Red/S-B

Laura was sitting in the chair with a cup of tea in her hands. It was still early but her house always woke up before sunrise anyway. She was watching the kids run around outside enjoying the snow. It was the day after Christmas and the day had started out with a lovely breakfast before the kids wanted to go outside. Wanda was currently with them. She could see them playing in the snow with Wanda watching them and occasionally throwing a snowball at the two of them.

Clint was currently taking a shower and Nate was napping. She wasn't sure where Natasha was at the moment, but she decided to not disturb the woman. She had seemed so stressed yesterday and Laura didn't want to make her more stressed by hanging over her shoulder.

Still, she lifted her head when she heard footsteps upstairs. They were barely noticeable, but she heard them. They were going back and forth and never seem to stop.

She continued to listen for a while, but when they didn't die down after a minute, she put down her mug before slowly making her way upstairs. She could tell it wasn't Clint so it could only be one other person.

She stopped in the middle of the staircase as she watched Natasha phase back and forth in the hallway. Her eyes were on the floor and she took a whole lap before she lifted her head and looked at Laura.

"Hi?" Laura said with a small smile leaning on the railing looking at Natasha. The redhead looked back at her for a second before her face finally seemed to relax.

"Hi. Sorry if I was disturbing you." Natasha said looking back at her. Her voice was soft, and nobody but Laura would have noticed the small, stressed tone in her voice.

"Don't worry. You weren't. I just wanted to check up on you. Are you okay?" Laura said with a calm tone watching the redhead slowly let her shoulders down. She was clearly very stressed, and Laura was starting to really get worried. This wasn't the normal "stressed" this was different somehow. She had seen the woman stressed before; this wasn't it. It felt off, but she had no idea why she got that feeling, it just felt…Strange.

"Yeah. Yeah. I just have…. Things on my mind?" Natasha said stumbling over her words. "Do you want to go outside? We can take a small walk maybe?" she added fast. Was she trying to stall?

Laura looked at her surprised but only nodded. "yeah sure. Nate will probably wake up soon. We can take a walk yeah." She said still confused about the whole thing.

After Nate finished eating and Laura had changed him into something warmer, she and Natasha made their way outside. The kids didn't pay them any attention as they slowly started to walk along the road and away from the house. Laura wasn't surprised they didn't care. And she had to let out a small laugh as they only continuing with their play not giving their mother any attention.

Most of the walk was silent and Laura could feel how tense Natasha was beside her. She constantly looked around and over her shoulder as if she was expecting somebody to jump them at any second. It was only 10:30 and it felt like most of the world was still on hold. As the world was still sleeping recovering from Christmas day.

"You trust me, right?" Natasha walked in front of Laura forcing her to stop abruptly. The woman was looking at her with a worried look in her eyes and Laura could tell something was up. Her eyes were very clearly nervous and her whole body language was on edge.

"Natasha, what is going on?" Laura asked looking around confused. She couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Only snow and trees. When she still didn't catch anything out of the ordinary, all she could do was to turn her head back towards the redhead to look at her. The woman continued to only look at her waiting for an answer, and Laura was finding it hard to get a good read on her.

She had said a similar thing to Clint and had gotten angry when he hadn't given her the answer she wanted. Why did she continue to ask about this? And why was she so stressed?

When Natasha's face gave her nothing, she let her eyes wander downwards trying to get anything from her body language. She squinted focusing on her hands for a second when she noticed her holding a tight grip around her right wrist. It was in a brace today as well.

Was she shaking?

Laura ended up not getting the time to answer before Natasha spoke up again.

"I need you to leave." Natasha snapped making her jump out of her thought rain.

Laura just stared at her. What did she just say?

"Excuse me?!" Laura said looking at her in disbelief. The redhead looked at her with two stressed and scared eyes. "Natasha I am not going to leave my house just bec-"

"Laura, do you understand I would never say something like this if." Natasha stopped in her sentence spinning around. Laura jumped back when she watched Natasha in under a second click of the safety of her Glock aiming around like crazy. She wasn't aware the woman had brought a gun with her, but she was aiming around, with her stance low, as she was ready to fire any second.

This was completely different from her normal calm stance she usually had when she normally handled a gun. She had seen Clint and Natasha train before, and Natasha was usually so in control when she was working with weapons. She was never like this; she was never tense and nervous.

She stood like that for five seconds just looking around before turning to Laura again grabbing her arm with a hard grip dragging Laura after her with a firm tug. She almost tripped over herself when she felt Natasha give her the yank letting out a small yelp as she was forced to follow the redhead.

Laura wrapped her arms around Nathaniel who was in his carrier on her stomach holding around him as if she was holding on for her own life. She had no chance of stopping the redhead and all she could do was to comply. Following without a fight as Natasha continued to pull Laura back towards the house still with the gun in her hand.

"I need you to take the kids to the car," Natasha said with a strict voice not even turning back to look at her. Laura didn't know what to respond. Natasha had never done anything like this. She never carried weapons around her. And she had certainly not told her to leave the house.

She didn't know what to do. What could she do? She had to listen to the woman. She had no other choice really. She could see the seriousness in Natasha's eyes. And she trusted the woman. Of course, she did.

Right?

When they got back to the lot Natasha let go of her giving her one sharp look before walking towards the house. Laura could only slowly make her way over to the kids and Wanda.

She could feel her hands shaking as she spoke to the kids. She told them they were going on a trip. She didn't say where and why. She only gave them one look when they question it. Making both of them shut their mouth in an instant. Thankful they didn't ask any more questions.

All she could do was to help them into the car after fastening Nathaniel in his seat. She was happy they actually had a truck that had space for 7 and not only 5 like before. It had been Natasha who had insisted on upgrading the one she had given them years ago. She had insisted on getting them one where you could put up two extra seats in the trunk if you needed. Laura had been resistant since it was only a couple of years ago got a new one from Natasha. But at the end of the day, she had given in. Now she was very happy she had.

She only gave Wanda a small look as she opened the trunk for her to climb into the back. The woman gave her one look back. It wasn't questioning. It was just a small, scared look. As if she could feel the stress that was currently running through Laura's body. She didn't say anything. Only climbed in and fastened her seatbelt.

Laura took one deep breath as she closed the door. All the kids were in the car. But she had nothing for Nathaniel or any of them really. She knew that by the back door leading to the kitchen was a diaper bag filled with all kinds of things for Nate. They kept some things in the car as well, but she knew that bag had a lot of supplies that could at least last for a day.

She could feel her whole body tense up as she slowly walked towards the house. She hadn't seen Clint or Natasha and she had a bad feeling. A really bad feeling.

The second she opened the back door she felt her whole body go cold. Natasha was standing in the kitchen in a defensive stans and Clint was currently doing the exact same on the other side of the room in the door by the living room to the hallway.

"You are not making me go anywhere by threatening me, Natasha. Either you tell me what's going on or…"

"Don't piss me off Hawkeye." Natasha's voice was only a growl as she took a step forward.

Laura couldn't get her body to move even if she tried. She watched Clint flex his arms ready to punch after her if he needed to. And Laura knew, if they collided now, this could easily turn very serious and very dangerous very fast. Worst case, fatal.

"We both know you cannot punch our way out of this. So, lower your arm and walk out that door right now." Natasha's continued. Her voice went from annoyed to scarily threatening in just one sentence as if she was mocking him from where she was standing. Challenging what formerly was her loyal partner.

"Nat. Listen to me okay," Clint said slowly taking a step forward. Immediately Natasha responded by lifting her own arm threatening.

"Love is for…" Clint tried again walking slowly forwards trying to reach the woman.

"Is making you delusional." Natasha only laughed before throwing herself forwards.

Laura almost screamed as she watched Natasha throw herself at her husband. With one swift motion, Natasha dragged Clint down with her. Clint fell on the floor with a loud thud while Natasha herself landed softly a summersault already proving she had the upper hand. Natasha whipped her head around towards both Clint and Laura locking her eyes with her for the first time since she entered the room. And before Laura could stop herself, she sprinted forwards.

"Stop!" She didn't even recognize her own voice as she screamed in fear. The response from the two of them was immediate. In a millisecond Natasha threw her head up before jumping towards Laura with a look in her eyes that reminded her of nothing but a predator while Clint threw himself the opposite way.

"Put the bow down Hawkeye." Natasha's voice was cold and almost a light laugh as she spoke. Laura could barely breathe as she felt Natasha tighten the grip around her throat resting the knife impossibly close to her neck.

Laura could only look at Clint with fear in her eyes as he continued to aim the bow at Natasha.

"Nat put the knife down. You don't want to do this." Clint's voice was shaking as he tried to talk to the other woman.

She could feel the redhead laugh behind her before saying coldly.

"You know very well if it is ever down to my reaction versus yours, we both know who will win. Don't we." Natasha tugged at Laura one last time forcing Laura to look back at the redhead. To look at her cold emotionless face.

Laura wanted to cry as she looked between what was supposed to be her best friend and her husband. Both with a weapon in their hands ready to kill any second.

"Get away from Lau…"

"THEN LEAVE," Natasha screamed. Laura felt herself pressing her body up against the redhead when she finally felt the blade against her skin. She was shaking in the redhead's strong arms as she tried desperately to get away from the knife that was only getting closer.

"Clint please." Laura only whispered letting one tear fall as Natasha tightened the grip again forcing Laura to start fighting her. She could feel her body panicking for the first time in years. It was like everything was trying to crush her from every single angle and she had no escape. She could feel herself trying to wiggle out of Natasha's strong grip. With her whole spine tightening as Natasha continued to force her to stand still.

"Let her go!"

Laura almost fell to the floor when Natasha gave her a hard shove, only barely keeping herself on her feet, stumbling into Clint's arms.

"Take the dumb bag and leave." Laura turned her head slowly in Clint's arms and watched the redhead pick up the bag before walking up to them. She could feel Clint freeze as Natasha shoved the bag into his arm giving him one last cold look before passing them.

"Get out!"

They had been driving for hours. It was way past sunset and it was pitch black. Outside you could only see a few feet in front of you and it was hard to picture out anything from the surroundings. Laura watched the snow dance over the front window. As they continued down the black road.

She turned around to look make sure the kids were at least partly with them. Wanda was sitting behind her by the window. Resting her head on the glass. She had a concerned look on her face, but she smiled when she locked her eyes with her.

Lila and was in the middle, sleeping, resting her head on the older girl. Nate was sleeping in his own seat. He had been sleeping for most of it. Thankfully. Lastly was Cooper, who was in the back now. And he was too sleeping.

She was happy the kids were sleeping at least. They had been so good when they got explained how serious this was. No questions, just listening, and following orders. She was thankful they understood the seriousness and didn't question it, because it was serious. They had no idea what was happening and all she knew was that Clint needed to get them back to the facilities. To the avengers.

She had a feeling they were close now. She didn't know where they were, but she knew they were outside of the city. They had been driving for hours and she had lost track long ago. Not that she had paid much attention either.

Clint was staring out the window intensely. They had been switching between them with who was driving, of course, but Laura didn't really know where they were going so Clint taking the wheel at least for the last couple of hours was the most logical thing.

The adults were really just barely hanging on. They were all so tired, and even when they weren't driving none of the adults had gotten any sleep. They had done this for more or less 13 hours nonstop. They started around noon. Now it was past midnight. And driving with heavy snowfall, and for most of the time, the dark was extremely tiring for both of them.

They had tried to keep the breaks as short as possible. Only stopping when somebody needed the toilet, to feed Nate and get food for the other grownup. It wasn't in any way ideal, but they had to. They had continued to drive.

Because they were desperate.

Desperate to get away.

To get somewhere safe.

Laura had for the first time of the day just drifted to something that felt like sleep when she woke up by a strong light shining on the car. She opened her eyes to see a big spotlight pointing straight at them making her lose everything of any night vision she ever had.

They were at a big gate and Laura could see a camera on one of the columns blinking red. They stood there for a good 15 seconds before the gate slowly started to open. She turned to Clint to look at him, but he only looked straight forward pushing down the paddle and they slowly continued to drive.

They continued to drive for a few minutes along the dark road. It was only trees around with no lights. She had no idea where they were, but she could feel Clint knew. He knew where they were now. She could feel him for the first time in 13 hours lower his shoulders.

And soon Laura could see why.

She could barely see it, but between the trees, she could see the forest open up and some lights were breaking through. Some white buildings slowly started to form in the dark.

They were finally here. At the Avengers facilities.

Maria was already there ready to help them inside as they pulled up at the entrance. She was standing there hugging herself in a big coat. Shielding herself from the harsh wind and snow. It was 2 at night so most of the lights were off. Still, Laura could see some light way up at one of the top stories and it was a couple of light outside with Maria as well.

Laura could see the concerned face Maria had as they pulled up, but as they stopped Maria's face softened. She smiled softly at Laura as she exited the car.

They didn't bother to do all the hugging they normally would have done. They were all too tense. To tried. To stressed.

"Follow me." Maria's voice was soft as she spoke. The other woman opened the door on Wanda's side, letting her out before carefully leaning into the car picking up Lila. Clint was already in the middle of unbuckling Cooper from the back, so it was only Nate left now.

Laura walked to the other side of the car opening the door slowly. She lifted him carefully out of the car, while Wanda grabbed the one bag they had brought with them. The one bag that is supposed to cover the whole family.

They all followed Maria in silence, not saying anything as they walked through the empty hallways. Maria had Lila, she had Nate and Clint had Cooper. All of them in the dark just walking without a single word. She was thankful the kids were still sleeping. The two eldest were heavy sleepers in general. But she was surprised Nate didn't wake up.

She had no idea where Maria was taking them, but she didn't really have the energy to ask. She trusted Maria. And she knew she wanted to help. Besides, what other choice did they have at this point?

They took an elevator up to one of the top stories before exciting on one of the top floors. In front of them was a beautiful hallway. Unlike the rest of the rooms they had passed, this seemed very much like a normal home and not as industrial. They passed a few rooms. One of the doors was open and Laura could see a big bedroom on the inside.

Maria stopped in front of a door signalizing to Wanda to open it. Wanda nodded slowly before pushing the door open. Inside was a big bedroom with two single beds, a double bed, and a crib. They didn't need to ask before they carefully placed the three kids down on the bed.

Laura could not believe Nate had actually slept through that. But she was not complaining as she watched all three kids still sleeping soundly in the unfamiliar room.

She smiled as the former spy turned on what seemed like a baby call before nodding at the door. The three others could only follow her out of the room before she closed the door behind them.

"Friday, alert us if one of them wakes up okay?" Maria said as she started to guide them through the hallways again.

"Yes, Hill" A woman's voice came out of nowhere and Laura could feel herself freeze up for a second. But she knew better than to jump when she felt a little bit of fright. Maria laughed softly at her before saying.

"It's always nice with some backup." Laura could only nod not entirely sure what to answer.

Maria stopped in front of a big glass door. They could already look straight through the thing, but Maria only smiled at them before nodding at Laura and pushed the door open in one swift motion.

"Welcome to the new Avengers facilities."

It was a beautiful living room under the big panorama window. It was stunning, and Laura could feel her jaw open as she looked around the whole floor. It was so big. It had a modern design, and everything seemed to be of the highest quality. From the chairs to the lights in the ceiling to just the small plants in the corner. Clearly, it was a lot of money and time behind all of this. And words couldn't really describe what she was feeling as they moved slowly over the floor.

One floor over Laura could spot a kitchen looking over the living room. And just from her awkward angle, she could see the beautiful modern kitchen layout.

"Wow" Laura only let out as Maria leads them through the living room and to a staircase leading them upstairs. She hadn't noticed them earlier, but upstairs at one of the tables were already Tony, Steve, Sam, and Rhodey seated. But worse of all. She could also see Pepper. Pepper Potts.

Laura turned around to look at Clint. To see if he was expecting this, but he too seemed very surprised to see them all. She watched as he looked back and forth between them as he was in the same shocked state as her.

"Well now that we all are here. I don't think we need to introduce ourselves. This agent already told us last time she "knew all of our names" so" It was Tony who spoke up first. Of course. His sarcastic voice made Pepper roll her eyes and Maria let out a small sigh before offering them a seat. Laura looked slowly at Clint who just nodded at her softly. She felt extremely awkward as she slowly pulled out a chair to take a seat by the table.

"Does any of you want something to drink?" It was Steve this time. His voice was way softer than Tony's, but he seemed tense still. He looked at them all trying to get an answer out of them. When none of them answered he just stood up and went through the cabinet. He was obviously just grabbing random things at this point. Like Apple juice and milk. But even when nobody had requested anything everyone reached after a cup or glass when he put down the tray. Because for some reason the idea of some juice now seemed like a great idea even though it was in the middle of the night.

Laura was playing with her glass waiting for everyone to get their drink of choice before Maria finally broke the silence.

"Okay let's just get this over with. Clint, Laura, what happened?" Her voice was firm and straight to the point. It was no point in trying to stall or talk their way out of it. Just finish this already. Everyone just wanted to get this over with clearly.

"Honestly I don't really know," Clint said looking at Laura and Wanda who both decided not to say anything.

"Well, we obviously don't know anything either. All we know what you told us on the phone. Which was for the record. Nothing." Tony said with a sarcastic voice rolling his eyes dramatically.

"Tony calm down." Pepper hissed looking at him with an annoyed look.

"I am just saying that all we know is that Natasha decided to go all crazy. And while I will say she is a wildcard; I am pretty certain none of us expected her to turn on us like that." Tony said ignoring Pepper completely.

"She just told us to leave. We don't know why." Laura added. Ignoring the part she had treated her with a knife and fought Clint. She didn't want to think about it. And honestly, the last thing she wanted was the Avengers to start fighting over it. What Natasha had done was completely out of character and she knew that the second they told them it would change more or less everything,

Obviously, Maria didn't buy it. She looked at her with a suspicious look tilting her head. She wasn't even hiding how she was clearly reading Laura's every move and her body language every passing second. She could very clearly tell Laura was lying, and she knew she could not hide it anymore.

Clint too seemed to notice Maria's behavior. He looked at them for a second before taking a deep breath and saying. "She threatened us. Both of us. She fought me throwing me over her shoulders. Before." He paused and the whole room held its breath as they watched him talking.

He took one breath before saying. "Before she pulled a knife at Laura."

The reaction in the room was immediate and she watched as Maria tensed up, Steve drop his jaw, and Pepper looking at him in shock.

Nobody said anything. They only stared at her with a look as if they didn't believe what Clint had just said.

Laura only lowered her head. She could feel her own tears press on the back of her eyes. She could feel her hands shaking around her cup. She only looked up when she felt a hand on her thigh. To her surprise, it was Wanda who looked at her with a soft look in her eyes.

"Laura. We need to know what happened. What she said to you and how she acted to know what our next move is. Do you understand?" Laura only shook her head when Maria tried to get her to talk. The other woman looked at her with hurt eyes. But Laura didn't want to talk. She felt like her throat had locked up and all she wanted to do was to leave the room and cry her eyes out.

"Well, we need to know more than that. We need some kind of motive. Clint?" She could hear Steve talk. It felt like he was standing miles away. She didn't want to be a part of this conversation.

"I barely remember anything. All I remember was anger." She could hear him reply. His voice still seemed angry. As if he too didn't want to have this conversation.

"Wanda?" It was from Steve again. It was a tone in his voice. But she didn't know what kind. She didn't know what it meant. She didn't care what it meant. Still, Laura could feel the reaction beside her. Wanda moving her seat.

She could feel Wanda squeezing her leg again making her meet her eyes. The young woman looked at her with a soft smile. As if she knew where she was coming from.

"Please?" It was like she felt some kind of warmth's behind her eyes and for a second it all seemed to turn red.

She closed her eyes for a second. And it was like her head got sucked backward for a second before she heard Wanda's soft voice. As if it almost seemed like it was coming from… behind her eyes.

Do you trust me?

Laura opened her eyes looking at Wanda with tears in her eyes. It was like she already knew what would happen. But maybe it was for the best. She wouldn't have to talk about it but then Wanda would know. She could speak for her if it was ever needed. And maybe then she could just put it all behind her. Maybe.

She nodded slowly before closing her eyes. She didn't want to see their eyes. Their reaction. She didn't want to see their reaction when she was forced to live through it again.

She felt Wanda's hand on her shoulder. She gave her one small smile before red light exploded in her eyes and she felt her own body fall backward.

She was struggling to understand what was happening in front of her. She could clearly see they were back at the farm. It was the morning where she had found Natasha phasing. They were outside walking. She could feel herself moving and holding around Nate as she walked beside Natasha. But even if she was there in her own body it felt so far. So distant.

She watched Natasha walk up in front of her again. Her eyes seemed so scared. So worried.

"You trust me, right?"

Natasha's voice was like an echo. She could see her lips move and her voice was there, but it was so far. She could hear herself struggling to answer before Natasha whipped around pointing the gun around. This time Laura got a real look on her scared face. As if her emotions were standing out, even more, she could see the whole woman tens up in fright. Her eyes screaming in a language that said fear, fright, worry.

She felt herself getting pulled after the redhead again. With a strong grip, the redhead grabbed her forcing her back to the house. But this time Laura could see it. She felt it. As if the second her hand touched her skin, she felt all the emotions in the redhead flow over to her.

She was never angry like Laura had thought it looked like. No, it was no anger in the redhead. It was only fear.

Laura felt her head slightly spin when she felt another fast transition from outside and to inside her kitchen. As if somebody had just thrown her into the kitchen from outside through the walls.

She was watching Natasha and Clint's standoff. Laura felt the fear down her spine again as the two stared at each other. And for just one second, she watched Natasha's eyes move back looking at her. She was aware the redhead had looked at her originally. But this time she saw it. She felt it. Pain flashed over the redhead's eyes and Laura felt the fear right in her heart making her struggle to even keep her own eyes open.

She only felt fear as she screamed at them to stop.

She watched Natasha for the second time jump after her. The second Natasha laid her hand on her shoulder to grab her, pain-filled her heart. It was like she practically could hear the redhead screaming in her head.

Laura wanted to scream. To cry. To tear her hair out as she felt pain and panic in her chest mixed with Natasha's cold emotionless voice as she continued to hold the knife close to Laura.

The second Wanda let go Laura let out a loud cough as she felt her stomach threaten her to turn on her. She could feel tears streaming down her face. Tears she wasn't aware was there in the first place.

She could feel the room spinning as she opened her eyes, slowly lifting her hand to her forehead trying to make out the room around her. Immediately her eyes fell on Wanda's red eyes. The glow was slowly dying down, but she could clearly see the red fire still burning in what was supposed to be Wanda's green eyes.

"What just happened?" It was Steve's voice. Laura had almost forgotten where she was. She turned around to look and everyone in the room. Everyone had the same concerned look in their eyes as they watched Laura and Wanda try to collect themselves. She could feel Clint's arm on her shoulder, but she didn't want to look at him now. It was like a kind of guild was still hanging over her and she just couldn't look into his eyes right now.

Instead, Laura turned her attention back to the teen in front of her. Wanda was looking down at her hands with two pain-filled eyes.

"I… she is hurting," Wanda whispered. Her eyes were filled with pain of her own, and Laura's heart was starting to ache as she watched the teen look down at her lap with tears in her eyes.

"Wanda, I need you to use words we can understand, we still don't know what happened," Tony spoke up. His tone was disapproving as if he was talking to a dumb child.

"She wasn't angry Clint. She wasn't threatening you because she wanted to hurt you. She is scared. She is hurting. She feels threatened." The last part was only a whisper. Laura could only look at the other woman who was at this point so low as if she wasn't sure what to do with herself.

"How do you know. You weren't there!" Clint snapped back. Laura had a feeling he wasn't trying to be so harsh. But it was a lot to take in. Laura was still not sure what to think. But she felt it too. How Natasha was only screaming in pain and fear the whole time.

"I… don't know. I just felt it." Wanda looked up at him. Laura could see both Steve and Maria's eyes softened as they saw Wanda's own hurt eyes.

Maria let out a heavy sigh before saying. "We need to find out what she wanted." The whole room stayed silent just watching the other woman.

"I'll take the quinjet and a few of the former spies. I'll leave immediately. Maybe we can catch her." The woman looked around in the room to see if anyone gave any protests. Nobody seemed to want to say anything back to the woman. But before Maria had the chance to leave the room Tony let out a big sight.

"This isn't like her," Tony said massaging the side of his head making Maria look at him with a skeptical look.

"I mean yes, but that isn't wha-" Maria tried before getting cut off.

"APPP, I wasn't done," Tony said cutting her off with a finger. "She might be a former spy and agent for all kinds of crazy people. But is it one thing she would never do, is it, to hurt you two." Tony turned to look at Laura and Clint. "and maybe you to" Tony added nodding at Pepper who straightened up a bit.

"My point is!" Tony raised his voice to see if everyone was still listening.

"This isn't like her. She would never plan anything involving scaring her family. Or hurting Laura! I don't need to be in her head, like the little witch her, to know Laura got scared when Natasha points a knife at her ready to kill her. And we all know Natasha would never do that, okay." Tony pushed his chair away from the table standing up looking at all of them.

"She might be a scary spy. But she…" Tony let out another sight before slamming his hand on the table making everyone jump.

"SHE IS WORKING FOR SOMEBODY OKAY"

Laura just stared at him. Her head felt like it was exploding as Tony was continuing to feed them information.

"She was scared. She is scared. And what is the first thing that dumb woman does when she feels threatened? She makes sure everyone else is safe. I know it's hard to believe this enhanced 19-year-old. But this woman has already messed with all of our feelings before, and no offense to you Wanda, but is really fucking good reading our feeling. We just have to trust her on this one. It is the only thing that makes sense." Tony continued to look at them as he spoke.

"She has to be working for someone. We are talking about the world's most faired woman in the world. You don't see her scared every day" Everyone continued to just look at him before Maria let out a sigh.

"I'm going after her. Maybe I can…"

"YOU WON'T FIND HER THERE SHE WILL BE LONG GONE!"

"I NEED TO TRY!"

Maria and Tony just stared at each other before Tony mumbled. "We need to go now." He looked at all of them before turning around.

"Everyone else stays here. Steve. Help them fix up their rooms. Maria suit up. Something tells me we aren't only going on a farm vacation."
