The quinjet lands on an empty field and the crew begins to disembark the plane. Natasha grabs seven bags and exits. Once outside she throws a bag to each of them keeping one for herself. Vision carries a suitcase in his hand.
'Before we enter the safehouse I would like to tell you that you all are sworn to secrecy and I will kill you if word gets out about this place.' Natasha threatens. They trudge towards the house, their spirits rather lively at the new situation. Clint unlocks the door and calls out to someone.
'Laura we're home.' He shouts and soon enough a youngish woman appears carrying a baby in her arms. She immediately hugs Clint and turns to Natasha.
'You're always right you do realise that Tasha.' Natasha smirks and brings her in for a hug. 'Now take your baby, it needs bonding time with its mama.' Laura comments handing the baby to her. Natasha grins at the woman and then cuddles her baby to her chest. She begins to relax the visible tension releasing her from it's grip.
The rest of the runaways except for Wanda and Steve looked absolutely floored at the new revelation. Bucky chuckles to himself, finding the situation entirely hilarious after not thinking it was possible after the Red Room for any Black Widow.
'Wait you have a kid Romanoff?' Sam asks. He stands there shocked and a bit apologetic after having taken away the mother from her babies during the collapse of SHIELD.
'What does it look like Wilson. I randomly kidnapped a baby and then proceeded to raise it in a safehouse. ' Natasha turns away from her friends and towards the stairs leading up to the first floor. She shouts up the stairs. 'Lila, Coop we're home. Auntie Wanda and Uncle Steve are also here too.' Two pairs of footsteps can be heard noisily hurrying down the stairs.
'Mama' The children both cry racing towards their mother. They both wrap themselves around her waist grabbing on to her. Slightly assuming she is just a vision from a dream or something. After noticing Clint they run excitedly over to him. 'Mama said you were in jail like a bad guy' the young girl tells him. 'She says you did something brave but also bad and so the boss guy Ross had to come and give out to you.'
'I did do something but it was a bit naughty. I helped Uncle Steve escape from Ross and then I got locked up in a big bad guy jail. Well luckily, Uncle Tony and Mama were really kind and got me out of there along with Auntie Wanda and Sam. Also we met a guy called Scott who is called Antman and he has a daughter called Cassie who might come to play sometime.'
'Everyone this is my daughter Lila and my son Cooper. Lila, Coop meet James Barnes, Sam Wilson and Vision. Sam helped Mama a while back while I looked after you, Vision helped us during the battle with Ultron.'
'And Cooper, James is your father' Natasha adds.
'He survived? He wasn't predicted to make it through the second trimester. I thought the chemicals were unstable.' Bucky sputters out absolutely bamboozled.
'Well he did so go hug your son. You have a solid twelve years to make up for in lost time. This time please don't try to kill me, Steve or Sam' She addresses the rest of them. 'Basically Red Room and HYDRA decided to have a group project. The end product was Coop.'
'Wait this is my dad? I thought you said he was a soldier with the bad guys?' Cooper asks worriedly, hiding behind his mother. She looks at him reassuringly.
'Coop, remember how daddy got brainwashed by Loki during New York?' She asks him calmly and warmly.
'Yeah. I mean I kinda couldn't forget we had to move in with Auntie Maria for a bit.'
'It's like what happened to daddy that happened to your father except bad human people brainwashed him. And just like daddy your father got better and helped Uncle Steve kick but.'
The group in the doorway are still frozen except for Wanda and Steve who already knew all this. They were more relaxed in the situation and Steve was absolutely ecstatic to see his niece and nephews again.
Lila breaks the silence by running over to her Auntie Wanda and clamouring to be picked up. Wanda obliges and pulls her onto her hip.
'Are you ok Auntie Wanda? Mama said you were feeling a bit sad?' the anxious five year old asks her favourite auntie. Although this had never been outrightly expressed by the young girl everyone in the family knew by her actions.
'I'm fine now little monkey. In fact I think to cheer me up even more I might have to play princesses. But I wonder who would be able to be my princess bestie?'
'Me me me' Lila shouts and the two go off to play. Steve walks over to Natasha and takes the baby from her saying he needs to play with his godson.
Cooper, Natasha, Clint, Vision, James and Sam are all left in the hallway all silent and not talking.
'Why I explain you should all come sit down. It's been a hectic couple of weeks.' Natasha sighs out breaking the silence. She immediately goes back into stress mode that most of them are used to seeing at one point or another during the last while. 'Birdbrain go and boil the kettle and Coop I need you to get the extra chairs from the barn. I'll make everyone some food. When everyone is back we can start talking.'
Everyone does their various jobs and arrives in the kitchen/dining area. Sitting down at the table. Cooper sits in his mums lap and holds his dad's hand.
The others sit on the opposite side of the table. They all munch on the sandwiches and drink the tea for a but until they start to ask questions.
Sam is the first up acting annoyed. 'Why did you go on the run with Cap and go on a hiatus while you had kids at home we could have done it without you if we'd known.'
'It was more important to save SHIELD at that moment and besides Clint was home.'
'You nearly died Natasha.'
'It takes a lot more than James and HYDRA to take me out Sam. You know that.'
Sam protests go quiet as he mumbles under his breath.
'You were so okay with dying in Sokovia. Did you not want to be with Lila, Cooper and the baby?' Vision asks her. Concerned with the children theoretically haven to grow up without parents if something had gone wrong.
'We knew they were safe. And we were doing everything we could to protect them.' Clint answers.
'Mama did you and daddy nearly die?' the eleven year old child asks from her lap.
'Ms Romanoff and Mr Barton nearly die a lot of the time Master Cooper.' Vision tells him.
Cooper giggles. 'He sounds like JARVIS.'
'We'll tell you about it later Coop. But its time for the grown ups to do some talking. Go get Uncle Steve and tell him to come in. Auntie Laura would love some help with making the beds.
