I don't own the Avengers or Harry Potter.

I do own my OC, please don't use her or copy her character.

Warning this fic will be AU and will be Fem Harry, there will also be Bad!Dumbledore and Dumbledore and most of the Weasley's bashing. I would also like to thank Aeroza for being the Beta Reader for this story.

But Fem Harry is not a horcrux in this fic.

Each chapter will be between 1500 and 2500 words long.

"It's okay Taylor, I'm just picking you up because you can't put any weight on your ankle for about a week." Bobbi reassured her.

"We are going to go to the airport now Taylor," Maise told her then.

There is Always Hope - Chapter 5

March 2007; SHIELD Quinjet, 14:20

They had got on the Quinjet about two hours ago, and there was still another six hours to go before they would land in Washington DC. Taylor was thankfully easy to entertain, and she was happily working on a puzzle; with Bobbi giving her pointers when she needed them.

Hopefully it would be a smooth flight all the way there as Fury had text her not five minutes ago and explained that he would be going to tell Natasha and Clint that they had found their daughter, and that they were on their way home.

Maria honestly felt a little sorry for Nick Fury having to explain to Natasha and Clint that their oldest daughter had been abused, so much so that when she replied to his text, she wished him good luck, and suggested that he wear body armor.

"Maise, can you tell me about my parents?" Taylor called from where she was sitting with Bobbi. "Of course, what do you want to know?" Maria asked, going over to sit with Taylor and Bobbi. "What are their names?" Taylor asked, glancing up at the two adults nervously.

"There names are Clint and Natasha, your Mom got red hair like you do." Maria told her goddaughter. Bobbi, however, caught Maria's eyes when she looked up from Taylor, and Maria knew what she was asking do we tell Taylor who we are to her. Maria got the feel that the longer that they left Taylor thinking they were PI's that her parents had hired the worse her reaction would be, so she nodded at Bobbi. Yes they should tell her.

"Taylor, there is something else that we should tell you… Your Mom and Dad work for a law enforcement agency, and they are two of the top agents. Because of their positions and the danger that it could put you in, we think it might have been because of their jobs that you were kidnapped in the first place. We had to lie to you to find out if you were their daughter." Bobbi started, "We aren't actually PI's Taylor, we are good friends with your parents we work in the same agency as them. When you were born they made us your godmothers, and while we were pretending to be PIs we had to change our names, our real names are Maria Hill, and Bobbi Morse." Maria finished.

Taylor blinked as her six-year-old mind was trying to take in the information that she had been given and that they had lied to her, she didn't like being lied to… But Mais- No, Maria said that they had to so that she and her parents would be safe. Taylor wasn't sure if it was okay to lie to someone if it was to keep them safe, but Maria and Bobbi were friends with her parents, and they were her Godmothers? Taylor wasn't really sure what a godmother was, but it did sound important, and maybe she should forgive them for lying to her.

Her parents - Clint and Natasha, (She couldn't quite see them as Mommy and Daddy yet) might not want her if she didn't forgive Maria and Bobbi, so it would be best to forgive them.

"Taylor are you okay?" Bobbi asked gently, after Taylor had been silent for over five minutes.

"I think so, I think I can forgive you for lying to protect me. What is a godmother?" Taylor asked; rapidly changing the subject in a way that only small children seem to be able to do.

Bobbi shared a look with Maria as they both were glad that Taylor had forgiven them, and if the situation wasn't so serious they would have been amused with her ability to change the subject.

"Thank you Taylor, I'm glad you could forgive us." Bobbi said to her.

"A Godmother, is someone who in some families is there to guide their godchild spiritually like in religion. But to be honest with you Taylor your parents aren't very religious, and they did it mostly so that if anything ever happened to them, they could be sure that people that they knew and trusted would be looking after you." Maria explained.

"Oh, okay. So I will still see both of you when I am with my parents?" Taylor questioned as she gotten gentle nods, "Yes, you will still see both of us, don't worry." Bobbi promised her.

March 2007; Barton-Romanoff Apartment, 10:32 (Same day; Just accounting for the time difference between UK and DC)

"Are we going to do anything on our rare day off?" Natasha asked Clint. She walked from the kitchen into the living room where Clint was play with their three year old daughter Kinsley, it was nice when they got time off together especially now Kinsley was doing more and getting a lot more active.

"Well… What do think Kins? We could go to the park or the Zoo?" Clint suggested half talking to her, and half to their daughter.

"Zoo, Dada." Kinsley stated with a happy smile, directed at her Daddy.

"There you go Tasha, zoo it is." Clint said grinning at her.

Natasha rolled her eyes, no one at SHIELD would ever believe that this was what they were like outside of work, with the exceptions of Phil, Mel, Maria, Bobbi and of course Nick.

"Okay-" Natasha was about to continue when there was a knock on their door. It could only be one of five people as no one else was cleared to get through security, and as Bobbi and Maria were on mission that meant that it was either Mel, Phil or possibly Nick.

"I get that, then shall I?" Natasha said, when Clint made no indication that he was going to move. "Thanks Tasha!" Clint called after her.

"Nick?" Natasha asked as she opened the door as Nick was the last person on the list that she had expected. "I need to speak to you and Clint, it's personal." Nick explained as he moved past Natasha.

When the three adults were settled in the living room and Kinsley was suitably entertained with toys on the floor, Natasha and Clint looked expectantly at Nick Fury; their boss who had said that his visit was personal, and it limited what he might want to talk to them about well a lot.

"What is it?" Clint asked, he was less patient than Natasha was.

"It's about Maria and Bobbi's mission, they requested it because they thought that they might had found a lead on Taylor." Nick started, as soon as he mentioned Taylor, both assassins sat up straighter and interrupted him.

"Did they find anything?" Natasha asked quietly as she was shocked at the news and yet, "Why didn't they tell us earlier?" Clint questioned angrily.

"Yes they did and they didn't tell you because I ordered them not to, don't you think I see what each failed lead does to you two, I wanted to spare you that." Nick explained.

"Okay, so what did they find?" Natasha asked, a little touched that Nick would try to spare them more pain.

"They found Taylor in Surrey, England. They are on their way here now, and they are due to land in a little under six hours. There is something else, they found a lead because of a hospital report… Taylor was in an abusive home. I know that you are angry now, but think of your daughters, the law has handled the scum, and I think you two have six hours to sort out Taylor's room." Nick told them hoping to keep their focus on their daughters and not the abuse.

The arguments that followed were in all honesty, scary; even for the Director of SHIELD, neither Natasha or Clint raised their voice because of Kinsley, but they certainly made their angry, hurtful, and displeased emotions known. It took him over an hour to calm them both down and he was every glad that he had taken Maria Hill's advice to wear a bulletproof vest.

March 2007; Barton-Romanoff Apartment, 16:46

It had been a hectic and emotional six hours since Director Fury had come to their apartment and told them that Maria and Bobbi had found their daughter; who had been kidnapped five years ago, after Nick had managed to calm them both down the first thing to do was reassure Kinsley that everything was okay.

Then try to explain to her that her older sister; Taylor, had been found, would be home soon, and they weren't entirely sure that Kinsley understood but it was the best they could do right then.

Next on the list was calling in backup, thankfully both Phil and Mel were just working on paperwork and were more that happy for a reason to stop. Both of them were thrilled that Taylor had been found, and like Tasha and Clint, they were furious that Taylor had been abused.

After explanations were given they started working on making Taylor's room suitable for a six year old girl. It was almost a miracle that they had managed to get it done in time, and now they were just waiting for Bobbi and Maria to arrive with Taylor.

Melinda and Phil had agreed that meeting all of them at once might be a bit much for Taylor, so they had left with promises that when Taylor was ready, they would come and meet her.

"Mama? Tay coming?" Kinsley asked curiously as she knew that there was something going on with Tay; with everything that Mama, Dada, Aunty Mel and Uncle Phil had done with the room, but she was still confused.

"Yes, Taylor is coming home, she is your big sister. Remember when I told you that Tay was taken and we couldn't find her, well your Aunty Maria and Aunty Bobbi found her so they are bringing her home now." Natasha explained again hoping it might help.

Not long after she had finished explaining there was a knock on the door, and this time Clint bolted up to go and answer it as Maria and Bobbi were there and Bobbi had a beautiful little redheaded girl, with green eyes in her arms looking half curious and half nervous.

"Come in guys," Clint said, relying on his training to keep calm and not scare his daughter.

Bobbi and Maria followed him into the apartment, spotting Natasha hovering by the living room with Kinsley next to her. They all walked into the living room, Kinsley was obviously almost bursting with excitement, Taylor on the other hand was uncertain and was watching Natasha, Clint and the little girl that she hadn't been told about.

"Taylor, these are your parents Clint and Natasha," Maria introduced.

"Hi Taylor, I'm really glad that Bobbi and Maria found you, we have been looking for you for five year ever since you were taken," Natasha said gently and she saw how nervous her eldest child was; hurting her about how her situation ended up as, "Hi," Taylor murmured.

"Hi Tay! I'm Kinsley, you're my big sister!" Kinsley exclaimed excitedly, clambering up on to Maria's lap so she could be closer to Taylor.

Natasha shook her head slightly as it seemed that Kinsley could contain herself any longer, and Taylor looked even more unsure; if that was possible, and Maria had obviously seen it too because she kept Kinsley on her lap; preventing her for getting closer to Bobbi and Taylor.

"Kinsley, slow down a bit. Taylor how would you like me to show you your room?" Natasha asked.

Taylor thought about it as Bobbi and Maria hadn't told her about Kinsley, and maybe they had wanted to leave that to her parents since it would been nice to know before, but it didn't matter too much. It seemed that she had a little sister, who was very excitable, and it was all a bit overwhelming and going with her Mom would get her away from that.

However, she didn't really want to leave Bobbi and Maria as they had been the first people to make her feel safe, answer her questions, and maybe it would be okay if one of them came with her.

"Okay, can Bobbi come too?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah, Bobbi can come too." Natasha agreed at understanding her, and lead the way; with Bobbi following her with Taylor.

Clint and Maria quickly distracted Kinsley from trying to go with them, thankfully the toddler was easily distracted.

That is where I am going to leave it, I know I'm awful but the next chapter we see Taylor's room and Taylor and Natasha have a talk.

Please review and tell me what you think. I have already started writing the next chapter and I will have it posted as soon as I can.
