Sy
She woke up to Bruce lightly shaking her shoulder. Sy groggily stood up, shaking her stiff wings out before pulling them in tightly against her spine. She followed behind Steve, her armor glinting in the fading afternoon light as they walked across the field they landed in. Clint was leading them towards a farmhouse, not unlike the Big House at camp.
"What is this place?" Thor asked warily. Tony shrugged.
"A safehouse?" He offered skeptically. Clint didn't even turn around as he responded.
"Let's hope." He muttered. The front door creaked a little as he opened it, carefully supporting Natasha inside the house. They all follow him into an open plan living and dining space filled with homey touches. It didn't look much like a SHIELD safehouse, but Sy knew that looks could be deceiving. But if it was just a safehouse, even a potentially compromised one, Clint wouldn't be this nervous.
"Honey, I'm home!" Clint called. Sy's jaw dropped when a heavily pregnant woman cautiously emerged from around the corner. Her own shock was mirrored across the rest of the group.
"Hi. Company. Sorry I didn't call ahead." Clint apologized sheepishly. The woman just smiled and leaned up to give him a kiss.
"Hey." She answered easily, even though apprehension had filled her voice.
"This is obviously an agent of some kind." Tony mutters to her and Thor, still in complete shock. Sy felt herself coming around to the idea, suddenly understanding why Clint so rarely spent his down time with the rest of the team in the tower; always vanishing off to some mysterious other place.
"Everyone, this is Laura." Clint said proudly, one arm wrapped around his wife. Laura let out a nervous half giggle.
"I know all of your names." Sy raised an eyebrow at Clint, who just gave her a kind of half shrug. She rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. She doubted Laura would be the reason the greek world was exposed to the mortal world. Sy's head snapped around when she heard the sound of pounding feet. A minute later two kids came racing down the staircase.
"Ooh, incoming." Clint muttered, pride already lighting up his eyes. He wrapped the boy and the girl into a huge hug, lifting the younger daughter into the air.
"Dad!" came the excited shouts.
"I see her! Hey buddy..." Clint and his family's bliss made her grin, even though a small kernel of jealousy wormed its way into her heart. She loved the Avengers, and she loved Steve. But nothing compared to the way her dad used to make her feel. Before camp and monsters and war and aliens and spies; when it was just her and him against the music. And as much as Camp and the Avengers were her family, it just wasn't the same.
"And these are smaller... agents." Tony muttered, pulling Sy out from her melancholy thoughts. She let out a sarcasm laden snort, leading Tony to shoot her the stink eye. Sy stuck her tongue out at him in retaliation.
"Did you bring Auntie Nat?" The little girl asked. Natasha grinned, instantly covering the pain and exhaustion that had been etched on her face a moment before.
"Well, why don't you hug her and find out!" She teased, swinging the little girl up into the air, peals of childish laughter filling the air.
"Sorry for barging in on you." Steve said slowly, confusion still furrowing his brow. Tony broke in, bewilderment and slight hurt coloring his tone.
"Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea you existed." Clint shrugged, holding his family close to him.
"Yeah. Fury helped me set this place up when I first joined. Kept it off SHIELD's files, Maria's done the same. I'd like to keep it that way. I figure it's a good place to lay low."
"We won't abuse your hospitality." Sy promised. Suddenly she hears a crunching sound. Both her and Steve glance over at Thor, who had just accidentally destroyed someone's lego creation. Sy caught the tail end of the conversation over the Barton family's incoming member when the little girl walked over to them. Thor stared down at her uncomfortably. Suddenly, Thor's eyes flashed red and the god shook his head hard, stumbling slightly. Sy crouched down with a grin, distracting the girl while Steve carefully ushered Thor outside, away from anyone or anything he might accidentally damage.
"Hi kiddo, what's your name?" She asked her awkwardly. She wasn't entirely sure how to deal with a mortal kid. She'd always dealt with demigods; who rarely came to camp this young. Even when they did, those kids had been hardened by the life being a demigod brings them. She didn't know what to do with so much innocence. She was terrified of accidentally ruining that.
"Lila." Came the short response.
"My name is Sy." Lila scrunched up her nose, wide brown eyes staring up at her.
"Your name is funny."
"Lila." Clint's wife reprimanded. The little girl frowned, not looking the slightest bit ashamed. Sy just laughed, relieved by the familiar reaction.
"It's ok, I think it's kinda funny too. My whole name is even sillier though, it's Syrinx. But I like Sy better. I like to play music, what do you like to do?" She asked gently.
"That is silly. I like to color. Will you come color with me?" Sy nodded and stood up. Lila took her hand and dragged her away.
