So three chapters today. This will be filler chapter. Not much going on.
Steve sat in his office with Natasha and Wanda. They had just got back from Wakanda and he had enough work to catch up on with out the problem Wanda brought him when he got back.
It seems Peter got bored and decided to go exploring through the vents. This of course set off several alarms through out the building. Worse was he came out in a female shower room to the surprise of several female staff members who were using it after a work out in one of the gyms. At hearing the screams Pietro had rushed in and slipped on a wet floor slamming into a wall knocking himself out and was currently in the medical wing.
Fury had showed up and took control of Peter locking him in a holding cell till Steve and Natasha could get back. This had been 3 days ago. Steve was rubbing his temples while looking between the other two in the room waiting for one of them to yell Aril Fools.
"Well one thing is for sure Peter is suspended from any training till he can show he is responsible enough. We already have his spider suits so he can't use them. The question is what do we do with him?" Asked Steve.
"He has about a month left in the summer holiday. I got an E-mail from Clint yesterday. They are about to start running fence wire for the 300 acres of pasture in another week if the weather holds. They are also could use help with finishing the two horse pastures. They got the part that is on either side of the main barn and what runs along the front drive. That part was all wooden with horse wire lining the inside of the fence.
I say we send him to Clint for the rest of the summer. It will be hard work. Harder then mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms. I can take him out there and talk with Clint Laura about the trouble he keeps getting into. One of use needs to run out there anyway and check things over.
I would also suggest Tony suspend his internship till he proves to us all, he can act responsible enough to continue with it. That will hurt him the most. He loves his science and working in the labs." suggest Natasha.
"OK, talk with Tony and the two of you speak with his Aunt. Let her know what trouble he got into and your plan. If she is OK with it call Clint and let him know you have him a free worker for a month. I know Peter is a teen and they get into trouble but he needs to understand.
Take the kids with you. Wanda if you want to go you can. I'm sure you would like a break from the Compound. I say take Pietro but he will be in medical for another week. That and he gets in as much mischief as Peter. Vision also can't go he stands out to much with red looking skin." Steve told them.
"Thanks Cap" said an excited Wanda.
S/N
Three days later Natasha left with Wanda and the Kids. They were taking one of the SUV's so as to not draw attention to the fact Steve and Natasha own a farm. Steve had meetings with Fury and Coulson about the missions in Europe against Hydra. Fury was wanting the Avengers to deploy to the Helicarrier in case a STRIKE team needed help against Hydra.
The meeting had been going on for an hour about the different raids SHIELD had made against suspected Hydra bases and safe houses. When Fury brought up using the Avengers.
"I got Sam, Rhodes and Vision I can deploy. Pietro will be out of action for a month at least if not longer. Natasha is done with missions till after she has the baby. Wanda is taking a well deserved vacation. T'Challa is still in Wakanda but he can be recalled if needed.
Wanda went with Nat and the kids to see Clint. Clint has a job over seeing about 350 acres of fence to be run. That is what Peter will be doing. It is harder work then working around here cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors.
Tony has also suspended the internship along with he is suspended from the Avenger training program till he shows he can be responsible and follow the rules that were set down for him when Tony and I met with him and his Aunt." Steve explained to them.
"OK, deploy Rhodes, Sam and Vision. See if T'Challa can join them. I want you to remain here. This will let us see how they do with one of the others in charge. Cap I know you want to be with your team but you need to let them run there own missions. You and Widow have trained them well. Who do you want to put in charge?" Fury replied.
"Rhodes. T'Challa will be a good second choice but lets let Rhodes lead and if they split up to 2 teams T'Challa can run the 2nd team." commented Steve.
They talked about some of the missions coming up and which ones that may need the Avengers. After the meeting Steve call T'Challa and said he needed him for a few missions that would be run in support of SHIELD.

Natasha pulled up to her farm house to see Clint's truck parked in front. She and the others got out and headed behind the barn where they heard voices. Clint and the guys he hired were loading a flatbed truck to head out to work on fence. When they saw Natasha they all greeted her and Clint walked over to talk with her.
"Tasha, hey kids. Wanda glad you could finally make it out here. Tasha Laura stocked the house with enough food to last the week you said you, Wanda and the twins were staying.
Peter you will be staying with me so you can get up with me with out waking the others up. We will also be getting in late. I hope you are ready to work because the work you had to do at the Compound will be a cake walk to this." informed Cint
"OK Peter go with Clint I will put your bag in his truck. Clint, I am cooking dinner tonight so try to be in early enough to eat with us. Laura and the kids are coming over when they get back from town." ordered Natasha.
Peter headed off with Clint while Natasha, Wanda and the kids took their bags in the house. Natasha showed Wanda the guest room before going to hers and Steve's room.
When they were finish dropping off their bags Natasha lead them around the area the house and barns were located. The whole area was lined with fence that was like the fence that ran along the drive. It was a wooden fence with horse wire lining the side that was in the pastures. All the wood was treated and painted so that it would last years. Natasha was impressed with the work.
They then checked the new Barn for any calves that they had. It was located on the opposite side of the area in front of the house from the main barn. It had enough stalls for 25 calves with the ability to add if needed. They would try to keep the calves with there mothers but wanted the the calve barn in case it was needed.
Natasha showed Wanda the area that was going to be the yard. Natasha was going to have a white picket fence that went around the whole house. Her and Steve had talked about adding a pool but decide against it but was going to have jacuzzi off the back porch.
Wanda was impressed and told Natasha. "This is great. I might have to come visit you if you and Cap start spending most of your time out here."
"You will always be welcome." said Natasha.
Natasha and Wanda sat on the front porch swing while the kids grabbed a 4 wheeler and headed off to where they saw Clint and the others went.
"So you guys are going to raise cattle to sell to a meat packing plant?" asked Wanda.
"Yes, it's not that we need the money but it gives us something to do while we are here. I don't think either of us could sit still for any long period of time." answered Natasha.
About that time Natasha saw Laura coming down the drive. "Come on I'll introduce you to Laura."
When the kids got out they ran to Natasha yelling Aunt Nat. Natasha pulled them both in a huge hug while Laura walked up at a slower pace.
"Tasha, it's about time you showed up and what's this I hear you are pregnant." an annoyed Laura asked.
"Yes I am. How about you. Clint said you had a surprise for me." replied Natasha.
"Yes I am. I am 2 months along." answered Laura.
They both hugged. When they let go Natasha introduce Wanda. "Laura this is Wanda Maxamoff. One half of the older twins we have at the Compound."
"Welcome Wanda." greeted Laura."
The three woman went up and sat on the porch while the kids talked about what they had been doing since they last saw her. When it was getting close to dinner time they went in so Natasha could start dinner. James and Sarah showed up shortly after that.

James and Sarah were having fun on the 4 wheelers as they headed out to find their Uncle Clint. They found them on what would be the back side of the horses pasture. They both helped out and tried to learn so they could help around the farm when they stayed here. Peter also helped but didn't seem to enjoy it. They knew he was happier in a lab then doing manual labor.
When it was getting close to dinner time they decided to head back and see if their mom needed any help.
"You know it seems like it might be hard work at times but I enjoyed getting out working with my hands." said James.
"Yea it wasn't so bad. The guys Uncle Clint seem surprised I was willing to get my hands dirty." replied Sarah.
"Yea. Guess most of the girls around here don't get out and work." wondered James.
"Probably not." answered Sarah.
"I guess you never got to have any proper girl time. I mean you have a few friends that are girls but how often have or I been able to go out with our friends." commented James.
"I know but we got our driver's license and we have cars now but your right, with us going to school in Queens instead of a school near the Compound we hardly get to drive. Maye we should talk with Mom and Dad about going to a school near where we live. I mean we already took care of Peter. We will still get to see him once he is out of trouble and maybe visit him and the others some but I want to go to school close to home so we can have time with are friends." commented Sarah.
James wondered out loud. "Do you think Mom and Dad will be disappointed we want to cut back on training and be normal teens and spend time with friends."
"No, remember it was us that wanted all the training. Mom and Dad offered to let us have tie for our selves." answered Sarah. We can talk with them when we get back to the Compound."
The two finally got back to the farm house. They put the 4 wheelers up and made sure they were full of gas before going in to clean up and see if their Mom needed any help.
Dinner that night was a fun affair. All the Rogers missed their missing family member. They did video chatted with Steve that night. While they were talking Sarah brought up with her parents what her and James talked about. They were surprised how accepting their parents were. They both know they shouldn't have been. Both their parents in both time lines have always been supportive.
The week at the farm had been fun. They had gone in town a couple nights to eat and see what there was to do. Natasha, Wanda and the twins had helped work on the fence. James and Sarah had even learned how to drive the tractor. They had even found a surprise to show Steve. They had bought a German Shepard puppy. he last night there they had a big cookout that they invited all the farm hands and families. It was a lot of fun. The best part if any of them recognized Natasha they never mentioned it.
S/N
The week that Nat and the kids had been gone had been a busy one for Steve. They had 2 missions against Hydra were SHIELD and the local police worked together. Neither mission required Avenger intervention.
At the moment Steve was looking over some intel about a possible sighting of Rollins near an old Hydra base Steve and the Howling Commandos took out. If that base which was located in the mountains was active again. They would need a large force to take it.
There was a knock on his door so he told wo ever it was to come in. Phil walked in with Hill. "Have you seen the intel on Rollins yet Cap?" asked Phil.
"I was just reading it. There use to be a Hydra base in the mountains near there. If it is active again we may have trouble taking it. Working with local police is fine when raiding safe houses but a base like this." Steve relied.
Hill said "It won't be easy and we will need the Avengers to help take it. From some of the intel we have gathered the have some energy weapons."
Phil suggested "Lets watch the area with drones and Satellites for now. We rather intel on the place if it is being used and hit it when we are sure we can win with minimal losses."
"I will need everyone I can deploy. That includes Tony. Natasha won't be going on the mission but I will need everyone else." replied Steve.
"Well for right now we wait. We have intel that Hydra has branched out in some businesses around the world including the US. We are still not sure if we got all of them out of the government and military." Phil said. When is Natasha and the kids getting back?"
"Tomorrow. They are having a big cookout today." answered Steve.
"Hopefully we will have a lot of this Hydra business taking care of and you can go with them next time." suggested Hill.
"Natasha and I have talked about taking more time off once the Avengers are running well enough that they can handle things with out us for a month or more. We also have to get through all this stuff we suspect is coming up in the next couple years. Once all that is taken care of, you can bet we are taking time off. The kids want to try to have a normal High School experience. I have been looking in to a local school to enroll them in. The housing community will be ready in about 3 months. When it's done we will be moving in one of the houses." commented Steve.
"You both deserve it as well as your kids Cap. Try to enjoy the time you have with them being kids. Before you know it they will be grown and moved out." replied Hill.
With that Phil and Hill headed to SHIELD Headquarters. While Steve finished his paperwork.
So Peter got bored and tried to pull a fast one and got caught. Well he will learn putting up fence will not be fun. I know from experience. Natasha and the kids got to see the work done around the farm and help. We also had some James Sarah. Yes they want to train and be an Avenger still but they are getting a chance to be teens also and want to take it. Steve for the most part just monitored missions and did paper work. Not fun but his family will be back soon. Plus Natasha will tart suffering the effects of being pregnant. Be aware Avengers a Black Widow with mood swings may be coming your way. We will see another time jump next chapter and we will be getting in the time period of Civil War. But don't worry there will no Avenger fighting Avenger.
