Tony, Steve, Director Fury and Clint were all in the meeting room. Steve was leaning against the wall by the door, watching as Stark and Fury fought. A few minutes had passed and he let his gaze fall to Clint who just sat quietly at the table, back straight, eyes looking off into the distance.

"Did you not think I would have ever found out!" Stark yelled, his face inches from Fury's.

"Well maybe you shouldn't have been snooping around in our files." Fury stated calmly.

"I don't trust S.H.I.E.L.D as far as I can throw them of course I'm going to snoop around in your files. You knew all this time and you never told me."

"You told Brenda you didn't want to have anything to do with her or her child." This broke what little sanity Tony had left and reeling back his right arm he unleashed all his strength onto Fury's jaw. Fury shaken by the sudden impact tumbled backwards and onto the floor, Tony then shook his hand in pain and stormed out of the room. Clint stood quickly and followed him catching his attention once they were out in the corridor.

"She's awake now, if you'd like to meet her." Clint spoke tentatively, not sure what his punishment would be for not informing Stark about Jade earlier, but Tony just nodded his head. The pair walked quietly down the corridors of the helicarrier towards the medical bay.

Arriving at the door, Clint knocked lightly. "Come in." Doctor Banner's voice sounded from behind the sheet of metal. The door slid open quietly and Clint entered to see Banner standing next to Jade who was sitting on her bed legs dangling off the side, her injured arm held against her chest with a black brace, and a giant smile plastered on her face.

Clint's eyes connected with Jade's and he noticed they brightened up and a warm smile came to her face. Her legs began to swing back and forth in the air in anticipation of being released. "How are you feeling Miss Childs?"

"Much better thank you Agent Barton." Jade looked from Clint to Banner eye's pleading to be released. Bruce just smiled and nodded his head, and before anyone knew Jade was up and had her good arm around Clint in a hug.

"Thank you for saving me." She whispered pulling back and looking up at him.

"Jade there is someone that would like to meet you." Clint spoke placing his hands on her shoulders and pushing her back to the center of the room. Clint stepped over to stand with Banner, as Tony entered the room.

Tony was left speechless, this girl, this grown up woman was his daughter. He couldn't make his mind believe it even though he knew from the DNA comparison he did it was true.

"Mr. Stark?" Jade spoke in disbelief, her brain was going a mile a minute trying to figure out why Tony Start, the most brilliant mind in the world would want to meet her. She swiftly walked up to him and stuck out her good hand for him to shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you Sir, I greatly admire your current work on being able to provide green energy to large populations."

Tony just blinked looking down at Jade's extended hand. He couldn't move, he couldn't even comprehend how to make a words come out of his mouth.

Jade began to wonder if she had done something to offend him and began to pull her hand back slowly, when suddenly Stark wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her as though she were his lifeline. The pain in her arm suddenly shot through her body, and she let the scream escape through her lips.

Tony pulled back quickly looking her to make sure she was okay. It was at that moment he couldn't stop the tears that fell from his eyes even if he truly wanted to. She was his daughter, the daughter he thought he would never see again.

"Mr. Stark, are you alright?" Jade questioned, not sure as to why he was breaking down in front of her.

"Jade, Tony is your biological father." Banner whispered trying to bring some answers to the poor girls questioning looks.

Jade looked Tony's face over and immediately saw the similarities. "Dad?" The words sounded so foreign on her tongue. Her mind began to spin as her past raced in front of her eyes, it all started to make sense now. Her mother and he would have been so young at the time, such a smart kid having to be a father, I'm sure that's not what Stark Enterprises needed. Then the money, she always wondered how a single mother was able to never have to worry about money. There was always food on the table and her schooling was paid for debt free. "Daddy?" Jade tested it again trying to make sense of it all.

"Daddy." Whispered Jade and she wrapped her arm around Stark, gripping him tightly like he might fade away, ignoring the protests from her injured arm as she did so. Tony slowly brought his arms around Jade and held onto her as they both silently cried.

Clint took this moment to slip from the room, his mission was over, Jade was safe and they had the location of the Russian terrorist groups main base. Yet as he walked further away from the medical bay he couldn't help but wish he was he who had his arms around Jade at this very moment. A short time later he found himself in the training room, needing to relax he grabbed a bow and quiver of arrows and began to take aim at the targets at the other end of the room. Half an hour later he was down to his final arrow and as he steadied himself to fill the bulls-eye up completely he heard a small soft voice behind him. Letting loose the arrow in surprise it completely missed its target hitting high of the target into the wall. Clint turned around slowly to see Jade leaning on the door frame cradling her injured arm, he never even heard someone approaching.

"That's some good aim, sorry I distracted you."

"Shouldn't you be resting, and visiting with your newly found father?"

"I think his name was Director Fury paged my father to meet with him." Jade laughed lightly as she pushed off the frame and walked towards Clint. "It feels funny calling him my father. As for the resting Dr. Banner said I could wander around if I liked as I was starting to get a little stir crazy."

"I am glad to see you're doing better Miss Childs or should I be referring to you as Miss Stark now?" Clint chuckled while moving to stand in front of Jade.

"Please just call me Jade, Agent Barton." She smiled up at him with that warming smile of hers, and he found he just couldn't keep the wall up. Crushing his lips to hers he kissed her with burning passion, and she responded almost instantly. Her hand made its way to his hair and his found her bottom.

Lifting her up with his left he walked them towards the miscellaneous arms table and sweeper everything off with his right before sitting her down on it, all the while not breaking their kiss. Jade allowed herself to be laid down flush against the table as Clint crawled on top of her, his hungry kisses making their way to her neck.

"Mmhmm." Came a woman's voice from the door. Clint jumped off Jade and looked towards Natasha, putting on his soldier face he helped Jade up.

"Natasha?" Clint questioned quietly. Natasha did no look impressed.
