When the family got home, Clint carried Luk who was fast asleep in his arms. Natasha opened the door for them, and saw Clint take their son to his room. Once Luk was tucked in, Clint came downstairs to see Natasha sitting on the couch with her head in her hands.
"Nat, don't do this to yourself" Clint said sitting next to her and putting a hand in one of hers.
"Steve figured out some of our secret Clint. If he continues digging he'll get everything and I don't want to lose my baby" she explained with tears in her eyes.
"We knew when Fury asked us to do this that maybe one day one of the others would find out" Clint reminded pulling her into his arms. "We gave them new beginnings Nat and I won't let Rogers take those away from them. I promise you, and this is one that hasn't and won't get broken"
The two kissed for what seemed like minutes and weren't broken up till the front door opened.
"Hey, I'm home" a teens voice reached them.
Natasha got up wiping the tears quickly. "Welcome home Theo. How was your trip to Washington?"
"Great mom. We got to go into the white house and were given a tour" the thirteen year old explained excitedly. "Hey where's Luk? I wanted to show him some pictures that I took on my trip"
"Your brother's upstairs in his room sleeping and I want him to stay that way" Clint informed and his oldest son nodded understanding.
The boy ran upstairs to get changed out of his school uniform. Clint saw Natasha look down while biting her lip.
"You know I got us all excited that I was pregnant and then it was all false. Fury gave me some time off and then they come into our lives when I was in the hospital from that little accident" she said making Clint walked over to her agreeing.
"I think it was a sign that we were meant to all have new beginnings" he informed making her smile. "I remember when you held Luk in your arms for the first time. You had tears going down your face. Also when Fury whispered his problem with finding people to raise them. We just jumped to it and all we had to do was sign those papers and we had our family"
Natasha turned to Clint with a smile and wrapped her arms around his neck. The two started to kiss again and then heard two sets of gagging sounds. Looking up the stairs they saw their sons watching them.
"Can we get take out for dinner tonight?" Theo asked with a smile as some dirty blonde hair fell in front of his blue eyes.
"Yes, we can get take out tonight Theodore Barney Barton" Natasha teased using his full name.
"Mom" the boy looked down embarrassed.
"Theo, you know your dad wanted your middle name to be after you uncle" Natasha reminded making the boy roll his eyes.
"The uncle that we've never met" Theo replied as he and Luk came downstairs.
"Well, that's part of a long story" Clint informed as he just finished ordering over the phone.
"Whatever dad" Theo shook his head and turned on the TV.
Luk sat with him on the couch watching as his brother went through the channels. Theo stopped on the news when he saw the Hulk and Luk curled his knees to his chest and hid his head in his arms. Natasha went over to him running a hand on his back.
"What's wrong with Luk?" Theo asked confused.
"He just had a bad day" Clint informed as the door bell rang.
He answered the door and took the food before he paid the delivery man. After closing the door, he put the food on the table. Natasha and the boys came over to eat and they talked. After dinner the two boys got cleaned up and watched a movie with their parents. When it was over Clint carried a fast asleep Luk upstairs and Theo walked up to his own room yawning. Once Luk was tucked in, Clint went into his and Natasha's room, to see his wife come out of the bathroom in pajamas. He changed quickly before going to join her on the bed. As he kissed her, there was a loud knock on their front door that made him look annoyed.
"I'll get it" Clint informed as he ran downstairs and answered the door to see no other than Stark waiting outside. "Can I help you with something?"
"One put on some pants Barton. I mean who answers their door in only boxers and a T-shirt" Tony said looking disgusted as he leaned on the doorframe.
"People who happen to be about to go to bed" Clint replied still looking annoyed. "Now care to explain why you are here at my house at twelve o'clock at night"
"Well, you suddenly stopped talking to me during our conversation on the phone. I thought I'd take my jet here to see if everything was okay" Tony explained like it was something he should know and then crossed his arms with a smile. "So where's Natasha?"
"Upstairs, most likely sleeping which I'd like to be doing right now" Clint answered and Tony held his hand up. "Look Stark, we got to get the boys ready for school in the morning and we both have work"
"I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. Now I'll leave you to get some good nights sleep" Tony turned to leave when he stopped not moving.
"What's wrong now Stark?" Clint asked shaking his head.
"We need to talk Clint" Steve said walked to the door.
"I told you to stay away from here. Now get off my property before I put an arrow in you Rogers" Clint threatened clenching his fists.
"I don't care Clint. You used to be my teammate and you're going to listen to me about how dangerous it is"
"Don't you dare call him an it or say he's dangerous. After what you did today, you're lucky I don't have you arrested for trying to kidnap my son"
"What? Steve you did what today?" Tony looked at Steve totally shocked and tried to come up with something else to say.
"He can't be allowed to remain free and I won't let you ignore me" Steve said a little loud and Tony stepped back from him.
A door opening upstairs got their attention. "What's going on down here? Clint, both boys need to get up early for school and not be woken up by-"
Natasha stopped at the bottom of the stairs shocked by Steve being there. She saw that Clint was trying not to attack the soldier while Tony looked completely confused on what was happening. She moved some hair behind her ear and walked over going between her husband and Steve.
"Why are you here Rogers? Me and Clint made it very clear we didn't want you anywhere near our family. Especially after what you tried to do today" she reminded with disappointment and anger in her voice.
"Natasha, you know the danger that he can be to everyone and we can't risk innocent lives by him being-" Steve was cut off by a slap from her which made him move his head to the side.
"Don't you dare talk about my son that way" she warned pointing a finger at him.
"Can someone tell me what's going on please?" Tony asked looking at the three.
"Mom? Dad? What's going on?" Theo asked as he stood at the top of the stairs rubbing his eyes.
"Go back to sleep Theo" Clint instructed as he saw Steve was gone.
"Why were you mad at that guy?"
"Theo come on, you have school in the morning" Natasha said and the boy listened to her going back into his room. "I'm going to go make sure Luk is still asleep and also that he isn't having any bad dreams"
Clint nodded as she walked back up the stairs and into their youngest son's room. He then turned his attention back to Tony to see the man walking to a fancy car leaving. Giving the man a wave bye, he closed the door locking it and was about to head back upstairs when he heard Natasha yell his name. He ran into Luk's room to see his son's bed empty and Natasha with tears in her eyes.
"Nat what happened?" he asked putting both hands on her face.
"I came in here to check on him and saw his bed empty and his window is unlocked" she explained looking like she was about to break down.
"I'm going to call Fury and see if he knows what's going on" Clint told her before leaving the room.
He went into their room grabbing his cell and call Fury for the man to answer annoyed. Clint explained that Luk was missing to the former director which seemed to what the man up.
"Barton was there anyone near the house that could've got in and grabbed Luk?"
"No, the only ones here were Stark and-" Clint stopped feeling so stupid for not realizing. "Rogers, he was here telling me Luk needed to be locked up. He left before Nat went to check on him"
"I'll try to get in touch with him. Barton don't get ahead of yourself and go back down that path. You and Nat need to be clear headed and I want to first give that captain a piece of much needed advice about messing with well trained assassins"
Clint agreed before he hung up the phone and turned around to see Natasha was at the door. She had her arms crossed looking ready to attack something and he knew who she wanted to hurt.
"I mean it Clint, Steve has really pushed it this time and is going to pay"
"Nat, Fury is going to find out if he really took Luk and will send him to us once he's done with him"
"He just better leave some of him for us" she said before going downstairs.
At the airport where Tony had his jet waiting for him, he saw Bruce come running over to him. The scientist seemed to be nervous about something and then Tony saw what. Steve was hold the arm of a boy that was trying to get free from his strong grip and looked extremely scared.
"Rogers, why do you have a kid with you? Who by the way looks like he's scared out of his mind and wants to get away from you" Tony confirmed crossing his arms.
"I need you to watch him for me Tony. HYRA want him and we can't let them get their hands on him or else we have a huge problem" Steve explained as he loosened his grip on Luk. "We aren't going to hurt you and just want to keep you safe"
"I want my mom and dad" Luk cried as he still tired to get away from him.
"Hey, don't be scared. Everything will be fine okay. These two men and me are going to take care of you" Steve tried to calm him down and then saw objects in the air move. "Luk relax or you might have an accident. I knew you can't fully control it, but you getting yourself worked up like this is only going to make it worse" Steve explained and saw the boy close his eyes.
"I want my mom and dad. They can make me relax and not let any accidents happen" Luk cried as he tried to stop the object floating.
After a few seconds the objects were back on the ground and Luk started to shake. Tony looked at Steve seeing that the boy was still scared of him and then took the boy away.
"Kid, how about we go on this nice plane and you can go to sleep one the nice comfy couches in it" Tony suggested with a smile.
Luk nodded while rubbing his eyes and was carried into the plane. Bruce followed Tony while giving Steve a disapproving look. Steve ignored it and thought about how much trouble he's going to be in with the two former assassins. Especially if they think he wants to hurt their son and that would make his pain worse from them. Getting into the plane, Steve tried to not see images of what his future could be like when they find him.
