Hey ya'll, I just want to say thank you to everyone who reviewed. I'm glad you do like the story, and to the person who said it was moving a little slowly, that was on purpose. It's going to be picking up a bit in the next chapter. Anyways, this is for all of you who reviewed, thank you so much. This chapter has a little bit of messing with Tony since he's always messing with other people I thought it would be fun to mess with him a bit. Enjoy!

The next morning I woke up in Bruce's arms, as I lay there I realized that he had been right. I had been stressed, and I had been talking it out on him. I sighed as I thought back to the night before and I smiled before I gently kissed his chest. He sighed in his sleep and I got out of bed before pulling on one of his shirts. I went to the girls' room and looked in there, they were both still sleeping so I went to the kitchen and sighed seeing no coffee around. I went bathroom next and took a nice shower before getting out and realizing that our bags were still in the car.

I had a backpack in the bedroom with clothes for the girls and for Bruce, but all there was of mine in it was underwear, hair and tooth brush and a pair of yoga pants. I went to the bedroom and got on my underwear and the yoga pants before putting his button down shirt back on and my sneakers from the night before. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and went outside to where we had parked the van the night before and sighed seeing it had moved.

"Looking for someone?" I jumped hearing someone behind me and turned around to see Logan there.

"Yeah anyone who knows where the van went, I think I left our bags in the trunk." I said and he nodded.

"Yeah it's this way." he said and nodded with his head. I followed after him and he looked down at me. "So Assistant Director huh?" he asked and I nodded.

"Yup." I said with a small smile. "How did you get involved with them?"

"Some of the people who had been at the school longer, they knew about SHIELD, when Stark took Amanda that day, they get me in touch with this guy, Coulson, I called him when I got to Canada again." he said as we got to a building. He opened the door for me and I stepped inside, followed by him. It was a jet hangar, with two jets and a helicopter inside. I smiled seeing them, and Logan led me to an elevator.

"SHIELD really has kept up with this place huh." I muttered and he nodded. We stepped into the elevator and went down to the next level where I was greeted with the familiar sight of Tony working on a suit. I smiled at the sight and he winked as I walked in.

"Well it's about time you decided to show up," he said. "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"It's seven forty five."

"That's right- Well, seven forty three actually, I see you're a fan of rounding up, you always were, but anyway, it's seven forty four!" he said and I laughed.

"I don't work for you anymore Tony." I pointed out and he sighed.

"Tell that to the accounting, they've had you on payroll since you came back from Maine." he said pointedly and I stared at him in surprise.

"You're kidding right."

"You know now that you mention it, I did hear a good one about us, okay, so the Avengers walk into a bar and- Do they have bars in Canada? Hey, Swan Lake, they have bars here right?" Tony asked Logan who grumbled something under his breath.

"Tony, I've got a lot going on this morning, I have to go find our bags."

"You know Director Banner, you could just have one of your minions find it." he said as I started to follow Logan. "I already did!" he added and we both paused. He nodded to a pile of bags on the floor next to the table he was working on and I smiled lightly. "I was gonna have someone bring them to you last night, but uh, Pepper distracted me."

"Okay Tony-"

"Twice." he said with a nod and I laughed as Logan looked mostly disturbed.

"Thanks Stark." I said as I kissed his cheek.

"Oh yeah kiss on the cheek from the new director. You're lucky I never would have let Fury do that." he winked and I rolled my eyes as I picked up two of the bags, Logan quickly took the third and took one from me, before leading me back to the door. "Hey, Minnie, I'll see you at the meeting." he called and I nodded as I stepped onto the elevator with Logan.

"How the hell do you stand that guy?" he muttered and I smiled up at him.

"I worked for him for a long time, and I was his personal assistant for awhile. Spending that much time with him, you get used to it." I shrugged and he shook his head.

"I don't think I could get used to that." he said and I shook my head.

"He's really sweet when you get to know him. He's..." I paused. "He's one of my best friends." I nodded and he raised his eyebrows before looking forward. We walked out of the elevator and were met by three agents waiting for us.

"Excuse me, Director Banner?" one of them asked and I looked at him. He was middle aged, kind of pudgy, and looked like a desk agent.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted a chance to meet you before you had that meeting this morning," he said quickly. "My name is Ira Hanks."

"Good to meet you Agent Hanks." I said as I shook his hand.

"This is Jeremy Butler,"

"Agent Butler," I shook his hand with a smile.

"And this is Elizabeth Wells."

"Agent Wells," I smiled at her. "Are you a Lizzy or a Beth?"

"I'm a Libby." she said and I nodded.

"Good, I knew a Beth once. She stole my boyfriend at the time." I said and she laughed. "Alright, well, if that's all, I've really got to-"

"Actually Director, while you're here, if you could just come over here and take a look at this-"

"Good morning." a familiar voice said and I smiled seeing Agent Coulson. The other agents must have answered to him because they instantly grew quiet as he drew nearer.

"Phil," I smiled and he smiled at me. "Good to see you. How's Heather?"

"She's good. She's here." he added and I smiled.

"Oh, great, at least I'll know someone around here." I chuckled and Phil nodded.

"Looks like Logan is going to escort you back to your house, do you have any questions?" he asked and I shook my head.

"No, yeah, one actually, who do you have to kill to get a cup of coffee around here?" I asked and he laughed.

"I'll see what I can do." he smiled. I nodded and he made sure we got out of the hangar without anyone trying to get my immediate attention.

"You've never met any of those people?" Logan asked and I smiled as I shook my head.

"Just Phil."

"And you're the Assistant-"

"Actually Logan, I'm their Director." I said as I looked at him. He looked down at me and I caught his eye. "Nick Fury is dead." I said pointedly and he nodded, understanding my meaning.

"How did you swing Director?" he asked and I smiled.

"I've got good genes." I shrugged. He snorted and we got to the house.

"Well, Director Banner," he said as I opened the door and put the bag I was holding inside. "Here's where I leave you."

"Thanks for your help Logan." I said and he nodded as he handed me the other two bags.

"Hey," I heard from inside the house. I turned and saw Bruce standing there with a towel around his waist, holding a toothbrush. "Morning Logan."

"Dr. Banner." he nodded.

"Morning." I smiled as Bruce went to kiss me. "Go finish brushing your teeth." I laughed. He rolled his eyes and I pushed him away playfully. "I'll see you later Logan, thanks again." I laughed as I stepped inside.

"See you later." he said and I shut the door.

"Come here," Bruce said pulling me to him. I smiled as I lightly pecked his lips.

"Finish brushing your teeth." I said and he sighed as I moved away from him.

"You know it's kind of unsettling, waking up and you're gone." he said to me as I opened my bag and smiled seeing my clothes. I took the bag along with his bag into the bedroom and threw them both on the bed.

"I had to go find some clothes if I'm expected to be at some sort of debriefing meeting today."

"And you walked around SHIELD agents dressed like that?" he asked with a laugh.

"Oh whatever Dallas." I said and he looked into the room, with a hand over his heart.

"Oh ow, that hurts." he said with a hurt look on his face.

"Why does it hurt, you love Dallas." I said looking at him. "And don't try to deny it; I've seen the way you two look at each other." I winked and he raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, you're going to go there are you?" he asked and I smiled.

"Whatcha gonna do about it?" I asked and he grinned as he walked over to me. I giggled lightly as he leaned down and wrapped his arms around me, holding me up, I opened my legs, clinging to his hips with my thighs as he pressed me up against the wall, anchoring me there, I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, running one hand through his damp dark curls.

"What do you say?" he asked and I smiled.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I grinned before rocking my hips lightly. He drew in a breath and was about to say something when the door opened.

"Hey Minnie, have you seen- Oh Sorry!"

"Shit." Bruce said in surprise as he let go of my legs. I gasped, he caught me quickly and set me down as Amanda slammed the door, I looked at him, he was turning red and I laughed.

"Well that'll remind her to knock." I said with a laugh and he ran a hand through his hair. "Oh, and Honey?" I asked and he looked over at me. "At least you still had your towel on." I shrugged and his face turned deeper red. I laughed as I got on some clothes quickly and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I put on a little makeup while Bruce got dressed silently, looking slightly disturbed still. "Stop thinking so hard." I said. "Your hair will catch on fire."

"I don't know what to say to her." he said and I laughed.

"Honey, I'll talk to her. She's sixteen; it's not like she doesn't know what sex is." I said with a smile.

"I know, I know, I just-"

"I know." I said and I kissed his cheek. "I've got that meeting- god it feels weird saying that." I shook my head.

"Why, you used to have meetings with Tony all the time." he said and I sighed.

"I know, but this time it's different." I sighed.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, we'll all be right there with you." he said and I smiled.

"Actually it does make me feel better." I said and he nodded as he pulled his shoes on. I put my SHIELD ID into my inner pocket and walked over to the girls' bedroom and knocked. Amanda called a muffled 'Come in' and I walked in. She was still really red in the face and I smiled as I sat down on the side of the bed. "Kayla did you go potty yet?" I asked and she looked to the side for a moment before jumping up and running to the bathroom. "Bruce, help her get dressed when she's out." I called to him.

"Okay." he replied. "Uh, where's her bag?"

"By the door." I responded and he walked out of our bedroom and went to the bag. I walked back into the bedroom and shut the door before sitting on the side of the bed again with a small smile.

"Minnie I am so so so sorry." she said as she looked up, but not at me.

"Honey, it's okay." I laughed. "I'm sure you know about sex and everything, right?"

"Just what they taught us in school." she said and I smiled.

"The mechanics of it, right?" I asked and she nodded. "Right, well, you don't need to worry about sex right now, I mean, I know you're a young woman, you'll be feeling things-"

"All I feel right now is embarrassment." she said quickly and I laughed.

"Honey, its fine. Look, just... I'm always here to talk to you about anything you need, ever, but let's just say, uh, if the door is closed to the bedroom, just knock, okay?" I asked and she nodded with a blush. "It's fine; I remember the first time I walked in on my parents." I shuttered. "And let's just say, it wasn't as tame as what you just walked in on." she made a face and I nodded. "Yeah not something you want to see when you're nine years old. And I wasn't fortunate enough to know about sex-ed yet." I said and her grimace deepened.

"I guess, I mean, my mom died when I was little, and my dad, he just let me learn at school and he never really had girlfriends or anything, and he was never around, so you and Bruce, you guys are the closest things to parents I've ever had." she shrugged.

"Well, sweetie," I said with a smile. "We've both considered you our daughter for a long time." I said and she looked at me with large eyes.

"You have?" she asked and I nodded.

"Of course honey, do you really think we'd keep dragging you around from place to place if we didn't?" I asked and I wrapped my arm around her. "Face it, you just walked in on your parents for the first time." I shrugged and she groaned.

"Oh god, stop." she said as she rested her head on my shoulder. I gave her arm a squeeze. "If it makes you feel any better, Bruce had absolutely no idea what to say right now, he's mortified too." I nodded and she let out a small laugh.

"God I can only imagine what Tony would say if he finds out."

"Oh he'll find out." I rolled my eyes and she looked at me in horror. "He finds out everything." I nodded.

"But- But I-"

"The thing to do is just roll with it. And hey, Tony finding out, not the worst thing that could happen. It's embarrassing for you, sure, but every morning after he finds out, he'll be asking either me, or Bruce, or both of us, if we had a good night or if one of the kids walked in." I said and she rolled her eyes. I paused as I thought about it and then smiled. "Do you want to mess with him?" I asked and she looked at me curiously.

The debriefing went by smoothly, I was brought up to speed on what was going on in the states, there were some issues with moving equipment to Canada and while we still had a few friends in the government, it was hard finding people willing to support us for the time being. We decided to play a wait and see game, I decided I wanted detailed files about each project that was happening within our base so I could better understand it, and Phil backed me up on that order. "So, your first order of business, how did it feel?" Tony asked.

"Weird." I said with a small laugh.

"As weird as your kid walking in on you this morning?" he asked and I shot him a glare. "Hey don't blame me, your husband had this look of utter horror on his face when he walked in, I guessed either you were pregnant or one of the kids figured out how babies are made." he shrugged and I rolled my eyes as I sipped the coffee Phil had gotten for me. "So which one was it? I hope it was the older one."

"It was Amanda." I confirmed. "Poor thing, she's mortified, she won't talk about it with me." I sighed.

"Aw, she'll get over it." he said and I smiled lightly.

"I hope so." I said and he clapped me on the shoulder.

Later that day I went to where Tony had been working on his new suit. He was talking with Clint and Bruce while Steve was making an adjustment on his shield, the hold was a little loose he informed me.

"Hey guys." I smiled and they looked over at me. "Sorry, I just wanted to borrow Clint for a sec." I said and Clint walked over to me.

"What's up?" he asked as we walked away from Bruce and Tony. The elevator came down behind us and opened, showing Amanda who was biting her lip lightly.

"Hey Blondie." Tony said to Amanda who rolled her eyes slightly before she smiled at him, still looking a little uncomfortable.

"Tony can I ask you something?" I heard her ask and he looked a little surprised but he nodded.

"So I was wondering," I said as Tony and Amanda moved away from Bruce who went to talk to Steve. "Do you think either you or Natasha would have any time to train me a little?" I asked and he looked a little surprised.

"Sure, I mean, in what?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Well, I'm kind of a wimp over here, and sure I've got, what Tony calls, a Big Green Bodyguard, but if something were to happen like what happened before Kayla was born, well I'd like to be able to defend myself." I answered and he nodded, I could see Tony look at Amanda questioningly and I smiled. "Wait, shh, you've got to hear this." I muttered.

"What's going on?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Tony told you she walked in on me and Bruce this morning." I said and he nodded looking slightly uncomfortable. "Such a yenta." I muttered and he smiled. "We decided to mess with Tony a little." I shrugged and he looked at me with a smirk.

"Well, um, I don't know if you heard, but I kinda walked in on Minnie and Bruce this morning." she mumbled and Tony suddenly looked a little uncomfortable. Teasing me and Bruce about it was no problem, but when she came up to him to ask him about it, suddenly he wanted to be anywhere else in the world.

"Uh huh." he said, his eyes moved over to me and I pointed at an area on the folder I was holding open, keeping a straight face. If there was anything college taught me it was how to keep a poker face thanks to many lost games of strip poker. Clint nodded and I turned a page.

"And, um, I mean I kind of know like, what was going on, but um, I was really sheltered and there's some things that don't make sense to me." she continued and Tony's eyes shot back to her.

"You're kidding right?" he asked and she rolled her eyes.

"So anyways," she continued. "I mean, you've had a lot of girlfriends, right?" she asked and he shook his head.

"Not really no, are you sure you don't want to talk to, oh I don't know, Pepper, Minnie, Natasha, hell even Coulson about this?" he asked and she sighed.

"Well I mean, you've been with a lot of girls, so you know this stuff right?" she asked and he ran a hand over his face, growing very uncomfortable.

"I- don't-"

"Does it work if you're not laying down?" she asked and the look on his face when she asked, Clint and I both burst out laughing, I was holding onto him to keep from falling over.

"Oh my god, your face!" Clint laughed. "Oh god I wish I had a camera." he laughed and Tony turned red, making it one of the few times I've ever seen Tony blush.

"Well played Blondie." he nodded to her while Amanda cracked up.

"Oh god Tony, your face, it was priceless!" I laughed.

"You are so fired." he said pointing to me. br BrBR "I don't work for you Tony." I said with a grin.

"You're right, you don't." he said thoughtfully. "Amanda, you want a job?"

"What?" she asked and he raised an eyebrow.

"Do you want a job?"

"Uh... Sure?" she asked.

"Good, you're fired." he said and I rolled my eyes. "Actually, that's a good idea." he said thoughtfully.

"Tony she's sixteen." I protested.

"Prefect age to start, plenty of room for moving up." he said casually. "Okay, yeah, you're hired." he said and she looked at me.

"What just happened?" she asked. Bruce and Steve were still cracking up from the look on Tony's face.

"You're not hiring my sixteen year old." I said and he narrowed his eyes.

"It's already done."

"Undo it." I said as I put my hands on my hips.

"Or what, you'll get all SHIELD on me?" he asked and I smirked lightly.

"Or I'll call your wife." I said and he looked at me slightly startled.

"Amanda, you're an intern." he said after a moment and I rolled my eyes.

"Until you go back to school, speaking of which-"

"Speaking of which, come learn science!" he said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her over to the work bench they were working on. I rolled my eyes and looked at Clint who looked me over before smiling.

"Ready?" he asked and I frowned.

"For what?" I asked.

"Training." he replied.

"What, now?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Got anything better going on?" he asked and it was my turn to shrug.

"Okay." I said and he grinned before leading me to the elevator.

Hope you liked it! Please don't forget to review!
