In the following two years SHIELD was able to destroy all known Hydra bases. Steve and his team tried to be close at hand incase SHIELD needed help. Luckily they were not needed. Also SHIELD and other major law enforcment agiencies were sure they had all the major Hydra ageants in the US. They figured there might be a few low level Hydra ageants keeping a low profile and passing on what information they could to the Hdra leadership in Europe.
For Steve and Natasha they continued to spend most of their time at the farm. When the 100 acer place between their farm and the Barton farm came up for sell they baught it. Steve had the house fixed up and offered it to Bucky to stay in when he came to visit. Tony was also told he could come stay there if he wanted to get away and visit his god-children.
Steve and Natasha increased their family in 2004 when Natasha had twin daughters, Anna and Amy. After that Nataha had her tubs tied and made Steve get snipped himself. Natasha said 2 sets of twins was enough.
When James and Sarah reached pubertiy Steve and Natasha started to see them start gaining the abilities that Steve had. Steve and Natasha sat both of them down when they were 12 and explained who they were. Neither of them were surprised and explained that over the years they picked up on a thing or two. After that Steve and Natasha started training them in the training room under the barn. It was decide to train them so they would be able to control their abilities so they didn't stand out.
Clint spent as much time as he could at his farm and in March of 2002 he and Laura welcomed their first child Cooper. In 2005 the welcomed their daughter Lila.
With the help of Steve and Tony, Clint and Laura were able to purchase some cattle and set up a few pastures for them. He helped Steve turned the pasture of the farm that Steve baught into a large hay field. Between it and the two hay fields Steve already had they had enough hay to feed all their cattle and hourses plus some to sell. They built two large hay barns to hold all the hay. One at Clint's and the other at the 100 acer farm Steve and Natasha baught.
Bucky visited when he could but worked a lot on training the STRIKE teams and going on missions with Clint. He did not go on any missions with Steve and them but he was kept in the loop on what they were doing. He enjoyed seeing Steve as a father and husband. He knew how much he always wanted that.
Tony continued to be the eyes and ears of the Avengers. In 2010 Tony promoted Pepper to CEO of Stark Industries. They also finally started dating. In 2011 Pepper was introduced to the rest of the group and was fully briefed on Tony, Steve and Natasha. She became the 4th to learn the truth. After she was told Clint asked to be able to tell Laura as well. He was given permision and Laura became the 5th.
Tony did not have to worry about Obadiah. In 2005 SHIELD arrested him on weapon smuggling charges. Unfortunitly he was able to sell weapons to several groups before SHIELD was able to stop him.
Fury continued to search for Steve Rogers but was not able to find him. He had James Barnes lead the search which help keep SHIELD from finding him and Natasha who Fury was intrested in speaking with also.
With SHIELD cleaned up and all known Hydra agents routed out SHIELD was able to do a lot of good. Fury still kept a close eye out along with Phil Coulson and Maria Hill for Hydra sleepe ageants still with in SHIELD.
Even with the threat of Hydra deminished they were still a threat. That's why he OK the reseach of the Tesseract. He enlisted Dr. Erik Selvig to help study it. He was hoping to improve there weapons after encountering Thor.
S/N
Fury could't believe it the Tesseract stolen, both Barton and Selvig under Loki's control along with few other agents. He had Phil contact Barnes. He also needed to get in touch with Steve Rogers but was not sure how. He was hoping the Captain and his team would be part of the Avenger Initiative. His best chance would be Tony Stark. Even though Stark says he has no way to contact them that they just sent him the data Fury didn't full believe him.
Phil walked up to Fury who was at his station on the helocarrier. "Director. Barnes is on his way back. He says he is stopping by and letting Laura know. He says she has the right."
Fury didn't like it but he knew Barnes would not listed. "If I ordered him not to say anything?"
"He would do it any way." answered Phil.

Steve and Natasha were in the front yard watching Anna and Amy. James and Sarah were off with their friends and were not due back till late that night. Both were trying to spend as much time as they could with the kids. Both knowing that it was getting close to when the Chitauri will attack. Hopefully Clint remebered their warning. If not they would need to get ready.
They were laughing at the girl antics when they saw Laura's truck come down the drive. Both stood up and went to meet her. They were surprised to see Bucky.
"Clint got taken didn't he." stated Natasha.
"Yea. Phil contacted me and want me to head to the helocarrier. Figured I would stop by here and see if you want to give me a ride." asked Bucky.
"OK, Nat call James and tell him we need him here and to bring Sarah with him. I'll call Tony and have him pick up Banner and then come get us." ordered Steve.
S/N
Steve was sitting in the co-pilot seat as Natasha flew the Quinjet. He was thinking about them having to leave the kids. James and Sarah wanted to come. They pointed out that Tony had already had their suits and gear. They had already got to train with it. Natasha had strait out told them no that they were needed to take care of their younger sisters. James and Sarah argued back saying they didn't want to stay back and worry. Anna and Amy had been upset by Steve and Natasha leaving for a long period of time. The argument with James and Sarah didn't help. In the end James and Sarah agreed to stay. He should have kept a better eye on them. Sarah had snuck on the Quinjet and hid till it was too late to turn around and take her back.
Natasha had been furious. She stomped back to the cockpit so angery Tony left and sat in the back. Steve had went and sat by his wife. She didn't say any thing and he was worried. A silent Natasha was never a good thing.
"We got about 10 miles till we reach the helocarrier." Steve called out. "Stealth mode engaged."
"What about Sarah?" an angery Natasha asked.
"She comes with us. I rather she stay were I can see her then running around the helocarrier. Fury would try to get more information then we want him to have from her while we are gone." answered Steve.
"I don't like this Steve. She is 17. If things go close to the same she will be in danger." said a quiet Natasha.
Steve took her hand. "I know but we can't protect her forever. She has your stubborness."
Natasha glared at Steve. "Mine."
"1 mile Nat. Game time." said Steve.
Nat took the Quinjet in. The plan was to radio Fury and ask for permssion to land.
S/N
Nick Fury was not happy. He still had not heard from Barnes. He should have contacted SHIELD by now to get a ride to the helocarrier.
He was brought out of his thought when a tech called out. "Director, we have a Captain Rogers asking permition to land."
Hill looked at him from where she was standing. Fury turned to the tech and had him patch the communication to his station.
"Captain Rogers this is Director Fury. Your a hard man to find." said Fury.
"I perfer it that way. We understand you have a situation that I and my team might be able to help you out with." answered Steve.
"How is it you heard this?" replied Fury.
"Director we can sit here playing 20 questions or you can let us land. If you want to play 20 questions I'll just drop my daughter off so she can kick your ass." In the back ground Nick heard "Language" "Once she is done we will just ask Hill if she wants our help since you will be in the hospital for a while. Your choice." replied Steve with a tone that made everyone lisening take notice.
Everyone on the bridge waited to see what Fury would do. "Your cleared to land on the upper deck."
Just off the port side of the helocarrier a black Quinjet appeared. Fury watched as it moved to land on the uper fight deck. He sent Hill to bring Rogers and his party to the command deck.
S/N
Natasha landed the Quinjet after they got clearance. Turning to her Husband. "I'll drop my daugter off so she can kick your ass." said a smirking Natasha.
"It got us clearance to land." answered Steve.
When Natasha put the Quinjet down on the deck she and Steve started powering down. Sarah came up and stood behind her parents a little nervously. "Uncle Tony said we are ready."
Natasha turned towards her daughter with a cold look that had Sarah take a step back. "You will stay by your father's or my side at all times unless told other wise. You will have your suit on at all times but you wont need the head gear unless we go on a mission and we let you go. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Ma'am" replied a nervous Sarah.
Steve spoke up. "Don't say anything. You are here to learn. Don't do or say anything unless your mother and I say you can"
"Yes Sir."
The three Rogers joined the others as Tony lowered the back ramp. When the ramp was down Maria Hill was waiting for them. Steve and Natasha stepped off first followed by Tony and Sarah with Bruce and Bucky bringing up the rear.
When Steve saw Hill look Bucky's way. "When we heard we picked up Barnes since we were on our way here. Figured you wouldn't mind."
Hill wasn't sure if she believed him but there would be time for that later. She lead them to the command deck after instruckting the deck crew to secure the Quinjet.
When they arrived on the command deck Fury was standing just like he was the last time around. When Fury was done he turned towards is guest.
"You seem to have gathered quite a group. You seem to even have Banner who we lost track of several years ago and were hoping to find him to help us out, Captain. Stark, I guess I'm not surprised by you being here. But Barnes what are you doing with them?"
Steve was about to speak but Bucky spoke first. "Found him years ago but he asked that I didn't say anything. He was my Captain long before I worked for you and he deserved to live what ever life he wanted. That includes weather he wants to work with SHIELD or not."
Fury was not happy but there was nothing he could do about it right now. "I know Dr. Banner and Stark who else do you have with you?"
Steve looked at his family. "My wife Natasha and Daughter Sarah."
"So you are the one that saved Howard and Marie Stark?" asked Fury. Pretty sure she was.
"Yes" answered Natasha.
Fury had a lot of questions but they didn't have time nore was he sure he would get any answers. "OK, lets have a seat over here and I will brief you on what we know and what help we need. When this is all over I hope we can sit down and talk Captain." Steve nodded knowing it was coming.

Bruce worked to track the gamma radiation from the tesseract. He tracks it to Stuttgart. Steve, Natasha, Sarah, Stark and a SHIELD pilot set out to see if they could find the tesseract. Though Steve, Natasha and Tony knew it would be Loki. If they were lucky maybe they could get Clint also.
When they got there Loki was just starting to round up the civilians. Natasha flew low over the crowed and Steve and Sarah jumped out. Steve threw his shield hitting Loki in the chest.
Loki started standing up and Sarah's shield hit him knocking him back again.
"Loki now would be a good time to give up. If you don't things will get bad for you." ordered Steve.
Sarah had her shield ready to go again if needed. Loki stood up and look like he was going to try to blast them with the septor when Tony arrived and hit him twice as hard as Steve did.
"Reindeer games you might want to take him up on his offer." said Tony.

They were on their way back to the helocarrier when a thunder storm started forming. Steve and Tony looked at each other before getting ready for Thor. Sarah was not sure what was going on but she knew to follow her Dad's lead. They were all facing the rear of the jet when they heard a noice on the top of the jet.
"Stark drop the ramp and get ready. Sarah your behind us. If Loki tries anything hit him in the head with your shield." ordered Steve.
Both acknowleged the orders. When the ramp came down Thor landed on it and came after Loki. He threw his hammer hitting Tony knocking him in to Sarah. Steve moved between Loki and Thor.
"Not so fast Thor. Yes I know who you are. Loki is our prisoner." Steve informed Thor.
"Loki is coming with me. Step aside or I will move yo..." Thor was saying before Sarah's shield hit him in the face knocking him back.
"You heard him blondie. You want Loki you go through me." growled out Sarah.
"You have spirt young one but I am not leaving with out Loki." answered Thor.
While Steve and Sarah confronted Thor Natasha left the cockpit and worked her way behind Thor. While Thor was distracted Natasha jumped on his back and hit him with both her Widow Bits electricuting him till he dropped to his knees. Steve then came up and hit him hard on the head with his shield.
When Thor went down Steve placed restraints on Thor till they could get him back to the helocarrier were Phil could talk with him. After they got him secured Steve hugged his daughter and told her how proud he was of her. Natasha did the same.
