After our talk in the kitchen, Laura showed me to the bathroom and gave me an extra toothbrush.

"Oh, uhm, we're a little short on beds." Laura said and stopped at the door frame. "Do you mind sleeping in Lila's room with her? She was asking for a sleepover."

"Ya, no problem. I'd love a girls night with her." I told her, especially since I knew we wouldn't be staying that long.

"Ok," Laura smiled. "If she becomes too much, we can always have her sleep in our room with us." She said.

"Don't worry about it." I laughed. "It'll be practice for the future." I told her and placed a hand on my stomach. "I do need a nap, though." I chuckled.

"Alright," Laura nodded. "I'll get you a pillow and some blankets." She told me.

When she left, I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower before putting on the same clothes. Laura set me up on the couch since Lila was having a Barbie tea party in her room.

I laid down and my body immediately sunk into the soft blanket and couch. All the aches from the day became more noticeable. I groaned softly as I started drifting off. Soon, the soft laughter of Lila up in her room, and the clinking of Laura making lunch, faded away.

"You can wake up any day now, Ms. Smith." A loud voice spoke.

I sighed as my consciousness came back to me. I was still on the couch, wrapped up in the warm blanket, but it was now much darker outside. I must have slept a little more than I intended too, because, when I looked around, I saw Fury standing with everyone as they brought dinner to the table.

"Fury." I smiled sleepily. "You son of a bitch. How have you been?" I asked as I stretched and stood up.

"Good to see you, too." Fury scoffed lightheartedly and shook his head at me.

"Hey, language." Steve told me. "There are little ears around."

I laughed, but held my hands up in surrender because he was right.

"Sorry." I chuckled.

"You slept for a really long time, Skydive." Tony commented. "You feel ok?" He asked. I quickly glanced at Laura, as she did the same, before turning back to Tony and nodding.

"Ya, uhm, I just used a lot of energy while fighting and needed to recharge." I explained.

"Maybe we should get you a battery pack." Clint teased. I smiled and rolled my eyes at him.

"Maybe we should roll you in bubble wrap with how many times I keep saving your ass." I teased back.

"Sammee..." Steve warned.

"Oop- sorry. Little ears." I apologized even though everyone was smiling and having a good time.

"Alright, you kids." Laura joined in on the teasing. "Sit down and eat before your food gets cold."

We did what she said because none of us would ever argue with the woman of the house. We sat and ate before playing a little game. I had picked up a bread roll and threw it at Nat as soon as Steve turned away to talk to Tony. It hit her in the chest and fell into her lap. She looked at the bread before picking it up and looking at me like I was crazy.

'Keep it going.' I signed to her. 'But don't let Steve catch you.' That's when she understood the game and smirked at me.

We wanted to see just how many people we could get to play before Steve caught us. Eventually, we got everyone. All through dinner we passed the bread to different people when Steve turned to talk to someone. We even had to purposely start a conversation with Steve just to get him to turn his head away from whoever had the bread.

By the end of dinner, Tony got stuck with the bread.

"Tony lost!" I announced as I stood up to help with dishes.

"That is completely unfair." He protested when he stood up.

"You got stuck with the bread, so you lose." I told him.

"That's the game." Clint shrugged.

"Well, I was never told the rules." Tony argued.

"What are we talking about?" Steve asked making us all laugh at his look of confusion.

"Alright, let's talk business." Fury said getting serious.

"Honey, could you take the kids into the other room, please? We'll clean up." Clint asked Laura.

"Sure." She smiled and ushered the kids out. Fury and I went to the sink and I washed while Fury dried the dishes.

"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time." Fury started once I was done washing. "My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing." He explained.

While he spoke, Lila ran into the dining room to show Natasha a picture she painted. I watched as Nat's face went from 'hard, badass, assassin,' to 'sweet, loving, aunt'. I smiled at them before Lila looked up and ran over to me next.

"What about Ultron himself?" Steve asked as I bent down to see what Lila wanted to show me. I thought it was going to be a butterfly, like what they showed in the movie, but it wasn't.

It was a picture she painted of her family with the addition of Nat and me. I smiled at the painting and whispered how good it was as I hugged her little waist. Laura soon waved her back into the living room and I rejoined the conversation.

"Oh, he's easy to track. He's everywhere." Fury said about Ultron. "The guys multiplying faster than a catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans, though."

"Is he still going after launch codes?" Tony asked and threw a dart at the dart board.

"Yes, he is. But he's not making any headway." Fury explained.

"J.A.R.V.I.S." I said.

"J.A.R.V.I.S.?" Steve asked.

"Ya, remember when I said he escaped through the internet, just like Ultron did? He's changing the launch codes. Ultron can't get his slimy, cyber, hands on the missiles because of J.A.R.V.I.S." I explained.

"So, his protocols are still intact." Tony stated just before a dart flew right past his face. I teleported in front of the board and caught the dart centimeters from the bullseye. Tony and I both glanced at Clint who playfully frowned at me for ruining his perfect shot.

"Tony, you need to visit Oslo, find J.A.R.V.I.S. He's in there somewhere, but he's running on protocol only." I told Tony and handed him the dart.

"Yay, me." He sarcastically cheered.

"Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that." Natasha said to Fury.

"I do." Fury responded. "I have you. And you have her." Fury said and pointed to me. "Back in the day I had eyes everywhere. Ears, everywhere else. You kids had all the tech you could dream up." Fury told us and walked closer to the dinning table. "Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit and our will to save the world. Ultron says the Avengers are the only thing between him and his mission. And wether or not he admits it, his mission is global destruction." Fury continued. "All this, laid in a grave." He said and looked around the room to make his point. "So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard." He told us as he sat.

"Steve doesn't like that kind of talk." Nat teased.

"You know what, Romanoff?" Steve said back as she smirked at him.

"Never goin away, Cap." I told him and pat his shoulder.

"So, what does he want?" Fury asked to get our attention back on the problem.

"He wants a body." I said and leaned against the opposite side of the entryway from Steve.

"A body..." Bruce mumbled.

"A human body?" Steve asked.

"The human form is inefficient. Biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it." Tony commented.

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed." Natasha said as she looked between Tony and Bruce.

"He doesn't want to protect us, he's made that clear." I explained to try and help Bruce's thinking along.

"He wants to evolve..." Bruce mumbled.

"And that's why you're my favorite scientist." I said loudly.

"How?" Fury asked, ignoring my comment.

"Helen Cho... has anyone been in contact with her?" Bruce asked.

"No," I told him. "Because Ultron already has her."

"Shit!" Tony swore.

"He stole the vibranium to make himself a body. The vibranium binds to the cells and makes them stronger." I explained. "Like I said, the most versatile substance on the planet."
