The Avengers crowded around the child.
“Should we…wake him?” Clint asked finally.
Steve shot him a look. “This child just went through a traumatic event. In my experience we should let him rest as long as possible.”
Clint rolled his eyes. “Ever since you adopted that kid…”
Natasha hit his arm. “We should get him back to base.”
“We have a base?” Tony asked, amused.
“The helicarrier,” Natasha corrected herself.
Before Tony could respond, Steve sighed. “If we could focus?”
Tony looked at the boy. “Who wants to carry him?”
The boy made a noise, rubbed his head and sat up. He blinked at the four superheros standing around him. “Ah…?”
Steve knelt down next to him. ‘Hey.”
“Hey?” He looked around. “What happened?” He blinked his brown eyes again.
“There was an explosion,” Steve explained softly, making sure to keep eye contact.
The boy frowned at the wreckage. “Oh.”
Natasha lent down too. “Do you know where your parents are?”
The boy’s eyes widened and he shook his head. “Gone.”
“Gone?” Steve echoed.
The boy looked down in shame. His eyes began to water.
Steve put a hand on his shoulder. “It’s okay,” he told him. “Can you walk?”
The boy nodded and jumped up.
Steve gave him a smile and a nod. “Good job.”

“So, what’s the verdict?” Clint asked, sneaking up to kiss his lover on the cheek.
Coulson shot him a smile, before looking back through the glass, where the medical team was doing a check-up on the survivor. “Nothing yet.” He shook his head and turned away to face the computer system. “Nothing on any front,” he added. “No salvageable tech. Hydra knows what it’s doing.”
“Which is probably how it survived so long,” Tony pointed out from the other side of the room.
“Cut off one head,” Natasha murmured.
“Two more grow back, yes.” Coulson finished.
From the table, Bruce sighed. “It would’ve been nice to have got something.”
Steve nodded. “But unfortunately Hydra isn’t exactly nice.”
“We saved the kid,” Tony offered. “That’s something.”
“How do we know the kid isn’t a Hydra spy?” Clint asked. “He got out of there without a scratch.”
“In my experience, the best agents are children,” Natasha added.
Steve frowned. “Let’s wait till the lab comes back before we start vilifying innocent children.”
“Possibly innocent children,” Tony chimed back.
Steve sighed. “Let’s wait till the lab comes back before we start vilifying potentially innocent children,” he corrected himself with a glare at Tony.
Tony smiled. “Just trying to keep it factual.”
Steve scoffed.
Bruce made a noise. “So this was all for nothing.”
“Except the child,” Phil pointed out.
“Who may or may not be a spy.”
“I don’t see what you’re complaining about.” Tony cut in. “You got to stay here and watch.”
Before Bruce could retort, Natasha added. “I’m not so sure the kid is a spy.”
“You just said-” Tony began.
“But he’s uninjured.” Natasha said, beginning to pace. “If you want a spy to be successful, you make him blend in. You don’t put them in a bombsite without any wounds, as that would only cause suspicion.”
“Maybe they were being humane?” Bruce said. “The kid’s what? Ten?”
Natasha and Steve swapped looks and Steve shook his head. “Hydra wouldn’t care about that. It is odd…”
“Maybe it’s reverse psychology?” Tony offered. “Make us think it’s so suspicious that we trust it because it’s too obvious?”
Natasha bit her lip. “But why do that unless they were sure we’d have doubts anyway? If the kid had just been there…” She shook her head. “Coulson’s right. We should wait for the lab.”
“So the next question is… What do we do with him if he’s clean?” Tony reminded them.
Phil frowned. “SHIELD will take care of it.”
“Then we have no more obligations?” Steve asked. “I don’t know, it seems…”
“Wrong?” Clint offered.
“He was a bit clingy.” Tony informed Coulson. “Poor kid.”
“We can take care of him,” Phil consoled them.
Steve nodded but pulled a face.
“It’s cos of that kid,” Clint complained again. “Ever since he adopted Peter…”
Steve gave him a look.
“No he’s always been this good,” Tony told them.
Steve’s scowl deepened. “I’m just worried.”
“What if he’s dirty?” Bruce interrupted. “Why haven’t we talked about that yet?”
Phil swapped looks with Natasha. “SHIELD will take care of it.”
Instantly the non-SHIELD agents froze and looked fearfully at the agent.
Phil held up a hand. “I promise we’ll be… humane.”
Clint gave them his winning smile. “Come on, would we do anything bad? We’re the good guys!”
Natasha remained silent.
The tension was broken when the doctors through the glass window stopped their movement.
“I think they’ve found something,” Bruce commented dryly, as they went through a flurry of activity.
The group moved towards the window. The doctors had definitely found something.
“Any idea what?” Tony asked.
Bruce shook his head. “Not without getting closer.”
“They’ll let us know when they’ve confirmed it.” Coulson said, as unfazed as ever.
Tony shot him a look. “But will you tell us?”
Coulson didn’t respond.
They watched as one doctor raced out of the room, succeeded by the door to their room opening.
The doctor panted slightly.
“Report,” Coulson commanded.
“The boy,” the doctor said. “He’s a mutant!”

Tony and Steve have adopted a cute little boy named Peter.

Phil and Clint have adopted a troublesome mutant named Wade.

Wade can't help that he's fallen for his childhood friend. Peter can't help that Wade is actually pretty amusing.

If only their parents saw it that way.

So sorry for the long delay guys!

Yeah, I ended up burning my hand four weeks ago (second degree burn yay!) and it blistered and everything and it wasn't pretty. Then I had uni assignments so.. yeah. Sorry. I only have one exam left, so I'll be able to keep up some semblance of continuity after that.

Anyway,enjoy!!
