“I’ll get it!”
The door to a secluded Missouri farmhouse flies open.
“Hey, kiddo.”
“Auntie Nat!” Lila shrieks and jumps up, trusting Nat to catch her. She does, and she carries Lila on her hip into the house. She doesn’t even flinch when Lila screeches right beside her ear, “Mommy! Daddy! Auntie Nat is here!”
Clint melts out of the woodwork. “Everything copacetic?”
Nat shrugs with the arm not holding up Lila. “You watch the news.”
Clint nods. Not that he and Laura found out about SHIELD being Hydra from the news.
“I’ll thaw another steak,” he says. “C’mon in.”
