I like Tony’s headcanon better
Yeah well it doesn’t belong on cute gifset abouts the Barton Family.
They are agents, though. Lila and Cooper. Nick had to invent a whole new classification level for people who are not allowed any dangerous information but also do not have any information available to anyone in the system but also seem to have an awful lot of access to secret places on secret bases.
Their badges don’t have photographs- kids grow too fast for those to be useful anyway- but rather crayon self-portraits they made that Laura scanned in and sent to Nick to use for this very purpose.
Clint’s got two SHIELD ID badges, one with a photo and one with a picture his kids drew of him. The one from his kids actually has higher clearance.
OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME NOW I WANT ALL THE FIC ABOUT BARTON FAMILY: SUPERSPIES.
They’re direct reports to Nick Fury, who’s given them a lot of REALLY IMPORTANT MISSIONS. Like figuring out what restaurant in Manhattan has the best hot chocolate. Or discovering what their dad got Uncle Nick for Christmas. It’s a lot of responsibility but Lila and Cooper are up to the task.
(Nat’s not yet, but give him time. Uncle Nick says he can’t go on missions until he can support his own head, which seems fair.)
(”I’m not even a direct report to Fury,” Clint complains. “I’m an Avenger and my six-year-old has more access to the head of SHIELD than I do.” “I know, honey,” Laura says, but he can tell she’s just humoring him. Clint sulks and gives Lucky extra headscritches because at least the dog acts like he’s his favorite.)
