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.)
My desire to fight anyone who erases Laura Barton and the Barton Babies for their ship (or well any reason but especially ships) is so strong.
Clint was with his family in Cap 2 and afterwards Nick Fury recuperated there because he’s very close with the family like in Ults where the family comes from (SLJ says so in an interview too)
The kids bought Auntie Nat the arrow necklace with Laura’s help as a Christmas gift one year for luck since she’s their daddy’s partner and best friend.
Lila was born early while they were in Budapest and that’s why Clint can’t remember it correctly because he was so worried about Lila and Laura.
Laura was Nat’s first real female friend because Clint took her home with him right after her probationary period and introduced her to Laura and the then tiny baby Cooper. The fact that he trusted her around his wife and child is what finally convinced her that Clint was the real deal and liked her for her. Laura was so kind to her and had no motives as a civilian and just liked her and wanted to be her friend w/o strings and that’s how Nat learned to do friendship.
Laura and Nat try to have ladies nights once a month (kids & spying willing) where they either stay in and drink wine and watch bad movies or go out dancing or to a spa in the city.
IMAGINE THE AVENGERS SHOWING PIETRO THE ROADRUNNER CARTOONS AND FOR THE NEXT MONTH WHENEVER PIETRO RACES AROUND THE AVENGERS HQ HE PAUSES NEXT TO WANDA JUST LONG ENOUGH TO WHISPER “beep beep” AND GIGGLE AND DASH AWAY
AND EVEN AFTER HE STOPS DOING THAT IT BECOMES A RECURRING JOKE FOR THE AVENGERS AND DURING MISSIONS WHEN HE SPEEDS BY THE OTHERS TO KNOCK OUT ENEMIES AND THERE’S A MOMENT OF STILLNESS AND THEY ALL WHISPER “beep beep”
There is no word to describe my love for this post.
Natalia Peggy Rogers, you are named after the two bravest, strongest, independent women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Tony Clint Bruce Thor Rogers, I am so sorry your uncles got hold of your birth certificate before me.
