"Where are we?" Natasha quietly asked.
"Somewhere near Durban." Naruto answered with a shrug.
"South Africa? What are we doing here?" Natasha continued still confused about what they are doing there until she started to connect the dots.
The salvage yard in Dunbar is the base of one of the most successful black market weapon sellers, Ulysses Klaue. SHIELD can't even touch him since a lot of influential politicians in Africa and Asia avail his services.
Rumor has it that most of his income comes from a heist he did 15 years ago. SHIELD has no idea what he stole, but it can't be good based on the money trail they were able to dig up. Most of the items went towards illegal research companies, and when they raid those places, they always evacuate the materials first instead of the leaders or researchers. That alone shows how important those are.
"Are we here for Ulysses Klaue?" Natasha asked slowly, hoping that Naruto would just spell out what's going to happen. She rarely operates when she has little to no plan. It's just a recipe for disaster.
"Hey, you know him! This is going to make things a whole lot easier." Naruto exclaimed while still not getting her hint.
"Just tell me what we're going to do." Natasha finally said, getting straight to the point.
"Oh..." Naruto whispered. Natasha thought she would finally get some details until he heard his answer. "We're waiting for someone. They should be here any minute now."
Natasha is getting frustrated. The mystery works when it's part of their regular date that involves going halfway around the world for brunch in an ex-assassin's restaurant. But when it entails a slightly psychotic weapons dealer, it just isn't advisable.
They were waiting near the edge of the forest for 5 minutes when the trees rustled. The movements of the trees are becoming more pronounced until they are practically swaying violently, similar to when a helicopter is hovering overhead.
Natasha was still trying to find the source of the disturbance when she heard Naruto say in a bored tone,
"Damn. They're finally here."
Right after Naruto's statement, a trap door seemingly appeared 70m high up in the sky out of nowhere and opened. A black object rapidly dropped from it and landed 3m away from them.
Natasha stared at the object until it stood up. That's when she realized it is not an it but a he. The object is actually a man wearing a black overall with silver accents and a cat-like helmet.
Natasha's mind is in overdrive, running through her mental database, searching for anyone who has successfully built an active camouflage system and can create a super-soldier. The super soldier idea came from single evidence; the guy just dropped from 20 stories high and stood up like it was nothing.
The man walked over closer and stared at her for a moment before looking at Naruto. The solid white eyes of the helmet are slightly unsettling.
Naruto dismounted the bike without her dismounting first. She noticed that the motorcycle kept itself upright even without the stand. It just gets more amazing the more she knows about it.
But she needs to focus on the situation at hand. Natasha also dismounted the motorcycle and positioned the bike between the two probable super soldiers and her, giving her some semblance of cover while she draws her weapons. If the situation they are in turned sour, she needs to be able to respond quickly.
The man and Naruto stared at each other through their helmets. Natasha could feel the tension skyrocketing until both of them laughed hard. They removed their helmets simultaneously and hugged each other.
Natasha felt so stupid for not predicting that Naruto is already a friend to a super-soldier.
"How's the flight, and where's Okoye? I never saw you without her nearby." Naruto asked after they were done hugging.
"It was good—all clear skies. As for Okoye, she's finding a landing spot. W'kabi is with her..." The man answered, his smile dropping a little. "How about you? I see you're doing well for yourself." He said the last part while glancing at Natasha.
"Hahaha! I wish. This is our first date. Let me introduce you guys..." Naruto said with a laugh. They both walked closer to Natasha with Naruto leading. "Nat, this is the Crowned Prince T'Challa. The Black Panther protector of Wakanda. T'Challa, meet the beautiful and deadly Natasha Romanoff. The Black Widow." He introduced them with a smile and a small amount of theatrics.
Natasha removed her helmet during the introduction when she heard the man's name. T'Challa, the prince of an impoverished nation of Wakanda. Well, apparently not so impoverished if everything she says is true.
"I'm sorry about the surprise. Our friend here probably wants to give you a more exciting activity. Instead of maybe, skydiving or laser tag, he decided to bring you in a matter of national security and secret." T'Challa said with a bow, while not forgetting to send a jab to his friend.
Natasha couldn't help but smile at T'Challa's assertion. Naruto is certainly a bag of surprises.
"No problem. Naruto somehow just finds a way to turn someone's world view around." Natasha greeted back.
T'Challa gave one last bow and faced Naruto.
"I see you have finally finished your bike..." He said while checking over the Raijin. The elegant black motorcycle with burnt orange accents certainly looks intimidating. "I want to see which is faster, mine or yours. We should race when we get back."
"Nobody would be racing anyone until His Highness settles our current predicament." A voice answered from some distance away.
Everyone turned around to look at where the voice came from, and they saw a pair of man and woman walking towards them. The man is wearing a blue cape with a sword at his hips, and the bald woman is wearing red armor while carrying a spear. The woman is observing Natasha, like ascertaining if she was a threat.
"Okoye! W'kabi! What took you so long!?" Naruto asked animatedly.
"Naruto." Both greeted him with a small bow.
"Don't be like that! We're going to be a team later, so you guys need to loosen up! Isn't that right, Nat!?" Naruto let out loudly, trying to pump up Okoye and W'kabi.
"I still have no idea what we're doing, so I'm not going to weigh in on this." Natasha answered with a small shake of her head.
Naruto looked a little disappointed and looked at T'Challa for support, but he just got more dejected when he heard his answer.
"The bruises she gave me two days ago are still there—your on your own this time, my friend." T'Challa said with a smile.
"You guys suck..." Naruto answered with a pout before looking to W'kabi. "You should be the happiest of all. We're going to take down the last half of the reason why your father died." He said in a slightly serious tone.
"The last half? What are you talking about?" W'kabi asked while taking on a more dangerous tone.
"Damn. You guys have too many secrets..." Naruto whispered to himself. "Just ask your king after I get my approval, or you could just ask Klaue..." He said to W'kabi. He then retrieved two objects behind him and tossed it towards Natasha. "You might need those..." Natasha examined what Naruto tossed her and saw that it is a baton and a mask with a red hourglass. "Just flick the baton, and it'll extend to a 6 feet long electrified staff. Oh. I forgot. You also need these gloves." He handed over a pair of gloves.
"Thank you. Usually, a guy gives teddy bear or perfume, but knives and electrified staffs are good too." Natasha said with a smile.
"How you wanna do this? Loud or Quiet? Personally, I want everything to go boom." Naruto asked T'Challa while putting on an orange grinning Japanese demon mask.
"We'll go quiet first. When we got him, you can go wild. Okoye would be air support. W'kabi, go with her..." T'Challa ordered while placing his mask. W'kabi was going to disagree with his orders, but a hard glare kept him in line. "You're too close too what's going to happen, and you're not a stealthy fighter."
"And he can!?" W'kabi countered.
Naruto decided not to answer, but instead, he just slowly disappear like he is gradually getting more transparent. As soon as he was gone, everyone heard a disembodied voice coming from everywhere.
"I can be stealthy if I want too."
W'kabi shivered, slightly fearful. Natasha, on the other hand, just kept cataloging anything Naruto did and trying to make sense of what he can do. Okoye just kept stoic disposition, but the tensing of her shoulders shows that she is still affected
"That's enough demonstration Naruto. You made your point." T'Challa said while fixing his gloves.
Naruto then appeared behind W'kabi.
"Alright! Let's do this. I have one more plan for our date." Naruto declared while winking at Natasha, but she didn't see it due to the mask. Okoye pulled W'kabi towards the Royal Talon Fighter to make sure he doesn't sneak into the fight.
"Good thing I'm planning our next date. This just feels too much like work." Natasha said in a joking manner. The spontaneity of it all, although slightly discomforting, makes the whole thing more exciting.
Naruto walked towards the motorcycle and mounted it.
"You're going to have to run there, bro." Naruto said to T'Challa. Natasha immediately got the idea and rode the bike too.
T'Challa surrendered to his fate ran towards the target ship, making sure to keep himself out of sight as long as possible.
Naruto had no problem with it and shot towards the ship. They rapidly passed over T'Challa, and Natasha saw a decrepit ship guarded by men with heavy weaponry. The one thing she noticed was that Naruto is a whole lot smarter than he looks.
Naruto is using the shadows caused by the setting sun and the miniature dust storm caused by the changing winds to cover their approach. When they reached the ship, Naruto tapped her legs, indicating they need to dismount. She got off and followed by Naruto.
The great thing about the mask, Naruto can use his Shinigan to scout the whole ship. When he memorized the entire layout and hostile numbers, he disabled his eyes. He pulled Natasha close and lifted his mask.
"Tell me if you don't want to do this since I have another thing in mind we could go to." Naruto asked sincerely, making sure that Natasha is still enjoying their date.
"I have been in only one real date before..." Natasha started while lifting her mask, staring deep into Naruto's cerulean eyes. "So, I'm not an expert, but I can honestly say that I'm having more fun than I have in a long time." She finished sincerely.
Naruto couldn't help but feel a wave of attraction hit him during that moment while staring back at Natasha's green eyes.
"Motherfucker! Go for it!" Kurama's voice blasted in his mind. Naruto turned off the connection before the date started to make sure there's no distraction during the date, but the bijuu banded together for Kurama to send the message.
Naruto didn't bother arguing with Kurama and decided to follow his advise. He cupped Natasha's cheeks and gave her a chaste kiss.
Natasha recognizes the fact that setting is not ideal for the first kiss, but hell, if it doesn't feel amazing. Maybe she's a little crazy for feeling this way for someone she barely knows.
They were about to dive in for a more sensual kiss when they heard a throat being cleared behind Naruto. They both looked toward its direction and saw T'Challa leaning against the ship's haul.
"Oh. Don't mind me. Go on." T'Challa teased.
Naruto is trying to find the appropriate answer, but he just settled on how he felt.
"I hate you."
Natasha and Naruto replaced their mask and adopted a more professional personality.
"There are 155 guys on board. The target is in an office above the engine room. How would you like to do it?" Naruto reported what he saw.
"One day I'm going to find out how you always do that, but for now, me and Ms. Widow are going to start at the bottom, and you're going to the top. Everyone would take out as many as they can while keeping everyone else in the dark. When one of us captures Klaue, everyone will evacuate outside while Naruto gets a minute of fun. Any questions?" T'Challa laid out the plan. When no one spoke up, T'Challa nodded, and they separated.
Natasha finally noticed that the huge motorcycle they we're just riding on is suddenly gone, but she has no time to ponder over it since they were nearing the entrance. She also has no idea how Naruto would get up there, but after everything she knows Naruto can do, she wouldn't be surprised that he can walk on walls.
They both approached a hole in the hull, and T'Challa took a peek inside. He signed that four guys are standing guard at the entrance, and two guys are at a railing. He would take down the two guys upstairs while she would take care of the four guards.
T'Challa ran inside the entrance and jumped 6m high and pulled himself towards his targets. While the four guys below froze for a moment, Natasha rushed in and hit the first guy in the face that immediately knocked him out. She followed it up by hitting the next two guys on the torso almost simultaneously. The voltage running through the staff must have been high since the attack dropped them immediately. The final guard is taken down with a well-placed jab at the man's face.
When she was done, T'Challa is waiting for her to finish.
"I'm impressed. You're almost as good Okoye with a staff." T'Challa complimented.
The duo blitz through the ship, taking out everyone they encountered until they finally reached the office they were after. Inside is Klaue talking with someone on the phone facing away from them.
Natasha took out her gun and placed it firmly on Klaue's head, which caused him to stiffen up.
"I have to call you back. I have an incoming call..." Klaue said the other end of the line before turning it off and raising his hands slowly. "I don't know who you are, but I'm sure we can work something out." He negotiated.
"Turn around." T'Challa said.
Klaue slowly turned and saw two masked people, a man and a woman. The alarming thing was that one of those masked people is the Black Panther.
"Heh. Wakanda finally found me, huh..." Klaue said with a maniacal smile. " What are you going to do? Kill me!?"
"No. You're coming with us." T'Challa answered before placing something on Klaue's face that caused him to lost consciousness.
"You should open that shelf." Naruto's suddenly said behind them, pointing towards an empty shelf.
T'Challa nodded and pierced the wall Naruto pointed him at using his Vibranium claws. He ripped it open and saw hundreds of canisters of rock shards.
"Great, Bast. How did he take so much?" T'Challa whispered to himself before contacting the Talon Fighter.
"What are those rocks?" Natasha asked.
"Vibranium Ore." Was Naruto's only answer.
The answer to the question SHIELD was looking for is stating right at her, and it doesn't look good.

"Vibranium Ore."
Vibranium. The strongest metal on Earth. The same metal used in Captain America's indestructible shield.
According to Coulson, Howard Stark accidentally found a piece of Vibranium ore when he was traveling around Ethiopia. He studied it for a while before World War 2 came to America, and his attention completely went to helping the government. When the Captain asked for a shield, he used the Vibranium to make sure it would last as long as it can. He never expected it to be virtually indestructible.
If the laboratories they were raiding are studying Vibranium, SHIELD needs to do better against them. Who knew what would happen if they somehow finish studying the indestructible metal.
"Okoye. How much can the Talon carry?" T'Challa asked through his comms. Naruto is binding Klaue for the meantime.
"Around a ton? That should be enough, if barely. Swing around towards my position. Breach the hull in front of me. You'll understand what you would get when you see it..." T'Challa answered his comms, presumably after Okoye answered. "We're going to make our own exit. Naruto, you'll handle reinforcements; it would be loud for sure." He said towards Naruto and Natasha. Naruto nodded and walked out of the door, probably to stand guard.
After a minute, a loud impact sound can be heard from the far side of the room, and dust rushed out of the entrance. For the first time, Natasha saw the Wakandan ship.
It turned around and opened its rear door, revealing the Okoye and W'Kabi.
"Great, Bast. That's a lot of Vibranium..." Okoye said in shock. "W'Kabi, help the prince load the canisters." She ordered before walking back inside.
W'kabi walked towards the side panel, and large metal claws extended from the side of the ship. The claws grabbed hold of dozens of canisters at a time.
T'Challa tossed Klaue inside, then both of them jumped inside the ship when they heard gunshots coming from below them. Naruto must've encountered more of Klaue's forces.
Natasha and T'Challa are rolling all the canisters inside the ship to make room for more. She didn't expect that small pieces of rock are that heavy.
The moment every canister in the room are loaded T'Challa shouted,
"Naruto! One minute."
The backdoor closed, and they moved away from the ship.
"Hey! Naruto's still down there!" Natasha shouted to T'Challa.
"Don't worry about him. It's safer for us to be this far away." T'Challa answered calmly.
The Talon hovered around a kilometer away and faced the ship. Natasha could see a bright blue pulsing light is emanating from inside the boat.
Five seconds later, the whole ship is covered by a spiraling dome, grinding everything inside it to dust. The dome is producing such a powerful gust of wind that the plane they are in is experiencing strong turbulence.
Natasha realized at that moment that SHIELD wouldn't stand a chance against Naruto in a head-on fight.
"Bast. So the one he used before is not his most powerful skill." T'Challa whispered in awe.
Natasha really needs to figure out how Naruto and T'Challa met. The small snippets of conversation she heard suggest that they have some knowledge of each other's abilities.
"Hey! Let's go! I still need to ask the king!" Naruto suddenly shouted behind them.
Natasha reflexively turned around, struck him in the chest using the staff.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?" She asked immediately after she realized who she attacked.
"Wow, that hurt." Naruto said while rubbing his chest, the shirt he's wearing is a little singed.
"That's your fault too, you know! You just don't appear behind someone and expect not to be attacked." Natasha reprimanded Naruto while placing her hands to her hips.
Behind them, T'Challa and W'Kabi are placing paralyzing cuffs and a blindfold on Klaue.
"They're like an old married couple. How long have they been together again?" W'Kabi told T'Challa in a quiet voice.
"This is their first date." T'Challa answered in a deadpan voice. W'kabi looked shocked at T'Challa's statement before shaking his head and saying,
"They would be married on their third date at this rate. Who the hell thought raiding is a great idea for a date."
"Apparently, Naruto does. To be fair, he's a walking nuke, and she's a master assassin..." T'Challa answered with a shake of his head. "Just look at it this way, we got what we came for, and we retrieved the stolen vibranium." He finished before W'Kabi stood up and carried Klaue forcefully to a bar and tying him up there. They really don't want him to get away.
Naruto led Natasha to a couch at the side of the plane after a few more exchanges and sat down.
"So, are you ever going to tell me about how you and the Prince met?" Natasha asked, giving in to her curiosity.
"That's a good story. Let me set the scene. It was more than a year ago near the southwest border of Sudan or South Sudan, whatever you might want to call it..." Naruto started his story.
~Flashback Start~
Naruto just came from Khartoum, Sudan, to establish his branch of Shokugakure. He has no idea if it will even turn up a profit, but he doesn't care. He just needs a home base in Sudan.
His next destination in mind, Birnin Bashega of Wakanda. Nairobi, Kenya, would have normally been his next destination, but there's something he needs to confirm in Wakanda because there's something weird going on there.
The first thing Naruto noticed was that its complete isolation. No country would survive for thousands of years in complete isolation. Some resources are always unavailable inside a country. The fact that they primarily only export textiles and crafts and almost no import is an insane notion.
The second thing is its uninfluenced culture. He can understand if a tribe or two remained isolated and retained their original tribal culture, but a country as a whole? It's just not believable, especially if they are so close to the slave trade and western expeditions routes. Not to mention the fact that they have no reported standing armies ever since the countries formation, the surrounding states would have pounced to conquer the land, especially in the 1600s to 1800s.
For Naruto, something fishy is going on. That's why he's going there himself after the clones he sent to scout the capital reported back.
The two information he needs to confirm is the location of the Royal Family. The family would typically stay at or near the capital as it is the seat of power, but members of Royalty rarely shows up in the city. Naruto's clones found that they stay somewhere outside the city, but it's also mostly empty.
The next one is the weird movement of people. Groups of people would regularly trek towards the Wakandan jungle and return a few weeks later. Six months survey of the villages showed that there is some kind of cycle for each group to go towards the middle of nowhere. Even the caravans that are moving from village to village always travels through the forest, not around it.
That's why he's going himself to follow the people to where they are going.
Naruto was tree jumping through the forest a few kilometers away from Binin Bashega when he heard shouting and gunfire from nearby. He decided to check it out and run toward it. When he was around 100m away, he stopped on a tree branch and activated his Shinigan to watch the situation.
There's a large group of mercenaries surrounding a slave caravan. All the males are beheaded while the women and children are corralled on one side. The presumed leader of the mercs is interrogating a woman harshly.
The leader is wearing a tattered combat suit, hunter's hat, and a necklace made of teeth. He remembers his name as Mufasa. A warlord turned mercenary with a disposition for carnage. They often take the heads of their enemies as a trophy. He usually operates in southern Africa, so it's a wonder why he's this far north.
The woman, on the other hand, is wearing an assortment of green clothes. She's acting well enough for everyone else to pass as a refugee or slave but not for Naruto's eyes. Her muscle development and physiology can't be hidden from Naruto's eyes.
"I know who and what you are..." Mufasa said. "You think you're smart by sticking with refugees and slaves, but what you don't realize is that people talk. Give enough 'incentives,' and they would tell you anything..." He continued while retrieving his knife and running it all over the woman's neck. "Everyone of them said the same thing, an angel in green called a man in black and saved them from a terrible faith. I remember the stories of my childhood. The stories passed down from the ancestors, never fight the man in black..." Mufasa walked over to a girl and pulled her towards him. "I also remembered the story of a golden city hidden in Wakanda, where the man in black came from. I'm only going to ask you once, Wakandan..." He said while placing the knife on the now crying girl's neck. "Where is the Golden City?"
Nakia is in turmoil. She's a loyal War Dog of Wakanda. Her mission is to serve for the best interest of Wakanda above all others and keeping Binin Zana a secret. She hardened herself, believing the girl would die today.
But Bast seems to give her a gift.
Death wails of mercenaries echoed around the outer perimeter. Mufasa's men are dropping left and right, and he can't even see it.
Mufasa tossed the girl aside, took his gun, and scanned his surroundings, trying to find the man that's been taking out his man.
"I know you're there!" Mufasa shouted before he shot Nakia in the kidney. He grabbed her and pointed his gun at her temple. "Show yourself, or I swear to God I'm going to blow her head out! You got three seconds! 3! 2!"
That's when a man in a black suit showed himself.
T'Challa has just been appointed as the new Black Panther a month ago after his father decided that he's not fit enough to be the Panther. An hour ago, an emergency transmission came from Nakia's Kimoyo Beads. He immediately took a Dragon Flyer and set out to help her.
When he got to the location, he saw a gruesome sight. Bodies are piled up on the side of the road while the heads are in the back of an assault jeep. He took out the outer perimeter guard working inside.
T'Challa got spotted by one of the inner guards, and all hell broke loose. Rookie mistake. Now he's in front of a mad man with his love rapidly bleeding out, not sure if he can get to him first without him pulling the trigger.
"Ah. The man in black. The protector of Wakanda..." Mufasa theatrically said. "The Black Panther. Maybe you can answer where the Golden City is?"
T'Challa was now in the same position as Nakia a few minutes ago, but he doesn't have the same determination to let Nakia die.
"Don't tell him." Nakia forced out. She's getting weaker and paler as time goes on.
"I'm sorry. I can't do that, Nakia..." T'Challa answered. He faced Mufasa. "The Binin Zara is in." He never got to finish his sentence since a stone pillar suddenly impaled Mufasa.
T'Challa was surprised by the suddenness of the man's death. He looked around and saw that all the remaining mercenaries are suddenly impaled.
"You should help her before she keels over." A voice said out of nowhere.
T'Challa looked back to Nakia and saw her starting fall. He ran toward her and caught her.
"I got you. You're going to be okay." He said while checking Nakia's wound. It's a through and through. He took a Kimoyo bead from his and Nakia's to plug the entrance and exit wounds. It stabilizes her condition momentarily, but she just lost too much blood. She might not make it back to Wakanda for treatment. He's feeling the weight of the situation when a hooded guy walked over to him and crunched down in front of him.
"You need help, man?" The same voice that told him to catch Nakia came from the man. "Come on. Just nod if you need help..." The man said in a calm voice. T'Challa nodded. He would do just about anything to save Nakia right now. "Alright. Lay her on the ground and move three steps back..." T'Challa was hesitant to leave Nakia's side, but he knows he can't do anything now. Naruto did a single hand sign and placed his now glowing white hands-on Nakia's abdomen. "Fair warning. I have almost zero medical knowledge. I'm just boosting her resilience. So yeah."
T'Challa almost lunged at the guy, but he can't do any better right now. A few minutes of waiting, and he finally took a sigh of relief. Nakia's color returned slowly, and she slowly opened his eyes.
"Glad that worked, huh." Naruto said to T'Challa after he walked some distance back.
T'Challa rushed over towards Nakia and held her in his arms. He removed his helmet and checked her over.
"Thank you. Thank you very much..." T'Challa said in gratitude towards Naruto. He extended his hand towards Naruto. "I'm T'Challa. Crowned Prince of Wakanda, and I'm in your debt."
The man removed his hood, revealing a young blonde man. The man took his hand and shook it.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki..." The now named Naruto introduced himself with a wide smile. "Freelance contractor and I'm lost."
~Flashback End~
"...we talked for a while, and he gave me a communicator. That's how we kept in touch. I did some job for him and worked together from time to time. I also snuck in Binin Zana to leave some packages for him." Naruto ended his story.
"Baba is slowly losing his mind trying to find the intruder that keeps on leaving him a package. I only told him about Naruto this morning when he received a package with Klaue's picture. The price was a meeting and considerations for his request." T'Challa interjected with a chuckle.
"We're now approaching Wakanda." Okoye announced.
"You're going to want to see this." Naruto whispered at Natasha's ear. She looked out the front window and saw a mountain rapidly getting closer. She was getting nervous, but Naruto just held her hand and calmed her down.
The moment she thought they were going to hit the mountain, the plane passed through some kind of barrier and saw one of the most beautiful sights she had ever seen.
"Welcome to Binin Zana. The Golden City. True Capital of Wakanda." T'Challa declared.
-Clint's Homestead, Missouri-
-January 29, 2007, 1500h local-
Clint burst through the door and rushed up the stairs. He went straight towards the master bedroom and saw Laura sweating profusely.
"Hun, The Johnsons just went into labor before you. The midwife won't be able to come until after she's done." Clint quickly said, clearly out of breath.
This kind of moment magnifies their living situation. Living partially off the grid would remove some comforts that people take for granted, like going to a hospital.
"Clint. Take a breath and find the birthing binder. You're going to help me through this." Laura said between contractions.
"I can take you on the jet and take you to SHIELD HQ." Clint suggested.
Clint Barton is usually calm and collected, but when the life of his wife and unborn child is on the line, the gloves are off.
"No time, babe. My contractions are 3 minutes apart and 60 seconds long. We're not going to make it..." Laura asserted. "You. Need. To. Do it."
Clint nodded and ran down the stairs to retrieve the binder, including some ice chips. He checked on Lila, watching cartoons in her room before going back to the master bedroom.
"Breathe, Love. You can do it." Laura reassured.
Clint opened the binder and read through it.
