For the past couple of days Francis had been bed ridden thanks to his injuries but obviously as the rebellious side he had refused to stay down all day. That was just not his style, but he payed the price as he had been threatened by a Dark Avenger. The very team that his uncle had been apart on and had been so hard on him in the past. Kidnapping and threatening were both things that he would not tolerate, he knew at least now that his uncle wasn't going to try something like kidnapping again when they had come in to take him and take on the other Avengers. Francis had hobbled his way back to the luxury floor of where he could rest for awhile.
It didn't seem to be that active as far as he could tell. The tohers must have been busy working on rebuilding or had classes that they had to worry about if anything. He had been able to be out of classes with his leg for some time but he knew that homework was not an option to skip in this case. He had several books with him that he was supposed to read for some of his classes and he wasn't the biggest fan to when it came to reading. But he figured now would be a good time to do it. Francis got up on one of the couches and put his wounded leg in a comfortable position as he managed to get it where it wouldn't hurt him for awhile. It had been all wrapped up and bandaged from the people in the ER.
But then a thought came to his head as he realized none of the Avengers had seen Neila. He knew she was still on her mission to find the girl that they had rescued. He wondered if she had been successful at this point and was returning back home. He desperately hoped that Neila had avoided trouble, sometimes trouble found the two so easily it wasn't even funny. It was like their middle name or something. "Neila will be fine. Stop worrying." He said to himself as he remembered their plans. He had yet to tell his father that he had been dating a girl for some time. He just wondered how his father would react to that. The problem that had been with his father was, he had always been busy. Between the Avengers and SHIELD, he wondered when there really was any time with him and his family. Either that or he...no, he didn't want to think that. There was no way that Clint didn't care about him. It just didn't make any sense to him that'd be the case. Sure he had a difficult family relationship but he had always cared about his parents, and they did too in their own ways.

Mean while Neila had just gotten of the ship, she could not be hipper to back on New York soil and off the sea. Being around all that water... Now she had to hoof it back to the Avengers. Heh never was her first choice but she had a message to deliver and she wanted to see Francis again, A friendly face would be nice to see after going to Magneto's island.. " Hmm I may have to ask Tony for like high tech skates or something... Would be a lot faster then running.."" Neila said with a annoyed sigh. It took a little bit but Neila made to the Avengers building, though slightly winded. " Haaah.... Here we are... Hey Jarvis is me open up will ya?" Neila said a she walked up to the door.

"Good afternoon Neila. And welcome back. You can find Francis on the top floor. so I'd imagine the elevators will be the best choice." Jarvis said he didn't know if Neila knew of what happened in the Avengers while she had been gone. But obviously noticed that there must have been some changes around there since she had last been at the Tower.The doors opened and Neila could get in. And on the other side Francis had been alerted which had been a great relief for him. "Neila!" Francis said as he was showing a bit more excitement for the day. he wasn't about to climb down seventy floors in order to get his leg into more trouble because that was going to be bad news for him.

The top floor really??? Neila gave a annoyed sigh and shook her head. " Top floor really??" I just like ran over the city to get here...Ugh..." Neila said a she then entered the building, though as soon as she did she felt uneasy. As she still clearly remembered when Tony locked her up. One of the reasons she never really came to visit.. As she was still sore about that. As she went to the elevators Neila did notice something odd about the building. Like the place had been trashed and now they where rebuilding... What happened while she was gone?" Ok Jarvis spill... What happened while I was gone?" Neila said a she entered the elevator and started to make her way up to the top floor.

"A large percent of the building is currently under rennivations due to an attack that happened while you were gone, Neila. Mr. Stark is currently doing repairs on it as we speak. Several of the Avengers were injured in the attack such as...Francis." Jarvis said as he spoke Francis' name. He knew that he and Neila had been together for some time. This was probably going to make Neila upset in more than one way and the wrath or anger would come out sooner or later. He just couldn't do too much about it unless Tony said so.

"WHAT!!!!!" Neila yelled at the computer. Great just great she was gone for a few days and she comes back to learn the building was attacked and of course Francis had gotten hurt. Dammit why must bad things always happen?? " Oh gee gone for a few days and this happens.. And here I thought Tony had the state of the art stuff! He should have seen it coming!" Neila said not knowing what had happened and who had attacked. The elevator came to a stop, when they opened Neila stepped out to see Francis and saw that his leg was hurt.. Just what in the world happened? " I see there was party.. To bad I was not invited...." Neila said a she walked over to Francis. She then stared at him before reaching out and giving him a hug. "I;m just glad you are ok." Neila said as she hugged Francis.

Francis had expected some anger from Neila and he'd probably get more later on as he looked up to see her and smiled back. He received the hug and returned it to her. "Neila to be honest, I'm kind of glad that you weren't here. You see we were attacked by the Phoenix Force. It's something so powerful I would hope that strong mutants would be able to come in and defend or attack. It was just that bad." francis said as he looked down at his leg seeing that he could still barely put any weight on it. "As for my leg, it was pretty beat up as several pieces of metal fell on top of it. Ironman and the others managed to get me out of the situation before it was getting worse." Francis said giving his explanation on what happened as briefly as he could. He guessed that Neila wouldn't want details about how bad it was, she could just see for herself by looking around the rooms to see all the damage that had been done.

" The whatta hoodie whattie? " Neila said a she then pulled away a she then got a better look at Francis spoke more of his leg and what happened. She then frowned and crossed her arms as she heard the nutshell of a story. " Never mind I don't wanna know... Anyway that mission you sent me on. Pearl Anderson is alive and well and in on Magneto's island. So you can tell Rose she is ok... Wait... Its Rose ok she was not hurt in anyway was she? It would suck to go all the way out there just to return to hear Rose is dead or badly hurt..." Neila said and hoped nothing had happened to Rose.

"Well that's some good news to hear out of this bad news that we've been getting. I can tell Rose the next time I see her and as well as Tony." Francis said as he realized that Neila hadn't understood what had happened in the past few days. It was probably better off that she hadn't seen it at all. Francis was at least relieved for that. She wouldn't have to see him in all the pain that he had been in. "I'm pretty sure Rose was lucky that she didn't have too many injuries from the attack, Maybe a few bruises but nothing like mine." Francis assured her. After a bit of standing on his leg he decided it was time to sit back down again on the couch being that he knew that one of the adults would yell at him for hobbling on it.

"WHOOP WHOOP PARENTAL UNTIL APPROACHING WHOOP WHOOP!"
Clint Barton made his entrance in a typical Clint Barton way. As loud as possible.
"You know Franics, I don't mind you picking up the bow and following in my footsteps and all that, but I'm sure your mother would object to the falling off of rooftops legacy." he, approaching his song. Giving him a quick hug, Clint smiled at the good. "So spill the beans, how did this happen, and who do I have to stick a ton of SHIELD agent on. I'm not opposed to dropping a Hulk on em too...."
It was then Clint noticed there was another person in the room. He smirked, then smiled at his son. "Well either Stark's tastes in nurses has gotten stranger, or I assume this is a team mate of your's." Clint walked up to the girl and extended his hand out to her. "Clint Barton. Agent of SHIELD, O.G, Hawkeye, Francis' old man if you haven't figured that out by now." he said, introducing himself to her.

Upon hearing that Rose was fine Neila gave a small smile and nodded. Good, she was glad Rose was not hurt and was willing to stick around to tell Rose in person about her sister. After all it was a long trip so she deserved that much. " That is good to hear, well I guess I can stick around long enough to tell her in person her sister is alive." Neila said. Though then a new voice entered, casing Neila to jump a little as she formed a fire ball ready to throw it. Mostly out of habit for on the streets when that happened it meant surprise attack of some sort. Though Neila knew this weirdo must be a team mate of some sort and let her flame die down. Though what he said next made her eyes grow wide. Wait what!?? Francis's Dad?? Awww crap.... Was all Neila could think. When he made a joke about Tony's taste in nurses Neila rolled her eyes and just stared at Clint when he offered his hand for a handshake. "Hi... I'm Neila... And no I'm not a part of any team... " she said clearly not very thrilled he showed out of now where... She knew it was a matter of time she was going to meet Francis's parents but she was not excepting it to like this... Ugh great just great....

"Yes you can. I imagine you have your own things to do by now." Francis agreed as he looked back at her. Well there was something that made him jump pretty badly. The last thing he had expected was his father to roll in. Then again when he brought up the mentioning of tony he wasn't surprised if Tony had told him about his injury. Tony knew a lot of what was going on in the Tower. Well he kind of had too since he was the owner of Stark Industries.
Wasn't he a bit old for hugs? Well apparently not in his father's mind as he tried to squirm out of it but before he got the chance Clint let go to give him some room again. Ok maybe he was just being a bit embarrassed with the sudden entry. He had wanted to set up a time with his father to meet him but it looked like that wasn't going to happen. "Dad this is my girlfriend. We've known each other for awhile now, I just didn't know when a good time for you to meet her was." Francis said as he looked back at his father. "And no I hadn't fallen off a roof top. It was more like having a couple of thousand pounds pieces of metal fall on you. He had to admit that it was pretty scary.
However he shook his head when he heard his father ask who had done this to him. "No dad, I don't want you to go after them. The person who did this was someone on the team. I think it was more of a freak accident and me being in the wrong place at the wrong time." Francis said not wanting to give out a name due to protecting her. Hope Summers had been a friend of his for some time, and since the incident he hadn't seen her since.

Clint raised an eyebrow when Neila denied her link to the Avengers.
"Oh so this is...." Clint started to say before Francis cut him off. A girlfriend! Good for him.
"Huh. Well it's nice to meet you Neila. Glad to know you're keeping an eye out on my boy." he said, patting him on the back. "And don't think that offer only relates to Francis, you need help with something, let me know. And Francis, there's never NOT a good time to set up an arrangement/humblebrag session when it comes to girlfriends" he said,unable to not tease the boy a bit, making a note to hand her his card before he left.
"And ooh. A team related injury huh? I can relate. Wanda once killed me. It sucked, I recommend not doing it, it's super overrated and kinda painful." Clint said, referring to a meltdown that nearly shut the Avengers down good. "But don't think I'm not going to look into this. An Avenger on Avenger fight is something SHIELD is going to want to know about, and trust me, it's better you tell me than have Fury and Hill on your back." Clint warned the pair.
If there was one thing Clint knew it was how scary SHIELD could be when it came to wanting intel. Granted they didn't have as many psychics on staff as the X-men did, Francis wasn't a meta-level superhuman. He could be read like a book if need be. "But how you doing otherwise? I know we've all been busy, or still you should have told me you busted your leg. Hell Stark should have too come to think of it..." Clint added, not exactly thrilled that his former teammates kept him in the dark about this whole ordeal.
