25 Unicorn Street- Saturday

[throughaphase]

While Clint was in his office, Kitty was entertaining Barney at the house. Which she was totally fine with, since they got along and it always gave them an opportunity to talk about Clint stuff. There was no bad there.

"So how are things in New York?" she asked, taking a seat on the couch.

[For anyone named Barton!]

"Fine," Barney said, sticking his head in the fridge to see what Clint had in there. Things that were clearly Kitty's, he'd leave alone, but his brother's food was fair game - assuming he had any. "The tenants are weird, the city is weirder. How are things here?"

"Just remember, if you ever want out, I know two dozen places to hide you," Barney said, at least halfway teasing.

"And this is why you're an awesome future brother-in-law," Kitty said, partly to see if that would freak him out.

It's definitely weird to consider, but it's not a bad weird since Kitty is, well, pretty damn awesome herself. "I'll try," he said, hoping that was enough. "That reminds me, are you planning on changing your name, or leaving it? Or making Clint take yours?" he asked with a laugh.

"I don't really see him going for that," she laughed. "I'm kind of leaning towards hyphenating. I was going to leave it, but I want to have the same name as our kids." Which was a weird thing to be talking about with someone who wasn't Clint.

Sorry Kitty, but it was just weird in general. "You're not seriously considering bring a child into the world with Barton genes?" he asked. "You didn't see what Clint was like as a kid. You might end up with the most sarcastic child alive."

Actually she had seen Clint as a kid, but since she didn't always know what Barney had been told about this place she'd let it slide. "It'd probably be karmic payback for being super mouthy myself. It might lead to some interesting parent-teacher meetings."
