I like to think of them as OUR arrows

It wasn't a big deal. She shouldn't be making a big deal about it, Kate knew it.

And yet here she was. Having barely slept despite of how they promised they would rest after they were done patrolling. Matt had pulled the gentleman move, running through those rooftops and making sure she made it home safely. Was he a little flustered, too? He gave Lucky a late night greet. Was Matt smiling a little too much? Not that there was such thing...

Kate noticed it, though. He wasn't as serious as he seemed whenever they mentally prepared for a mission. And it wasn't wrong to feel a little excited over the fact that they were going to spend a few days in a spa retreat by a beach, pretending to be a couple while gathering intel. As far as missions go? This one could be a real fun one.
 
Kate had not been able to sleep, not even after a couple of hours long drive. Here she was, wearing a bob shaped red wig and more makeup than she'd ever had on her face, with a big rock on her finger as a fake engagement ring. The fake wedding bands? They were the elephant in the room, still in Matt's pocket.

"So... Kitty and Michael?" She tried, aware that they didn't have much longer to workshop the last details.

Honestly, Kate figured that flying with a pony would have been way harder than it turned out to be. But between Matt's first class charm put to full power and everyone at the airport being captivated by Frodo? Despite of how their trip to Ohio had started at an ungodly early hour, it also seemed to be the beginning of one of the most pleasant of adventures.

It was a short flight, one in which Kate shamelessly claimed Matt's shoulder as her own personal pillow. Obviously, they were on first class, but domestic flight seats were definitely not as roomy as international were. But it was comfortable enough for Kate to still feel pretty refreshed once they made it back down to land. In Ohio, a car with a trailer to carry Frodo was already waiting, taking him for a drive that took at least another hours before they made it to Clint's farm. 

On their way, Kate described Matt everything that she saw. The crops, so tall they would probably be completely lost in them if they decided to make their way through them byt feet. A land full of greens on all kinds of shades. Horses grazing afar, sheep with  their growing lambs. The sun was bright and Kate could tell it would become even warmer as hours passed.

She was so excited to finally see Clint and his family again. 

The green land was interrupted by a path of dirth that lead to Clint's house, a three-stories home of that looked like something straight out of the fantasies of anyone who might have ever dreamed about living in the countryside. As they approeached, Kate leaned over Matt to see better through his window, spotting the tractor and Clint's van in the distance. The ducks near the pond.. You could tell this was a family home, as on their way to the house there was toys scattered all around. Bikes, footballs, dolls and a swing made with a tire.

Finally, by the house, Kate spotted Laura. She was filling some buckets of water with a hose, looking in their direction as she held a hand over her eyes, shielded the sun off her face. Squinting now, she held her hand well above her head to wave in their directon as the car and trailer finally reached the house.

With a heavy step that clearly said it all about how she had a start just as early as the one they had, Laura aproached the car as it came to a stop, Kate almost instantly hopping off. Running towards the older woman, they captured each other in a tight hug as they shared words about how glad they were to see each other again. 

While the driver got out and quietly greeted Laura, he headed back to take care of the trailer. Still holding Kate by the shoulders, Laura went straight to their other guest. "You must be Matt."
