"There you are! Your bus will be here in five minutes why aren't you ready?"

"I don't think I can go dad" he says. He is sitting on his bed looking sad.

"You feeling sick?" Tony asks and crosses to him. He feels Johnny's forehead but it feels normal.

"Just my stomach" he says. He knows its from guilt but he really wants to go camping.

"Probably just nerves but you'll be fine" Tony says.

Johnny nods and soon the bus arrives. He gives his dad a hug and leaves. He was supposed to be gone for three nights but didn't even make it the full night. Tony went and got him as the other boys were going to sleep.

"Dad...my stomach pains I think are cuz I feel really guilty" Johnny said when they were driving home.

"What did you do?" Tony asks in a calm voice. Johnny pulls out something wrapped in tissue paper from his backpack.

"A few days ago I was playing with Jamie. I went to go get some water and I was playing with my bouncy ball. It got away from me and knocked this off a shelf" he says.

One of Natasha's favorite statues is then unwrapped but its in quite a lot of pieces.

"I am guessing she doesn't know" Tony says and the boy shakes his head.

"I didn't wanna get in trouble and lose my camping trip, I felt too guilty though, I am really sorry dad"

"I am afraid apologizing isn't enough" Tony answers angrily. "You're most definitely grounded for a month and when we get home you are going to tell your Aunt the truth" Tony tells him.

Johnny sighs but nods his head. "I am sorry dad"

"I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in you Jonathon Anthony Stark! Not only did you break a rule of playing with your ball indoors but you then broke something. You then ran off with it and kept it secret for three days! Then you actually had the nerve to go to your camping trip when you knew you shouldn't!" Tony snaps.

"I know and I am really sorry"

"Don't talk anymore Jonathon!" Tony says and the rest of the ride is silent. Tony escorts him to the Barton home and Jamie answers.

"Hi guys, come on in were playing monopoly in the living room" he says and leads them to the others.

"Looks like their busy" Johnny says and goes to leave but Tony stops him.

"Do you really want to anger me some more young man?" he asks.

"What's going on Tony?" Natasha asks.

"Tell her Jonathon" Tony says and Johnny sighs. He takes out the broken statue again from his backpack and hands it to Natasha.

"When I was here a few days ago I accidentally broke that. I was playing with my ball and it got away from me" he says.

Natasha unwraps the statue and sighs.

"I really liked this one too" she says.

"I'm really sorry Aunt Nat"

She doesn't respond to him. Instead she looks at the boy's father. "Tony, will you take over for me?" she asks and Tony nods.

"Great, I think were going to lose now kids" Clint says and both of his kids chuckle.

"Just go easy on him Red" Tony says and Nat nods.

"I'm a mom now Tony, I know how to deal with children" she says. She takes Johnny's hand then and leads him to her bedroom.

When they go inside she has him sit on the bed and she sits as well. She doesn't speak though.

"Please say something" he begged. It had been an awkward silence for over five minutes and he just wanted it to end.

"I don't even know what I'm supposed to say Jonathon" was the reply.

"I'm really sorry" he says.

"Okay, it doesn't really fix anything though" he says.

"But I am sorry" Johnny whines.

"Yeah, it doesn't help Jonathon" she says. "You not only broke my statue but then you tried to just hide it and waited all weekend to confess" she adds.

Johnny nods as his face holds a guilty expression. "Yes ma'am, I am sorry though, I just didn't want to lose my camping trip" he says and then sighs. "It was today actually and I went but I couldn't have fun. I felt so bad about what I did and not confessing to it. I knew I didn't deserve to be there so I called my dad and made him get me"

Natasha just shakes her head. "I'm really disappointed in you Jonathon"

"I know, I am really sorry"

"That doesn't cut it Jonathon. I'm upset that you acted very selfishly and didn't care at all about me"

"I do care! Aunt Nat I do care about you a lot!" he cries.

"Then you should have just admitted it when it happened Jonathon! But all you cared about was yourself and keeping out of trouble!" she snaps.

"I know..." he says then he sighs. "Forget it Aunt Nat, I just will never come here ever again, I am sorry I made you hate me" he adds.

He gets off the bed and opens the door. Natasha is just as quick on her feet and pushes it closed and then puts her body against it. She slides down to her knees and takes Johnny's hands.

"When did I say I hated you?" she asks.

"You didn't, but you sound like you do" he replies sullenly.

"Well I don't" she replies. "But..."

"I am just very angry and disappointed in you Jonathon" she says.

"I really am sorry" he says. Before she can reply he hugs her neck. She smiles and hugs him back. When he pulls back she stands and sits on the bed. She then lifts him up and places him on her lap. "I really don't hate you Jonathon. I can't anyway, we have a no hate rule in this tower" she says.

"Oh yeah" he says. "But you're really mad at me" he adds with a dejected tone.

"I am mostly disappointed in you for your bad choices" she says. She then bends her head and gives his head a kiss. "I'll forgive you though because I do love you" she adds.

"Thanks Aunt Nat, I love you too" he says and hugs her again. She hugs him back. "You do know you're going to be punished right?"

"Yeah, dad grounded me for a month" he says.

"Well I guess you'll be spending a lot of that month here helping me" Nat says.

"Okay, I am just glad you forgive me" he responds.
