With everything that had been going on lately, Steve and Tony decided it was time to hire a nanny. When Peter had been younger, it was easier for them to get one of their friends to watch him, but now, he could walk and talk and the other Avengers couldn't always be trusted to be a good influence on him, they thought it would be better to get someone more normal than them to look after him.

Tony was busy with work. He was about to launch a domestic version of the tower's arc reactor for use in homes around the country, and hopefully soon, the WORLD! So he was on a promotion tour.

Steve was left in charge of finding the nanny, and being the old fashioned guy that he is, he decided the best way to do this would be to put an ad in the paper.

Full-time nanny needed for unusual family.

Nights will be needed sometimes.

Good pay.

Please ring number below if interested.

Steve was proud that he managed to email the ad to the newspaper all by himself and so went off to ring Tony and tell him all about his brilliant plan.

It was a few days later when the phone rang. It was Clint however, that picked it up.

"Caw caw?" He answered, expecting it to be one of his team.

"Um, excuse me?" replied an unfamiliar voice. It was a girl, but it sounded nothing like Nat.

"Oh, sorry! I thought you someone else. What can I do for you?" He started to swat at a nearby fly.

"Well, I'm Janet, I'm phoning about the nanny job. It hasn't been taken has it?" Clint vaguely remembered something Cap had said about a nanny.

"I don't think so. Why don't you tell me about yourself?" The fly was really starting to bug him now.

"Well, I'm Janet, I'm 25. I have college education, so no need to worry or anything. I'm very responsible-"

"Uh huh" Clint walked over to the fridge to retrieve his bow and arrows stashed down the side.

"I have plenty of experience with baby-sitting as I basically looked after my boyfriend while he got his PhD. I mean, if it weren't for me he wouldn't even have survived-"

"Right." He pulled back the string and aimed at the fly.

"And did he even thank me? No he didn't!" Thwack! The arrow caught the fly and pinned it to the wall. Clint gave a smile.

"Well, you don't sound crazy, so you're hired!" he said down the phone, unaware of anything she had just said.

"R-really? Oh my god! This is awesome! When should I start?"

"I think you should start tomorrow, at around 8."

"Great! Where am I working then?" Clint looked out of a nearby window.

"Yeah, you know that big, over-the-top Tower in the centre of New York?"

"Stark Tower? Yeah, is it near that?"

"No, it is that. Come up to the 30th floor and the pass code is 'Pikachu'."

"Pikachu?"

"Yeah, the kid chose it this week."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow!" The kitchen door opened the reveal Steve carrying some groceries.

"Bye then!" He hung up and grabbed an apple off the side.

"Was that Nat then?" Steve asked as he started to pack away the food.

"Nope, that was the new nanny." He took a bit from the apple. Steve looked at him.

"Someone called! Great, did you check if she had a criminal record?" Clint froze.

"Nope, but she didn't seem crazy."

"I'm more concerned she'll think you lot are crazy!" He carried on unpacking, and then stopped once again. "You didn't do anything weird did you?"

"Nope!" he took another bite of the apple and began to stroll out of the kitchen. "I may have answered the phone with 'caw caw' though." He left swiftly, only hearing Cap mutter 'Birdbrain' as he left.

The next day, Janet entered Stark Tower anxiously clutching her bag full of things she though she might need. She scurried through the lobby to the elevators. She managed to squeeze into one that was just about to leave. Everyone watched here as she reached to press the top button. She could feel every pair of eyes on her. The lift rose and stopped, workers leaving at each floor. After the tenth floor, the lift seemed empty. She let out a sigh of relief. She was happy that she no longer had people judging her. She'd had enough of that already.

"So you must be the new nanny?" A voice said from behind her. She twisted around to find no one there. The lift shuddered to a stop. Her heart started to race. Her hand wrapped around the pepper spray in her pocket. "Up here." The voice whispered again. She looked up and saw one of the panels was missing. Staring down at here were two pairs of eyes: One male and one female.

"Uh, hello?"

"She doesn't seem very scared of us Clint."

"I know Give it a second. It always creeps Tony out."

"You do know I can hear you, right?" She called up to them. Her hand wasn't as tight around the spray, but she was still ready to use it.

"This is stupid." The woman dropped down from the hole and stood in front of Janet. She had fiery red hair that was tied back and she wore a black t-shirt and yoga bottoms.

"Hi, I'm Natasha, and that bird brain up there is Clint." She smiled but there was nothing heart-warming about it. "Hope we didn't scare you too much"

"No it's okay. You must be the parents. "

"God No!"

"Ew!"

"Oh, so who are you? I don't have to watch him as well do I?" This got a laugh from Natasha and an angry 'hey!' from Clint.

"No, we have Coulson for that. Hey, Clint!" She called up "Can you get this elevator moving again?" The man disappeared and a moment later, the lift started to rise again and after more waiting, they arrived at the top floor. Janet stepped out and saw a man holding a baby.

"Please say you're the father else I'll start getting worried about the number of people I'll be looking after." He looked very confused, but shrugged it off. He was very muscular and very good looking.

"Hi I'm Steve and yes Peter is my son." He shifted the sleeping toddler so he could shake hands. Jan had to flex her hand afterwards to make sure no bones had been broken.

"I'm Jan."

"Well Jan we better be getting off to work!" He passed the sleeping toddler carefully to her and also handed her a few sheets of paper. "To save time I just wrote that list of everything you need to know about Peter. We'll be back at 6!" and with that he kissed his son goodbye and disappeared into the lift with Natasha and Clint. She blinked a couple and looked down at the child. She'd never seen someone so in a rush to get away from their child. I was all so very odd.

"Well then, I guess it's just us two." He remained asleep on her shoulder. "Now if you promise to behave, I promise to show you my party trick someday." She walked through a door to discover what this place had to offer.
