I swear these are just getting shorter! So I'm back. This one is called "Of Games and Career Choices." We're getting into the roll of things now, so the stories should improve. Even though they're getting shorter, they're getting better -I hope.

This was a fun one to write, Leo got to be awesome, and he met an Avenger. So all around fun. And the title is sort of an easter egg.

I now present to you

"Of Games and Career Choices"

Natasha opened the door to Stark's mansion. Suddenly, a teenager with war paint on his face dropped down from the ceiling and pumped three paintballs into her chest.

"Crap-" was all he was able to get out before she hit the gun out of his hand and grabbed his upper arms in an iron grip.

"Who are you? Why were you planning on attacking Stark?" She demanded.

The kid raised his hands as best he could with his arms being held against his sides. "We were just playing Assassin."

The door opened again and this time, it was Tony who opened the door. He froze for a split second before reaching for his own mini paintball gun.

As he was pulling the trigger, the kid pulled out of Natasha's grasp and spun her around to be a human shield.

He make a break for his gun and as soon as he grabbed it, turned around and hit Tony smack in the center of his forehead.

Natasha now had five splatters of paint on her shirt, and two plumes of steam coming out her ears.

Tony darted around her and pulled the kid with him to face her. "Natasha, this is my nephew Leo."

Leo mouthed 'nice save' to his uncle before turning to the increasingly angry super spy. "Hi, nice to meet you."

"I didn't know Stark had any family left," was all Natasha said.

"Well, he wasn't exactly my first ch-" Leo's what was sure to an insult was cut off by his uncle putting a hand on his mouth.

"I just found out about him a month ago. Since he was a ward of the state, I took him in. Ew! You licked me!" He shouted the last part at his nephew.

"That's makes me sound like I'm a puppy," replied Leo.

Tony smirked, "Which part?"

"All of it."

Natasha put on her normal working woman guise. "Hi, I'm Natasha. I work with your uncle."

"Oh, so you're Black Widow," replied Leo.

Natasha glared at Tony, who quickly spoke up. "I didn't tell him!"

Leo laughed. "He didn't have to. You have the same hair color and body type as Black Widow, when I came in here I got paint all over your fancy suit and instead of freaking out about that like most people, you asked why I was planning to attack Stark. You also hit the paintball gun out of my hand like you'd done it a thousand time before, and did a complete 180 into a perfectly normal woman."

Both adults stared at him for a few moments.

"I didn't know I was Sherlock Holmes' uncle," cheered Tony.

Natasha scoffed at her 'colleague's' antics. "Yes, I'm Black Widow."

Leo nodded. "Cool, Jason and Percy owe me 20 bucks."

"What?"

"Me and my friends made a bet when I would I meet another Avenger. I won," explained Leo simply.

Natasha quirked an eyebrow but didn't say anything further on the subject.

"So what's this Assassin game?"

There you have it! "Of Games and Career Choices"

I hope you like it, I'm pretty happy with it.

Auf Wiedersehen!
