Natasha wakes up to an insistent knocking on the door of the Wakandan house she shares with the rest of the ex-Avengers. She groans, she had just got back from the Raft mission and she was still sore. She picked up a handgun and walked to the door. As she opened it she pointed the handgun but then she quickly put it down and ushered the people inside.

"What are you doing here," Natasha hissed.

"It's May, Natalia, and it's not just her, we need a place to get cleaned up and recovered," the tall girl said, almost in tears. This girl was a soldier Natasha screamed in her head, soldiers do not cry.

Natasha looked into the blankets in the girl's arms. There was a girl in the blanket, not a small girl a, tall skinny girl curled into a ball. Natasha looked behind the girl carrying the bundle and saw the rest of the SFU first classmen. They were battered and beat-up. "I can't help you Marti, you know I can't. I'd have to call Bruce. And anyway, why aren't you living with Laura?"

"You owe me a blood debt Natalia Romanova, and I have come to collect."

"I'll see if I can call Bruce," she sighs "Let me wake up Steve and Bucky. In the meanwhile, put May on the couch and sit down. Help yourself to whatever you want, just don't touch the pop tarts, those are Thor's."

"Riiiiight, don't touch the pop tarts," Marti replies as Natasha walks out of the room. As soon as Natasha's back is turned Marti grabs the box of pop tarts, opens it and begins to toast them. Once they're done she hands them out to the approximately twenty kids seated on the floor or in chairs. She opens a second box and toasts more. They disappear in a good ten seconds like the first set. Marti sighs, she was going to need one heck of a lot more poptarts.

Natasha goes into the room that Steve and Bucky share she stubs her toe on Cap's shield. She slaps Steve on the shoulder, and shakes Bucky's real arm before moving out the way of Bucky's metal arm as it reaches for her. Steve meanwhile rubbed his eyes and sat halfway up and mumbled "wha' is it? Who's attacking?"

"No one's attacking Cap," Natasha replies "I just need help with some stuff."

"This stuff is so important that you had to wake not just one but both of us up," Steve replies. By now Bucky is up and sleepily yawns and rubs his eyes.

"Wha's happening," he mumbles nearly intelligibly.

"Nat," Steve says dryly, "has woken us because she needs our help to attend to some very important business."

"Why exactly," Bucky asks, fully awake now that Steve has explained the situation.

"Well, um," Natasha begins "Some family members of mine came to visit…." She pauses, trailing off.

"What about your family," Steve says "I thought you didn't have one."

"I don't," Natasha replies "They're not technically my family. It's mostly one of my friends family and their friends."

"So why did they come," Bucky asks.

"Because in the Tribal Fed family is more than blood. Also I have a joint custody deal on two of them."

"You… You," Steve stutters unable to find the right words.

"Yes I have kids," Natasha replies "and I don't plan on losing them."
