This is Part 1 of i don't know how many...

Natasha didn't know how she had come to be so compromised. One moment she was doing her job being the best undercover spy and then she somehow found herself here, beside Tony Stark. Somehow of the course of six years, he had gone from being an assignment, to being her little brother (yes he was taller and older than her but Tony was always going to be her baby brother).

But they had gotten very close over time. So when the world threw stones at them, they came together to lick each other's wounds and then got back out there to keep on fighting. Natasha had let her masks drop around him, letting Tony in to see past Natasha Romanov the Black Widow, to Natalia the lost orphan.

In return Tony let his walls come down so that she could see passed the 'genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist' to Tony, the smart kid that wanted to do right by the world. Today they were the best of friends, almost always together. Went looking for Tony, Natasha was there, couldn't seem to find Natasha, Tony knew where she was and when she was coming back.

Natasha was a bit surprised by how much she changed. Growing up, raised to be the Black Widow, secrets were sacred and needed to survive. But she didn't have secrets with Tony, they had made a promise to each other never to lie or keep something form the other. At first it freaked her out to be so open with someone and she knew Tony was feeling the same. But with time, it got easier and now she wouldn't change it for the world.

So imagine her surprise when Tony dropped the ultimate bombshell on her last week.

She had been relaxing in her room, having had a day off from SHIELD work. She was wrapped up in a soft Iron Man blanket, book in hand and some music playing from the TV when Tony came in. He had SI work that morning but was able to leave after two mandatory meetings that Pepper wouldn't let him out of. He let himself in, headed straight for the kitchen where he deposited lunch, which was Chinese food.

She listened to him rummage around but didn't make a move to go see what he was up too. She was able to finish two more pages before Tony came in the room, presented two paper plates covered in their favorites and two soda cans tucked under his arm. He handed her a plate and then sat his down so he could put the drinks down. Before he sat down he pulled two sealed plastic forks from his back pocket and then sat next to her on the couch.

It was only after he got settled with his plate in his lap and taken a bite of food when he finally broke the silence between them.

"Talia, I've come to a realization and I don't know what to do." He had been looking at her when he spoke but a by the end of his sentence he had turned his attention back down to his plate.

"What is it младший брат?" Natasha hesitated on her next bite of food, eyeing the brunette.

"…I have feelings for Thor." He had put his hands in his lap, one holding his plate and the other still holding his fork that was stabbed in a piece of broccoli.

She carefully sat her food down as well, if she was being honest she was completely taken by surprise. "I really wasn't expecting that."

He chuckled and ate the broccoli off his fork, "Yeah, I kind of surprised myself too."

She turned back to her meal and thought about this, Thor was a good guy, smart even though he liked to seem naïve. But could he be trusted with Tony's heart? "What do you plan to do?"

Tony seemed a bit taken aback by the question and thought about it, "I don't know, he still seems a little broken up about Jane, even though it ended a few months ago…" the 'he's probably not even into me' went unsaid but both knew that's what the genius was thinking. "Plus, just because I suddenly have feelings for Thor doesn't mean I need to act of them, it's probably some little kid crush, it'll pass." Natasha highly doubted that but she'd let it slide.

"Well then, I guess that only means one thing." Tony gave her a curious laugh and she smiled at him, "we need to go shopping, buy a couple outfits and get Thor to notice you." Tony laughed, shaking his head at her.

"You're ridiculous."

"I am no such thing, any man, even a god would be blind if he didn't notice that ass and if that doesn't get his attention to even start looking at you, then he's an idiot. You've already showed everyone on the team how smart you are and then after custom designing a floor for each of us should be obvious enough what an amazing person you are. It's time to show him your other assets." He didn't miss the way she emphasized the 'ass' in assets.

"So shopping tomorrow?" Natasha smiled and nodded her head, Tony grinned a little. "It's a date than."
