Author's Note: Hello! Thanks for all the follows, favourites and reviews for the first chapter! So again, which title do you like better? Catch Me if You Can, or Forget Me if You Can? And I hope that I haven't confused you with my ignorance about trading. I'm just going with what I know and the rest is all made up. It is an AU, so what can you expect?

Maria, nice to hear from you again! About Loki finding out...I can't say too much about it or else I'll give some of the plot away, so just keep an eye out! I'm glad you like this!

Starpossum, thanks! Pirate Loki will be appearing in either chapter three or four. I haven't decided...

CreativeChica39, this is a pretty unique AU. Looks like Loki's command came through, here's chapter 2!

Sunlight spilled through the crack at the bottom of her door. Natasha rolled over with a groan. The storm had kept her awake all night and she had just begun to doze off.

"Captain?" Someone was knocking on her door.

"Shit!" Natasha cursed.

"Captain?" They knocked again. The voice was familiar: It was Clint.

"Shit!" She scrambled for her clothing, but there wasn't enough time. Clint had managed to pick the lock and burst into Natasha's room.

"Nathanial! Oh, you're not Nathanial." Clint blushed as Natasha realized her negligee was thin and slightly see-through.

"Um…no. I'm his twin sister, Natasha." She lied. The captain was a skilled liar, no doubt about that.

"He never mentioned a twin." He looked at her suspiciously.

"What's there to mention?"

"Oh, um, uh…" Clint flushed red.

"I'm kidding. Are you looking for my brother?"

"Just wanted to see how he was doing. We were all pretty hung-over."

"Yeah, he's in the lavatory. I don't think he'll be well enough to hang out with you today."

"Then…would you like to hang out with us?" Clint asked. The captain was suddenly regressed to a teenage boy who was acting like he was asking a crush out on a first date.

"I don't know, I should watch my brother." Natasha was skeptical.

"Come on, he'll be fine. Nathanial is one tough son of a bitch." Clint grinned.

"Um, okay then. Just give me a few minutes and I'll be ready." He left and Natasha locked the door, taking a few deep breaths. It was close; Clint almost found out, which meant her plan would have been ruined. But what he had said before he left, Nathanial is one tough son of a bitch. Was that how they all saw her? If it was, then she could tell them sooner. But maybe it was only because they were best friends.

Natasha rushed to her dresser and opened the bottom drawer, also clicking the button, so it revealed a secret compartment. In it, was a plain brown trunk that held something of its complete opposite. Beautiful dresses of all shapes, sizes, colours and occasion, along with shoes, makeup and accessories. Just for when Natasha could finally be Natasha again.

Right now, she chose a simple soft pink dress and brushed her hair, returning it to the soft, wavy curls. Slipping on some high heels, Natasha opened the door to find Clint waiting dutifully for her.

"Oh, you were waiting for me?" Natasha asked.

"Of course. You're new in town and Nathanial would kill me if I lost his sister." Clint said.

"Thank you." She blushed. Usually, Natasha could keep her emotions in check, but being the real her again just brought out all her supressed emotions.

They walked off the ship and headed towards S.H.I.E.L.D. Aside from using the back room as their meeting place, they would often hang out there as well.

"Password?" Steve's eyes appeared again.

"Avengers." Clint said, with Natasha silently mouthing it. She was used to saying it.

The door opened, and Clint led Natasha in.

"Finally, Clint." Steve said.

"Who…are you?" Tony looked straight at Natasha.

"Natasha Romanoff." She said.

"She's Nathanial's twin sister."

"Funny how he never mentioned you…" Tony leered.

"I'm not a secret, but if my brother didn't feel the need to discuss his personal life, then that's his business." Natasha glared.

"Feisty too. Just like Nathanial."

"Nice to meet you, Lady Natasha." Bruce said.

"The feeling is mutual."

"That's Bruce, Tony, Thor and Steve." Clint pointed to each of them. Remembering her manners, Natasha curtsied and they each bowed. They may have been pirates, but they still knew the proper way to greet a lady.

"So why'd you decide to come back?" Tony asked.

"I…came back to visit Nathanial."

"But why now? Why didn't you come here before?"

"Look, Mister Stark." Natasha started.

"Don't call me Mister Stark. That's my dad. Call me Tony." He flashed a flirty grin, which Natasha had seen him use on many other women before.

"Tony, I think being Nathanial's sister, I have the freedom to visit him whenever I want." She glared, which could make her entire crew quiver in fear under the stare of her piercing green eyes.

Steve coughed. "Lady Natasha, are you well acquainted with our little town yet?"

"Are you offering?" Natasha asked. She knew how nervous Steve was around women. He could be completely calm and level-headed when he was facing a terrible storm at sea, but Steve was absolutely flustered around the opposite sex.

"Oh! Um…I…I…um…if you'll permit me." Steve blushed.

"No way! Steve is not having all the fun!" Tony exclaimed.

"We can all accompany you around town." Thor said. It was the first time he had spoken ever since Natasha showed up.

"If you want to, I won't mind." Natasha shrugged.

"Shall we?" Clint held out his arm.

"Let's go." Natasha linked her arm with his.

Clint led Natasha out of the tavern and into the street, where the sun was shining brightly and it made Natasha's hair look like it was glowing.

"Wow."

"What?" Natasha tilted her head.

"Your hair looks beautiful." Clint said.

"Thank you." Natasha's cheeks turned almost as red as her hair.

"Natasha, where is Nathanial anyway?" Bruce asked.

"My brother isn't feeling well." She replied.

"Really? As I recall, he can hold his liquor better than most of us." Thor said.

"He should be better by tomorrow."

"Hopefully. We're all heading off in two days." Steve muttered.

"What was that?" Natasha turned around and gazed curiously at Steve.

"Nothing." He blushed.

The Avengers led Natasha around, showing her all the shops and other things. Natasha had already seen everything, but her interest was true. It was her first time seeing it as Natasha Romanoff, not Nathanial. It was like seeing it for the first time, with her friends talking about everything and the adventures that happened there.

Soon, they had explored the entire town and it was getting late.

"I must be getting back soon. Thank you for the tour." Natasha thanked.

"It was no problem. Nathanial would kill us if we didn't take proper care of his sister." Clint bowed.

"Are you sure you don't need an escort back to your brother's ship?" Steve asked.

She felt a bit insulted. If the Avengers knew of her skills, then they wouldn't even think about her being helpless walking back.

"I'll think I'll be fine."

"You sure, Natasha? We don't want Nathanial getting angry at us." Tony said.

"I'll be alright. It's a short walk. Goodbye." Natasha spun around and walked towards The Red Pearl. She could hear them all saying goodbye.

The crew had already heard about her being the twin of their captain and didn't stop to question who she was. Luckily, they didn't dare go into Natasha's cabin and her cover was still safe.

Natasha took a long bath, cleaning her hair with her scentless shampoo. This time, she barricaded her door with her heavy dresser, to prevent any more incidents like this morning, when Clint had barged in. The skies were clear tonight, with stars dotting it like polka-dots, shining brightly. Natasha hoped the weather would stay nice, as they were heading out in two days. There was also the chance that Loki could ambush them during that time.

Natasha hid her dress and trunk away. She didn't want to bring that out too much. An excuse about going back could be made and her friends would accept it, never seeing Natasha again and only Nathanial, or until the captain had proved herself.

It was a silent night, which meant Natasha could sleep easily.


Author's Note: Looks like Natasha's plan was almost foiled. I hope that wasn't confusing. And no one caught the red pearl reference? I thought everyone would point that out...oh well!
