Clintasha parenting.
"MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!"
Natasha rolled over to face her four year old daughter, who would now be starting kindergarten with Morgan Stark.
"Yeah Car?" She asked.
"I have to get ready! Today's school!"
"What's up?" Clint asked, just waking up.
"DADDY! Were you not listening?! Today's school!"
Clint nodded, still almost asleep.
Natasha put her finger to her lips, and carly fell silent. She then pointed to Clint's head, and Carly understood.
Carly took the water on Clint's bedside table and dumped it on her dad's head.
"AUGH!"
Clint sat right up.
Natasha and Carly fell into hysterics.
Clint grinned and started tickling Carly, who began to kick and squeal.
Natasha smiled at the family she had created, playing happily together.
Just a year ago, Carly had been a three year old girl left at a movie theatre, by her red-room-runaway mother.
Now, she barely remembered that awful woman, and now knew only Natasha and Clint, the two most caring people on the planet.
"Alright, alright Clint!" Laughed Nat, as she pulled carly away from Clint. "Get out, the girls have to change."
Whie Natasha put her S.H.I.E.L.D uniform in a gym bag and then put on a red shirt and black jeans, Carly went through everything she was excited about.
"And Morgan an' me are gonna be partaners for everything…"
"Partners love," Natasha corrected distractedly.
"Don' interrupt me Mommy. An' I hope we learn about bugs an stuff, do you think we'll learn russian?"
Natasha laughed. She enjoyed that her daughter took an interest in her background.
Carly's mother had been raised in the red room alongside Natasha, but she ran away when they were teenagers, leaving her to face the horrors alone. That gave Carly a Russian-American background, even not being blood-related to Natasha.
"Probably not, sweetheart. But I can always teach you some if you want."
Carly's hazel eyes grew big.
"Really?"
"Sure."
Carly laughed and hugged her mom. Well, as much as she could, since she WAS only four.
Carly and Natasha entered the kitchen of Stark Towers. Carly was wearing marled sweatpants and a purple t-shirt, while Natasha had a black sweatshirt over a red tank top and black jeans.
Natasha joined Pepper in the Kitchen with the paper.
Alicya Ivanov had broken out of prison a few weeks ago, and Natasha wasn't about to let Carly's evil Biological mother hurt her. She'd been looking for updates ever since. Carly hopped up beside Morgan on a chair, who was wearing blue leggings and a pink sweatshirt.
"How's life?" Natasha asked pepper as she grabbed a blueberry muffin.
"Not bad, you?" Pepper replied.
"Pretty good, actually." Nat smiled.
"Hey girls, what poptarts do you want?" Pepper asked.
"Strawberry!" Both girls replied.
"Strawberry it is," Mumbled Natasha, pulling out the box, and setting it on the table.
While they chitchatted, Tony and Clint entered the kitchen.
"Hi Daddies," Pepper teased.
"Good morning beautifal," Tony smirked, and pecked pepper on the lips.
Natasha made a gag symbol at Morgan and Carly who giggled.
Clint kissed Natasha on the cheek and sipped his coffee.
"What's new with the paper?" He asked, looking over her shoulder.
"Not much. Who's car are we taking?" Asked Natasha.
"Mine of course!" Tony smiled. "We need to arrive in style!"
"As long as it's not a limo."
"Of course not Agent Romanoff, a sports car."
Natasha rolled her eyes at pepper, who snorted.
"You ready to go girls?" Clint asked.
"YEAH!" They both screamed, and raced to get their bags.
Pepper handed them each a lunchbag.
"Tony, check if they have all their stuff," She demanded.
"What's all their stuff?"
"Change of clothes, luchbag, waterbottle, and indoor shoes. The clothes and indoor shoes will stay at school, but the waterbottle and lunchbag come home."
Tony looked in both bags.
"Yup."
"Let's go!" Cheered Clint.
They all piled into tony's red sports car, witch drove itself to the school.
They went in to meet the teacher.
"Hi, I'm Miss Jonathan," The woman introduced. "You can call me Liyah."
Natasha smiled at the woman. She was really young, long, blond hair and in converse, with nice jeans and a white blouse, similar to Pepper's.
Pepper, Nat, Clint and Tony each shook the teacher's hand.
"I'm Tony, here is My daughter, Morgan Stark, and my goddaughter, Carly Barton. They're very stubborn, might be a handfull," He whispered that last part. She laughed.
"I'm sure they're great. And you'd be Morgan's mum?" She asked Pepper.
"That's me. The REAL parent. Pepper Potts." She shook Miss Jonathan's hand.
"And you'd be Carly's parents," She turned to Clint and Natasha.
"Yep. I'm Natasha, and this is Clint," She introduced.
"Great. Now, drop off time is 8:45, and Pick Up is 3:15. If they can't make it on time for any reason, you can call the office and they'll tell me, so I don't worry. You can come pick them up for lunch, if so, then write me a note, and I'll tell the office. They can wait there. I need you to fill out these forms, it's mostly doctor's numbers and emergency numbers in case the parents can't make a call."
Natasha and Pepper filled out the forms.
Natasha made Pepper or Tony the second emergency contact incase Nat or Clint couldn't pick up, and made Wanda the third.
Pepper made Natasha or Clint the second emergency contact incae she or Tony could pick up, and Jane Foster-who she'd developed a close friendship with-the third.
They handed back the forms.
"Great! You are free to go, unless you want to stay until the bell rings."
"Just to warn you," Clint said. "Nat's sister and my brother could both come asking pick Carly up, but under no circumstances should she go with either of them. I know that sounds suspicious, but please don't. My brother hates me and could possibly do something, and vice versa with Nat's sister, so even if one of us calls, please don't give her to either of them."
It was smart to call Alicya Natasha's sister, beacause it would take a while to explain that they used to be friends, and now weren't, and they went to a training facillity together until they were twelve and Alicya ran away.
"Of course Mr. Barton," She assured. "We would never give your child to someone who's not on the appropriate list."
"Thank you," Natasha sighed, and glanced back down at the list.
Appropriate pick up people.
Natasha Romanoff/Clint Barton
Tony Stark/Pepper Potts
Steve Rogers
Jane Foster
Bruce Banner
Abigail Barton
Maria Hill
*UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CARLY BE GIVEN TO ALICYA ROMANOFF OR BARNEY BARTON*
The only reason that Clint's sister had been put at the second-to-bottom was because she lived a while away, and because her work was interfering a lot.
Abby wasn't a dignified S.H.I.E.L.D agent anymore, she was an actress, but she would always come back if they needed her, and would certainly always help if Clint or Nat needed her.
"Bye sweetheart!" Natasha said to Carly, bending down and hugging her Clint kissed her forehead.
"Have fun."
"I will Daddy! Bye Mommy!"
Natasha was sad to leave Carly, but knew she'd be back soon.
But before they could leave, a flustered young woman came running up to the fence, panting.
"Long way from the car!" She panted, putting a hand on her chest.
Her long brown hair flowed behind her, with leggings and a large sweatshirt.
"Abby?" Asked Clint.
"Where's Carly and Morgan?!" She asked exasperatedly, as two little girls came running up.
She laughed.
"Aunt Abby!" Carly laughed, and Abby bent down to hug the two girls.
"I heard it was your first day, so I had to see you guys!" She smiled. "I have something for both of you!
She pulled two invisible ink pens.
"Now you can write notes and only you two can read it! You write, but you can't see it. So you push this button here and this light comes out, and then you can read it! But don't use it on schoolork, you'd get in trouble and your moms would both kill me."
The two girls laughed and hugged her again.
"Will you be here when we get home?"
"Of course! I'm staying for a while!" she smiled, but Clint could see the worry.
"You're what?" Tony growled, but he was ingnored.
Of course, the two four year old's couldn't, so they just said goodbye and ran into Class.
"Abby!" Laughed Pepper and Natasha, hugging the younger girl.
"Hi!" She laughed.
"What a grand entrance!" Tony sneered playfully.
"Only the best."
She hugged Tony and moved on to Clint.
"What a surprise!" He laughed.
"Yeah! I thought I would come stay and-oh my god Clint!" she moaned, burrying her face in his neck.
"What?" Natasha asked.
"I'm on the run from Barney," She began. "He found out where I was staying in LA during the filming of The Pizza Guy, the new show? And he came after me last week, just broke in while I was watching TV. I fought him off and got away. I think he's working with Ivanov. Anyway, I hid and Called 'Ria, and she picked me up."
"So fury knows you're here then?" Clint asked.
Abby nodded.
"But he can't know I'm here. I called my agent and said I was vacationing for a while, so I won't have to do any work. If Barney's working with Alicya, then they're coming after one thing…"
"Carly," Natasha echoed.
Abby nodded.
"So that's why you came?" Clint asked.
She nodded gravely.
"I'm not going to stay at the towers too long, I'll move around. I'm used to that."
Abby, Barney and Clint had been orphaned at an early age, and after bouncing around in foster care, ended up working for the circus. Clint discovered the circus swindled money out of the customers, and intended to tell the poilce, but they beat him and left him for dead before he could.
That Left Abby, a little nine year old trapieze artist and knife thrower at the time, in the cruel hands of the 'circus.'
Their 'training' broke the little girl, and she became a ruthless killer and crook, and after she left the circus, became a freelance agent, bouncing around from place to place, not staying in one spat of more than four days at most.
Although, after she got on S.H.I.E.L.D's radar, Clint and Natasha tracked her down and got her back to S.H.I.E.L.D, and she got back to her brother, she told S.H.I.E.L.D all about who she'd work for, in exchange for getting her back on her feet. She was offered a job, witch she took, but resigned after a while and went on to go into acting, but she agreed to come back if they needed her.
"No, stay. It'll take a whole lot of brains to break in, and even then, it's inhabited by the avengers, their badass girlfriends slash wives slash-fiancees, and the scarlet witch. Plus you." Tony reasoned.
"But if they do manage to get through that-"
"*Cough* IF *cough*"
"Carly and Morgan live there."
"Then, if we sense them, we'll take Carly and Morgan to S.H.I.E.L.D or the base or SOMETHING." Clint said.
Abby nodded.
"I'm still worried."
"It'll be fine," Pepper assured. "Plus, how's a man and a woman on the run gonna get from LA to new york?!"
Abby laughed but she still wasn't completely convinced.
So? How was it?! I wrote it in the car so I couldn't get spell check, so if there are any spelling errors please tell me.
