Here's Chapter 7, oh my god so much happens and i hope it all makes sense! tell me in the reviews!

and oh i dont own the avengers! shocking!


"Here you go, darling." Peggy handed little Tony a box with a smile. Tony gasped and ran to open it at the table, "Thanks Aunty Peggy!"

"No problem, dove. Now, how about some of Peggy's special hot coco?" She asked, but she already knew the answer.

"YES! Please." The little boy exclaimed before opening the box. Inside was a Captain America comic book, a Captain America watch and some chocolate. "Aunty Peggy its great thank you!" Tony spoke in pure happiness as he flicked through the pages of the comic.

"I'm glad you liked it." The women replied as she started up the pot of water to boil.

"'Peggy's special hot coco' aye?" Steve grinned as stood beside Peggy.

"Oh yes, more like 'Peggy stubbornly only makes hot coco the old fashion way.'" Peggy replied smiling up at the other.

Steve laughed, "Oh I can understand that!"

They both laughed lightly together.

From next to Tony, Natasha watched the whole scene with a blank face. She felt sad… which she found confusing. And was that jealousy deep down? Oh no. No that can't be right. Natasha shook that thought away and withdrew her attention back to Tony. The boy looked up at her and smiled warmly which removed all her weird, unwelcomed sadness and she grinned back.

Steve and Peggy continued to joke around and laugh; the two were too caught up talking to each other that they didn't notice the new presence in the room.

"Peggy?"

Peggy turned around to see Howard standing with a confused look on his face. She rolled her eyes, "Hello Howard."

"I didn't expect to see you here, what can I help you with?" The man asked with a frown, completely not acknowledging his son.

"Oh Howard don't be so self-absorb. I'm here for Tony's birthday." Peggy replied in an annoyed voice as she turned back to making the hot beverage.

"Oh right." Howard looked towards his son awkwardly, who was staring back and sat up tense next to Natasha. "Uh… Happy Birthday boy." The man spoke, nodding in Tony's direction.

Tony nodded back, "T-Thanks dad." He replied hesitantly.

Howard let out a tight smile before disappearing back out the kitchen. Everything was silent before Peggy spoke up. "Okay lovelies, Peggy's special hot coco is ready to be served!"

"Did you see that Jarvis! He said happy birthday to me this year! And he smiled!" It was sad to see the boy excited over this.

"Yes, Tony I did." Jarvis replied with a small sad smile. Tony was beaming.

"Okay so who wants some? Jarvis don't even bother replying I know how much you love this stuff." Peggy smirked at the butler and Jarvis snickered.

"I would love some, Peggy." Steve said politely, looking at the women with love struck eyes that made Natasha roll hers.

"Great!" Peggy grinned at Steve, lingering a bit. The two got caught looking in each other's eyes, before Peggy shook her head and looked away with an awkward laugh. "I'm sorry, you just look like someone who meant a lot to me." She smiled sadly. Steve looked like he was going to cry, but it didn't stop his own smile.

After witnessing the two half flirting and looking longingly at each other, Jarvis and Tony were both sending weird, amused looks at the two while Natasha stared with a tired looking one.

"Oh! What about you Natalie? Would you like some delicious hot coco?" Peggy sent a smile Natasha's way.

Natasha shook her head and stood up, "No thank you, I've just got to go do something in uh- my room. I'll be back later!" the red head mumbled as she exited. As soon as she was clear from the kitchen, she took in a deep breath and shook her head. She wasn't going to let feelings get to her, especially these childish ones. Natasha continued her walk to her room with a stern look upon her face.

Entering her room, a bright white took her attention. On the bed was small piece of paper with a written message on it.

Looks like we underestimated S.H.I.E.L.D.

We have more men now, good luck protecting your little genius, Agent Romanoff.

At the bottom of the sheet of paper was a symbol Natasha was all too familiar with, hydra. Growling and crumbling the note in a fist, she stormed back to the kitchen.

"Steve!" Natasha yelled as she entered the room, completely blowing their cover.

Steve looked up wide eyed and the others all shared confused looks.

"Steve?" Peggy asked with a frown looking towards Steve; she had this look of disbelief on her face mixed with realisation.

"Who's Steve?" Tony spoke up.

Natasha, completely ignoring the others, threw the note at Steve, the man was taken back from the women's roughness but just read the note without questioning her.

"Oh no." He muttered mostly to himself, but the others all heard. Steve looked up at little Tony, a worried look upon his face and then up at Natasha, who had her arms crossed and eyebrow raised as she waited for a response.

Noticing the concerned look the man shot at Tony, Peggy's protective motherly instinct broke out and she snatched the note from Steve's hand.

Upon reading it, the women looked up at the two with a frown.

"What is this? Is Tony in danger?" She demanded.

Steve went to talk but Natasha talked over him, "My name is Natasha Romanoff and his is Steve Rogers, yes he's Captain America. We got sent back in time from 2015 to go under disguise to protect little Tony from hydra who want to take Tony with them to 2015 to help them make weapons." She explained in a monotone voice. Steve couldn't help but notice the coldness coming from Natasha towards him.

"But they have more people coming, and so we need to be ready, we need to be prepared." Natasha continued.

"Steve?" Peggy was tearing up as she looked at the man beside her. Tony was across the table, he had shrunk down in his chair as he stared at captain America with wide eyes. "Is it really you?" Peggy spoke up again with a shaky voice.

"Yes, Peggy it's me." Steve said with a lump in his throat.

Peggy let out a sob and hugged Steve, "It's been so long."

Tony moved his shocked eyes to Natasha as if looking for help understanding. He then turned to Jarvis, "What's happening?" He asked with a trembling voice, he was shaking.

Jarvis put a hand on the boys shoulder and then frowned up at Natasha; he didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry Tony, we will protect you. Nothing's going to happen to-"Natasha was interrupted by the back door that was behind Tony being kicked down.

Tony yelled out and dived to hide under the table as hydra men were barging in. Natasha pulled out the gun she hid on her body at all times and jumped on top of the table shooting any of them who came close to Tony.

Steve was punching them with his super human strength.

Peggy had used her hot coco glass to throw hot drink at one of them and to smash the mug against another man's head.

And Jarvis was under the table with the boy, leaning over him in a protective hold and giving him comforting words.

Nobody noticed the man crawling under the table from behind, he reached and yanked Tony out of the butler's hold and out from the table. Tony faced up to see a man who had a bandana covering the bottom half of his face with an evil glint in his eyes, the boy let out a scream catching Natasha's attention. The agent turned instantly and without any hesitation shot the man through the head. The man dropped, limp on top of the boy. Tony was frozen under the man as he felt the blood leak upon him. The man wasn't on him long as Natasha pulled the body off. She helped Tony back up to his feet and pushed him behind her, acting as a human shield.

When she looked around there was only three men left standing, everyone was stood still as the three men held their hands up in surrender. One of the men showed off a device and Natasha aimed the gun at him. The man simply raised an eyebrow at her before pressing a button on the device.

A blue light flashed and all the hydra men were gone.

They were all silent; Natasha stood back and faced Tony, pulling the hyperventilating boy into a tight hug. "It's okay, they are gone. You're safe now." She spoke softly into the boy's ear.

Natasha kept close to Tony as she turned and faced the others.

Jarvis was looking around the mess that was the kitchen; his train of sight would turn to Tony with and would scan over the boy to check if he was alright. He wasn't, the boy had blood sprayed on his face from the hydra man and he was shaking so badly you could notice from a distance, Tony seemed to be in a state of shock.

Steve and Peggy was standing near each other, both were breathing harshly after the intense fight. They both turned and made eye contact before crashing into each other for hug, both visually relaxing.

Natasha simply turned her eyes away from the two and pulled Tony into another hug before taking his hand and standing up. "Come on baby, let's get you cleaned up" She spoke gently before softly leading Tony towards the bathroom, she looked over to Jarvis and the butler nodded, following them to help.

On their journey to the bathroom Natasha wondered why Howard didn't run into the kitchen after the gun shots, but as they passed his office she found out why. The man was fast asleep on his desk, a mess of papers surrounding him. Natasha looked at Jarvis and the man shook his head, "The man doesn't bother sleeping much but when he does you can't seem to wake him back up." The butler told her softy.
