A/N: Yes I know. I am terrible at updating recently. But I swear I am getting more used to my schedule now, so I am getting into a better flow of actually writing. But anyways here is chapter 14!

New Avengers?

Daisy was wringing her hands as she watched all the Avengers slowly filter into the meeting room that she had called them into.

"Quit" Natasha chastised her as she sat in the chair that was right next to where she stood "You'll be fine. Remember, you're among friends."

As Sam, Bucky, and Steve took their seats as the last people to come in the room, Daisy rose to her feet.

"So, I might as well just get straight to business. You all are busy people and I don't want to be more of an intrusion than I already am." Daisy cleared her throat "As you all know, Coulson as well as Steve have both agreed upon appointing me SHIELD liaison to the Avengers. With this position, I coordinate any of your- I mean… our- missions that are SHIELD sanctioned. It also means that I can present possible candidates for the Avengers initiative from within or relating to SHIELD."
"Alright, what'd'ya got for us?" Tony said as he leaned back in his chair.

Daisy stared at Tony, blinking for a moment. "With the help of Coulson… I got ahold of Bobbi Morse-codename Mockingbird. She was on the original list for the Avengers Initiative. She was an Agent of SHIELD through the fall and was on Coulson's team for a time but now she can now longer be an Agent for reasons better left unsaid. She has a doctorate in Biochemistry, is skilled in acrobatics, martial arts, and of course espionage." Daisy looked around to find that everyone was looking at her with interest "Bobbi is also currently living with former SHIELD asset Jessica Drew -codename Spiderwoman – also was on the short list for the Avengers Initiative. Jessica was forced to leave SHIELD during the fall due to the fact that if she was caught by HYDRA they would have exploited her powers, again. Her powers include, Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, flexibility, and hearing, contaminant immunity, wall-crawling, venom-blasts, healing factor, and self-propelled gliding. Her skills include martial arts, acrobatics, and espionage."

"YES! Another Bird AND another deadly Spider girl?" Tony looked absolutely thrilled.

Steve shook his head, smiling slightly "Alright Avengers you know the drill. Give me some pros and cons."

"Well, it would be nice to have another scientist on the team." Bruce was the first to speak up.

"Hell, yea it would be!" Tony was grinning obnoxiously.

"And it would be handy to have more team members that have actual skill in espionage." Sam said as he reclined in his seat.

"And training Wanda and Pietro will be much easier with another person who has powers. No to mention someone who has powers that are like Pietro's. AND it will be good to balance out the testosterone on the team with some more females." Rhodey pitched it.

"I agree with the War Machine! Having more female compatriots to join us in battle is very much a 'pro'!" Thor grinned as he leaned onto the table.

"They sound pretty badass to me! Like they could teach us a thing or two." Bucky was smirking.

Steve was nodding as he smiled and turned towards Clint and Natasha. "Anything you two would like to add?"

Natasha hesitated slightly before saying "I'm not so certain it's such a great idea, Steve. There is some history there, with both Bobbi and Jessica."

Steve nodded. "Clint?"

Everyone was staring at him expectantly as Clint cleared his throat "Well, Cap. All I gotta say is Bob and Jess both earned their spots on the original list for the Avengers initiative."

Steve nodded. "Alright. All things considered, I think we at least should give them a test run. Why don't you call them and see if they can come up to the tower, Daisy?"

Everyone was surprised when Natasha got up and walked out of the room, without waiting for Clint.

"Clint, do you want to tell us about this supposed history that Nat has with Miss Morse and Miss Drew?" Steve questioned gently.

"I really don't know why she brought up having history with either of them. The only one of us that has any bad history with them is me. She was friends with Bobbi and Jessica." Clint sighed "If you all may recall Bobbi Morse is my ex-wife. We were only married for a year and three months. And before we were married, we only dated for about six months. Nat and Bobbi were always friendly, they even worked together for a few missions. Now Jessica is an ex-girlfriend. I dated her for about two years. I actually started dating Jessica before I went on the mission to take out Nat… and came back with her instead. And again, Natasha is friends with Jessica and has worked with her on missions before. I really don't know why Natasha is against them joining us."

Daisy burst out laughing "When Wanda and Natasha said you were hopelessly clueless… I thought they were exaggerating."

Clint pulled a face of complete confusion

"Look Clint, your relationship with Natasha is still brand new." Daisy began "You guys haven't even had your first fight yet last I heard… Although, allow me to be the one to welcome you into your first fight with Natasha as a couple. So let me explain this to you really clearly, you just told Steve -after Natasha said she didn't think it was a good idea- that YOU think it's a good idea for your EX-WIFE and EX-GIRLFRIEND whom you had exponentially longer relationships with, to come to the tower were you live, to test them to see if maybe they should join the Avengers and live here too."

Clint looked at Daisy, opening and closing his mouth slightly before stating, in a slight whine "Aw, shit… I'm gonna go and talk to her… Maybe don't call Bobbi and Jess? At least not until I clear things with Nat and she is ok with it."

"I won't. I didn't want to bring anyone in without at least the original six completely on board." Daisy smiled.

Clint returned the smile before getting up and heading out of the room and towards the elevator "Hey, J, where did Tash go?"

"Agent Romanoff is in the training center at the shooting range, Agent Barton." JARVIS responded nearly immediately.

"Thank you. Would you mind taking me there?" Clint asked as he leaned against the back wall of the elevator.

"Of course, Agent"

As soon as Clint got off the elevator, he could hear the gunshots ringing out through the entire floor. It was easy to find Natasha once he got to the shooting range- they had both taken a liking to the third stall because the targets always seemed to move quicker.

"What do you want, Clint" Natasha asked without looking at him as she reloaded her handgun.

"I want to talk about what happened back there, Nat. I thought you were friends with Bobbi and Jessica…" Clint spoke softly.

Natasha did not turn to look at him as she spoke "There is nothing much to talk about, Clint. I never said I wasn't their friend. I just simply stated that there is history there that might not be conducive to a team."

"I really don't understand what that means, Tash." Clint rubbed a hand over his face. "I mean you were always their FRIEND. I was the only one who ever screwed things up with either of them. I mean I was the reason that both of those relationships went to shit."

Natasha huffed out a laugh as she let loose another stream of bullets that never failed to hit their marks, no matter where the targets managed to pop up.

"What exactly is so funny?" Clint asked confusion evident in his voice.

"The fact that you still think Jessica and Bobbi blame you for how your relationships ended." Natasha responded bitingly, still refusing to look at him.

"Well, if they don't blame me… who do they blame?" Clint voice was raising slightly in volume unbeknownst to him and he was nearly shouting at this point.

Natasha whirled to face him and took a step so that she was right in front of him "Me, Clint!"

"Why in the hell would they blame you?" Clint was absolutely baffled.

Natasha let out a long sigh before she continued "You had been dating Jessica for nearly a year and a half when you brought me in. If you remember, there were a lot of rumors that went around SHIELD saying the only reason you brought me in instead of killing me was because we had sex. Jessica was one of the many people who believed the rumors. It took her until about a year after you two broke up to finally realize that nothing sexual was going on between me and you. And Bobbi.. well, Bobbi sorta resents me. She kind of blames me for your divorce. She says that if I had backed off when she got back after New York… you might have trusted her with more."

"Why didn't you ever tell me? I would have set things straight way sooner." Clint asked concern beginning to edge into his voice.

"Believe me, Clint. You saying something to them, would have only made things worse." Natasha shook her head.

Clint looked slightly confused before he continued "So, you don't want them to join the team because… of some misunderstanding?"

Natasha groaned as she turned and began shooting again. "Clint, you are so clueless."

"Then explain it to me."

"Clint, they're your exes. Your exes who thought I was trying to take you away from them. And look at us now. I'm now with you in that way. It's like I am proving them right…" Natasha paused as she reloaded her gun yet again "Not to mention I have to wonder how you would act being on the same team as the two women you partnered with before me and had major relationships with."

"Really, Nat? I never pictured you being the jealous type." Clint was smirking.

"Well, I'm not the jealous type. If I was the jealous type I would be jealous anytime another woman looked in your direction. But I have good reasons to be jealous of Jessica and Bobbi." Natasha said carefully as she emptied the last of her clip.

"What reasons would those be?" Clint raised an eyebrow as Natasha turned to face him yet again as she set her gun down.

"With Jessica it's just because she had this long relationship with you that- for the most part- took place before we knew each other. With Bobbi… well, she was married to you." Natasha bit her lip as she looked down at her feet.

"Why would you be jealous of the fact that Bobbi was married to me?" Clint scrunched his nose up in confusion.

Natasha groaned in frustration "Because, you've been saying ever since your divorce, that since that marriage was such a mess you didn't want to get married again." Natasha once again turned away from Clint as she began to rub her hands together nervously.

"And what does that matter? You don't want to get married either. You told me so yourself." Clint argued "You said ever since the KGB killed your husband when you were nineteen, that you just couldn't let yourself become attached to someone in that way."

"Yes… I did say that…" Natasha spoke carefully "But things can change…"

"What do you mean 'things can change'?" Clint began scrubbing his face with his hands "Tasha, do you or do you not want to get married ever again?"

"I don't know, Clint! I have no idea what I want!" Natasha yelled out in exasperation "All I know is that everything, all my feelings and emotions, have changed and evolved along with my relationship with you. You, Clint, you changed everything for me."

As Clint processed what she said, Natasha quickly walked away from the shooting range and towards the elevator, quietly telling JARVIS to take her to Tony and Pepper's floor.
