Natasha woke up on the 5th of November after a particularly good yet disturbing dream where she and Clint were kissing and then Thor turned into a rabbit and they had to return him to his owner who was Fury and Fury then transformed into Tony who was singing a song about Bruce.
She was still humming the Bruce song when she was getting changed and putting her hair into a ponytail. For a Tuesday, she was remarkably perky. It was the Bonfire Night Party tonight. There was a fireworks show, food and some 'fun' competitions. Natasha could only guess what superhero competitions were like.
Steve was eating a waffle drenched in honey when he saw Natasha, wearing her black skirt very short and a very tight white blouse. She looked even taller as she was swaying in black heels.
"Jesus Christ, have you seen Nat?" Clint said and Steve nodded.
"She looks..."
"Hot."
"Strange."
Natasha sat down and frowned. "Where are the others?"
"Uh Tony and Bruce are doing an experiment for extra credit. Thor is over there with Loki." Clint pointed to the drinks station where Thor was talking brightly to a grumpy Loki. "What's with the outfit?"
"This old thing?" Natasha grinned. "I thought that I should look um good." She suddenly brightened as a boy passed their table. He eyed her up then smirked, talking to his friend.
"Who the hell is that?" Clint demanded.
"Oh no-one. Logan." Natasha blushed. Clint looked furious and annoyed and jealous. She didn't mean to make him jealous; it was just...Logan.
"Logan? That's the Wolverine guy, right?" Steve asked. Natasha gave him a dirty look and Steve delved back into his waffles.
"Wolverine? Oh he is an absolute idiot. He smokes and drinks whiskey and he thinks he's so great." Clint glared.
"Yeah. That's Logan. He is so great." Natasha sighed. Clint opened his mouth to say something when Thor and Loki, dressed in the standard white shirt and black pants uniform, sat beside him.
"Good morning." Loki said then his eyes grew wide as he saw Natasha. "Romanoff, morning."
"Creep." Clint muttered. Loki grinned and clicked his fingers. Natasha's eyes flashed green and she smiled widely.
"Morning, Loki." she whispered and leant forward over the table, lips pursed...Clint slapped her and she reeled back. "Barton! What the hell!" Natasha hissed. Then she remembered and turned red. "Loki!"
Loki laughed. "Sorry, darling."
"Don't call me darling." Natasha snarled.
Thor looked embarrassed and sad. "Lady Natasha, I apologize on behalf of my brother. I will reprimand him later."
"It's fine, Thor." Natasha said quickly because Thor looked like he was going to cry. "Really. It's all fun and games."
Thor sighed in relief but when he looked away, Natasha stuck her finger up at Loki.
...
That night, Loki was waiting with his brother and Clint for Natasha to show up. "Don't insult her." Thor warned his brother.
"Why? Will you reprimand me?" Loki smirked.
"No. Natasha will tear you apart and I will burn your remains." Clint said. Loki was silent.
Clint grinned as Natasha walked up to them, dressed in black skinny jeans and a bright red sweater. "Hey."
"Hi." she said coolly. Ever since Halloween, she'd been treating him like she treated Tony - with relucant looks and hardly ever being private with him.
"You look nice."
"I'm going to find Logan." Natasha walked off. Clint sighed as Tony, Pepper, Bruce and Keira came walking up to them.
"Hi! Guys! we're going to the competitions! I mean fireworks get me really..." Bruce trailed off.
"Green?" Clint suggested. They all still had to see Bruce's other form after two months.
"Yeah." Tony said. He put his arm round Pepper. "Me and missus are off to competitions!"
"Don't call me missus and get off me, Stark." Pepper hissed. "Peter's got a cold. He couldn't come out." She said but Clint could hear something in her voice.
The others walked ahead but Clint stayed behind with Pepper. "It's stupid isn't it?" Pepper said after a minute's silence. "Peter, a superhero in training, has a cold. A cold!"
"I get colds."
"Yeah but he's being so annoying about it! Like 'oh Pepper I feel like I'm about to DIE'."
"Yeah that's kind of annoying."
"Right."
"If it makes you feel better, a couple of weeks ago, before Halloween, Tony felt sick one weekend and he was even more annoying. He kept demanding food and tissues and stuff and in the end, Thor was the only one who could look after him."
"Why? Why was Thor the only one?"
"He's used to dealing with assholes." Clint said. Then he grinned. "Loki."
Pepper laughed. "Yep."
"Come on, we'd better catch up with those guys."
...
Tony stared at Pepper. Her eyes were sparkling as she managed to shoot the apple off the top of the mannequin's head. She was wearing a red dress with black tights and boots.
"Hey, Stark!" someone waved at him. Tony turned round and saw Kat smiling at him. Kat who rejected him that first day.
"Oh hi Kat." he said, vaguely annoyed. Pepper was looking, he knew.
"Do you know where my boyfriend is?" Kat asked.
"Uhm, who is that?"
"Logan."
"Logan as in Wolverine?" Bruce asked. Kat nodded. "I saw him go into the picnic area with someone."
"Oh thanks!" Kat said cheerfully. Clint stared at Bruce.
"Who was that somebody?"
"Natasha." Bruce said. "Why?"
They all ran to the picnic area, Bruce yelling 'why' behind them. They reached there as Kat did. Natasha was kissing Logan on a bench. "Nat!" Clint yelled as Kat shrieked "Logan!"
Natasha leapt up, blushing. "Uh! Logan! I am sorry! So sorry, Kat! I didn't know." Kat stormed out and Logan followed, yelling apologies.
Tony smirks at her. "Logan, eh?"
"Oh shut up Stark." Clint and Natasha said at the same time. Natasha glared at him.
"Well..." Bruce hovered awkwardly until Keira pulled him away. "Let's go, Bruce."
Pepper did the same to Tony with a small smile. "Hey, Tony, I'm sure you can but how about you try to beat me at a laser shooting contest." she said and Tony looked excited.
Thor dragged Loki away quickly. "Come, brother, let us find Lady Jane."
"Is she your girlfriend?" Loki asked loudly.
"Shush, Loki. No she is not. But I wish she would be. I shall ask her on a date." Thor said.
"We've heard that before." Loki said.
Clint looked at Natasha. "Uh, Nat?"
She said something in Russian and then walked away. Clint closed his eyes and swore.
Ah sorry for all the Clintasha. I'll be doing all my pairings in a chapter each. Like next chapter is Ironpepper and then Bruce/Keira.
