Chapter Twenty-Four: Consent and Gladly Give

The Avengers walk out of the building into the sweltering heat. All of them are tired and beaten and all they want to do is sleep for the rest of thr week. They look forwards and see something coming towards them. All exhausted, they turn to Bruce.

"Can you turn into the hulk and deal with that?" Tony asks. "Whatever that is."

Bruce squints his eyes and looks closer. "I don't think that's a threat."

All the men squint their eyes and look closer.

"Did we perish?" Thor questions.

"I think so." Clint says. "I see my wife in white and my daughter in a dress. Merida's in a real dress. Yup, we're dead."

The men stop in their spots and are mind-blown when they see their wives in dresses. Natasha in white and the other women in dark purple. Their little boys in black tuxedeos and matching dark purple bowties and the little girls in red dresses. The Avengers who just fought feel underdressed in their torn up uniforms covered in dirt and blood. Smiles approach thecir faces as they hear their kids complain about how it's too hot or there's nothing appealing to see.

"Natasha?" Clint questions as he runs up to them. "What's happening? What's going on?"

Natasha smiles brightly as Steve grabs Clint's arm.

"You're getting married." Steve whispers to him.

"Oh..." Clint mutters. His eyes open in realistion. "Oh!"

The other men join their wives and children as Clint looks back at Natasha. He laughs lightly as he looks at his daughter and his soon-to-be-wife. His two beautiful redheads.

"This is my dream come true so please don't judge me if I cry." Clint states.

Natasha holds out a black bowtie and hold it out to him.

"Clint," Natasha instructs, "take one end of this, wrap it around your hand, and hold it out to me."

They both wrap the ends of the bowtie around their hands and hold them out parallel to each other.

"What am I doing?" Clint asks confused about this whole process.

"As your told." Natasha replies. She turns to their little girl who stands beside them beaming with joy. "Since I have no parents, Merida say, 'I consent and gladly give.'"

Merida scrunches up her nose in confusion. "Give what?"

They all laugh.

"Just say it." Natasha tells her. "You're the daughter of the bride."

Merida fills up with excitement. "I consent and gladly give."

"Now Clint," Natasha says now facing him, "I was scared when our relationship starting evolving. You told me all your hopes and dreams and I couldn't fulfill them for you because of my background. I thought it over and realized that weddings are overrated. Everyone wants a big, fancy wedding and I don't. I kmow you can't stand tuxedos. So I decided to surprise you with my definition of marriage after your mission in the place that we can now remember the same way since we have different definitions of what happened in Budapest."

Clint absorbs her vows and tears spring into his eyes. He uses his free hand to wipe the tears from his eyes. He looks at his beautiful bride and places her head in his hand.

"Oh Natasha...I thought my life was over until you came into my life. I didn't care about your background and that's why I kept you for all this time. I knew that you wouldn't kill me; even if it was just for a second. You'd feel guilty...that's what makes you different. I know that I vented out to you that my dream was to have a lot of kids but I changed that. The wonderful woman standing in front of me was my new dream. So I'm going to ask you again, Natalia Alianivona Romanoff, will you marry me?"

Natasha, along with the others, are held speechless. Clint lightly rubs her cheek with his thumb. She nods her head estactically.

"You may kiss the bride." Natasha tells him.

"I'll make it a good one." Clint mutters.

She snickers. "You better."

They both lean in and kiss each other passionately. As they kissed, some of The Avengers and their wives shed a few tears. Some will never admit to have ever shed them in the first place but just ignore that and enjoy the moment. The kids turn away since adults kissing is deemed as gross - especially Merida since they're her own parents.

Clint and Natasha part and laugh in each others arms. The other adults and the kds cheer loudly. They finally got married. The newlyweds wrap heir arms around each other and embraced what would possibly be the best kiss on one of their most memorable days yet.

Fun Fact: the wedding was the first scene I wrote for this story.

No, this story isn't over yet. There's still one more chapter and then a sneak peek to my Steve x Peggy story of this.
