Emily's P.O.V:

I look at the empty bed, mesmerized by last night's actions. I stretched brushing my arms against the bed's fabric and felt a piece of paper. I got up to read the note that Tony had left.

Ems, I got up early to work with Bruce. I also took the liberty of making this room our room now that I noticed you took over the closet and bathroom. I know our work schedule is tight these two days, I squeezed a few hours for lunch. Also, study hard and I don't mind you pranking the guys with your magic.

Love;

Your Philanthropist

I smile at the note Tony left and got dressed minutes after. Today I had to practice my magic, try to connect with my brother and cousin's powers, and to make sure my spells don't backfire before sundown. In annoyance towards my work, I drag myself to the kitchen to see Steve cooking the team breakfast. The rest arrived after Steve finished with cooking. "Good morning guys," I said.

"Why good morning lady Emily," Thor said, "Did your wound heal?" He's talking about yesterday's incident.

"I'm okay, Thor," I smiled.

"I was going to ask if you guys would like to help me with my magic. Billy wants to see progress, and I need someone else's memories to do so," I explained. "It's okay if you say no, I already know about your past encounters with magic. I just don't want Billy giving me extra work."

The team exchanged concerned looks when I asked them to be my magical guinea pigs. They kept quiet for a long while until Thor spoke on their behalf. "We'll be glad to assist you with your magical responsibilities," He yelled with excitement.

Clint scratched the back of his head. "I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea as long as no one is mind controlled."

"I won't cross that line, first because I don't know how and secondly because I believe taking the rights of another is repulsing."

"I'm glad we are on the same page," Barton smirked. "What do you need from us?"

"I only need to practice a few spells like stopping time, making someone tell the truth, and finding their true love. They are only the basic at least that's what Billy said." I replied. "You can refuse to participate if the spell makes you uncomfortable."

"I think this is going to be fun," Romanov smirked. "Let's get to it, I know how agent Terrell can be when you fail an assignment."

"Then you four follow me." I went to the common room and took the notebook I had with spells. Billy had told me to write them and test them out. I hope they don't backfire on me. I open the notebook and said:

Time stand still, I order you. Don't return until I'm through. Let this be a moment to learn and feel. Time stand still, don't dare to move.

I held the team's hand and saw how everything around us froze. I squealed with delight knowing my first spell was a success. The others were amazed at what I did. "Okay, who's first?" I said.

They all started to panic. "Why don't we let the eldest to go first, it seems fear to let the elderly go through everything," Clint said.

"What?" Steve yelled. "Why do I have to go first?"

"All we are saying that you and Thor should go first, there is no harm in that," Natasha said.

Steve rolled his eyes and made a gesture for me to continue. "What spell do you want me to use? It's only one per person, and I only have three." I said. "Are you two okay with the truth spell?" They nodded. I held their hands and said:

Open heart, no truth entwined. Open your heart, leave no lie behind.

"Did it work?" Natasha said. "Will they tell the truth?"

"For the next five minutes, yes," I said. "Ask them anything."

Natasha's evil grin reached from ear to ear. She looked like she wanted revenge. "One of you two ate my favorite chocolate cake three weeks ago. Who did it?"

"I ate the cake of chocolate," Thor said. His eyes were wide in shock. He covered his mouth to prevent from talking for the last four minutes of the spell.

"Why?"

Thor couldn't fight the urge to tell the truth. "I wanted to try another Midgardian sweets." He covered his mouth again preventing from speaking again. I giggle at Thor's attempts to shut up.

"I got the information I needed. Now, it's Captain's turn." Natasha's grin was still there.

"Two minutes," I said.

"Okay, my turn," Hawkeye said. "Cap, have you ever danced, alone, to any recent music hits of the century... Naked?"

Steve was holding the urge to talk. He began to sweat, and blood came out from a corner of his lips. "Yes, I dance to Old Time Rock and Roll just like the actor in the movie," He said. "It seemed funny and tried it out. Then I started dancing it just like in the movie every free time I could find."

Tears were fighting to run through my cheeks. I try to hold the laugh just like everyone else, but this confession was too much. "How do you guys even know these things?"

"We find out secrets for a living Emily, you just made it easier for us to confirm our investigation," Natasha said. "But this, this is comedy gold. I never expected Cap to dance to Old Time Rock and Roll. When Tony finds out."

"No, whatever happens here stays here. The last thing I need is to hear Tony gloat about the pranks he did to Steve before I go to sleep." I said. "Anyway, time's up," I said. "Okay, who's next?

"I'll go," Clint raised his hand and sat in front of me. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to get a premonition from you. If that's okay." I said. He nodded in agreement. We both held hands. I took deep breaths for a minute. Suddenly I saw an image of Clint with a wife and three kids. One of them was a newborn, and the other two were soon to be pre-teens. He's married, and he has such a beautiful baby boy. Then another image appeared where Clint was mind controlled; he was shooting arrows killing those around him. I force my eyes opened and tried to catch my breath.

"Ems, what's wrong?" Clint said. "What did you see?"

I regained my composure quickly. "I saw a Mrs. Barton in the future and a beautiful baby. Clint, be careful on your next mission. Someone will try to control you again and will make you kill those around you." I explained. "I fear that it's connected with my first premonition."

"I'll be careful then, and we'll talk about the Mrs. Barton later. I want to know exactly what you saw." He said and went to Steve's side. "I guess, it's Natasha's turn."

"Only you and I will be the only ones to see this," I explained. "This will tell us who your soulmate is. It's something similar to what my uncle did for Billy. Ready?" She nodded, and I said:

If there be a perfect match, let her find it with no fight. Give me now the answer we seek. Find her love so strong and free.

In an instant, a green image appeared in front of us. She was confused. "Why are you smiling, all I see is a green blob," She said. I squealed with excitement when the image cleared to me. Bruce and Natasha are soulmates!

I hug her immediately, and it made her uncomfortable. "Oh my god, I can finally hook him up with someone," I yelled. "Everything makes sense, though. How could I be so blind?"

"What are you talking about?" She said.

"You and Bruce are soulmates," I whispered for her to hear.

Her eyes were wide in shock at the revelation but didn't fight it. After this, I broke the time spell, and everything was moving. The team was amazed at all that I did. Steve begged me to erase everyone's memory, but I still couldn't do that. I made fun of him for a while, though. Later I confronted Clint about his wife, and he told me that he married her before becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He made me promise to keep quiet since she was a secret. Natasha never came to me asking about Bruce, though. I guess she was already flirting with him.

An hour passed, and everyone left to their daily routines. I felt I had made new friends, especially Thor being the magical one in the team. We talked for, at least, another hour. He told me about Asgard, his mother, his brother, and all his adventures he had in the Nine Realms. All those stories were amazing, most of them matching the mythology I've studied with my family years ago.

At lunch time, Tony arrived and took me to his favorite shawarma place. We both ordered the Iron Man special. After ordering, I stood with Tony in the waiting line telling him about the possibility of competing with a new couple. I continued talking about the success I had today, trying not to spoil any details. Once we had our order, we sat in a corner of the restaurant and continued our conversation.

I look at the couple who arrived at the shop. They seemed happily married. The family had a five-year-old son and another kid on the way. She was four months along, just like I would be right now. I look at Tony, and he was staring at the couple with a torn look in his eyes. Finishing up my food, I rush out of the restaurant trying to catch my breath. I was reliving all the torture, pain, and death that happened during my kidnap. Seconds later, Tony rushed to my side. My breathing normalizes as the warmth of his embrace calms me down. "I'm sorry, Tony. It was all my fault I lost him." I cried. "I want my baby back,"I whispered the last words.

"It's not your fault, stop saying it is," Tony said.

"I'm sorry, I'm pulling you out of your comfort zone." I joked, trying to feel better.

He smiled. "Look, I'm not going to be the best guy to deal with emotions. I know I'll be a horrible dad, given the best role model I had," His tone was harsh when he mentioned his dad. "I will mess up our relationship, but I will do anything to make you happy, and I don't like it when you keep blaming yourself when you lost our kid. We will have our bundle of joy, but you'll need time to heal. It's what junior would have wanted." He places a hand on my stomach.

I kissed him. He was right, I had to stop blaming myself. I break the kiss and stare at his beautiful chocolate eyes. "I wish it could be easier," I sobbed quietly. "It'll take time for me to accept what happened."

Tony and I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to keep my mind off the miscarriage. We went to the mall, to a carriage ride, and then for yogurt. The truth is I was I couldn't forget anything. Each time we passed the store, we would end up looking at baby clothes.

When we arrived at the tower, it was already eight o'clock. We saw everyone's worried looks. Instantly, Tony made jokes about the silence in the room. Meanwhile, I poured myself a cup of coffee trying to stay awake to keep studying tonight. "Guys, why are you so quiet?" I said.

They looked at each other. "You two should sit down," Natasha said.

I didn't. "What happened?" Tony said.

"Jarvis, show Tony today's news headline," Natasha said. Natasha handed the tablet with the headline. Our eyes grew wide with what we saw.

"BIG NEWS! TONY STARK'S MYSTERY GIRL IS REVEALED AND PREGNANT!"
