DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!
Natasha found Kagome looking out one of the large windows that framed the hall way. Surprised by the fact that she had no left the floor but chose to stay so close to the door that lead in to the room where Tony was. She walked up to Kagome, standing beside her. Kagome looked at Natasha out of the corner of her eye. "Why stay Kagome?"
Kagome let out a sigh, "Because no matter how much it hurts or how hard he fights it, he needs someone who is not afraid to get burned." Natasha turned to look at the girl…no woman who stood beside her, "And Pepper can't do that job?"
Kagome gave a slight laugh before looking over at Natasha, "No matter how much I love Peps there one thing that she can't do and that would be letting herself get burned purposely. That and the fact that Tony loves her too much to lash out at her like he did me." Natasha raised an eyebrow at what Kagome said, realizing that it was true. Tony needed someone who was willing to get burned by the genius's silver tongue now more than ever, with Steve staying here things where going to get tense between the two.
Kagome's head turned towards the door when she heard the muffled voices getting louder. Looking over at Natasha who had also turned to look at the door, smiling she gave a light chuckle. "Looks like we need to break it up." Natasha gave a smile and walked to the door with Kagome.
"Man of Iron you should not lash out at one such as her." Thor's voice broke the glaring match the Rhodey and Tony had started. Thor did not like how his new comrade was treating such a Holy person.
"She can take it Thor, that's why she's here is it not? To take the beating, I'm just putting it to good use." Tony sneered the last part as he looked at Rhodey, who Pepper was currently behind.
"Stark that is no excuse to hurt someone especially one who you consider a friend." Steve rose from where he was sitting to walk over to where Tony stood.
"Cap has a point man she was only here to check on my head wound and get her stuff, she wasn't here to get in to a fight with you." Everyone looked over at Clint not surprised that Banner had move from where he was sitting beside Clint, to the far end of the room to try and calm down. Yet they were surprised to find that Natasha was nowhere near the Hawk let alone in the room. Tony's eyes hardened.
"Wow you haven't even known her for a complete twenty four hours and you're already defending her, do I hear wedding bells in the air Legolas, should we be concerned that Nat is no longer in the room with us?" Clint's eyes widened slightly before narrowing at the man who was across the room. "Watch your tongue Stark."
"Stark you need to apologize to Ms. Higurashi, Clint and Natasha that was uncalled for" Tony just ignored Steve and turned his head to look back at Rhodey with a cruel smirk playing on his lips. "You hear that Rhodey you girls about to be stole from you again, this time by a bird, which is surprising considering how often she consorts with dogs, she could be considered one." Everyone's eyes widened when Rhodey's fist connected with Tony's nose.
Kagome and Natasha walking in just as Tony's fist was flying towards Rhodey, faster than Natasha thought possible, Kagome was in front of Rhodey, everyone froze, Tony's eyes widened as he saw her, no matter how angry he was at her he did not want to hit her with the punch but it was too late to pull back. Kagome caught the fist just inches away from her face, with a smirk she dropped the fist "You didn't think that would actually hit me did you Tony?"
