Tony POV:
"F.R.I.D.A.Y., produce more of these antidotes and notify me when there done." I say. I just made more of the red mist and now part one of our plan is finished.
"Of course, Boss." She says.
I go and find Natasha still sleeping on the couch, I push her shoulder softly, to wake her up. She opens her eyes slowly and looks at me and smiles, even waking up she's beautiful, I think.
"I have good news, Nat!" I say excitedly.
"Are you going to tell me before or after breakfast?" She asks, arching her eyebrow.
"Before, it's very important to our mission." I say and her eyes widen in excitement. "I was able to create more of that antidote you sent me for mind-control, I have F.R.I.D.A.Y. making more in the lab!" I say and she jumps up and hugs me.
"That's so great, Tony. I know you'd be able to do it!" She says and kisses me.
"Now, how about some breakfast?" I ask and we head to the kitchen. She goes to the freezer grabs a bucket of cookie dough ice cream and starts eating from the carton.
"Is that really a good breakfast, Nat?" I say, trying to stifle a laugh.
"I don't really care, I've just had a craving for sweets lately." She says and shrugs her shoulders.
"I think we're having the avengers and your family here today, to discuss the next step." I say and she looks at me, suppressing a groan. "You know we're going to have to introduce them."
"Uh, if I introduce Papa to Steve, that's just going to end up being horrible!" She says and rolls her eyes.
"I don't think it would be that bad, Nat, I mean, don't you want to see Steve being confused and trying to be polite to Alexi about not remembering him!" I ask and laugh.
"But they haven't even met before, Papa was just making that up!" She says.
"Even better! I have to tell Clint, he'll get a laugh out of this!" I say and she laughs.
"Whatever, when will they be here?" She asks.
"I scheduled the meeting for 4:00 pm. It's 12 right now." I say and her eyes widen.
"You let me sleep in till 12!" She says surprised.
"Oh come on, you looked so cute on the couch, I didn't want to disturb you!" I say smiling, she looks at me seriously and then rolls her eyes.
"Okay, I'm going to go check up on F.R.I.D. , you take a shower, I can smell you from here." I say and wave my hand in front of my face. She glares at me and I have to duck really quick, avoiding the spoon she throws at me.
"Out dvukolka, before I throw more than a spoon at you!" She says, and I go to my lab really quick. I wonder what she called me though, I think.
I work on the antidotes and design grenades and dart guns to hold the powder. After a while I spend some time on a new suit I'm designing.
I'm going over the schematics with F.R.I.D.A.Y., when the doorbell rings. I look at my watch and it's 4:10, well, I lost track of time, I think.
I hurry upstairs to the front door and it's Nat's family. Plus Steve and Clint, he probably tagged along with him on purpose, I think, smiling.
Alexi has Steve in a shoulder hug, telling him of his "glory" days and I see Clint looking absolutely kiddish, smirking like a madman, while Steve looks very uncomfortable.
Natasha comes out of the bedroom and shows Melina and Yelena the house; after a while, all the Avengers finally show up.
I show them to the living room and we all sit down.
"As you all know, from the previous meeting, Natasha has a family from Russia. Some of you already might have met them," I say and look at Steve smirking and I him groan. " But, this is Alexi, the Red Guardian, Melina, the one who will help with a lot of the mission since she designed most of it herself, and Yelena, Nat's little sister but also a pretty good fighter, equivalent to Nat." I say and Yelena beams with pride and Nat hugs her.
"Okay, now Alexia, Melina, and Yelena, I'll introduce the Avengers. Steve is the Super Soldier but also the leader of this band, Thor is the God of Thunder." I say and he smiles, he stands up and says; "Hello, Lady Stark's family, it is my pleasure to fight alongside you on this daring adventure" He says, his voice booming, he sits back down and motions for me to continue.
"Okay, Bruce is missing, but he's the Hulk, which is a real shame because this would be a little easier with him here.
This is Sam, he is the Falcon, he can fly with his wings and his little strange mechanical pet, Redwing.
This is Barnes, he has a metal arm, and can pack one heck of a punch, and he also has the super soldier serum.
This is Wanda, also known as the Scarlet Witch. She can control minds and lift things with her magic, while also being able to shoot red mist balls from her hand." I say and Wanda glares at me and I shrug, smirking.
"This is Vision, he is a synthezoid made entirely of Vibranium, and can go through things, shut lasers out of his head, and is very strong. And I might add, someone's boyfriend." I say shooting a look between him and Wanda, she blushes and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat.
"This is Rhodey, my honeybear." I say and he rolls his eyes at the nickname. "But you can also call him War Machine if you want too, anyway he has a suit just like me, except mine is way better.
This is Scott, he has a suit which can make him shrink and can make him really tall, if necessary.
And this is our beloved birdbrain, Clint. His marksman skills are always on target but he decides to use medieval weapons, and chooses to use a bow and arrow instead." I say and Clint laughs.
"Any questions about either party?" I ask and everyone shakes their head. "Okay then, let's discuss the plan that we've come up with already. Nat and Melina would wear the Nano mask, to pretend to be each other. Melina would then be put into a cell and be able to break herself, Alexia and Yelena out since she designed them herself, while Nat would be led to his office to get information about the other girls out there.
Then one we have the information we need, the Avengers can storm into the base and take out Dreykov and end the Red Room." I say and everyone nods.
I order takeout and we all eat. Nat is talking to Melina, when her face pales and she rushes out of the room really quickly to the bedroom. I get up to follow her but Melina follows her instead.
Natasha POV:
We're all eating takeout, but I touch my food barely, not feeling that well. Me and mama are talking about me and Tony when all of the sudden, my stomach lurches and I rush to the bathroom real quick. I empty out my breakfast and sit down on the floor, when mama comes in.
"Are you okay, doch'?" She ask.
"Yeah, I just haven't been feeling that well lately." I say and she nods understandingly.
"Have you've been vomiting a lot lately?" She asks and I nod tiredly.
"Have you been craving stuff you don't really eat?" She asks and my eyes go wide, how did she know this stuff? I think. I nod slowly.\
"Have you maybe considered that you're pregnant?" She asks and I just stare at her in shock.
Tony POV:
I go to my lab really quick, rushing to get some privacy.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y., check Nat for any illnesses or anything that isn't normal from her original scan." I say.
"Right away, Boss." She says and begins the scan.
"Mrs. Stark is perfectly healthy, Boss. Although, there is one thing different from her original scan I took before." She says.
"What is that, F.R.I.D.A.Y.?" I ask curiously.
"It appears, Boss, that Mrs. Stark is pregnant." She says and I go still for a second holding my breath.
"What was that, F.R.I.D.A.Y.?" I ask, perhaps I misheard, I think.
"It appears, Boss, that when I scan Mrs. Stark, there are now two life forms detected, therefore, she is indeed pregnant." She says.
I hear glass drop and I turn around really fast, and see Clint with wide open eyes and soda bottles on the ground broken.
"Crap!" We both say in unison.
Natasha POV:
She guides me to the bedroom and we sit on the bed. \
"I can't be a mother! What if I just end up like my biological mother, she abandoned me? What's to say that I won't do the same!" I say coming out of shock and freaking out.
"There's something I have to tell you, Natasha." She says calmly and I look up at her and while she rubs my shoulder soothingly.
"Your mother didn't abandon you. You were selected by a program that assessed the genetic potential in infants." She says and I look at her in shock.
"I was taken?" I ask, shocked.
"I believe a bargain was struck, your family paid off. But your mother, she never stopped looking for you. She was like you in that way. She was relentless." She says fondly, looking at me.
"What happened to her?" I say, my voice breaking.
She hesitates and then says; "Dreykov had her killed.", I close my eyes, trying to hold in the tears.
"Her existence threatened to uncover the Red Room. Normally, the actions of one curious civilian wouldn't warrant an execution, but, as I said, she was relentless." She says and hugs me.
"I thought about her every day of my life." I say, crying. "Whether or not I admitted it to myself, I did."
"I've always found it best not to look into the past, because it only brings unwanted pain." She says soothingly. "But for those three years I was your mother, I loved it, I cherish those years. I still look back at it today, because those are the three years I was truly happy, with you, Yelena, and Alexi, our little family." She says, she looks at me and smiles comfortingly.
"I know I'm not your biological mother, and I was only there for three years, but to me, you are my world, my daughter, and that will always be so." She says and hugs me tighter.
"Thank you, Mama. You'll always be my mother." I say and hug her.
"And it doesn't matter if your mother did abandon you, I know you have a big heart and you're full of kindness, those are good qualities in a mother, so I know you'll be great." She says and I just sit down with mama, forgetting the whole week.
Right now, it's just me and my mother sitting in comfortable silence.
