That same night the three girls on the team met in Natasha's room for girl's night after a satisfying meal of Thai food. They were planning on sleeping in there too so they were all dressed and ready for bed. The main Avengers rooms were a little different in the way that they had T.V.'s and couches in them on top of everything else.
"So what are we doing tonight?" Wanda asked
"I was thinking talking, gossiping, and watching bad movies." Natasha replied, she was surprisingly girly once you got her alone and she warmed up to you.
"By bad movies you mean..?"
"Rom-coms and chick flicks." She said with a smirk as they all laughed.
"Let's start with junk food and gossip because I have some serious questions." Elena stated, the other two nodded seriously before Natasha left. She returned with three tubs of ice cream, Double Fudge Brownie for Wanda, Cookie Dough for Elena and Peanut Butter Fudge Crunch for Herself. The ice cream was passed around and the gossip started.
"So you've only ever had one boyfriend and that was Vision for like a month before he was destroyed?" Elena asked
"Yeah well, I'd like to see you try and date with Pietro hanging over your shoulder."
"Why don't you let me set you up with someone?" Natasha asked
"Maybe, it depends on the prospects."
"Pick anyone from the SHIELD database and I can swing it. That goes for you too Elena."
"Yeah, I'm good in the romance department."
"What does that mean?" Wanda inquired
"I don't want to be set up, I'm happy how I am right now."
"Okay then..." Natasha stated not detecting a lie because there wasn't one in what Elena said.
"How about you Nat, are you and Clint still happy together?" Wanda asked
"Yeah..."
"What?"
"Nothing, I think he wants to propose to me."
"How long have you two been together?" Elena was genuinely curious
"About 10 years."
"And you're still not sure if you want to spend the rest of your life with him?" Wanda seemed baffled
"It's not that, it's just... I don't know if I can be a wife. What if we get married and I make a terrible wife?"
"You just heard yourself right?" Wanda smirked
"I think what Wanda was trying to say was: you won't be a terrible wife because you basically already are his wife."
"Yeah, but after marriage comes kids..."
"So you don't want to get married because you don't know if you'll make a good mother?" Wanda asked
"Maybe..."
"Well you don't need to have kids right away. You could talk to Clint about this and see what he thinks." Wanda tried to figure out Natasha's logic
"I think the fact that you already worry about it means that you'll make a great mother." Elena reassured
"Think that all you want." Natasha muttered
"Why don't we change the subject?" Elena suggested
"Fine, so how's the sex?"
"What?!" Natasha and Elena exclaimed
"What? I'm curious and I won't be getting any anytime soon because of my twin, might as well live vicariously through Nat since I'm pretty sure you're not getting any either."
"The sex is great, now another change in subject." Wanda frowned but picked up one of the movies they had lying aside.
"Movie?"
"Sure." The other two girls answered. After the first movie Wanda looked at Natasha and asked a question that was obviously bothering her.
"Why haven't you and Clint gotten married before now or talked about it at the very least?"
"We used to talk about it but neither of us was ready. Haste is waste and all that. He would always say that he didn't want to ruin our relationship and I would say that I didn't want the weakness. We stopped talking about it 5 years ago and that's why it bothers me now. We're both ready so I have to wait until he gets the balls to ask me."
"Well that's interesting... How about we watch Grease next?"
"Okay!" Natasha seemed overly excited about that and the other two raised their eyebrows. The red head simply shrugged and pointed to the disk and T.V.
They spent the night talking and laughing. Elena couldn't remember the last time she'd had that much fun without Tony present. She debated suggesting a team fun night but then realized that Thor would take it too seriously and order everyone to be there and have fun while Bucky would avoid it at all costs. That's what had happened with the quad weekly team dinners. She didn't want a repeat of that because it was a pain to have secret dates with Tony with those, with team fun night it would be damn near impossible.
They finally got tired around 2am and settled down for bed. When the Elena knew the other two girls were asleep she snuck out to the living room area to check with JARVIS.
"JARVIS, did Tony go to bed yet?"
"Not yet Mrs. Hartley. He shows no signs of intending to do so either."
"Is he still in the lab?"
"Yes."
"Is he alone?"
"Yes, Dr. Banner went to bed hours ago."
"Can you tell him that I'm sending him to bed and if he doesn't comply I'm going to start a celibacy stint?"
"Of course Mrs. Hartley." If Elena didn't know any better she would say that she detected a hint of amusement in the AIs answer but she brushed it off and went back to bed. Down in the lab JARVIS delivered the message.
"Sending me to bed with a threat is she? Well then, if I didn't know she would follow through I would hold a protest and stay up just to spite her. JARVIS, to my floor please?" He stated as he stepped into the elevator. He smiled at the thought of her chastising him through an AI while the other two girls were asleep in the next room.
