"Well, I was born in Brooklyn. My parents were Irish-"
There was a small crash outside as the door burst open and the rest of the avengers burst in, Tony in the lead.
"Story time?"
He threw himself on the bed next to Steve and Clint, Bruce and Thor followed. Steve rolled his eyes but continued to speak.
"As I was saying, my parents were Irish. Sarah and Joseph, the most incredible people. I didn't know my dad, he passed away when I was a little kid. My mom however was with me for a while."
Natasha pulled herself into Steve's lap and held his hand.
"She raised me to be extremely catholic. But when I was a teenager she got pneumonia and passed away. I was sent to an orphanage and that's where I met Bucky. He actually reminds me a lot of Clint. One of a kind. We grew up together, he was definitely the more outgoing one out of the two of us. When we got older he was the one getting all the girls and going out to parties and dragging me along with him against my will."
Clint and Tony chuckled as Natasha snuggled further into Steve.
"Then the war happened and Bucky was gone. I tried but the army wouldn't take me. I was too little and frail until I became the Super Soldier. That's around the time I met Stark and Peggy."
Tony looked up at the mention of his father.
"they were incredible people. Anyways after that I pretty much just went around with a bunch of show girls 'boosting morale'. Until I had to boost the morale of the army and I heard that Bucky had been taken. Peggy and Stark helped me get to the soldiers and save them. Even in a daze Bucky was still a humerous ass. After getting to safety I assembled my team and we started to really fight. It was going well until we lost Bucky. Everything fell apart that day but we had to keep fighting. I guess the next big event was crashing the plane into the ice. Next thing I know I'm no longer in the 40s and Fury is asking me to help save the world. It was quite a change but I've got to admit I met some pretty amazing people."
Tony pretended to wipe his fake tears and Bruce smacked him over the head. Steve looked to Natasha and everyone understood that it was her turn to talk.
"I was born in Stalingrad, Russia. To be honest I don't remember much about my parents. I recall my father and I playing in the snow and baking with my mom. I was their little princess. But then everything turned to flames. My house was burning and we were all inside but there was a man, Ivan Petrovitch. He got me out of the house, but he didn't even try to get my parents out. He just let me watch as my house burned down and the screams of my parents suddenly stopped. They were screaming for me. Their Natalia Romanova."
Steve ran his finger through Natasha's hair, letting her know that he was there for her.
"Ivan took me to department x where I was pretty much brainwashed. It was there where I became a part Red Room and the Black Widow Ops. They gave me fake memories to make sure that I stayed loyal. There they made all the girls fight against each other, sometimes to the death. They made us prove ourselves to everyone. That includes sexually. I made my first kill at age eight, When I was 19 I married Alexi Shostakov, he was a soviet test pilot. We were married for a little over 3 years before he was made to fake his own death and became the Red Guardian."
All but Clint looked up in alarm. The red guardian had definetly been on S.H.I.E.L.D's radar.
"I was made into the Black Widow right after his death, I received the super soldier serum when I was about 22. Several years after that I discovered that everything Red Room had told me was a lie. I was never a ballerina, my parent's death was not an accident, Alexi was not dead. I left Red Room and began fighting on my own, I shut down after that and the red I collected on my ledger was…"
It was obvious she had no words so she moved on. Clint noticed her getting pale and he grabbed the trash can next to the bed and pulled it over to Natasha.
"It was almost 20 years after that when S.H.I.E.L.D stepped in to get rid of me. KGB tried to kill me before the Americans got to me but they weren't successful. Clint was sent to kill me but he didn't. He had me cornered and instead of ending it there, he simply stretched out his hand and offered me a new life, and I took it. He made me his responsibility and in no time we were working together. We worked together for 5 years before we started any relationship. I think it was 2004 when we started but it ended 4 years later. Ive been working for S.H.I.E.L.D and now the Avengers. My days at Red Room however were the most terrible days, not only because of what they did to me-"
She had to stop to take a big breath, she was a lot more pale. Clint handed her the trashcan which cause everyone to look confused and slightly worried.
"it was terrible because of what I happily did, I took lives and I enjoyed it, I took pride in it."
That was all she was able to say before she began vomiting into the trashcan. Instead of getting away lke many people would the Avengers tried to comfort her and rushed to figure out what was happening. Clint explained that Red Room made it so that if she tried to remember anything from her past, she would react badly. After some vomiting she blacked out for about 10 minutes. When she woke up she was on the couch laying on Steve's lap. They were watching Mulan. She was worried that they would treat her differently but Tony simply handed her some popcorn and kept his eyes glued to the screen. Steve looked at her tenderly and kissed her forehead. Tony interrupted the cute moment.
"we should go to Disney World. Jarvis book a trip to Disney world for a week. Lets leave on Sunday."
Everyone looked at Tony since he didn't even ask if they wanted to go but decided to not say anything since it would probably be best to let him have his way. They continued watching Disney movies until Bruce realized he was the only one still awake. He turned off the tv and fell asleep in no time. Thor's cries of delight woke them all up. Natasha was up aiming a gun at the kitchen in a second. Thor's smile fell until Natasha lowered her gun and he pointed at the poptarts that were not burnt.
"I have finally made the pop tarts!"
Tony clapped and joined Thor at the kitchen counter.
"So Disney Word, we leave Sunday at 3 so I say we leave the house around noon, we'll be staying for a week. I can promise you my friends it will be a night you will never forget, and maybe if we get crazy some of you may not remember."
Natasha sat down next to Tony grabbing his mug of coffee from him.
"last time you said that to me you nearly blew up one of your houses."
"but you had fun didn't you oh fiery one? You have 3 days to be fully healed so we can go crazy."
She rolled her eyes and grabbed one of the poptarts that Thor was happily offering. Natasha and Tony were bickering as Steve stood behind Natasha with his arms wrapped around her waist and his chin resting on her shoulder. Bruce handed out coffee as he talked with Thor and Clint. They ate their breakfast together. When Pepper Potts walked in she notices how at ease everyone in the room felt. The playful banter filled the room. The ticking time bomb had turned into a real family without even realizing it.
