Dinner consisted of Thor shoving food into his mouth and Tony complaining about the lack of alcohol. As soon as they got home they all instinctively sat on the couch in the same positions that they sat in back in the avenger's tower. Bruce sat on the love seat with a book Tony sat on the end of the couch with his legs sticking out and resting on the arm of Bruce's chair. Thor sat on the other end of the couch, Natasha was squeezed between him and Steve with Clint resting against her legs on the floor. They watched some more Disney movies per Thor's request. Bruce and Clint were the first to go shortly followed by Steve and lastly Tony. Thor and Natasha were bored but not tired. Natasha suddenly smirked and got up, Thor followed her. They left a note and were out the door in a minute.
"Lady Natasha, I wish to know where we are going at midnight."
"we're fairly good friends right Thor?"
"Of course we are Lady Tasha. In fact you and our teammates are some of my dearest friends"
Natasha shared one of her rare soft smiles with Thor.
"Well as friends, I do believe it's perfectly normal for us to go out for some drinks."
She grabbed his arm and dragged him to a small bar.
"Clint and I came here a few years back, its family owned. We were undercover as a newlywed couple. So if they recognize me, the story is that Clint cheated on me and we divorced. You and I are visiting to celebrate 1 year of being together. We should probably change your name, how about Chris?"
Thor looked shocked that she was so sure of herself but he smiled and nodded and followed her inside the bar. As soon as they sat a young man's face lit up as he approached them.
"Natalie! It's so nice to see you once again!"
Natasha got up and hugged the young man.
"Bobby! I can't believe that you remember me"
The young boy waved over the other people working there, the table was soon surrounded. Seems like Natasha had charmed them all the last time she was there.
"Where's your husband? Is Peter somewhere around?"
An older lady eyed Thor suspiciously but was obviously pleased with what she saw. Natasha looked down at her hands and she looked obviously upset. Thor hand immediately rested on Natasha's back, he looked concerned.
"He's not around anymore. I'm afraid we've fallen into the stereotype of young couples, I had to file for divorce 3 years back, only one year of marriage and he-"
She took a convicing deep breath and wiped a tear away from her face.
"He got sick of me, I walked in on him with our new neighbor. We had just bought a new house and we were talking about children but I guess I just wasn't enough."
Thor took a look around an could see that every person there had bought her story and were looking at her with sympathy, the elderly woman had tears in her eyes.
"I honestly thought I would never find love again, but a little over a year ago I met Chris here and he swept me off my feet. We've been dating for exactly a year today."
They received congratulations. Thor smiled causing several women to swoon. The elder woman looked at her husband and smiled.
"Well, drinks are on us. Young man you better treat this beautiful lady like the princess she is. I'll leave you be."
Natasha shot back her drinks like they were nothing. Both Thor and Natasha giggled when she ordered a Sex with the Captain. They both continued to drink, the alcohol was clearly taking effect, more so on Natasha than Thor. Back at the house Tony went downstairs and saw Natasha's note.
Went out with Thor- Nat
They all heard a very audible 'those bastards!' coming from the kitchen and raced downstairs. Steve looked at the clock. 5:47 am. He had noticed that Natasha was not in bed with him and he now noticed that she was not down here either.
"What's wrong Tony?"
Bruce waited for Tony to answer, he was the only one with enough patience to talk to Tony this early in the morning.
"Those bastards went out without me!"
As if on cue, the door burst open and a laughing Thor entered the room with Natasha thrown over his shoulder. She was babbling and laughing. Steve stepped forwards accepting Natasha from Thor and leading them both onto the couch.
"Thor had a sex with the captain!"
Natasha burst into a new round of giggles and Steve turned red. Tony, Clint and Thor all laughed as well. She continued to talk.
"I had a finger me good, remember those Clint?"
Tony was clutching his side laughing and Clint nodded.
"Hard to forget Tash, I mean I am an archer. I have to be good with my fingers."
"I mean the drink you Jackass"
Clint apologized to Steve and sat down laughing at Natasha's pink face.
"Nat, why don't we go to bed? You look like you could use some sleep. You too Thor."
Thor followed Steve and Natasha upstairs, stumbling like a fool. Steve helped Natasha into bed.
"I love you Steve."
"I love you too Natasha, why don't you get some sleep. We can talk in the morning."
She nodded and snuggled into him and fell asleep in no time. Steve stayed awake for the rest of the night making sure that Natasha was alright. It was around noon when Thor let out a roar that awoke Natasha. Steve heard her whisper in an extremely threatening way.
"Unless he wants to die, he better be quiet."
Steve shook his head and got up, allowing Natasha to get up and go shower. When Steve entered the kitchen Tony, Bruce and Clint were all dressed and ready to go while Thor was laying his head on the kitchen counter drinking his coffee. After Natasha walked in and poured herself some coffee Steve took a shower and got ready. Tony looked up at the group once Steve rejoined them and made sure to not speak loudly since Natasha had a knife in her hand to spread jam on her bagel.
"So how about we go to Universal studios today?"
Natasha grunted and Tony took is as a sign of approval and followed Tony into the garage. Bruce drove with Tony in front, Clint and Steve in the middle and Natasha and Thor were sleeping in the back seat. When they arrived Clint forgot about anything else and began trying to pick up all the little lizards on the floor and put them on his teammates. Natasha didn't even bother trying to stop him as she snuggled into Steve's side. He kissed the side of her head causing her to smile and Tony began pretending to gag.
"what will we be seeing in this universe?"
"Its Universal Pikachu, and this is full of stuff like Men in Black and Jaws and Shrek. It also has the Simpsons. I know you'll enjoy that, you were practically glued to the t.v after discovering the Simpsons."
Thor smiled and suddenly hugged Tony lifting him off the group.
"I am enjoying this vacation very much friend Tony, I thank you for inviting me"
"Sure thing Thor-o"
Steve and Natasha stayed linked to each other for the rest of the day. Clint managed to get Natasha away from Steve while he went to buy the group drinks.
"Are we feeling a little touchy today Tasha?"
She glared at him but knew he wouldn't stop until he figured out what was going on. Thor, Bruce and Tony were listening as well.
"Remember a couple years back when we were the once here, at the bar?"
"Yeah, although I do admit the later part of that night is quite fuzzy."
"Do you remember what I was planning on doing around that time."
Clint visibly tensed, his voice went soft.
"Tasha…"
"Don't worry, I'm not considering put a bullet in my brain anymore. But last time I was because I believed that it was the only way for me to be…ok."
Bruce and Tony looked alarmed, Thor had wandered off to help Steve.
"well last night, I remembered all that. But then I realized that I was already ok. I had Steve to go home to, and all of you."
Clint's face softened but he stayed tense. Tony and Bruce eyes Natasha warily and Steve and Thor came back with drinks and a funnel cake for Thor. They both noticed the way Clint's shoulders were tensed and the wary looks Tony and Bruce were giving Natasha. She looked fine.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing Steve, I think that we should go on the mummy next."
Natasha jumped off her seat and took her drink from Steve's hand and began walking forward. Steve was confused but he followed her until he was stopped by a little boy with a Captain America shirt.
"Excuse me sir?"
"Yes son?"
"are you…are you Captain America?"
Steve knelt down to his height and shook his hand.
"yes I am son, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm gonna have to ask you to not tell anyone I'm here."
"I won't I promise. Wow, I never thought I would have a chance to meet you. You're my hero sir! My friend Milton says that iron man is cooler but I know that you are."
Tony walked by at that very moment and snorted, the kid looked up and stared in amazement as Iron Man and Thor walked by next to him.
"Now listen here son, I have to go catch up with my friends but I want you to know that you are doing me a big favor by not telling anyone. You're being my hero."
The kids face lit up and you could tell that Captain had just made his day.
"Thank you!"
Steve saluted the little boy, when the kid ran to catch up with his mother, the smile on his face was bigger than Steve had previously thought was humanly possible. Steve caught up with his friends, smirking when Tony looked his way. After the mummy ride they left the park and stopped by the supermarket to buy some groceries. They allowed Natasha to cook for them. Only tony was slightly worried that Natasha may have poisoned his food. He was half way through his bowl of pasta and chicken when he made a comment that earned him a death glare.
"Natasha, you'll make a good wife one day, and a good mommy."
Clint and Steve both turned to look at Natasha straight away. She didn't show any pain, her eyes flashed with anger at Tony.
"I'll be going to bed now. I'll see you guys tomorrow morning."
Natasha exited the kitchen leaving Clint to glare at Tony.
"I'm going too. Night guys."
Tony tried to figure out what he did wrong but couldn't so he moved on to the next thing on his mind.
"Steve does Tasha seem happy to you?"
"Yeah, I guess, why?"
Bruce shook with head before putting the plates in the dishwasher.
"well she mentioned it earlier while talking to Clint that she had been contemplating offing herself before and as much as I antagonize her, I really do love her."
Steve took the information better than Tony had expected, but he knew what it felt like to be a super soldier, sometimes you need a way out. When Steve made his way to their bedroom he laid down behind Natasha and brought her close to his body. She molded herself to his body, getting as close as possible and falling asleep almost immediately. Steve looked at her and smiled.
"I love you Nat, if only there was a way that I could show you how much."
He kissed the top of her head and fell asleep, holding her tight.
