The first thing Thor noticed when he walked into the living quarters of the avengers tower was the silence. No matter what it was never completely silent. Especially if Tony or Clint were home. He was unaware of what had happened only a week before. He noticed Bruce walking out of the kitchen with Natasha's favorite tea mug in his hands.
"Banner, what has happened. Home has never been this quiet."
"Thor, there's been an incident. Natasha is no longer pregnant, the black widow program made sure that she could never have children. We thought she was a special case since she was pregnant for 4 months but it turns out she wasn't. Natasha hasn't been herself, she believes it to be her fault. We're all…mourning I guess you could say, and trying to give Natasha some peace and quiet. We're just hoping she will be alright"
Thor nodded his head in understanding .
"how is Rogers?"
"He's coping, obviously he's not okay but it seems like his grieving process is going better than Natasha's"
Thor nodded and looked up in alarm as they were joined in the kitchen by the man in question. He looked up and began to say Thor's name but he was pulled into a back breaking bear hug that knocked the wind out of him.
"Steve, I am deeply remorseful for your loss. I assure you I shall be here for whatever you need."
"Thank you very much Thor, I appreciate it. Welcome home, why don't you go get settled and ill make you some coffee."
Thor nodded and left the room. As he passed Natasha's room he saw her. She was sitting on a chair in front of the window. Her forehead leaning against the glass. Her skin was pale, her eyes were sunken in and dark. The dark circles under her eyes showed that she had not been sleeping. She looked like she was mearly a shell. Like there was no one there, only a body. Thor shook his head as he walked into his room, dropping his bags on the floor and walking back into the kitchen to find that Tony and Clint had joined the other two men. There was a cup of coffee waiting for him, the other four men each had their own mugs. Thor was informed of how each of the men had tried and failed to communicate with Natasha. Bruce would leave her tea on her bedside table every morning and Steve would return the full cup every night. Clint would sing in Russian outside her bedroom. Tony would work on weapons for her and blast her favorite music throughout the tower. Steve was doing anything he possibly could. She was like a zombie, Steve had to force her to eat, he showered with her practically dragging her along. They sat in silence only being interrupted by Jarvis's voice.
"Mr. Barton, Ms. Morse is waiting down in the lobby. Sha'll I send her up."
Before Clint could answer the sound of a chair being knocked over and someone running alerted them all. The sound of the shower running made Clint begin to chuckle. Steve looked confused, as did the other men. They were all elated that Natasha was moving around but still confused.
"Of course, all we needed was Bobbi's precense to get Natasha up."
Stve looked at Clint for an explination.
"Tasha has never exactly been fond of Bobbi, actually to be honest she hates her guts, wants her dead."
Steve still looked confuse. Clint told Jarvis to send her up and in mere minutes Natasha was running into the kitchen in shorts and a sports bra, a shirt in her hand. Her hair was dripping wet all over the floor. She barely managed to get her shirt on when Bobbi appeared. She slipped on a puddle on the floor causing Natasha to smirk. Bobbi balanced herself and didn't fail to notice that Natasha had placed herself right next to Clint, directly in his personal space. She introduced herself to everyone and asked Clint to speak in private but she never took her eyes of Natasha. There was a synicle smirk playing on Natasha's lips, her eyes were warning Bobbi. She was giving off a vibe that cause everyones hairs to stand on end. Bobbi didn't even take her eyes off Natasha as she was led out of the room by Clint. Natasha continued to smirk until Bobbi was in Clint's room. Steve, Tony and Bruce were stairing at her with wide eyes and Thor had a giant smile on his face.
"Natasha, it is great to see you."
"Oh hi Thor, I didn't notice you were home."
He stood from his seat and pulled her into a hug, much softer than the one he gave Steve but it still made Natasha feel warm. Thor's hug was followed by a hug from Steve, a much more intimate hug.
"You gonna be okay?"
Natasha looked up at him and then looked at Bruce and Tony smacking eachother and Thor playfully smacking them both causing them to fall off their chairs.
"Yeah, it hurts but I already have 4 other kids to take care of."
Steve gave her a kind smile and kissed the top of her head.
"So Red whats with you and boobies- I mean blondie."
"Agent Morse has never been my favorite person and she never will be."
"Well obviously Red, the favorite person slot has been filled by me, but why?"
Natasha rolled her eyes before taking a seat on the kitchen counter and answering.
"She has been after Clint for as long as I can remember, even while he was mine. He deserves so much better."
As soon as she said that a stoic faced Clint walked out of the room followed by Bobbi. Bruce walked out of the room to stay away from any drama that might happen.
"Why don't you just let yourself out Bobbi."
"Are you sure you don't wanna walk me down Clint?"
Natasha looked at them, a mischievious smirk on her face.
"I'll accompany you."
"Oh that's not necessary agent Romanoff"
Natasha simply smiled and dragged the blonde into the elevator with her. Clint slumped down into his seat and rubbed his face with his hand, he was clearly irritated. Tony poured him a drink and he nursed it for a couple minutes before her spoke up.
"This is normally the part where I would follow those two to make sure Tasha doesn't kill her, but this chair seems pretty comfty. Jarvis pull up the cameras that show Natasha and agent Morse."
"Of course sir."
The video showed Natasha on her way back up with a satisfied smirk on her face.
"you know Katniss, Capsicle, I don't know how you too didn't fear for your lives when you slept with her. She could kill you in your sleep.
"Nah, she actually likes us. It's you who should be afraid iron ass."
The elevator rang and Natasha walked in, Bruce also joined them in the kitchen just in time to see Thor poke Tony's bottom claiming he was curious if his 'behind was truly constructed of iron'.
"Hey Tash?"
"Yes Clinton?"
"There's a tad bit on blood on your hand."
Steve hopped out of his seat and immediately went over to inspect them. Her knuckled were stained red and they were swelling.
"Agent Morse ran into my fist repeatedly"
"Tash…"
"She said I looked fat."
Everyone knew that the thing that had actually angered Natasha was that Bobbi was not aware of the reason for Natasha's weight gain. Bruce chose that moment to change the subject.
"Director Fury just called, we leave in two week for a mission in Vegas."
Tony cheered and Thor smiled at his friend.
"Agent Hill will be over with the files first thing tomorrow morning."
Tony continued to celebrate as Steve began making lunch for the group. Natasha stood behind Clint and rested her head on his shoulder, pressing her cheek against his and giving him the comfort he needed after being around Bobbi. During lunch Natasha had to separate Clint and Tony since they were throwing food at each other. Somewhere between picking mushrooms from Thor's plate when he wasn't looking and having a carrot accidentally flung at her by Bruce Natasha realized she already had a family. A highly dysfunctional, insane family, but a family she wouldn't change for the world.
maybe it wasn't obvious but this was totally a filler chapter, i need ideas guys!
