What made Natasha find me so funny?

I quickly showered, allowing the warm water to loosen my muscles, and got dressed in a jeans and a loose fitting red tank top. I pulled a comb through my hair and tucked it behind my ears- showing of my small gold dusted stud earings.

I walked across my marvellous apartment and got into the elevators, glancing down at my watch I realised it was 7, bang on time. To be honest I actually was starving- my stomach growling, just to prove my point.

As I reached the "hang out area", which I had already nicknamed, I could smell the deliciousness of the best food in the world. pizza.

I turned to face the kitchen, everyone was already there. They were seated around the island, digging in their food.

"Hey Anna" my dad called, beckoning me over to a spare seat between him and Clint.

I walked over and hopped up on the bar stool and grabbed a few slices of pizza, everyone giving me a welcoming smile.

"Hungry hugh" Clint chuckled, acknowledging the fact that I was literally in-haling my food. I nodded, taking another bite.

"When was the last time you actually had a proper meal?" My dad asked

"Erm, about 3 weeks ago I think. Maybe longer." I answered, taking another hungry bite.

"What, that can't be good!" Steve said frowning

My dad gave me a very disapproving look, waiting for me to give him a reason.

"I'm sorry, but I've been really busy, I've been on the run, I've been trying to rescue s.h.i.e.l.d, trying to find the enemy and trying not to die" I rambled

"I know that feeling" natasha stated, grinning in my direction

I grinned back, swallowing my last bite. "So, what has everyone been up to?" I asked

"Same old same old" my dad chuckled

"So what are you planning on doing, now that you are unemployed?" Bruce asked

"Relaxing and working in the lab probably" I answered, grinning

"It wouldn't be anything but that, now would it?" Steve chuckled

I childishly stuck my tongue out at him, earning myself another chuckle, and collected the dirty dishes to place in the dishwasher. After I finished, everyone moved over to the comfort of the squishy arm chairs and sofas. I took a seat next to Natasha on the sofa whilst everyone else moved towards the other side of the floor, where the enormous television was.

I watched as my dad collected himself a scotch and sunk into a leather seat, bruce joined him on the seat next to him. Thor, clint and steve grabbed a beer each- Thor seating himself across the coffee table from bruce and Clint and Steve sitting on the sofa, directly opposite from the TV. Steve took a sip from his beer and was getting fully engrossed in the football game that was on.

"Would you stop staring" Natasha said, bringing me back to my senses. "Go talk to him"

"I was not starring" i said, my British accent turning fierce.

I lived with my mother in England, where I was born, for the majority of my life and came to America to live with my father at the age of 15 when my mother died. My parents relationship was a short one, and my father was not told about me until I was born. My mother rarely gave him the chance to see me when I was growing up, I probably only saw him once a year, but he would talk to me every day over the phone and he always made sure that I was getting the best out of life. He truly cared about me very much

"Oh for goodness sake, just admit that you like him. Last year when you two were being deployed on missions all the time, both of you were flirting with each other but neither of you did anything about it. And don't say anything about age, you're almost 20 and he's really only 24" she said "if you don't do anything about it then I will"

"Don't you dare" I scowled "do you want to be my friend" I joked. She laughed

"Hey, keep it down, we're trying to watch a game over here." Clint called

"Oh shut up " Natasha called back. Clint smirked

"Tomorrow you are going to the park with Steve, he goes jogging every morning, and you two are going to spend the whole day out together and finally admit that you like each other"

"What, no! I'm working on a project in the lab tomorrow" I whined

Natasha narrowed her eyes " I did warn you" you said " Hey Steve?" she called. My eyes widened in panick

"Yeah?" Steve called back

"Fine I'll do it" I whispered

Natasha smirked, triumphantly. "Who's winning?" She said, walking over to the guys to watch the game.

Dammit. I muttered, leaving to go get some well earned sleep.

"Night guys"
