Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, its characters, anything Disney, Marvel or Lucasfilms. I only own Nairbix. In this chapter, we finally reach the touching reunion between Nairbix and his beloved wife, Natasha. Mind you there will be some Rogers bashing but it was necessary for this chapter. You'll also see some references to some other movies and one of them will defiantly leave you confused. Enjoy!
Director Phil Coulson had expected just the usual craziness in the life of being the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., but instead when he took a look outside his office window with his morning coffee he saw something new. It was a giant symbol formed completely out of dark magenta fire in the sky, the symbol was a circle with a small point on top with a dot in the center and at the bottom left and right parts of it were straight rectangles that then at their ends bent to cross over each other and reached up to the sides of the circle.
"What the hell could it be?" He thought out loud as he sat on his desk, just then a door slid open with a beautiful young brunet woman walked through with a file in her hands. "Skye, what can I do for you?" Phil asked kindly.
"Well, you know that weird symbol that just appeared in the sky this morning?" She asked only to receive a look that gave her an answer. "Of course you do, everyone does because the whole world saw it." She said realizing that it was a dumb question.
"What about it?" Phil asked, Skye then slapped the file in front of her boss and opened it to show the newly made records.
"This is the guy who made it, he insisted that we take him in." She explained as the Director looked over the few pages.
"Nairbix VanSull, that's this guy's name?" He asked.
"So he says, he also says he has some questions for several specific people." Skye informed.
"Oh, yeah, who?" Phil asked as he took a sip of his coffee, Skye then replied, "Well…namely you and a certain female Avenger." Phil then choked on his coffee once he heard the demands.
"You're kidding me, right?" But Skye just shook her head, Phil then got up from his desk as he fixed his tie and looked to his old friend. "Alright if he wants to talk, we'll talk. Assemble the Avengers." He ordered dramatically, Skye however looked at the Director unimpressed.
"Assemble? Really, Coulson?" She asked dryly.
"Too much?" He asked sheepishly. He then walked down to the interrogation room and found Nairbix sitting in a chair behind a long metal table with his hands cuffed. "So, you must be Nairbix VanSull?" Phil asked as he sat down in front of the True Keyblade Master.
"That would be me."
"So, was there any particular reason you decided to make a giant flaming symbol in the air this morning? Why'd you do it, to create chaos, cause panic, or send a message?" Phil asked.
"It was to let a specific person know that I was here. I'm looking for someone you see, someone very important to me." Nairbix replied, he then reached into his chest pocket and pulled out an old, crumpled and burnt photo. Phil then picked up the old picture and saw a strikingly beautiful, young woman holding a red haired baby with a two year old platinum blonde little girl holding her hand and sucking her thumb. Phil immediately recognized the woman and could not believe what he saw.
"Who is this person to you?" Phil asked seriously as his brow furrowed in angry suspicion.
"That is my wife, and she is with our two daughters in that picture." Nairbix replied unaffected by Phil's glare.
"This woman? This woman is your wife?" Phil asked not believing that there was truth in this man's eyes, Nairbix nodded and gained an unsuspected response, Phil busting a gut as he laughed at Nairbix's claim. He found it so funny he was beginning to cry as he laughed and pounded on the metal table. After several more moments of laughing, Phil gave a hearty sigh as he wiped away the last of his tears.
"You don't believe me?" Nairbix asked calmly.
"Look, pal, I don't know whatever it is you're smoking, but there is no way that the woman in this picture and the woman I think I'm sure you're talking about are the same person." Phil said with a smile but Nairbix was not amused.
"Then how about this? Bring her here, and after she asks all of her questions because if she is still as stubborn as she was ten years ago she'll ask a lot of questions to see if I am lying. She will let you know if I am telling the truth, seem fair?" Nairbix asked, Phil thought for a moment and lightly nodded his head.
"Alright, fine. I'll go fetch your (snicker while mouth is closed) wife." Phil said trying to control his laughter as he walked out the door leaving Nairbix to sit and twiddle his thumbs. As soon as Phil walked out the door, he came face to face with the very agent he was about to fetch.
"Oh, good, you're here. Listen, we'll be watching from the other room and as a precaution there will be guards standing by the door with Barton if necessary, understood?" Phil asked the agent.
"Yes, sir, understood." The agent replied as she entered the room and sat down in front of a smirking Nairbix. On the other side of the glass to see the room, Phil stood with four other men, one was fairly young with a well-toned body, blonde hair and a round red and white shield on his back as he wore a patriotic designed uniform.
Another was a middle-aged man wearing a casual business suit standing next to another man in a dress shirt and khaki slacks, the final man was a large muscular warrior with long blonde hair, a unique set of armor with a red cape attached to his shoulders and a mighty hammer to his side.
"So this is the guy who made the symbol, huh?" The middle aged man asked looking only at Nairbix.
"It would appear so, Tony. I felt like you, Thor, Bruce and Steve should be here with them for this." Phil said to Tony.
"Is what your men saying true, Son of Col?" Thor asked, "Is this man her husband?"
"I'd be surprised if anyone could survive being married to her." Tony joked.
"Well, we won't know until they start talking." Bruce said looking at the two on the other side of the glass.
"You don't really think he's her husband, right?" Steve asked slightly nervous.
"Oh, right, I forgot that the Capsicle here has a bit of a crush on the vexingly beautiful S.H.E.I.L.D. agent." Tony once again joked only to receive a glare from the Captain.
"Shh! They're starting to talk." Skye alerted as everyone looked at the supposed couple.
"So, do you mind telling me who you actually are, or do I need to use force to get it out of you?"
"You know who I am, Natasha. You are just acting stubborn and don't want to admit that it's really me, your husband Nairbix." Nairbix retorted.
"My husband was killed ten years ago along with our children, they bled to death in my arms." Natasha said stiffly.
"Wow, was that the only illusion Ansem could come up with? Geez, could that old fart be any more original?" Nairbix said humorously while Natasha just gave him a blank expression. "Okay look, it was all an illusion Ansem created. I saw it, Elsa saw it, and even Kairi saw it, alright? He tricked us, Natasha."
"Then where did you go?" She asked.
"I went to the realm of darkness in self-exile because I had failed you and the girls. I thought you three were dead, I lost the will to carry on and I thought I deserved to suffer further. So I spent all these years in the realm of darkness mourning over your deaths." Nairbix said sadly, but the Black Widow would not break face.
"Alright then, you clearly don't believe me. So let's play that game we once played back when we first met as little kids, okay? You ask a question and I'll answer, then we switch until we have no more questions, okay?" He asked.
"Fine, I'll start. If you were in the realm of darkness for ten years, how did you find out that we were alive?" Natasha asked with her arms folded.
"Mickey found a way to get there to tell me that he found out the girls were alive and that he found them. We then went to get Elsa who is now Queen of Arendele, then we went and got Jumba and his two newest experiments along with all of the other 628 before we found Kairi." He explained. "Now then my question, why did you ask Aslan to send you to this world?" Natasha took a deep breath and replied.
"To go to the only world my husband had never been to in his place." She replied confirming what the lion had said was true. "My turn. What is your favorite type of food?"
"Toffee, but only of the best quality. Yours is chocolate covered potato chips, am I wrong?" He asked with a smirk knowing that this embarrassed his beloved.
"What are the names of your parents and where did your mother give birth to you?" Natasha asked blushing.
"I have no birth parents because I am the living manifestation and embodiment of my home world Narnia's firstborn darkness. But I was adopted by my mother, Maleficent after I was sent to her world by the will of Aslan when I was a toddler. So tell me, darling, am I lying?" He playfully asked his hardheaded wife.
"Just because you answered one or two questions correctly, doesn't guarantee that you are who you say you are." Natasha said in her monotone voice.
"Whatever you say, sweet cheeks." Nairbix teased with a wink. "Okay, now for my question, I mean no offense when I ask this but, why do you look the same as ten years ago like I do?"
Natasha rolled up her left sleeve to show a metal bracelet with a braid design. "This is a magical bracelet that allows me to stay the same age as my husband. I asked his master to make it for me before our wedding so that we could age at the same pace and grow old together. I guess it stopped me from aging because my husband can't age seeing how he's dead." She said coldly and sadly, as he heard his wife confess this, Nairbix had a tear form in his eye.
"Are you currently married or in a relationship with another man?" Nairbix asked with dread in his voice.
"No, I could never move on after I lost you." Natasha replied not noticing her slip up which gave Nairbix hope. "How did you propose to me?" She asked.
"I took you to your favorite restaurant, ordered you your favorite meal, spaghetti and meatballs covered in parmesan cheese. Then Jumba and Mickey came to our table under the moonlight and sang our song, Bella Note." Nairbix said lovingly as his and Natasha's eyes became misty. "After that, I took you by the river, pulled out a small box and tricked you with a pair of earrings. You then turned around in anger giving me the chance to get down on one knee and pull out the actual ring. And then you said yes."
"Is anyone else thinking it's completely weird to see this side of Natasha?" Tony asked on the other side of the glass as everyone else was staring at the hardcore assassin in surprise.
"Where is your wedding ring?" Nairbix asked.
"It became too heavy for me to wear after what happened. So I keep it on a chain necklace I wear at all times." His wife replied as she revealed the chain on the side of her craning neck. "Do you love me?" She asked sincerely, Nairbix the looked straight into her eyes and gave his heartfelt answer.
"It would take me forever and an eternity until the end of time to not even come close in being finished telling you how much I love you." On the other side of the glass, some of the female agents were getting a little choked up, unlike Tony who was bawling into Thor's cape.
"Stark, are you seriously crying over this?" Steve asked his friend and fellow Avenger.
"It's just so beautiful!" He sobbed.
"Okay, I just have these last questions for you, and yes they tie together so please answer them." Nairbix assured as he reached into his inner chest pocket. He pulled out a small locked wooden box and set it in front of Natasha who looked at it wide-eyed nervously.
"What is that?" She asked as her voice shook.
"I think you know. Please open it, open it and realize that it really is me and that I am telling you the truth, Natasha." Nairbix pleaded.
"Why don't you open it?" Natasha asked.
"I can't, I made that box so that it can't be opened by anything other than the two keys I made. I gave one to you, and I gave the other to our baby girl, our little scarlet rose, Kairi. She and Elsa have gotten so big and beautiful, sweetheart. Just come with me so we can be together as a family again, please just open it." Nairbix pleaded as tears once again formed in his eyes. Natasha had then taken off her necklace, sure enough her silver wedding ring was on it and so was a little key.
She inserted it into the lock on the box and began to turn the key. The box then clicked open and revealed its contents, it was a rose bud encased in a smooth crystal casing. Natasha had shot up out of her seat and backed away slowly in fear.
"Sweetheart, please." Nairbix begged as both he and his wife were crying, she then bolted out the door without saying a word. "Please, don't go." He pleaded as he let loose his tears of anguish and sank to the floor.
Natasha however was running down the hall as her tears ran down her face, not wanting to run anymore she pressed her head against her arm as she propped it on the wall of the gray hallway and continued to sob.
"Agent Romanoff." Phil addressed as he stood behind his old companion who quickly dried her tears. "Is everything alright?"
"Yes sir, everything is fine." She lied.
"Oh, really, then why is it that you decided to run out of the interrogation room after you opened that box?" Phil asked, but Natasha would not answer him, she just turned around. "Natasha, we saw everything. Now, I don't know what had happened between you two, but it looks to me that he truly loves you." He said kindly to his friend who still said nothing. "Natasha, is he really your husband?" Still no response. "Agent Romanoff." He said sternly with authority. "As Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I am ordering you to tell me the truth. Is that man your husband?"
She turned around with tears of sorrow and happiness streaming down her cheeks and gave him her answer, "Yes. That's my Nairbix."
Back in the interrogation room, Captain America walked in with an arrogant look on his face as he looked down at Nairbix. "Well, way to make the lady feel loved, pal." He said like a total jackass.
"If you are here to mock me, I am not in the mood to hear it, soldier boy." Nairbix informed without even looking at the Captain.
"Oh, I'm not. I just came in here to tell you to stay away from her. She's mine, got it?" Steve asked with anger.
"Excuse me, yours?" Nairbix asked as his anger rose. "She is no one's. She is not some object to own. And she most certainly would not fall for an arrogant fool who thinks his cock is as big as his ego." Nairbix snarled.
"And yet, the kisses we shared proved otherwise." Steve replied with a smug smile.
"You kissed my wife?" Nairbix whispered in malice.
"Actually, she kissed me." Steve informed, he even decided to push further by licking his lips as though he could still taste her own. "Just like cherries." He said fondly, if he wasn't before, Nairbix was seething in anger. "Now then." Steve continued as he popped his knuckles ready to beat the True Master, "I'm going to enjoy this." He said as Nairbix popped both sides of his neck fully knowing where this was headed. "And I know you're going to enjoy it even more."
About three seconds later, a giant hole in a wall was made as Captain America was sent flying through it and nine others. In the interrogation room, Nairbix was glaring at the sprawled form of the perverted swine he just sent through the building without the use of a Flux Wave.
"He was right, I did enjoy that even more than he did." He said as he walked into the hallway, behind him the sound of a bow being drawn could be heard.
"Keep your hands where I can see them." Barton ordered Nairbix. "Now, would you mind telling me why you sent Rogers through those walls?"
"Of course." Nairbix replied. "That pig was trying to insult me by implying that he and my wife were potential lovers. And if you were aware of what's been going on since I arrived, you would know who my wife is."
"I still find that hard to believe." Barton said bluntly.
"What, that she's my wife?" Nairbix asked growing tired of people saying that.
"Yeah, but not for the reason you may think. I find it hard to believe that anyone could survive being married to Natasha." Barton said once again bluntly as Nairbix sighed and shook his head.
"Why does everyone always say that?" He growled just before he was struck by Captain America's shield.
"Maybe that'll teach you not to punch people through walls!" Steve yelled as he limped over to Barton who looked at him suspiciously.
"Did you really try to convince this guy that you and Natasha were a thing?" He asked.
"No, of course not." Steve lied through his teeth, but Barton did not look convinced. "Who're you going to believe, me or the guy who sent me through the building?" Off to the side, Nairbix was groaning as he clutched his head while getting up from the ground.
"You hit me in the head with a shield?!" He exclaimed, behind him the sound of roaring could be clearly heard, it belonged to a giant green skinned muscular monster wearing nothing but ripped khaki pants. Or as it was more commonly called, the Hulk. Next to the Hulk was a focused looking Thor with his mighty hammer Mjolnir in his hand. Behind these two, Tony Stark came in wearing his Iron Man armor.
"Well then, let's see." Nairbix began looking around to see his new opponents. "There are five of you, so that means it's five against three. Not my worst situation, but certainly not my best."
"Okay, everyone else can count and see that there's only one of him and not three, right?" Tony asked with humor as they all looked at Nairbix with confusion.
"What do you mean three?" Barton asked.
"Me, my Keyblade Heartbreaker." Nairbix listed as he summoned his all-powerful weapon. "And the unbearable pain I will inflict upon all of you." He finished as his eyes blazed with emerald fire. Hulk then roared at the True Master and threw a giant fist at his back but before any of them could blink, Nairbix had deflected the blow by swinging his Keyblade behind his back in order to block. "You know, you really should consider not making it so obvious to your enemy that you are about to attack them." Nairbix advised not even looking at the beast.
"Wait a moment." Thor said looking puzzled. "If you came here to retrieve Lady Natasha, then why are you wishing to fight with us?"
"Because." Nairbix said as he shrugged off Hulk's fist from his back and pointed his Keyblade at Steve. "This insolent swine, pushed my buttons. So, I shall push back. Full Body Flux Wave!" He cried sending the Avengers outside S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. He walked over to the hole where they all crashed through and looked down at their sprawled forms. "Push. It's a pun, get it?" He asked hoping at least someone heard his little pun.
"What the hell was that?" Phil asked after the rumbling stopped.
"Oh, dear." Natasha sighed. "It sounds like Nairbix is off fighting." She looked to her boss and continued to talk. "Phil, listen to me. No matter what happens out there, do not send any agents to back the Avengers up. Understand?" She asked.
"Sure, but, Natasha just how strong is this guy?" Phil asked. As much as Natasha loved her husband, he was terrifying when he was serious in battle. What has been shown throughout this story in the fight scenes, is nothing compared to what she has seen in all the years she has known Nairbix VanSull.
"His powers are like that of…" She began trying to swallow the lump in her throat.
"Of what, a God?" Phil asked after the Black Widow hesitated. She took a deep breath and finished her answer.
"A demon."
Outside, the Avengers were giving everything they had in the fight against the living darkness. However, the team was doing the exact opposite of what an average team does, they were not working together. Barton, or Hawkeye as he is also called was on the roof of a building to act as a sniper and shoot Nairbix as he fought the others.
Currently he was up against Thor, who was struggling as his hammer clashed against the Keyblade. As the lightning encased weapon slammed against the shrouded in darkness key, Iron Man blasted Nairbix but to no avail. In fact, in a split second before the blast made contact, a sphere made entirely of barrier octagons that glowed pale green. As the attack made contact, it was redirected at Iron Man's chest sending him into what then became ruble. And oddly enough, what little wounds Nairbix had were healed as the barrier shattered sending Thor back several feet.
"Nairbix!" A voice called from behind him. He turned around and saw his wife looking dead serious as she held a large black mechanical blaster. "That's enough." She said dangerously calm as the blaster was aimed directly at her husband.
"What are you waiting for, Natasha?!" Captain America shouted. "Shoot him!" He ordered.
"Rogers, shut up." She said bluntly as she stared down her long lost love. "By the way, Agent Skye managed to overhear your little discussion with Nairbix after I left the interrogation room." Hearing this the Captain winced. "Get this through your head, I am not yours. I never was and I never will be. And if I ever hear anything about you saying that I or any other woman for that matter, belong to you. I will cut your star spangled balls off, and kill you in the most painful way I know. Capiche?" She asked coldly.
Nairbix only looked at his wife with an amused look on his face as the blaster began to warm up. "Are you going shoot me again?" He asked, Natasha said nothing while her weapon was ready to fire its attack. "Are you actually going to shoot me again, Natasha?!" He shouted in anger. With no response, Natasha pulled the trigger. The blast was a large beam of condensed orange energy capable of tearing through anything. Anything except Nairbix.
Without much effort, Nairbix swatted the blast away with the back of his free hand as he glared at his wife. "So, you want to go through this just like when we were kids, do you?" Nairbix asked as Natasha pulled what looked like the grip of a mechanical sword.
"For old times' sake?" She asked with a cute little pout as she pressed a small red button on the grip with her thumb. From the grip, a four-foot long crimson red blade made entirely out of condensed energy sprang to life with a deadly hiss.
"Hmph, sometimes I forget that he gave his abilities to you before he died." Nairbix said wistfully at the memory. "Alright then, dear. Let's see if you've gotten rusty in the last ten years." He said as he lowered his Keyblade to enter his fighting stance. Natasha entered her own as she held on tight to her lightsaber, after the two long separated lovers read their spouse's stance they stood in place quietly, waiting for the right moment.
Tired of waiting, the two leaped at each other beginning their fight. The first day they see each other after ten years of thinking that the other was dead, and they are about to kill themselves. Every couple should learn from them.
As Keyblade met Lightsaber with each blow, the battle grew more and more interesting. Neither one of the brawling spouses used any of their techniques against the other, no, this was a battle of pure skill with a blade and nothing more.
That is until Natasha accidently slipped up and used a Force powered punch on her husband's face, hurdling him into a building.
"Natasha!" He shouted/whined from the ruble.
"Sorry!" She said wincing at what she did. Natasha ran over to the sprawled form of her husband and checked to see if he was injured. "Baby, are you okay?" She asked sincerely, Nairbix's hand shot up to her stomach ready to send her flying like she did to him.
"Flux Wave." Nairbix said in a sing-song voice as Natasha went flying. But unlike her husband, Natasha was more graceful and landed like the spider she was. "She called me, baby." He said dreamily at the use of her pet name for him.
"That man hasn't changed a bit." Natasha sighed while a dumb, love-struck smile found its way to her face, it really was like old times for the two of them. They were both having a friendly spar while acting like teens experiencing love for the first time, for most this was weird, for them it was love.
There you have it. If anyone was offended or unhappy with me turning Rogers into a jerk and pervert, sorry, but I had to make the reunion more than just a classic and overused sappy romantic moment. Besides, like I said, I wrote this before Avengers 2 came out so I expected Marvel to pair him and Natasha together like they did in some of the older animated Avengers movies. Not to mention, I never liked the whole Clintasha pairing idea nor do I like how they've made her fall for Banner (did not see that coming).
Anyway, yes I did give Natasha a red lightsaber and power over the Force. Now, I'm not going to tell you whether she was/is a Jedi or Sith. That is a question I will answer in an author's note at the end of the story. However, I will tell you that the next chapter will be the last one.
And for the record, Nairbix was never really evil. I only made him act like this because he didn't want anyone aside from his brothers and daughters to help him. And I realize that I never specified the song that he and Yen Sid sang in earlier chapters. For those of you who are One Piece fans you may have noticed this.
The song is my own tweaked version of Ocean Guide from Film Z. I also somewhat intentionally made the passage where Yen Sid was telling Aqua about Nairbix like when Garp told Coby and Helmeppo about Zed's past as a marine. No I did not base this story off of that movie, I just liked it and wanted to use that song in this.
I hope you've enjoyed this story and I hope you will enjoy the last chapter.
