Natasha had been training when she heard her phone go off in her bag. She went to the bag, pulling her plaited hair over her shoulder. Upon answering the phone she blinked listening to the other end and answering the questions. She hung up and sighed, gripping the electronic device in her hand. "Not good. Now to tell him..."
Maria had caught Loki messing with the files and was now forcing him to fix them without the use of his magic. "Honestly Loki, you have been doing this the whole time? You know how much time I have been wasting with these!"
Loki chuckled slightly, shaking his head. "Even though I am on your side, that does not mean I am not going to mess with you...You forget, Maria...I AM the god of mischief," He stated.
Natasha quickly packed up her bag, not caring she was still in her training clothes, grabbed her bag and headed out of the room looking for Loki. She passed by many people not really caring what they thought. Her children were sick... and either she was going or Loki would.
Tony had passed Natasha and his interest was piqued. He rarely saw the assassin with a determined look in her eye like that. He was curious and even though curiosity killed the cat... he needed to know what was causing her to walk so hurriedly through the halls.
Loki looked over towards the door and frowned when he saw Natasha, not liking the expression on her face. "Tasha...is something wrong, love?" he asked, thinking that they were alone, other than Maria who already knew of their relationship.
Natasha shook her head. "I just got a call. Matt and Row are sick. They need one of us there to take them to the doctors. Our children need one of us. I don't know if you want to go or if I should go."
Tony stayed far enough away so he could hear the conversation but not be noticed. So the Widow and Trickster had kids?
Loki's brows furrowed slightly. "I could go...I'm not all that busy," he glanced over at Maria who rolled her eyes and nodded. "Right, so I'm not busy." He looked back at Natasha saying, "Unless you want to go."
"I don't mind. I've been leaving a bit so they might start catching onto something," Natasha pointed out. "You go. I'll do whatever... this is." She motioned around the room. "Just... let me know how they are periodically?"
Loki nodded, giving her a soft kiss before stating, "Alright, I'll let you know as soon as I find out." And with that he left, walking out of the room. Natasha smiled and watched him leave. Tony heard the conversation and made sure to remember it. He had to talk to the others and see how much they knew about this and why he wasn't informed.
Bruce had been called in along with Tony to work on a project, them having just finished it up and were and their way out when Tony ran off to follow Natasha. With a soft sigh he trailed after him "Tony, I really don't think you should be sneaking around after a master assassin" he pointed out once he caught up to him.
Tony had an eyebrow raised and he looked over at Bruce. "Well I just found out something very interesting we might not have known." He said walking off. Bruce knitted his eyebrows together, unsure if he should take the bait, though after a moment he followed after the man he knew of as a friend "What might that be, Tony?" he asked with a slight frown.
Tony walked into the lab and started running JARVIS through the system scanning for any confirmation on what he heard. "Agent Widow and Reindeer Games have children."
Bruce looked at him for a moment before shaking his head. "Are...you sure you didn't hear wrong? I mean...I didn't think they were more than partners."
"She said 'Our children need one of us,'" the philanthropist said as his eyes scanned the screens. He thought for an explanation, though he was unable to come up with one...at least at the moment. "I wonder how long they have been keeping it a secret."
"That's why I'm having JARVIS run through all files to get confirmation." Stark looked through the files and one flagged. "Hmm..."
Bruce looked at the screen over Tony's shoulder and frowned slightly, knowing that Tony was going to tell everyone else. Tony looked through the file that had tagged a name Natasha used. Natalie. Twins born to a Natalie Roman. "I think... we found it."
"You would think she would change the name she uses ever since she went undercover to work for you," Bruce said calmly.
Tony shrugged. "She had a different last name. But since she's so used to being called 'Nat' by the bird man and probably Loki... she wasn't going to change it in case one of them showed up and didn't know her name."
"I guess that is true" he said, reading over the file. Tony nodded and read over the file. "Twins. Boy and Girl." He smirked and looked at Bruce. "So... where do you think the others are?"
"Tony, do you really think we should tell them? I mean...I'm sure Natasha and Loki kept them a secret for a good reason."
"Come on. An agency that fears intelligence remember? Not so great in history."
Bruce bit his bottom lip, a habit he had when he was trying to think of something. "It just doesn't seem right," he said as he ran a hand through his dark brown hair. "But...fine."
Tony smirked and nodded. "Good. Now where are the others?"
"I believe Clint is on the shooting range...and Steve is in the gym," Bruce said, remembering the last place he had seen the two men. Tony nodded slightly. "Alright. Which one do you want?"
Bruce sighed softly. "I'll take Steve."
Tony smiled. "Alright. I've got Legolas. Meet back here." He walked out of the room and headed towards the range. Bruce nodded, heading down to the gym, knowing that this was a bad idea.
