A look at what the future holds for the Avenger's children
As always - not beta
The Avengers are property of Marvel, I only came up with the OCs
I wrote this, mainly because I've had people asking... So I hope you like it
Also, this fics mentions Shield a few times. So let's just pretend following the events of Cap 2, Maria Hill rebuilds Shield into a much better organisation. Thanks ~F
Please let me know what you think!
Oliver Mathew Stark & Alexis Kathryn Barton
The first of the Avengers to become grandparents were not just Clint and Natasha, but also Tony.
To no one's surprise, the middle Barton child and the middle Stark ended up together. They'd dated since they were teenagers, but everyone knew they'd always been much more than friends to one another and the two got married right out of school after Oliver finally worked up the courage to ask Clint's permission.
He proposed in the middle of central park on her favourite day of the year; the fourth of July, relieved when she actually said yes.
They got married just after Alexis' eighteenth birthday, in a small private ceremony in the same church Clint and Natasha got married in.
Alexis' three sisters were her bridesmaids, and Jacob was Oliver's best man. Clint cried when he walked his daughter down the aisle, and had everyone else crying at his speech.
Tony sent the two of them to Dubai for a three week honeymoon, and when they returned he'd set up a floor of the tower for them.
Oliver took up a position in Stark Industries, having inherited his mothers head for business. He became the youngest CEO in America when, at barely 20, he took over the roll from his Mom.
Alexis, much to the displeasure of her parents, joined Shield. Initially as a linguist; she definitely took after her Mom on that count. But being the daughter of the two most successful Shield agents in history meant she had a certain reputation. She ended up training with the new recruits and got the highest score of anyone since Natasha. She started running missions for Shield and loved her job, but had to take a break when she fell pregnant.
It wasn't something they'd planned, not yet anyway, but they were happy none the less.
A month before Alexis' 20th birthday, she gave birth to a daughter. She had beautiful auburn hair and green eyes.
They named her Natalia Juliet Stark.
Natalia was soon joined by other children in the family, and she loved to help take care of them. She was curious and polite, and so incredibly clever.
When she was six, Oliver and Alexis decided to have another baby.
It took them over a year, but Alexis finally got pregnant again.
On the day of Natalia's eighth birthday, Alexis went into labour and gave birth to a baby boy; Jeremy Steven Stark.
Jeremy looked just like his father with his dark hair and dimpled smile, he did however inherit the same bright green eyes as his sister had from their mother.
And then there was that mission, the one that made Alexis question every decision she'd ever made, because she'd almost died.
The mission had gone south when one of the agents had betrayed them, selling information to Iranian criminals. Alexis, her partner and two other agents had been kidnapped and held hostage, tortured for information and starved until a rescue team made it to them; and Alexis was the only one to get out alive.
Alexis and Oliver talked it over, but she knew she could never leave her job; just like her parents before her. People needed her help, and she couldn't turn her back on them.
A few more successful missions helped to put their minds at ease, but then it was a return to a desk job for Alexis when she found out she was pregnant again.
Following Jeremy's birth, and the fact there were so many children now in their family it was getting to the point of ridiculous, they'd decided not to have any more kids; they had one of each, they had their careers and they had each other. But life, as it often does, threw them a surprise when she went to the Shield medical bay for a routine check up, and came away with the news she was expecting.
Oliver was away for the week with work, so Alexis confided in her other best friend; her Mom. Natasha was thrilled, but empathised with her daughter; having felt in a similar situation before.
In the end Alexis decided to be happy about the news, leaving Natalia, now ten, and Jeremy, now two, to be looked after by her Mom and Dad for a few days, to fly to Washington to tell her husband the news.
Seven months later, on Christmas day, Alexis gave birth to her youngest child; Scarlett Virginia Stark. She had darker hair than her siblings, darker still than Oliver's but once again, like her mother and siblings, she had shining emerald eyes.
