Hey, everybody. Back with another chapter.

So, this will take place on Earth-1. I'm sure you'll like it.

Let's get to it. Also, FYI. By this point, it's January 2021.

Guest: That's not something I decided to call Moon Knight. He's actually been called "Marvel's Batman" for years.

AWESOME1356: You are correct with your assumption. I may eventually address what happened to that version of Barry in a story. But I won't spoil it now.

Guest: When I say Bruce, I'm referring to Batman. For the rest of this series, whenever I include Bruce Banner, I'll be referring to him as Banner.

Green Hal37: I am considering introducing Blade at some point. Not 100% sure, though. As for what you said you'd like to see...maybe.


Chapter 4- Telling Everybody

Natasha smiles as she pulls her jacket on and reaches into her dresser for her extrapolator. As she pulls it out, she hears a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in," she says.

She turns around right as the door opens and Hope walks into the bedroom. Hope sees the extrapolator in Natasha's hand and asks, "Where are you off to?" she asks.

"I decided to go take a quick trip over to Earth-1. I haven't seen any of the gang over there in a while, and they still don't know Oliver and I are engaged. Thought I'd take the chance to finally tell them," Natasha says with a smile.

Hope smiles a bit. "Well, have fun. Tell everybody Hi from me," she says.

Natasha smiles back. "Will do," she says. She then activates the extrapolator, opening a breach just a few feet away, which she then steps through.

She emerges from the breach in the barn on Barry's property. She looks around, and right then, Blackjack pokes his head out of his stall.

Natasha smiles as she walks up to Blackjack and strokes his neck. "Hello, boy," she says. Blackjack whinnies a bit.

Right then, she hears the door to the barn open. She turns around, right as Wanda walks into the barn. Wanda looks surprised for a second, then smiles as she says, "Natasha! What are you doing here?"

Natasha smiles brightly as she walks up to Wanda and embraces her friend. "I haven't seen you or anybody else in a while, so I thought I'd come to visit," she says.

"Well, we're happy to have you here. Come on in. Barry's making lunch. I just came out to check on the horses," Wanda says.

Natasha smiles as Wanda leads her back to the farmhouse. As they enter, Nora and Stephen come running up, yelling, "Auntie Nat!"

Natasha beams as she bends down and hugs the two children. "Hey, little runners! So sorry I missed your birthday! I was really busy!" she says. She then pulls back a little and smiles at them as she says, "I can't believe you're already 4! You're getting so big! You need to stop growing!"

"You're so funny, Auntie Nat!" Nora says playfully.

"And so are you!" Nat says, ruffling Nora's hair, making Nora giggle.

Right then, Barry walks in, smiling brightly. "Well, Nat. We weren't expecting you, today, but it's good to see you. Thank goodness I made extra," he says. He walks up to her and they exchange a hug.

Barry and Wanda lead Nat and the kids into the dining room, where a nice lunch of spaghetti and meatballs is waiting.

"Let's eat," Barry says, and everyone sits down to eat.

As the twins are diving into their food, Natasha asks, "So, how are things here?"

"Pretty good. We've hardly had any new metahumans lately. In fact, me and Wanda were thinking of going on vacation sometime soon just to get away. Then again, maybe we'll just wait and go on vacation when we come back to Earth-99 for Reed and Sue's wedding in March," Barry says.

"How's everybody else?" Natasha asks.

"Pretty good. The team's doing well. Steve's actually already under consideration for promotion at CCPD," Wanda replies.

"That's wonderful. Steve deserves it. They should make him Captain," Natasha says, ending with a grin, and all three of them laugh.

"So, what's new on Earth-99?" Barry asks before taking another bite.

Natasha smiles, glad Barry brought her the perfect opportunity. She holds out her left hand towards them, making sure they can see the ring on her finger.

Barry and Wanda stare at it for several moments before Wanda cries, "OMG. Oliver proposed to you?"

Natasha smiles and nods happily. Wanda cries out with joy and gets up from her seat to come around the table and give Natasha a hug. As she does, Barry gives a chuckle and says, "Well, finally. I can't believe he took this long to decide."

Natasha laughs as she and Wanda pull apart. "We both know Oliver is stubborn and indecisive about stuff like this," she says.

"Agreed," Natasha says.

"When is the wedding?" Wanda asks excitedly.

"We're not sure exactly when, but we know we want to try and have it this summer," she responds.

"Well, let us know when, and we'll put it on the counter," Barry says. He then chuckles again before saying, "Look's like we've got two weddings to look forward to this year."

"Guess so," Natasha says with a chuckle. She then looks at Wanda and asks, "Wanda, would you be my maid of honor?"

Wanda beams. "Of course I would, Natasha," she says happily.

Natasha then glances at Barry and says, "We both know Oliver is probably gonna make you best man, or at least a groomsman. But I'll let him actually ask you himself."

"I'll be waiting," Barry says with a huge smile on his face.

Natasha continues to hang around at Barry and Wanda's house for the next hour, talking with them and playing with the twins.

Finally, she says, "Well, I still need to go see Clint and tell him the news."

"Of course. But come back here for dinner before you leave," Wanda says.

"Of course," Natasha says before using the extrapolator to open a breach to Clint's apartment.

As she steps through it, she emerges into the living room, where Laura is sitting with the kids in front of the TV. They all whip around as htye hear the breach opening, and smile upon seeing Natasha step through.

"Natasha!" Laura says happily. Nate and Lila, the two closest to Natasha, hurry up and hug her.

"Hey, kids!" Natasha says with a smile, hugging them back. She then looks up at Laura and says, "Haven't seen you all in a while. Decided I'd come for a quick visit."

"Well, it's good to see you again," Laura says as she walks up to Natasha and gives her a hug. As she pulls away, she says, "Clint's still at work. He probably won't be back for another two hours or so."

"That's fine. I'll just stay and hang here with you guys," Natasha says with a bright smile. She then looks at Laura and says, "But, in the meantime, since I know I won't be able to keep it hidden until Clint gets home, I have something to show you." She then holds out her left hand again.

Laura looks in surprise at the ring, then looks up at Natasha with delight. "You and Oliver are engaged?" she asks. Natasha smiles and nods.

"Oh, Natasha, that's wonderful," Laura says as she hugs Natasha, and Cooper, Lila, and Nate start cheering and hugging Natasha too. Natasha laughs as she's quickly enveloped in a large Barton family group hug.

For the next two and a half hours, she hangs out with the Bartons, waiting for Clint to come back. Finally, as the sun is getting lower in the sky, the door into their house opens and Clint walks through the door.

"Weclome home, honey. How was work?" Laura calls to him.

"Kind of boring, today, actually. Not much happened," Clint replies. Right then, he notices Natasha. He stands there for a second before he says, "Nat. What are you doing here?"

Natasha smiles. "Just wanted to come by for a quick visit. And I wanted to show you this," she says as she holds out her left hand for the third time that day to show somebody the ring.

Clint stares at it for several seconds before he asks, "Queen proposed to you?"

Natasha smiles and nods. Clint stands there for several more moments before he finally starts to smile. "Well, all I can say is it's about time." He then walks and gives Natasha a hug as he says, "I'm happy for you, Nat. After everything you've been through, you deserve to be happy." When he pulls away from her, he grins and says, "You tell Queen that if he doesn't treat you right, I'll kill him slowly and painfully."

Natasha rolls her eyes but says in good humor, "I'll pass on the message."

Laura soon heads into the kitchen, and Natasha sits down to talk with Clint.

"So, anything new? Any new nice fights you've gotten in?" Clint asks with a grin.

Natasha shakes her head and says, "Not really, no."

Clint sits there for a moment, then raises an eyebrow. "You can lie convincingly to most people, but not me, Natasha. I know you too well," he says.

Natasha sighs before she says, "We haven't gotten in any new fights…but there's a new player on the scene back on Earth-99. A vigilante that's been seen across California. Calls himself Moon Knight. Me and Oliver were out on a date a few days ago, and some idiot tried to mug us. He must not have realized who we are. But, before we could take him out, this Moon Knight showed up out of nowhere and knocked him out before he disappeared again."

Clint sits there for a moment before he nods. "Any idea who he is?" he asks.

"No. Nobody knows who he is. Me and Oliver accessed every database we could think of, but no information on this Moon Knight. All we know is from scattered newspaper articles about his activities, and from what we saw on that night we met him. All we know is what he looks like, he appears and disappears like a ghost, he only ever shows himself at night, and he's a good fighter," Natasha says.

"Well, that definitely sounds interesting," Clint says.

"I know. Oliver says he's just a vigilante, so we should just leave him be and not worry about him. But, for whatever reason, he keeps coming back to my mind. I get the feeling I shouldn't just ignore him," Natasha says.

Clint is quiet for several moments before he says, "Well, then go after him."

Natasha raises an eyebrow. Clint smiles and says, "Go find out who this guy is. Who knows? Maybe he could use your help, or you could use his. In any case, if he's as skilled as he's made out to be, it would be handy to be on his good side."

Natasha sits there for a moment before smiling. "Ever the strategist, Clint," she says. Already, she's beginning to concoct ideas for how she and Oliver might be able to track down this Moon Knight.


And, I'll end there.

So, Barry and Wanda, and Clint's family, know about Natasha's engagement to Oliver. They're definitely gonna be really happy for the wedding.

So, Natasha's decided to go after Moon Knight. She'll meet him again in 2 chapters, and get pulled into something she hadn't expected.

Next chapter should be up soon. Until it is, please leave a review, and stay tuned!
