Yelena had secretly called Clint and his family for them to come. Both for Kate to continue her internship directly with him, and to surprise Natasha. Clint and his family arrived at their house. Kate and Clint hugged, as Yelena hugged Nathaniel. She looked at Cooper and Clint, and said. "Whoa, Cooper is so much taller than you now." Clint sighed, "Yep, not so little anymore. He's 6'1 now. I may not be so tall, but he beat me by a good four inches." She laughed. Laura teased, "I mean yeah. Who said daddy has to be the tall one?" Yelena went back to Natasha's room, and checked on her. "It's not even red anymore, it's fine." She threw a shirt at her and said, "Come on outside." She went outside to be happily greeted by Clint and his family.
"Natasha! There's my favorite spy! Come here!" She joyfully embraced him. "What took you so long to come outside?" "Oh, uh...Yelena and Kate were gonna check up on me for something that happened last night. Yeah, by the way, I may have gained some weight..." Clint teased her and said, "A little more than just some" Before laughing, and Natasha put her fists up and said, "Of course, if you want to throw down, you know I'm always here!" And punched his shoulder a few times. He said, "Yeah, it's been a while! Let's do it." It was a tad bit sudden since Clint and his family had just arrived and Natasha had woken up less than an hour ago. Yelena asked, "Natasha, are you su-" "Yes." "Okay then. Start!" Natasha immediately started attacking and landed a few of her hits. Unfortunately, she attempted a straight punch, and Clint ducked down, and did a frontwards karate chop, and hit her right in the navel. He then gave an easy knee to the head and a sucker kick to the belly to knock her down. He put his foot on her tummy, and she quickly started tapping the ground when she saw his other foot move. Yelena said, "And Clint wins. Natasha, I told you it wasn't a good idea." "Ugh. My tummy hurts." Kate explained. "Yesterday, me and Natasha fenced without shirts on. I hit her in the belly button after she hit me up here." She tapped right between her ribs. Cooper looked in surprise. Lila told Natasha, "Auntie Nat, I'm surprised. You kind of got your butt kicked by my dad." "Yeah, I know. So, what do we wanna do today" Nathaniel said, "We should all go to the water park!" Lila added, "We made sure to buy swimsuits!" Yelena looked happy. "How sweet, did you get some for your favorite aunties, too?" Lila smiled, "You bet!" and gave her two adult-sized bikinis. Yelena's eyes lit up. "These are so cool! I see you even got these with the Black Widow logo on them!" Lila pulled out a gray bikini with the black widow symbol and said, "And we got me one, too!" Natasha inhaled. Obviously, she didn't like wearing bikinis, but she didn't want to disappoint Lila. Yelena said, "I'm gonna get changed now, you guys go ahead, too!" Everyone got changed, put on sunscreen, and wore their normal clothes above their swimsuits. Lila simply just wore an unbuttoned shirt and shorts over hers. Natasha said, "Ooh, little Lila is showing off?" Lila replied, "If I'm little, so are you!" She was about the same height as her mom and Natasha. "Someone's been playing sports! What kinds?" "Haha, just archery and volleyball." Clint said, "yep, she's my girl alright." Cooper said, "Volleyball is dope, but basketball is better." Clint took his two sons with him in one car while Natasha took Yelena, Kate, Laura, and Lila in her car. Clint, Cooper, and Nathaniel simply just had to take their shirts off and put their clothes for after in a locker, while Natasha, Yelena, Kate, and Lila all got changed. Laura decided not to go in the water today, as she wanted to just stay back and watch their stuff. They all came outside.
Kate was wearing a very distinct and flashy purple bikini. Lila told Kate, "Whoa, your abs are really defined. Can I-" Kate chuckled, "Punch them? Go ahead." Lila punched a few times. "Whoa. You really don't miss a day of training." Kate said, "You must be learning well because you're in really good shape yourself!" Lila nodded. She may have only recently turned 17, but she was already growing into a very pretty young lady. Nat was walking around with her arms covering her belly. Lila, confused, looked at Kate, who shrugged, and then at Yelena, who smiled at her. "You even got my favorite color, white! And Natasha's in black!" Natasha happily nodded with her arms still over it. That gave Lila an idea. She smoothly held her arms out for a hug, and Natasha unknowingly let go of her belly, causing it to drop a little bit. They hugged, and as they were hugging Lila looked down in surprise. Natasha's belly was touching her a lot, and not just because they were similar heights now. They all went outside and met up. They put their stuff down near a table, and Clint got snacks for everyone. Natasha got a small can of beer, and Yelena criticized her for it. "Only a little for today." Lila had some chips, and Natasha took them, as she was standing. Lila laughed and said, "Come on, Aunt Nat. Hand 'em back." Yelena told her to press the ejector button. Lila was confused at first, but then remembered Natasha telling her what her weakness was, and realized why she was walking with her arms like that. She poked Natasha's belly button with her right hand, causing her to drop it and Lila caught it with her left. Yelena giggled, "Smart girl. Got what I meant" Laura finally said, "Nat, Yelena, you both kind of have tummies now. What happened?" "Ugh." Natasha covered her belly up. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, you're still in pretty good shape. I heard about how you beat Kate in a fight." "Yeah, but not in a fencing match." "Nat, I'm a fencing champion. Don't beat yourself up about it." Yelena said, "A lot of slushies and candy for me, it's worth it." She patted her belly a few times, having a bit more fat than normal and her belly sticking out slightly more than her breasts. Nathaniel asked, "What's that scar on your tummy?" Clint told him, "She got it while saving a scientist. She was shot while protecting him." "Oh okay." Natasha began to cover it, so Lila reassured her, "Don't cover it! It's badass. It shows that you're a hero!" Kate smirked, "I told you so, Nat. Nothing wrong with having battle scars." She turned around to show a mark on her back. "I got this one while fending people off for a mission with Clint once." Cooper said, "That's so cool. I've never been on missions, too busy doing lame college stuff." Kate laughed, "Having a 4.0 in engineering does not sound lame to me." Cooper smiled, "Thanks Kate." Natasha suddenly added, "I feel so weird, being out in public and wearing so little." Lila admitted, "No offense or anything, but I could tell from how pale you are that it'd been a while since you'd gone out like this." Natasha giggled. "Well yeah, when you have a bullet scar and a hanging tummy, you won't want to do it." Yelena said, "Yeah, which is why if I ever go swimming, usually I wear the bikini and Nat only wears the one piece, which might explain why I always kick her ass so much! Because I have less clothes holding me back." This made everyone crack up. Yelena then added, "But it's been awhile since I've been out like this, I didn't realize my tummy hangs this much now." Lila said, "Your tummy doesn't hang that much." Natasha put two fingers on each hand, and traced the bottoms, to put them under her belly. She then shook a little bit. "Yeah, a lot of sandwiches and chips will do this to you." Yelena put her finger in her belly button, and shook it, showing that she had significant belly fat. Yelena rolled her eyes upon Natasha taking another sip of beer. The can was empty now. Yelena said, "Don't drink in front of Clint's family. And you know where that beer is going? All here." She poked her sister in the navel. Natasha looked down, "yeah, honestly it was never too flat. I was always conscious trying to hide it." Yelena said, "I have a tummy. You are entering potbelly levels!" Lila then saw Nathaniel near the pool, and knowing it was a smaller and shallow pool, she pushed him in. She knew it'd be funny, but that he was safe since it was only three feet deep. When she walked away, she was near the bigger pool, and Cooper caught his sister in a bear hug, and jumped in the pool with her, and she screamed as she fell in. As they resurfaced out, she was like "Goddammit, Cooper" while laughing and splashing water into his face. As they got out of the pool, a creep approached them. He told Lila, "Hey girlie, you lookin' fine." He took one step towards her and reached his hand towards her chest, and she quickly slapped it out of the way and kneed him in the crotch. Cooper then gave the man two sharp punches to the ribs, picked him up, and aggressively threw him into the pool. He put his arm around her, and Lila hugged him. "I know I'm safe with you, big bro." He said "You did most of the work. I just threw his ass out." Clint beamed seeing this, happy that his daughter and older son were so close. Kate joined Lila and Cooper in the bigger pool. Yelena told Nat, what are we waiting for, let's go!" And she and Nat decided to finally go in together.
NOTE: The next chapter will be focused a bit more on the Barton kids, and not as much on Natasha and Yelena.
