Sarah: I miss my daaaad. My dad is sooo cute. My little daaaad... ♫

Natasha was finishing to clean the dishes and she listened to Sarah humming a song that she herself created the lyrics.

Natasha rolled her eyes.

Sarah became silent, playing with the kitten.

Sarah's cat came out of her lap and ran to the window. Sarah went to the window and saw the cat climbing the stairs.

Sarah: Kitty!!! COME BACK! MAMA!

N: Sarah, he comes back later. Cats are like that.

Sarah sat down and crossed her arms.

Sarah: I...

Natasha looked at Sarah, but Sarah didn't dare say what she had in mind.

N: What is it?

Sarah: Nothing. You're gonna fight me.

N: Maybe not, why don't you tell me?

Sarah: I... I miss my daddy, I wanna see him.

J: Oh Sarah is such a baby!

Sarah: You a baby!

Sarah showed her tongue to James and James did the same.

N: Why would I fight over it? It's normal to miss your father.

Sarah: Because I miss you too, when I'm with him.

N: All this is normal.

Sarah: Yeah, it's just that I wanted to...

N: You wanted what?

Sarah: Nothing. Can we play outside?

N: Just a little bit. We'll have lunch soon.

James and Sarah rushed to the door, Natasha wiped her hands and opened the door of the apartment. The three of them ran into Steve.

Natasha didn't expect Steve to appear so early, she stared at him in astonishment.

Sarah ran into his lap.

Sarah: Daddy!!!

S: Hi princess.

Steve kissed Sarah's forehead and extended his arm to James, who hugged his father also.

J: Dad, I joined the baseball team! I played very well, and my Mom watched and the coach praised me and he said that I will participate in the next championship.

S: Really? That's great, champ.

Natasha was still standing serious, not understanding what Steve was doing there. Steve heard the whole story of James, then looked at Natasha.

S: Sorry to show up like this without warning. I was missing them so much and since I forced you to stay with them since yesterday, I came to pick them up sooner.

Natasha kept her expression serious and shook her head, not knowing what to say.

Forced? No, she wasn't forced to stay with them. She actually wanted to spend more time with her children, but Sarah had already complained of missing her father and Natasha didn't know how to tell Steve that she wants to spend more time with the kids. She was even going to cook lunch for them today.

S: Is it okay if I take them?

Natasha made negative with her head.

S: Go get your things, guys.

Sarah and James entered the apartment and grabbed their backpacks. Sarah went to the window and saw the cat on the fire escape.

Sarah: Kitty!!! Daddy! Daddy! Run here. Come and see!

Steve and Natasha looked at each other in a strange way. Steve apologized and entered the apartment, he went to Sarah and she pointed the cat.

Sarah: Oh there, it's my kitty.

S: Oh, so that's the famous kitty.

Sarah: Yah, isn't he cute?

S: He's very cute, babe

Sarah: Yes. And he's mine, right, Mama?

Natasha nodded.

Steve took Sarah in his lap and went to the door.

S: James?

James came running with his backpack, he looked at Natasha and gave her a hug.

J: Thanks for taking me to the game, Mom.

Natasha looked at James and nodded, giving a small smile.

James took Steve's hand and they went to the elevator. Natasha looked at them from the doorway.

N: Steve?

Steve turned to look at Natasha.

N: I... uh... I've been thinking that... Maybe I can pick them up at school. You already take them there everyday, so I could pick them and took them home.

S: No need. It's Okay....

N: But I want to.

Steve raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

S: Okay...

N: Did you find a new babysitter? I can help with this. We could take turns to watch them.

S: I'll think about it. See you around.

N: Yah...

Steve stepped into the elevator. Sarah waved at Natasha and James smiled at his mom.

Natasha was already missing the children and they are not even gone yet, she doesn't know what is this that she is feeling, but she wants to stay with them forever.

...

On Monday, Hill and Natasha were at SHIELD and Natasha commented on the difficulty of working because the nanny resigned.

Hill promised to find someone of extreme confidence to help Natasha and Steve.

In the middle of the week, Hill announced that she had found someone to look after the children. Natasha was at the Avengers Base and Hill took care of taking the nanny there for her and Steve to meet.

Natasha was with Pepper and Carol Danvers hitting details about the operations of the Avengers. Hill asked Natasha and Steve to meet her in the waiting room next to the lobby since the new nanny was not allowed to enter the Base facilities.

Natasha and Steve met in the hallway, on the way to the elevator. Steve pressed the button to call the elevator and was in a bad mood.

N: Why do you have to make everything a big deal?

S: I didn't even say anything.

N: Now you're not, but I just said I got us a new nanny and you got all moody. You think I don't care about Sarah and James?

S: I didn't say that. I just don't know if that person you got is trustworthy.

N: And would I get someone who is not trustworthy to take care of my children? I trust Hill and I'm sure she investigated the nanny's whole life before introduce her to us.

Steve and Natasha got into the elevator, they basically just argued every time they met. The two of them were silent until they reached the room where Hill was. As soon as they entered, the nanny got up and smiled. Natasha and Steve looked at her and liked her right away. There was just something sweet about her way, that made them a lot more comfortable now.

H: Guys, this is Laura, she was a teacher in her hometown and now she takes care of children.

Steve squeezed Laura's hand to greet her.

Laura: It's nice to meet you, I saw you all the time on TV.

Laura smiled.

H: I'm sure she's a great professional. I checked all her references.

S: I just think we should arrange a visit for you to meet the kids.

Laura: Of course, they have to approve me or not, since they gonna spent a lot of time with me.

Steve smiled and nodded.

Natasha and Steve asked a series of questions and at the end of the interview, Steve and Natasha were very pleased with Laura. Since it was time to get the children at school, Steve suggested that Natasha take Laura to his apartment while he pick the children at school, so he would have time to tell the News and presente them.

Natasha nodded and left the room with Laura.

Steve also left and went to get the car.

Natasha led Laura to her car. As they passed the front door, Clint was arriving at the base, he simply stopped at the sight of Laura.

Natasha looked at Clint and snapped her fingers.

N: Barton?

C: Hi?

Laura smiled and looked away, feeling a little embarassad.

N: Are you going to stand in front of us?

Natasha frowned.

C: S-Sorry...

Clint stepped aside and Natasha passed with Laura, who before entering the car, looked back and saw Clint still looking at her.

L: Who is that guy?

Natasha looked at Clint and then at Laura.

N: Oh, that's Clint Barton. He has a girlfriend.

L: Oh... I-I... I wasn't asking b-b-because of that...

Laura shook her head.

N: We never know, right?

Natasha started the car.

Clint entered the base and spotted Hill.

C: Who was that woman with Natasha?

H: Laura? She's the new baby sitter.

C: Laura? Is that her name?

Hill frowned at Clint.

H: Yes, why?

C: N-nothing...

H: I think Bobbi is waiting for you.

Clint glanced at Hill, who was judging him by the way he was impressed with Laura. Clint went upstairs to meet Bobbi.

...

Sarah: Daddy!

S: Let's run and get James. I have a surprise for you.

Sarah: What is it?

S: I'll tell you when we get James.

Steve picked up James at the entrance to his school.

Sarah: Daddy has a surprise for us. It's a big present!!!

S: Well, it's not a present.

J: What is it?

S: We found a new nanny for you.

Sarah and James broke the smiles.

S: She's really nice, you'll like her.

J: No.

S: James...

J: I want Cindy!

S: Cindy can't work for us anymore, son. You already know that and you have to meet Laura before you say you don't want her.

J: All right.

S: Let's get lunch at Elisa and take it home.

Steve walked into the diner, Elisa smiled as she saw Steve and the children. She approached them.

E: Your table is ready.

S: Actually, we're not staying.

Elisa didn't disguise the disappointment.

S: We found a new nanny and she's waiting to meet the kids.

E: Oh yes, I understand. And why didn't you call me back?

Steve frowned, confused.

S: Well I...

E: I thought you had fun that day.

J: What day?

James frowned.

S: Elisa... I'm sorry, of course I had fun. I told you, I'm not used to these date things and I didn't remember to call you. I'm really sorry.

E: I hope you have at least thought of me a little bit...

Elisa smiled and Steve smiled back.

J: No! He was thinking about my mom!

S: James!

Steve looked serious at James, then he looked back to Elisa.

S: Don't care about him. I'm sorry.

E: Alright. I'll prepare your orders.

Elisa looked sad and moved away.

Steve felt bad, he didn't call her because he didn't feel the need. When Elisa returned, Steve took the food and looked at her again.

S: How can I apologize myself to you?

E: A dinner. In my house.

J: No!

S: James!

J: No!

E: It's okay if you can't...

S: Yes, I can. Tomorrow. It is okay?

Elisa nodded. Steve paid and retired with the children.

Steve looked at James reproachfully.

S: James, that was very bad. That was not polite. You can't talk to adults like that.

J: I don't like her.

S: But why??? What has she done to you?

James crossed his arms, feeling upset. Steve was also upset, he drove home and upon arriving, Natasha was already inside the apartment with Laura.

Sarah came running and hugged Natasha.

Sarah: Mama. Mama! Who is this lady?

Laura smiled at Sarah.

L: My name is Laura. And who are you?

Sarah: Sarah.

L: What a beautiful name you have, Sarah. And you're such a pretty girl with this orange hair and freckles...

S: How do you say it, Sarah?

Sarah: Thank you.

Sarah smiled at Laura.

L: You are welcome.

James came in the apartment, still upset and he was already going to his bedroom.

S: James? We have visit. Say good afternoon...

J: Good afternoon.

James whispered with folded arms and angry face.

S: I didn't listen...

J: Good afternoon!

James shouted angrily this time. Steve was startled by his aggressiveness.

S: James! I...

Laura motioned for Steve not discuss with James.

Laura looked at James.

L: I think James is upset at the moment.

S: But he can't be disrespectful.

L: Not at all, I agree... but maybe James needs to be alone for a while, until he calms down. Right, James?

James looked at Laura and didn't answer.

L: I think James can go to his room, he will calm down, then he will come back here and apologize for being rude, or he can just be punished and stay in his room anyway for the resto f the day.

James was looking Laura.

L: If it was me, I'd calm down and apologize... What do you think, Sarah?

Sarah: I would say sorry. I don't like to be alone. No, no, no.

Laura smiled at Sarah, then looked at James.

L: What do you think, James? Apologize or be grounded?

J: Apologize.

L: Good! So you can play when you're calmer. Go to your room and come back when you think you're ready.

James looked at Laura, then he took his backpack, went to his bedroom and closed the door.

Steve was amazed.

S: You're good.

Laura smiled.

Sarah: Can you make cakes?

L: Not just cake, little Sarah! I also can make like ice cream and cookies. And flowers! I can teach you everything. Do you want to learn?

Sarah nodded.

Sarah: Yeeesss!!

Natasha looked at Steve.

N: I think we have a nanny.

Steve smiled and nodded.

S: When can you start?

L: Tomorrow.

Steve nodded, they settled the pay and schedules, Steve explained about the activities as Avenger and that Laura would have to sleep sometimes there, since he doesn't know her as he knew Cindy to let the children go to her house.

Natasha said she would pay half of Laura's salary.

N: Well, I'll leave you at home.

S: See you tomorrow, Laura.

L: See you. Thank you very much. Goodbye, Sarah.

Sarah nodded.

L: Bye James!

Laura said louder, James appeared in the doorway of the room, his face still upset.

J: Bye.

Natasha got up to leave and Steve's cell phone rang.

When Steve picked up his cell phone he noticed it was Elisa and he was embarrassed to answer the call there in front of Natasha.

Natasha did not see the caller on the display, but Steve was so nervous that it could only be another woman.

Again the feeling of possession bothered Natasha, so she left the apartment soon so she wouldn't have to hear anything that did not please her.

...

The next day, at the base of the Avengers, Tony announced that he would throw a birthday party for Clint Barton at his mansion. Natasha has tremendous esteem for Clint and would have to go.

Tony also announced that it would be a kind of dance, so everyone should bring a pair.

The party was set for Saturday.

...

At the end of the day, Steve went to Elisa's house. He bought a wine for dinner. He rang the bell and Elisa answered the door, and she smiled broadly at Steve.

S: Wow... You look beautiful.

E: Oh, thank you. You too. Please, come in.

Steve smiled and walked into Elisa's house.

Elisa's dog barked at Steve.

E: Easy, Mimi.

S: I didn't know you had a pet.

E: I have, this is Mimi. She always reacts when a man arrives, she thinks it's my crazy ex and she'll have to defend me.

S: Defend you?

E: Yes... My ex was... a bit aggressive.

S: Did he hurt you?

E: Sometimes, but I left him. I'm already over it. He's not a problem anymore. Come and sit please.

Elisa went to the dining table and sat down with Steve, the food was already served. The two had dinner and talked about Elisa's aggressive ex-boyfriend who still haunts her once in awhile.

Steve has that sense of heroism and has already volunteered to talk to her ex so he would leave her alone for good. Elisa acepted and got even more attracted to him.

After dinner, Elisa took a bottle of wine and sat down on the couch, Steve wiped his mouth on the napkin and sat down next to Elisa, looking at the floor, because he was feeling very awkawrd there.

Elisa found Steve's shyness very funny and charming, she served the wine for them both. She handed Steve's glass and sat on her side, her body turned to Steve.

E: So what's it like being a hero?

S: I don't like the hero title. We don't do too much.

E: Don't do much? You only save thousands of lives everyday... c'mon!

Elisa laughed and Steve smiled uncomfortably.

Elisa reached up to the back of Steve's neck and stroked lightly. Steve was going to take her hand away from him, but he knows he has to try, so he allowed her affection.

E: I think you're a very brave man, Steve Rogers. You're a great dad and a great man and yet you are very humble, I think that's what I admire most about you. Your courage, kindness and honesty.

Steve shook his head and blushed.

Elisa moved closer to him and Steve looked at her, he took a deep breath and this time, he took the initiative to kiss Elisa.

As he took the initiative for the kiss, the kiss was more intense than the first time, Elisa let the wineglass fall to the floor and threw herself at Steve, which made him stop kissing her.

E: Wh-what? What is wrong?

S: Nothing... I just... I'm sorry, I can't.

E: And why not? Your ex?

S: No... It's not that, I swear it, but I can't spend the night here because of my children...

E: Oh yes, I understand...

S: But I want to, but not today.

E: Okay...

S: I have a party at the end of the week, all the Avengers will be there. Do you want to go with me?

E: Me? As your date?

S: Yes, as my date.

Elisa was surprised and smiled, nodding. Taking her to meet his friends is a step higher than taking her to bed, actually.

Steve corrected the posture on the couch and gave Elisa a weird peck on the lips.

S: I have to go.

E: Okay. Thank you for the wine.

Steve and Elisa got up.

S: Thank you for dinner.

Elisa threw herself back into Steve's arms and kissed him again, it was hard to let him go, having him there in her house and doing Nothing. She wants to go to bed with him, but Steve was firm to his decisiou, he finished the kiss giving her two pecks on the lips and then he walked to the door.

Elisa sighed and opened the door, Steve kissed her cheek and left.

...

Laura called Natasha's cell phone, asking if Steve was going to be long, because it was too late and she needed to go.

Natasha offered to stay with the children while Steve wouldn't arrive, she got there in twenty minutes, Laura said goodbye and left.

Natasha looked at Sarah and James.

N: How was the first day with Laura?

J: She's ok.

Sarah: She's really nice. She hold my bag and look what she did in my hair!

Natasha noticed Sarah's hair full of flowers and braided.

N: You look beautiful, honey.

Natasha looked at the clock and didn't understand Steve's delay, he has not gone on missions, she knows because she was at the Avengers Base.

N: Do you know where your father is?

J: No...

Sarah: Yes, we knoe. He went to dinner with Elisa in her house, but he didn't let me go with him!

Sarah complained.

J: Shut up, Sarah.

James frowned at his sister.

Sarah: You shut up!

Natasha heard what Sarah said and it was hard to believe that Steve is really dating Elisa. If he is going out with her again, that means he likes her and is investing on her.

Natasha automatically became in a bad mood.

Twent minutes later, Steve arrived at home and he was surprised to see Natasha there and not Laura.

S: Natasha? You're here... What happened?

N: It happened that you have forgotten your children.

S: I didn't forget my children, I am just late.

N: I don't care. We will end up losing this nanny too, because of you. Have a good night, Rogers!

Natasha passed by Steve, left the apartment and slammed the door.

Natasha didn't even say goodbye to her kids, and Steve was still trying to figure out why she was so aggressive with him.

...

Natasha went straight to Hill's apartment because she needed her heartfelt words.

Hill opened the door, wrapped up in a sheet, with nothing else below.

N: Hill? There is someone here with you?

H: What do you think? I'm naked...

- Do you want me to leave?

Hill looked into the apartment and watched Henry, the guy she met the other day with Sarah. She made negative with her head.

H: Natasha, I really can't right now. This guy is hoooot! You woulnd't believe it!

N: Damn! Alright. I guess I'm just going to a bar and drink myself to death!

H: Yah, yah, yah. Do it!

Hill closed the door on Natasha's face, which made her even more upset.

Natasha went to a bar near her house. As soon as she entered the bar, she went straight to the counter and ordered pure vodka.

- I think I know you.

Natasha looked at the man.

- Now, I'm sure I know you... I saw you on that place of heroes.

The bar owner was serving Natasha. He handed her the drink and Natasha acknowledging him as well.

N: Luke, right?

Luke: Yes. Luke Cage. You seem to be on a bad day.

N: Yes, I am.

Luke: You're on the right place, then. Excuse me, I have to atend the others.

Luke moved away.

- Perhaps a little company would make you feel better, Miss Romanoff.

Natasha looked at the guy next to her and recognized him. It was the lawyer of the divorce, Matt Murdock.

N: This bar is more popular than I imagined.

M: It seems so. Can I seat here?

N: Well, the bar is a public place, so...

Natasha turned to not look at Matt, showing indifference.

Matt sat up and rested his guide on the counter.

N: Are you alone here?

M: Yes.

N: But is it safe for you? I mean, you blind walking around alone at this hour... The night is not safe to walk.

M: That's why I love it.

N: Have you been born blind? I'm sorry, is that wrong to ask that?

Natasha was being sarcastic.

M: No, I lost my vision as a child.

Matt answered normally.

N: Uhm...

Matt ordered a beer and took a sip, with his face in Natasha's direction.

Natasha stared at him and she got the feeling that Matt could actually see her.

N: Luke? Can I have another shot, please?

M: There are few women who like pure vodka.

N: I'm Russian and how do you know I'm drinking Vodka?

M: I know you're. I noticed the accent and I know you're drinking vodka because I can smell it.

N: I don't have an accent.

Natasha felt offended.

M: You speak English very well, but I can hear very well too.

Matt smiled and took another sip of his beer. Natasha was annoyed at how calm Matt is, no one asked him to talk to her or try to talk to her.

M: Do you like pool?

Natasha looked at him, her eyebrow raised.

M: It's very relaxing. You seem to be needing to be distracted.

Natasha took a deep breath and concluded that it was true.

N: How does a blind man play pool?

M: There's only one way to find out...

Matt got up and used the guide to walk to the pool tables.

Natasha watched as Matt put the balls on the pool table and he put the balls in the right place, he took two cues that were hanging on the wall and extended one of them in the direction of Natasha.

Natasha was again suspicious of Matt's blindness, she took the resto f the drink in once and stood up.

Natasha went to Matt and got the cue, she was surprised to lose for Matt, already in the first match.

Natasha and Murdock played pool for hours.

N: Okay, alright! You won.

M: I didn't know you're a good loser.

N: I have a good heart and let you win for pity.

M: Keep trying to convince yourself of that.

Natasha laughed and Matt too.

Natasha looked at Matt a little more and she decided that he was and attractive man, even being blind and Natasha thought that she had only been in bed with one man since the accident, Steve, and that's not how she is.

And, Natasha thought about Steve dating Elisa, if he got late tonight it was because he was having sex with Elisa, maybe he is having sex with her all those days, and she is just being a mom and a worker and it's time for her to have some fun. It was time for her to go to bed with someone else, she is single, so why not Matt?

N: Matt?

M: Hmm?

N: Do you live nearby?

M: Yes, in a block away from here.

N: Good.

Natasha was in the tenth glass of Vodka, she drank it at once, then she placed the glass on the bar counter, and pulled Matt by the hand to leave the bar.

Matt paid the bill in a hurry before being dragged out of the bar.

As Natasha stepped out the door of the bar, Natasha held Matt's suit collar with both hands and threw him against the wall, Matt didn't even have time to react, Natasha slid her body into his and then placed her mouth on his.

Matt let the guide fall to the floor and hugged Natasha's waist, he slipped the palm of his hand under Natasha's blouse to try to get to know her body, he could feel that Natasha has a beautiful body and that she has a body marked by scars.

Natasha frowned as she kissed Matt because he was already with his hands under her shirt and he seemed to be the good, shy and decent guy, but he knows exactly what he's doing. He's good at it!

Matt held tight to Natasha's waist and lifted her a little from the ground, he turned her body, making her stand against the wall and pressed his body against hers, he let his scaped from Natasha's mouth and slid down to her neck.

Matt touched Natasha's body, as if he was seeing her body through his hands. And all of Matt Murdock's touches were extremely firm. Natasha felt that he was very experienced with women.

M: We should go to my apartment... I mean... we're on the street... we can be arrested.

Matt walked away a bit from Natasha and she agreed to go to his home, the two of them were walking to Matt's apartment but they stopped every 5 minutes to make out on the street, there was no one on the street at that hour and Natasha don't care at all to be seen like that.

The two went up costly to Matt's apartment and they had sex until morning. Natasha didn't feel any remorse, because in her head, Steve had been having sex with Elisa for a long time, and neither of them owed anything to each other, they're single, so...

That's what Natasha repeated all the time to herself.

In the morning, Natasha woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She looked around and didn't recognize where she was, but she remembered everything she did.

Matt yawned and woke up right away.

N: You have a visitor.

Matt was slow to wake up fully, he got up from the bed and found a pair of underwear. As he put on his underwear, Matt walked out of the bedroom and went into the living room.

Matt opened the door and it was his assistant Karen.

K: Matt. Good Morning.

M: Karen...

K: I came to get you, but you're not even dressed yet...

M: I'm sorry, I...

Matt stopped talking because Natasha appeared behind him, wearing only her bra and panties.

Natasha saw her clothes on the floor, she picked it up and got dressed.

Karen looked at Natasha in surprise.

Natasha went to the door, while fixing her hair.

N: Excuse me.

Natasha said to Karen and walked by her and Matt.

Natasha left Matt's place as if nothing had happened, nor did she say goodbye to Matt.

Karen opened her mouth to say something, but the disappointment she was feeling was enormous and she just closed her eyes.

Matt knows that Karen feels something for him, he never corresponded, but also never implied that nothing would ever happen between them.

K: I think... I'm going.

M: Karen...

K: It's okay, Matt. I'll ask for a taxi to pick you up when you ready.

Karen walked away.

...

Natasha stopped by her apartment for a shower, then she went to SHIELD. When she got there, Hill was in a good mood.

N: You're so obvious when you finally get some dick.

H: I don't hide it from anyone.

N: Well, I spent the night with somebody too.

Hill rolled her eyes.

H: Oh let me guess... Steve? Again? And now you're regret...

Natasha shook her head and Hill's eyes widened.

H: It's not Steve?

N: Steve is fucking the waitress now. I told you.

H: He is already banging her?

N: Of course, why would he wait??

H: And how are you with that?

N: What do you mean??? I'm great! I had a great night!

H: Who? Do I know him?

N: I don't think so. He was the divorce lawyer.

H: My God, Natasha. The lawyer who divorced you, that's so low...

N: And he's blind.

H: Wow, oh my God. Are you up fot charity now?

N: Don't make jokes, Hill.

H: I can't control myself. I mean, I'm glad you're having fun. So is Steve, so there's nothing wrong with that...

Natasha smiled faded away a little and Hill noticed.

H: But of course he still loves you.

N: Why are you saying that?

H: The love he feels is not easy to just erase from his life. He may be dating someone else, but it's just his cock asking to be sastified. His heart belongs to you.

N: You're disgusting, you know that?

H: That's true. He's a man, he needs sex more than we do. It surprises me that Steve took so long to go out with another woman...

N: Whatever.

H: By the way, I want to take Sarah out for a walk on Sunday.

Natasha frowned.

N: Why??

H: Because... Because... I like her company.

N: Hill...

H: Seriously. She's funny, I enjoyed that day with her.

N: Uhm... it's okay... I guess.

Natasha thought it is weird to let Sarah go walk with Hill, just because Hill hate children, but maybe Sarah has soften her heart, just as she softed hers.

H: Do you know the guy who was with me yesterday?

N: Yes.

H: Oh God, Natasha...

Hill rolles her eyes and bit her lower lip.

N: That good, huh?

H: Oh yes!!! So good and I'm going to take him to Tony's party.

N: Geez, is that serious?

H: No, not that serious, but he is handsome and I want to impress everybody with him. Who are you going with?

N: I don't know if I will.

H: It's Clint's birthday!

N: I know. Maybe I'll invite Matt.... I don't know.

Natasha shrugged.

H: So it's gonna have round 2? That's my girl.

Hill smiled.

...

Matt accepted Natasha's invitation.

On Saturday night, she arrived with Matt at Tony's mansion.

Tony turned the house into a nightclub practically, lights, smoke, DJ, pole dance, all of more expensive.

As soon as Natasha stepped inside the room, in her fair and low-cut dress, she attracted the attention of men and women, especially Steve's who was with Elisa, Bucky, Sam and Sharon chatting next to a wall.

Steve stared at Natasha from head to toe involuntarily, and when Natasha arrived the first thing she did, was search for Steve to see his reaction to the way she is dressed.

Natasha noticed the look Steve gave her and felt happy with that.

If he thinks the waitress is better than her, she'll prove to him that she is not.

Natasha grabbed Matt's arm and walked over to Clint Barton. Natasha disguised herself to look over her shoulder at Steve again, to see if he was still looking at her, and he was. Natasha smirked and she made a point of flirting and talking only with Matt Murdock for hours.

Steve was overcome with anger at seeing Natasha with another man, he could barely disguise how uncomfortable he was.

E: Steve???

S: Huh?

Sam: Hey, are you in the moonlight, man?

S: Sorry. What did you say?

E: I was asking if you could get me a drink.

S: Oh yeah... Sure.

Steve moved away to go to Tony's impromptu bar. Rhodey was serving the drinks along with Luke Cage.

Natasha saw Steve at the bar and asked Matt to wait for her that she would pick a drink.

S: Can you give me a Martini, Rhodey?

N: Your date is looking beautiful tonight...

Steve looked to the side and saw Natasha, she was with those fatal stares on him, and she said it in a sarcastic tone. Steve felt his body freeze.

S: She is indeed.

N: What about me?

S: What about you?

N: Everyone came to compliment me. What about you?

S: I don't have to tell you that you look beautiful, Natasha. You know that.

N: Yes. I know...

Natasha smiled, she gestured to Luke and he served Vodka for her. Natasha took the glass and took a long drink, looking at Steve, who tried as hard as he could to look away from her.

S: I didn't know you got so close to my lawyer.

Natasha shrugged.

N: It happens...

S: Yeah... it does... Excuse me.

N: Sure.

Steve stepped away and moved closer to Elisa again.

Natasha grabbed a beer and took it to Matt.

Thor approached Steve with a bottle.

Thor: Steve Rogers! Look what I brought for you.

S: No, no, I'm not drinkin it.

E: And why not? Everyone should have fun.

Said Elisa hoping that if drunk, Steve would definitely go to bed with her tonight.

Sam: Relax, Steve, it's a party. Have a drink, man.

S: Okay.

Steve took Thor's bottle and took a sip. Thor smiled and hit Steve on the shoulder.

Later on, Steve eventually got a little drunk because he was drinking slowly.

Tony put on more agitaded songs, Natasha, Carol Danves and Jessica Drew were dancing with the other guests on the dance floor. No matter what Natasha did, she found Steve staring straight at her and that was what she loved.

A little later, Natasha left the dance floor, she went to the bar and ordered a glass of champagne. She took a sip, and even with her back to the party, she could feel someone watching her and she knew it, it was Steve.

Natasha walked to one of the hallways of Tony's mansion, there was no one in there, so she continued to walk slowly, then she turned around and looked directly at Steve, he was following her with his gaze.

Natasha turned her back again and walked down the hall, leaving the party. Atractting her prey straight to her spiderweb.

E: Oh God, you're so funny! Steve, your friend is a comedy! I am loving this party.

S: Huh? Yes. Sam is very funny.

Steve forced a laugh. He approached his face to Elisa's ear.

S: I'll be right back.

Elisa looked at Steve and nodded. She turned to continue the conversation with Sam and Sharon.

Steve took another sip of the Asgard's drink and put the bottle on the table, he approached the hallway where Natasha got in and looked back to see if somebody was watching him go in the same direction as her.

Steve came into the hallway and it was a long one, but there was no sign of Natasha.

There were several doors along the hallway, Steve opened them all and didn't find Natasha in any of them.

At the end of the corridor, Steve saw a long staircase and on top of it, Natasha was leaning against the handrail, with a glass of champagne in hand.

Natasha looked at Steve and turned her face, she finished going up the stairs and entered one of the bedrooms.

Steve doesn't know why he was going after her, he couldn't reason right, he just knew he had to go ater her.

Steve went upstairs and saw the bedroom door open, he approached the door and when he came into the room, he found Natasha standing next to a dresses with her back to him.

Natasha placed the glass on the dresser and looked at Steve over her shoulder.

Steve stared into her eyes, then he closed the door behind him.
