Chapter 13: Lunch & dinner and visit to Asgard

Weirdly enough, its been about a week but no one from shield has come to spy on us yet. I say yet, because today Bree and I are out for a walk and I spot a shield car tailing us. Knowing who it is I tell Bree to act normal as we head into a local diner for some lunch. The shield car pulls into s parking spot and out steps Natasha in her casual clothes, jeans shirt and a denim jacket. Coming inside she stares at me specifically until I gesture her to come sit to which she gives a nod and sits next to Bree across from me.

After an awkward silence with her just staring at me probably trying to measure me up, I say, "So, Ms. Romanoff, would you like some lunch? Bree is buying, hehe." Bree gives me a glare and a "Hmph" since she lost another bet in a game of cards last night, never stood a chance. Finally answering me Natasha says, "Sure, haven't eaten yet today, thanks Bree." Bree just gives another pout and a "Yep." short and sweet answers, always. *sigh* After ordering her food she finally asks me, "What exactly are you? Director Fury told us some things about you but I know you didn't tell him everything." Chuckling at her curiosity I ponder for a moment giving off a "Hmm". "Do you believe in God?" Giving me a sigh now she responds, "Kind of hard to believe in something that doesn't respond back, no?" Nodding I reply, "True, I spent almost 10 years, once a day asking any higher existence to take me from my mortal life and if possible, to reincarnate me into another world. Close your eyes and try sending a prayer to me, just for curiosity sake, lets say a dream or goal you have or had." Giving it some thought she says the obvious answer in the form of a prayer to me. "Not sure if this will work but here we go, my ability to have children was taken from me and some people say that god can heal them. This is all I want, after that I can plan my life happily after working for shield."

Chuckling at her response, she looks angry that I'd make fun of her but I calm her by sending her a mental message saying, "And if I make a condition that you have to agree to for me to heal you would you consider it?" Looking shocked that I responded back to her prayer, she says, "Depends on the condition." Nodding to that I say, "A simple condition, have dinner with me and tell me about yourself, Natalia." Giving a grin, she flinches a little not understanding how I even know her real name having only met her once last week. Giving it some real thought, she finally says, "I accept, on the condition that if things get too personal for me the conversation ends." Chuckling I say, "Granted, only after dinner, should you make it through dinner without leaving I'll heal you to 100%. Regenerating your reproductive system as well as your purity, you have my word on that." Giving me a nod she gets up to leave and I say one more thing, "Natasha, do pray to me when you want to have that dinner, my treat." Giving a small smile she nods and walks to her car to leave. Turing to Bree who looks confused I say, "We'll be working with her as well as the rest of the Avengers for a while, best to be friends than on bad terms." Nodding to my logic, we eat and then head home.

Three days later I hear Natasha praying to me, "Would you like to have that dinner tonight?" Grinning I reply, "Of course, if you're ready I'll pick you up." Telling me she has already prepared for dinner I open a portal in front of her to my living room. Bree has gone to my inner world to try and improve her GoB(Gates of Babylon) trick for the night. Seeing Natasha come through, I must say she's beautiful, exactly the same as the movies portrayed her. "Good evening Natasha, you look lovely." Giving her hand a kiss, 'I'm a gentleman, sue me.' she gives me a genuine smile for the first time. "Thank you. So, what's for dinner?" Gesturing for her to come to the dining room I say, "Considering you're country of origin, I've made beef stroganoff. Being a mid 19th century recipe from Russia that was made known worldwide afterwards. Please, sit and help yourself." Giving a smile and a nod, we both sit down and start to eat.

"Wow, this is amazing." Chuckling and giving her a smile I say, "Thank you. I pride myself on making an impression as well as being the best cook to exist." Raising an eyebrow to that, she doesn't say anything for a few minutes and just enjoys the food. Moving to the living room and standing by a window she finally speaks up she says, "My real name is Natalia Alianovna Romanoff, born in Russia, 1984. In the 90's I graduated from the red room. The graduation ceremony was to sterilize the graduates saying it makes killing easier not having to worry about family. Being one of the top graduates, I was recruited into the KGB and from there Clint Barton recruited me to S.H.I.E.L.D where I'm currently working. Is that enough information for you? Very few people know about my past to that extent." Giving a sad smile, I come to her as she looks confused but I hug her saying, "I'm sorry." Returning the hug she actually snuggles into my chest more than anyone besides Rose has done. 'Ok, maybe opening up like that made her too emotional. Yep, there's the tears.' Now silently sobbing on me I say, "Let it out, I'm not going anywhere." Rubbing her back she doesn't cry out loud but I can tell she didn't want to rethink the past as her tears don't stop. "I can't change what happened to you for many reasons, but I can promise you that nothing will happen to you from now on while I'm alive, this I swear. Now, I think it's only fair to tell you about my past." Giving her a smile, caressing her cheek and wiping her tears with thumb.

"My old name was Ryan. Close to my 28th birthday, I died and met a god. Not just any god though, he is the creator and most powerful god, One Above All. He's now my father after granting me any requests, I chose to be his son by absorbing some of his divinity for one billion years in his dimension. Time is on a whole different level there, what felt like a small nap was one billion years. Now after gaining his divinity, I'm his son and second in power to only him in the multiverse. And yes, the multiverse is real. Oh, almost forgot..." *Snap* Natasha's body glows brightly for a moment and after the glow disappears I say, Congratulations on a full recovery, hehe." Taking a moment to collect her thoughts all she can say is, "Thank you, so much." Giving me another hug which I return, she clearly isn't focused on the multiverse part. "Hehe, do me a favor? Smile more, you have a beautiful smile." Giving me a nod, we just talk for a while until she's ready to go home and sleep. *SNAP* Opening a portal I say, "Goodnight Nat, don't be a stranger now." Smiling to me she gives me one last hug and a "Thank you." and walks into the portal back home.

The next day I notice Loki on trial for the New York incident. Since Bree is still training for a few days, I decide to make an entrance. Pulling out Yamato, I make the two slashes and a rift to Asgard opens up. Coming through I see Heimdall looking to me strangely and says, "I did not see you coming, first time for everything though is it not?" Giving a nod I say, "True, but then again even you cannot see a being of such a degree as I and my father. No hard feelings right? hehe. I'd like an audience with Odin if I may." Giving a nod and gesturing for me to follow he says, "Since I cannot see you at all, I shall accompany you to make sure you go to Odin instead of causing trouble." Chuckling to his cautiousness I reply, "Of course, lead the way."

Just as Odin gives his line of, "We are not gods. We are born, we live, we die, just as humans do." the doors open and I say, "Truer words could not have been said. Good evening Odin, Allfather, King of Asgard." Walking forward I stop and turn to Loki and say, "Hello little mortal, how's the god complex coming along, haha." Giving his mischievous smile he says, "And who might you be human? I saw you briefly in New York if I remember correctly." Laughing at him calling me a human I say in a serious tone, "Guess you didn't see me kill every Chitauri in less than seconds. Don't anger me Loki, even Odin won't be able to save you." Releasing my aura making the whole palace tremble, I give Loki a challenging grin and he turns a little pale feeling my aura. Odin speaks next saying, "What can I do for you, Mr.?" Retracting my aura I put on a smile again and say, "No reason in particular, I've heard feasts in Asgard are a sight to behold and I'd like to talk with Thor for a little bit." Loki is just staring at me while Odin says, "Thor is currently on his way to Vanaheim to deal with some conflicts, you can wait here if you'd like." Shaking my head I say, "That's quite alright, I'll assist him as a show of good faith to being an ally of Asgard." Giving a smile and giving two slashes of Yamato, I make a rift to Vanaheim and step in. After leaving, Odin looks intrigued and Loki looks like he found a new toy to steal, 'Good luck little mortal, hehe.' Heimdall bows and walks back to the rainbow bridge for his duties.

Arriving in Vanaheim, it's a complete warzone. As if on que, Thor shows up with his hammer flying out to some enemies. "At least you can fly with that, mine can make rifts anywhere I desire. Good to see you again sparky." Confused at who's talking until he sees me, Thor comes up to me and hugs me saying, "My friend, it is good to see you again. How are you here now and not on earth?" Chuckling to that I say, "My friend, there is much you do not know about me. Would you like me to end this faster like in New York?" Pondering for a moment he says, "Only the guilty people, no innocent lives must be lost." Giving him a nod, I do the same as New York. Rising in the air I unfurl my wings and have my halo and I say, "Mortals of Vanaheim, the guilty shall perish, this I swear on my very soul." Making golden portals to all of the guilty enemies, all kinds of weapons appear once again. With a wave of my hand, the weapons pierce them all and the fight is done in a matter of seconds. The Asgardians are confused about what has happened until they look up to see my with my white wings in full glory, but my halo glows and stands out like a beacon.

Putting away my wings and halo, I land next to a dumbstruck Thor with his warriors and he says, "Impressive, yet scary work my friend. I'll get you a drink when we return to Asgard." Giving a chuckle to that I say, "I was just there a minute ago, Loki is on trial with your father. I wanted to talk to you but you weren't there so I came to you. I know about..."

A/N: Cliff-kun strikes. So, some might think that the progress with Natasha was fast but to that I say, if you saw and angel slaughter a whole army and then say he can heal your damaged body, wouldn't you have a talk with him and be honest about everything? I would and this is an easier way to get Nat in with Rose and Lucifer although Rose and Nat will need to talk things out soon, anyways, it's hot as fuck my dudes. I've been sweating in my chair for a few hours writing, shower time then sleep goodnight.
