CH 20: Ali and Natasha P7

"Well, ready to go?" Natasha asked as she looked at Ali with a smile. But Ali looked at her with an annoyed face as he sighed through his teeth :"Tasha, do I look like I need to get ready for anything? You're the one who's been wasting time putting on makeup!"

Natasha rolled her eyes with a flare of her nose :"Oh please, this is just normal. All ladies put on makeup for parties. In fact, I got done with it pretty quickly thanks to our Superhuman Speed. So please stop whining and make my dress already."

Ali glared at her, but seeing that she wasn't showing any reactions, he just rolled his eyes and transformed her clothes into a beautiful black party dress.

It was black, high slit on the right leg, a little dark purple flower on the waist, and covered the chest area pretty nicely while revealing a modest amount of cleavage.

Natasha smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she checked out the dress :"Nice taste, this is quite pretty. But are you just going to stay like that?"

Ali raised an eyebrow as he tilted his head :"Whatcha mean?" Natasha pointed at his body :"I'm saying, why don't you make yourself a suit as well? We're going to a party, so you might as well dress nicely too."

He looked down on his body before raising an eyebrow at Natasha :"I don't have a problem with that, but is that really necessary?" Natasha smirked seductively with a teasing wink :"Well, I'd like my date to dress up nicely~."

Ali chuckled in amusement as he shrugged :"Alright then. When you put it like that, how can I refuse." His face turned into his cute version before his slimey, silky flesh morphed as it turned into a black jacket with a purple button up shirt under it :"Let's go?"

Natasha lifted her hand up for him to take :"With pleasure." Ali smiled as a part of him went down her left arm and transformed into fingers before they interlocked with Natasha :"The pleasure's all mine, my dear host."

Natasha walked out of the room with a smile and walked towards the elevator when Ali's curious voice came :"By the way, do you really need to put on makeup? I'm not complaining, I'm genuinely curious."

Natasha hummed before she shrugged :"Well, you already know that every woman wants to be beautiful, no? That's why ladies rarely don't put on makeup for parties like these. I'm no exception, I want to look as beautiful as possible."

Ali tilted his head in confusion as he raised an eyebrow :"But aren't you already very beautiful? From what I've learned about the standards of humans, you're extremely beautiful. And you get more and more beautiful because of me."

Natasha chuckled as she patted his head with a satisfied smile :"Well don't you have a silver tongue? Thanks for the compliment, dear, but when it comes to beauty, women are as greedy as possible."

With a look of confusion, Ali rolled his eyes and shrugged :"Whatever, weirdo... I feel like women are the hardest beings to understand, even for a being like me..."

One time, we had gone to a wedding, and my sister had fixed her hair in a bun. I don't like bun style hair, I like it when hair can be seen because I think that makes someone more pretty.

I told her :"Why did you do your hair like that? It doesn't suit you." And she acted like I killed her son in front of her... I kept my mouth shut about how I hated her dress...>

Natasha just chuckled and walked into the elevator before pressing the button on the floor where the party was. As usual, Tony had planned a party for excuses that Ali didn't bother to listen to.

For all Ali knew, he probably threw the party because he managed to tie his shoe laces or something. Or just went through a day without Pepper yelling and scolding him.

One party a week in the Avengers Tower was guaranteed if Tony wasn't working on something at this point. The moment the door of the elevator opened and they walked into the room, quite a few eyes were on them.

Men, women, neither could take their eyes from the beauty of Natasha. There were also quite a few people who looked at Ali in curiosity. But they just ignored them and looked around for any familiar faces.

"Oh, Wanda's there." Ali said as he looked towards a certain direction. "Where?" Natasha asked as she looked before she spotted her when Ali pointed at her :"There."

"Let's go say hi." Natasha smiled before she walked towards her. She was sitting on a bar stool in front of the bar with a glass in her hand. She took a sip before she noticed Natasha sitting beside her :"Well hello there."

Wanda turned to them with a smile when she saw their matching outfits :"Well don't you two look great. That dress looks fantastic on you, Natasha.

Can say the same thing about you, my dear best friend! Aww, you look freaking adorable! Did Natasha choose your outfits? They're not bad at all, quite pretty."

Natasha smiled and winked at Ali :"Actually, Ali was the one who chose them based on his own opinion. Ali's fashion sense isn't bad at all, he's actually pretty good."

He smiled smugly as Wanda smiled at him with interest :"Oh? Didn't expect that since he doesn't like going shopping with us. But I guess I need to get his opinion too from time to time."

Ali shook his head smugly with a shrug :"Sure, why not? What's a best friend for otherwise?" Wanda fake gasped as she put her hand over her chest with a mock pained and offended look :"Ouch, did you really just friend zone me?"

Natasha chuckled as Ali laughed :"Sorry, Hun, but I guess I'm half taken already. Wouldn't want to make Tasha here jealous either. She might get pouty otherwise."

"Heeey!" Natasha gently elbowed him with a mock glare before he went to Wanda's side who spoke in a baby voice :"Aww, would poor little Nat get jealous if Ali gave me too much attention?"

Ali put his hands on his cheeks as he tilted his head and spoke with a baby voice :"Aww, is that true, Tasha? Would you get jealous of that?" Natasha playfully rolled her eyes with a smile :"Piss off, you two."

The two best friends chuckled mischievously as they high fived as the giggling Wanda shrugged :"Fine, I won't mess with your date. I have my own anyway. I'm waiting for him at the moment."

"Vision?" Natasha asked as Ali ordered two drinks for him and his host. Wanda nodded and Natasha hummed as she gently grabbed her drink from Ali's hand :"Well, there has been some chemistry between you two lately."

The three of them chatter for a little while, sometimes laughing, sometimes joking, sometimes teasing and sometimes making fun of each other or some other people.

After a little while, Natasha rose to her feet :"Well, it was fun, Wands. But I'm gonna go and enjoy a little dance with my date here. Care for a dance, Ali?"

As she raised her hand to grab his, he gently placed his hand on hers with a small smile :"How can I ever refuse such a fun invitation?"

As the two of them went to the dance floor and started gently dancing to the rhythm of the song, Wanda chuckled as she took a sip from her drink while looking at them :'Who would've known that I would see someone dance with an alien slime one day?'

-

The party had slowly died down, but it felt like a jiffy for Ali and Natasha who had fun. All the guests had left, and only the several superheroes had remained.

While they were all sitting with each other and chatting, the slightly drunk and tipsy Tony got up and tapped his glass to make some noise :"Alright everyone! Attention to me!"

Everybody whined at him as Sam Wilson spoke with a smirk :"C'mon, Stark, again? What do you have planned this time?" And Clint who was sitting next to him groaned :"Please don't tell me it's truth or dare again."

And Ali laughed :"Yeah, another embarrassing secret of the poor guys might get exposed again!" A few people groaned before Tony laughed :"No, no, my dear colleagues. Tonight, I have a special plan! And that is, a special auction!"

"An auction???" Everybody present asked in confusion before Tony laughed smugly :"Yup! We all know how an auction goes. An item comes up, and everybody puts a price.

The one who offers the highest price wins the item. As for what the items are, showing them to you would be more fun than explaining. *Whistling* Bring in the first item!"

As he called out, a small, ball-like robot, like R2-D2 from Star Wars, came inside while pushing a glass table. There was something on the table, but it was covered by a piece of fabric.

"Now, aliens, ladies and gentlemen! First item up for auction is..." Tony grabbed the piece of fabric and pulled it away, revealing the item :"Captain America's Vibranium Shield!"

Everybody was shocked at what was going on. But they all immediately got the gist of what Tony's plan was for tonight. "2 dollars!" A voice immediately rang out, and Steve glared at the smiling Sam.

Ali also immediately laughed before raising his hand as well :"5 dollars from me!" Tony dramatically pointed at Ali :"5 dollars from Mr Majesty! Is there a higher price!"

"10 dollars!" Steve called out with an annoyed face while glaring at everybody else. While someone else put up a price too, Natasha smiled amusedly at the laughing Ali :"Do you even have any money?"

"Well, you do." Ali smirked at Natasha who raised an amused eyebrow :"Yeah, I do. It's my money."

"Natasha, it's not your money." Ali motioned his hands like the meme and smirked :" It's OUR money." Causing Natasha to roll her eyes in amusement.

In the end, Captain America managed to get his shield with 20 dollars. He hugged his shield tightly, in fear of someone snatching it away. And by someone, Sam and Bucky who were smirking at him.

But Sam's smile dropped at Tony's next cheerful words :"The second item for our auction is, Falcon's wings!" As he pulled off the fabric from the newly arrived table, Sam spread his arms in disbelief :"Bitch what?!"

"7 dollars!" Steve immediately raised his hand with a vengeful smile as everyone broke into laughter and Sam raised his hand as well :"You've got to be shitting me... 10 dollars!"

"15 dollars!" Ali raised his hand and shouted before Sam glared at him :"Piss off, alien blub!" And Ali's laughed mockingly and sadistically :"Make me, chicken boy!"

"Mortals and their games." Thor shook his head with an amused expression as the game went on. However, his expression fell at Tony's excited words :"Next item on the list, our famous god's hammer, Mjölnir!"

They all laughed hysterically as Thor desperately bid and glared murderously at whoever dared to bet.

As he won his hammer while glaring at Steve who desperately fought him, he hugged it tightly before Tony smirked smugly :"Next one is very special. Ready your pockets for..."

He swung his hand in the air for dramatic effects before pointing at a certain individual :"Majesty! Or as we know, Ali!" Ali couldn't hold in his laughter as Natasha glared at Tony :"What the hell, man! I'm not an item!"

Tony chuckled as he snapped his fingers at him :"Yeah, but you always refer to yourself as a weapon, so it's fair. Now, get the bids going before our dear Black Widow loses it and starts going on a rampage!"

Ali laughed hysterically as he looked around the room :"You bitches better put up some good prices, or I'mma f you up! I ain't cheap like those boring items from before!"
