Mission Report: Hawkeye and The Black Widow
Once they came back home, Clint and Natasha hosted the wedding reception they never had in their backyard. There were refreshments off to the side with the wedding cake and champagne. The latter is reserved for the adults and only them.
And it was better like that since the kids were so hyped after half of a slice of cake. But luckily for the parents, they were more focused on tormenting Fury instead. It's the eyepatch that always draws them in.
Fury pretends to dislike it but he adores it.
This event was a bit more formal. Natasha wears a simple white dress while Clint's in a black suit jacket with a black tee and jeans. They had simple wedding bands. Natasha had a thin black one and a red one, the latter represents that moment when Clint used Merida's curl as a ring whereas Clint just had a black one.
Everyone else is dressed more or less the same for the reception. Even the kids although they don't act like it. They didn't care about their ties or skirts when they got the chance to play.
Natasha looks down when she feels someone tugging on the hem of her dress. She looks down and sees James giggling as he rocks back and forth on his feet.
"Hello, James," Natasha greets. "What can I do for you?"
"You look pretty," James tells her.
"Why thank you. You look charming as well."
James grins, pointing at his tie. "I did this tie all by myself."
Natasha gasps. "You will be a remarkable man. Clint can't even do that."
Hank walks over. "Janet made him learn because that's his school's uniform."
James shushes his father. "Don't tell her that."
Clint stares at that interaction. "Is he really trying to steal my wife from me in front of me?"
"He's in a tie that he did all by himself," Steve says. "He has more game than you."
"Watch that mouth of yours." Clint grins when he realizes that he spoke to Steve like a child. Steve does as well. "He's so going to date Angela."
"You have a daughter too."
Clint scoffs. "She'll eat him alive. The chances of James dating Angela are higher."
Janet gasps excitedly. "We can be in-laws!"
Steve's face goes white before he clears his throat. "Peggy, let's go home!"
Tony scoffs as James runs off to join the other kids. "Private school kids."
Natasha gives him a face. "You were a private school kid."
"Exactly."
Meanwhile, Director Fury was consumed by all the kids. He sits on a swing-set where each kid takes turns getting a ride because they're pretending to be on his pirate ship. Fury is the captain, the kids are the crew (with arguments of whom was his second-in-command), and the swing is the ship. He isn't sure how he got to this point in his life but he should've seen this coming. But he doesn't hate it as much as he thought which is strange.
"This isn't the weirdest thing I've seen," Thor says.
"Not at all," Jane says as she records this.
"So are you two officially married or do you still have to go sign the papers?" Bruce asks the newlyweds.
"We're heading to the courthouse tomorrow," Clint responds. "Merida's going to join us with Fury as our witness."
Fury stops the swing and some of the kids fall over. "Like hell I'm going."
Merida doesn't even blink. "Please?"
"Fine."
Their pirate game continues for the rest of the night.
-o-
After a long night of mostly the kids playing with Fury, it reached the point where the kids were (finally) starting to tire out. So once all the parents collected their kids and went their way home, Clint and Natasha cleaned up a little. They figure that they could fix the backyard tomorrow after their courthouse appointment. What better activity to do as a legally married couple than clean?
When they walk back in their house, Clint repositions a sleeping Merida in his arms as Natasha locks the door.
"I should've carried you through the threshold," Clint says.
"Please," Natasha responds, "I would've carried you."
Clint grins. "Can you?"
Natasha mimics his expression. "Tuck in Merida and we'll see."
Clint laughs before kissing Natasha. "Thanks for marrying me. I'm not sure why you did it, but thanks."
Natasha kisses him again. "Thanks for getting me pregnant."
