Jade took one look at Natasha Romanov and barely hid her smirk. After the two day vacation in Spain (which they had desperately needed) Jade and Lucifer had returned to find the super spy acting as Pepper's assistant.

Natasha nearly broke out into a sweat when Jade asked her if she would be interesting in joining her group for some basic yoga exercises.

Most of her small family did yoga in the mornings, mostly to work out the kinks (or in the case of Sam limber up after a night with his enthusiastic boyfriend) and the rest watched.

Tony of course jumped at the chance to watch Pepper do the basic stretches, and looked somewhat surprised that Natasha was able to keep up with Jade.

"Impressive. Have you done ballet before?" asked Jade. She knew Natasha's history, but she might as well pretend she didn't. It wouldn't do to put someone who specialized in poisons on guard against her tricks.

"When I was younger I performed some Russian ballet," said Natasha smoothly.

"Finally, someone who could keep up with me! Did you know these idiots had no idea what a ballet studio looked like until they met me?" said Jade with genuine pleasure.

Natasha cast an eye on an amused Dean, Gabriel and Lucifer.

"I can believe it. They don't look the type to observe their surroundings unless it was kink-related," said Natasha.

Jade grinned openly, because she had hit that nail on the head.

"Care to join me in the more advanced exercises?"

Natasha showed genuine amusement at the idea. It had been a long time since she had a chance to do any dancing other than the ballroom ones.

Gabriel made sure to videotape Natasha and Jade dancing to some Russian song he didn't bother to remember the name of. He was sure Natasha's partner Clint would enjoy the show. The two of them danced in perfect sync, or to be more accurate Natasha simply followed Jade's lead through the dance.

"Wow. I thought she was just a model?" said Tony.

"Actually you should be glad Jade magic-locked all your files. Considering how dead set people are to get that suit of yours..." said Gabriel. Tony blinked before he ran that through his head.

"Ah. So she's..."

"Yup. Jade magic-locked all your files so only you can access any of them without getting shocked. Anything that isn't verified by you gets wasted," said Gabriel cheerfully, making sure the camera hid his mouth from the super spy. Who knew if she could read lips?

"And you haven't gotten rid of her why?"

"One, if we have to deal with a spy evaluating you, then at least it's someone who doubles as eye candy. Two, Jade has been wanting to meet Natasha for a while now since they both enjoy ballet. Three, it means we get to screw with Fury without having to leave your house. Take your pick," said Gabriel.

Tony ran that through his head and grinned. This out to be fun.

Natasha knew something was wrong when she spotted Jade watching her.

"You do realize we knew who you were from the start, right?"

The spy winced. Being caught while trying to steal information was a sure-fire way to get killed.

"However, the fact that my group knew who you were also means that you're relatively safe from pranks. Gabriel is particularly worried you might slip some form of poison in his boyfriend's food that will give him diarrhea if they annoyed you."

"I don't carry poisons when I'm infiltrating someone's house," said Natasha.

"You do realize that if you cozy up to Gabriel or Dean, that they'll give you some ideas of how to prank your partner, the one who nearly shit himself coming that close to an enraged swan, right?" she asked amused.

Natasha couldn't help her snort of amusement. Clint would deny it to his deathbed, but she had noticed he changed his pants before returning to base.

"I'm surprised you haven't told Stark yet."

"Oh, we already did. Tony's more interested in watching you try to hack his files after I locked them with the same thing I used on his suits."

"Are you the reason he hasn't been hitting on me?"

It wasn't like she cared, but it was a nice relief.

"Actually we've been subtly trying to get his head out of his ass towards his assistant. He either needs to date her and see if it would work out, or give her a damn raise for all the crap he's given her over the years."

Before Jade left the room, she did add one last parting shot.

"You're still welcome to join us in our yoga exercises and my advanced ballet stretches in the morning."

Tony was grinning.

"Whatcha up to?" asked Gabriel.

"Check it out."

Tony hit a button, starting the sequence. Gabriel's grin widened when he realized what it was.

"You actually finished it? Jade's going to be thrilled."

"This alone will get my stocks back up," said Tony grinning.

Tony had built a 3-D projector that was specifically designed so it could be used with standard audio-visual plugs DVD players had. It would project the movie without a screen, and Tony had added a little touch-screen trick so when people used it to listen to music they could interact with it.

It was mostly a little ball and light show, but it was still above and beyond anything on the market.

"Trust me, after seeing one of her movies I had to build something like this to make it even better. And this is just the finished product...the prototype just needs to be tweaked before I can start making my own movie theaters," said Tony.

This alone would get his board of directors off his ass.

"Well get to tweaking! Odds are Jade will give you a cut of the Secret Angel series once they go back into production!"

Once again, the Secret Angel series was a complete hit. The second people realized what it was about, and the fact it painted a picture of heaven people had no difficulty relating to, quite a few flocked to it. It didn't condemn god, or the angels themselves... but it did make them sound more human.

"You know I wonder how Fury would react if he knew you're a major movie star?" asked Tony enjoying the fact Jade was so popular she couldn't even walk into a coffee shop without being swarmed.

Quite a few people recognized her from the public trial of Tony when she bit the heads off the senators.

Though the paparazzi did have a field day when, after the kids got a little too enthusiastic with the paint, Gabriel turned her hair every color of the rainbow. Since it was silver, the color stuck for a full month.

"Between the new movie projectors and the series, I've more than made up for what I lost when I closed down the weapons division," said Tony grinning.

The irony was a known atheist like Tony loved the series, despite it's obviously religious themes.

Natasha walked up, looking extremely amused.

"What?" asked Jade.

"Clint wants your autograph. Partially as a way to make up for the swan incident, but also because he's a major fan of the guy who played Gabriel," said Natasha.

"Oh man. He does know Gabriel played himself, right?"

"He's vaguely aware, but until he sees the wings he' still a skeptic," said Natasha.

"Wonder how he would react if he knew Jade could outshoot him with a bow?" asked Gabriel snickering.

Crowley had insisted Jade learn how to use a weapon after the collar was initially put on, so she went old school. A bow and arrow.

It quickly became apparent that Jade was supernaturally good at aiming a ranged weapon. It didn't matter if it was a bow, a gun, or even a sniper rifle...if it required precision aim at a long range, she could hit a target at a hundred meters or more. It was beyond freaky...especially considering she used to wear contacts before she ascended and healed her eyes.

Then she went a step further and started shooting while blindfolded using nothing but hearing. Nine times out of ten, she was able to hit the target. The one being when someone pisses her off enough to aim at a voice rather than the target...as Gabriel had been shocked to find out.

He shouldn't have made that smart ass comment about her weight.

Clint was good, but they had doubts that he could beat Jade.

"Odds are he'll take that challenge just to remain the best archer in the world. He does a lot of trick shots you know," said Natasha.

"He's welcome to try. If he succeeds I'll give him the next movie before it's released," said Jade with a smug grin.

Natasha blinked.

"How can you release the next movie when it's scheduled to come out in a year and a half?"

"Because the movies are already made...we just had to transfer them to a media format that Tony could use on his new projectors."

Natasha raised an eyebrow.

"What would it take for you to loan him the others?"

"For the second one he has to beat me at an archery contest. The others he'd have to impress me with his creativity concerning pranks. Particularly if it's against Fury or Coulson," said Jade immediately. Gabriel, when he heard the terms, started cracking up.

So did Tony.

"Let me get back to you on that," said Natasha. Two hours later she came back with a date and place for them to have their little game.

It was partly to see if she was any good as a fighter, not just as an actor.

"I'm bored," said Loki.

Now under normal circumstances the group could ignore this. After all, boredom could be fixed easily. However this was a version of Loki they were talking about. The god of Mischief and causing chaos for the hell of it.

And considering they were used to diverting Gabriel's boredom lest he become a walking force of mayhem and pranks, this was bad.

"Right. I think it's past time to introduce you to something called Broadway," said Jade.

"What's broadway?" asked Loki curious.

Jade smiled mysteriously.

One musical and Loki was hooked. And then Jade went a step further and got him into cooking classes, among other things.

"Okay, how come you were able to divert his attention and not Gabe's?" asked Sam baffled. He thought it would be harder for them to keep Loki occupied.

"Gabriel is used to humanity and the diversions out there. Odds are he went through them all at least once as soon as they came out. However this Loki is so used to being an intellectual among brawlers that he's never had much to challenge him. All we had to do was give him something to do and let him loose among the various diversions of humanity, and he'll take care of the boredom himself," said Jade.

"Pretty much," said Gabriel.

"That being said, we are so getting Tony to work on gaming devices next, because otherwise you'll drive us all crazy," said Jade.

"Tetris in 3-D...talk about addicting," snorted Sam.

Tony perked up. There was an idea he hadn't considered...bringing the video game world to an entirely new level. With how much people spent on games, it was likely he could make up for his entire weapons division just with that alone.

Within a week he was already trying new ways to use standard game consoles and bring them to life.

And that was before he enlisted the aid of the kids...including Dean and Gabriel, who were practically kids in adult bodies.

Jade took the brothers out for a two-day vacation to a popular theme park while Loki kept Tony entertained with new ideas.

Pepper woke up most of the house when, a few days after the rest of the group came back, she walked in to find three kids, two small house cats and one massive silver tiger laying in the sun snoring.

One look at the large cat and she freaked out.

"What in His name is that racket?" yelled Lucifer. Tony was looking for the source as well.

"There's a tiger in the house!" shrieked Pepper.

"Oh, that. Can I go back to sleep now?" asked Tony.

Pepper hadn't been in the house when Jade demonstrated her animagus form, or when the others turned her into one big furry pillow. Jade had fallen asleep as a tiger, and the kids hadn't hesitated to curl up next to her.

Tony had been very amused when Dean and Castiel turned into a pair of cats that snuggled up to each other on top of Jade's back. It was decidedly cute.

So when she arrived the next morning to see Jade sleeping in her tiger form, it was only natural she would freak out.

Lucifer calmly walked up to the tiger, and Pepper honestly feared it would attack him. He started poking at it's side, and it yawned.

"Jade, love, it's time to wake up. You already gave Pepper a near heart attack," he said flatly.

Don't wanna, she told him.

"Do you want me to make breakfast?"he asked.

Not my problem if the kitchen is burnt down. At least you're reasonably competent, she said.

The 'tiger' yawned widely, and at the smell of coffee the two cats turned into a sleepy Dean and Cas.

The kids barely stirred as Jade rolled over, still snoring.

Tony still found it hilarious that his assistant nearly had a heart attack from an overgrown kitten like Jade was in her tiger form.
