13: Maybe I Should Try Again

"Alright, so show me what you said was super important." Nat says as she walks into the training room. I was bouncing on the balls of my feet, waiting for her in a bundle of nerves. When she comes in I spin around and look to see what I could use to show her what I had found out earlier this morning. 

I grab a five pound weight before turning around to face her, she was standing with her hands crossed over her chest and a blank expression covering her face. I take a deep breath before focusing on the weight with all my concentration, imagining it turned from the black color to a bright green. 

The dumbell wavered a bit before a glowing green color enveloped it. Nat's eyes went wide as her blank mask dropped into one of surprise. I sent her a quick smirk before thinking of the dumbbell blending in with the wall and it quickly followed my directions and made it seem like I was holding up air. 

"I can do it with a person too, I just need to be in contact with them and focusing on changing both my appearance and theirs while moving." I explain excitedly as I drop the weight back on the rack and it turns back to its normal black color as soon as I take my hand away. "Do you think we should tell Tony? Maybe then he will let me in on a mission." I ask her nervously. 

Nat has a slightly mischievous smile on her face when she answers, "Oh we're telling Tony. But I have an idea." Her mouth twists into a smirk as she tells me her plans, causing me to match her smirk with one of my own. I agree immediately and we head over to the living room where FRIDAY had said Tony was. 

Before we got too close to the door, I grabbed Nat's arm and focused on blending us in with the walls and lighting. "Look I get that she doesn't have much training but she could hide from cameras and get inside without being detected." Tony was groaning out as we slipped into the room and along the walls towards the dining room where Tony, Steve, Bucky, and Bruce were leaning over some files that were spread along the table. 

"It's too dangerous! Nat has experience and she has done this kind of stuff before on missions." Steve argues back causing Stark to bang his forehead on the table before looking up, "Fine. FRIDAY, can you tell Natasha to come to the living room." Tony asks. 

"Miss Romanoff is already in the living room sir." The automated voice replies, totally ruining our fun. The four men look up and towards the door at the AI's response but Nat and I had already made our way over to stand right next to the table they were standing around by the time the AI had busted us. 

"Damn it FRIDAY." Nat says, startling the men since I was still holding her arm and hiding us from view. Once she said that though, I release both my hold on her and my focus on blending us into the walls. 

"Dude. That is so trippy." Barton calls from the couch, I hadn't even seen him when we got here since he was lying down. "How- when- What?" Tony stumbles as he watches the two of us materialize in front of him. 

Nat has a smirk still plastered on her face while she shrugs, "Ali can extend her blending thing to something she's touching." She explains as if it was a normal thing. 

"So. How long have you two been standing there?" Steve asks in his stern dad voice, his arms crossed over his chest and his brow furrowed to match his tone. 

"Long enough to know that Nat and I have a mission." I say, pointedly adding myself to the team, "I can blend both of us into the surroundings and Nat will be with me in case things get dicey. And Barton will be waiting in the plane just in case we need backup." I tell Steve, who stands there and was staring me down for a few seconds. He finally relents and looks away with a groan, "Fine. But this is a stealth mission. Remember that." He tells me before sharing a look with Bucky as Tony starts to explain the mission.
