"Shall we go eat dinner,"

Natasha looked down at her watch "Let's," Natasha led the way out as she escorted the taller widow through the compound. When they walked into the kitchen they were met with several sets of eyes. Steve, Wanda, Vision, Sam, Pepper, and of course Tony. Tony stood "Look if it isn't the prodigal daughter. Come sit." Natasha was ready to lunge at him and slit his throat but she held back. They could see the anger across Natashas face but Lena was far harder to read. Lena just opted to take well-calculated slow, steady steps like that of a lioness beating heart when it's on the prowl. Lena sat directly in front of Tony "Ask what you wish." Tony was about to speak when Lena bit back her Russian accent still heavy on her lips "I wasn't finished. Ask what you wish, in return, I get the same."

Tony clapped his hands together "Alright then!"

Natasha shot Tony a look "Down Mama." he cooed "She can handle herself."

Lena leaned over whispering "Если ты мне понадобишься. Ты узнаешь" If I need you. You'll know.

"Okay! First question: What exactly was your job?"

"Anything Drekoc needed.
"Anything?"

"Nuh huh I haven't asked my question what do you do?"

"Save the world. Me: What's your body count?"

"Tony-" Pepper warned

"Body count?"

"How many people have you killed?"

"Too many to count. I guess the same is to be said for you. Between Sokovia and New York, I'm sure you have numbers what into the thousands?" she stared him down. hard.

"Alright, I'm bored,"

"Let's eat!" Wanda said a few seconds later to break the tension

"Lets!" Pepper jumped in

Steve asked, "What did you make Wanda?"

"Zucchini spaghetti,"

"Looks good," Sam complimented

"Thank you,"

Natasha glanced at Lena as she looked down at her plate "Ешьте, что можете."Eat what you can.

"New rule! Only English at the table." Tony proclaimed

Steve jumped in "Tony shut up."

Natasha said, "Fuck off Tony."

"Steve she said a bad language word."

"I agree with her."

Lena stood up "Excuse me,"

Natasha stood up looking at Tony "What the hell is wrong with you today?"

As she left after Lena Tony looked around "What did I do?"

Wanda put her fork done it clanking against the plate "You have no idea whats she's been through. Her whole life she has been in rigid rules and schedules. Her head is spinning behind all this freedom. I wouldn't cross her."

"Why?'

"She'll kill you before you even realize she's there."


Natasha walked down the compound before finding Lena sitting in her "room"

"Hey you," Natasha gently said 

"Can you let Wanda know the food was good it wasn't that it was just-"

"You got overwhelmed. Thats okay."
