Maria and Natasha walked down to the kitchen, Laura and Clint were still preparing the dinner. They went to the living room and sat on the couch. "Ohh I forgot to tell you Tony asked us to a party. I told him that we would come. I hope it is okay with you!" Natasha said.
Maria looked like she realized something and took her phone from her pocket. "Yeah, it is okay. I just remembered that Tony sent me a message too, wait I'll check it!" Maria said and searched for the message on her phone.

T: Hi! I might have set you up with my friend. He's nice, don't worry about it! He is also coming to the party, I told Romanoff to tell you about it, so you probably know already!

"Ohh... noo nooo" Maria mumbled and covered her mouth with her hand. Natasha got intrigued. "What? tell me!!" She insisted. Maria tilted her phone a little so Natasha could read the message.
"Ohh... fuck Tony!" Natasha said after she had read the message. "Why would he just set you up with someone like that??" Nat wondered out loud. Maria shook her head. Laura walked into the living room. "What's going on?" She asked when she noticed the confused expression on Natasha's face.

"Well...Tony just set Maria up with someone and we don't even know who or why" Natasha explained, sounding frustrated. Laura's facial expression was priceless, she just looked at them both with wide eyes and tried to stop herself from laughing. "It really isn't easy for you two..." Laura said and didn't show if she meant it sarcastically or not. They both just looked at her in confusion. Laura pointed her head towards the kitchen as the way of showing that the dinner was finally ready.

"Soo have you decided how to tell Stark that you're kind of a thing?" Clint started the conversation by surprise. Natasha and Maria shared a confused look with each other. "Umm... we have decided not to!" Natasha announced. Now Laura and Clint were the confused ones in the conversation. "What, why wouldn't you tell him?" Clint asked, sounding extremely muddled. "It's not just him... we decided not to tell anyone" Maria replied and glanced at Natasha. "And that means that you two are not going to tell anyone either!" Natasha ordered, sounding more serious than before.

"Can I ask why?" Laura tried to continue the conversation after a while. Natasha took a deep breath and took Maria's hand to hers. "We aren't sure if it affects the working situation but it is somehow prohibited." Natasha told, speaking calmly. "Well it can be but you guys can first talk to Fury and then he can make an exception for you." Clint tried to explain. "No... that's the thing we don't want an exception!" Maria said a little too loudly than she meant to. Everyone went completely silent. Clint looked at Natasha trying to read the expression on her face. Maria exited the table and went to the other room, Natasha following her.

"What the hell happened there?" Natasha questioned with a slight blame in her tone. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have. And the kids and everything but I just..." Maria explained quickly 'cause she realized how she had really acted in front of everyone. "What... You can tell me, we don't have to tell them" Natasha said, sounding encouraging. "It's just that if someone finds out about us...They're not gonna do anything to you but fire me." Maria explained trying to hide her jealousy.

 "What... Why do you think that?" Natasha asked even though she knew what Maria meant. "You're an Avenger. They can't fire you but they would me 'cause in that case I would be a distraction." Maria continued and crossed her arms on her stomach. Natasha sighed. "Okay...I get that. Look, we don't have to tell anyone and if somehow, someone found out, I would defend you." Natasha said and put her hand to the back of Maria's neck.

 Maria still looked a little worried. Natasha stroked her fingers on Maria's neck and smiled her flirty smile. "You know, I can't resist that smile" Maria said under her breath and leaned in to kiss Natasha.

"I apologize, I didn't mean to yell like that" Maria said when they both walked back to the table. Clint and Laura nodded as an acceptance of the apology.

"So when are you guys leaving tonight or tomorrow morning?" Clint asked while he was gathering the dirty dishes from the table. "Umm.. tonight, we think. We're headed to New York. Stark's got a party" Maria confirmed. Natasha nodded. "Ohh... yeah, we should go pack." She said and offered her hand to Maria who took it and walked with her to the attic.

They gathered all their stuff and put more comfortable clothes on for the long ride. Maria had a black hoodie and jeans on. She tied her hair to a low ponytail and was ready for the road trip.

Natasha put on a white t-shirt and on top of that a navy blue sweater. She had tight black jeans that looked like they were made for her. Natasha tied her hair up into a bun and was also ready to go.  


A/N I do realize that Maria Hill is the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. so she wouldn't get fired... just play along... :)
