Chapter One

    "Have any of you found us a little?" Steve broke the silence abruptly in the living room whilst looking at the rest of the group. With defeated sighs, one by one, the group shakes their heads dejectedly. "We're never gonna find our little one at this rate. I just wanna be a mom to someone and love and spoil someone unconditionally. Can you imagine getting to spend the holidays with a little this year?" Wanda groaned as the others nodded along with her sadly. "That's in two days Wands. Maybe we're going about this the wrong way. Let's start with a list or a description of our ideal little as a group rather than our own ideal little. Maybe we can find one in time for the next holiday." Bruce explained level-headedly before anyone of them could get too in their heads. "Fine but only because it feels like we've been on every littles adoption site and seen every profile within the country." Tony replies stubbornly with an unhappy scowl. Bruce sighs but grabs a pen and some scrap paper regardless. "Okay, so what we'll do is we'll all make a list of ideal features and/or traits of what our perfect little might look like in our minds. After a few minutes I'll collect all the lists and have JARVIS compile one unanimous list using our responses and what features and/or traits come up the most in all of our lists. Does that sound good to everyone?" Bruce runs through the plan with everyone as they nod along and all collect their own pens and paper. Once everyone was situated, they all began working on their lists in hopes of finally making some kind of dent in their search for a little. Fifteen minutes later finds themselves all handing their lists over to compile the one list with their "perfect" little. "JARVIS, while you're at it, filter out all the profiles we've already seen and/or don't quite fit with what we have on our lists." Tony jumps in. "Will do sir, it seems the top three responses between all of you consist of the following; 1: little age range between newborn - two years old, 2: female, and 3: short/light enough to be carried by everyone in the soulmate group in case you were wondering. Just give me a moment to continue filtering."
    While the group is waiting for JARVIS to finish his job, the elevator opens to reveal one of their teammates, Niall, with about four bags of takeout. "Hey guys, I don't known if you were planning to cook or order something for dinner but I was passing the takeout place we all like and JARVIS said no one's eaten yet so I figured this would be a good idea." Niall's Irish brogue rang through the room as she bounced over with her dimples prominent and more takeout than any normal person could eat. As she plops the bags down on the table the group is sitting around. "Sir, I've finished sorting if you are interested. I would also like to inform you that although I could not locate a profile, I also thought to include Niall Harrison Perseus Spencer in your list due to the fact that based on all of your responses as well as the fact that knowing her on a personal level, she would be the most compatible of the selected profiles." JARVIS buts in before anyone could get a word out. One by one, the group's eyes widen as Niall's grin goes from full dimples to creased forehead frowny confusion. "Ehm, what?" Niall asks while maintaining her expression of confusion and looking between everyone. "This isn't really how we imagined this conversation going but I guess it's happening." Maria explains awkwardly. "Our soulmate group was completed over ten years ago in 2012. It's now eleven years later and we still have not found our little. Every little we have had was either an enemy infiltrator or just looking for the fame and money that comes with us. Since then, we have been using websites and algorithms and anything else we can get our hands on to identify and hopefully find our "perfect" little. According to JARVIS and his calculations, he has apparently found that you would be our "perfect" little considering the fact that we have to be especially diligent and suspicious about who we let into our lives as well as meeting all our preferences in traits and qualities we have been looking for in our little." Maria continues to explain while turning the laptop around to show Niall JARVIS' findings. They all sit in silence for a few seconds, that in actuality felt like an eternity, waiting for Niall to say something to break the newly formed tension. Niall takes a moment to think before squinting at the laptop displayed in front of her. "OK-" She starts before quickly being cutoff by Clint. "OK, you'll be our little?" Clint interjects excitedly while leaping out of his seat with a grin. The others start to beam excitedly at the thought of having a little to spoil this Christmas with. At the sight of their excitement, Niall quickly shuts them down before they can get their hopes up. "No, no, that's not what I meant. I was going to say ok, it looks like you have some other options here aside from me." Niall explains whilst trying to ignore their dropping expressions. The room is enveloped in silence once again until Bucky breaks it minutes later. "But... you're a 96.8% match and we already trust you and know you so those are things we don't even have to think about with you as our little" "And this one, Isabelle, is a 79.1% match. She may not be exactly who you're looking for but I'm sure you guys would be happy with her. 80% isn't bad at all."Niall tries to offer. "Yeah, but you're a 97% match which is pretty much exactly what we're looking for in a little and Isabelle isn't you. Please Niall, give us a chance. I promise you'll be the most spoiled little on this planet." Yelena jumps in now in an attempt to convince Niall of their idea. Niall's eyebrows raise at the please but there is no other indication that she was listening nor that she would be responding any time soon.
    After about ten minutes of Niall staring off into space, lost in her thoughts, and the rest staring and/or biting their lips in anticipation, Niall sighs and licks her lips. "I'm sorry. I really don't think this is a good idea, maybe you should find someone else. I'm sorry." Niall apologizes while slowly backing towards the elevator. Before any of the others can get a word in, she disappears into the elevator. Unfortunately, by the time they came back to their senses and were able to regather their thoughts, Niall was long gone. "So what do we do now?" Carol starts. After a few minutes, Thor tries jumping in. "Well, perhaps we can give this Isabelle person a call? It seems as if Lady Niall would prefer we not engage in this type of relationship with her." He explains noncommittally and slightly dejected. "No, we've waited this long for a little, we can wait a little bit longer. I don't know about the rest of you but it's either Niall or I'm not interested." Yelena jumps in this time as the others nod along at her statement. "I was just suggesting an alternative suggestion. I too would much prefer Lady Niall over another little one but how will we get her to agree to it?" Thor explains still slightly dejected at their predicament. "Here's what we're going to do. First, we'll wait for her to come back and see what she says. If she's still being stubborn then we'll introduce her into it slowly and hope she doesn't realize it's happening and if she does then we'll just have to go against her judgement and give her a stronger push to accept and adjust to her new status as our little." Steve explains the plan as usual. "But won't she hate us if we're forcing her into this when she doesn't want to do it?" Kate chews her lip nervously. "She may be unhappy to start but once she realizes that this is for her benefit as well as ours, it will be much better for everyone involved." Natasha explains this time. Kate continues chewing her lip as she weighs out what could happen if they go through with this plan. On one hand, they could get their little girl finally after so many years of waiting and live happily ever after. On the other hand, they could be underestimating Niall's abilities in escaping and lose her forever never to see her again. Eventually, the thought of a happily ever after with their little girl won and she found her self nodding with a sigh and sealing her commitment to this plan. With every one of them in agreement, they all retire to their rooms eager to finally have their little to love and spoil for the rest of forever. Niall, however, couldn't help but lay awake thinking over the whole conversation she had with them as she lay on a friend's living room couch that night.

    A/N: Just an idea I've had floating around for awhile now and just seeing if there's an actual audience for this story, let me know what you think and if this picks up then I'll keep writing. If this does pick up traction, chapters may or may not be longer depending on my schedule that week. I will also try to develop an update schedule, however cannot make any guarantees as there are days where I get so busy I have no time to write.
