Mercedes Stark was the only daughter of Tony Stark. She was very unplanned, and he had her when he was rather young, but he didn't really have to raise her. He had many nannies and such to care for her, but that didn't make the girl care for her fat...
After telling Natasha about them being together, Clint and Mercedes' relationship seemed to thrive even more. Mercedes would go out for coffee at least twice a week with Clint, and when he wasn't going on missions, the two would have dinner together almost every night; most nights Mercedes cooked their dinner. Clint liked Mercedes' cooking more than anything in the world.
Almost four months had passed since Mercedes and Clint told Natasha about their relationship. Mercedes still managed to keep everything a secret from her father and Pepper. If Tony Stark or Pepper Potts found out, there'd be a lot more than a little scolding that Mercedes would recieve. She had kept so many secrets, and this one would just blow the roof off things when added if they found out.
Clint and Mercedes had been together almost six months, but Clint was going to be on a mission on their six month anniversary, so he decided to celebrate it a week early. He had gone to Natasha to get ideas and such from her. She helped him by getting the perfect reservations, and going with him to get a nice gift for his girlfriend as well.
"Tonight, you and I are going out to dinner." Clint commented, as he walked into Mercedes' office.
"Do I get at least a dress code?" She asked, and he shrugged.
"Sure," She looked up at him,"dress a bit fancy for me, Mercy." He grinned, causing her to roll her eyes playfully.
Before she could ask anymore questions, Clint practically ran out of the room to avoid anymore questions. Mercedes was excited to say the least, but she was also nervous. She didn't know where Clint was taking her, but if she knew him like she thought she did, she knew he'd pick a nice place for them to eat. She was also excited about what he could've had planned for after the dinner as well, since she knew Clint never wanted the night to end right after dinner.
"Nat, do you wanna come with me to my place and help me pick an outfit?" Mercedes asked her best friend, as she closed up her office for the night.
"Definitely." Natasha replied, giving her best friend a grin.
The moment Mercedes and Natasha were at Mercedes' place, Natasha sent the girl for a shower, as she fed Moxley and gave him new water. Once Mercedes had showered, Natasha blow-dried the girl's hair, then fixed it up the way she thought would look best. She then did a little makeup, before having the girl dress in the outfit she had picked out while the girl showered.

"Do you think this is too fancy?" Mercedes asked, causing Natasha to shake her head.
"No, I think it's perfect, especially since you're a Stark, and from what I've seen, Starks dress to impress." Natasha replied, and Mercedes laughed.
"I guess, though I think Dad has Pepper pick his clothes out for him." Mercedes commented, making Natasha scoff.
"I just picked out your clothes, young lady." Natasha retorted, causing Mercedes to roll her eyes jokingly.
By the time Mercedes was completely ready, the girls heard a knock on the door. Natasha told Mercedes she'd get the door, as Mercedes finished doing whatever touch-ups she believed that she needed.
"She ready?" Clint asked, as Natasha let him inside.
"Just about." Natasha replied, smirking at her other best friend.
Mercedes came out of her room a minute later, and Clint's jaw practically hit the floor. She looked absolutely gorgeous, and if Clint wasn't already in love with her, he'd definitely be now. To be honest, she was beyond perfect to him, but seeing her so dressed up made his heart skip a beat.
"You look amazing." He commented, making her smile and blush slightly.
"You look nice as well." She replied, causing him to smile.
"You two have fun," Natasha said, looking over to Mercedes,"I'll lock up once I take Moxley out for a walk." She added, and Mercedes smiled.
"Thank you, Nat." She replied, before she took Clint's hand and walked out the door.
Clint lead Mercedes to his car, and once she was in her seat, he walked around to the driver side and slipped into the car as well. He drove for a while, before he came upon a rather nice looking restaurant. Mercedes had been there only once before, and it was with Natasha. She had taken the woman out for a fancy meal for her birthday. Natasha absolutely loved the food, so Mercedes had a feeling Natasha was the one who helped Clint make reservations.
Mercedes and Clint were seated, before they ordered their drinks. Though it was a date, Mercedes decided to have a non-alcoholic drink, since she wanted to remember the night perfectly. She had chosen an apple kiwi tea, and Clint had simply gotten a soda.
Though she had been there before, Mercedes couldn't help but to admire the decor in the restaurant. The place was absolutely beautiful, and the chandeliers above the tables sparkled like they were made of real crystals. Mercedes thought the place was beautiful, and she was definitely going to let Clint know just how much she liked the place after they had dinner.
The couple ordered some rather expensive food, but this time Clint didn't mind about the price. He believed that Mercedes was worth every penny. Her smile alone could make him do things that he normally wouldn't do for anyone else. She was practically his whole world, and he'd make sure she knew just how much she meant to him as much as he could.
Seeing the sparkle in her eyes when she entered the restaurant made Clint happy, and he mentally noted that he needed to thank Natasha later. The woman had given him the perfect date idea, and he doubted he could've done it without her. She had come up with the place so easily, and he was glad that she did. If it wasn't for her, he would've taken days to find the perfect place for their sixth month anniversary dinner...
