The new enemies

Prologue

3rd Persons P.O.V

"You've got to be kidding me." Pepper sighed as she removed the hair straightens from Natasha's hair. The red heads hair wasn't going straight like the PA wanted it to and it was causing quite the problem. It was Natasha's and Clint's wedding day, two years after getting engaged.

With all the problems with HYDRA the two assassins never got time to plan any more of their special day and everyone else was busy too, tracking the organisation. However two years later the day had finally arrived. Pepper, Bethany and Deanna were all helping Natasha get ready since they were still her bridesmaids.

"What's wrong Pep?" Bethany asked as she walked into the room. Bethany had grown taller over the passed two years and her hair darker. Her attitude hadn't changed and her personality had stayed the same. Although now being an adult she had became a lot more responsibly than when she was 16.

"Her hair just won't straighten!" Pepper exclaimed, throwing her hands into the air. Beth and Natasha both ducked out of the way of the hot straightens and the PA waved them wildly in the air.

"Well nothing will if you keep waving the straightens around!" Natasha yelled, grabbing the hot electrical from Peppers hand. "Sit down and relax, I'll do my hair." Pepper did as she was told while Beth walked over to where the makeup lay. Everything was lay neatly on the vanity.

The girls had hid away on Natasha's floor of the tower while the boys had all gone to Steve's floor, the furthest away from the girls. The group had made sure that the bride and groom didn't see each other the evening before or all morning, they wanted to keep up with traditions.

Deanna walked into the room, her PJ's still clinging to her small frame. Over the two years the blonde hadn't grown too much but it was a noticeable difference. Her hair has thickened and become slightly lighter. Her bubbly personality had become slightly more professional but not much.

Deanna yawned as she sat herself on the floor by Natasha's feet. Her blue/green/grey eyes were slightly dulled due to the lack of sleep. Everyone's eyes had dulled slightly too, they were all often up all night looking out for my HYDRA threats or Adrienne and Loki. It wore them down more than they would admit to anyone.

"So, you nervous yet?" Pepper asked as she began applying her hair and Bethany began curling Deanna's hair in the same way she and Pepper already had done.

"I don't get nervous." The Russian replied, her voice wavering ever so slightly.

"Liar." Beth insisted. "It's natural to be nervous."

"I'm not nervous!" Natasha snapped. "I just feel a little sick."

"That's nerves girl!" Pepper grinned.

"Don't worry." Deanna comforted, patting the red heads leg. "You'll be fine. As soon as you see Clint at the end of the Isle nothing else will matter but him and saying 'I do'."

"You sound like you've been married." Beth chuckled.

"I've been to enough of them to know what people's feelings are." Deanna replied as she began adding her own makeup as Beth finished her hair.

Two hours later everyone was standing in the church. Fury at the front with Natasha and Clint as they said their vows. The three bridesmaids (Deanna, Beth and Pepper) were all standing at Natasha's side while the best man (Bruce) stood at Clint's side. The other Avengers all sat in the front row.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. Barton you may kiss the bride." Fury announced. The two assassins came together in a sweet kiss while the small crowd they had cheered and 'whooped'. Fury cracked a very small smile as he clapped a few times over before becoming neutral again.

"Let's get this party started!" Deanna yelled, grabbing the skirt of her dress and jogging down the isle; following after Clint and Natasha and being followed by Beth, Pepper and then the rest of the guests. All of them heading back to the Avengers Tower to party the night away.

When the time for the first dance song came everyone but Bethany and Deanna had, had a little to drink but they all went silent while Clint and Natasha Barton danced to Amazed by Lonestar. It was a sweet song that fitted the two perfectly, Clint even sung along while keeping eye contact with his new wife.
