Natasha's P.O.V
Today was Halloween. For the twins' first Halloween, Athakis was an angel and Emilii was a demon. The costume was fitting since they went through a phase where Athakis was calm and easy to handle and Emilii was the spawn of Satan. At two they went dressed as pirates, and the year after that they were zombies. This year they picked out a Lilo and Stitch set and they were adorable. Athakis's costume was a suit with blue fur and the ears with a mask that resembled the animated creature. He was having a blast crawling around and snarling like an animal. Occasionally he'd lift up his mask to remind us that its just a costume and he wasn't really a monster.
Emilii on the other hand was disappointed in her costume.
"I don't look like Lilo." She pouted
"Sure you do. Look at your dress. Just like Lilo."
"But my hair-"
"Isn't black. But at least it's straight. And look, daddy even put a beautiful flower in your hair."
She touched the fresh lily in her hair that Percy picked for from the gardens on Olympus. And it was convenient because the Empire State building was only 20 minutes away from here.
"It is pretty." She whispered
"See? Now go play with your brother while we get dressed." I said
She ran out the room and I heard them giggle and chase each other around. I entered our closet and took out three individually wrapped costumes.
"Three? Ain't that a bit much?" Percy said.
"No not at all. This one is for the kid's party at the mansion." I pointed to the see-through bag that had my Kim Possible costume. "This one is for the party at headquarters." I showed him the 20's style white dress I had tucked into its wrap complete with heels and a hat. "And this one." I turned to him and pulled him closer. I stood up on my toes to whisper in his ear.
"Is for your eyes only."
"I love it already. Can I get a hint as to what it is?"
I raked my nails down his neck and bit hard down on his collarbone almost drawing blood.
"You've heard how the Black Widow kills her partners right?"
He shivered.
"Listen closely. For the entire night I am going to need you to be a good boy. Can you do that?"
"It depends." He said dipping down to suck on my neck. I slapped him and pushed him away.
"No touching. You cannot do a single thing without my permission. You speak when I tell you too, you breath when I say so. Are we clear?"
He nodded.
"Good. Now the only thing I need you to do is strip me down so I can get ready for costume one. You may use your hands to do so. Remember just take the clothes off."
His hand went to the hem of my shirt and tugged at it.
I leaned back moving the all black plastic that held my third costume to the end of the bed and sighed.
This was going to be fun.

At 6 we made our way to the X-Mansion where Professor X was hosting a party. Scott, Hope and Cassie along with Sam and his niece Maya and our family were attending. It didn't take long seeing as I had the keys to the fastest transportation vehicle in the world. As I parked the car and dis-engaged flight mode it reverted back to it's regular sedan appearance. The twins were super pumped and all but ran to the front door of the mansion where Ryan opened the door dressed in his Greek warrior costume. It came with the non-existent chest piece and plastic sword too.
