Post Civil War. The avengers are broken up, Tony's alone with his own problems when Natasha returns. Facing her demons and trying to come to terms with her role in the Avengers internal fight, Natasha comes to rely on Tony to help keep her memories...
A few hours later they wake up and get moving. Tasha goes to her closet as Tony goes into the bathroom. She picks out skinny jeans, high top converse, Tony's Black Sabbath shirt, and one of his hoodies. It's huge on her and makes her look like a little kid.
He picks out Levi's, his old work boots, and an orange, long sleeve,button up flannel shirt. He tops it off with a Carhartt active duck jacket from when he was younger.
Since it's 20 days before Halloween, he decides to take her to the local pumpkin patch picking and then around town to the shopping area.
Walking out the front door, he makes sure that everything is secure and locks the door. Pocketing the key he walks over to his old mustang (currently in the works to become Tasha's mustang) and starts it up. The loud, deep rumble of the exhaust pipes is soothing to his ears.

Tasha turns on the radio and switches it to the aux setting and plugs her phone in. Getting on Spotify she looks for her favorite playlist. Finding it she hits shuffle and lets the music play.
But did you see the flares in the sky? Were you blinded by the light? Did you feel the smoke in your eyes? Did you, did you? Did you see the sparks filled with hope? You are not alone 'Cause someone's out there, sending out flares
It's their song.
They've both been blind sided by someone they loved and watched for a sign in the sky that someone would come along and love them how they wish to be loved.
While watching for a sign they didn't realize that the one who would truly love them was always within feet of them self.

Arriving at the pumpkin patch, he turns off the car and looks over towards her. She's gazing with wonder at the pumpkins all orange and round.
He's looking down at her. Watching her like she's his moon surrounded by many stars. Taking her hand, he leads her over to a patch of pumpkins.
She lets go of his hand and walks around the patch touching several pumpkins and picking some up to look at. She never got to go to pumpkin patches when she was with the red room. They were never allowed to have fun and if they got caught playing, then they were sent to the slaughter house. No ones comes back when they are sent there.
He's watching her look at the pumpkins with a thoughtful look on his face. How is he supposed to tell her his secret without her freaking out on him.
As he's thinking he catches a scent.
It's them. ~~~<<<~~~>>>~~~<<<~~~>>>~~~<<<~~~>>>~
She looks up when she notices him readying himself for something. Looking over his shoulder she sees why.
