Monster of a Ghost | Avenger's OC|

Vomited Stars and Stripes

Since Kelsey had moved to New York City in 2003 she had made it a point to avoid celebrating any and every single holiday she could.

Whenever questioned about why she did not celebrate, she would vehemently declare that they were just a waste of time and money. And though the statements were not wrong it also may have been linked the want she had to keep to herself for the past nine years.

But after joining the Avengers there was one specific holiday she was going to celebrate without a shadow of a doubt. 

It was the Fourth of July and a certain Capsicle was turning ninety four. And of course since he was the embodiment of the american flag so they had to celebrate. But not everyone knew about the party, after all what's better than a surprise party for the oldest member of the team.

"Hey Natasha, do you mind helping me for the day, I've got a few things I need to take care of and it would be great to have a second pair of hands." Kelsey called entering the training room where she and Steve were in the middle of sparing.

"Sure no problem." Natasha responded without taking her eyes off of Steve as he swung at her roughly.

"If you want I can help." Steve also called just as Natasha dropped him to the ground. Smiling Kelsey shook her head resting her back against the matted walls of the training room watching as the pair continued to go at it.

"Sorry Gramps, but I need her help with some girls stuff unless you have something you've been meaning to tell everyone, like an affinity for women's clothes."

"Hey," Steve started as he and Natasha finally broke apart. "Respect your elders."

With his words, Kelsey let out a loud laugh throwing Natasha a shirt to put on, since they had to leave Stark Towers to get there supplies.

"Oh I do except for the ones who take seventy year naps in glaciers  and biologically still seem to be under thirty." Her quip came back almost instantaneously. Her response got all three of them laughing, and Natasha simply put on a denim button up shirt over her white sports bra leaving the top three buttons undone.

"We'll see you later, Steve." Natasha said looping her right arm into Kelsey's left arm. The two women left Steve in the training room without another word going into a waiting elevator and heading town to the underground garage.

"You haven't told him anything right?" Kelsey looked quickly to the red headed assassin.

"And spoil the surprise? No way." Natasha smiled in return getting a sigh out of relief from Kelsey. "So what do we have left to do?" 

Sighing Kelsey pulled out her phone quickly unlocking her iPhone and going onto notes to look at the checklist. The elevator arrived at the basement floor into the garage where there were rows of expensive cars and some motorcycles too.

"Um we just need to pick up the cake and balloons otherwise it's just decorating. Oh actually Clint said he got some fireworks so we can set those up on the roof to set off at night."

With her words Kelsey and Natasha climbed into the least eye catching of the cars some four door silver sports car. Natasha slid into the drivers seat and turning the car on with the press of a button, pulling out the parking spot as soon as the engine roared.

"Is that legal?" Natasha asked as she pulled out of the garage.

Laughing Kelsey looked over to the bright hair assassin with a big smile simply saying, "Who the hell cares?"

With that, the two were gone, speeding away from Stark Towers, picking up the cake first then the ridiculous amount of red, whit and blue balloons Tony had ordered for the party. Getting back to Kelsey's apartment, the two women left the car Kelsey taking the large cake  while Natasha managed all the balloons. The two of them made their way up the four stories to Kelsey's apartment. Leaving the cake to levitate in mid air as she unlocked the door for the two of them.
