Bright Young Things: Tony And Natasha

Memories

Saw a headcannon where Tony & Natasha are actually siblings and no one knows it yet.

************************

Howard and Maria Stark were the proud parents of two beautiful children. One a free spirited little girl whose long red curls and bright emerald eyes, Natasha and the other an intelligent brown eyed boy who loved to tinker with everything and anything, Anthony. They were the light of their lives and they couldn't be happier to have them both. Every so often something reminded them of the fact they almost lost their little girl.

Had they been even a minute slower, it could have ended differently..

..

"Howard! We have to hurry! They probably already know we're here! The girls are in these rooms down that hall. All we need to do is send everyone into the rooms to get them. Quickly guys!" Maria shouted the orders at the rest of the agents. Some of the girls were awake already havjng been awoken by the commotion. They fought back the agents.

"We've got them." Howard currently was holding a small redheaded child to him. She clung to him tightly and when she saw Maria she pushed away from him and went to her. She noticed the rest of the beds were empty. In fact, the rooms they had barged into were all empty save for the single child currently in her husbands arms. Where were the children?

"Are you here to save me?" The question broke her out off her thoughts and she looked down at the small child.

"I want to leave." Her voice was soft as if she was scared to speak aloud, her body trembling as tears started streaming down her face.

Maria's heart broke for the small child clinging to her. She immediately made a choice and looked up at Howard to see he had made the same choice. She was theirs.

Suddenly a boom sounded and smoke filled the room and the next they knew the child was gone and they were knocked onto the floor.

"No. No. No!" She lost her. They lost her.

The other girls were already gone but she wasn't.

It took them 10 minutes but they got her back. The other girls weren't so lucky and she hated the fact but this child, this child was special. She survived and therefore she would reach her full potential. And they would help her.

"You think Tony would love her?"

"I do. He's always wanted a sister."

************************

5 years later....

"Hurry Nattie!" They ran through the thick snow towards their parents.

"Wait! Tones, you're too fast!" The small girl panted as she stopped to catch her breath, her breath catching in the air as she watched it flow into the air.

"Okay children let's go!" Maria Stark yelled back at her two kids.

"I've got you Nattie!" The boy circled back to his little sister who was laying in the snow as her auburn hair fanned underneath her.

"Come on Nat." He helped her up and carried her on his back.

"Thanks Tony!" She laid her head on his shoulder happy that her life was like this now. Once upon a time it wasn't like this.

Once upon a time she would wake up shackled to a too-small wire bed. Once upon a time she had another family but the flames took them away. Once upon a time she was stuck in a school where the girls were forced to work out everyday, eat small portions and if they ate more they'd be punished. If they spoke back to the instructors they'd be punished. They were forced to fight each other. She went to bed every night with sprained ankles, wrists, and sowmtimes her head hurt so much and she felt so lightheaded from the malnurishment that she could barely get out of bed. But if she didn't she'd get punished. Some girls never came back from their punishment. She thought she knew why but never could prove it.

One day a kind couple came and broke into the school and into the room where she was. They weren't alone though. No, there were more of them. When the instructors realized what wa happening, they took the girls and put them in trucks. She was already with the couple but They were overpowered and she was taken. The instructors grabbed her and put her in the truck too where they had turned on some sort of gas and all she remembered was that she couldn't breath and she was really tired. When she awoke she found out she was the only one who has survived.

"The others were exposed for too long" she overheard. She cried into the morning hours that night.

But now, now she has a family. People who care about her and she's beyond happy for it all.

She was ripped from her memories by hee brother shaking her.

"Natasha?" He looked worried.

"I'm fine. I was just remembering some things." She pretended she didn't see their parents exchange a concerned look.

"Mom and dad said we could go to the gala with them later."

"Really?!" She was excited now.

"We thought it was time to introduce you two to society."

Natasha and Tony were over the moon with this news. They has always wanted to go to one of the parties. And now they'd finally be able to!

In the next chapter they'll meet a future avenger!

So as I was saying, it was a headcannon posted on Instagram by an account I don't know the name of at this moment and it was basically that Nat and Tony were siblings, Maria and Howard were on a mission to Russia to take down the Red Room & brought Natasha back with them. The other avengers won't know until much later.
