The party was in full swing by the time their friends showed up.
Natasha and Tony were enthusiastic about the party and had set up their own little section far from the prying eyes of their parents.
However beneath the fun and jazz there lay an alternative motive.
************************
Howard and Maria had realized that their children were both 16 and 19 years old. Neither had suiters waiting. They'd been so busy with the company they'd forgotten that it wad long past time to start looking.So they threw a party in the hopes of finding suiters. It only helped when Tony and Natasha asked about attending. They wouldn't need to persuade then themselves. They set themselves to work sending out invitations to every suitable young man and woman.
They must be of respectable stations of course! Maria had exclaimed.
As if they'd be anything less? Howard had replied.
Natasha is simply stunning. Even at only 16 years of age. It won't be too hard to find a suitable boy. Tony though, while he's handsome enough, he's the one who would drive away any suiters because if his intent to curtail our every position.
Natasha will be the one to fall in line quicker and accept what we say. I think we should focus on her first. She will need to be instructed on what you wear and how to act. I worry she's a bit too free with her actions. But with the right man, she can be tamed. Howard ended the conversation by ringing up three different families: the family of Alexei the heir to a tobacco company out west, Steve Rogers whose family owned multiple wineries abroad and came from old money and then there was Clint Barton- his family was an old family. They ran the underground liquor business. Others were invited as well but these three had the most potential.
And for Antony? I was thing the family of Virginia Potts. You know she's an cotton heiress? Her family has more money than we do. I feel that maybe inviting the family of Maria Hill would serve us well. While she may not be a match first our son, perhaps if they became friends that would benefit us in a way. And lastly, maybe that Sharon Carter. You know Peggy's Sharon? We know them so it won't be as out if the way. And they have old British money with royal blood. Maria suspected Miss. Potts would be it but knew to give her husband options. She still wasn't too keen on finding her Natasha a husband to tame her so she was going to do whatever she could to ensure her babies got partners that matched them. They needed real people not ideas of people. They needed someone to be with them as their partners not some business plan. They needed love. She would go along with the plan as long as she could before choosing the perfect young man and woman first her children. She already knew but had to let Howard believe it was all his idea.
Steven Rogers and Virginia Potts.
And with that she set on finding Natasha the ugliest dress she could.
If I know her as well as I think I do, it'll spur her onto a new dress. One specifically picked to contrast the one I give her. Tony will be harder because he'll want to impress his father.
With that in mind she made her mind up and knocked on the red, gold and black accented door.
Natasha? Can I come in?
