"Stop it! Ow that hurts!" Natasha scolded Clint as he poked her with the large fork he was holding. "You guys act like children." Cassandra noticed.
Clint stuck his tongue out at her, and she did it back, setting the bowl of salad on the table. Natasha sat down, grabbing a roll of bread from the plate and stuffing it in her mouth quickly.
"Auntie Cass!" Cooper, Clint's oldest son, and Lila, his daughter, ran up to her, and threw their arms around her. "Hey you guys!" She said, picking up Lila, and pulled Cooper into her, ruffling her hair.
She kissed Lila on the cheek, and kissed Cooper on the top of the head, setting Lila down. Clint's wife, Laura, gave her a hug, and Cassandra helped set the rest of the food down. She sat down next to Natasha, and set her napkin in her lap.
"You're so old fashioned," Natasha teased. "I have manners, unlike some people," she replied, lightly hitting her friend in the arm.
Cassandra helped the kids cut the steak on their plates, and then cut a piece of her's and put it in her mouth. It was delicious, spicy and sweet at the same time. Natasha was eating so fast that Cassandra had to remind her to slow down so she wouldn't choke.

Cassandra had a colored pencil in her hand, trying her best to make a real looking, well, maybe it was a turtle, or a butterfly. Either way she was failing miserably. Lila put a paper down in front of her, and she looked at it.
"Wow, that's so pretty!" "It's daddy as a chicken!"
Natasha snorted from the couch she was sitting on, and dropped over to Cassandra and Lila. She looked at it, and her eyes widened before she burst into laughter.
"Clint come here, you have to see this," she said, barely able to speak without laughing.
Clint looked at it, blinking a few times before looking at his daughter.
"Is that me?" He asked, genuinely confused. "Yeah daddy it's you as a chicken!" Lila exclaimed. "We are keeping this," Laura said once she'd looked at the glorious picture. "Well I'd hope so," Natasha remarked, tears welling in her eyes.

Natasha sat in the passenger seat of Cassandra's car, looking out the window. There were to rather large cups of coffee in the cup holders, and both women looked on the brink of insanity.
