Natasha Romanoff was aware that there were other people besides the Avengers that had access to the compound.
There were various employees, researchers, janitorial staff, even a full-time chef, that spent the majority of their day at the compound. She knew for a fact that none of these employees lived at the compound, with only a few security guards and the occasional coffee-fueled scientist being seen after 10pm. The security guards manned the perimeter of the compound, not actually straying inside of the building, and FRIDAY usually sent any leftover scientists home after the clock struck midnight.
So that's why she was confused as to why she was hearing unfamiliar voices coming from one of the Avengers-only areas, at three in the morning. She hadn't been able to fall asleep and had decided to walk through the halls to try and ease her mind, when she heard noise coming from one of the lounge areas. When she slowly peeked her head around the corner of the doorway, she was surprised to find two teenagers sprawled on one of the couches, limbs tangled up so much that she couldn't tell whose leg belonged to who.
Her eyes narrowed. Teenagers? How had they managed to break into the compound? And why were they just sitting on the couch? Was this some sort of trap?
Just as she was contemplating her next move, the brown-haired teenager stiffened, sitting up abruptly and whipping his head around to look her dead in the eye. She had to resist the urge to flinch back in shock. Impossible. She hadn't even moved, so how had he known she was there?
The H/C haired teenager on the couch groaned as she finally caught site of her as well.
"Ugh. Great. Just what we fucking needed at three in the morning. Can't even have one relaxing night without these people ruining something. This is bullshit." She heard her grumble as she untangled herself from the boy, who had still not taken his eyes off of her.
Natasha's eyebrows raised. She didn't have a clue who these teens were, and yet they were very obviously disturbed by her presence. She steps out from behind the doorway, and crosses her arms. "Who are you, and what are you doing in the Avengers Compound?" She says seriously, still unsure if this is some sort of Hydra trap.
The H/C haired teenager finally gets her limbs untangled from the other teen, before vaulting over the couch and approaching her with her own hands on hi hips. "You know, I thought you were a better than this Agent Romanoff. Aren't ya like a spy or something? You don't even know who's living in the same compound as you. My name's Y/N and we are Mr. Stark's interns, but you would've known that if you were half the spy you thought you were." The teen bites out.
The taller teen had slowly walked up so he was standing just behind the seething H/C haired girl. Natasha was surprised by him yet again, not even noticing his approach. He reached down and placed a hand on the shoulder of the H/C haired teen, she now knew was Y/N.
"Y/N/N-" the teen begins to say before he's interrupted.
"Intern's? Tony doesn't have interns." Natasha questions, confused as to why Y/N is so angry with her.
"Wrong again, sweetheart. He's got interns and you're looking right at them. FRIDAY tell the lady." Y/N says, leaning into the other teen's touch.
FRIDAY chooses that moment to speak up. "Y/N is correct Agent Romanoff. Her and Peter are Mr. Stark's personal interns, and have been granted full access to the Avenger's compound. Though, Boss has requested they keep their distance from the other Avengers."
Natasha raises an eyebrow at that. Tony has interns? Why did he not want the avengers to know about them? The taller teen, Peter - Natasha notes, chooses that moment to speak up again.
"Y/N/N lets just go. It's late and I'm not in the mood for a confrontation." Y/N tilts her head in Peter's direction but doesn't take her eyes off of Natasha.
"But babe I was just getting started." She says, a small grin on her face.
"I know you're just getting started, which is why I'm ending it so I don't have to explain to Mr. Stark why his intern was antagonizing an avenger at 3 in the morning in the living room. Let's just go to bed, before you start a fight that I'm going to have to finish." He squeezes Y/N's shoulder which finally gets the teen to turn towards him.
"You're no fun, have I told you that before, Pete?" Y/N says, taking Peter's hand from her shoulder and interlacing their fingers.
"I'm sure it's been mentioned a few times before." Peter mutters as he rolls his eyes, before turning to the agent who is looking dumb-founded at the two teens. "Sorry for bothering you Agent Romanoff. We will be on our way. If you have any more questions about our presence here, please direct them towards FRIDAY or Mr. Stark." The teen says without giving her time to respond, before turning on his heel and dragging Y/N out of the room with him.
Natasha waits for a few minutes after the teenagers leave the room, making sure they really left, before heading back to her own room in a state of shock.
There were teenagers living in the Avengers compound? Tony has interns? Did she just get a verbal bitch-slap from a kid less than half her age for no apparent reason besides her existence? Tony has interns? Why had they not been informed of their presence sooner?
... Tony has interns?
She makes a note to gather the other avengers in the morning, and inform them of this new piece of information.
