“How are you perfectly fine?”

My granddad asked Natasha seeing she was moving around without any problems as he placed a pack of ice on his head.

Natasha just smiled at that and sat by me watching T.V as they all sat quietly eating the breakfast we had prepared for them.

After a while, they joined us one by one finishing off the breakfast.

My grandmother said to me with a painful migraine. “Sometimes I wish I didn’t drink like you David.”

Hearing this Jack looked at me curiously before asking. “Bro, why don’t you drink?”

“No!”

“Stop!”

“Don’t ask!”

Everyone shouted in unison to Jack who looked at them in confusion.

I grinned hearing Jack’s question along with everyone’s dreaded look including Natasha’s. “Drinking alcohol is not good for your body Jack…”

I began stating many scientific facts why it was not good and soon Jack understood why everyone had shouted at him.

Natasha looked at Jack in annoyance. “You had to do it didn’t you?”

Jack replied innocently and dazed by the overwhelming facts I had spewed. “I was curious.”

“Ever heard of the saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’, Jack?”

Granddad asked him to which he finally realised its meaning.

Jack nodded as he looked at me. “So, what don’t you drink?”

“Coffee, tea, beer and alcohol. If I am in the mood, I drink wine but that is only on very rare occasions.”

I told him after which he looked at me strangely. “What do you drink then?”

I replied. “Water, juice and fizzy drinks.”

As Jack looked at me like I was some kind of mystical being Natasha chuckled as she added on from the side. “He is weird, isn’t he?”

Jack nodded as we all began laughing.

We stayed there for 1 more day before leaving the early morning of Sunday back home.

[Shield HQ]

Fury rubbed his forehead seeing the satellite images of his best agent next to the most wanted person in the world and his family in England.

“What do we do Fury?”

Fury looked at Hill. “She is not answering any of our calls or responding to us. We can’t approach her without David knowing either.”

Fury nodded as he looked at the screen. “Get me Stark on the line.”

Hill nodded and began dialling causing a pop of Tony to appear on the screen in front of Fury. “What’s up my most favourite one-eyed Cyclops?”

Tony asked Fury as he seemed to be driving. “You busy Stark?”

“I am always busy Fury. What do you need?”

Fury noticed the beach behind Tony with a tick mark on his head. “What do you think of David?”

Tony frowned hearing that question. “What? I can’t hear you, Fury, I will call you later.”

Tony pretended as if he couldn’t hear anything. “Tony I have to judge whether I am going to declare an agent of mine rogue or not on your opinion.”

Tony slowed the car down and looked at Fury in disbelief. “Seriously how dumb are you? Don’t you remember how he easily ate through the Chitauri like they were snacks? And you still want to piss him off?”

Fury nodded. “That is why I want to seek a professionals opinion. How dangerous are those nanobots?”

“Dangerous? Ha!”

Tony laughed sarcastically. “Fury you are vastly underestimating him. If David wanted to have destroyed or taken over the world by now, no amount of super-soldiers, spies, Hulk, nukes or gods could possibly stop him.”

Everyone noticed how Tony purposely left out himself from the list.

Suddenly the screen shifted to show Bruce who was in his summer clothes and sunglasses. “Sorry I got to interrupt since you are talking about my friend here.”

Fury looked surprised seeing Bruce. “Dr Bruce?”

“I was dragged out of the lab to the beach with him and Happy.”

*Snore* The camera shifted slightly to the back to show Happy snoring at the back seat. Both Fury and Hill looked at them in pity. Seeing the look of pity irritated Bruce as he asked them. “If you are worried about his nanobots let me remind you something Fury. How do you think he escaped from space and got back to Earth within hours?”

Fury became interested in knowing this. “How?”

Bruce grinned hearing this. “I suggest you do some homework on black holes, white holes and wormholes. Then guess how he escaped.”

Just as Fury’s eyes widened he heard an exclaim. “Are you kidding me!?”

All of them listened to Tony’s exclaim. “He recreated a wormhole?”

Bruce shook his head. “Not exactly create it but more like...”

Bruce suddenly stopped as he looked at Fury. “Not that I don’t trust you, but I don’t want to spill more things to a government organisation that he doesn’t trust sorry.”

Fury frowned as he nodded. “Trust me, the nanobots are just the tip of the iceberg in his arsenal. The things those nanobots did that everyone witnessed was just a part of their basic abilities. I suggest you just leave him alone. As long as Nat is there, he won’t do anything drastic or stupid as she will keep him in check, and he knows that as well.”

Tony grabbed the phone from Bruce. “Enough about that pineapple head. Now leave us alone, we boys need some sun and limbo.”

Tony hung up the phone in annoyance leaving Fury to muse over what 2 of the Avengers had told him.

“What do we…”

*Knock**Knock* Just as Hill began to ask a question a series of knocks interrupted them. “Come in.”

Fury called out causing the door to open revealing Jasper. “Fury, Pierce called to ask you about Mission Red Panda.”

Fury remembered the contents behind the mission Pierce had suggested to him. “Absolutely not.”

Fury ordered as he remembered the warning David gave them of the Red Room. ‘Force Natasha to be with him as part of a mission or make things uncomfortable between them, then what happened to Red Room won’t just be a myth anymore.’

He would have to be a fool to use Nat against David especially after the warning Tony and Bruce gave him.

Jasper frowned as he heard this. “But…”

“Tell Pierce I will see him personally soon enough. Take off the wanted status from David and focus manpower somewhere that is actually useful.” Fury ordered as he walked out of the room.

“Also, for the sake of the world get Agent Romanoff on the line!”

Fury ordered before he walked out of the room leaving Jasper and Hill to quietly look at his fading back.

[David PoV]

I frowned as I saw Natasha ignoring the call on her phone. I asked her. “Why are you ignoring the call?”

Nat sighed as she laid on my shoulder as we sat in the park. “I don’t want to use you. If I go back they will either make me use you or hold me in there.”

I sighed hearing this. “Nat they won’t use you. They are probably calling to ask you if you still want to go back to your job.”

I saw the look on her face and knew what she wanted. “Don’t worry Fury should have received enough warning by now to not mess with me. He won’t do anything stupid to pit you against me.”

I caressed her hair as she stood up. “Fine.”

I saw the smile on her face as she grabbed her phone.

Life went ahead smoothly as we enjoyed our holiday. Especially with Natasha’s joy at finding my wanted status has been lifted.

We all took a 1 week holiday to Greece much to Jack’s happiness at being able to skip school.

After coming back, Natasha and I stayed for few more days before we decided to go back to America much to everyone’s sadness.

My parents insisted on dropping us off at the airport even though I had said no. I didn’t want to blow their mind up with portals and whatnot when they could barely hold it together with the suit I had shown them.

After my parents had left the airport, both of us legged it out of the airport before the British government had the wonderful idea of capturing me just for the fun of it, since I was inside an airport.

“Where are we going?”

Nat asked me seeing as how we kept going in a taxi without using the portal. I smiled as I replied to her. “I decided to make our journey back to America fun and adventurous.”

She looked confused but decided to trust me. A few hours later we arrived at Portsmouth international port.

She exclaimed as she figured out how I was planning to travel. “You have got to be kidding me.”

I grinned as I heard her exclaim. “I have got to start working next week.”

Natasha reminded me. “I can give them the information that Fury needs you to find out for him.”

I told her back as I guided her. I noticed the smile on her face.

After a bit of walking, we arrived in front of a large white luxury yacht with the symbol of a potato. Seeing the potato Natasha’s eyes twitched as she looked at me. “Do you have some kind of attachment to potato?”

I just winked at her question and bought her on board. As we got on top and Natasha looked around she suddenly asked me. “Do you know how to drive a yacht?”

I raised my head proudly. “Who needs to learn that when you can do this?”

I turned towards the yacht as she smiled. “Lo and behold. Set destination to Manhattan.”

As soon as I had finished the yacht took off. Nat rolled her eyes. “Right, genius fiancé.”

I chuckled hearing that as she placed her luggage down and walked towards the front of the yacht. We had done an awful lot of shopping in Greece causing us to have quite a lot of bags to carry back home. Especially Nat when she kept saying she had a surprise for me and wouldn’t let me help her pack up.

I watched as the wind blew her short red hair back along with her the green sleeve dress we brought from Greece. I went behind her and hugged her only for her to smile and caress my face. “You know I never really got on a yacht unless it was for a mission.”

I breathed onto her ears as I replied. “Now you do.”

She giggled as she moved her ears away from me. “That tickles.”

I grabbed her hands and played locked it with my own as we watched the port moving further and further away from us. “We better go in before the true show begins.”

I warned her causing her to turn around and look at me in confusion.

Suddenly the sides of the boat started folding on itself and realisation soon dawned upon Natasha what was about to happen. “You seriously didn’t make it as the Helicarrier did you?”

I shook my head. “Flying is too easy. I did something more awesome.”

I quickly grabbed her hand and quickly bought her in along with our luggage. After a few minutes, the door automatically closed tightly. “This place is beautiful.”

Natasha looked around happily. “I am glad you like it.”

I smiled as I grabbed her hand and brought her to the very front where there was a very large bed in front of the glass window.

As we sat down on the bed watching the sea and sky in front of us. Suddenly all sounds from the outside became isolated.

Seconds after that the boat started sinking. “Woah!”

Just as butterflies flew in our stomach Natasha exclaimed. She looked at me in surprise as she realised what was happening.

She wrapped her arms around me tightly as she asked me in slight worry. “Do you think the glass can handle the pressure?”

I assured her. “You are in safe hands even if it can’t.”

Natasha watched with a bit of fear and excitement as we moved under the sea. She exclaimed seeing the deep blue like this for the 1st time. “Wow, it’s beautiful!”

We kept moving down rapidly until my watch informed me we reached 750 meters. “How far can your ship go?” Natasha asked me in worry.

“10,000 meters.”

This surprised her and earned a relief from her seeing we were not even using 10% of the boat’s capabilities.

We both watched the sea quietly as I rested my chin on her shoulder.

“How do you want to be the first humans to have sex under the sea?”

She laughed hearing that. “I think I will like that achievement on my record.”

She turned around and placed a finger on my lips. “But...”

She leaned in and kissed my cheeks. “…we have to take a shower first, separately.”

I looked at her in disbelief to see her giggle having teased me. “You are doing this on purpose aren’t you?”

She nodded with an evil grin. “Remember how you made me wait so long on the farm.”

My eyebrows twitched. “You mean the time where I stopped you so that you won’t reopen your wounds?”

She shrugged her shoulder as she got up. “Where is the shower?”

To her question, I just smiled nefariously. Noticing this she looked at me in worry. “Why are you smiling like that?”

I shrugged my shoulders as I went towards our bag and grabbed 2 towels and the clothes to change into. “Nothing.”

She glared at me as I stood up with the clothes and towel in my arms. She reminded me. “You are having a shower separately David.”

I grinned as I shrugged once more. “Sure, but let me show you where to go.”

I motioned her to follow me as she took her spare change of clothes and towel from me.

I grabbed her hands just as we approached the stairs leading down. “Can you close your eyes and not open them until I tell you?”

I asked her to which she looked at me with a smile. “Alright.”

She trusted me and closed her eyes as I led her down the stairs. “No peeking.”

I warned her. I knew she didn’t open her eyes because of how calm she was. “Sure, but how long do I have to keep my eyes closed?”

“Just a bit more Nat.”

We reached the bottom of the stairs and I guided her to the bathroom.

I took her to the centre of the bathroom before I told her. “Open your eyes.”

She opened her eyes expecting some kind of surprise but what she saw terrified her.
