Who: Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff What: Catching up. Where: Tony’s Workshop When: November 20th
They lived in the same house — although for how long, Tony wasn’t really sure. He’d expected Natasha to stay a few nights and then decide that she needed more of her own space, but so far she seemed… content to just be where she was. Tony didn’t mind. He was happy for it, if he was being honest. There was something nice about always hearing someone wandering around, about knowing that the people he cared for most were right there, and most definitely alive.
Not all of them made it out so lucky in the real world, and Tony had been pretty good at shrugging that idea off right up until Peter had shown up bloody and crying and —
Yeah. It was something that was on his mind a bit more lately. Him and Natasha, they were in a different sort of boat together than some of the others. Best to stick together, he figured. Also, they were friends. But despite all that and living together, he didn’t feel like he actually saw her much beyond in passing. Which was why he invited her over for coffee, some tech check ups and some random chatter. Why not, right?
“So,” he said, making conversation and grabby hands at Natasha, so she’d give him her stingers to look over. “Tell me what’s new in the life of the Black Widow.”
