Tony + Nat

WHERE: Ostrich's Villa & eating establishment
WHEN: Backdated to Sunday, June 16
WARNINGS: Language, maybe
SPOILERS? Through Infinity War

Tony felt better than when he first arrived in Goodland on Saturday. Having Peter back improved his mental state tremendously although he was still concerned about everything back in his real time. Was Pepper alright? Rhodey? Happy? The rest of the Avengers? He was starting to realize they were likely copies of their authentic selves so he figured he was still technically back in his real world, but that didn't help his current consciousness that still felt connected to everyone back home. However, he had a reason to make the best of everything in Goodland now. Maybe that was why he was actually responding to people via the web board. Maybe that was why he took a risk and invited Nat to lunch and drinks when she mentioned she was craving Chinese food.

He hadn't seen her since their disagreement about Nat letting Steve and Bucky go in Germany. She hadn't been wrong, not really, but Tony really felt alone back then and feeling like he lost yet another friend really bothered him. Nonetheless, he was getting past everything with the Accords when the aliens landed in New York. He was so close to marrying Pepper and getting everything he wanted. Happiness had been within reach, but he still thought about the other Avengers he didn't see, especially Steve, Vision, and Nat.

He missed her. He hoped his invitation told her that. Still, he felt nervous as he waited outside her apartment door with the folded umbrella from his apartment (the entity was annoying, but at least it planned for these things) tucked under his arm.

She nodded. "Yeah, I was and I know you were upset and we all said things we shouldn't have. That's what happens. I just wish there had been a way to avoid things turning into a fight." That was what had bothered her the most. She thought of the Avengers as her family, the only one she'd ever really known and it hurt to see them arguing.

"But hey, we'll be fine. We've found the neighborhood bar and a Chinese restaurant. I'd say we're batting a thousand."

"It was never supposed to get to that point," he responded. Tony wanted to go easy on them; he said as much to Nat at the time. He never would have brought Peter in if he thought...

He diverted his thoughts again. Going down that path only led to more bitterness, which served no purpose given their current circumstances. Steve wasn't there. Clint wasn't there. It was like staying angry at ghosts. He had enough of that with his old man.

"Right," he said, grinning, "So long as there are bars and food, we're good."

"That's what I figure. The job thing is a little daunting, I don't think former assasin slash spy is something that will work well here," she grinned. "but there's got to be something. Someone was asking me and the first thing I thought of was being a personal trainer. I even thought about trying out for the ballet but it's been a long time since I put on my toe shoes. I'd probably fall flat on my ass."

Although the idea of taking some dance classes had crossed her mind. Maybe she'd look into that when she had some money to pay for them.

	He was happy to get off the past. "Dance teacher?" He suggested. "You are good at barking orders and getting things accomplished." He meant it as a compliment. Natasha was fierce in the best way possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Natasha laughed. "I am good at barking orders, aren't I? But I'd have to be a little bit better at it myself before I teach anyone else. Unless it's a bunch of kids whose moms just wanted them to be able to say they took ballet lessons and didn't plan on them making a career of it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Isn't that technically most of them?" Tony asked. His mind wandered to the dream he was telling Pepper about when Strange and Banner appeared in the wizard's weird light orb. He guessed having that baby he dreamed about wouldn't come to fruition considering Thanos slashed their world back home. Likely for the best; what sort of father would he be anyway? "But, really, whatever you decide, you'll do well. It is who you are."

	"Thank you Tony, that means a lot," she picked up her wine glass and finished it. "and you will too. Whatever you end up doing. You're good at making things work that I never even dreamed were possible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She took his hand and got up. "Yes, I am ready for some Chinese and I haven't been drinking much lately so it might hit me harder if I don't eat," she smirked. "but maybe my Russian blood will take care of that."

Tony faked a smile. He was smart, sure, but he also screwed up a whole lot of things lately. Nonetheless, he had to keep going and, luckily, it looked like he at least had Nat again, which lifted a tremendous weight off his shoulders. He pulled his wallet out and left some money on the table. "You ready for that Chinese? They tell me drinking on an empty stomach isn't wise." He held his hand out.
