“By signing the regulations, I provided ‘The Avengers’ will still remain a private organisation that can act on any foreign grounds without giving any sort of biometrics to them and being subjected to government regulations.
In return, all we have to do is give the government a detailed report of what happened and what we did on their soil.
Should any of the members in avengers go rogue ‘The Avengers’ will have to capture and detain them themselves. Any damage the government sustain from a rogue avenger will be given to them in the monetary value of any sort from the Avengers' own pocket, unless they declare capturing that avenger is not possible at which point the government will assist them along with getting full custody of the rogue avenger when they capture them. Along with few others.” I explained.
“But would the governments of other countries and UN agree to this?” Natasha asked me.
“Have you heard of the carrot and stick approach?” I asked Natasha who nodded.
“All most 99% of politicians are corrupted, that is my stick.”
“What about the carrot?”
“You know just draining the money from all the hydra agents in the world made me one of the richest people in the world. Not to mention the fat sheep of hydra as a whole who is hiding underground.” I smiled.
Natasha nodded as I took off.
As we arrived home, I helped change her identity and give her a new cover, as everything about her and everyone in Shield was online for a while before the world government took it down. But those moment of it being online was enough for the whole world to find out everything about everyone, including Nat.
I didn't attempt to stop it, as the Ancient One had stopped me from doing anything, including changing Nat's files and records.
“No wonder Bruce simply disappeared from our radar and we didn’t doubt Jeff at all,” Natasha told me seeing how prepared I was.
*Ring**Ring*
My phone rang. Looking at it, it was my dad.
“Hello, Dad?” I answered.
“What the hell was with that hearing? You were both part of Shield? How did the Americans even accept you with you being a UK citizen?” My dad started firing off.
I was so glad at this moment that both Natasha and I had informed dad about our job otherwise he would be freaking out to the point of heart attack with the news on TV.
“Basically, evil people came in, we kicked them out.” I simplified for my dad which earned a silent chuckle from Natasha beside me.
“’Basically’ my ass! Everything about Nat is online. You never told me she was a trained assassin?” Dad questioned me. Natasha’s face turned a bit sad hearing that.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
“What part of working in secret services did you not understand dad? We don’t exactly go offer people comfort in return for world peace. Our job is to do stuff like that.” I told him seeing Natasha look partly upset.
Before my dad could say anything more my mum grabbed the phone from his hands. “Don’t worry about him. He is just panicking with all the stuff on TV and with how my parents kept raging at him.” My mum told me.
“They found out as well?” I asked her in annoyance along with gaining a worried look from Nat.
“Remember that bitch of a cousin of mine?" My mum asked me causing me to remember my childhood where my grandparents often told my mum off for not inviting her cousin.
"Yeah?"
"That bitch called them up to ask them if it really was Natasha on the TV, then the rest is history. Be prepared for their calls soon.” My mum warned me.
“Give her the phone if she is nearby.” I gave the reluctant Nat the phone.
“Hi, mom.” Natasha took the phone worriedly. My parents had told Nat to call them mum and dad after our marriage as both didn’t want her to experience what my dad had to experience.
“Don’t worry about what Rob said or what my parents are going to say. They are just worried about you and David. Okay, Nat?” My mum asked Natasha.
“Yes, mum,” Natasha replied.
“Anyway, how are you coping with everything, Nat?” My mum asked her.
“Everything is going ok so far. David and I are going for a short holiday for a while until things cool off.” Natasha told my mum.
“That’s good. Make sure to come and visit us.” My mum told her to which she replied affirmatively.
After a while of casual talking which cheered Nat up, she passed the phone to me.
“Take good care of her. If she sounds in any way upset, I will lace your mango juice with alcohol whenever you come here.” My mum warned me seriously.
“Yes, mam.” I saluted which earned a giggle from Nat.
“The only one happy about all this is your brother. Something about having a sister in law along with his brother who are secret agents is something for him to brag about. I do not know what goes through his head sometimes." My mum complained while I laughed.
"Also, I nearly forgot, we also had few calls from MI5 come to ask about Nat and you just an hour ago. Is that something to be worried about?”
'Crap. Completely forgot about the Uk goverment.'
“Yeah, I will deal with them. I forgot about them.” I told mum.
“Anyway, get ready for my parents. Bye.” Saying that she hung up.
Nat and I looked at each other before we started laughing.
“You want to talk to my grandparents?” I asked her to which she quickly shook her head.
“It won’t be pleasant.” She warned me, making me look at her in confusion.
"What do you mean? They are pretty chill people. They will calm down once I explain everything to them." I noticed the awkward smile on Nat's face.
"Is something the matter?" I asked her to which she shook her head.
"No, I am just not sure everything would be as easy as it was with your parents." I was confused by Nat's judgement. She usually didn't make a wrong judge of character, but this was my grandparents. I knew about them more than she did.
"Don't worry it will be fine. I am right beside you, aren't I?" I asked Nat.
Nat smiled as she nodded.
We changed from our formal wear to something casual before I laid down on the bed.
Nat came and laid beside me, with her head on my chest.
"Ready?" I asked Nat.
"I am always ready with you, by my side." I smiled hearing her response, as I rapidly prepared for all the questions my grandparents could throw at me before I called them.
*Beep* Dialling I waited for them to answer.
[20 minutes later]
"AHHH!" I threw the phone across the room in anger as Natasha looked to be pretty calm. But I knew if she were a normal woman who could not control her emotions so well, she would be in tears by now.
“David, please…” She placed her hands on my shoulder as she soothed me gently.
“I know.” I calmed down a lot just from hearing her voice.
My grandparents were absolutely brutal towards her. I would have nearly lost it if I hadn’t employed my calm mind.
I walked forward and took my phone from the floor before forwarding the conversation I just had with my grandparent to mum. She will deal with them.
