Sorry, Sir- Wrong Number

||Chapter Twenty One||

She did it. She now knew who smarty was. I means she's a super spy obviously she was going to be the first one to find out. The fact that she found out by accident though was not what any of the team expected.

Let me give you some context. This happened about an hour earlier.

Nat had decided to take a look down in the internship labs to take a closer look at the possible mini starks. However, when she got there the lab was empty except for one boy in the back corner asleep on his desk. As she got closer she noticed the purple and blue eye he was sporting but there was no doubt about it, this was peter parker, one of Stark possible mystery kids.

"Shouldn't you be working" she asked in a loud voice as the kid jumped three feet in the air. She had to refrain from laughing at the first scared, then shocked and now bewildered look on the kids face. obviously though she is a spy and managed to keep a straight face. "i asked you a question didn't I?"

"Miss Black Widow I'm sorry I was just really tired I'm on a break now so i thoughted I'd get a quick power nap, I'm sorry Miss Natasha, Miss" The kids rambling was kind of adorable. If this was starks kid then they were in luck.

"Maybe tell me what your working on and then I'll consider forgiving you" Nat carefully stated. Maybe if she could gaige how smart he was she could figure out how likely he is to be stark's kid. Surely he'll be realitivly smart.

"Well I call him DAVE. I wanna make it an acronym for his name but I don't know what yet. Anyway the idea is that dave can take the form of an anamal. Any animal really. Dog, cat, bird even a snake. It all because its built entirely out of nano bots which and all connected. These would help people as support pets. They could help people who are blind or deaf or depressed or anxious or lonely or"

"okay kid, I get it they would help a lot of people"

"Exactly but unlike actual animals they don't need caring for. This means that people who may find it hard to look after something can still have the benifit of having a pet to love and help them."

This kid was adorable. Nat couldn't believe what she heard. Of all the different ways to help someone this was an incredibly creative and sweet one.

"It also has a feature built in that detects when there is a spider or other insect in the room and it catches it and stores it until it can be released outside. I kinda stole that idea from my friend Mr Kid but...."

Nat stopped listening. How could she continue when he said something so simple. So simple and yet it rocked her world. She'd found him. Without even trying. Tony was gonna be pissed off that he wasn't the first to meet him but oh well. Suck on that Mr I'm the best.

But in all seriousness Nat was having a hard time prosessing this.

Then it hit her. This was one of the kids that could be stark's. Surely, 2 out of the 3 people she was searching for could be the same person. Right? Surely they couldn't have been talking to Stark's son without even realising it.

"Um Miss Romanoff, Black Widow, Ma'am? Are you okay?" Smarty asked. No. Peter asked. His big doe eyes filed with worry as he looked at the slightly shocked expression of the super spy.

"yes, I'm fine thank you Peter" she replied honestly. "this sounds like an amazing project."

"Thank you ma'am. Um there's lots more but um thanks for listening to so much. And I'm sorry for rambling about my friends."

"It's okay Ребенок паук. It was interesting."

"Was that Russian?" Peter almost shouted with excitement, "My friend agent speaks Russian as well. Its so cool!"

A strange and stupid idea then poped into natashas head. It was reckless. It would backfire. And it would piss of the team.

"I know a cute little quiet cafe down the road. If you stop calling me Ma'am, I'll take you down there for the rest of your break and teach you some Russian. What do you say?"

Do you remeber that moment in Mary Poppins when she sits on the banister and glides up it? Do you remeber Michael's face when she did it? Well that's what Peter looked like as he realised that the black widow just asked if he wanted to learn Russian from her.

"ummm" he stuttered, compelatly gobsmacked "yes please".

And with that Natasha walked with her Smarty following along behind like a lost puppy. By this point he had managed to get a grip and had closed his mouth. After all, he was not a cod fish.
