Hopelessly devoted to you

Part 3

"Natasha are you ready yet" Tony shouted from the end of the steps

"Go on ahead. Maria's gonna give me a ride" she shouted back

Tony rolled his eyes "okay, see you at school" he said before walking out the front door

As Tony arrived at school he saw the guys and walked up to them before combing his hair back.

"Hey guys" he greeted

"Hey Tony. Where's your sister" Rhodes asked

"Maria's picking her up from the house" Tony replied with a shrug

Rhodes nodded in understanding

Then the bell rang. Tony made his way to home room only to notice that Natasha wasn't there. He brushed it off thinking that maybe she was late but when the class ended Tony started to get worried. For the past couple of hours he couldn't help but worry about her, she wasn't in home room. He hasn't seen her in the hallway not only that but Maria was no where to be found either. As the lunch bell rang Tony quickly ran to the cafeteria, hoping she'd be there.

"Have you seen Natasha" he asked the guys worriedly as he sat down at their table

They all shook there head's

Tony sighed and was about to say something when Sharon came up to their table.

'Here we go' Tony thought to himself as he rolled his eyes internally

Sharon threw a pink ladies jacket at Tony and he gave her a confused look in return.

"This better be a joke, Tony" she said sternly as she crossed her arms over her chest

Tony continued to stare at her in confusion. He honestly has no idea what was going on here.

"Your sister just quit the pink ladies" she paused for a moment "and she put Pepper in charge" she stated as she pointed towards the strawberry blonde

Tony had to admit he was furious. Why would Natasha quit the pink ladies? When did she? As far as he knew she hadn't been at school all day.

"Are you sure" he asked

Sharon rolled her eyes like it was obvious that she did and handed Tony a note that Natasha wrote.

Dear pepper,

It's Natasha, I just wanted to say thank you for always being there for me, for being my friend. But I can't be a pink lady any more, it's not who I am. Here's my jacket I'm leaving the pink ladies too you.

                                                  Love Natasha

Tony was about to say something when the cafeteria doors flung open.

Everyone's attention was glued to the cafeteria doors as they flung open. Steve looked to see what was going on and there she stood, the beautiful red head, eyes emerald green, she was accompanied by two guys one tall, of darker skin the other short with brunette hair they were also accompanied by a tall brunette lady. At that moment Tony got up from his chair a look of confusion, worry and anger on his face as he did so.

"What the hell are you doing? Hanging out with a bunch of sox's" he asked angrily  emphasizing on the word sox's

She smirked and looked at both sides of the room

"There not sox's... There my friends" she stated in a matter of factly tone emphasizing the word friends

Which earned confused looks from both the sox's and the greasers.

She smirked before she got on top of one of the tables that no one was sitting at. "Am I the only one who remembers a time when there were no 'sox'" she asked pointing to the Sox side of the room, before she continued "and no greaser's" she added pointing to the greasers side of the room, she sighed "if I have to pick a side, I chose...the in-between" she stated as everyone looked at her confused "I'm starting my own side, a side where greasers and sox's, can live in peace, a side where we can be friends...a side where money doesn't matter...and you are free to join if you'd like there's plenty of room" she stated before getting down from the table

After that everyone started to talk and gossip about the red head and the new side she was adding.

"You know you just made us enemies" Tony stated as he grabbed Natasha's wrist

"I know" was all she said before her and her friends walked away

As she was walking away Steve noticed that her sleeve said, black widow in bold letters and on the back of the leather jacket there was a giant black widow spider. The guys on the other hand wore a simple black leather jacket. Steve then turned his attention to Sam and Bucky.

"I gotta admit...girls got gut's" he said

Sam and Bucky nodded in agreement

"Do you guys know who those three people that were with her are" Steve asked curiously

"The tall brunette lady, her names Maria, she's a greaser or used to be. The tall darker skinned guy, his name's T'challa, he also was a greaser" Bucky replied with a shrug

"And the other guy" he asked with furrowed eyebrows

"Clint Barton, him and Natasha we're best friends for years before Tony threatened him. They still hung out, but they kept it on the down low" Sam replied in a matter of factly tone

Steve nodded in understanding

Now that phase one of Natasha's plan is done it's time too put phase two into action.

"So what's next" Clint asked as they hopped in his car

Natasha smirked "recruiting"

He looked over at Natasha with his eyebrows furrowed in curiosity

"You'll find out soon enough" she said with a smirk

"What if no one else wants to join" Maria asked

Natasha rolled her eyes 'always the pessimistic one' she thought to herself. Before Natasha could say anything she was interrupted

"Trust me they'll want to join" T'challa said in a matter of factly tone

As they got to Natasha's house they went up to her room. Natasha's parents weren't there so they didn't have to sneak in. They then started going through all the students that attended Shield high school trying to decide who could join and who probably wouldn't be the best fit. After over three hours of going through the papers they were down to their last three students.

"Okay so I got James Buchanan Barnes" Maria started

"He's the one that always sits with the blonde and the other guy, right" Natasha asked interrupting her

"Um, yeah" Maria replied "why"

"Recruit him and the other two as well" was all Natasha said

Maria nodded "if you say so" she then put the last three papers in the recruited bin

After T'challa and Maria left, Clint turned to look at Natasha giving her a knowing look. 'Oh, no, does he knows' she thought to herself.

"What" Natasha asked trying to sound confused

Clint rolled his eyes "you have a crush on Steve don't you"

"Steve" she asked with furrowed eyebrows

"The blonde you were talking about" he replied

'Steve, Steve is his name, what a good name just rolls off the tongue' she thought."I don't know what your talking about" she stated as she got out of her thoughts

"Sure, you don't" Clint replied sarcastically with a smirk

Natasha just rolled her eyes and walked him to the front door.

"Have a good night. Drive safe" she said

"I will mom" he said sarcastically before giving her a hug and leaving
