After an hour of arguments (mainly from Tony) the Avengers all gave up and agreed to take in the two little girls. By that time however they had both fallen asleep, leaning against each other in the corner of the room. With one final stiff nod Director Fury left the lab with Jamelah following after.
"Right I've just got off the phone with Pepper and she is delighted to say the least." Tony said, putting his phone away. "And she's instantly got two rooms ready, on the same floor. She said that when they are settled they can decorate their own rooms and pick what furniture they want, they have simple beds for now."
"Wow she really went all out." Natasha nodded as Steve carefully picked up Bethany and Clint grabbed the sleeping blonde.
"She's always wanted kids but I've never been ready." Tony replied, leading everyone to his private jet that was waiting. "And I still don't feel ready."
"Don't worry I'm sure you'll be fine, non of us are exactly experienced." Bruce assured the billionaire with a smile.
"They're going to have to sit on people's laps." Clint said suddenly, "They aren't exactly going to be safe on a jet."
"Just lie them together on one of the benches, they'll be fine I'm sure." Tony waved off.
"Are you sure Stark?" Steve asked, concern lacing his voice.
"As long as someone's watching them they'll be fine I'm sure." Tony shrugged.
"No wonder you don't have kids, you'd kill them!" Natasha yelled as they walked onto the jet. The sudden shout jolted Deanna out of her sleep, her blue eyes still looking sleepy.
"Go back to sleep." Clint cooed gently as he lay her next to Bethany. However, the blonde shook her head and sat back up, rubbing her eyes with the backs of her hands. Carefully Deanna slid off the bench she was placed on and walked over to Natasha, who was chatting quietly with Bruce.
"Что все ваши имена?" Deanna asked with a small yawn. "Я только что понял, что мы не научились их" Natasha looked down at the blonde just as Bethany awoke from her small nap with a yawn.
"Вы говорите на русском языке" Natasha noted with a smile.
"Yeah she often dies when she's tired, the language changes all the time." Bethany explained. "I didn't know you could speak Russian."
"She is Russian." Clint explained.
"Ну, я Наташу. Он Брюса, что Тони, что Стив и это Клинт" Natasha explained, pointing at each man in turn.
"Yeah I didn't catch that, I can't speak Russian." Beth spoke up.
"I'm Steve, that's Tony, Clint, Bruce and Natasha." Steve explained to the taller child, again pointing at each person in turn.
"Oh okay," Bethany nodded. "Oh look the Avengers tower."
"Where?" Deanna asked, pulling away fri the red head and joining Bethany at the window. They both gasped and squealed at the sight of the tall building, mumbling to one another about what they could see.
"Girls!" Tony called, causing the children to turn to him. "When we get there your going to meet Pepper Potts my-"
"Girlfriend?" Both girls guessed together, causing the billionaire to stutter and blush.
"How did you even know that?" Steve asked.
"I can understand all emotions. He was talking in a way that made him sound proud of her and like he wanted to show her off." Bethany explained.
"For me it was more to do with the fact that I know the look a man gets in his eyes when he's talking about his partner." Deanna shrugged.
"How?" Natasha asked.
"It's the same the other way around." Bethany explained. "A woman with a certain look when she's talking about her man. It's called the science of deduction, I taught her but Deanna focuses more on the relationship side of it, while I just focus on the bigger picture."
With confused glances to one another the team lead the girls out onto the roof of The Avengers tower, where they were met with "Hi! I'm Pepper, you must be Bethany and Deanna!"
