Charlie Fury, a child adopted from India as a toddler, was brought up in New York by the infamous Nick Fury. She is used to hustle and bustle of the city around her and knows all there is to know about life. She has everything figured out and planne...
I rolled onto the mat to avoid Natasha. She lunged for me and I met her halfway, grabbing her arms. When I swept her legs from under her, she pulled me with her. We rolled around and Natasha pinned me to the ground.
"What next?" Natasha asked.
I faked a move and pushed her off with a leg. I got up and pinned her to the ground, pressing against her neck with a knee.
"Tap out, tap out," I growled.
Natasha struggled but eventually tapped my leg. I got up and helped her up.
She shook my hand. "Good job, Charlie. You're learning very well."
"Thanks," I said. "I have the best teaching me."
Natasha grinned. "Thanks. Let's call it good for now. We have to get ready for that party."
I rolled my eyes as I took off my gloves. "Don't remind me. I still haven't chosen my outfit yet."
"It's a good thing you have me," Natasha said as we started walking out of the training area. "I'll get your outfit as you take your shower."
"Don't choose anything too flashy," I said.
Natasha gave me a look. "I wouldn't do that to you. I know your style."
I shook my head and followed her to my room. I had a bathroom connected to my room so I didn't have to go very far. I went in there and took a quick shower. When I got out, I brushed out my hair, braided it, and returned to my room.
Natasha glanced over her shoulder at me. "I chose you some outfits. Come look."
I got to her side. She had chosen a few different things for me to wear. They were pretty and definitely a way to show off in front of Rhodey.
My fingers traced down a pair of ripped jeans. "I want this one. I know how much Rhodey likes old school rock and roll."
Nat smiled. "Good choice. I'll go grab my clothes while you change."
Nat left as I took off my shirt. I tossed my clothes aside before changing. After I was done I tied a red flannel around my waist. Sitting at my vanity, I started doing my make up. I did very little as I didn't feel like it.

Nat came in as I put on a pair of glasses. She was wearing a jumpsuit with her hair curled slightly.
Natasha came up behind me and placed her hands on the seat behind me. "You rock that perfectly, Charlie."
I laughed. "Funny. Is it almost time?"
Natasha nodded. "Yeah. It starts in forty minutes I believe."
"Then Rhodey should be here somewhat soon," I said. "I wonder when he's going to be here and what he'll be wearing."
Before Natasha could answer, there was a knock on the door. I got up to answer it and found Rhodey standing there in a suit.
