Enter stage right: The Lady Devil
She screamed as her body fell through the portal. Being forcibly torn from one place into another hurt and as she landed painfully on an open wound she cursed the wizard they had been fighting. She moved to jump back through to go after him but nothing was there to jump through.

The young hero looked around to see if any of her friends were here too and found she was alone on a roof top. She looked out across the city and felt her pulse pick up and her gut drop. Things looked wrong. Elizaveta was scared and decided the only thing she could do was go seek out the Avengers. They could help her.

It hurt to move but she did leaping and using a swing line to carry herself from roof top to roof top on her way to the Mansion.

When she landed and knocked since walking in was a big no-no even in broad day-light.

"I'll get it," Natasha told Jarvis as she left the kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand. Anya and James were at school, Tony was at the office and she had been spending her days at the Mansion. There was always Avenger related stuff do to and it was enough to keep her busy and from wanting to go back to spying.

She gulped coffee down as she made her way to the front door. The day had started way too early as always.

When she reached the front door she hit the intercom button. "Who is it and please state your business."

Ever had an oh shit moment? This is exactly what Lady Devil is having right now. It's her mother! Only not. This wasn't something she was ready to deal with.

At first she has no idea how to deal with this but then decides to slough on. "Lady Devil. I...appear to have been dimensionally displaced during a very recent fight." The Baxter building was STILL around after all but no need to freak out over that.

	So it was going to be one of those days. Natasha opened the door and opened the gate. She finished off the rest of her coffee and wished it was vodka. "Come in," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With the uniform? She looks like she's Matt's kid with the sleek read and the devil horns. She doesn't really move like him though and her uniform is beaten up with scorch marks along both arms. Eliza will be happy though that she herself didn't get burned but she'll still be sore latter. She goes in and does her very best to not squirm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-18 09:29 am UTC (link)
	First things first. "Are you injured? Do you need medical attention?" Not going to react to her uniform looking very similar to Matt's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Probably? When the rift spit me ut I was pretty much hurting all over so I couldn't really assess my own injuries," she says with a controlled shrug. She remembers a knife getting too close for comfort while they were trying to break the circle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Medlab then," Natasha said. "Come with me please," she said. "What is your name?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-05-18 09:39 am UTC (link)
	"Elizaveta Romanov," it was best to drop the 'hi Mom' bomb early on she decided rather than dance around it. Besides the fact she still hurt and didn't care to beat around the bushes. This was her sort-of Mother so it's best to get to the heart of things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha stopped mid-stride. It was definitely one of those days and no vodka in sight. "I see," she finally said after a very long minute of silence. Good thing James had already given her some practice with this. "Would I be wrong to guess that given your codename that Matt Murdock is your father?" Definitely needed that vodka now.

	Eliza gives Tasha a look but nods since getting upset really won't help. "Yes. Yes he is. Are...you going to call his counter part here?" She's not sure how she feels about that. "I'm going to hazard a guess that you're..um. Not together here." Which is really weird for her to say. She doesn't like thinking of her parents not being together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Natasha sighed. "We are not together here and have not been together for a very long time. He is married and has a son. I am married as well and I have two sons and a daughter."

A brief pause.

"You will find many things are different here and it can be difficult to adjust. I will try to make things as easy as possible for you and will do anything I can to help you adjust."

	She's not going to get too upset about them not being together. She had guessed they might not be. "The first thing that clued me in was the Baxter building being here...Things are odd." She gulps a little. "I don't think they make guide books for this sort of thing. Brothers. And a sister. That's pretty wild." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I can imagine. James, my son, like you, is dimensionally challenged and it took him awhile to adjust to the differences. He did adjust and has become a part of the family. There's no expectations, but you have family if you want it." Now that the sudden shock was wearing off, Natasha started walking again.

"We're thinking about putting a guidebook together. In the past year we've had at least two dimensionally challenged kids show up."

And here they've always joked about this kind of thing being an X-Men kind of thing.

"Well maybe you should talk to the X-Men? Back home they're the only ones that have this kind of problem." She glances at Tasha and nods.

"I'd like that. At least I know I have siblings here. And you're...still Mom. Just not the one who helped me drive Dad crazy when I was little." She glances over at Tasha through the lenses in her mask as they're about to enter medical.

"We used to joke about them being the ones with this problem until it started happening to us."

The door the medlab slid open and Natasha waited for Eliza to go first.

"Driving Matt Murdock crazy was a specialty of mine. Now I save those talents for my husband and kids."

A pause and a thought popped into her mind. Oh this was not going to be fun.

"Speaking of family, I can contact this world's Matthew Murdock if you want to see him. He lives in San Francisco with his wife." She couldn't wait to make that phone call. "Your brother, Jack, is currently here in New York."

She doesn't want to laugh at it. But it's still true the X-Men go through this on her world more often.

"Well I'd have to ask what you did with this world's Black Widow otherwise," she says in a fairly serious tone. Moms should drive their families crazy. It's a rule.

"I'd like to." She has a hard time picturing how different things are. Seeing her counter part Dad might help. "I'll miss mine though. It won't be the same but...I want to meet him."

She really misses her Mom too.

	redheadspy 2009-05-18 10:43 am UTC (link)
	Natasha nodded. "I will call him." Though knowing Matt he may just take it as her trying to pull one over on him. "You are welcome to stay here with the Avengers if you like. You're also welcome to stay at the condo with Tony, me, Anya and James." If telling Matt was going to be hard, telling the kids may just be harder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-05-18 10:48 am UTC (link)
	She pulls her hood back while giving it some thought. She wanted to be comfortable somewhere and around somewhat familiar things but she had rarely stayed here back home. "I'd like to go back with you. I'm not used to staying at the Mansion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-18 10:56 am UTC (link)
	Natasha nodded. She looked at the girl. Natasha could see some of Matt in her features as well as some of the same ones she saw in Anya's face. "No problem. I'll go get Doc Kincaid so he can take a look at you and go make some phone calls." She gave the girl a small reassuring smile. "I'll be back. Promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-05-18 11:10 am UTC (link)
	"Sure," she agrees while stepping over to see the doctor. She trusts her mother's counter part to do what she says. Her mother has never made it a habit of fibbing to her and right now it's easy to trust Tasha. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-18 11:12 am UTC (link)
	Natasha left to go make phone calls and steal a bottle of vodka from her daughter's, Anya's, room. She was going to need the liquid courage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-05-19 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Eliza meanwhile will get treated. The pains that were more than the searing pain of magic hurting her as she passed through the dimensional rift get treated. She'll have to take it easy for a while but she should be fine. She's just happy that there are no broken bones. Just some cuts and nasty bruises to go along with the sore nerves. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	redheadspy 2009-05-18 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Natasha took a deep breath and dialed Matt's number. This was going to go over like a ton of bricks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Jack is fine," she assured him. That would most likely be his first thought as to why she was calling. He knows she wouldn't be calling unless it was serious. "Something came up and...I don't even know how to put this." A pause. "We have a daughter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The slight sound of relief is soon replaced by the silence of utter confusion.
It's not a joke. There are certain kinds of improbable you have to eliminate before you eliminate the impossible.

Eventually -- quite eventually ...

"...The initial reaction, Natasha, is that if this issue was going to 'come up' suddenly, it should have happened two decades ago, but I'm...sure it's more complicated than that. What...what exactly happened? And what's her name?"

"Of course it's complicated," she said. "Complicated is a part of this life." Well maybe not for him anymore. She didn't think he donned the red pajamas much anymore. "She's from another dimension. There she's our kid. I honestly can't say I'm not surprised seeing how this has already happened to me once this past year already."

She's babbling. Sure sign that she's not entirely comfortable with this.

"She's far from home and could really use a few familiar faces around to help her adjust."

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-19 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh. Parallel worlds have ....never really been my forte." Matt deeply, deeply feels that he's the wrong man in red-tinted shades to be getting phone calls about alternate-dimension children. "I'll get the next flight out. What's her name and how old is she?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-19 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	"It wasn't mine until this past year," she admitted. "We used to joke that this was an X-Men thing." She sighed. "Her name is Elizaveta Romanova. She looks to be about seventeen or eighteen. Her codename is Lady Devil." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-19 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Heh. Yeah. Can't be helped, though. Family a world removed is still family." "All right." Good to know they didn't have a frightened eight-year-old on their hands. "I'll be flying out as soon as I talk to Elektra." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-19 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	"You're right. Family is family no matter where they're from. I have another son that proves that." She smiled. "I don't envy you, Matthew." Natasha still had to tell Tony, but Tony was a lot more reasonable than Elektra was. "This will go over like a ton of bricks. Have a safe a trip." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now for the next call. Though this one could be fun. She dialed Tony's cell. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	When she's vague there's a problem. There's also something about her tone. "The trans-dimensional stork at work again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's here at the mansion. Hank's seeing to her right now because she came in a little beat up. I'll have him run the standard battery of tests." A pause. "She'd rather stay with us than at the mansion. Is that okay with you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stark_inc 2009-05-20 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	"If you trust her, then, yes. I'll have the spare room ready." The the confidence shifts a little. "Is she going to be okay with me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stark_inc 2009-05-20 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Why is he not shocked? "Not exactly what I mean, but we can talk about that later." Not all of Tasha and Tony's children from wherever they are from have accepted the extended family they have with the same amount of grace. "You sound tired. Just get here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-20 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Because it had to happen in some universe. "I am tired. Tony...I love you. I know I don't say it enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stark_inc 2009-05-20 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	That brings a smile to his lips. "Now I know you're tired." There's a brief pause. "I love you too, Tasha. There's nothing to worry about right now. I'll be waiting at home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-20 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled. Second chances in life were rare and Natasha was very thankful she had gotten this one and had been smart enough to take it. "We'll be home soon. I'll stop and pick up dinner on the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)
