Natasha opened her eyes. It was morning and she was actually waking up on her own instead of to the cries of her son. It was a very rare occasion. Maybe sleeping a little extra longer was Nick's birthday preset to Tony. She turned over and was not too surprised to find her husband still in bed. So far he had been up with her each time that Nick woke her up.

"Happy birthday, my love," she said as she leaned up on an elbow and kissed his cheek. "Moose and squirrel." There. She said it. For him. For his birthday.

He wanted a job. A regular sort of job, that you could work hard at but not have to worry about much. Delivery for the plant store was perfect. Running around making sure people got what they paid for in a timely fashion. Flexible hours wouldn't interfere with helping out the Avengers or walking Kassi to and from school, and he was pretty damn qualified for getting things places fast, if he did say so himself.

Well, what do you know. Second day on the job, and he already had a really interesting one. Three Venus flytraps to Andrea Denker at the Baxter Building of all places. Not bothering to hide his ankles since he wasn't escorting Kassi, he made his way quickly there, rang the buzzer, and told the lady at the desk whom he needed to see about signing.

Symkaria’s recovery after all it had been through was well underway and there wasn’t much more Nicolai could do to help out. Overall the recovery was going smoothly and quickly which was good. The scientists were of course looking into new security upgrades and improvements to their weapons to overcome any difficulties they had come into during the attack. A lot of the research was into electromagnetic pulse technology after all the robots.

Nicolai had gone by to New York to help with running Silver Sable International. He was also looking into thing with HYDRA. What they did would not go unpunished even if it took them decades to do it. He was in his office going over files.
