Waking Up
Natasha tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt like they were made of lead instead of skin. She managed to open them for a second before they fell close again. Another try and this time they remained opened for three seconds. Yet another try and she managed to keep them open for longer.

She groaned. The last things she remembered were Tony hoisting her over his shoulder and her laughing. Then pain, heat and blackness. What the hell happened? Where was she? Where was Tony?

Her eyes opened again and she blinked a few times. The brightness hurt a little and everything was a little out of focus and blurry. She blinked a few more times.

	Cousin was definitely the easiest way to address somebody when you both had the same name. There was always 'Majesty' but Misha was still too American for that to be the first thing out of his mouth. He let himself be grabbed and greeted. "We didn't expect company. Mom is all right. She's already up and moving around. Her husband is still unconscious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nobody knows anything yet about who did it. Col. Fury is playing it close if he's found out anything. The doctors say there is a good chance Stark will recover, but it's going to be a long, hard recovery." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He frowned. "I will have to speak to Col. Fury before I leave. Anthony is a strong man. He will come through this." He put his hand on Misha's shoulder. "How are you holding up? Were you and your sister attacked?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're okay. So is James. None of us were with them." He didn't mention the attack on the hydrobase. "We have another addition to the family, so don't be surprised when you see another redhead around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was a little confused now. "Your mother had another child? Why was I not informed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If Mom had another baby, there would be three wise men from the East following a star. No, it's another one like James. Elizaveta Romanova. You'll meet her soon. Come, she'll be so surprised to see you here now." He motioned with his head down the hall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see. I look forward to meeting her. It is always good to have more family." Before the past year he had no family to speak of and it made his aunt and her family even more important. He started to follow his cousin. "I'm glad no one else got hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Misha nodded. It was one thing to be grateful for in all this. No innocents were hurt. "My father is around here somewhere, too. I think he's working on Col. Fury about the car bomb now that Mom's awake." He smiled a little. Dad butting heads with Nick was always humorous.

Mom was right were he'd left her; in the chair outside the isolation window. He made enough noise not to startle a woman already on the edge. "Mom, we have company."

	Natasha blinked at the sound of her son's voice. She had been so lost in her own thoughts she hadn't really been aware of what was going on around her. "Misha?" she asked before she saw her nephew standing next to her son. She climbed to her feet. "Mikhail," she said kissed both of his cheeks. "It is good to see you."

	"And you, Natalia." His heavily accented English was pleasant and not difficult to understand. "I came as soon as it was possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You didn't have to come all this way. You have more important things to worry about." She motioned to an empty chair. "Please, sit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I sat all the way from Moscow," Mikhail said with a shake of his head. The Winter Guard were arranged around the hall at a discreet distance, but close enough to do their jobs. "Sit. Tell me what happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're telling me it was a car bomb. One minute I was laughing with Tony and the next I woke up here. We don't know if it was Tony or me who was the target." She automatically looked in the window at the mention of Tony's name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It does not matter." He put a hand on her shoulder. "An attack on you and yours is an attack on the royal family. I would insist on the Winter Guard also protecting you, but I know you have defenders of your own."

He also looked at Tony's still body through the window. "And as you know, the Winter Guard is sworn to protect and defend Mother Russia. They are also willing to overlook a tsar speaking nonsense about not needing so much protection for himself when others of his family are in danger."

There might have been a snort of suppressed humor from one of the Guard, but it was so brief it could have been Mikhail's imagination.

	Natasha managed a small smile. "We have the Avengers, both teams, around us so we are well protected. Maybe even better than you." She gave the Guard a wink. A little team rivalry was always good. "Speaking of Mother Russia, how are things? They find you a potential wife yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"They try, but I have told them all I need more than an arranged lunch to make a decision. When they give me time, I will make a choice. Perhaps Misha will marry soon and save me the trouble."

Mikhail had been briefed about his new family's differences, and his aunt had been open about the Avengers and her son's mutant status. Far from considering it all a scandal, he was peasant enough to appreciate the position of power it gave the Romanov family. The great minds and strengths as well as the various connections that came with Natalia and her children were incredible assets.

	"You're out of luck. I don't think he's going to get married anytime soon." Not that she blamed her son at all. It had taken her only 50 years to marry for the second time and Misha could afford to wait. The kid would live quite a long time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He looked confused for a moment. "I will ask the Guard if there is a healer among their ranks. There is business to be discussed with Anthony's proxy at Stark Inc. Ms. Potts has proven to be difficult to reach, although I see why now. I will also extend my stay here in New York and visit the West Coast later. An invitation for a charity event was extended to me, and to Misha I believe, at the Playboy Mansion. Of course, we will not attend at this time."

"They don't," she assured him. "Unless they have recruited new members." Yes, Tasha keeps track of these things. "Pepper hasn't been in here since the first day. She runs the company when Tony's not around. Her and James Rhodes. Let me know if you can't reach her." Of course Natasha has Pepper's private number. It was a necessity when one was Tony's wife. Pepper was his "work wife" after all.

	"If you would have her contact me, I would most appreciate it. It is not the first invitation, and it will not be the last. I may still attend the event, but Misha is needed here with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-07-12 07:48 am UTC (link)
	"Is something going on?" Natasha asked. Suspicious? You bet she was. It wasn't like Pepper to be unavailable when it came to stuff with Stark Inc. Natasha hadn't really had the time or chance to go through the daily bulletins despite being in S.H.I.E.L.D. Central. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My apologies, this is not an appropriate time to speak of it," Mikhail said slowly, realizing his mistake in mentioning it now. He thought his aunt knew, but she appeared to be unaware of the shift in Stark Inc. "The facilities Anthony established in Russia are helping our economy tremendously, and the government wishes to protect the jobs they created." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
