So, about your little boy...
Tony watches as Reed looks Eddie over, while Hank goes over the information via satellite transmission. In his mind, he's trying to trace the steps in their procedures, but genetics isn't one of his fields. He has to trust that his friend can figure out if Eddie's current ability to walk is tied to an X-Gene or if it really is just a random beneficial quirk in the boy's genes. Eddie comes from good stock, so Tony wouldn't mind a reason to shout that from the rooftops.

"Hey, Buddy! Mommy and Daddy are right here. You havin' a good time? We'll go do something fun after this. I promise." Tony says, trying to keep Eddie's mind off everybody's staring at him.

	"Of course we do," Natasha said as she forced a small smile. "All of them are." Natasha put a little bit of vanilla ice cream on the plastic spoon and put it to Nick's mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You okay, Tasha? I know all of that couldn't be easy to hear." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine, but confused about how this could have happened," she admitted. Nick happily accepted the ice cream and smiled at the cold. "The only thing I can think of is that time Kraven grabbed me. I don't know what happened between that and waking up in S.H.I.E.L.D. medical." She looked over at him. "Did Fury tell you anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony looked a little uneasy at the question. "You never discussed it with him at all before now?" Tony asks, eating a bit of ice cream and trying to figure out what he was going to say next. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I tried. He was quite tight lipped about it," Natasha said as she put more ice cream on the spoon for Nick. She noticed the look on her husband's face. He knew something. "Did he tell you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He did says something. Now, we can't be /certain/ that this happened during that time, but the signs point to it." Tony says, taking a deep breath. "We're pretty sure Alexei was involved." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha blinked. "That's impossible. Alexi is dead." Logan killed Alexi two years ago and if Logan said he was dead, he was dead. Thought her ex-husband did have a knack for coming back from the dead. "Two years ago on March 15th to be exact." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tony sighs.

"Misha can confirm it." he says. "Alexei went after him, too. And then he pulled some crap down in New Orleans that got Lyta's team involved...and Misha came to me for help in dealing with it.

Misha wanted to tell Logan, but I knew Logan would tell you, so I made him keep it a secret. You were pregnant, and I didn't want to worry you. I was going to tell you after Eddie was born, but...we were happy and Eddie was happy and healthy and...I figured Misha and I could handle it and no one would have to know." Tony tells her, looking her in the eyes.

"I swear, I didn't do this to lie to you. I just wanted to keep you and Eddie safe."

	The temperature in the ice cream parlor dropped by twenty or thirty degrees. Her husband and son had know that her psychotic ex-husband had been alive for over a year and they had kept it from her. The Widow was not happy with either of them right now. "I see," she said in a very controlled voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This isn't on Misha. I made him keep quiet, Tasha. If you're going to be pissed at anyone, be pissed at me. He wanted to tell you, but I didn't think you'd handle it well." Tony says, noting the metaphorical chill in the ice cream parlor (fitting, that). He did not like it when she used that tone. That was the tone that came out before someone got shot.

	Natasha kept quiet and fed Nick a little more ice cream before putting the spoon down. She took a napkin and wiped her son's mouth. If she spoke now, she'd yell and the last thing she wanted to do was cause a /scene/. "I think someone has had enough," she said. "I think we should head home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right. That works. We'll all go home, we'll relax and we'll talk about this a bit more." Tony says, wiping his hands. "Here, I'll hold Eddie in the meantime." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have him," she said as she shifted him to a hip. "We have nothing to talk about except why I shouldn't shoot you." She grabbed the diaper bag and put the strap over a shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony sighs. It's going to be a very, very long day. "I stand by the choices I made, Natasha. If it comes down to protecting you and Eddie or letting you risk your life and his to go hunt down some psycho, I'm going to choose protecting you every time. I know that's not what you want to hear, but that's how I feel." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the ice cream parlor redheadspy 2011-04-20 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"Let's go, Anthony," she said. Natasha didn't want to talk about this. Not now. She was too angry at him and her eldest son to talk. Right now she wanted to shoot things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the ice cream parlor stark_ravingmad 2011-04-20 04:42 am UTC (link)
	Tony pays for their ice cream and follows Natasha out, hoping she'll have cooled off somewhat by the time they get home. They'll get through this. He just has to keep telling himself that. (Reply to this)(Parent)
