This Is the Sweet Spot Of Your Life
"I should have known you wouldn't sleep much," Natasha said in Russian as she walked around the living room with Nick against a shoulder. "Your brother and sister didn't sleep much either." Her voice was barely above a whisper as she spoke to her son. The child didn't know what sleep meant, but it just proved that he was a Stark and a Romanov.

Natasha stopped walking for a moment and took a quick peak to see if Nick was sleeping. His eyes were closed and a thumb was shoved in his mouth. Finally! She had been walking the living room for the past hour trying to get him back to sleep. It was three in the morning and Natasha wanted to be snuggled up next to her husband and asleep.

Five more minutes and then she can put him down and go to bed.

	"What if I take you shopping in Paris, then we go up to the cabin in Russia? You can buy all kinds of beautiful dresses, then model them for me at the cabin? And if we get to cold, the fashion show can be put on hold." Tony says. "What do you think?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha smiled at her husband. "That sounds like a plan. My husband is a genius. Where were you thinking about sending our daughter and our son-in-law?" Natasha stood up and wrapped her arms around her husband. She put her head on his shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wherever they like. I'm sure they've got a place or two in mind they'd love to see." Tony says, reaching back to play with Tasha's hair. "Someone is going to have to watch Eddie for us while we're gone." tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha smiled and dropped a kiss on his neck. "I can ask Monica if she and Rhodey will watch him. Or I could ask Sue." "What should we do for James?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, I decided for Anya. You should think of something for James. Can you think of anything he's mentioned recently?" Tony asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really," she answered. "With him it's either Elvis or video games. The kid is impossible to shop for. I know he doesn't need any clothes right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I say we get him a shopping spree at some place that has tons of video games. See how fast he can grab stuff in sixty seconds." Tony suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll think of something," she said. Now that the light stuff was over it was time for something a little more serious. "I got a call from Fury today." She didn't say anything else. She wanted to see what his response was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who broke out now?" Tony asks without pausing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How do you know he didn't call to ask me to work?" she asked. He didn't, but she didn't want him to think he was always right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'd be more nervous about bringing it up." Tony says. "So...who escaped and how much do we need to be worried?" Tony asks, holding her closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You think you know me so well," she said as she sought the warmth he offered. "Someone broke into the hospital where SHIELD was holding Alexi. It was people from within the Winter Guard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony sighs, placing his hand to his forehead. "We should have killed him, Natasha. I bet Irina helped him. We need to lean on her and make her tell us where they took him." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Irina wasn't there. She was in New Orleans with her team." Maybe he was right. Maybe they should have killed her ex-husband when they had the chance. "It was someone else from within the Winter Guard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I still think Irina knows." Tony grumbles. "What are you think, Tasha? How do you want to handle this?" Tony asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't think she does, but we can talk to you. Talk, Anthony, not interrogate her." "I don't know. Things dealing with Alexi are always complicated. There are times when I wish the man would just stay dead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"If you don't want me to interrogate her, then maybe you should talk to her. I'm not inclined to be polite." Tony says.

He just can't get over that Irina is Alexei's daughter and that she's had such close contact with so many people in Tony's life. What if he decided to lean on her to try to get her to do something?

"If I ever see him again, he's going to stay dead, Tasha. That's all I'm going to say about it."

	"I will talk to her," Natasha said. "I'll also talk to Alpha Flight. They were the ones who intercepted the Winter Guard. From what I've gathered they were sent to retrieve Alexi and return him to Russia." She looked her husband in the eye and then nodded. "I understand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha shook her head. "No. They're all fine. They're working with the Winter Guard to find the traitors and Alexi. And who's behind this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Do you think the Russians might have wanted to deal with Alexi themselves, since he went way off their script? Isn't that what you spy types do when someone tries to leave the 'the business'?" Tony asks.

"You know, I joked to Fury once that espionage didn't seem all that different from organized crime. I think I heard his teeth grinding from the helicarrier." Tony chuckles.

	"It's the only reason why the Winter Guard would be sent in, but the question is who ordered it. Was it an official government sanction, or is someone dealing in the shadows?" Natasha didn't want to tell him that the only way spies left the business was in body bags. The only way a person stopped being a spy was to die. "That sounds like Fury."

	"I wish I knew the answer to that one. But hey...you're the Tsarina, right? Can't you /make/ them tell you who was behind this?" Tony asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't like feeling helpless, Tasha, which is exactly how I feel right now. It's just one thing after another. Has Fury given you any word on Temujin yet?" Tony asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
