Unexpected Company
To say that she was uncomfortable would be a huge understatement. Natasha was huge, clumsy, and very awkward. With two weeks left in this pregnancy, she just wanted it to be over already. Knowing her luck, this kid would be late prolonging her discomfort.

Currently she was stretched out on the couch with her feet up. Her ankles were swollen and achy and her back had been hurting almost non-stop. All of it just helped to make her cranky, which is probably why Tony was down in the lab. There had been a lot of growling and grumbling this morning and her husband had retreated out of the line of fire. Natasha was enjoying the last few moments of quiet she would get in a very long time.

That quiet was about to be interrupted by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Natasha sighed and slid off the edge of the couch, carefully getting to her feet. It had to be someone they knew since not just anyone could get up here.

She opened the door was a little surprised to see who was standing there.

"Nick?"

That got him A Look. "How about a 'Hi Natasha, it's good to see you. You're looking great. How's the pregnancy going?" or are we ignoring manners today?"

"I suppose it will do," she said as she stepped out of the doorway to let him enter. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit? The answer is no if you're here to see about me coming back to work after the baby is born."

She eyed him warily. "He's in the lab. What's this about? Does this have anything to do with the attack at Xavier's?"

"Mebbe," Nick answered. "Looks like the robots were Stark designs."

"Great," she sighed. Natasha knew another famous Tony and Nick argument was coming. "I'll take you down to the lab."

"You have company," Tasha said to her husband as they entered the lab. "I'll leave you two boys to talk." She left, getting out of the line of fire.

Oh great. Not only did Fury show up to "talk", but Tasha was getting the hell out of dodge. Those two signs combined told him that he wasn't going to like what Fury had to say.

"In case you're here to ask Tasha if she's coming back to work after /Eddie/ is born, the answer is no, Fury." Tony says.

"She already said no," Nick said. "You just make sure you take care of /my/ Widow an' I'll try t' forget ya stole her from me."

Nick took a moment to light the cigar he had in his mouth. Now that Tasha was gone, he could smoke.

"I'm here t' see you."

"/Stealing/ is such an ugly term, Nick. I prefer to think of it is as, 'seducing her away'." Tony says, continuing to work on his designs.

"Or 'borrowing without intent to return'. In fact, I like that one a hell of a lot better. Now, since we both know that you don't socialize until Valentina forces you into a suit, you can get to the part about why you're here.

You know, instead of making me guess." Tony finishes.

"I don't care what you like. I say ya stole her an' that's what ya did."

Nick tossed him a small handheld computer. "What the hell are ya doin', Stark? A bunch of yer robots just attacked the kids out at Xavier's, includin' my godson. Not t' mention a shelter here in the city."

Tony looks at the datapad with a sigh, certain that Fury's taking the roundabout way of asking for his help on something and...suddenly his attention is focused on the datapad.

The robots in the report are definitely Stark designed. Those were the new combat drones he intended to talk to the Joint Chiefs about once he got the upgrades finished. Except, it seemed that someone had just gotten the work done for him and released them against Xavier's.

Tony checks the time and date on the attack and the information. This was within the last week.

"Fury, be serious. My best friend's daughter is a mutant as is one of my stepsons, who you know damn well makes his home at Xavier's. These drones were not activated by me /or/ even authorized to be constructed." Tony says, a sinking feeling in his stomach. Once again, someone had taken his work and was using it for their own ends.

The sinking feeling became a rock when he realized that the designs in question had begun development when Maggie was still in control of the company.

"Damnit. All right, Fury. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'll take it from here." Tony says.

"Negative, Fury. I said I'll handle it. You bring in S.H.I.E.L.D. and you're only going to make it worse. Not to mention that Natasha is going to want in as soon as she hears about it. I don't want her under that kind of stress." Tony says.

"These are my designs and I'm sure I know who did this. I'm going to handle this so that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't get any funny ideas about 'borrowing' my work without going through the correct channels." Tony says.

"These is my work and my mess to clean up. I haven't failed to do that yet, Fury. I don't tell you how to run your organization, so don't feel as though you need to help me run Stark or get involved in this. I've got people who can take care of it." he finishes.

After Nick left, Tony went upstairs to check on the Pregnant One.

"Do you want some tea, honey?" Tony asks.

"Oh, you know Nick. He had his own two cents on the baby's name and I told him we didn't want to hear it." Tony smiles, kissing his wife. He is not going to tell her what's going on because she is two weeks away from having the baby and doesn't need anything to worry about.

Or worse yet, a reason to come out of retirement.

"Now, did you want your favorite tea or do you want some raspberry this time? Eddie loves raspberry, I bet." Tony smiles.

"Anthony, Nick told me about the drone attack and they were Stark designs." Not to mention Logan had already called about the attack right after it happened. "Now are you going to tell me or do I have to do my own snooping around?"

Tony sighs irritably. Thanks, Nick.

"Look, I'm going to handle this. I may need to go to Los Angeles and talk to Sydney and Andy about Maggie's little stunt, but this isn't going to stand. I don't want to call Anya in on this, but Misha's stealth armor is going to pay some dividends.

I think Justin will also be interested in helping out with this. We'll figure out where Maggie's got the information, who's helping her and shut them all down. And if I happen to send her to the poorhouse in the equation, I'm okay with that, too." Tony says.

"Maggie's behind this? You should have let me take care of her months ago," Natasha grumbled. "Still might after the baby's born. They'll never find the body."

She sighed. The family didn't need this right now.

"If this is all armor related stuff, you should bring Anya in on it. She has years of experience with armor on Misha and knows the tech."

Tony shakes his head. "I don't want to put anything else on Anya's plate right now. She's still upset about Steve and I'm not sure she can focus at the moment." Tony says.

Not to mention, he does not want his daughter anywhere near Maggie. She'd hurt Anya to get to him and he wouldn't take that chance.

"I'll armor up myself for this one. She stole my designs, I'll take them back from her." Tony says.

"Tony, she needs to stay busy especially when something's upsetting her. She's a lot like both of us in that regards. Not to mention she's leading her own team and she has them at her back if she needs them."

A few years ago the argument was reversed. Tony supporting Anya using a suit and Natasha wanting to keep her out of the life. Life sure was weird.

"Not to mention she also has Toni Rhodes at her back. I just think taking care of this will be a lot more effective and easier with Anya in on it."

A pause.

"Not to mention she'll never forgive you if you do this with Misha and Justin and without her."
