The Three Mates

A few days had passed and y/n was finally able to eat something other than soup. Scratch that, a few days had passed and Wanda was finally going to let y/n eat something other than soup. Wanda’s protective instincts were ..very strong.

Because of this, Natasha decided it was definitely time to cash in one of the favors she’d asked of her sister.

Slowly she uncurled herself from around her mates and shifted back into her human form before trying to find something to wear , something she was okay with getting rid of if it got ruined .

The widow was stopped as she was making her way to the door by an accented voice in her mind.“Detka, where are you going? Come back to bed.” 

Nat turned around to the wolfy pile on the bed and smiled at the sight and smell of their mingled scents. today after lunch and a movie they had crawled into bed for a nap because y/n was exhausting easily. It was now after three p.m and she had somewhere to be but that didn’t stop her from admiring her mates before her.  “I’ve got something important to do before dinner tonight. Stay here and keep our omega safe okay. I’ll be back with food so you don’t have to leave her, I know she won’t say it out loud but she doesn’t like being alone right now”

The brunette wolf gingerly mouthed the edges of her omega’s favorite rainbow blanket and drew it up over her little mate’s sleeping form letting out some protective pheromones into the air. “okay Detka. oh, will you also get something for y/n we never did get to give her anything special for her day with everything that happened” Wanda curled more protectively around her sleeping mate shielding her from the past events.

“ oh , I actually went back to that special store in the mall after..everything” the alpha fisted her hands. Neither of them were comfortable bringing up y/n’s attack. She released a calming breath and continued. “ we left all of our stuff in the changing room when we went after her and I actually got the stuff we tried on.”

The alpha on the bed tilted her head to the side and thumped her tail. “really?”

“Yeah I.. she.. we were.. when it happened” Nat sighed struggling with her emotions and tried to compose herself.“ I didn’t want it to be for nothing” she cleared her throat. “ a-anyway the owner of the shop said she put something extra in there for us. I can get those down from the car but…”

“It might not be the best gift right now considering the circumstances,” Wanda finished.

“Exactly” the older alpha thought for a moment. “ I can go see if Tony has made any progress in what we asked him to do yesterday when he got back. Maybe we can give her that when he finishes it and she shifts back into her human form” 

The younger alpha wagged her tail “I think she’d like that.” 

“ Okay then, I’ll do that, get all of our stuff out of the car, and be back home in time for dinner with food in hand” she nodded, heading for the door.

“Be safe”, was what Nat heard as she made her way into the elevator.

She replied with a signature smirk that no one else could see.“Always” 

One elevator ride with cheesy Avenger music included later,(yes,stark thought it was funny and it helped that Morgan, Peter, Thor, Kate Kamala, and Y/n thought it was cool) and Nat made her way to the kitchen with a fond smile on her face as she linked Tony “ hey Stark, is that thing that we talked about ready?”

“Well good afternoon to you too, no hey how are you doing Tony? No, how was your trip Tony? I mean really, it’s just common courtesy.” 

Nat smiled to herself and chuckled at her friend and pack mate’s fake annoyance “ I’m sorry Tony, how are you?”

“ Well now, was that so hard?” he chuckled. “ I’m doing great, and being the genius that I am, I'll have your request ready before dinner tonight. I picked it up on our way home which was quite the detour by the way. She just needs to be in her human form when she puts it on”

“Thanks Tony”

Stepping out of the hallway and into the kitchen Nat was met with the sight of her sister in an apron with a big smile on her face as Kate unloaded bags and bags of pasta, cheese, butter, cream, milk , and anything else they could possibly need for this lesson. 

Yes, Natasha Romanoff, alpha, the Black Widow, asked her sister for a cooking lesson. She wanted to be able to properly provide for her mates and Mac and cheese was one of y/n’s favorite comfort foods so she asked for help.

“Sestra!” The blond alpha hugged her sister and turned her head nodding towards her mate who had her arms wide open gesturing to all the ingredients on the countertops. “we’re ready for your lesson”

The older sister stared wide-eyed at the array of ingredients that covered almost all of the available space in the kitchen. “Um..is all of this really necessary for one lesson?” 

“Last I checked you can not cook for shit” Yelena bluntly replied “ so yes” she smiled.

“Okay” the alpha sighed, grabbing a wooden spoon in her hands “ so what’s first?” she asked, making Yelena grin. What had she gotten herself into?

=== one cooking montage later===

Nat sat on the floor  partially wet and covered in cheese… no she didn’t have any idea how it ended up even on the ceiling, and she had no idea how she was dirty everywhere else except on the apron she had on. It was like the rules of chemistry and cooking science all decided to turn off at the same time while she was in the kitchen. It was a wonder she hadn’t accidentally created a sentient blob of cheese. (and yes she’d call it Mac)

Yelena for her part sat wide eyed next to her sister. If this last Mac and cheese didn’t come out of the oven right then her sister was a lost cause and the universe did her a favor in giving her two mates that could cook.

Kate sat next to her mate, pasta on her head, probably in her underwear with how everything was going. She somehow had flour on her face when they didn’t even use it and she started to laugh uncontrollably as the other two stared before joining in on the laugh pile on the floor.

…… turns out all the groceries were needed. And also much to Natasha’s shagrin, Yelena was right, she couldn’t in fact cook for shit. But it turned out to be fun to fail. (she honestly couldn’t wait to make a mess with her mates next)

She had somehow burnt pasta while it was in water (yeah that one was a mystery ), under cooked pasta, boiled it to where it was simultaneously both under cooked and over cooked (that one was weird ), somehow turned cheese into glue (edible glue, she should write that down somewhere there could be a market for that in survival gear), and oddly enough turned the one box Mac and cheese they had into the new cement. Suffice to say this cooking lesson had been one heck of an experience. 

Tony had even dropped off y/n’s gift at one point and made the comment that scientists and chemists alike could learn so much from just observing her ‘cook’ and that he was definitely ordering some pizza for the pack tonight.

When the three stopped laughing, Yelena looped her finger through the purple choker-like collar on Kate’s neck and they kissed in a sicky embrace while the red head looked at her watch. It was getting late and she still had to get all the bags out of the car. She looked at the remaining time on the timer and decided to go get the stuff from the car while she could.

“I’ll be right back, just need to get some stuff from the car. Will you keep an eye on the food for me?” She asked as the two mates separated from their kiss.

The young alpha nodded with a smile on her face. “You should take a shower too sestra, you smell!” Yelena shouted at her sister with a laugh. 

“You’re one to talk Yell”  the alpha shot back over her shoulder.

“Hey only y/n can call me that!”

Natasha smirked at Kate’s fading laughter behind her as she made her way to the car to grab her things. When she’d done that, she decided to heed her sister’s advice and take a quick shower, deciding to do so in the mission lockers where she had extra clothes so that she wouldn’t disturb her mates, taking a selfie of herself for proof of her adventure and to keep as a memory of her time with her sister(she really needed to start a new photo album of her life with her family and friends).

When she was done she went back to the kitchen with ten minutes to spare only to find that it was somehow devoid of all the mess they’d made. Yelena and Kate were sitting together in a new set of clean clothes. “ wow, y’all work fast”

Kate smiled, giving her mate a loving gaze. “ we make a perfect team”

“And we were cleaner than you” Yelena quipped as Kate put her face in her neck.

Natasha took a seat next to them taking the opportunity to look and see what the nice lady at the store had gifted them. After putting the box Stark dropped off in the bag, she started digging into the bag where she found a long thin box hidden under the nicely wrapped lingerie. 

She pulled the mysterious box out of the bag and looked it over before slowly opening it. “Oh”
