Chapter 1
Natasha had been missing for 2 months and they had no idea where she was it was a simple mission one she was going to be taking down a hydra operative but once she didn't report in Fury got worried turned out the mission wasn't as simple as he thought and the hydra operative had caught and now they were searching endlessly for Natasha. Now after endless weeks and days without sleep they had finally got a hit on where Natasha was at and the Avengers headed to Russia to get back their teammate but she wasn't as they remembered
"Has anyone found Natasha?"Steve asked as he took down the last of the hydra agents.
"Negative," Clint answered he wanted to find his best friend and make sure she was okay.
"If this is a dead-end I think Hill might skin us alive," Tony said he might be using humor right now but he really wanted to find his friend.
"Well I'm going to check this level I might have luck," Steve said, he started busting down through doors finding each one empty he was starting to lose hope and really hoped the last door had Natasha in it. When he burst into the door he saw a child in the corner. It was a girl he could tell from the red curly hair that hung wildly. The little girl reminded him of Natasha with her curly hair.
"I have a kid here," Steve said quietly
"No Natasha," Clint asked
"No."
"Hey kid, listen-" Steve started but the kid ran to him at fun speed and hugged his leg tightly. She had caught Steve off guard.
"Daddy you found me!!! Where's Mommy?" The little girl said realising her grip on his leg and she started bouncing up and down with eagerness, it took Steve a moment to process what the heck just came out of the little girl's mouth. Did she just call him Daddy?
"Daddy?" Tony said through the comms.
"Um kid what's your name?" The little girl looked at him in confusion and then her lip started quivering and tears were streaming down her face and Steve stood there frozen. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know if he said something wrong.
"They were right, you don't remember me. It's me, daddy, it's Natasha." The little girl said now she was full-on crying and Steve didn't know what to do so he picked her up and hugged her, she did look like a mini version of Natasha's red hair and those green eyes didn't lie.
"I remember sweetie, I remember, how could I forget the face of my princess," Steve said as he rubbed circles on Natasha's back.
"Cap, did I just hear what I think I heard?" Clint asks
"Yes, we'll meet you all in the quinjet."
"Princess can you close your eyes for me and only open them when I say it's okay."
"Mommy."
"You'll see mommy soon just close your eyes."
"Okay," Natasha mumbled from the crook of his neck. Steve walked them both out of the hydra facility and into the quinjet where Tony and Clint were waiting for them; they didn't need any backup since the facility was every underly guarded.
"You can open your eyes now."
"Down Daddy," Natasha said no more of demanded Steve to put her down and once he did she took a small turn to check out her surroundings, and then she turned back to Tony and Clint who were standing there gaping the little girl did look like Natasha and her voice was squeaker but not the type to have your ears bleeding it was sweet and suited her for her age.
"Uncle Tony I missed you!!!!" Tony was shocked and Clint was hurt. Natasha was always telling Tony how annoying he was and threatening to kill him but they did have enjoyable times together.
"I missed you too little red," Tony said an amused triumph smirk on his face as he saw Clint's reaction to what Natasha said and he went and picked her up and kissed her on her cheek.
"I'm not little," Natasha said
"Really then how old are you."
"I'm 5, that means I'm a big girl."
"And who's your favorite uncle?" Tony asked he knew actually what he was doing and so did Steve and Clint
"You are uncle Tony!!!" Clint gasped his own friend betraying him for Stark his best friend when she was big again he would have words with her.
"Really Tasha and what about uncle Clint."
"You're the second best."
"It's okay Barton with me you'll always be second best," Tony said an amused smirk on his face he was little Natasha's favorite uncle and he would live up to that by being the best damn uncle he could be.
"Daddy I want Mommy," Natasha states yawning her head resting on Tony's shoulder
"I know princess and you'll see her why don't you go to sleep and I'll wake you up," Steve said taking Natasha from Tony and placing her in a chair and buckling her up and draping a blanket over her. Steve went to the cockpit where Clint and Tony were fighting over who Natasha's favorite uncle was.
"Do we know how she got this way?" Clint asked once Steve stepped in
"No, maybe she'll remember and help you see what we have to reverse."
"Who's Mommy by the way?" Tony asked
"I have no clue."
"Well, you better find her before Natasha losses her shit," Clint says
"I don't know who the person she claims her mother is and we need to get her clothes and other things. I'm so confused right now."
"Don't worry I already called Pepper she's already going shopping for Natasha and having a room on your floor set up just for her," Tony says
"Thanks, Tony."
"No problem it's just what the favorite uncle does."
"God your never going to stop that are you?" Clint says
"Nope, I'm not."
The rest of the ride was spent in quiet they had already called Fury but haven't given him all the details on Ntasah condition just that he would have to wait and see, Natasha slept through the whole ride and Steve was thankful that he didn't need her bombarding him with questions on who her mother was when he didn't even know himself and the also needed time to think on what the hell he was going to do with Natasha now since he was her "father". Clint was figuring out many ways to be Natasha's favorite uncle he didn't do second best especially not with his best friend, Tony was happy he was Natasha's favorite and he was going to make sure it stays that way.
