Hey, could you do Hermes x Thanatos with the prompt “We could get arrested for this”? I'm like really fixated on this ship right now and offended at how it barley exists.

Hi anon! Thanks for your ask! I had a lot of fun writing this :). I kinda went with a modern/human au. Hope you like it!

You stole my heart

Hermes sat crouched on top of the roof, staring at the neighbouring house with binoculars. Thanatos was sitting next to him, leaning against the railing of the roof.

“They are getting in the car,” Hermes whispered. “The house should be empty soon.”

Thanatos sighed and turned around, also looking at the house. The house was more like a villa, owned by one of the richest people in town. Their cars were also way too expensive for the poorly constructed gravel roads.

The revving of an engine resonated through the silent street, the headlights lighting up the dark night. As the sound of the engine faded away, Hermes got up.

“Come on, pretty boy,” Hermes said, wiping roof gravel off his knees. “Showtime.”

“I still don’t know how you talked me into this,” Thanatos murmured as he got up.

“You fell for my charm,” Hermes winked, pecking Thanatos on the cheek. “And my puppy-eyes.”

“I fell for those a long time ago, love,” Thanatos said, taking hold of Hermes’ hand.

Hermes grinned. Even in the dark, Thanatos could see the sparkles in his eyes. Hermes stepped closer to Thanatos and kissed him. Thanatos sunk into the kiss, wrapping his free arm around Hermes’ waist.

“Come on,” Hermes smirked as they broke apart. “Time to steal from the rich.”

Thanatos rolled his eyes, but he couldn’t help the smile at his boyfriend. Hermes led Thanatos to the corner of the roof. In a smooth swing, Hermes jumped over the roof railing and grabbed the drainpipe. He slid down, landing on the stone pavement of the sidewalk below.

Thanatos climbed onto the railing and jumped onto the fire escape below. He ran down the stairs, taking four steps at a time. At the end of the platform, he jumped off and landed on the sidewalk next to Hermes.

“The fence is electric,” Hermes whispered. “But there is a gap where the bushes are.”

“You mean the rose bushes?” Thanatos asked.

Hermes just smirked and ran over to the bushes. Thanatos shook his head as he ran after him. Hermes sneaked through a small gap between two bushes. Thanatos tried to follow him but got caught on one of the branches. He cursed as he yanked his sleeve loose, slicing open his arm.

Thanatos cradled his bleeding arm as he came to stand next to Hermes.

“What now?” Thanatos asked.

“The guy’s bedroom window is right above us,” Hermes whispered. “If we climb up the drainpipe, we can break the window and get in.”

“Whatever you say,” Thanatos mumbled. “You’re the kleptomaniac.”

Hermes winked at Thanatos and walked over to the drainpipe.

“You love me anyways,” Hermes said, as he began to climb the pipe.

“Adorable bastard,” Thanatos grumbled.

Thanatos followed Hermes, climbing the drainpipe as well. Hermes pulled a tiny crowbar out of his pocket. He smashed the window and climbed inside. Thanatos followed Hermes, climbing through the smashed window as well. Hermes was already rummaging through piles of clothes.

“We could get arrested for this,” Thanatos voiced.

“Stealing from a thief is not stealing,” Hermes said. “I’m just taking my stuff back.”

“What about breaking and entering?” Thanatos argued.

“If you don’t get caught, you didn’t commit the crime,” Hermes said, moving on to a different pile.

“That’s your worst reasoning so far,” Thanatos said. “Why do you want this jacket back so much anyway? You have a hundred different ones at home.”

“It’s not about the jacket, Than,” Hermes said, looking up at Thanatos. “It’s about my honour as a thief.”

“And there is something in the pocket that I want back,” Hermes muttered as he turned his attention back to the pile.

Thanatos rolled his eyes and looked at his arm. Blood was starting to soak through the fabric of his sleeve. Suddenly Hermes looked up.

“Got it,” Hermes beamed as he held up the jacket.

“Well we better hurry,” Thanatos said, looking out of the window. Red and blue lights lit up the street. “The cops are coming.”

“Fuck,” Hermes said, as he came to stand next to Thanatos.

Hermes jumped out of the window, swinging down the drainpipe and landing on the grass below. Thanatos climbed through the window, avoiding cutting himself more on the glass. He grabbed the drainpipe and slid down. Hermes had already disappeared through the bushes.

Thanatos jumped onto the grass and hurried after Hermes through the bushes. Thorns cut open his skin more. Hermes was waiting on the pavement. Once Thanatos was through the bushes, Hermes grabbed his hand and they ran away.

Thanatos leaned against the wall of the alleyway, trying to catch his breath. Hermes danced around him, cheery as ever.

“That was awesome!” Hermes laughed. “We should do this more!”

“No,” Thanatos panted. “I love you, but we’re not doing this again.”

Hermes pouted, standing still in front of Thanatos. Hermes had bound the jacket around his waist.

“Is the thing you wanted back still in the pocket anyway?” Thanatos asked.

“Yup,” Hermes said, as he felt the pocket. “It’s still there.”

“What even is this thing that we just risked our lives for?” Thanatos asked, looking Hermes in the eyes.

Hermes sighed, looking down at Thanatos’ chest. He slowly pulled out the thing from his pocket.

“I was hoping to do this somewhere nicer than a dark alleyway after we just escaped the police. But,” Hermes said as he handed the thing -a tiny box- to Thanatos. “Will you be my partner in crime forever?”

Thanatos opened the little box and was shocked. Inside was the most beautiful ring he had ever seen. He looked up at Hermes.

“Did you just propose to me?” Thanatos asked in shock.

Hermes softly nodded. A smile broke open Thanatos’ face and he kissed Hermes, pulling him closer.

“A thousand times yes,” Thanatos whispered as he pulled away.

Hermes smiled widely and kissed Thanatos again. Only when they ran out of breath, did they pull away. Hermes gently took the box from Thanatos, sliding the ring onto Thanatos’ ringfinger. Thanatos stared at the ring in awe.

“Do you now understand why I wanted that jacket back?” Hermes whispered.

“Yes,” Thanatos replied softly. “For this I don’t mind escaping the police.”

Hermes smiled and pulled Thanatos even closer.

“We do have to talk about the fact that you just proposed to me in a dark alleyway,” Thanatos chuckled.

“Nah,” Hermes said, smiling. “I think it was pretty perfect.”

“It was,” Thanatos whispered and he kissed Hermes again.

Character Intro: Aplistos (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Golden God by the people of Olympius

Listos by his friends

Darling by his girlfriend

Age- 44 (immortal)

Location- Skyline district, New Olympus

Personality- He's confident, arrogant, & sure of himself with an enviable drive. He has a tendency to be selfish and unapologetically blunt while also looking down on others who don't meet his high standards/expectations. He's currently in a relationship.

He has the standard abilities of a god except shapeshifting. Being the god of avarice his other powers/abilities include limited chrimatakinesis (not to the level of Hermes, his ex-girlfriend, or current girlfriend), limited chrysopeia, supernatural thievery, limited illusion generation, hoarding inducement (temporarily in others), spending inducement (temporarily in others), obsession inducement (temporarily in others), and being able to sense & manipulate the greed in others.

Aplistos' main abode is his apartment on the top floor of The Chrysaor Courts, a luxury high rise apartment building in the Skyline neighborhood of New Olympus. The interior design is sleek and modern with a touch of olympian opulence. An ostentatious Imperial Gold chandelier dripping with woven diamonds hangs from the ceiling of the main hall. There's a spa room, an in-studio movie theater, a large walk-in closet that measures almost a 1,000 sq ft with the walls being painted in 24K gold paint, and most of the flooring is white oak with Imperial Gold & platinum accents. There's also leather furniture, marble & platinum furniture pieces, a state-of-the-art kitchen with stainless steel appliances- including the most expensive refrigerator (that has a 40,000 drachma price tag), and his bedroom- which has his exclusive mattress (stitched with real silver & gold) and the Imperial Gold/black opal bedframe. Aplistos is also overseeing the construction of his mansion that's being built in the state of Olympia. It's said that the foundation is being built on top of a major goldmine. He often shuttles back and forth from his place & his girlfriend's main apartment.

He has an animal companion- a dragon named Chrysarion that's widely known as "The Golden Flame." The beautiful beast is covered in gleaming gold scales and has cream colored wing membranes. Chrysarion is Aplistos' mode of transportation when traveling great distances or when he wants to make an entrance. Aplistos loves feeding him pounds of vintage cote de boeuf, which the dragon cooks himself with his fire!

Aplistos normally gets around in his car- a cream & gold high tech seamless machinery complete with custom high end finishes inside, a champagne fridge, and Imperial Gold spinners. His personal driver- a harpy named Aello drives.

A go-to drink for him is champagne. He also likes classic martinis, whiskey sours, gin & tonics, vodka shots, jack & cokes, beer, mojitos, and manhattans. Usuals for him from The Roasted Bean is an olympian sized dark roast coffee & a large iced tea.

Aplistos starts off his mornings with a high intensity workout at the gym before going home for an appointment with his personal masseuse, a mermaid named Aquaria. He'll sometimes go to the Gold Rays tanning salon for a quick tan.

He loves the breakfast made by his personal chef, a mortal man named Giles. A typical one for Aplistos is eggs benedict along with pain au chocolat topped with warm rhubarb compote, mushroom & fatina tartines, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. He also likes when Giles makes his famous garlic & herb parmesan biscuit breakfast sandwich (that has scrambled eggs, black olives, smoked ham, and scallions).

Aplistos' list of people he cares about is a short one. It includes his younger sibling Aerin (goddess of the ethereal), his current girlfriend Orthosia (goddess of wealth), her son Chrysos (god of gold & riches), his ex-girlfriend Evimería (goddess of prosperity), and her son Caerus (god of opportunity & luck). Everyone else is met with general indififference.

He hates tattoos & ridiculous piercings.

One gift Aplistos likes is the flask his girlfriend gave to him. It's made of platinum and white gold & his covered in diamonds!

Not much is known (publicly or in the pantheon) how he came into his wealth. It's generally rumored that it started from his dealings in the black market.

Aplistos takes meticulous care and great pride in his physical appearance. His body is in peak physical shape, his hair effortlessly coiffed, his nails & facial hair neatly trimmed, his skin free of imperfections with a flawless golden glow, his teeth brilliantly white, and his clothes expertly tailored & wrinkle free.

His favorite frozen treat is vanilla vodka ice cream topped with lots of champagne whipped cream & edible gold leaves.

Evimería was Aplistos' first real serious relationship, their love growing over time. He was always grateful to her for being the first to see the good in him- that he was more than the "avaricious materialistic god." Aplistos enjoyed being a father figure towards her son. Things shifted when Aplistos started to prioritize work & gambling over his relationship. Sometimes, it'd be several weeks before Evimería saw or heard from him. The end began when Aplistos agreed to watch Caerus while Evimería went to a business meeting. Aplistos was also entertaining a small poker party so he sent Caerus to his bedroom to play video games. He was horrified later on when he opened his bedroom door. He saw one of his dresser slightly opened and Caerus laying on the floor unconscious with a ring of lotus dust around his mouth. Aplistos gathered Caerus in his arms, got on his dragon, & flew to the hospital where a doctor was able to treat the lotus dust toxicity. Evimería quickly rushed to the hospital when she got the news and was totally distraught. She slapped Aplistos a few times and ended their relationship.

A guilty pleasure for him is a slice of pepperoni hot honey pizza.

Aplistos fell hard and fast for Orthosia. He appreciates the fact that she wants them to maintain their independence even though they're a couple. He was the first to say "I love you." Aplistos also looks forward to the rare instances where she shows her vulnerability. For Orthosia's most recent birthday, Aplistos gifted her with a bra (and detachable belt) from Diamond Ave.- with 24K gold hardware, diamond straps, and it's adorned with over 6,500 precious gems including diamonds, blue topaz, purple garnet, pink morganite, & yellow citrine.

He supported Aerin during her transition. He found it interesting that she didn't opt for changing her name to a more feminine sounding one.

He loves listening to rock, hip-hop, and electronic music.

For other work/means of income Aplistos models for/endorses Platinum Alchemy (Zeus' men's fashion brand) and Shadow Specs. With his own personal endeavors, Aplistos has released a signature cologne aptly titled Emmonos. The fragrance notes include mahogany wood, coffee, roasted barley, & black vanilla. Another detail is the black opal bottle. The 8.4 oz bottle sells for 1,300 drachmas! He's also an executive producer on his girlfriend's upcoming business reality TV show titled Griffin's Den.

A favorite sweet treat of his are the glamour doughnuts from The Luxe, a high end eatery/shop. The doughnut is filled with champagne jelly, glazed with dark chocolate and passionfruit syrup, and is then dusted with edible gold & diamond dust. A price for one is nearly 2,000 drachmas.

In the pantheon Aplistos is friends with Neicus (god of debate & appeal), Apólafsi (god of enjoyment), Dolos (god of deception & treachery), Isorropía (Isorro) (god of duality, balance, & equilibrium), Apate (goddess of fraud & deception), Felis (Titaness of cats), Psionikós (god of the mind), Aisa (goddess of lot & fate), Favian (god of philosophy), Hybris (goddess of insolence, hubris, & reckless pride), Helios (Titan god of the sun), Epimetheus (Titan god of afterthought), and Priapus (god of fertility, vegetable gardens, livestock, sexuality, & masculinity). He also greatly admires Pseudologos (god of lies). Aplistos was the official mentor to Zelus (god of envy, jealousy, & zeal).

At the spa he loves getting the liquid gold facial.

Aplistos has been enjoying hanging out with Chrysos. They often frequent the Golden Grove country club to play golf.

His all time favorite meal is double grilled caviar stuffed salmon drizzled in lemon butter sauce and garlic rice.

In his free time Aplistos enjoys tanning, working out, sunbathing, football (soccer), poker, surfing, clubbing, tennis, playing pool, swimming, shopping, dining out, & golf.

"Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the being in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction."

Can we get more info on more urban fantasy greek creatures?

Urban Fantasy Monsters: Greek Edition!

((Sure! I don't mind. Let's go!))

Centaur accessibility in homes and office spaces. Centaur architecture has become a huge movement in the interior design world creating a space between a cozy farmcore like design with more modern elements. Gates are sold within home department stores next to doors where people can purchase them to make a centaur safe house. These gates come in all shapes and sizes and has become quite a trend in some suburban homes.

Chimera's becoming exotic pets for the rich and wealthy. Though these animals are quite interesting to look at they are more suitable for a wild environment. Conservationist have actively voiced their concern towards Chimera's becoming a sort of "luxury pet " which has also become a hot topic when some major celebrities' are seen taking photos of them and their little baby chimera pups.

Another pet one, Cerebus's and hell hounds in general becoming more of a household pet. Due to the breed variety of these dogs most people find them to be great guard dogs and some have even been in the police force. One famous doggo was Ajax, Castor, and Ares. This Cerebus was a breed that conceded of a three headed Rottie mix, he was one of the first Cerebus's to be on a police force and was used in many operations. He has a statue in a police station for his bravery. This boom in popularity has made these dogs a house hold name and have improved their reputation in the past couple of years. Who could say no to a three headed ball of love??

Despite both of them being beautiful horses of magic. DO NOT put unicorns and Pegasus in the same enclosure. Unicorns are highly territorial and do not like it when other creatures are in their territory. The same can be said for Pegasus, they're more on the timid and will not usually attack unless they feel threated. Giving them snacks like carrots and grains are a great way to gain their trust however, they might bring some more of their friends along like crows and you'll have a hoard of Pegasus in your backyard.

Satyrs having intrusive thoughts about chewing...everything. Some use chewing as a stress reliever or to rid of anxiety so, most have small sensory chew items to help with this. Though that doesn't stop some satyrs from chewing on cans.. Human: "Dude. Did you chew on my shirt?" Saytr: [Shakes their head with something in their mouth] Human: "What's in your mouth." Saytr: "...." [BOLTS AWAY] Human: "Spit it out!!"

See You In Hell i

Natasha Romanoff x f!Reader

Warnings : alcohol, drugs, one night stands

Author's Note : If you couldn't tell, reader (as in you!) are Hades. I haven't mentioned any specific body type or other physical traits. My readers are mostly woc when I write them but anyone can read. More tags will be added but for this chapter your warnings are listed below. Happy reading!

Summary : When a dangerous group gets their hands on a substance that could mean the end of the world as we know it, it's on you to find out how to stop them. Of course, you don't mind some help along the way. Especially when it's in the form of a redheaded former assassin.

Word Count : 2155

series masterlist

This was getting old. Every night a long pub crawl, only coming to an end with the arrival of Apollo himself. Stepping through the doors of your penthouse, the tight leather of your pants sticking to you like a second skin, you really wished you hadn’t given her your spare key.

Hecate lounged on your couch, one of the few pieces of furniture in your otherwise sparse living room. ‘Minimalism is all the rage’, the interior designer had said. A steaming mug of what you believed was peppermint tea was in her delicate hands.

“Is there any whiskey in that by any chance?” you wondered out loud.

As an immortal being, a God, you couldn’t possibly get drunk on human liquor, though that didn’t mean you couldn’t appreciate the taste of a tumbler of aged scotch or a glass of wine that would put Dionysus to shame. Living forever loses its appeal after a couple hundred millennia. It was fun at first, great wars and even greater monsters. The high of slaying the horrors that had been unleashed upon the world by Kronos enough to make you continue this whole God gig and the shenanigans that came along with it. Thanks Dad.

Rolling her deep brown eyes, she moved towards you before pushing the cup into your hands, “Drink up. Chad has called a council and you don’t want to be late,” she said as she fixed her deep red midi-length dress which you found too conservative for your tastes. I mean, you’re immortal. Live a little, for God’s sake.

Your hands fly to your face, the heels of your palm digging into your eye socket as you groan throatily, “Ugh, remind me why I still bother to stay in touch with those losers?” you whine, beyond annoyed at this point.

“Well, for starters, as the Ruler of the Underworld, you cannot just cut ties with the Ruler of the World and your brother. Plus, Mount Olympus has a pretty sweet waterslide,” she answered with a smirk. She wasn’t wrong. The waterslide was mean, even by Godly standards.

And she was right about the whole ‘Being the Ruler of the Underworld, overseer of souls and overall baddie’ part. But, contrary to what ‘Paradise Lost’ and ‘Lucifer’ would make you believe, Hades, or ‘Satan’ as you were more popularly known for the past couple of centuries, was not your charming, chain smoking bad boy with feathery black wings and a severe case of daddy issues (though that part could be argued. I mean, years stuck inside a wacko’s stomach with four siblings and a pretty large rock is bound to fuck a gal up in one way or another, right?) or even an ugly swamp monster. To begin with, Hades is a woman. Most people refuse to believe that Hades is anything but 200 pounds of pure muscle and seduction. A slice of heavenly beefcake.

“Alright, let’s go. But I’m going to require an actual drink after this,” you grumble as Hecate slowly pushes you towards the shower. You didn't really need to shower as a God but why not? Especially if it will help you put off showing up at the upcoming family reunion for as long as possible.

“Do this and I’ll come out with you tonight,” she bribed. That was incentive enough for you and you quickly freshened up for what you were sure was going to be an awkward and uncomfortable coming together of The Ancient Family.

You huffed angrily as you walked back into your house, throwing your clutch and keys to one side before flopping down onto the chaise lounge. You were so sick of this. Every time. Every fucking time.

You could hear Hecate’s rushed footsteps, her flats making an unnecessarily loud noise across the tiles. You groaned loudly, a hand across your forehead as you wondered why you even bothered.

She sat down next to you on the sofa and pulled your head into her lap, running her fingers through your hair.

After a couple of moments of silence, your eyes closed, the stress of the day melted away slowly with the gentle movements of her fingers. Hecate had always been sensitive. She could feel your distress before you left for Mount Olympus but the anger rolling off of you in waves really put her on edge.

“Look at the positive side honey, you get to spend more time around here on Ear-“ she says but is swiftly cut off by your throaty groan. “Fuck no,” you moan.

“C’mon don’t be like that,” she tried but you moved away from her, walking towards your bedroom. “I need a real fucking drink,” you grumble as the door shuts with a loud band behind you, Hecate left alone in the living room, gently shaking her head.

Natasha was exhausted. From back to back missions and Sam and Bucky’s constant bickering the whole time, it was safe to say that she’d had it. She needed a drink.

So here they were, the whole team minus Bruce, in some seedy bar in Brooklyn where she knew the barkeep could make a decent enough drink and the patrons generally left them alone. It wasn’t easy being one of Earth’s mightiest heroes.

Another mission that would last far too long, more than she cared for. At least it was a pretty low profile mission, just scouting and gathering some intel. There were strict orders not to get involved until and unless it was absolutely imperative for them to do so. She was glad it was Bucky who would be joining her. Steve was a goddamn killjoy and Sam never seemed to know when he should shut up.

But for tonight and tonight alone, all of it was forgotten. Ideally, she’d like to meet a pretty girl and take her home for the night but she’d make do with a good drink and a plate of mozzarella sticks. But that was before she saw her.

Looking at her, Natasha’s interest was instantly piqued.

Even dressed down, she looked better than anybody present. Black skinny jeans that hugged all her curves, cropped red tank top and a leather jacket, paired with what looked like black Louboutin boots that proved she valued comfort just as much as style. She could faintly see the gleam of a gemstone of some sort at the woman’s waist, partially hidden by her jacket.

She saw the woman take a seat at one end of the bar with her companions, directly in her line of sight. The taller one had russet brown skin with dark curly hair, dressed in a long, flowy purple dress and what looked like a necklace full of odd charms, her face having little to no make up. The shorter one was plump with pale white skin and dark makeup, wearing leather from head to toe.

Sam too had noticed the women walk in. It was safe to say that a gorgeous woman never failed to catch his eye. Nudging Bucky, he jerked his head towards the trio. Bucky was instantly attracted to you and did not protest when Sam led him towards your seat at the bar.

Natasha watched from afar, completely engrossed in the interaction. A small smirk played at her lips as she registered Steve taking a seat next to her, watching Sam and Bucky make fools of themselves.

Natasha was definitely interested now.

You were ready to end this shit show of a day on a good note. On a high note at the very least. And what better place than Dan’s, where the drinks are strong, the food is far too greasy and the music’s loud.

You don’t know how but Hecate managed to convince Nyx to join you for the night but you weren’t one to complain. Nyx was an absolute blast, the best person to party with. Hecate on the other hand was only here for your sake. Dark and dingy bars were admittedly not her scene.

The moment you set foot into the establishment, you know this was going to be a good night. You were dressed comfortably but you knew you looked good either way. It was hard not to be aware of it, especially when all heads turned to look at the three of you when you walked towards the bar.

“Two beers and a ginger ale please,” Nyx says as she plops down on the barstool, letting her long, dark hair down.

“Not drinking again?” You question, grabbing the beer and taking a large gulp.

“All of it tastes like piss anyway,” she grumbled, cracking open the can and taking a small sip.

Hecate elects to stay quiet, slowly sipping her beer, cringing at the taste of it. You’re scanning the establishment, generally checking people out when you see two men approaching your group. They were hot, no doubt, but you kinda just wanted a night to yourselves. But you decided to have fun with them before letting them down not so easy.

Natasha had front row tickets to the shenanigans, watching as the group of women totally tore into both Bucky and Sam. She would have felt bad for them if she didn’t find it so fucking hilarious. But what was funnier though, was the fact that you were there the next morning, sitting at the kitchen island while Sam made pancakes. She saw you walking towards him, reaching for the syrup and grabbing his butt in the process.

“This is a common space, you know?” Natasha asks, walking towards the counter and grabbing a plate.

“Sorry,” Sam mumbles bashfully. You just toss her a smirk and she’s not sure if her eyes are deceiving her but you seem to be checking her out. She’s sure you are when you wink at her before focusing your attention on Sam again.

Once most of the team is here, other than Bucky who seemed to have spent the night elsewhere, Tony is quick to start an interrogation

“So, Y/n, what is it that you do?”

You take your time answering, taking a long, drawn out sip of your coffee.

“Oh, I’m a manager of sorts,” you answer vaguely.

“Here in Manhattan?” Tony continues, still suspicious.

“Mhm, downtown,” you supply.

“Hmm, interesting,” Tony trails off and all of them stare at him, wondering why he’s acting so strange. Sam looks particularly embarrassed but you don’t seem to care, finishing your food and putting your plate away. When your phone begins to ring, you grab it quickly, but not quick enough that Natasha can’t read the name of the caller. Vanko Lebedev. Why does that sound so familiar?

“Uh-huh, okay,” you’re quick to get on your feet then, giving Sam a kiss on the cheek before you leave with a “I’ll call you,” thrown his way.

He only realises later that you never got his number.

The next time the team sees you is rather unexpected. It’s two weeks after they initially met you. Natasha and Clint are undercover at a gala hosted by the governor in honour of Valerie Banks, philanthropist and business woman. The woman had made a donation to one of the charities that the governor had started, a sizable donation. And there you were, all dolled up and hanging off her arm.

It’s when she sees you that all warning bells start going off in her head. Valerie Banks was who Natasha and Clint were on the lookout for. Her company, a pharmaceutical one, was rumoured to have procured a substance quite like the super soldier serum and were supposedly on their way to making their own superhumans. To see you with her definitely raises her suspicions. It’s not just Banks that they have to look into now, but you too.

Natasha, despite her good looks, knew how to blend into the crowd. So well that you didn’t realise as she followed you to the restroom. She sees you slip into the restroom but unlike what she expected, you don’t lock the door. She’s cautious, listening through the door.

“Yeah, yeah, I’ve basically got her eating out of my palm. I mean, who knew rich women could be so desperate?” you giggle.
