Royal Summons
After getting Justin settled in at the mansion and introducing him around to a few of the older residents, Misha got a message from Tasha to visit as soon as he had the time. With Justin making himself at home in one of the labs, Misha had the time. He was useless with the coding and actual armor creation.

He drove Darlene into the city, listening to her prattle on about a science symposium and exploring the options of an artificial body. Anya had even more to answer for the next time he saw her. This was his car, not one of her experiments.

Stopping long enough for chocolates and flowers, he made good time and let himself into the condo. "Mom, it's Misha!"

Natasha took the offered help getting her. Her stomach was getting bigger and it was getting a little more difficult to move around.

"I know. Would you like a beer?" Natasha always kept beer in the fridge for his visits, not that they were frequent, but there was always some in there. It was the only remaining alcohol in the place and neither Tasha or Tony drank it.

	"I'd love a beer." He slipped an arm around her waist for extra support. "I'll get it. Would you like something to drink? Tea? Juice? Is there some godawful protein drink you're supposed to choke down four times a day so the kid will hate rap music and McDonald's when he's born?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can get it," Natasha grumbled and leaned into him. "I'm not fragile and I won't break." They were all treating her like she was and she was getting quite tired of it. "Shhh. Don't say that too loudly. Tony's in his office and he'll hear you. Then he'll go to Hank and they'll come up with a protein drink that I'll have to drink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, Mom. Anything you say, Mom." He kissed her temple as they made their way to the kitchen. "He better be taking damned good care of you or I'll have to do something really nasty to him. Dad's taught me plenty of his tricks, so nasty won't be hard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't patronize me," she grumbled as she opened the fridge. She pulled out a bottle of beer and handed it to him. "Tony's...doing great. He's worried, very worried, but he's being a trooper about this. He's taking very good care of me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's how it should be." Misha sat down at the eating bar to avoid the appearance of hovering. "I haven't talked to James lately. How's he doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-03 05:48 am UTC (link)
	"He's good," Natasha said as she picked up the phone. "He's been volunteering down at the rec center this summer, doing Avenger stuff and he will be started ESU in the fall." Natasha smiled. "He wants to be a teacher." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-03 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	"I think he'd be a great teacher. He has the personality for it." He got up to find a bottle opener. "Extra everything for me, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He will and does," Natasha said with some pride. She took pride in all of her kids, even the ones she didn't give birth to. She nodded and dialed the number for Big Nick's. She disconnected the line a few moments later after placing her order. "How's Dad?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-03 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Dad's fine. Keeping busy." He took a drink of beer. "How's Anya? Haven't talked to her in a week or so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-03 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"That's good. I should give him a call and have lunch or something. Catch up with him." It would give her a chance to get some fresh air. She felt like the walls were starting to close in. "She's good. Though there was a thing with space bugs and running afoul of SWORD and SHIELD. Her birthday is in a week and a half." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-03 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Misha nodded. "He'd like that." "Oh yeah, the brat finally turns eighteen." He hadn't forgotten. It had popped up on his electronic calendar, and Anya's number one AI fan had been showing him web links for gifts on his cell phone for the last two weeks. "So what is it this year? Charity ball? Group party in Tahiti?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-03 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know. She hasn't said anything about it so far. Which in itself is strange." Natasha shrugged. "I suspect that she may just want a low key birthday this year. Family dinner and time with Steve. I honestly don't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Huh. Did you check her for mind control germs or if she's a skrull?" The sister he knew liked parties and took every opportunity to gather all her friends together to have one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Not yet. I'm hoping it's just because she's distracted with all she has going on." Natasha shrugged and then opened the fridge to get some iced tea. "I'm sure she'll come up with something. Your sister loves parties too much to not have one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How's she really getting along with her new team? I haven't been invited out to meet them and it seems kind of rude to drop in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"Fine from what I gather," Natasha said. "They're doing alright. She seems to be enjoying it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-04 04:03 am UTC (link)
	"I'm glad." He carefully looked away and hid a smile. "It got her off the B-team for awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"The important thing is that she's in school," Natasha said. She wasn't going to get into the X-Men vs Avengers who's better debate. She was and always will be an Avenger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One of these days he'd get Mom to agree with him or just have fun trying. He knew where her loyalties were. Being the mutant and the X-Men did separate him from the others. "She is the genius," he agreed. "I'm glad she's happy. She deserves it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"So do you," she reminded him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-04 05:53 am UTC (link)
	"I'm working at it," he assured her. "Don't worry about me. You have more important things to worry about. Like the nursery. You get it decorated and furnished yet? I have some Mets pennants that need to go up for the little guy and get him started off right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 07:00 am UTC (link)
	"Of course I'm going to worry about you. I'm your mother." She gave him a small smile. "I just want you all to be healthy and happy." Natasha shrugged. "It's coming. Now that we know what color to decorate it with, people are going to come this week. Though if Tony tries to paint it in red and gold, I'll shoot him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-08-04 07:08 am UTC (link)
	"You've done the shooting thing in the past. He'd expect it. Maybe you should try another tactic. Knife throwing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-04 07:10 am UTC (link)
	"You have a point," she said. "It's a thought. You may want to get those pennants ready. Tony may get him Yankee pennants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
