Lunch and family
Natasha went with neutral ground for this meeting. Matt in her home was probably not a good idea no matter how she looked at it. Neutral ground meant some place out and some place that would offer some amount of privacy. That left her clearing out Big Nick's for lunch. Thankfully the place was more than willing to cater to Mrs. Stark.

Natasha arrived with Eliza and Misha, sending a text to Tony letting him know where they'll be if he wanted to meet them. They grabbed a table with four extra chairs. One for Tony if he showed and three for Matt, Jack and Elektra. Natasha silently prayed that the Greek Ninja would not be coming. It would just add more tension to a situation that was already guaranteed to be very tense.

She sat quietly at the table and sipped her diet soda. She was steering clear of vodka until after this, but she could really use a few shots before seeing Matt.

Eliza is stirring her lemonade with her straw. She isn't sipping from it just yet though she gets the impression she'll enjoy it once she's ready. She had time to gather her thoughts and get ready to see her counterpart Dad.

It was weird. But she looked forward to seeing him. This would help her get used to things not being the same. She also would get to meet her other older brother. It was very strange picturing him since she had heard some of the history between their parents.

	Misha didn't order vodka, but he did have a beer. He relaxed next to Mom, doing his best to project support. He could see this was hard for her. And he admitted, to himself, some curiosity about Mr. Murdock. He'd heard the stories, but he'd never met the man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Matt eventually, on schedule, walked in quietly. The place had such a strong Hot Food scent one could swim in it. Yeah, really he should think about that now instead of everything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jack followed Dad in. The smell of the place was strong, but he thought it might be a good place to eat some night. He resolved to try it out later.

Two of the faces he recognized. Both from the newspapers, and in Mrs. Stark's case when he'd accompanied a small group of junior Avengers to the mansion after a run in with the Lady Mandarin. She was very white.

He put on a smile. This could be a good thing and he wanted to approach it in that way.

	There was an old familiar tightness in her chest when she saw Matt. Twenty years and there was no denying the man still had an effect on her. The breath caught in her chest and she swore her heart skipped a beat or two. She slowly stood up. "Matthew." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Matt wished he wasn't paying attention to her heartbeat. "Natasha." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack wished he didn't hear either of their heartbeats. He wanted to like Mrs. Stark, but loyalty to his mother might make it a bit hard after today. He was about to introduce himself, but the tension springing up around the table kept him silent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She could see the tension in the air so she offered a small smile towards Jack. It wasn't too forced but she was nervous because she didn't know him. "Um. Hey? Not the best way to meet, I'm Eliza," she reaches over with her hand to be friendly with Jack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Matt, this is Mikhail Romanov," Natasha said as she motioned toward her son. "And this, this is Elizaveta Romanova," she said as she motioned toward the newest family member. "This is Matt Murdock and his son Jack," she said to the kids. She sat down, wishing she had vodka to drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Call me Misha." Misha offered his hand to Matt. He was glad Anya wasn't here to see her mother flustered by a man not her father. "Nice to meet you, sir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack took Eliza's hand. "It's awkward, but I think we'll get through it," he said to lighten the mood. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-25 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Matt nodded in the general direction of the others at the table, only a trifle off-angle, and managed to take Misha's hand with only a slight physical awkwardness. "Good to meet you," he manages after a pause, then looks in the direction of the other figure. "Elizaveta... Eliza? sounds like you've been having an interesting couple of days."

	Her face relaxes a little. "Yeah. I certainly didn't see what was going to happen." She takes in the fact Big Nick's is emptied out. "At first I was pretty freaked out. I'm just glad some things aren't so different Da-er, Mr Murdock." Calling him Dad right away would be weird. He is Dad but on the same note he's not really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Listening to Cap is always a good thing," Natasha said. She too was chuckling a bit. "Yes, we will need to talk about school and what you have remaining. An education is important." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Great minds," Misha smiled and picked up his beer. "I know just the school, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Math. I'm horrible at it and it's a requirement for anything so...Why not keep at it?" She shrugs while sipping her drink. "I like history too so I can do that. I'm a decent study with foreign languages too. I'd like to see if I could do Latin though since it's a good basis for anything I decide to major in, probably. Could be fun too."

	"I was home schooled the last two years of high school. Maybe that would be an option." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-26 08:19 am UTC (link)
	Matt nods. "Plenty of options, and all summer to decide. Of course you'd be welcome on either coast." He says sincerely for the record, though he's pretty sure from the sense he's gotten that she would miss the Circus. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There will be publicity. And they'll wonder why she's not in the succession line. James was saved by using Rogers instead of Romanov-Rogers," Misha pointed out. "The more you 'no comment' them, the more they dig, Mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-05-26 08:47 am UTC (link)
	Natasha is used to dealing with children who make their own decisions. Anya had her life planned out already and Misha was finding this path on his own. "There are options. We," she glanced over at Matt, "can sit down and talk about the available options on each coast. Regarding both high school and college." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-26 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Privacy is a pretty precious commodity in these circles," Matt said in acknowledgement of Eliza and Misha's comments. Since he can guess what 'We' Natasha is referring to, he nodded a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
