9 Chapter 9 Adoption

After driving for 20 minutes we arrived at the nearest Mcdonald, I had seen it once or twice after Vernon brought a packet with their food home, but I have never tasted it.

Natasha parks her car in front of the entrance and after getting out of the car she walked towards my side and open it for me.

I got out of the car, and even though my face wasn't showing it, I am very excited, for two simple reasons.

First, I saw my tortures get beaten up, and from the reaction Coulson had when he heard my story, I am sure they won't get out scot-free.

Second, I am getting a burger, I think my first real meal since I was born, and I am pretty pumped for it.

We walked towards the building, and got inside, Natasha asked what I wanted, and after ordering almost half of the menu, we sat down at a nearby free table.

After a few minutes of silence, the food arrived, and I looked at it with glowing eyes.

"... Can I?" I asked with real doubt, just hoping that all of this wasn't a dream or a sick joke conveyed by my uncle.

" Of course." She said with a warm smile.

So I started eating, and let me tell you, I never tasted something so good, the best I had ever eaten was when I stole a cooked sausage after cooking breakfast, but this is much better.

With each food I ate, a notification telling me I had activated a healing effect also appeared.

After wolfing down all the food by myself I slowly continued drinking the milkshake I had not touched until now, while putting my back against the seat, a smile could be seen on my face, this was the happiest day of my life.

" Natasha." She said.

That snapped me out of my dream world of burgers and got me back to reality.

" What?"

" I am Natasha, you can call me Nat if it's easier, and you are Harry right?"

I simply nodded and continued drinking.

"Are you happy?" She asked.

" Happy? This is the best day of my life." I instantly replied to her question with an excited tone.

" Good... after you finish your drink we will have to get to a place, then you will meet some gloomy people that will ask you questions, is it ok for you?"

" I am 10, not 9, and soon to be 11, I can take some questions."

She laughed at the remark and waited for me.

After I finally finished my drink we got back to the car and started heading to the base they had mentioned before.

.

.

.

" Full Name?"

" Harry James Potter."

"Age?"

"10 soon to be 11."

" Current location?"

" A gloomy place."

He continued writing some things while I was sitting in a room with a mirror, a metal table, and a metal seat, all in all, I have seen worse places, but this isn't soo gloomy.

" Reason why you are here?"

" A super cool woman called Nat brought me here after beating my Uncle's ass."

He smile a bit at the remark but didn't stop writing.

" Would you prefer going to an orphanage or staying with agent Black Widow?"

" Who?"

" Nat."

" Oooooh, Nat," I said instantly.

She is my hero, gave me food, and was gentle, why in my entire life would I want to go to an orphanage?

" Noted, wait here." He said and then got out of the room through the only door present.

.

.

.

" No."

" I don't accept a no," Nat said.

In front of her, is a hologram of a black man wearing black clothes.

" I have already passed over the fact you ruined a mission by revealing your identity since the kid was in a dangerous situation, but I can't accept you adopting him."

" Why not?"

" You know why I can't accept, don't make me sound like a monster."

" Because I wouldn't be as good of an agent with a kid?"

" Yes."

" Fury, I have been an agent since I was a child, I have served Russia and then America for as long I can remember, I have never asked you anything, I always risked my life, so I am just asking you one thing in return, let me adopt the kid."

"... You know in less than a week he will receive the letter right?." He asked.

" I know, and I don't care, I want to become her mother not because I want him near me but so that he has someone to come back to."

"... *Sigh fine you can adopt him."

A big smile appeared on Nat's face, a smile Fury hadn't seen on her face for quite some time.

She immediately rushed out of the room and headed towards the room where Harry was, just in time to see her friend, Clint, get out.

" How is he?"

"Calmer than I thought he would be, he is smarter than the kids his age and was able to understand the situation pretty fast."

" I thought the same when he saw me beat his Uncle he didn't look scared, actually he smiled and said *cool*."

" Of course, he would, for him you are his knight in shining armour." He said while smiling.

" Did you ask him?"

" He said he would prefer staying with you."

Her eyes glowed in happiness, and before Clint could say anything else she stormed inside.

" Guess she finally got the family she wanted."

.

.

.

" Welcome home." She said after opening the door of her lake mansion, seriously thought, how big was this house?

" Is this seriously yours?"

" Our, and it was given to me by a friend so that we could live here in England."

" That's so cool," I said while starting to run around and look at all the furniture.

After running for 5 minutes Nat grabbed me from the ground while running and put me in front of her face as if I was a cat.

" First thing a bath."

" What's a bath?"
