"I do advise you only let them touch for now, so you can slowly adjust to the increased divinity."

I nod and will them close within my soul, I do not really feel anything, but apparently, over time they will still absorb power but feed it to me as balanced divinity now. With the balance it will mean my own personality will be dominant, God save us all.

"Okay, I'll head to Mercury and fuse them there when I feel I am stable, how are the clones from Cadmus?"

"Doing well, very easy to work with and adapt. I think they would be better off with a hive mind though, something to consider."

I return to my shop and relax, as time slowly rolls forward.

A few months later we hear the news, that Tony Stark has been kidnapped.

The next day Fury, the 2 Nats, Steve, and 2 Peggy's arrive at the store, as they enter they are once again in my Venus home.

Fury nods to all then sits down, "Are you able to get Agents into the agency?" I ask.

Fury nods, "Should not be a problem, will they have talents we can show off to justify it?"

I grin, "Lady Ion, please stop the growth, dress them and I will call them through."

I look at Fury, "They are a race called Geonomes, they are clones purpose-built. Each and every one has its own personality, but they are part of my hive mind. We gave them all the skills equal to the Black Widow, with a greatly enhanced body. They all have additional powers that you are fine to know, but no one else."

Fury nods, "It will be easier to bring them in if they have skills I can show off."

A portal opens and slowly 40 very attractive women walk in, all smiling brightly.

Fury looks at me quizzingly, "Hey, the Goddess of Knowledge shaped them, although I am not complaining."

"I can set them up as a special squad, so why are we bringing them in?"

I look at Steve who sighs, "To fight Hydra."

"Mother Fuc*er"

Steve resists the urge to comment, this time cursing is valid.

With a sigh, Steve starts to explain the Hydra infiltration to Fury, then about Iron Man's first villain battle and how it can be used to show off Shields's new team.

In the events of 2011, Whiplash, Hulk, and Thor, Joel adds his plans for Asgard, this is all recounted. The moment Tony was kidnapped the process of freeing Steve from the ice began the world changed direction.

"We all agree to stop there? There are various events after that, but we have time to handle them after these are taken care of, Fury, you okay with the list of Hydra agents?"

Fury nods, "Oh yes, I have plans for them."

We all nod and Fury, along with his new recruits appear in one of his safe houses.

"Are you guys ready to greet him?" I ask out of curiosity.

They nod and Steve explains, "I recall how I felt, he will have his Peggy right there, it will make the adjustment a lot easier."

I nod and look to Lady Widow, "How are the two of you doing?"

She grins, "We have taken total control of the Red Room and Dreykov does not know, I healed his daughter and did my best to heal her mind, right now he thinks she is having an episode but she is living a happy life within her mind to help her heal."

I nod and smile, "Good."

Lady Widow gets up and heads out of the room while Nat smiles.

Widow's slim figure slips out of the room, casting one last over-the-shoulder glance as the door closes, a hint of intrigue twinkling in her emerald eyes. The chatter from the other group becomes a dull drone in the background as I watch Widow depart.

A few moments later, a message pops up on my communicator. It's from Nat, she wants to discuss something privately in one of the unused rooms. Intrigued, I excuse myself from this universe's Nat who smirks at me, I make a mental note to return as soon as possible and find out what that was about.

The room the message guided me towards was dimly lit, cloaked in an intimate blanket of shadows. As I step inside, the door discreetly closes behind me with an almost silent click that resonates within the quiet space. Nat is perched on the edge of an old leather sofa, a small smirk pulling at her lips.

"Happy Birthday," she murmurs softly, her voice barely above a whisper. A surprise jolts through me, I hadn't expected anyone to remember, heck I had forgotten. She continues, "You're an adult now." Her tone is teasing yet seductive, laced with a newfound warmth that sends a shiver down my spine.

She stands and glides towards me, her every move practiced and precise. Her fingers trace their way up my arm, sending sparks of electricity coursing through my veins, almost burning me with their touch. 

Our gazes lock, hers are like two emerald orbs gleaming under the soft lighting. There is a dangerous allure in those eyes, one that lures me in and holds me captive.

Suddenly reality fades away, it's just Nat and me in our own secluded world. She leans in closer until our bodies are just inches apart. That's when I feel it, a wild current humming between us like a silent pledge of desire about to be fulfilled.

She pulls me onto the sofa with her; the softly woven branches creak under our combined weights. Her lips find mine in a kiss that sends every sense into overdrive. It's untamed, raw, full of pent-up passion that sends us spiraling into an abyss of bliss.

The world outside the room fades into oblivion, replaced by Nat's intoxicating aura and the feeling of her being pressed against me. We explore each other with a fervor that only years of suppressed longing can fuel. (Hey, for a teenager it feels like forever.)

Time loses its meaning as we surrender to the whirlwind of emotions engulfing us. It's passionate and intense, a dance as old as time itself. The rest of the world doesn't matter now, everything else can wait. This moment, right here, right now, with Nat... it's perfect.

As I lay with her naked body squeezed against mine I feel a sense of loss knowing she is doing this only for a child, although at the same time, I feel proud she chose me.

Although we do not require sleep, we do this night. In the morning we both wake together, Nat gently leans close and kisses my cheek.

"Thank you, I know for immortals it is not something that happens in one go, but the fact you are even willing to respect my selfish desire means a lot to me."

I chuckle, "You say this like I am losing out. You might not want a father for your child, but I will keep a close eye on him, it would be impossible not to."

Nat nods, "I understand, I am not even sure I am doing the right thing, but all the books and advice I got say a god's children grow up super fast physically, so I am hoping having me will be enough."

"You will be an amazing mother, and know that I will always be willing to step in. Of course I am hopping we need to try many more times before it works, " I say with a grin.

Nat laughs happily.
