"Stupid Internet." Daisy grumbled softly to herself, quickly following up with, "Stupid Koenig."
Daisy Johnson had always wanted to meet Natasha Romanoff, and she'd always imagined it being under the worst of circumstances. When she'd first seen the woman back when she was calling herself Skye and a Hacktivist she thought it would be part of a SHIELD interrogation, but not too long after that she had joined the organisation which meant she thought a meeting was inevitable.
Then the unthinkable had happened, it had been revealed that SHIELD had been infiltrated by Hydra and the organisation had been destroyed. She and others had done their best to rebuild it, but in the meantime The Black Widow was busy being an Avenger. Daisy wasn't even sure Agent Romanoff had been offered a chance to return to the organisation, but either way it made a meeting less likely.
She certainly hadn't minded, she had enough on her plate to worry about, but now here she was, Natasha Romanoff walking through the door to Daisy's quarters. It wasn't an interrogation, or gunfight, but it was still the worst of circumstances, because Daisy had been caught researching the fanfiction about herself and The Black Widow.
So again, stupid Koenig, because she wouldn't even be doing this if Agent Sam Koenig hadn't mentioned steamy fanfiction between them, and their ridiculous couple name of Quack, which had stuck in her mind until she just couldn't avoid the curiosity, and now she was so embarrassed she could feel her cheeks going bright red. Then she had a horrible thought.
"Are you a robot?" Daisy asked.
"No." Natasha laughed softly as she slowly came into the room, "I know why you might think that, but then worry. I'm here an official Avenger business."
All Daisy could reply was, "Oh?"
"I know what you're thinking, why me?" Natasha smiled disarmingly as she continued approaching, "Well, I just wanted to let Phil know we're good. I was mad at him for a while for not telling me he was alive, but in the exchange for helping him get Melinda back-."
"What!" Daisy claimed, unable to stop herself from fan-girling for a second, "That's... that's great. I look forward to working with you."
"I'm glad to hear it." Natasha grinned, sitting down in the chair opposite Daisy, "Because part of the reason I'm here is to talk to you about joining The Avengers."
Using all of her training to force her face to remain neutral Daisy took a breath and admitted, "I'd love too, but SHIELD needs me."
"And I admire that." Natasha smiled, "But I have experienced turning a no, into a yes. So, would you be open to a negotiation? The Avengers has a great deal of resources at it's disposal, and I'm authorised to offer you anything within my power to give you."
Despite all her training Daisy just couldn't stop herself from blushing, and of course the other woman picked up on that, so Daisy quickly blurted out, "Thanks, but I'm busy enough with SHIELD. You know how it is."
"I do." Natasha agreed, a smile crossing her face as she added, "To tell you the truth, I always found the worst part was the paperwork."
"I know, right?" Daisy laughed, "That's one thing they don't advertise about being a superhero."
"I highly doubt that Luke Cage and that guy in the devil costume running around New York have to do paperwork." Natasha said dryly.
"Some people have all the luck." Daisy grumbled.
"Is that what you're doing now?" Natasha asked, raising an eyebrow, "Paperwork?"
"Well, no..." Daisy admitted, and then to her horror Natasha suddenly grabbed the laptop turned around and looked at it, "HEY!"
"Ah, Agent Koenig told you about the fanfiction." Natasha smirked, keeping the laptop just out of Daisy's reach as she confirmed her suspicions, "Oh, a Quack one. I'm flattered."
"Oh God." Daisy whined, burying her face in her hands.
"You're even reading one of the smutty ones." Natasha grinned, having a lot of fun with this, "I tend to avoid those. Not I'm embarrassed, but because I don't think they ever quite do the experience justice. But some of the fluff is quite nice, and fanart has a really bad rap, but there are some really good artists out there. I can send a few of my favourites to you, if you'd like. There's even a cute one of the two of us."
"Please stop." Daisy groaned, still unable to look at the other woman.
Pausing to push the laptop back towards it's owner Natasha informed the other woman, "You know if you just want to fuck me, I'd be more than happy to oblige. Either in exchange for joining The Avengers, or just for fun."
"Really?" Daisy murmured in disbelief, pulling her head out of her hands and staring at the goddess in front of her.
"Really." Natasha confirmed with a grin, "Agent Johnson, you're an Agent of SHIELD. You must have heard stories about me. And what I do to pretty things like you."
Daisy blushed, "I, I thought they were just stories."
Natasha smirked, "Do you want to find out?"
There was about a second of hesitation on Daisy's part, then she replied, "Hell yeah."
The only reason for that brief hesitation was because it felt too good to be true, but Daisy had personally hooked up the metal detectors all around the base, and regularly checked and double checked they were still working, so she was 99% sure this wasn't an LMD sent to distract her.
Or kill her. Although it became hard to care when she leaned forward to press her lips against the other woman's. When she kissed Natasha Romanoff! And oh God, Natasha Romanoff kissed back, meaning that Daisy was officially making out with The Black Widow, making this like the best day ever. As long as this was for real, and at least for right now Daisy refused to believe otherwise.
Strategically a Black Widow LMD would be completely out of left field, because again the real Agent Romanoff wasn't part of SHIELD any more and hadn't stepped foot inside this building before. More importantly nobody knew about Daisy's massive crush on the gorgeous redhead.
Not even her best friend Jemma Simmons, although that was mostly because it would open up a massive can of worms, probably leading to Daisy revealing that she was in love with Jemma, who was practically married at this point to Fitz. So even if it was a little difficult getting over the initial shock Daisy tried to shut off her brain and just enjoy kissing her favourite superhero.
Natasha had always liked kissing. It was one of the most effective weapons in her arsenal. Certainly nothing was more distracting, which was once again proven as Natasha was able to lower Daisy down onto the table without the Inhuman noticing.
