Natasha jumped from a tree to the next. She was holding a plasma gun in her hand that she fired behind her.

Her aim was at her husband, donning a white cowl, a broad sword in his right hand; his left hand was in the shape of the black claw. He effortlessly swatted away the plasma ball with the black claws, firing orbs that were withered the trees they touched towards her.

Natasha smiled, jumping in the air, with her head towards the floor as the plasma cannon turned into a sniper rifle, pointing towards Jay.

She fired a shot made of an adamantine bullet, meant to pierce his forehead, but the mask appeared in front of his forehead, stopping the bullet.

The sniper gun disappeared, turning into two assault rifles, "How about this?"

Jay chuckled as he pointed the air in front of him, and the directions of the bullets that reached him changed, shooting back towards Natasha. But the sky regalia on her feet hummed, twisting the atmosphere to create a wall that blocked even adamantine bullets.

"You?" Natasha narrowed her eyes, "Then I am going to go for the big stuff."

She just said when the white light flashed, and Jay appeared in front of her, with two clawed fingers around her neck, his clawed hand rested on her chest, "Do you want to kill your husband?"

Natasha put her hands around his neck, smiling, "Really? Just this much is enough to kill you? I highly doubt that."

She watched as a warm smile appeared on Jay's red lips, making her heart pace faster, hearing him say, "I am weak."

Natasha narrowed her eyes, brushing her thumb against the back of his neck, "You, my love...are the most handsome man that I have ever met. This cowl makes you look even better...but black hair suit you more. They go with your eyes."

Jay softly smiled, placing his lips on hers, "Flattery won't get you out of the situation."

Natasha smiled, shaking her head, "I don't want to...but I was just thinking. You keep saying that you are weak...but I have a feeling that you are not. You are hiding something."

Jay chuckled, removing his left hand from her chest, putting it on her back, kissing her cheek, "You spy habits still haven't left. You just have to dig under the surface...Lavena gets that from you."

Natasha curled her lips, "Don't push that one me...that's totally one you. Should have just removed the memory from Illyana's mind."

"Trust me...it wouldn't have been useful," Jay hesitated, "Ever since Lavena was born...there has been this information in my mind...I am not a human."

Natasha raised her eyebrow, "Doesn't surprise me...what are you?"

"I don't know...I don't remember," Jay was a bit frustrated, "Forget it...I do know the extent of her powers. Erasing memory wouldn't work on her."

Natasha put her head on his shoulder, "I am worried...what if she rebels? We can't even stop her."

Jay put his hand on her wrist, touching the watch, closing his eyes, "Slowly...get used to this power. Go on as many Omega Flight Mission, and you'll get stronger. First to get stronger will be your body, mind, soul."

Natasha softly cupped his neck, kissing his lips, closing her eyes, "One last thing...how strong are you?"

"Just what you see before you," Jay kissed her forehead, kissing her lips, sucking on them.

Natasha didn't kiss him back, just calmly watching him, making Jay stop, slumping his head, "Ordinarily...what you see before you. But if necessary..."

Jay whispered something in Natasha's ear, making her smile, kissing his cheek, "Good. That puts me at ease."

Natasha moved forward to kiss him when her cell started ringing, making her put her hand in her body suit's pocket. She put it on speakerphone, "Nick?"

"Natasha, we are under attack."

Natasha narrowed her eyes, "Jay and I are coming."

"No, the one that is attacking us is someone like Amora; men are no use against us. She already has Hulk and Iron Man under her control. We can't send more men into the fray."

Natasha frowned, "I am coming."

The virtual forest around them disappeared as Natasha hastily kissed Jay, "I'll be back."

Jay nodded, curling his lips when Natasha chuckled, kissing his lips, "Sweety, forgive Fury already."

"No, I am going to be petty," Jay rolled his eyes as the cowl disappeared.

Natasha chuckled, "Sometimes you can be so cute."

Garden,

Jay waved his hand, seeing Natasha disappear in the sky, when he turned to Lavena, "Mama has gone to work. What should we do?"

Lavena pouted, "I am still angry at Papa. Bad Papa, Liar Papa."

Jay chuckled, walking over to the table, putting his cell on it, tapping on it. A game of holographic chess appeared on it, "Come, love. Play chess with me."

Lavena tightened her jaw, trying to resist, but she couldn't help walk over and sit down in front of him, "I'll just beat you in chess!"

She eagerly looked at the board when she noticed a board filled with pawns. There was a queen on one side and two queens on the other.

"What is this?"

Jay picked up the white queen, "It's a game of real-world chess. This queen has the power to take control of male pieces, which is why only other queens can defeat her."

"My queens?" Lavena picked up her pieces, curiously looking at them.

Jay nodded, "Now, this evil queen has taken the richest man and the strongest man on Earth."

Jay put two pawns beside the white queen, which turned into Iron Man and Hulk.

"Now, what will you do?"

Lavena hesitated, looking at her queens and pawns, "How strong are my queens?"

Jay smiled, "One of them can defeat the three, while the other is resourceful."

Lavena's eyes started darting around the board, her childlike aura started to disappear, "If I was the evil queen...I have the strongest man and richest...no w...I need a strategist that helps me make the most efficient plan...an inside man that keeps an eye on the actions of the women who can defeat me. A man that could give me information on the weaknesses of the women that could defeat me. Where are these three?"

Jay turned one of the white pawns into Nick Fury, "The one that can be your inside man and give you the information you need."

"No, the two can't be the same," Lavena shook her head, "Inside man can only contact me when necessary, or he will leave behind clues. If he leaves behind clues, he could be figured out and used against me."

Jay chuckled, "Let's just say that the evil queen doesn't have the strategist yet. Or she would have understood this."

"Oh," Lavena was starting to become excited, "Then, then, what about the protection of this pawn?"

"He is the second most protected."

"Who's the first?"

"The strategist, protecting by the Scarlet Queen herself," Jay turned one of the white queens into Wanda, with a pawn behind her into himself.

Lavena clapped her hands, "Good!! Does the Scarlet Queen know about me? The evil queen?"

"No."

"Then! I will take out the Scarlet Queen from the board, not through the power...but-" Lavena was speaking when the hologram disappeared, and Jay's cell started ringing.

Lavena puffed her cheeks, about to cut the call when Jay stopped her hand, "Always have all the information that you can get."

Lavena confusedly looked at him when Jay picked up the call, "Wanda?"

"Jay! I got an amazing deal offer from Tony! It seems Oscorbs created something marvelous! I am going to see it so take care of the children?"

"Those two are with Pietro," Jay smiled, "He took them and Illyana to some kind of carnival."

"Lavena didn't go?"

"No. Lavena was still sulking," Jay chuckled.

"Ok, then take her yourself; the two of you should spend some time. I'll be back by dinner."

"All the best, love."

"Love you too!"

Jay cut the call, and the chessboard reappeared in front of Lavena.

Lavena's face had calmed down as if she had lost all her emotions. She moved and put the Scarlet Queen to the side, "This one is out."

She moved toward the other queen, "And this one has been called away."

Lavena looked at the chessboard from above, being able to see pieces that weren't there.

Jay watched her thinking face, seeing her tuck her hair that was the color of dried blood. He could almost see her grown-up self, making a smile appear on his lips.

"If I am invading the territory to get to the strategist, then I would have to get a pierce that gives me access," Lavena picked up the piece, which turned into Quicksilver.

"Now that the queens are out of the way, and I have access. As a bonus, I have three pieces that I think will keep the Scarlet Queen away and keep the strategists in place. I will move towards the fourth pawn...and kidnap...me," Lavena tilted her head when there was a silver flash, and she disappeared.

Jay chuckled before his chuckle turned into laughter, clapping his hands, "Brilliant, as expected of my girl. You figured it out."
