Clint had blocked Natasha out of his mind while on his date. He had made these plans long before their paths crossed again. It was supposed to be a nice dinner, supposed to be. It all went according to plan until Tony Stark showed up at his table, saying he bought the restaurant as a waiter pushed another table together with the one Clint and his date was sitting at.

"Why are you really here Stark? Shouldn't you be busy inventing something?" Clint said with a cheerful looking expression as he hugged Tony, like he hadn't seem him in a while. It was really a chance to subtly threaten him about what would happen if he wrecked his date.

"You didn't tell me that about a certain someone being back in town. I had to find out when she showed up on my doorstep, looking dejected and alone." Tony sat down next to Clint's date and gave her a flashy smile as he started introducing himself to her, going all out with the charms.

Natasha sneaked up behind him and weaved her way past Clint, seating herself across from Tony. She didn't look dejected or lonely like he lied. She looked like she was having a fun time as she introduced herself to Clint's date as well. "Bobbi? I'm Natasha, it's so nice to meet you. Tony and I went to school with Clint."

He knew he wouldn't win this battle, so Clint sat down at the combined table and tried to enjoy what was left of the night. He had a small hope that Tony would get bored and want to leave soon enough, but he didn't want to rely on that.

After they all made polite small talk for fifteen or so minutes, Bobbi excused herself to the powder room and Natasha said she needed to go as well and went with her. Clint used this as a chance to get information out of Tony, with the help of a steak knife that he stabbed between his fingers. "You're a dead man Stark. I can't believe you went along with this."

Tony wiggled his fingers to make sure they were all attached. He raised his hands up to his chest in surrender with a grin. "Take it easy Barton, I didn't know that there was a plan. She called me and said she was back and wanted to go out to dinner and apologize for the stunt she pulled when she stole something from me. If I knew I was getting front row tickets to jealousy starring you and Romanoff, I would have brought popcorn."

Clint sighed, because he knew Tony had a point, he would have brought popcorn and invited guests. He would just make the most out of the evening and pray that no one would get injured.




The rest of the evening was uneventful. Dinner went well, Natasha and Tony acted like normal people, well as normal as Tony could get and as much as Natasha could pretend to be. They had left Clint and Bobbi after the main course when Natasha said she'd rather get dessert some place else. He figured that she would just go back to her own apartment, but was surprised to see her painting her drying freshly painted toe nails while cleaning a gun. She looked over her shoulder as he just stared at her and said "hey."

"Hey? That's what you got after crashing my date with Stark?" Clint took off his coat and tossed it on the arm rest of the sofa before loosening his tie. He wasn't impressed that she came back and went to the kitchen to get a beer and was met with a new order of egg rolls. He shoved a whole one in his mouth before going back in the same room as Natasha. He washed it down with his beer, but not before half choking on it.

"She's seems nice." Natasha put down the gun she was cleaning when he came back in. He scoffed at her statement, obviously not taking it at face value.

He sat next to her on the couch and handed her the egg roll container as he put the beer down on the table so he could turn on the television instead. "If I look in my room, am I going to find all your things moved in?"

Natasha had a bottle of top coat in her hand now, shaking it up to get ready for a coat. She nodded as she pulled out a freshly cut key that matched the one to his apartment. "Land lady gave it to me when Stark dropped me off, she said she'd bring over a casserole tomorrow since she's seen too many take menues in your mailbox."

"This is all your fault Dean. You leave your car keys lying around on the kitchen table after I tell you that they both lost their car privileges." Maron was angry. She was seven months pregnant, again, and just had the police drop Natasha and Clint off.

Dean and Yukimi weren't listening at all, they were both inspecting Dean's baby for scratches or any other sign of damage that could have happened when two sixteen year old wizards sneak out with a badass car. "Damn it, I said sorry six times already. Do I need it to say it a seventh time to match your pregnancy month and how many kids you actually have?"

"Hey, we don't have seven kids. We have five." Yukimi hit Dean's arm and gave him a glare. Dean's mistake would cost him a night in the dog house if he wasn't careful. He didn't want to spend the night in the tree house since the couch was occupied by two cats and a dog.

This had all started when Natasha and Clint had gone out to a party the night before. It was the usual rules, be back by midnight and come back together. The usual rules went out the door somewhere along the night and Clint came back by himself at 4 am covered in mud, slamming every door he went through. Natasha showed up after 5am, also covered in mud, followed by Tony Stark, asking where his waffle payment was for picking up Natasha in the middle of nowhere.

A shouting match ensued between Clint, Natasha, Maron and Yukimi while Tony and Dean sat at the kitchen table, eating blueberry waffles and making side commentary on who would win which fight. Needless to say, Clint and Natasha were grounded from going out by themselves unless it was to take any of the younger children anywhere if the adults couldn't, excluding Dean since he doesn't count as an adult.

The next night, Dean had left his keys on the counter after coming back from a burger place, just in time for a game on tv that he and Yukimi had planned on watching. Maron was out for a walk with Yoite and Siobhan, and the younger kids were already in bed. So when Clint and Natasha saw the keys just laying on the table, they decided to finish what they had started the other night.

Four hours later, the police brought back Clint and Natasha, covered in mud, bruises and blood. None of which was on the car luckily; they liked Dean after all, he knew that some times kids needed to go do stupid stuff. Keeping the car safe was their insurance on keeping stupid stuff a secret. They just hoped that the inside of the trunk looked fine.

The police certainly didn't notice it, but the three adults heard the thumping from the trunk. Dean opened it slowly and peaked in, and shut it again, trying not to laugh. Maron pushed him aside and opened it fully to see a teenage boy tied up with duct tape on his mouth.

"Doesn't this remind you of Thobari?" Yukimi laughed as he ripped the tape off the kids mouth quickly, remembering when he and Dean tossed him in the trunk and drove for three hours to a football match.

The boy spewed some curse words as Maron yelled at the house, where Natasha and Clint were watching from a window, pleased as punch about their hard work. "Tell that ass that we catch that ass screwing around again, we'll make sure the police find him." Natasha shouted as she opened the window, ignoring everything Maron said.

Dean and Yukimi gave the boy a look that made him fidget as he worked on getting himself untied. "I heard ya the first time when that bastard knocked me out." he shouted back and glared at Clint who gave a condescending wave.

"I don't want to know what you did to piss our kids off, but you obviously deserved it so just get out of here and go back home." Maron snapped as she went back inside, rubbing her eyes in the process.

Yukimi shot Clint and Natasha a look that said they had to clean out the Impala's trunk first thing in the morning. Once Maron was far away enough, he gave them an 'Alright, you guys won!' look. High fives would come later though, after the lecture.

Once the cats and dog were cleared off the couch and towels were put down for the two mud monsters to sit down on, Maron just looked at them with her best mom face and waited for an explanation.

"It's all because Clint is a jealous prat that this happened. If he hadn't over reacted, I wouldn't have had to deal with that other asshole."

"Maybe you shouldn't flirt with guys who are total douchebags."

"I guess I'll never speak to you again if that's the case."

"Jesus, it's you two all over again" Dean muttered under his breath with a grin.

"She dressed like a tart and I called her on it so she goes and starts chatting up assholes like him."

"If I didn't we wouldn't have noticed him slipping things in to girls drinks. I told Clint and we decided it was our civic duty to do the right thing and kick that guys ass."

"We just got separated along the way last night and finished up business tonight."

The two and a half adults in the room just stared at the mud covered Clint and Natasha for a moment before Dean brought up a point that he thought was valid. "Next time, don't use my car for kidnapping. Steal one, but wear gloves."

Maron erupted and Yukimi tried to calm her down as her and Dean started to argue. They forgot about the two teenagers sitting on the couch and didn't notice them go up stairs to go get cleaned off and go to bed.

When Natasha Romanoff walked in to a big wig wizarding party, the last thing she expected to see was Clint Barton. She expected the odd familiar face from school, any kid who was a pure blood, but not a muggle born kid with a cockney accent. She didn't know why he was there at first, but when she found her mark, she knew why he was there.

Natasha sat at her table, in complete disguise as the mark came up, with Clint less than an arms length away at all times. This changed her plan, but not enough to make her worry. She would just have to be creative. Aside from Clint showing up, everything went as planned. Her target was across from her, making small talk, saying it was a shame that a woman so young is already a widow.

"The Ministry seems to think that I'm in danger, and have sent one of their rookies to follow me around. He's quite the stick in the mud."

Natasha feigned disinterest in looking at Clint as the subject came up, only casting a rolled glanced before returning her gaze back to her intended victim. "They wouldn't send just anyone to watch you though. Surely he must have some sort of skill. Right Mr...?"

She watched Clint, and he looked like he wasn't bothered but she deep down he was probably insulting everyone at the table inside his head. He cleared his throat and made eye contact with her for a brief moment before going back to scoping the room. "Barton. And yes, I have some skill."

They didn't address him again for some time until Natasha knew it was time to get the job over and done with. Natasha put on a pair of gloves she had in her purse and excused herself, saying she had a bit too much to drink. She pretended to stumble, catching herself on the arm of her mark. He forgave her and gave her hand a reassuring pat, not knowing that the gloves were covered in poison.

"Barton, go see how Ms Rushman is doing."

Clint went to take his order without thought and remembered why Rushman sounded familiar, it was an alias that Natasha used when they were teenagers and got in trouble during the holidays. As he walked down the hall, he wondered where she was now and if she was at least some form of happy.

He turned the corner and saw a red headed maid leave the bathroom and raised his voice. "Is Ms Rushman alright? I have to watc-"

Natasha turned around to face him. She was no longer in disguise, well, the maid costume was a disguise but she looked like how she was supposed to look. She didn't say anything, she just watched him work out the details himself, and figured that she had about two minutes before she had to clear out entirely.

"Couldn't come up with a new alias? And a widow? You're a little young for that." He scratched at his eyebrow as he took a step forward. He had his wand out for the whole night, but now he had it in his hand, ready for use.

She moved towards him, not giving away any expression on her face, except indifference. She didn't expect him to back up from her and she was correct in that assumption. He stayed where he was as she raised her hands to his face and pulled it close to hers. She leaned up to him and put her lips against his cheek for a soft kiss before whispering in his ear. "Don't touch the gloves."

He pulled away and saw that her hands were bare and realized the gloves she had on earlier must be in the bathroom. The same gloves that the man he was supposed to be watching had touched.

At that moment he heard shouting from the dining room and became distracted. He turned towards the sound stupidly, forgetting how close Natasha was to him. He realized his error when he felt the wind knocked out him when she hit him in the stomach. Clint stumbled backwards as he saw her take off down the hall.

Character Information
Name: Violet Parr
Canon Origin/Series: The Incredibles
School Year: Fourth
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Out of school living location: London, yes, London. Where else is all the crime fighting? Okay, maybe in Stab city aka Limerick, but I'm going with London. Final answer
Blood status: PUREBLOOD!

Personality:

Violet keeps to herself at the beginning of her canon. She shies away from people at school, even using her invisibility as a means to do it. She likes people though, even having a crush on a boy in school. With her family she's sarcastic and comes off as depressed, this mainly stems from their parents insistence that they all hide their powers and be normal. While going around and acting normal when she isn't is a sore spot for her. Violet actually wants to be normal like other kids, and having to wish she was invisible after something embarrassing happens to her, instead of actually turning invisible. She has little self esteem about herself and keeps her hair covering her face and is constantly seen wearing baggy oversized clothes.

She's not afraid of fighting with her little brother, Dash, because let's face it, little brothers can be dicks when they go all "She would be eating if we were having Tony loaf." She argues with her mom as well, being the main force of wanting them to be normal. She still loves her family, but she still argues with them. She is responsible enough to be left in charge of her brothers, and knows when to call a sitter if her and Dash have to skip out and help save the world. As her father fights more crime and their mother knows something is up, she can tell that there is strain on their marriage and is concerned for them.

Towards the end of the film, Violet grows in to a confident young lady, getting some self esteem and confidence about her powers and abilities. She starts putting her hair back so you can see her face and dressing nicely. She even asks her crush out on a movie date, when only a short while earlier, she just turned invisible and creepily stared at him. With this confidence, she powers grew as well and she was able to create larger shields in the heat of battle to save her family.

Canon Background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredibles

Background (AU!Canon; HP):

Sixteen years ago two Aurors met while on the job, it was a match made in heaven. He was like 'hey this is crazy, but I just met yo-' and she cut him off and said "Get fexible, then owl me maybe.' Robert and Helen Parr were soon married and continued to catch Dark Wizards, until one day Robert blew the statute of secrecy and they had to make some serious life style changes. Robert took an office job in the Auror department and they decided to finally start a family. A year later their frist child was born. Violet Parr was a gifted witch from the get go, she gave her parents a scare a few times by accidently turning invisible at the age of three, it was a stressful week to say the least. Her brother Dash came soon after and was a wizard who loved to show off. As they became older their parents had to explain to them about not using magic in public, it wasn't easy for them to accept though. It was for more than not telling muggles, it was also because their parents were aurors and the wizarding was was going on and no one was safe. Life wasn't getting any easier because Robert couldn't give up the life of an active duty auror. He'd go out with an auror buddy and catch dark wizards in his spare time. It got so bad that they had to start moving once a year. Eventually Violet started growing up and became reclusive because of having to hide the fact that she was a witch. She saw muggle kids having fun and being normal, something she couldn't do but desperatly wanted. Her parents tried to explain but it wasn't much use. The letter to Hogwarts eventually came and she was thrilled, she had a chance to actually use magic around people just like herself. When she got to Hogwarts she had a bit of trouble using magic in front of other people because she wasn't used to it. There was also the problem of her family being pureblood during the war, it was something that Violet didn't vocalize because of the bad reputation purebloods were getting.

How would your character fit in to each House?

Gryffindor: She's a super hero in canon, it screams Gryffindor. She's not so ballsy at the get go, but push comes to shove and she's got what it takes.

Hufflepuff: She's dependable enough to call the sitter when her and Dash sneak on to an airplane to help save their dad.

Ravenclaw:

Slytherin: She's not really driven, except to blend in.

Sample Journal Entry:

Mom really wants us to take a trip to Brighton this summer, but Dad's trying to get out of it. He keeps saying 'what if something happens?' I think she's going to win this time though since she talked to Aunt Honey in to going. If Uncle Lucius is going, dad will go.

I don't really care if we go, it's not like I'm going to have much fun. Dash is bringing a friend, maybe I can too so they won't try to read my journal out loud at dinner.

Character Information
Name: Katniss Everdeen
Canon Origin/Series: The Hunger Games
School Year: fifth
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Out of school living location: Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire
Blood status: Halfblood

Personality: Katniss Everdeen starts out as a girl who is only concerned with staying alive and making sure her family does as well. She doesn't bother making more than two friends and doesn't bother acting like a sixteen year old girl. Boys? She can beat most of them. Hair ribbon? She has a rubber band for that. Rainbows? Something that existed when her father was alive and she could be carefree and sing songs all day long. Her concern for staying alive never really changes, even when she takes her sisters place as the female tribute for District 12. She knows that she has a chance to win, with her hunting and tracking skills that she used to keep herself alive. Her family and friends mean everything to her, she put her name in extra times, just to get food for her family and keep them alive. She isn't a big fan of kind people, because they get inside fo her easily and could disappoint you. An example is that Peeta's father brought her some cookies before she left to the Capitol and promised to make sure her sister was fed, she ended up throwing them away later, thinking it a ploy to get in her head. She doesn't trust Peeta because he's kind and assumes he has an alternative motive for confessing his love for her, boy is she mistaken. She ended up using his feelings for her as a way to keep them alive later in the games, knowing how to play the crowd in to helping them. It wasn't until the games were almost over that she really began to worry about what would happen if they both won. What would happen to the feelings she faked, or thought she was faking, because he really did end up worming his way in to her heart. That didn't stop her from telling him that she lied about loving him to keep them alive and getting them home.

She's loyal to her friends, or innocent (pet like) people. Her prep team is held captive later on and she finds them in horrible conditions. Even though they were responsible for dressing her up and making her pretty for the games, she knew it was wrong to treat them that way. They were raised that way and didn't know any better. So she took a stand and had them released and helped them adjust to their new life outside of the Capitol.

Later on in the series, she agrees to become the inspiration for the rebellion against the Capitol, even if it means following orders, which she hates and occasionally ditches her timetables. She doesn't like acting a certain way on command and found that she's more inspiring in the heat of the moment when her feelings aren't being faked for a camera. She knows that people died for the rebellion to happen and puts her all in to it.

In a nutshell, she's stubborn, selfish and will do what ever it takes to stay alive.

Canon Background: http://thehungergames.wikia.com/wiki/Katniss_Everdeen

Background (AU!Canon; HP): Katniss Everdeen is a half-blood witch on her Mothers side of the family. She has a younger sister named Primrose, or just Prim. He mother was born in to a family of healers and learned the trade as well. She was expected to take over the family healing business, but she fell in love with a muggle man. Her family didn't understand it, and they knew she had a soft spot for music, something that he was very talented at. She married him and left her family to start her own with a coal miner from Edwinstowe. She gave up her magic during their marriage, and never brought it up to him, not even after their two daughters were born. Katniss was like her father in every way. She liked the wilderness and outdoors, hunting and inherited his gift of music. He taught her everything he knew about the woods, plants and animals.

Katniss had an early happy childhood, at least until her father was killed in a mining accident. She was nine at the time, making her sister four. Their mother went through a complete breakdown after his death, she barely moved and had to be fed and taken care of by her two children. At first Katniss didn't know what what to do after the money from her fathers benefits ran out. A boy from her neighborhood saw that her family was going through a hard time and dropped off a bag of groceries at night, Katniss saw him do it and wasn't able to thank him properly, but it gave her the drive to survive. Her friend Gale taught her how to forge signatures and she was able to sign her mother up for welfare, to keep them alive. After some time though, their mother recovered and slowly started taking care of her children again.

When she was eleven she received her Hogwarts letter and worried about Prim staying at home, even though their mother was getting better. Her friend Gale's mother promised to look after her sister and make sure everything was okay, and that they would write frequently. Once at school Katniss was a loner, not making many friends except for a few, who were also loners. She excelled at Herbology and Care for Magical Creatures, she enjoyed flying and decided to give Quidditch a try.

The summer before her fifth year, her village was attacked by Death Eaters. It was in the early evening and children in the village started to go missing. Katniss and her sister were out for a walk when she noticed them taking children in to the woods. Katniss hid Prim with an invisibility spell, not caring about the rule of underage magic, and told her to run for help and not stop for anything or anyone. Before she could hide herself, she was spotted by the Death Eaters and brought with the other children, in to the woods. They started torturing and killing the children, being all evil and death eatery, but Katniss had her wand and started stunning and ducking behind trees. The Ministry eventually came and scared the Death Eaters away, but not before some of the children were killed in front of her eyes. Some survived and had their memories erased before being sent home, the ministry covered it up with an animal attack. Katniss has regular nightmares about that night and wakes up at night and can't sleep at all occasionally.

How would your character fit in to each House?
Gryffindor: Katniss is full of bravery and self sacrifice for those that she holds dear to her heart. She took her sisters place in the games and threw herself in front of a whip that was meant for Gale. She stands up to people who harm people who can't fight back, or did something because they didn't know better, like her prep team. She knows that only one person will win in the games, but she goes in with courage and the determination to fight as far as she can.

Hufflepuff: Katniss didn't keep herself alive without putting in a lot of hard work. She taught herself to hunt and trade with people to get the most for her family. She doesn't like when people use things against her, like President Snow using Gale's safety to get her to help smother the rebellion, or when he held Peeta captive and had him on tv, showing how he was deteriorating. She's loyal, to a point. When Gale's design for a bomb was used and killed her sister, she knew that there was no way to go back to the way things were before.

Ravenclaw: Katniss is smart, she knows what to do to stay alive and can figure out what the people want to see for a show. She's able to tell the difference on all kinds of wildlife, thanks to her fathers teachings. She was able to figure out that the arena in the 75th games was a clock and everything changed on the hour. She picks up skills quickly, as long as she thinks it's a useful on. She's sarcastic, but only to those she butts heads with, mainly Haymitch, but that's because they are similar in thinking.

Slytherin: If Katniss had a hobby, it would be self preservation. She's resourceful and thinks fast on her feet and will do what it takes to stay alive, even if it means lying to people. She played along with Peeta's feelings to keep them alive and to get sponsors for the games. She didn't like it, but she knew what she had to do. She's not a born leader, but she can get in to the role if forced to do it.

RP Samples:

Prim saved up her allowance and bought this for me for my birthday. She thinks I should make some more friends and talk to people.

I might just use this to put all of my herbology information though, it's more practical that way. If people want to talk to me they can just find me and do it face to face.

So far I've just seen other girls crying about their make up disappearing, I hope it's not always like this.

Third Person Sample:

Katniss couldn't sleep at all last night, she woke up around one am and just lay in bed, looking at the bed posts around her until it was early enough to get up. She wished it had been a night that the Astronomy class was at midnight, that way she could sneak out when they went to the tower. Instead she waited until five and decided it was an okay time to wander the halls and head out to the grounds. She dressed quickly in some old comfortable clothes and headed out of her dorm and through the common room. She didn't see anyone while through the halls, not even Filches cat, who she would have kicked if she had to.

Once she was out on the grounds, she saw one of the House teams out to do practice, but it looked like they were practicing their yawning instead of their flying. She reached the edge of the woods a while later and took a look around, before entering once she was sure that no one was around. She knew not to go in the Forbidden woods, but not all the woods were forbidden, so she took advantage of that. She climbed a tree, making herself a home on a branch and watched some nearby birds.

She dozed off finally, the lack of sleep catching up to her and woke up once she lost her balance on the branch. She managed to catch herself from falling completely, but was still hanging by her arms. She dropped to the ground and figured it was a good time to head back to the castle. It was late enough that students were finishing up their breakfast and most of the good things were gone.

"Katniss! Over here!" Her sisters small voiced called out from the middle of a bench and caught her attention. Katniss smiled happily, in a way only her sister could make her do. There was a plate of untouched food in front of her, knowing her sister would probably have been out and about in the early hours.

Katniss came up behind her and tucked in the back of her sisters shirt while kissing the top of her head. "That looks good, little duck. Did you eat already?"

"I did and I kept yours warm for you. We learned a warming charm yesterday."

Katniss sat down and started to eat her food, encouraging Prim to tell her about her lessons. Before her breakfast was done, she forgot all about her sleepless night and started to look forward to the day.
