36 Too Much Too Handle

-Natasha's Safe House, New York-

-June 23, 2007, 0200h local-

"Babe..." Natasha forced out, entirely out of breath while laying on top of Naruto "We can't keep doing this."

"What? Sex?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah." Natasha replied.

"Why?"

"I can't keep up, Babe..." Natasha answered truthfully. "Where the hell do you get all that stamina anyway?"

It's been almost four months since Naruto and Natasha got together. The four months they have been together being one of the best memories she had. For the first time, she can finally see herself with someone. Their whole relationship might unorthodox, but it works for them. Fury can't even reprimand her for 'cavorting with the enemy' spiel since Naruto is more of an ally than a foe. She knows he still has a lot of secrets, but she's confident he would slowly open up more to her and her to him.

The only thing she can complain about is also a blessing. They have a stupid amount of great sex. The pair would make love at least once a week, and it's rarely just a quickie. Usually, it's a marathon lasting anywhere from 3 to 9 hours, leaving her sore, tired, and satisfied every time. All of these marathon sessions are, without a doubt, Naruto's fault. The guy must have infinite stamina reserves since she never saw him tired, even after their marathon sessions.

"The Uzumakis have larger chakra reserves than other clans as well as vitality and stamina. Basically, an average Uzumaki shinobi has five to ten times the chakra and endurance of any average shinobi. Add to the fact that I'm a jinchuuriki, well, you get the picture." Naruto explained.

"So, you're telling me that everyone from your mother's side was a freak in bed?" Natasha asked with a teasing grin.

"Please don't put say that. My mind just imagined stuff about my mother, and I don't want to think about it. It certainly doesn't help that Kurama knows about it." Naruto pleaded with a groan.

It was two weeks ago when Naruto opened up about Kurama to Natasha. He admitted that they were able to mend fences and form a begrudging alliance that eventually turned into the dysfunctional friendship they had today. He even told her about his mother being a jinchuuriki and the ability to summon Kurama outside his body. But there's something he needs to do first before he can safely summon a being of pure chakra to this world.

"But seriously, how did your family deal with that?" Natasha asked, referring to the whole endurance 'problem.'

"Well. The Uzumakis usually couple with another Uzumaki, so they don't have a problem with that regard. But in the cases where an Uzumaki is coupled with a Non-Uzumaki, there are only two options..." Naruto started explaining while recalling about the books he had gotten from the Library. "Either the outsider is married through a special ritual that would lessen the gap of vitality between the two by siphoning it from the Uzumaki and sending it towards the mate or." He stopped, hoping Natasha won't make him continue.

"Or... Just say it." Natasha urged.

"The Uzumaki would have multiple wives or husbands." Naruto blurted out.

"Like a harem?"

"Not like a harem. Exactly like a harem."

"Is that normal in your world?"

"Having a polygamous relationship?" Naruto asked for clarification, which Natasha nodded to. "Pretty much. You have to remember that being a shinobi has a life expectancy of 25 - 30 years old and like 70% of them are males causing the balance to shift between genders. That's why there's a lot of open polygamous relationships in the low to mid-level ranks while the high ranking ones have open secret relationships..." He explained. "Add to that the CRA laws." He finished as an afterthought.

"CRA?"

"Clan restoration act. When a clan is down to its last ten surviving members due to any circumstance, he or she is required to take on multiple partners to increase their numbers rapidly and with as much genetic diversity as possible. The more valuable a clan is, the higher the partners. It can be anywhere from 3 to 20. You're basically made into a baby machine." Naruto answered with a shake of his head. The CRA laws are just too forced for him. It's one thing to have a polygamous relationship out of love, but having one because it's forced on you is just wrong. He can't even imagine being a woman in that scenario. That's probably one of the reasons Tsunade-baachan left.

"Wait. Aren't you the last Uzumaki? Doesn't that mean you would've been forced to marry at least three people?" Natasha asked.

"Yeah. Good thing I dodged that bullet..." Naruto said with a sigh of relief. "With how many high positioned clans ended, will end, or started with me, the Kage would probably force me to at least 50 partners." He's referring to the absurdly abnormal lineage he has.

The obvious ones are the Uzumaki and the Namikaze clans, both of which are highly sought after. The first one for their Vitality, Fuinjutsu acumen, Adamantine Chains, and absurd Chakra reserves. The second one is for their innate speed, fighting instincts, and intelligence rivaling the Nara clan.

Then there are the Senju and Uchiha clans. The eternal rivals. The former is the cousins of the Uzumakis. Famed for their Vitality and the possibility of acquiring the Mokuton bloodline, the only bloodline that can reliably subdue a bijuu. The Uchiha came from his father's side since the Namikazes was a clan formed before the foundation of Konoha. They were the rejects of the Uchiha, unable to unlock their Sharingan. The Uchiha's are famed for their fighting acumen and the Sharingan, making them more than a challenge for many shinobi.

The last ones were the latent bloodlines that activated due to Kaguya's blood integrating with his own. These are the Hyuga, the Kaguya, and the Otsutsuki clans. The Hyugas are famed for their fighting prowess, gentle fist fighting style, and the Byakugan or the All-seeing White-eye although they are not a member of the CRA. The Kaguya was a feared battle oriented clan having incredible vitality and the capability to use their bones as weapons. Even though Kurama confirmed that he could use the Kaguya bloodline, he just doesn't use it. All the bone stuff just creeps him out. Finally, The Otsutsuki. Considered as Gods of the Shinobis because of Kaguya, Hagoromo and Hamura. Speculated to have immortality and the evolved form of the Byakugan, Tenseigan. They have many more attributes, but there are just too many to mention.

Add to the fact that he basically has all the bloodlines running through his veins, and it's guaranteed that each Hidden Village would go to war because of him.

"Huh." Natasha let out in contemplation while adopting a thoughtful expression. Naruto immediately felt a chill running through him. It's like the feeling he had before his Shinigan unlocked. He knows he doesn't want it, but after he got it, he loves it.

"Babe..." Naruto hesitantly called. "What are you thinking about?"

Natasha was shaken out of her stupor and looked at Naruto.

"I just thought of something I never thought I'd be turned on to." Natasha unashamedly announced with fire behind her eyes.

Naruto quickly became hot and forgot about his premonition. He still can't over Natasha's intense sexuality.

"Maybe I can help you with that." Naruto purred out while running his hands on Natasha's ass.

"Maybe you can..." Natasha seductively whispered before getting off Naruto and lying down on her side of the bed. "Well. Good Night, Babe. Be careful tomorrow." She said before nodding off.

Naruto was left there all hot and bothered, gobsmacked by Natasha's power move. Now he's just sitting on the bed with a boner like an idiot.

"Fuck."

-Natasha's Safe House, New York-

-June 23, 2007, 1300h local-

Natasha was walking back towards the building where her safehouse was at after buying some groceries. She dressed in a comfortable white blouse, blue jeans, and black sneakers with a hidden pistol tucked in on her back.

When she woke up that morning, Naruto was already gone but not before leaving her a note and some food on the table. He probably already went to his Nine-Tail gig. He has a flexible working date making him able to be together with her anytime he likes, but sometimes there are some jobs he just can't resist, which she completely understands.

When Natasha got on the elevator, a younger woman quickly got on without registering her surroundings before the doors completely close.

She's a 5'9 caucasian with pale skin, green eyes, and wavey black hair while wearing grey jeans, a black shirt covered by a black leather jacket, and black boots. Her name is Jessica Jones. An enhanced. SHIELD has been monitoring her ever since she was 14 after being revived when their family car crashed on April 13, 2000.

According to her file, she's an introvert ever since she was a child, but with her family's accident and the death of her former boyfriend two years ago caused her to develop survivor's guilt and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Her trauma caused her to be partially unstable, often dreaming about the day of the accident. She developed a dependence on alcohol to forget, but it barely does anything to her due to her enhancement.

When the accident happened, an unknown organization got her hands on her and performed an illegal experiment on her only known as IGH, a possible reproduction of the super-soldier serum. Ig gave her superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and regeneration. The last part causes her to recover from the effects of alcohol quickly.

As for her personal life, she barely has any ever since the death of her former boyfriend. She even distanced herself from the Walkers, her adoptive family, and even Trish Walker, her sister, and best friend.

The reason Natasha's warehouse was in the same building as Jessica was that when Jessica started to do some hero stuff, Fury wanted someone better to keep a close eye on her from time to time.

The talk she and Naruto had this morning caused her to form a plan in her mind. If everything goes as planned, Naruto would be happy, Jessica would be happy, and weirdly enough, she would be happy too.

"Hey, Jess." Natasha greeted.

"Oh..." Jessica said in surprise. She looks towards the only other person in the elevator. "Hey, Sasha." She greeted back.

Natasha used the name Sasha Roff when she's using this warehouse. 'Sasha' and Jessica had formed some form of friendship where they would occasionally hang out.

"Want to come by the apartment?" Natasha asked.

Jessica thought about it for a moment. She just came from quitting another job and could really use a drink right now, but maybe she could do it with her neighbor. There's just one thing she needs to ask first.

"Is your boyfriend in there?" Jessica asked.

"No..." Natasha thought it was a weird question to ask but answered it anyway. "Why?" She just had to ask.

"I just don't want to meet the guy who's keeping the whole building half awake when he's with you. I might just punch him..." Jessica bluntly replied. "Kudos, by the way." She added.

Natasha slightly turned red, hearing Jessica's answer. She already knows Jess is a blunt person, but sometimes she surprises even her. She promptly noted down in her mind that she needs to activate blackout protocol before doing anything else.

"Are we that loud?" Natasha asked hesitantly.

"Yep and the building somehow shakes from time to time. I don't know if it's just in my head of not..." Jessica answered. "I can swing by, by the way."

Natasha nodded and smiled, but on the inside, she's a little more mortified. She added another note. Tame down Naruto's enthusiasm or get a bed with shock absorbers, maybe both.

The elevator doors opened, and they walk towards Natasha's apartment/safehouse.

"You can't hurt him with just a punch." Natasha said out of the blue.

"What?" Jessica asked, confused.

"My boyfriend..." Natasha felt like a teenager describing Naruto like that. "A punch doesn't hurt him." She repeated.

"Doubt it. I'm a lot stronger than how I look." Jessica retorted with confidence, secretly referring to her super strength, not knowing that Natasha knows about it.

"If you say so." Natasha replied.

Natasha opened up the door and walked towards the kitchen to drop the groceries and grabbing four bottles of wine, a bottle of vodka, and two wine glasses, already anticipating heavy drinking. When she got back to the living room, she saw Jessica lounging on the sofa. She dropped off the items and discreetly activated the blackout protocol as preparation for the conversation she's going to have.

Natasha wouldn't normally do something as stupid as she was about to do, but she reasoned that there's a lot of things she usually wouldn't do, but Naruto's presence stirred up a lot of things.

She walked back to the couch and poured herself a glass of wine. Jessica's glass is full to the brim with what Natasha assumes as a mixture of wine and Vodka.

"How have you been doing lately?" Natasha asked, starting the conversation.

"Just quit my job, so there's that." Jessica answered with a sigh.

The pair talked for at least an hour, quickly going through the alcohol. They talk about a lot of stuff but nothing personal like they usually do. Natasha determined that now is the perfect time to reveal some things to make her proposal easier to accept.

"Hey, Jess..." Natasha quietly said. Jessica looks at her waiting for her to continue. "I haven't been completely honest with you..." Jessica immediately went on guard, her inherent distrust of anyone being affirmed. "I'm going to tell you some stuff that will alarm you and I want you to listen through all of it before asking questions. At the end of this talk, I'll ask a proposition that will definitely sound weird."

Jessica moved to the far side of the couch, putting some distance between her and Natasha but showing that she's willing to listen.

Natasha took a deep calming breath, thinking about all the protocols and rules she's breaking by going through with this, not to mention the possible consequence that might occur.

"First of all, my name is not Sasha. That's an alias I use when I stay here." Natasha said.

"So, what's your name?" Jessica asked, not thinking that having an alias is a big lie.

"My name is Natasha Romanoff. I'm a spy and assassin working for an international US-based intelligence agency." Natasha blurted out quickly, ripping the band-aid off, but Jessica just started laughing.

"That's a good one! Damn, haven't had a good life for quite a while..." Jessica said, but when she noticed the now named Natasha still looking serious. "Holy shit. You're not joking, are you."

"The organization I work for deals with problems that the world is not ready to face. Highly advanced technology or supernatural stuff is all in our ballpark..." Natasha continued with a loaded stare. Jessica realized what Natasha was saying. A whole government organization knows about her and apparently sent an agent to check on her. The reason why 'Sasha' only stays in the apartment at least once a month finally made sense. "When you started doing vigilante work, my boss decided it's better if someone more 'experienced' keep an eye on you."

"So what, this is all a job?" Jessica asked, hiding a small stab of pain.

"No. No. If anything, I shouldn't even be engaging socially with you, but I enjoy your company." Natasha defended.

Jessica stayed silent while pacing back and forth in front of the couch, thinking about what Natasha said. She feels violated, but she knows she should have expected it. Nothing stays secret for long.

"You're going to try to recruit me to this spy agency of yours?" Jessica asked with snark.

"No..." Natasha answered quickly. "It's something weirder." She proceeded.

"Just spit it out."

"I want you to join a threesome with my boyfriend." Natasha confessed.

"What!? That doesn't connect with anything you said!" Jessica exclaimed.

"Not really. My boyfriend is an enhanced like you."

"Enhanced?"

"That's what we call people with superhuman abilities."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"He has similar abilities to you, only more powerful..." Natasha said. "You can see where I'm going with this."

Jessica wanted to shove Natasha's question back to her, but she wants to meet someone like her. The prospect of someone finally keeping up with her in bed is making her a little horny. The fact that Natasha is smoking hot too only helps her case. The only downside she can see was that Natasha lied to her and part of an organization that monitors people like her.

She was about to give an answer when the door suddenly opened.

"Hey, babe!" Naruto joyously greeted. He saw Natasha talking with her neighbor. This caused a shiver to run down his spine, which is eerily similar to what happened early in the morning.

"Naruto. Meet my neighbor, Jessica Jones. Jessica, my boyfriend, Naruto Uzumaki." Natasha introduced them with a smile.

"If that's what he looks like. We can try a menage a trois as a trial basis." Jessica said to Natasha seriously.

Naruto was going to extend his hand for a greeting when he heard Jessica's statement. He finally pieced together Nat's weird behavior and somehow found a willing participant in a short amount of time. He panicked and immediately Hiraishined away.

Jessica was surprised by Naruto's sudden disappearance.

"He just vanished." Jessica weakly said.

"You'll get used to it..." Natasha replies with a shrug. "So, let's talk logistics." She continued.

-Stark Mansion, Los Angeles, California-

-June 23, 2007, 2000h local-

Tony, Pepper, and Morgan are having family time inside the living room. They reserve Saturday night as bonding time with Morgan. No work, No projects, No phones. JARVIS is continuously monitoring the calls and messages for anything that might require an immediate response.

The family was playing with the toys Naruto kept on giving Morgan, which now filled a whole walk-in closet when they heard someone running down the stairs. They would've usually be alarmed, but living with Naruto desensitized them on weird occurrences in their house.

"Tony! Tony! Tony!" Naruto shouted when he reached the living room. "Oh! Hey, Morgan!" He greeted quickly. "I need help!" He continued saying towards Tony.

Tony quickly stood up. He never saw Naruto panicking before, so he's on alert.

"What!?" Tony asked.

"What do you do when you're girlfriend asked you to a threesome with another girl?" Naruto rapidly blurted out.

Tony took a second to process what Naruto said before punching him hard to the face.

"What are you still doing here! Just go and say yes!" Tony shouted.

Tony's punch and answer were enough to rally Naruto. Naruto nodded and ran out the front door.

When Tony looked back behind him, he saw Pepper giving him a disapproving glare.

"You're sleeping on the couch tonight." Was Pepper's only declaration.
