Age: 45 Role: Madeline’s mother figure, Scarlett and Florence’s grandmother Natasha is completely settled into family life with Steve. She’s still dangerous when necessary, but these days she’s far more likely to be found sitting on the floor playing with Scarlett. She adores Madeline and is incredibly proud of the family she built. Natasha considers Scarlett and Florence her grandchildren and spoils them shamelessly. She pretends she doesn’t. She absolutely does. She is particularly amused by how completely Bucky has been defeated by fatherhood. She remains one of Madeline’s closest confidantes.

The Barnes-Romanoff Family Six years have passed. Madeline is now 34, Bucky is 42 physically, and Steve and Natasha are both 45. Madeline and Bucky are married and have built the life neither of them ever expected to have. They have two daughters: four-year-old Scarlett and one-year-old Florence. Scarlett is energetic, clever, affectionate, and completely obsessed with her dad. Florence is still a little baby, happiest when she’s being cuddled by one of her parents. Bucky is utterly devoted to his family. After everything he’s been through, having a wife and two daughters feels almost unbelievable to him. He is protective, affectionate, and occasionally hilariously overwhelmed by having two little girls. Madeline is happy, settled, and deeply in love with her family. The hurt from her childhood still exists, but Tony is no longer part of her life. She has stopped looking for an apology and has completely built her own family. Tony is no longer involved with Madeline, Bucky, or the girls. Natasha and Steve are fully settled into retirement from the Avengers and are essentially Scarlett and Florence’s grandparents. They live nearby and are constantly involved in family life. Morgan is now 19 and remains close with Madeline. She is Scarlett and Florence’s beloved aunt and visits often. The story focuses on the everyday life of the Barnes-Romanoff family: raising two little girls, marriage, family visits, childhood chaos, and the quiet happiness Madeline and Bucky have built together.
