Biography
When Clint and Laura Barton decided to have a third child, they decided to name it Natasha, after the good friend Natasha Romanoff. However, they would soon discover that the gender of the baby would be a boy and change the name to Nathaniel. When the Avengers arrived at Clint Barton's Homestead, Laura informed Natasha of this information, causing her to call the unborn child a traitor. Shortly before Nathaniel Barton was born, his father retired from the Avengers to live with him and his family, as with another child, Clint needed to help out a soon to be outnumbered Laura. They also decided to have his middle name be Pietro, after the man who sacrificed his life for Clint during the battle. Soon after, Nathaniel would be born and the Barton's set up a video call to Natasha to show off their newborn as she worked at the New Avengers Facility.[1]
