Natasha Loves to Kidnap People
Pietro chose a room next to a Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. Phil gave him a worried look for a moment before he gave him the key. Once he was done putting away his stuff, he went to the second floor and found his twin sister sitting on the floor with another woman. She was beautiful, with her red lips and her dark brown hair. He cleared his throat to get their attention.
“Hey.” He smiled.
“Damn, you didn’t tell me your brother is hot.” Wanda laughed at Pietro’s flushed cheeks. “I’m Darcy.” She offered her hand.
“Pietro.” He replied. “I want to go see the track, do you want to come?” Pietro asked them. He was itching to run. This morning’s anxiety was bubbling over and he needed to let it out.
“I’m going to stay here, I think.” Wanda turned to Darcy with a smile on her face. “You can go if you want. You look like you need to get out of this house.”
Darcy looked a little skeptical at first. Wanda looked like a lost kitten and her motherly instinct kicked in when she saw her. She would’ve stayed with her and coddled her if it weren’t for her reassuring smile. God, she’s so adorable.
“Call me if you need anything.” Darcy told her before she left with Pietro.
Wanda let out the breath she didn’t know she’s been holding on. She likes Darcy Lewis. Darcy was spunky and loud and friendly. But she needed a little peace and quiet right now. That was what makes her and Pietro so different. Pietro gravitated towards crowds and social events while she stayed at home with her books and her music. It was the only way she could stay sane after what happened.
“You okay?” She jumped at the sound. Her eyes were wide as she stared at her housemate. His eyebrows were knitted in confusion and worry as he leaned on the doorway with his arms crossed.
“Yeah.” She nodded and got up on her feet. “Are you going somewhere?” She asked when she saw the books on his left hand.
“I have a Russian class in 15 minutes.” He replied with a shrug. “Do you want to come?” Dammit, Bucky, you were smoother than this. He mentally cursed himself. His face split into a grin when she nodded.
“Why not?” She shrugged. Classes are good. Classes are quiet and peaceful. She also got to learn a few things. She told him to wait while she went back to her room to grab her bag and a notebook.

“Your sister is very quiet.” Darcy commented when Pietro sat next to her, his shirt drenched with sweat.
“She is. A lot have happened. She—“ He paused for a moment, as if trying to find the right words. “It was harder for her.” He finished.
“I noticed.” Darcy hummed. She offered him a water bottle, which he took gratefully. “I know about what happened.”
Pietro turned to her in an instant, his eyes filled with anxiety. Darcy gave him a comforting smile and patted his back.
“Everyone has a form and I helped Phil with it. You’re not the only one with a bad past.” She gently said. “There’s a reason why we live in the Avengers Residence.”
“Avengers Residence?” He raised his eyebrows in amusement.
“Phil named it. It sounded cool.” Darcy grinned and they went back to a lighter atmosphere as she cracked some jokes.

Natasha was already in her seat when she saw Bucky entering the classroom. She raised an eyebrow when he turned to the petite woman next to him and talked to him. Huh. Bucky Barnes in talking to someone other than their housemates. He looked up and caught her eyes a moment later. There was a deep scowl on his face when she gave him a teasing smirk. The woman next to him turned to her with a curious expression. She looked familiar. I think I’ve seen her somewhere. The news?
“This is Wanda Maximoff.” Bucky introduced his woman friend. Natasha bit back her laughter as she watched Bucky’s fixation on the woman.
“Natasha Romanoff.” She smiled and shook her hand. “Come, sit here.” She patted the seat next to her. Wanda, the woman, hesitantly sat next to her and waited for Bucky to occupy the chair next to her.
“You’re new.” Natasha commented.
“I just moved into the house. James said I could come with him to the class.”
“James? Really, you should call him Bucky. James is too nice.” Natasha grinned. She could see Wanda relaxed a little as they continued to talk. Well, she continued to talk and make fun of Bucky. There was nothing she enjoyed more than to make fun of his friend in front of his potential crush.
“I like James.” Bucky quipped. There was an adorable shade of pink on her cheeks when he said it and Wanda turned away from him. Get a grip, Wanda.

Wanda really likes Natasha Romanoff. As in she idolized the red haired woman. Natasha kidnapped her from him and took her to the library and the small coffee shop near the campus. She seemed to know the places Wanda preferred. She really likes Natasha Romanoff. And the woman kept making funny jokes and kept making her laugh. Why does she like Natasha so much?
“Are you okay, Buck?” Steve turned to his friend. Bucky has been grumbling some incoherent words throughout their walk back home.
“Natasha stole Wanda.” He mumbled.
“Wanda?” Steve inquired. This is interesting.
“I made a new friend.” He snapped and Steve laughed. He laughed.
“Is that the dark haired woman who was walking with Natasha?” Steve pointed at the two female figures not far from them.
“Yeah.”
“She’s pretty.” Bucky’s head turned to him and he gave Steve an exasperated look.
“She is! I have eyes, Bucky.” Steve rolled his eyes. What is it with Bucky anyway? Does he like her? Yeah, he does. Steve watched his friend trudged forward. That stupid blockhead probably won’t admit it until it was too late, Steve thought.
