Chapter 7
Haresa woke up after nearly twenty two hours asleep. The trip, the time difference, and her health had completely exhausted her. She straightened up on the soft, comfortable bed and stretched out with a groan.
She was wearing a nightgown, but she remembered lying on the bed with her sweatshirt on
-Has someone changed my clothes?
-Yes, Miss Romanov changed her clothes. After a healer examined you Miss Potter and said that you were just exhausted and that we let you sleep.
- I just wanted to sleep for a few minutes. - She yawned .- Do you know where there is a shower I can use?
A door opened and Haresa saw a beautiful bathroom with a huge bathtub and a glass wall.
-It is not a real glass, it is a screen that imitates the view outside the tower. Mr. Stark doesn't like to feel locked up. It is something incorporated into all the bathrooms in the housing area. Enjoy your bath
The faucets in the bathtub turned on and the water filled it rapidly. Then JARVIS automatically opened a compartment on the wall revealing sponges, shower gels, shampoos and masks.
-I feel a little uncomfortable that you can observe me in the bathroom
-Do not worry. The recordings are deleted as soon as it comes out. But because Hawkeye once fell asleep in the bathtub, bathroom surveillance is non-negotiable.
Haresa undressed and got into the tub with a sigh of pleasure. It was her first bath with hot water. At the Durleys Aunt Petunia would fill half a bathtub with cold water and give her a bar of soap and twenty minutes. At Hogwarts they were showers.
But now she understood why there was such a fascination with baths
She washed off and the water emptied before refilling and then she remained in the hot liquid for a long time. She made shapes out of the foam and lifted her arm only to see the drops of it sliding down his skin.
At least until Jarvis pulled her out because she needed something to eat. It was early morning and she didn't understand it until she remembered the time difference. She sighed and stepped out into the hallway in time to see Captain America come out of the bedroom as he pulled on a tight T-shirt. He seemed ready to go for a run
Haresa now knew who her father's lover was
-My father has good taste
El Capitan blushed deeply and began to make excuses that it was not what it seemed. What it looked like was that he had just walked out of Tony Stark's bedroom half naked, and if that wasn't indicative of something, she didn't know it was.
-Captain, I regret to inform you of this. But we are not in the thirties anymore. My father is openly bi sexual. No one will judge you for being one too.- The relationship between Agent Carter and Captain America had become so romantic that there was even a soap opera from the eighties about them.
Aunt Petunia liked to watch that soap opera, and Haresa had been forced to listen to it from her closet.
-There are times that I forget- said the Captain- I'm going to go for a run, do you want something?
-Something?
-Donuts, coffee, ... Now people buy almost everything, in my time it was not done. Although I do not know how to cook more than porridge and corn bread. Had it not been for Bucky I would have starved to death before the war
Haresa shuddered. She suddenly had a horrible feeling
-Does anyone here know how to cook?
-Clint and Natasha control their diet by injections of nutrients. Bruce is vegan, most of the time, he sometimes skips it. Tony literally burns the water, he was supposed to cook and did an experiment. Thor…. Thor hunts and roasts what he hunts on a fire.
Haresa knew that her hunch was correct. The two murderers had to control their diet to keep their bodies in optimal condition, Bruce would avoid things that excited him a lot, ...
-I guess I'll make breakfast myself. - Haresa went to the kitchen, which seemed to have not been used at any time other than the microwave. It was Aunt Petunia's dream kitchen. Literally the woman would have loved to be there and a part of Haresa smiled at herself for thinking that she would use it
---------------------------------
Haresa was making donuts out of the dough when Steve returned. She had looked in all the cabinets. But she only had non-perishable food, so she had asked Jarvis to make a basic shopping list. Fortunately, the recipe she used did not use eggs or milk.
-Are those donuts?
-Yes, you can do little with the basics and leftover Chinese food
-Do we have leftover Chinese food?
Haresa laughed as Steve took her place to fry the donuts while she spread the glaze on the ones that were already fried.
-Will you really leave it all behind?
-Yes, there is nothing for me in that country. Apart from some heirloom accounts of my family that are already moving here
-And your friends?
-Do you know what I am? - Steve nodded- To get to Hogwarts there is a trick, a hidden platform. But they didn't tell me how to get in. Then, in a totally casual way, a family passed me by shouting words from our world and the number of the platform instead of using the flu network. And then, mysteriously, the son of that family got into my compartment because the others were full. A great lie, because the train is magical and will be lengthened to always have a free car. But Dumbledore had already chosen that boy as my "friend", so he prevented me from getting close to anyone else. And I followed his game, because it was very good to have his pawn as my spy without the pawn knowing.
-And your other friend?
-Polygamy is legal for magicians. Dumbledore's plan was to make them my "friends", later I would marry Ron and he would marry Hermione. That way Ron would have my family's money and Hermione would have the Potter family's grimoires and knowledge. Besides, Ron is a boy, it was necessary for me to make a friendship of the same gender to control myself in the bedrooms. I also heard Ron last year say that they planned my death shortly after marriage.
Steve squeezed the pan so hard he bent the handle. That poor girl ...
He had only ever had Bucky as a friend. That was true, but it was a true friendship. He would kill for Bucky and he knew the feeling was reciprocated. That girl had been more than alone
She was tough, like Romanoff. But she would someday go soft. Tony walked into the kitchen in his tank top
-Are they homemade donuts? -He said passing behind his daughter and giving a little whip to Steve's butt- Good morning, America's ass
-Please, JARVIS. Delete that meme from the internet- Gimio Steve
-It's impossible, Captain Rogers. I can't empty the net- said the polite voice and Haresa giggled
