Chapter 15
You roll your eyes as Wanda giggles excitedly, using her magic to drift in a small crate of things. "Maybe he's hot!"
"Shut up."
"Maybe he's your type." She wiggles her eyebrows and makes an "I'm-so-sexy" face. "Ooh."
"Shut up."
"Maybe...." She sets the crate down and grabs your shoulders, shaking you excitedly. "Maybe he'll like us!"
You wince as her fingertips dig into one of the scars. "Hey, easy, sister."
She realizes what she's doing and immediately draws her hands back. "Oh, god, I'm so sorry, (Y/N), did it hurt?"
"Not anymore." You lie, and roll your shoulders. "Okay, I think I'm fine."
Suddenly you remember something. "Shit."
"What?"
"I have to shave!"
"What? You're a man now?"
"Not a beard, Wanda!" You press a finger to your lips, eyes wide, and your other hand points down to your legs.
"You shave your-" Wanda looked at your legs and wrinkled her nose. "You shave your legs? No wonder they were all un-hairy and stuff."
"Shh! It's not my fault." You grumble. "My legs are naturally super bushy."
She giggles. "Not as much as mine." Then she grabbed your arm and led you over to Cap. "Steve! When is he coming?"
"Soon." He checks his watch and rubs the back of his head uncomfortably. "It's just.... nothing. He's a little late."
"Just a little late." You muse. "Hmm. Tony's probably pissed off."
Tony bursts into the room. "ISHEHEREYETANDWHATAREALLOFYOUDOING!"
You laugh. "What, dad?"
"Is he here yet?"
"No."
"He's late?!" He huffs. "After all that generosity I gave him?"
"You're always late." You remind him. "Like, always."
Tony frowns, and pretends to think.
"Oh, right." He nods. "Good point, kiddo."
You smirk triumphantly. "It's okay to be late if you're a Stark, though, right?"
"Right." He ruffles your hair. "You're a fast learner."
"Wow. I thought since he was Stevie's friend, he would at least have some of the goody-goodliness. Turns out not."
"Cut him some slack." Steve checks his watch again. "Only ten minutes."
"Only ten?" You scoff. "Time is golden."
"Unless you're a Stark." Tony tells you.
"Then you have all the time in the world." Winking, you finish the sentence. "Yep."
Hawkeye scoffs. "Starks."
Cap takes out his phone and brightens. "Oh, hey! No, the one next to it. It's really tall. Yeah, just go in. Take the lift. It's... yeah. Yeah. They're waiting. Yeah. See you."
"Cap learned how to fit into the 21st Century already!" Clint claps and they join him.
Steve smiles. "Yes." Shoving his phone in his pocket. "He's coming."
"Jeez, I'm so excited." You comment sarcastically.
He obviously doesn't get sarcasm, because he just nods. "Me too."
The elevator dings open.
A man in a black coat, black pants, a black hat and a black everything steps out.
"He's....dark." Wanda whispers.
He raises his head and tilts his hat up. "I'm Bucky Barnes."
