You looked at yourself in the mirror once you were all dressed. Some of the staff had some trouble putting it on but they managed.

You were wearing tight jeans with a long sleeve shirt where the back was longer, reaching your mid-thigh.

It looked good as you pulled the small jacket on, it was a leather one. You smiled softly at yourself, liking how the outfit looked on you.

Your hair was also ready too, all you needed was makeup.

Half your hair was pulled back in a tiny ponytail, parted through the middle, leaving a part of your bangs out.

You headed quickly to make up, seeing some of the other actors ready and waiting. When they saw you, they all cheered and complimented how you looked.

You couldn't help but blush and reply shyly with a 'Thank you'. You greeted some of the makeup artists, Amanda already waiting there for you.

"This is Layla. She'll be doing your make-up from now on." She said. You shook Layla's hand as you introduced yourself.

"I'm a big fan. I've seen your short films and you are amazing. It's so great to meet you." She said. You giggled softly, tucking some of your bangs behind your ear.

"Well, it's nice to meet a fan for the first time." You replied, sitting down on your chair. You glanced to your side while Layla was preparing everything she needed, noticing Tom and Scarlett having their makeup done.

Tom was scrolling through his phone with the Loki wig on, while Scarlett simply spoke to her make-up artist. "Which scene was your favorite while shooting the Harry Potter short film?" Layla asked.

Tom looked slightly towards you when you looked back at Layla. "Hmm, that's a great question. There were lots of great scenes." You replied, giggling softly.

"Um... I guess it would be the one we did in the Half-Blood Prince era. There was this particular stunt we had to do where we would jump from somewhere high and land on the ground with ropes attached to us." You began.

"I remember I was terrified at first because I am scared of heights but soon after I got the courage and did it, the adrenaline pumping through my veins made me want to do it again." Layla giggled softly.

She began applying some foundation. "There were also other scenes where I had a super crazy fight with some other Hogwart's student but in reality, all we did was wave our fake wands like idiots while being pulled with ropes." You laughed.

"And I thought it was all real." Layla jokingly said with a pout. "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you but I cannot cast any spell. Ask Emma Watson." You said through a laugh.

She chuckled along with you while she began to apply your eye makeup. "If you could change something about the short films you did, what would it be?" She asked.

"Probably some of the coworkers treating me bad?" You said, questioning it yourself. "Your coworkers treated you bad?" Tom asked in a slightly worried tone.

"Yeah, well. It's nothing too bad. They just treated me like I wasn't there at all since everyone else was way more known than I was." You said, chuckling softly.

"Hey, everyone deserves to be treated equally. Even if they were more known or more famous than you. Especially, a pretty woman like you, should be treated like a princess." His words made your heart skip a beat.

Layla softly squeezed your shoulder, trying to keep her fangirl in while Tom stared deeply at you. "You think so?" You asked quietly, your face serious.

Your eyes held feelings only he could see, he could see the pain, the anxiousness, the fear of failure. His eyes softened and sparkled in reassurance. "More than you think." He replied in a quiet tone.

You turned to look at yourself in the mirror when his artist made him look at her so she could continue, breaking your sweet moment. "I am screaming inside," Layla whispered to you.

You looked at her through the mirror at her reflection and smiled sideways, looking back at you. Your eyes held so many emotions it took all your strength to not burst out into tears, memories flooding back.

"Look at her! She thinks she'll ever be successful! You are lucky we like Amanda because if it weren't for that, we surely wouldn't have taken you in."

"God! You're so bad! I told you to simply drop it! Stop acting as if you are better than us!"

"You? In an Avengers movie? God, you wish. They'll take me since I am way better. You act horribly and with barely any emotion."

"Y/n?.... Y/n." You snapped out of your state, looking at Layla. "Hm? What happened?" You asked. "You're done. I've been calling your name for the past 2 minutes." Layla said to you with slight worry.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about the script." You lied, giggling softly. Layla smiled sadly at you, she seemed to see right through your lie.

You got up from your chair, grabbing your script, and leaving the room. Because you were in such a hurry, you bumped into Chris outside the makeup room. "Woah, someone seems to be in a hurry." He said with a chuckle.

His smile disappeared the moment he noticed your anxious look, grabbing your arms when you breathed in and out shakily. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked very worriedly.

"A-Amanda... I need... Amanda..." You breathed shakily. "Amanda, got it." He said quickly after, looking around while still holding you.

You were getting worse and worse as seconds passed, beginning to tremble. Your eyes teared up, looking desperately for Amanda.

A sob escaped you, "Amanda!!" You screamed. You dropped to your knees, Chris being quick enough to hold you before you could hurt your knees from the fall.

He crouched beside you. "Breathe, Y/n. Breathe." He said hurriedly, not knowing what to do. Hurried steps echoed close by, the Russo's, Amanda, and some of the actors showing up.

Tom and Scarlett had also burst out through the door to see what was wrong. "Y/n?" Tom asked in shock.
