Violet Flame (Avengers)

Chapter 5- We Are Actual Children

Violet's POV

Fury just gave me the key card to access the kitchen and gym whenever, and access to some of the files. I'm kinda awestruck at the moment.

Was this a trick? Their tricking me, right? They wouldn't just give me this. Right? And now I'm asking mental questions, thinking someone will answer. I am surely crazy.

I decided to use this key card to my advantage. Starting with food. What? I got called to Fury's office, I didn't get to finish eating.

I went to the kitchen to see no one was there. Alone at last! These SHIELD people never leave me alone. It's insane.

I went over to the kitchen to see what was in there, just ingredients, don't they keep left overs here? I was going through all the cabinets trying to find something to eat, when someone else came in.

"Can I help you ma'am," Steve said.

"Don't you SHIELD people keep left overs, or anything pre-made," I said, while kneeling on the counter top peaking into the cabinet. Yes, I'm short, I have to climb on the counter top to get food. Don't judge.

"Not so much, there's almost never leftovers, and like SHIELD would actually buy something pre-made."

"Ugh, ooh what's this?"

I saw some screen set up in the middle of the island.

"That's where all the recipes are, and how SHIELD cooks everything basically. Or at least that's what I've been told, I still can't figure out the thing."

"Why am I not surprised," I said to myself.

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing. So, wanna help me figure out this thing, and make food?"

"Didn't you just eat?"

"No, Fury called me away before I could finish. And no one ever gets between me and my food."

"Note taken. So what do you want to make?"

"Something sweet."

"So you're not going to eat an actual meal I'll take it."

"Ain't no body got time for that," I said, Steve looked at me like I was crazy, "It's a joke, from now in days. You've never heard of it? Someone needs to get you a Tumblr account."

Steve just stared at me like I was speaking a different language.

"Yea, okay. So cupcakes, how about cupcakes?"

"That works."

I looked up cupcakes on the SHIELD kitchen screen. We gathered up all the ingredients, and started baking. 

We had the radio playing and Lips Are Moving was on. We were singing and dancing all over the kitchen. And let me tell you Steve Rogers can dance better than you would expect. 

"If your lips are moving then you're lying, lying, lying baby," we sang along.

But perfect moments can't last forever. Steve was mixing the batter together, and obviously did something wrong. Cake batter went flying everywhere. He turned around and it was covering him. Maybe perfect moments can last forever.

I just about died laughing at this.

"You think is funny, don't you," he asked. He was planning something.

"It's... very.. funny," I tried saying, I was laughing too hard to talk.

"Do you wanna a hug," he teased, knowing he would get batter all over me.
