This is where I'm going to write in a different style. I'll try and differentiate as best I can between the characters.

__________________________________________

Wanda walks you back inside after talking about what she saw. You walk up to Steve and pull him in a hug. 

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have run out like that. It was just a lot to take in." His body relaxes in my arms. "I missed you big brother." He chuckles "You have no idea how long I've waited to hear that." he holds me a while longer before someone walks in.

"Am I interrupting something?" I turn to see Bucky leaning on the door frame. "Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes, I missed your dumbass." I walk over to hug him and he picks me up twirling me around. "And I missed you Nicky." He lets me down gently as Tony walks in "ah, just the person I wanted to see. If you could get your brothers and meet me in the conference room, that would be great, the tailor is here." I nod and give a glance at Steve and Bucky before heading up to the living room. "Come on dumb and dumber, we've got a fitting to get to." AJ and Elijah look over to me and get up to leave.

The conference room was big, big glass walls, and a giant oak wood table in the center. "Hey look the three Musketeers. Get over here I want you to meet Thea Roden." He gestures to the woman next to him. She smiles and gives a slight wave. "Well I'll leave you to it then." Tony walks out and the woman comes over two us, two men at her side. "We're gonna need you to take off your shirts first." I raise my eyebrows in amusement before I realize she is serious. I nod to AJ and Elijah, and we all begin to remove our shirts. She walks over to me with a measuring tape, and the men do the same to AJ and Elijah. The tape was cold sending shivers up my arm on impact. 

After measuring basically out entire bodies, they walk over with different fabrics discussing with each other. Once they finish discussing they begin to dress us in marked suits and other clothes placing pins to make adjustments. 

"We'll back tomorrow with some clothes for each of you." They pack up their materials and walk out. 

"Well that took for-ever" we look at AJ. Tony walks in and looks at us as we sit exhausted. "Your rooms are ready. Just go to the living room and find Wanda when you're ready and she'll show you to your room." The boys get up and walk out, but I continue sitting, Tony notices and he sits next to me. "When I was at Hydra, all I dreamt about was having a family, I thought it wouldn't make me feel so lonely" I pause and close my eyes "now I'm here, with my family and I couldn't feel more alone." He begins to play with his hands "I know Steve is trying to make me feel comfortable, but I feel like I don't belong here Tony." My eyes begin to fill with tears. "You know before i met this team I was a terrible person. I thought I was better than everybody, I sold weapons to the army and ruined the lives of some many people, including Wanda" I look in his eyes "I didn't realize how much pain I caused until it was my life on the line." He shakes his head, "and then I met this team, at first I didn't feel welcome, I didn't fit in, but they showed me that I could be a better person. I made a family here with them because I stayed and tried to fit in." He reaches to grab my shoulder "Nicole I can't promise it will be easy, hell it'll probably be hard. But you gotta fight for it. It will get better, I promise it will, but first you have to fight." I nod and he gets up to leave patting my shoulder once more before walking out. I wiped the tears out of my eyes and got up prepared to leave. I look behind me once more and leave the room. 

I made my way down to the living room. I saw Wanda sitting on a sofa with a book in hand. I lean against the door and watch her read. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Her eyes were so green, when I stared into them it felt like I was in a field of green hydrangeas, mesmerizing and comforting all in one, but that isn't what I noticed in her eyes. Behind the field of green all that was there, was pain. A pain that I knew was unspeakable, a pain that I felt for years. Loneliness.
