"What do you want, Fury?"
"I've got a mission for you."
"Which is?"
He pauses for a brief, very short second.
"Steve and Tony are going, let's say 'out of town', for a few days. Your mission is to stay here."
"What do you mean?"
"Just, stay here. Please."
"Fury, what aren't you telling me."
"I don't have to tell you anything."
"Ok fine, but i expect a good explanation when they get back."
"Absolutely not."
"Fury, she deserves to know what's going on." Steve says.
Fury pauses, again. "Fine." he says. "Steve, come with me."
I'm sorry what? How did I just let that slide? I never ever let anything like this happen. Never-mind, it's too late now with Steve and Tony getting in a car with Fury.
What is Fury's actual name anyways? Scott told me it was Jim, but I doubt that.
Hope said it was Nicholas, but that doesn't sound right either. Maybe Chris? Or Anthony?
I go back inside and run up the stairs to the rec room. It's nice to have some time alone. That is until Vision walks in, of course.
He doesn't say anything, just looks around then turns to leave.
"Vis, what are you looking for?"
He turns around slowly, filling the room with awkwardness.
"Nothing?"
He's a robot and cannot tell a lie to save his life.
"Vis."
"I was looking for Wanda."
"Wanda? Why do you need her?"
"She just said she wanted to talk to someone, nothing more."
"It's because of me, isn't it."
"Violet, i'm sorry-"
"No no, it's ok. I should probably go to talk to Wanda. And..someone else too."
"Well, i'll leave you too." he moves through the wall with grace.
I take a second to bring myself to go talk to Wanda. What if she doesn't accept my apology? I know I wouldn't.
I knock on her door.
"Hey, Wanda, can I come in there?" I ask carefully.
"She's not in there." Bucky says from behind me.
Why is he always everywhere? Every time i try to do something good, he always comes and interrupts it. It's like he knows. Is he just trying to make me mad?
Now's not the time for that.
I turn around to face him. Now's the time to apologize, and try not to make anymore enemies.
"I'm sorry." I say firmly. He looks down into my nervous gaze, i don't want to ruin anything else, and i can tell he doesn't either.
I look up at him, a taunting grin on his face.
"It's ok. People have said worse to me. And I won't take yours personally, you were already having a bad day."
"Thank you." i say, giving a half smile. "do you know where Wanda is?"
"I think she went out, she should be back later."
"Thank you, Bucky."
"So we're back on a Bucky name basis?" he says, smiling.
"I guess we are." I say, I'm a bit more shy than I should have.
I turn to leave him to go to the kitchen, but he says something that catches me off guard.
"Do you maybe wanna get lunch together?"
