Make My Voice Brand New [COMPLETED]

You Don't Get Lucky Twice

The room was painfully silent. The only thing that Peter could hear, could focus on, was the sound of soft breathing from Luka, standing beside him, and his own heart pumping the blood around his body.

He was sure that everyone else still looked the same. Shocked. Panicked. But Luka didn't. Luka looked just completely unfazed. Her eyes were soft, slightly wide but not so much that she looked surprised. Her lips were relaxed, not pursed together, not pressed into an angry, thin line. Just...relaxed. It unnerved him. She clearly heard him. The whole compound probably heard him. So why wasn't she saying anything? Why wasn't she giving away anything? Why was she just looking at him?

"Maybe we should go."

Steve's sudden voice made Peter's ears prickle. Then he could hear the shifting of fabric, clothes, as he assumed the team started to edge out of the room. He dropped his gaze from Luka, and instead decided to focus on the floor as he licked his lips, and exhaled slowly.

"Did you know about this?!" Tony snapped, and Peter looked up to see that Tony had whipped round to Bucky, and was jabbing a finger into his chest. The rest of the team were huddled around the lab entrance, clearly halfway to making their escape.

"What are you talking about?" Bucky replied, but when he glanced over at Luka, he knew he was done for.

"You are the only one she talks to! You must have known!" Tony tried fisting Bucky's shirt, the anger creeping back up on his face, but Bucky just put vibranium fingers between the fist and opened his grasp.

"I didn't know he was gonna say that." Bucky explained, his tone making him sound a bit bored.

"BULLSHIT!"

"Language." Steve muttered, out of habit.

"Don't you start with me, Iceman." Tony glared at the Captain, who held his hands up and stepped back. Tony turned back to Bucky. "You fucking knew." Tony simply said, after he looked up at Bucky's expression for a few seconds.

Bucky sighed. Which made the rest of the team gasp at him.

"What?!" Sam frowned. "You knew these guys were doing -" He shut up when Tony threw a warning look at him. "Sorry." He muttered.

"It's my fault." Peter finally said, his voice croaky. Every single person whipped round to look at him. "I was trying to...date Luka and...Bucky knew her best." Peter waved at the soldier. "I asked him for help."

"Well that was a waste of time because you will NOT be dating her. EVER." Tony yelled as he stormed back up to the kid.

"We've actually been dating for like a month already." Luka said from beside Peter, one eyebrow raising slightly as Tony slowly turned to her. The room, once again, fell into a moment of shock.

"Say that again?"

Luka straightened up. "Me and Peter, we've been dating for a month already. Without you knowing. Without anyone but Bucky knowing."

Oh fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. Peter was definitely gonna die now. He looked at his mentor. At his girlfriend. Watching a war between their gaze. Tony's shoulders and chest were heaving with his breaths. Luka seemed as composed as ever.

"And actually," Luka continued, stepping forward slightly. "I don't think you can do anything to stop us carrying on. Unless you want to lose your best assistant."

"You are not allowed relationships." Tony tried to argue, but Luka just huffed.

"Ohmygod are you that dense?! I've dated before, I've snuck people in, Bucky helped most of the time." Luka half-shouted, gesturing to Bucky. Tony growled at that reveal, and Peter saw Bucky widen his eyes behind Mr Stark, and start to edge out of the room once again. "Me and Peter are obviously ... something, if it's gone on this long and I'm still bloody interested in sneaking around with him!"
