INURE-Avengers Soulmate AU

TW:Swearing, beware it's a British level of swearing because ✨me✨.

"Hey JARVIS can you order our regular plus one extra from our favourite pizza place." Tony calls out to the AI whilst Nat uses the remote for the smart TV to click on Disney+.

I'm sat between Wanda and Bucky on the middle sofa, smiling to myself at the normality of a movie night.

It was my first movie night ever and yet it felt calming and homely.

My legs were stretched across Bucky's lap as he had just re-bandaged my knees. His hands were resting on my leg furthest from him, and he was subconsciously drawing circular patterns on my legs with his metal fingers whilst watching the screen, waiting for the film to play.

"Okay what do we want to watch?" Nat says scrolling across a few films.

"I vote Cinderella." Sam says raising his arm grabbing everybody's attention.

"Hm~ I like The Little Mermaid." Steve says to which Sam starts laughing.

Steve grumbles, "wow my own soulmates making fun of me.", as he wipes a fake tear.

Wanda looks up and makes eye contact with me, "Why don't we let Aurora pick?", everyone agrees and they all turn to me.

"I don't know, I've never seen a film." I say shrugging, "You guys can pick."

Peter gasps from the sofa to the left of me, "You've never seen a film?!"

I felt bad seeing as I pretty much forgot he was even here, "yeah, I've never seen a film. I just never had the time to and the fact that HYDRA wasn't really about movie nights." I shrug once more and look down at my hands feeling awkward with everyone staring at me with pity.

They clearly sense this and move on, "Okay I say we watch Beauty and the beast, it's one of the best Disney films and everyone likes it." Nat says sternly knowing it's a film everyone except Rory knows and enjoys.

Her suggestion was followed by multiple 'good idea's and 'sure's from around the now dimly lit room.

We all get under large, fluffy blankets and snuggle down onto the sofas as the movie starts, I watch as a large castle comes into view along with background music. As the movie begins...

The food arrives shortly after the film begins, they all start eating so I pick up a slice of the 'Pizza', another thing I had never tried and let me tell you it was delicious, it was a bread base with tomato sause and it had grilled chicken and peppers on top. Whilst Thor had eaten two whole pizzas, I had a few slices before I pretty much couldn't eat anymore, I wasn't used to eating this much anyway seeing as HYDRA's meal plans were pretty much just shitty stale bread and processed small amounts of meat.

By the time the Pizza was all gone the movie had finished, it was great. Like watching someone else's life on a screen, but it was also kind of weird. I felt like I was intruding on Belle's life.

Peter reassured me that it wasn't real, but I was confused as to why someone would make up a lie that people would then just choose to watch for fun.

My phone begins to ring just as they put Cinderella on and I apologize and end the call.

But seconds later my phone rings again, so I decline it again.

Then yet again it rings, so it get up being careful of my knees and walk to the kitchen hearing them talk about who may be calling me.

I pull my phone out and answer it, "hello?"

"Hello Agent Sage, having a nice time watching children's movies?", to which I was a bit offended by but realised I have more important matters to worry about.
