a familiar face

James was tracing circles on the top of my boob after waking up from a nap.

A set of knocks on the door announced a creature, maybe a robot or a android with red face floated into the room.

"I excuse my disturbance but Mr. Stark requires your presence. I'm Vision. I'm a AI developed by Stark." he spoke with care and he seemed friendly.

"Thank you, Vision. Let Mr. Stark know we will be there shortly."

Vision pulled the door shut behind him and I turned to James.

His beautiful blue eyes were looking at me.

"Let's see what Stark wants." I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and walked towards the walk in closet. I desperately needed to go shopping. My closet consisted of my motorcycle gear, a black catsuit, and a couple of t-shirts, leggings and sweatpants. Maybe Nat would be up to a shopping trip.

I slipped into the grey leggings I wore yesterday and the chocolate  brown cropped tank top, while James joined me in the closet pulling out a dark grey dark t-shirt and a pair of dark washed jeans, ripped at the knees.

Standing in front of the mirror I pulled my hair out of the bun it had been in since we left Bucharest. My hair tumbled down in messy waves, I combed my fingers through it and pulling it all to one side.

I felt James put both of his hands on either side of my hips, feeling both the coldness of his metal hand and the warmth of his human hand.

"You look beautiful, doll." He kissed the top of my shoulder.

James took my hand in his and together we made our way to the living room.

I saw Stark talking to a blonde man, his back turned to us, he wore a light blue tight t-shirt and some dark washed blue jeans much like the ones James was wearing. His voice was strangely familiar.

I was standing behind James as he slowly approached the two.

"Ah, cyborg. Glad you could make it." Tony said making the blonde man turn around, his blue eyes growing bigger.

"Bucky ?" the man said. Wait, he knew James ? And why is he calling him Bucky ?

"Captain Steve Rogers." James came closer.

Wait. Steve Rogers ? My mind flashed to the skinny kid from Brooklyn back in Latham. They looked eerily similar. This man was tall, muscular and perfectly sculpted. But it couldn't be.
Unless Erskine..

"And who is the lovely lady you brought with you, Buck ?" Steve asked.

As I looked up to meet his gaze, his eyes grew even bigger.

"Holy cow, Elaine ?" Steve approached me with fast strides. I smiled at him. I still couldn't believe that 70 years later, I would meet Steven again. The first boy who ever asked me out.

"You're awfully late to our dance, Rogers. Here I was thinking you stood me up." Steve picked me up and twirled me around like I was light as a feather.

"Am I the only one confused right now ?" Tony stood to James, his face a mix of confusion and agression. He was ready to fight Steven, guns blazing.

Steven and I laughed.

"I met Steven back in Latham, while I worked for Erskine. He asked me out to dance while I was doing a check up on him. I was captured by Hydra the same night.  I thought Steven, well I thought he was dead. I'm also quite confused on how you and James know each other."

Steven looked to James.

"We are childhood best friends." They both said in unison.

I put two and two together. At the enlistment office Steven told me about his best friend being in the war, his best friend being James.

"And now here we are." Tony walked around the room.

"Lemme recap this, so Elaine met Rogers at the enlistment office, then Rogers got the serum from Erskine, became Captain America, while Elaine and Cyborg became killing machines for Hydra. "

Steve's glance searched my face.

I cleared my throat to speak.

"I met James briefly in the lab, while he was transforming. I felt the pain he went through but then we were both separated. I went off to work for Schmidt, Strucker and lastly Alexander Pierce. My last mission was to find James."

"And clearly you did." James had calmed down, flashing one of his disarming half smiles.

"Sounds like this reunion calls for a party ?" Tony exclaimed.

The sound of a pair of heels clicking on the stone floor.

"Did I hear the word party ?" Nat asked as she walked into the room, taking her place next to Steven, looking up to him, a look of adoration on her face as he returned her gaze.

Seems like Steven found another dance partner after all.
