Soulmates

Slip

"So what do we do now?" Steve asks looking at Bucky. "We let her chose." Bucky simply states. "So we tell her we're both her soulmates?"

"We both ask her out, get to know her. See who in the end she wants to be with. And then we'll tell her we're both her soulmates."

You're out by the pool when Tony comes out and sits next to you. "Y/n I need to ask you something and you have to be honest." Wow, great start to a conversation. "Okay. Sure. What is it?"

"Did you see color with Steve and Barnes?" Of course it was about this. "Tony I don't see what that has to do with anything..."

"I need to know y/n." Why? Why did he need to know? You were only willing to admit it to Nat because you were drunk.

Now you're sober and admitting you've found your soulmate is the last thing you want to do. Especially because you don't know which one it really is. "I...w-why?"

"It effects how I place you in missions. If we have to defuse a bomb, do I send you to do it? Will you be able to know which wire it is if I tell you to cut the red one? Or do I need to send Banner, Natasha, Wanda or Vision to do it? Someone I know can tell the difference between red and blue? Because I know they can see color?"

Tony had a point. As much as you hated to admit it. "Okay...I did see color. I can. Just don't tell anyone Tony."

"I won't. But why not?" It was simple. You weren't ready. "I'm not ready to know which one it is. Everyone I've ever loved has died and if I know which one is my soulmate, then I'll lose them too and I can't."

The truth. Like a serum. You laid it all out to Tony. "They're both practically indestructible y/n." You knew that. But practically, isn't fully. They could both still die.

"I know. But so was my last...I mean-uhm I know. But that doesn't mean they won't get hurt." Damn it. A slip. So close. You were so close to telling Tony the real reason you were scared. "Your last?"

Shit. He heard. "Oh nothing. But even super soldiers aren't indestructible Tony." Tony, still pressed about the slip he heard. "Are you gonna tell me what you meant by last?"

"I don't know what you mean..." Thank god, Sam comes in and interrupts. "So. You can see color. I wonder who your soulmate...isn't."

The same smug smirk on his face as always. What the hell did he mean by who it isn't. Does he know something? "W-what?"

"Oh nothing. So it's Steve or Bucky. Good options. Lucky women." Indeed. You are a very lucky women. The former Winter Soldier and Captain America himself...
