Later that day after having cooked dinner with Wanda for all the hungry people in the compound, I decided to treat myself to a relaxing bath. I pulled my hair into a messy bun atop of my head and started letting lukewarm water into the tub. I found a selection of bath salts, melts and even those fizzy bath bombs that Wanda made me buy the last time we were shopping. She said it was a full experience. I grabbed a bag of lavender scented epsom salts and a bar of soap and some lavender bubble bath and poured a gracious amount into the water. I went into the closet to pick out a set of white lingerie. The bra was composed of delicate lace and sheer mesh. Beneath the underwire the bra continued in a corset style. I even had bought some new jewelry for my belly button that I decided to change out after my bath.
I had gotten it pierced on my second to last run in the late 90's. I grew fond of it so I kept it. I grabbed a baggy white shirt and the matching thongs to the bra.

When I got back to the bathroom, it smelled of lavender and the tub was almost full of bubbles.

I let my clothes fall to the floor and set my foot into the tub, into the heavenly warm water. I sank into the tub until the bouts of bubbles hit right under my chin. My sore muscles relaxed and I asked F.R.I.D.A.Y to play some classic music.

I closed my eyes and I let my mind wander.

"I now pronounce you cyborg and wife. You may kiss your bride, Barnes." Sam Wilson spoke as he closed the book. James had lost a bet to Sam a few weeks prior to our wedding, so he got his license to become an ordained minister online and donned a wine coloured suit and smug smile on his lips he married us. James wore this beautiful black suit with leather lapels and a wine colored tie. His long hair was neatly tied in a sage green satin ribbon at the nape of his neck.
I had picked out a cream coloured straight a-line dress, with a intricate lace bodice and mesh off the shoulder straps lined with delicate lace. The skirt was hemmed in scallops with beautiful flower embroidery. Instead of the white bow the dress came with I had it altered and the tailor added a sage green silk ribbon to match the one in James' hair. I wore simple cream colored heels with a small platform. My bouquet was composed of dark red roses, baby's breath and a multitude of leafy greens, all held together by cream colored ribbon and burlap. My bridesmaids Yelena and Wanda wore sage green tulle dresses while Nat wore a dark red much shorter version. The rest of the guest consisted of pretty much everyone that either worked or lived at the compound.
Including Ruby, who was the one who walked me down the makeshift aisle, in form of a cream coloured satin carpet that was running along the garden of Tony Stark's countryside residence to the piano rendition of Harry James' It's been a long long time.
The guests cheered as James grabbed me by my hips and tilted me down and kissed me in a theatrical fashion, which made the crowd go absolutely nuts...

A voice belonging to Steven Rogers boomed through the closed bathroom door and ripped me out of my daydream.

"Elaine, I need your help. Buck told me you have an eye for design." he said while slightly knocking at the door.

"Just gimme a second, Steven."

I grabbed the towel from the rack next to the tub, got out of it, simultaneously rubbing the leftover bubbles off my body.
I took my cream coloured, plushy robe off the hook that was attached to the door and quickly slipped into it and tied the belt firmly over my stomach.

Unlocking the door, Steven was standing there in a dusty blue crew neck sweater and his hair was not neatly combed back but the strands hung loosely over his forehead. He looked relaxed, comfy. Nat suited him well.
