Don't Mess With Me

Chapter 26

"I am a small woman James, a gun is just a good way to protect myself"

"I can protect you"

"I got the gun 5 years ago you weren't there 5 years ago, and if you can protect me why do I have a small black eye and a cut on my lip"

"Okay so maybe yesterday I couldn't but I will from here on out"

"We will see"

Both of them headed to the elevator picking up Morgan first, James stayed in the elevator so it didn't seem like they were together, watching her walk to the Stark door he watched her hips sway and her hair bounce with each step, walking like a model, she was a model, a former model, but she was now his secret model. She was in black jeans with a fitted pink long sleeve bodysuit and a cropped brown cardigan over top keeping her cleavage out. Walking back in the elevator hand and hand with Morgan "Hey Morgan" James speaks with cheerful tone "Hi Bucky'' she releases Maddie hand wrapping her arms around James legs, he rubs her hair making it a mess "James don't ruin her hair" squatting down next to Morgan fixing her hair that was no longer laying flat on her head. Walking into the kitchen on the team's floor Morgan was the first one in running to hug her dad. Maddie walks in a few steps behind Morgan and James following behind "Look at the skank walking in like she owns the place." Without even flattering in her steps she walks straight to Rebecca standing inches from her face now the same height as here with her chunky laced up boots "You better watch your mouth, there's a child present" In a serious tone looking her in her eyes taking a few steps back before turning around facing away from Rebecca, "You ready Morgan? Mr. Lee said he needed to talk to me about your reading" she nodded her head putting her hand out grabbing each other's hand walking out flipping off Rebecca so Morgan couldn't see. "You don't cuss in front of my child Rebecca. You cuss in front of her one more time and you are gone got it"

"Yes sorry Tony won't happen again" she speaks low, putting her head down. James watches from the island at the conversation now looking over at Tony "So when are we leaving for the mission?" Taking a deep breath he looks at James walking past him gesturing with his hand to follow him. Following Tony out of the kitchen to the hallway "Barnes I know you are going to hate me but you aren't going, I can't leave Maddie and Rebecca here alone, I would hire security but a lot of them are already booked and between you and me Maddie would probably beat them up and then that's a lawsuit, I trust you to keep them separate or at least keep them from killing each other. I know you don't like Maddie but I can't leave Steve here. He would be on Rebecca's side and I know you don't like Rebecca either since she took your best friend and all, so can you do that?" low key James was happy as hell he got to stay home and be with Maddie alone, not completely alone but for at least a day and a half he would have her and no watchful eyes, but he hated that he was going to have to deal with a possible fight mode Maddie. Was she hot when she was mad? Hell ya, but he also doesn't want to see her hurt or using that gun. Rolling his eyes like he hates this "Fine but what if Maddie kills me first before she gets to Rebecca?"

"Then we found out a little 100 pound girl killed a super soldier and we now have evidence on how to kill a super soldier without a bullet to the head, this will be great for research projects in the future" rolling his eyes "alright" walking back into the kitchen to see Rebecca sitting on the couch on her phone.

"Hey Tony" Maddie says walking into the kitchen looking around only seeing Rebecca sitting on the couch, turning on her heel walking out she heard Rebecca mumble something under her breath but she didn't care at that point she needed to talk to Tony. Heading up to the quinjet floor she sees Tony and Pepper giving each other a kiss "Tony, Pepper?" they unlock their lips looking at her "Sorry to interrupt but I talked with Mr. Lee today, he said Morgan is doing great in her reading to the point she is reading 2 grade levels ahead, so he was wondering if you guys wanted her to stay in her class for reading time or go to 2nd grade to read with them or maybe just go to 1st grade." They both look at each like they are talking to each other in their minds they both speak at the same time "1st grade for 2 weeks then she can go to 2nd if she feels comfortable" chuckling at them talking at the same time "Got it, so when are you guys coming back"
