Chapter 61

After a while we decided to make some dinner, it was 7:30 and the others had already eaten without us, but we needed a while to calm down and be normal again, but now I was strangely in a good mood feeling the urge to do something.

So we went to the living room, once we arrived there we saw Bucky, Nat and Steve were making cocktails, without me?!

"Hey, finally hungry?" Steve asked and I chuckled, but I noticed Loki checking if I was okay with that comment, god I hoped that was going to wear off soon...

"Can I steal Mr metal for a second?" I asked pointing to Bucky, Steve chuckled and nodded, I took Bucky with me to the couch ready to tell him what happened.

"What happened?" he asked already making me smile out of my control. We sat down close to each other so we couldn't be eavesdropped on by anyone.

"Well, he saw my memories until the age of 10," I said and Bucky looked surprised like he wasn't the one who suggested it... "How was it?" he asked and I sighed.

"It was a lot for him, he had a hard time seeing some stuff, but he did ask questions and he is trying really hard to understand me," I said 

"What about you?" he asked dryly and I smiled. He kept waiting for me to give an answer but I really didn't think about that before.

"I don't know, disturbing and confronting, but it was buried deep so the impact wasn't that bad, the hardest thing was seeing Loki watch everything happen," I explained and Bucky just listened carefully to what I said.

"Are you going to show him beyond 10 years old?" he asked and I sighed.

"I don't know yet, I want to see how this dries up first, see how he handles it, I don't want him to treat me any different, right now he does, but it's still fresh," I told Bucky softly.

"Do what's best for you," he said leaning in smiling and I smiled back, we put our foreheads to each other like when I was a kid and it was comforting.

We walked back to the group and I saw Loki warming up some leftover soup, Clint made it, and he was the best cook here by far. Nat smiled at me every once in a while making me wonder what was going on inside her brain.

"Celene, I have something for you..." Steve said walking to the fridge, I frowned when he took out a pie-shaped thing. He put a piece on a plate and gave it to me with a spoon, I took a bite still confused and it was delicious.

"What is this? it's really good!" I said pointing to the plate making everyone chuckle around me.

"It's an ice cream pie," he said smiling and I thanked him, I kept the rest for after the soup, since that was healthier. We ate and laughed, it was nice to be with a small group, really connecting and having conversations.

Bucky and Nat got closer I could tell, him and Steve also and that made me happy.

Loki and Bucky were going along much better, it surprised me how cheerfully Loki was with Buck, but he and Natasha weren't better, they were too similar, and they didn't trust each other.

I was close with all of them, I would trust them with my life.

After I ate everything feeling very full I excused myself leaving, I even left Loki behind, but I wanted to check in on Peter, I haven't really spoken to him since we arrived and he was really anxious.

I knocked on his door and I heard him say come in, so I opened the door and saw him sitting on his bed playing on a gaming device.

"Hey Parker, how're you doing?" I asked closing the door, he held up his shoulders looking at me but he was still focused on his game at the same time.
