Winter's sister

Chapter 16

Shit. My whole body freeze feeling that someone is next to me. I slowly opened an eye to discover that it's Steve. His breathing is still heavy and constant. I now remember what happened last night. My wrist is still a little sore but nothing major.

I get up and go to the bathroom. On my way I grab some clean clothes and stuff them under my arm. The shower is incredible, is has many jets and even coloured lights that can be dimmed. Right now I don't feel like going crazy over the colours so I pick a warm white, and I put the luminosity really low. The water start running, the warmest possible, creating fogging in the whole piece. I feel the warm mist on my naked skin as I take off the light pyjama I was wearing the night before. Now that all my clothes are on the floor, I get in the shower.
I never had many skincare and shower products before, and I haven't open yet everything that Steve took for me at the store but right now I'm in the good mood for it. I want to take care of me for once. They're all disposed in the corner of the shower, on a big shelf. I start reading every labels and try figuring out what's the order. I start with exfoliation. There's 2 kind, one for the face and an other one for the body. After that I wash my face with a gel that smells earthy; like eucalyptus, woods and lavender, followed by scalp treatment, shampoo and conditioner. I then finish by washing my whole body with some gel and a wood brush that feels nice. Oh god the warm feeling on my whole skin just feels so good I don't want to get out of the shower but I've been in there for an eternity or two. I sadly get out and dry myself with a large soft towel. Now I have to get dressed. I put on an ordinary band t-shirt but my jeans won't get on, my skin is too sticky. I have to jump, and jump again. They got a little higher. Then I feel the wetness under my feet as the floor is getting closer and closer to my face. Bang. My nose met the floor as I feel it crack. There's a pool of blood on the tiles.

Knock knock.

Oh gosh, I bet Steve heard me. I hold my nose as I open the door. His eyes widened as he see blood dripping on me and what's on the floor.

- The floor was wet. I said rapidly. I slipped.

Ugh. Why am I that clumsy?

He looks a little reassured while he takes the few steps to the sink and turn the water on for me. The water stop all my bleeding and take care of my bruises pretty fast and I'm top shape for the day.

–I'll help you clean that mess, said Steve. I'll go get an other towel and some product.

Waiting for him to come back, I start wiping the blood with the one I already had. It's all black so I don't have to stress about staining it. We finished cleaning it in silence when he finally start talking.

–What had you planned doing today?

– I don't know, maybe I could train, I usually trained a couple of hours everyday.

– Do you mind if I come with you? We could spare.

–Of course you can come with me! But don't be sad when you'll lose. I answered playfully.

– We're gonna see about that. I'll go make breakfast, meet me in the kitchen when're you're ready, you should change your t-shirt too, it's soaking in blood.

– Perfect, see you then.

I'm now alone in my room so I get changed in sports clothes, take my sneakers with me and go to the kitchen. Wanda and Nat are casually sitting at the island counter, eating breakfast. Stevie is making toast and eggs but he looks like he's struggling. He looks a little lost, and by reading Wanda's and Nat's mind, he's been looking helpless since he started cooking. When he heard me chuckle at the situation, he turn around and see my orange eyes.

–Hey what are you doing? What does orange mean again?

–Mhmm, are you sure you want to know?

Wanda and Nat both look my way intrigued by that conversation, they don't know that much about my powers, guess they're curious.

–Mind control and reading. I've seen in both darlings memories here how a great cook you are!

–Hey! Don't laugh at me! I'm doing what I can! And I'm sure it's still going to taste good. You should at least try it before you judge.

–Okay okay we're gonna see.

 
He then go back to his pan and a couple of minutes later he proudly put 2 plates on the counter, one in front on me and the other one on my left (A/N; wink wink). I take a first bite and it's surprisingly good. The taste, the texture everything except the look. I'm impressed! I tell him in his mind. He looks shocked and slowly turn his head my way then stare at me right in my eyes.

–What was that?

That?

–Yes that.

-Oh I'm just slightly manipulating your mind so I can insert thoughts in your head then you think i'm talking to you. 

-You're what? Why didn't you tell me sooner?

-I just never had the occasion! Now you know!

Wanda and Nat are laughing hearing my comments and seeing Steve's reaction. He look at them, surprised.

- Did y'all know?

- Yes we know, answered Wanda. She didn't had to tell me, I read her mind and se was reading mine at the same time, and together we developped our way of talking to each other like that. The last time we even found a way to include Nat, by doing the same thing she just did to you. Isn't it practical.

- Could be, said Steve, just surprising at first. I thought I was crazy for a second.

Suddently there's a voice, screaming from the hallway. It approached and we can finally understood what that voice said.

- Steve! Where are you Steve?

Oh it's Bucky.

- Y/N wait here for me.

I don't alway obbey what he tells me but by the tone of his voice I understand that right now I should.
