Match made in... hell

Chapter 4: Matchmaking

While we sat in the car, I was deep in thoughts trying to think of a way to keep them from seeing my leg and foot. I was definitely going to keep my socks on, but they were not quite long enough to cover it all. I just had to pick up a dress I really liked that was very long and take it. I can't give them a chance to give me a short dress.

When we arrived at the dress store, I immediately darted towards a long satin like dress. It was dark green and complimented my skin, hair color and eyes very well I thought and I was really happy my plan was going to work, when Nat pulled up a short dress.

„You'd look so hot in this!" she exclaimed. Shiiiit... I was just going to have to pretend to try it on and tell them it did't fit.

„Maybe" I said and took it from her. Before they could give me any more dresses, I went to the dressing room. I kept my socks on, just in case, and decided to actually try on the short dress. It was a sparkly taupe dress and it looked really nice, if it weren't for my dress. I put it on and I gotta admit, I really liked it. BUt as I looked down, I saw my foot and I just... I couldn't do it. I quickly peeled it of and chucked it in the corner. I quickly slipped into the long dress and looked down in the mirror. It didn't look as nice as the short one, but still very good.

„Are you ok in there?" Wanda shouted.

„Oh, uhm yeah, I'll show you the dress I chose!" I said and opened the curtain to reveal my green dress.

„You look stunning, but what about the other dress?" Nat asked.

„Unfortunately it didn't fit..." I said with a sad look on my face.

„Oh no, that's too bad. I think it was the last one they had." Nat pouted. „But the green dress suits you very well!" she said and smiled at me.

„Agreed!" Wanda said, so I changed back into my old clothes and then paid for the dress.

After we arrived at the tower, Nat and Wanda demanded to help me get ready, so they curled my hair and put it in a loose bun and put on some light, but pretty make up.

„The guys are gonna fall head over heel for you!" Nat said and winked at Wanda. „Is there any specific guy you would want this to work on?" Nat asked innocently.

„Uhm... I..." I thought about it. Maybe there was, but I didn't want to tell them. „Not really." I said.

„Hm, ok. Well they are all going to fall for you anyway! We're going to leave you alone so you can put on your dress. See you later!" Wanda said and they waved at me, just to dissappear through the door seconds later. I put on some sneakers and changed into shorter socks, since they were more comfortable and nobody was going to see the foot anyway, and then I climbed into my dress. Then I left to get everything going for the party.

At about 8 p.m. everyone started arriving. It was just a small party, because I knew Bucky. He wouldn't have liked it if it were big.
While the others kept on dancing, Tony suggested to the avengers (aka us) that we could sit down and play a game of truth or dare. Thor had brought some of his Asgardian liqueur that he put on the table and said „for later. For you, you and me." he said and pointed at Steve, Bucky, me and himself. They all knew I was a super soldier, but none of them knew much about my past, let alone my leg. They just knew Hydra experimented on me and tried brainwashing me, but that's all they know.

„I don't know if I want to drink tonight, but we'll see" Steve said. He basically never liked drinking.

„Partypooper! Anyway, I'm gonna start! Steve... Truth or dare?" Tony asked.

„Hmm.. Dare. And I am NOT a party pooper."

„Ok then. Take two shots of Thors Asgardian Wonder stuff." he demanded with a smirk. Steve rolled his eyes, but did as he was told.
