I DON'T OWN PICTURE



"Only you could hit the man on accident field." Natasha laugh to Ivy in car. "I didn't mean to. He just get attracted to me after seeing me in only bras." She chuckle back. "I couldn't have done that." Wanda say ashamed and blushing. "I could walk naked in crowd without blinking a eye." She shrug. "Are you going to call that James?" Natasha ask curious. Ivy tilt her head on side while thinking. "Maybe, I at least should return his jacket to him." She answer. "He wasn't bad looking." Wanda chuckle. "No, he wasn't. Still I'm not sure he is my type." She answer. "What do you mean? He is good looking and clearly kind man." Natasha ask. 

"Exactly, he is kind man. He would freak out if he know what I really am. And he just felt so boring." Ivy explain. "Felt boring?" Wanda ask confuse. "Yes. Fairies are quite intuitive-" "Clint told about that." Natasha comment. "And he felt so ordinary, like any good man would. He probably don't have any big secrets or bad deeds." "You should still go at least on one date." Wanda usher. Natasha agree. Ivy groan. "Do I have to." "YES!" "Fiinee. I call him later on this day." She give up. Natasha and Wanda smirk to each others. 

Women gather their shopping backs in their arms and walk inside compound. "Did you empty whole stores?" Steve ask horrified. Tony glance at them and smile. "That isn't even that bad Cap." He assure him while Ivy blow a kiss to Steve and Wanda and Natasha chuckle to his face. They go to their ways. Ivy hum quietly while walking toward her room. For her surprise Loki come out of his room little before she reach hers. "Hi Loki." She greet him happily. "Hi Ivy." He greet her and turn to look at her. He freeze and stare at her in shock. She chuckle and smile widely. "Just little shopping trip, remember?" She tease him.

"Why you have someone's jacket on and why you smell like smoke?" Loki ask darkly from Ivy. She glance down. "Oh that, I saved some people in accident and had to use my shirt as bandage. One man gave me his jacket in return." She answer and shrug. "Can you open me my door?" She ask. He open it and let her inside. He follow her and close the door after them. She ignore him and go to drop bags in closet. "Who was that man?" She hear him asking from bedroom. She sigh and walk back there. "He was one doctor in scene." She answer and cross her arms. "Why you care about it?" She ask curious while tilting her head. "I don't." He answer quickly. 

Ivy sigh again and roll her eyes. "Do you want to join me outside? I think that I take a quick shower and go outside to read." She ask. "Maybe later." Loki answer grumpily and walk out of room. She frown confused. He isn't jealous, right? She wonder but shake it quickly off. That thought was ridiculous. She go to unpack her shopping and go to shower. She enjoy the lukewarm shower and the scent of her jasmine shower gel. She walk out of shower and use her air magic to dry herself. She put her hair in high ponytail and put on one of new summer dresses. 

Ivy walk out from bathroom, grab her book from coffee table and go outside. She flop on her hammock and hang her legs over the edge. She open her book and start to read it from where she stop last time. She read in peace for some time until someone approach her. She glance over her book the comer. "You really don't like to spend time inside." Bucky greet her. "No, I don't." She answer with smile. "May I?" He ask and point toward spot next to her in hammock. "Of course." She answer and move to make more space. He sit down and leave little space between them. She turn back to her book.

Bucky and Ivy stay in comfortable silence for awhile. "Natasha told us what you did. She and Wanda try to convince Steve that he should take that tracer off." He suddenly tell her. She turn to look at him surprised. "Really? I didn't do anything special." She answer. "You saved lives Ivy. It counts." He answer and smile a little to her. "Well, it doesn't matter to me. I could take it off at anytime if I want." She answer with a shrug. "What?" He ask in shock. She chuckle and raise her leg up. She summon little water droplet from leaf and command it to cut the tracer's strap. It drop on hammock. She grin and give it to Bucky. "Only reason I let it be this long was to show you that you can trust me." She explain, lower her leg and open her book again. "You really are full of surprises fairy." He answer amazed.

"Ivy, look at me for a second." Bucky ask suddenly. Ivy frown and turn to look at him. He stare carefully at her eyes. "What?" She ask confuse. "Your eyes are grey/blue with golden ring around them. They look amazing." He murmur quietly. She roll her eyes. "They are unique even for a fairy, I know." She answer bitterly and turn at her book again. "Wha-" "I see you already have company." Loki cut Bucky coldly off. She raise her head to look at him. 

"Hi Loki. You came." Ivy greet him with wide smile. "I clearly are not needed." He answer instead of a greeting and turn around. She frown confuse. "Hey.. Loki!" She call after him but he ignore her. She groan frustrated and slam her book shut. "What in world has gotten into him today." She complain and jump from hammock. "Ivy, I-" "We can talk later. Get that tracer to Rogers for me, thanks." She answer over her shoulder to Bucky and rush after Loki. 

"Loki! Wait!" Ivy yell to him and manage to grab his arm on his room's door. "What?!" He snap angrily. She let go and take a step back. "What is wrong? You have been acting weirdly." She ask worried. "I'm fine. You should return to Barnes. He clearly want to spend more time with you." He answer coldly. "But I invited you. He came to talk to me about today's incident." She explain. "I don't need your lies. Leave me alone." He snarl. She blink couple times in shock. Then anger wash over her. "Fine, be like that." She snap back and stomp back in her room. She slam door shut after her and throw the book on bed.

Ivy pace in her room to calm herself down, Loki's accuse that she lie to him hurt. She glance at paper with James's number and sigh. "I did promise to girls." She murmur and grab her phone from desk to distract herself. She dialed his number and press call. She tap her leg on ground while waiting his answer.

"Hello?"

"Hi, it is Ivy. From that train wreck."

"Oh, hi. I'm glad you call."

"Yeah, about your jacket. Can I bring it back to you tomorrow?"

"Yes, of course. I have day off. What about dinner at evening?"

"I'm not looking for a date."

"You can pay me back by joining me for dinner."

"Fiinee. Where and when?"

"What about Alice? 7pm?"

"Okay, meet you there then. Bye!"

"Can't wait, bye!"

Ivy end the call and groan. "Men." She mumble and put the phone back on desk. "Now I have to get a ride to there." She groan and facepalm.
