Fire starter (Ana X Bucky)

40

(Bucky POV)

Last three months I've spent practically every day in the lab with Ana. Today I was reading her a new book I picked up. 

No one argues what I'm doing. Its therapeutic to talk to her even if she doesn't respond. It keeps me from breaking things like I did the first few days she was in the chamber. I had crashed mentally so badly, I had to be sedated and forced to extended therapy sessions.

Natasha comes into the room and drops a white box with a blue plastic handle on top of Tony's desk.

" Nat..honey, w-what...what's that?" Bruce asks nervously taking his glasses off and cleaning them.

"Its the eggs." She says nonchalantly. I turn to look at them knowing exactly what eggs they were talking about.

"What?..WHY DO YOU HAVE MY DAUGHTERS EGGS ON MY TABLE? GET THEM OFF." Tony nearly yells trying to hide a disgusted face. We all stare at him. Did he just call Ana his daughter? "What?" He scans our faces. Natasha crosses her arms over her chest and raises an eyebrow.

"Daughter?"

"Well yea. She left us adoption papers so I signed them. Pepper and I are officially her parents..." he squints his eyes to think then turns to me. "I guess that means you're my son in law..so I can threaten to kill you if you hurt her..wait..I just did" I let out laugh

"Right...like you can take me old man" I joke back.

"Um excuse me" He feign being hurt by placing his hand on his chest in an exaggerated manner..."but your older than me grandpa..wait..that means my daughter is dating a man older than me...shit" I laugh again "I need a drink" he rushes out not looking at me again.

"When do you think he'll notice I can call him dad now?" Nat flushes red trying not to fall over from laughter.

"Oh please call him that when I'm around..make it an early wedding gift" she pleads with a huge smile.

"Absolutely" I wink at her happy that messing with tony is going to bring at least someone  else joy too.

"C-can we get back to..um...the...um.." Bruce nervously points at the box

"Oh yea. You mentioned once that stem cells can help with regeneration.  I figured we have her eggs. They aren't aging like she is, maybe cuz they are on ice. But what if we can use this to help?" Bruce thinks for a minute, a smile slowly growing on his face. He walks over to her giving her a soft kiss on her cheek.

"I thought I was the genius, turns out I'm marrying one."

"Mm do you like that in a fiance? Does the big guy?" She tries to whisper but with my enhanced hearing I painfully heard all of it, even Bruce making a sound I never want to hear again. 

"I'm still here" I call out to them trying to find where I left off last time I read for Ana. Bruce clears his throat grabbing the box and walking away from Natasha. From the side of my eyes I can see his face turn red, then slightly green up, then go back to normal. I guess not getting some from his girl pissed off the Hulk.

"Can someone tell me why on gods green earth is Tony day drinking half a bottle of Scotch again?" Steve walks in fully suited up. The triplets hot on his heels, suited up themselves.

I let out a snort still looking into the book to hide my over enjoyment of the situation. Natasha jumps up onto Tony's desk sitting on it knowing it would piss him off some more. "Oh just that he realized his daughter is dating a man twice his age is all." I look over just in time to watch her shrug then snatch a bag of snacks off his desk, opening it and offering it to the triplets.
