After not hearing anything from Lexi in for a while, Satine decides to finally calm her nerves, sort of, and go pay a visit to the orphanage.

She walks right in through the door and ignores the confused looks of the older newcomers as she jogs up the stairs and goes right into her old room. Lexi looks over and her eyes go wide as she hurries over with a smile. Lexi covers her face while standing and Satine moves them to see the slow and happy tears streaming down her face before Lexi throws her arms around her neck.

"I miss you so much." She cries after a moment of silence while the others that gave Satine weird looks watch from the doorway with furrowed brows.

"I miss you too." She smiles. "Where're Noah and Emma?"

"Adopted." One of the new roommates nods upwards with her arms crossed.

Satine furrows her brows at the attitude and lets go of Lexi to turn to them.

"Who're you?" A boy asks.

"Old roommate." She tilts her head while taking Lexis hand and pulling her with her. "Excuse us." She nods towards the door.

They stare for a second before moving out of the way and she guides her outside the building and to the alley right beside it.

"What's with them?" She grimaces.

"They're exactly the type of roommate I didn't want." She shrugs slowly and she sighs.

"So, you're alone in here." She nods and she stays quiet. "Oh, come here." She grabs her shoulder with a sigh.

She pulls her into a hug around her neck and Lexi holds tight to her waist as the tears come strong again.

"If nobody else is going to do it, then I will find you somewhere to stay, somewhere to live, a family that will love you, okay?" She nods with raised brows and she stays quiet. "You shouldn't have to go through this alone, understand?" She asks and gets a nod into her chest in return. "о Боже."

Satine quietly steps into the common room to see all looking at Sam and Bucky with slightly wide-eyed, shocked looks on their faces. She furrows her brows before sticking her neck forward with raised brows of realization.

"So..." Sam nods. "Yeah. We're together." He nervous states and Satine's eyes go wide.

"Woo!" She throws her arms up in excitement and they quickly turn to her in fright. "Finally!"

"Did you know?" Steve points with a chuckle.

"Oh, I knew." She nods while stopping beside the pair. "I found out on accident." She smiles brightly. "A while ago."

"Seriously?" Tony nods with a smirk.

They all turn to the couple and they nod with tight-lipped grins, making them have to hold back laughs.

"How'd you find out?" Clint asks. "Or do we not wanna know?" He fails to hold back a laugh and the two roll their eyes with smiles.

"His door was cracked open." She points with a chuckle. "I went to shut it, but I heard someone else with him so I took a quick look and then almost freaked out because I was very excited." She shakes her head and hand. "They heard me gasp and were about ready to throw me off this much higher building and actually kill me." She nods with wide eyes and they nod sideways in agreement.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Pietro throws his hands.

"Hey, I told them that I wouldn't tell a soul and I kept that promise." She points while looking up at the two and they nod thankfully. "Didn't even tell Peter."

"No." He shakes his head with wide eyes and she chuckles.

"But I did hint at it." She turns back to the others.

"Yeah, you asshole." Sam furrows his brows and she chuckles.

"You know, the whole 'hey, what do you guys think about gay people?' thing." Bucky nods and they all laugh a bit while she nods with a grin.

"Here, let's do a headcount." She puts her hand up. "Who here is gay or at least half?" She points at them three and they all chuckle while shaking their heads. "Come on, Yelena, I know you are." She shakes her head and she nods with a small smile. "Four." She smiles. "Who else? I'm thinking, Nat or Wanda. Confess. This is the truth circle."

"Oh, my God." Tony laughs a bit behind his hand and she chuckles cutely.

"Me." Wanda chuckles after Pietro grabbed her hand and raised it for her, knowing the truth.

"Oh, I knew it." Satine claps excitedly. "That makes five out of twelve." She just keeps smiling. "One more and it'll be even." She shakes her head. "I beg of you, somebody else, please, be gay."

"Oh, my God." Tony hunches over a bit and she laughs.

"Peter?" She turns to him with raised brows and his jaw falls as their eyes go wide with laughs. "Anything?" She shakes her head.

"No." He shakes his head with raised brows and a chuckle.

"Oh, boo, whatever." She waves him off and he throws his hands in confusion while they just continue to laugh. "Definitely not Pietro." She shakes her head surely and he nods. "Vision is here for Wanda and Wanda only." She nods and Wanda chuckles cutely as he smiles a bit. "Not my father nor Clint for even a second." She states and he nods. "We have the God, the other soldier, the widow, and the science guy." She points.

"Nope." The men shake their heads while Nat just nods with a small grin.

"I knew it." She points with a bright smile. "Now it's even. Why'd it take you so long to say it?" She shakes her head with wide eyes.

"You were excited, I couldn't get it out." She shrugs and she nods sideways in understanding.

"Okay, cool, well, I'm done." She sits next to Peter and he shakes his head at her.

"I can't believe you." He jokes and she chuckles.

"I can." She teases and pats his cheek and he rolls his eyes while shaking his head with a small smile.
