-1 month later-
I had finally healed enough after a month of being almost completely on bed rest to move around freely without pain.
"Hey! Look at you on your feet. You look great!" Clint said as he stopped in my doorway.
"Yeah, I feel great. Was actually going to ask Nat if she wanted to go shopping. I think I'm gonna need something new to wear for tonight's party." I said and just then I heard Nat yell from her open door across the hall.
"Oh my god, yes! Get ready, we're going now!" She yelled in excitement. I laughed and out my shoes on, grabbing my leather jacket Clint had gotten me for my last birthday.
"I'll see you later, sweetie. Have fun with Nat." He said and nudged me out of my own room.
On our way out, I saw Bucky leaned against the kitchen counter. An almost identical look to what I have on now. Jean jacket, black hoodie underneath, dark jeans, and combat boots. I smiled and took in the coincidental look. He noticed me and chuckled.
"Hey, you stole my look." He accused.
"Oh no, I didn't steal it. Just so happens we have the same taste in clothes." I said, stopping to chat with him for a moment.
"Oh come on you two. Stop flirting. We have clothes to go shop for. Bucky, just you wait. You'll want to eat her up tonight when you see her." Nat said and pulled me out the door but not before I saw Bucky's cheeks flush bright red.
Nat and I shopped around for hours. I got myself an entire new wardrobe at this point. We also managed to grab the perfect outfit for tonight. We even stopped to have lunch together and she learned more about me and I learned more about her. She and I are alike in a lot of ways. She's very quickly becoming same best friend level as Clint. So are alot of the others too though. They all have been so kind and welcoming. There was even one night when I had actually woke up screaming from a nightmare and Bucky was the one who came to the rescue. Again. He rubbed my back until I calmed down. He didn't speak, just stayed there with me until I went back to sleep.
We made our way back to the compound and I brought all my things in. There's only an hour until the party starts so I hopped in the shower.
I decided to keep my hair down and straightened it. I applied my usual makeup. Black eye makeup and my lips are already naturally pretty red so I never use lipstick. I put on my ripped black skinny jeans followed by my black crop top and a military style utility jacket of sorts that I thought would complete the outfit but it didn't. So I opted for the new black leather one that I got today. I put on my combat boots and stood in front of the mirror.
"Girrrl you're hot." Nat said and closed the door behind her quickly.
"Thanks. I just need to add something and I can't figure out what it is." I said, looking around the room.
"Oh yeah. My rings. I take them off when I shower." I said and walked over to my dresser where I had set them down. 2-3 per hand.
"So, I'm gonna escort you out there but first.. Jarvis? Lights off please." She said and I waited.
"The whole compound or just Ms. Ackles's room?" Jarvis asked.
"The whole compound." She responded and before I could even blink, the lights went out.
"Now, Clint has set everything up. Lights and all. I'll guide you out there, just keep a hand on my shoulder." She said I did as she said. We made our way out to the common room where I had seen earlier had been rearranged to make room for a stage against the back window. My free hand brushed someone's arm as Nat and I walked towards the stage. I could just barely make out the metal clasps on Clint's jacket.
I stood beside him and grabbed the mix in front of me. Tapping his arm to signal I was ready. I barely caught Nat making her way to a different area of the room.
The sound of Clint's song Main Attraction beginning and the light settling on him. Keeping me in the dark. He began singing and I tapped my foot and nodded my head to the beat.
As the chorus came around, it was my time to chime in.
"Now baby let's ride
We got nothing but time
You get all the reactions
You're the main attraction
It's no surprise
God, I like your style
You're the perfect distraction
You're the main attraction!" I sang along with Clint.
—Nat's POV—
I watched as the lights switched on and surrounded Dani. She began to sing along with the chorus of Clint's song. Her voice like honey. I looked around the room and noticed one person in particular smirking in her direction. Bucky.
I walked over and stood beside him.
"She's good, huh?" I asked in his ear so he would hear me. All he did was smile and nod. Not tearing his eyes from her. I knew he would be the one to become attracted to her. She's perfect for him. Exactly his type.
The song finished and Clint hugged Dani. The room erupted into cheers and clapping.
"Alright, now Dani has something she wrote herself and would like to sing it for all of us. You're in for a treat, I promise." Clint said and hopped of the stage, coming to stand beside me.
I watched Dani lean bend down on the stage and say something to Thor who graced us with his presence yesterday. He smiled and stared out the back window for a moment, causing a thunder and lightning storm to be her background.
"Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over
We down
We're getting on fire
We're raising up higher
The bottle is up
We're over the top
It's time to get vile
The time our life
Is happenin' now
We're out of control
Together we're rolling, over and over!" She sang, dancing as she did so. Not losing her breath for even a moment. I glanced back over to Bucky who had sat down with a drink in hand, leaned forward and watching her vigilantly. I'm not the only one who noticed. Clint noticed it too.
"I knew one of them were bound to fall for her with just one song." He said to me in my ear. I smiled and punched his arm.
"Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sun get in the wind is sent to the thunder
We gotta rock, rock
Party 'til the last shot
Fill that jug and raise your cup up
We gotta chug, chug
Better take it, don't stop
Hey, come drink until the last drop
So please, just let us burn down this place
And we will end up in the hall of fame
Let's get ready for the drinking games
So come and sip until the last drop
Over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sunken in the wind, listening to the thunder rolling over and over, we
Down the river, we're drunk and all of our thumbs went up in the air
Sun get in the wind is sent to the thunder!" She finished singing the song and put the mic back in its stand. Every single one of us standing and cheering for her.
