Slowly but surely

Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning excited. Tonight was the party and it was some of the few times I got to interact with people other than the ones who lived in the tower, or Peter. 

I got dressed in some leggings and a sports bra and just brushed my teeth and face. I headed down to the gym to hopefully get a quick workout in. It was something I didn't do as much as I should of.

To my luck, Steve and Sam were already working out in the gym and they were some of the best people to get stuck working out with. Steve was always very serious and motivating and Sam was always struggling and cracking jokes so he made me feel better about my abilities.

"morning" I chirped before hopping on the treadmill to start with a bit of cardio.

"morning" Steve smiled he always seemed to be in a good mood.

"How nice of you to show your face to this gym again y/n" Sam teased and I rolled my eyes at him. 

I ran on the treadmill for fifteen minutes before deciding to spend some time on the Stairmaster, I only managed five minutes before I let it defeat me. I was already out of breath and ready to walk out but Steve had managed to grab me and pull me back into the room, it was the stupid super soldier strength. 

Sam was conveniently laughing at me as Steve made me do circuits. I couldn't stand by and let that happen.

"Sam I think you should join me," I said smirking at him and he looked at me wide-eyed, Steve nodded happily.

"That's a great idea," he said and Sam groaned dropping his weights.

"I'm gonna get you back" he mumbled before starting the circuits with me. Both of us were a sweaty mess by the time Steve freed us from his captivity. 

I stumbled my way to the kitchen where conveniently Wanda and Pietro were talking. 

"Hi," I mumbled barely getting my words out.

"What happened to you," Wanda asked taking in my disheveled state. 

I downed a whole bottle of water before answering her. 

"Steve made me workout," I said 

"When's the last time you worked out" Pietro laughed and I gave him a dirty look.

"Mind you I'm buff," I said before attempting to flex my biceps "Ow ok that hurts never mind"

"Wanda do you want to go get ready with me for tonight's party," I asked and she nodded eagerly 

"What about me," Pietro asked offended 

"Mean people don't get invites," I said

"First can someone make me breakfast or lunch or just whatever meal it's time for before I pass out," I said taking a seat on one of the bar stools?

"Of course, I can," Wanda said getting up. 

"See," I said nodding towards Wanda "that's why I like her better" 

We all ate the food Wanda made then she and I headed towards my room whilst Pietro did the dishes and huffed in the process.

"I'm gonna quickly shower how about you pick out a nice dress for yourself," I said and Wanda nodded. 

I took a very quick shower and put on a robe I walked into my closet to see Wanda buried under a pile of clothes. I obviously laughed before helping her out and picking a dress for her and then myself. 

We started with our hair, Wanda blow-dried mine and then I curled hers and did a simple half up half down style. I just curled the ends of my hair. 

After her hair I did both of our makeup, I kept her look simple as she wasn't quite used to the feeling of makeup on her skin, it wasn't like Hydra gave her access to concealer or mascara and I did a soft glam look on myself.
