"ORDER!" 

Tony banged his plastic gavel that he had indeed bought for himself but denied it. The team had been chatting with each other, rejecting his authority to begin the meeting. Valerie, however, sat in a swivel chair at the long glass table, waiting patiently. 

"This better be worth my time, Stark," Natasha Romanoff's raspy voice was heard. "Rogers and Vision were about to have a ping-pong battle and I had money on the synthezoid." 

"It's true," Vision remarked. "Perhaps Mr. Rogers could use the time to reconsider." 

A laugh escaped Valerie's mouth. Steve made a 'pshh' sound and waved him off. 

"That is about as close to trash talk as I think Vision is capable of," Sam Wilson grinned. 

"Well, as interested as I am in your extracurriculars, this meeting is actually of importance," Tony assured, turning the projector on at the front of the room. 

"Are we debating what temp to keep the AC at?" Nat retorted. 

"No, you all are getting new roomies! Say yay," He sang. 

"Who?" Bruce asked. "And please don't say Thor, last time he visited he destroyed my bathroom. In all manners of speaking. If he does, he cannot summon Mjolnir. End of story." 

Laughs erupted at the memory of Thor calling his hammer through multiple walls into Banner's bathroom while bored on the toilet. Valerie had never personally met the god but heard of his antics. 

"No, Thor is still sleeping soundly in his big castle. We are now the proud owners of, drumroll please," Tony paused but was met with the team rolling their eyes. "No? Ok. Mr. Bucky Barnes!" 

Steve visibly smiled. Sam clapped sarcastically and Natasha shook her head in annoyance. Valerie had heard stories of Bucky Barnes and all he endured during his time as the Winter Soldier. She had only heard his name mentioned by Steve and at times, in detest, Sam Wilson. 

"Mr. Barnes has completed his solo mission to assassinate the last HYDRA member and is ready to return as a regular member of the team," Tony spoke. 

"I, personally see it as a positive thing," Vision spoke with a confident smile. 

"That's because you haven't met Bucky," Nat scoffed. "He is an excellent fighter, yes, but he is kind of a dick. No offense, Steve." 

Steve rolled his eyes. "He just takes some time to warm up to you. Once you get to know him like I do, you'll love him." 

"He called me an imbecile within forty seconds of meeting me." Nat deadpanned. 

"As I said, takes some time to warm up." 

"How long was Mr. Barnes a member of the team before his solo mission?" Vision asked. 

"He wasn't a team member for long before he was sent on a mission to take down the remaining HYDRA members. That was over a year ago. He left right before Valerie started here," Nat replied.

"Yeah, but when he was here he was not a big team player." Sam deadpanned.  

"Maybe he just needs to feel safe in the group before he can let down his guard," Valerie offered, finally speaking up. "I felt super intimidated by you all at first, but now I feel comfortable." 

Wanda smiled and nodded in support. 

"Perhaps having Dr. Harris here will be helpful to him in terms of understanding his behavior," Vision agreed.
