Fearless

Amara

"Alright kids," Sam clapped his hands together, his eyes roamed over everyone in the group with a wide smile on his face. "We're all here to have fun–"

"But stick with your buddies." Bucky cut in with a nod and his arms crossed over his chest. "We don't need anyone getting lost."

The carnival lights flashed around them while eerie music and the smell of fried food filled the air. Amara was buzzing with excitement. Halloween was her favorite time of year. All of the spooks and haunts that lured people in, the costumes, and candy. Especially the candy. Her mouth watered the moment she spotted the Caramel Apple hut when they first walked in.

Yelena nudged her side before leaning into her. "They do realize we are adults." She whispered with a grin. Amara bit back a laugh as a throat cleared ahead of them. She glanced up to see Bucky sporting a frown though the amusement in his eyes contradicted it.

"Don't come running to me when you face a clown Belova." He challenged.

"Do not worry that pretty little head Barnes," Yelena smirked, "Amara is scarier than a puny clown."

Amara laughed and shook her head, "Have you met me?"

Golden eyes landed on her with a smirk, "I have and you are. Do not piss this one off." Yelena laughed, wrapping her arm around Amara's shoulders, "she is a fiery one."

"Oh my god, would you stop." Amara laughed.

By now even Peter and Kate were snickering together as they watched the exchange. Sam waggled his eyebrows at Amara while Bucky fought to bite back a grin. She was the least scary of them all but Yelena never failed to make her laugh.

"You've all got your wrist bands?" Bucky huffed in weak attempt to hide his amusement.

"Be smart, stay safe," Sam nodded, "meet back here in a few hours for the bus home."

"Aye Aye, Cap!" Peter and Kate chimed at the same time with phony salutes that had Amara doubling over in laughter.

"What should we do first?" Peter tucked his hands into the bomber jacket he wore, his nose already reddened from the chill night air.

"Oh?" Yelena frowned at him, "You're wanting to stay in a group?"

"What's wrong Pete, you scared and need her to protect you?" Kate laughed, pretending to hide behind Amara and pushing her gently in front.

"Hey, leave me out of it," Amara protested. "I'm just here for the candy apples. Anything scarier than that is for you super heroes to deal with."

"Well there's hardly a queue so we can go there and eat them while we're looking around," Kate suggested, knowing just how sweet Amara's tooth was and knowing that she was a dog with a bone until it was sated.

Amara grinned, "Yes!" Pumping her fist in the air, she grabbed Yelena's arm and began to tug her in the stall's direction.

Peter and Kate followed behind them, grumbling good-naturedly but as they approached the stall's counter they didn't hesitate with their orders.
