Everyone always says that being the daughter of a superhero must be so cool. I guess they're right but I don't think they realize that if we are the daughter of some heros then we're going to be a part of the superhero life. Especially when Bucky Ba...
It's been 3 years now. I miss my dad everyday even more. Everyone left except for Nat, Steve and Rhodes. School is, well, manageable I guess. I mean, I'm still friends with Reyna and I even made one or two more friends. Well, they just don't look at me weird. But unfortunately, there's still Crystal and her gang that bully me. I stopped caring about them a long time ago though. I also started liking history a lot. It's my favorite subject. I've started training to get better control of my powers too. I truly see my improvement, it's crazy. I also started painting even though I'm not good. Rhodes says I'm doing all this to distract myself from my father. But that's not true, right? No, I'm doing this for myself. Well, I think. Doesn't matter, today is Halloween! The best day of the year! I mean I can be whatever I want for one day and that is amazing. That's why I look straight out of the 1700s in my gorgeous lilac dress.

Did I say that I sew now? Anyway, Nat drops me off and I'm sure I'll win the costume contest. When I enter my school, there's many people staring at me. But at least, today I see wonder in their eyes instead of the usual disgust. Reyna waves to me and I go up to her.

(That's what she's wearing)
"Hey! Love the dress. It's amazing!" She tells me.
I blush a little at her comment. "Thanks! Your pirate costume is awesome. Like the corset and the hat, a masterpiece."
"Thank you! We're still having the sleepover at your place right?" She asks.
"Yes, of course! I bought so many horror movies, we are not sleeping tonight." I say chuckling. The bell rings, we take our things and go to class. First period is math. I would like this subject if it weren't for the teacher. Mrs. Cartel. Reyna and I call her 'the witch'. We enter the classroom and we see our teacher disguised as a witch. I'm holding back my laughter as best I can and fortunately, I succeed. The class goes quite quickly and it's now second period, science. We're doing a pop quiz. On freaking Halloween. Then, lunch time. Finally! It's the contest! I eat my dinner at breakneck speed and then head for the stage where we have to go. I get in my place and they give me my number. I'm number 34. That means I'm second to last. I wonder who's after me, but not for long because little Miss Perfect Crystal goes behind me with her group.
"Look girls, the assassin's daughter thinks she's going to win with that shit she's wearing." She says laughing.
I roll my eyes at her. "Sure, because you have a better chance of winning with your bitch costume? Oh no, sorry, that's just you being you."
She scoffs her and goes to say something back but it's my turn to go show my costume. I go on the stage and pose how and where they told me to. Once I've finished, I go backstage. Then everyone has to go back on stage to reveal the winner. I get nervous. My hands become sweaty. My breathing is heavier than before.
"The winner is... number 34, Lydia Barnes!" The principal announces. The crowd goes wild and cheers me. I receive my trophy and an Amazon gift card. I thank them and go straight to Reyna. She hugs me immediately, congratulating me.
(Time skip because I'm too lazy)
Reyna and I are waiting for Steve to arrive. When I finally see his car we head to it and get in. "Hey kids. You had fun today?" He asks us.
"Yeah, for once it was great." I say smiling.
"It was amazing, Mr. Rogers. Also, Lydia won the costume contest!" She says happily. We continue our conversation until we get to the compound.
"Alright, you girls can go do whatever you want apart from going to Tony's old lab until dinner. Afterwards, the cinema room will be ready for you." Steve tells us.
"Awesome! Thanks Uncle Stevie." I say hugging him. "Would you like a tour?"
"Oh my god, yes!" She exclaims. We start with the first floor then all of the above. After that we went to the basements and obviously went to Tony's old lab despite Cap's interdiction. Finally, we went to my room to change from our costumes into our pajamas. We talked a bit about school and what movies we could watch first.
"Mr. Rogers wanted me to inform you that dinner is ready, Ms. Barnes." I hear Jarvis' voice say.
"Thanks Jarvis." I say before going downstairs and we smell the wonderful aroma of pizza. I walk in the kitchen and I see Nat getting out a pizza from the oven then Steve comes, hugging her from behind and kissing her on the cheek. I clear my throat to announce our presence and they move away as if nothing had happened. I turn my head to Reyna and smirk. She smiles back at me, trying hard not to laugh.
"Girls, you can go eat in the cinema room. Your pizza is already there with candies and something to drink. If you need anything else just tell us." Natasha says.
"Okay, thanks mama." I reply and we take the elevator to our destination for the night. We put the first movie on. We start slowly with Coraline and Corpse Bride. Then Chucky and the ring. We take a small break to go to the bathroom. We refill our large glasses of juice and return to our seats to watch It, followed by Annabelle 1 to 3. When we finished all the films we had, it's 1am and I know that everyone in the compound is asleep. The only person that could possibly be awake is Steve if he decided to go train. He really loses track of time in these cases. We sneak to my bedroom without waking anyone up. We stay up till 3am telling each other ghost stories and scaring one another. We then go to sleep after having one of the best days I had in a very long time.

Hey, guys! I just realized that I've never really described what Reyna looks like. So I'll do a small description.
She is a cute little girl with curly hair. She is mixed and has dark brown eyes, but they turn golden in the light of day.

Here's a photo of how I imagine her to be, for the more visual of you.
I also wanted to thank you all for the views, we're already at 1,7k. It's crazy, I never thought there would be so much people reading my story. Thank you so much. I love you all!
