Sam takes a seat in the living area of the common room and turns on the TV to take a look at the news for anything that could be mildly interesting or might alert them of some trouble. Bucky comes up behind him and sits on the back of the couch with his arms crossed.

Then something important catches their eyes.

"Woah, woah, waoh!" Sam sits forward with furrowed brows as Bucky slowly smiles. "Peter and Satine are famous!"

"What?" She asks as half of them and those two decide to take a look.

"Slow news day." Bucky sighs and she nudges his shoulder, making his smile.

"I'm Mr. Stark's personal assistant."

"I'm the wife."

"Yes, the wife of Tony Stark's personal assistant, Peter Parker, is now being deemed as a 'Gold Digger.'" The news anchor lady nods in the go-to 'news anchor voice.'

"What?!" She shouts as they all quickly turn to her.

"Some say that she is only with Peter for the money that he receives working up close and personal with one of the richest men in the world." She states as Satine gets a bit closer to the TV and Peter nervously puts his fist to his mouth. "Apparently, she is out of his league." She turns to the man beside her with a smirk and he chuckles as all eyes go wide and Satine takes a step back, nearly in disbelief.

"Well, look at her." He nods. "She --"

"I don't --" Satine shakes her head a bit. "I don't even -- I am not a gold digger." She points at Peter with raised brows.

"I don't have any money." He shrugs with his hands up and a smile, making a few chuckle. "I know you're not."

"And, I'm not out of your league." She turns back to the television with her arms out.

"Yeah, you are." Peter, Bucky, and Sam nod.

"You two, shut up." She points firmly and they turn away with grins while the rest smile. "And, no." She turns to Peter with a soft voice and wrinkled brows. "I'm not. You're beautiful, I'm exactly what you need." She waves her hand.

"Thank you." He nods with his eyes closed.

"The only one." She corrects herself as she turns back to the TV and he chuckles. "And, who the hell started this fucking rumor!?" She throws her arms as Anya steps up to her and raises her hands. "This is ridiculous!" She leans down to lift her onto her hips. "They don't even know me." She states before Anya wraps her arms around her neck for a tight hug while looking at Peter, who slowly smiles as Satine freezes and then gasps a bit. "Oh, she's so smart." Her eyes brighten with a big smile and he chuckles. "How'd she know to do that?"

"She's never heard you yell." He shrugs. "I guess, she didn't like it."

"Yeah, but a hug though?" She sings as she moves towards the kitchen.

"She's so bipolar." Pietro shakes his head and Wanda and Ruby Marie laugh softly, making him smile.

Later on in the evening, around seven at night, Anya has fallen asleep in the arms of her mother as everyone around begins to relax in their seats or have headed off to their rooms. Peter remains seated on the couch, leaning his elbows on his knees, while Satine stands beside him.
