"Drink Amber?" Steve asked, standing in front of me at the bar table. "What about a Cosmo or a tonic?" he asked, throwing something in a drink.

I smiled, but before I could answer, Bucky walked up and stood next to me, "Hello guys," he smiled, looking at me. "Can I buy you a drink Doll?" he asked, looking at me.

I smiled, before looking at Steve again. "The strongest drink you can make please," I asked, making Steve chuckle.

"Well, sure thing princess. Why strong alcohol tonight?" Steve asked, pulling a wine glass out from under the table.

"I don't really want to remember anything tonight," I mumbled, seeing him pour me a Cosmo, with no lemon.

After he poured my drink, I sat down next to Natasha on a couch, with my glass in my hand.

"Truth or dare, Amber?" Samuel asked, pointing at me.

I laughed, looking at the two options. "Truth," I said, narrowing my eyes with a smile.

"Opinion on love, go!" Clint said, pointing at me with an arrow.

I laughed again, looking at him. "I don't believe in love. Maybe I did in the past, but that was stupid, silly, useless." I said, with a small fake chuckle following.

"So, you've never been in love, ever?" Tony asked, swishing his drink around in his hand. I smiled, looking down at my drink.

"What about that guy," Natasha said, making me look up. "You know, that one you met months ago- urgh! I don't know his name," she said, making me laugh.

"Oh my god, Nat. that was months ago!" I said, making everyone laugh. "That didn't work out anyway," I said, making her lose her laugh.

Bucky looked at me, still feeling slight regret. "So, you never loved him?" he asked me, grabbing my attention.

I kept my smile, adding a light chuckle. "Everyone's definition of 'love' differs."

"Okay- Steve! Truth or dare?" Thor said, moving attention away from me, even though Bucky's eyes stayed on me for a little while longer.

"Truth," Steve said, sitting back.

Samuel smiled, looking at him. "Have you ever kissed another Avenger?" he asked, making Tony smile.

"Yes," Steve said, looking over at me and Natasha.

"Who?" Thor asked, a bit curious.

Steve smile, moving his eyes to me specifically. "Natasha," he said, making me smirk. Everyone laughed, knowing they kissed during their hunt for Bucky, but they did not expect his next name. "And Amber," he said, making them silent. Most of them looked at me, severely surprised by his answer. I smirked and sat back, taking a sip of my Cosmo.

"You kissed Amber?" Bruce asked from the corner of the room, kind of shy.

Steve laughed, sitting back. "Buck, truth or dare?"

"Dare," Bucky said, finally dropping his eyes on Steve.

"I dare you-" Wanda said, thinking of a good dare. "To kiss the hottest person in the room," she said, making Clint, Samuel, and Thor laugh.

Bucky immediately looked at me, making me feel a bit honored, but surprised. He stood up from his chair and walked over, standing in front of me. Everyone stared surprised, but not a lot. The room went silent as Bucky bent down to me with a smile. He crashed his lips into mine without warning, making me feel the lips I've despised these past few weeks. He stood there for a few seconds, before I pulled away myself.

"Dares," Steve laughed, looking as Bucky stood back up straight and walked back to his seat. "He's not quite wrong though," Steve said with a chuckle. As I kept my eyes on the two, I suddenly noticed Steve's eyes move from finding it funny, to being straight forward jealous.

"Next, Vision," I said, looking up at the red robot.

"Oh- I don't find these types of games quite fun. I would rather watch than participate," he said in his boring- Jarvis voice.

Wanda let out a laugh, before looking at me. "I'll take his turn," she said, making me smile.

"Truth or dare?" I asked her, making her think.

"Truth," she said, looking back at Clint.

Tony took a step forward, before sitting down on a chair. "What was it like- when you first found your magical red powers?" he asked, making her sigh.

"Tony!" I yelled, making him look at me. "That's not nice!" I said, frowning.

"It's okay," Wanda said, asking me look at her. "It was, hard. But I survived," she said, making the room silent.

"Who's next?" Wanda asked, making everyone look around again.

"Amber, again. I wanna ask something," Steve said, looking at me.

I laughed, taking a sip of my drink. "Dare," I said, looking at his amused face.

"Perfect," he said, making me notice his trap. "I dare you to sing us a song," he said, making me glare at him. "Fine, just a piece of a song," he said, making me chuckle. I looked away from him, taking another sip from my drink. "Come on! It's a dare, you have to do it," he said, making the others look at me interested.

I sighed, putting my Cosmo down "Fine, but just know, that if you died in your sleep tonight, it wasn't me," I said, making him look amused. I looked at Pepper smiling, "In the name of love by Bebe Rexha."

I sat up when Pepper sat down at the piano. She suddenly started playing a nice beat on the piano, making me smile. Everyone turned to make sure their eyes were on me, curious of my voice.

¯If I told you, this was only ganna hurt~ If I warned you that the fires ganna burn~ Would you walk in? ~ Would you let me do it first? ~ Do it all in the name of love~ Would you let me lead you even when you're blind? ~ In the darkness, in the middle of the night~ In the silence when there's no one by your side~ Would you call in the name of love? ~ In the name of love~ Name of love~ In the name of love~ Name of love~ In the name of...¯

I stopped as Pepper stopped playing, also surprised by my voice.

"Wow!" Natasha said next to me, her voice amazed.

I gave an awkward smile before picking up my drink. "Who's next?" I asked, sitting back against the chair.

"Wait- no. You can't just blow past that miss Monroe," Samuel said, waving his hand at me. "You literally just sang, in an amazing voice- that no one has heard before," he said, looking around us. I looked at Steve, who looked up at Samuel with a smile. "No!" Samuel sighed, his voice forceful and tired of Steve's bullshit. "Really? Steve heard your voice before, but not anyone else?" he asked me, looking exhausted. I laughed, before looking at Bucky. Samuel looked at Bucky, who sat back with a grin. He looked at me and sighed. "You know, I thought we had a friendship?" he asked jokingly, making me laugh.

"Come on Samuel! It's not a big deal," I said, seeing him sit down.

He looked at me, looking disgusted. "Don't even talk to me! Don't even dare!" he said, making everyone laugh.

"Fine I won't. Tony, t or d?" I asked looking at him.

"Uh-yeah? Truth," he said, snapping back.

"How rich are you, really?" I asked, looking at him suspiciously.

He laughed, looking at Pepper, then back at me. "I'm a billionaire Amber. How rich did you think I was?" he asked rhetorically, making me laugh. "I can clone you, and still be a billionaire" he joked, making everyone laugh.

I lifted my shoulders, knowing he had a point. "Okay, as much as I'd like to keep this already four-hour party going, I'm heading to bed," I said, standing up.

"You still okay with the guest bedroom?" Tony asked, picking up his glass.

My eyes softly and slowly drifted to Bucky, who looked up at me, digging into my soul. "Yeah, it's perfect. I'm ganna lock my door, and I'm a deep sleeper. So, don't be surprised if you can't wake me up," I said, walking off to the stairs. "Goodnight everyone!" I yelled before disappearing down the hall at the top of the stairs.
