12 | takeout

She got into her room and changed into some of the new clothes she'd bought today: fuzzy leopard print pyjama pants, and a black tank top.

Just as she was getting into bed for her nightly ritual
(Rick and Morty, Diet Coke, cherry ice, and her hello kitty blanket) she realised that she was starving.

Not surprising, considering she hadn't eaten anything all day.

And with no food in sight, she made her way down to the avengers' communal floor.

It had probably enough food to feed the entire homeless population on NewYork, so surely they wouldn't mind her picking up a couple snacks.

Though when she stepped out of the elevator, she hadn't expected to see six of the avengers, awake at 12:30am.

Bucky, Natasha, Wanda, Pietro, Sam and Peter were all doing various things in the huge living room.

Pietro was playing table tennis/ping pong by himself, Wanda was painting her nails whilst watching satc, Natasha stood behind the couch with a mug, pretending not to be interested even though her eyes were glued to the tv.

And Peter was sticking magnets onto Bucky's metal arm while he played uno with Sam.

They all paused and turned around the second they heard the elevator ding.

Madeline stood there awkwardly and all seven of them were pretty much frozen for a moment.

Bucky was the first to say something.

"Hey doll, everything okay?" He asked, standing up and making his way over to her.

Soon enough yelling was heard through the tv and Wanda, Natasha, Peter and Sam snapped their heads towards the sound, all suddenly very invested in the show.

"Yeah, I'm just, I was," she stuttered.

"Hm?"

"Hungry." She finally said, smiling up at him.

"For the first time ever, we're all out of food."

"Really?"

"Yeah, mission earlier just knocked everyone out."

"Yeah, Thor and speedy ate everything!" Sam called, his eyes still fixed on the tv.

"Did you at least eat enough?" She asked.

"Yeah, you don't need to worry about me."

"He's lying! He complained about being hungry a second before you walked in!" Sam interrupted again, earning a chuckle from both Madeline and Bucky.

"Well, I still have my dad's card.. and a little takeout order wouldn't hurt his bank account."

Before Bucky could reply Pietro and Sam had somehow immediately appeared at her sides.

"Takeout?" They asked in unison.

She laughed and pushed past them, walking over to lean on the couch where the other three were.

"You guys hungry?"

Natasha glanced at Wanda. "I could eat."

"So could I."

"Okay then." Maddy smiled, and paused.

She debated whether to hold a grudge against this spider kid forever.. or to just say fuck it and be nice. It's not like she cares about her father's opinion anyway.

"And you?"

"Me?" Peter asked, he was so nervous his voice was practically a squeak.

"Yeah, you hungry?"

"Uhm, well, I mean, I guess-"

"I'm buying you food."

"You don't have to-"

"I know." She said, and switched from her slightly angry expression to a small smile.
