Alianovna pov
We finally made it to New York after the most boring flight of my life. We had just gotten to our two bedroom apartment around ten minutes ago, and after doing a quick sweep around the apartment to make sure there wasn't anything that isn't meant to be here (traps, random people waiting to jump out at us, those type of things) but we quickly realised that it was all clear. Now we are both in our separate rooms packing our stuff away since we will be here for a while.
I usually live out of my suitcase when I have a mission to go to but that's because they are usually only a week or two long. This one is going to take a month or so, mabye even a few months. I do still decide on keeping all my important things in a backpack though, just in case something happens and we need to get out quick.
It doesn't take very long but by the time I'm done, I'm jetlagged as fuck. I'm hungry too to be honest, but I'm not sure which one I want to do. Eat? Or sleep? Both sound good. I doubt we have food here so I think I'll settle for sleep and just try to dream about food instead.
Just then I hear a knock on my bedroom door.
"Yes?" I call out.
"Can I come in?" He asks
"Sure" I reply
The door slowly creeps open and an uncomfortable looking James Barnes stands awkwardly in the doorway.
"I was going to go get something to eat and was wondering what you wanted?" He then asked.
"Oh, um, I don't really know...what are the options?" I ask
"Well personally I was trying to decide between pizza or subway... subway is healthier so I was kind of leaning more to that side"
"Great, I'll have subway too then...what is subway by the way?" I asked as I realised I had never actually tried it. I've had pizza once but it was so fatty I don't want to get used to eating that.
"Basically just fancy sandwiches" he shrugs
"Perfect, I'll have that then. Are you going out to get it?"
"Yes, why?"
"Can I come?"
"Uh, well-"
"Come on, look at it as a trial basis, it'll be good practice, you know, the whole father daughter thing. What's better practice than going out in public as a happy father daughter duo getting supper?"
"Supper?" Is the only thing he managed to get out.
"Yes... Is that not what it's called?" I ask confused
"Well yes, but most American teens just say dinner"
"Oh, well I'm not American" I shrug
"You are for this mission"
"My file said that we moved here from Russia a few months ago... I don't see how that is classified as American?"
"Whatever, hurry up or I'm leaving you behind" he says as he walks out of her room and towards the door with me quickly following behind him.
"Alright Melody, what do you want?" He asks once we get there.
"Umm, what are you getting?" I ask, having no clue what to order as there are too many options and I've never been here before.
"I think I might just get a chicken classic"
"Okay, I'll get that too"
James orders the food and drinks along with two m&m cookies, one for him and one for me.
"Hey dad, when am I starting public school?" I decided to ask while we wait for the food, making sure to throw in the word 'dad' to see how it sounded.
To me it sounded weird but I guess I'll have to get used to it.
"The school said you can start on Monday" he awnserd simply
That means I have to wait two days as it is currently Friday... Ugh I just want to get this mission started with already. It's so boring not having anything else to do.
At least all of the other times I had to work with a partner it was Yelena, she was fun. This guy's boring. I hope I can bring her home soon, I have no clue what I would do if I couldn't return, I mean I have only ever known the red room and I'm guessing that's the same with aunt Yelena too. I mean what do people even do here? Just sit around in their apartments all day eating junk food? Boring. I mean come on guys, wheres the excitement in that?
"Come on melody, let's go" he said, snapping me out of whatever trance I was in. I pull my head out of the clouds and follow him out of the building.
As we walk down the street we turn a corner and I bump into someone.
I was about to lunge at the person out of natural instinct until James spoke.
"Melody" was all he said, reminding me that I need to stay in character. A normal girl who moved from Russia.
"Oh, I am so sorry about that" he spoke.
I look up at him, that's when I realised who he was.
"No worries, that was as much my fault as it was yours" I said, putting on a fake smile.
"Uh, I'm Peter, oh and this is ned" he awkwardly holds out his hand for me to shake as he does not know what to do. I mean if it were any normal person they'd just apologise and continue walking... apparently Peter Parker over here is too polite to keep moving and would rather awkwardly introduce himself and his friend. But that's okay, this just makes everything ten times easier for me. Oh and James.
I take his hand and shake it firmly but not too rough.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Melody and this is my dad" I say as I point to James
"Levi" he said, introducing himself as he slightly waved at the duo.
This just made everything much easier for me. I mean if he remembers me then starting school on Monday would be pretty easy. If I judged his character correctly, he seems like the type of person who would feel obligated to show me around and stuff like that once he sees me at school because of the fact that he bumped into me.
Monday, I hope your a good day.
