45 | quitting (kind of)

The next morning, Maddy couldn't remember much of what happened last night, and it started to become clear to her that her drinking was turning into a bit of a problem.

The main reason she realised this was because of a conversation she had with Sam soon after she woke up.

"So, what happened with you and Bucky last night? You guys were both acting weird when I came in."

"What? I didnt see Bucky last night?"

"Yeah, you did, you watched a whole movie with him."

"Oh... I don't remember, I'll talk to him later."

It was at this moment that she did remember having countless conversations like this with her father when she was younger.

"Oh, god, I'm turning into Tony." She mumbled.

"No, no, you're not turning into him." Sam argued.

"I've managed to get high or drunk almost every night for the past month. I don't remember half of it, and everything else I can remember is overshadowed by horrific hangovers." She sighed, storming out of the room.

She went to find Pepper, to ask what exactly it was that made Tony stop drinking so much.

"Well, when me and him got together, I told him to tone it down or I'd leave.. why? Is that about-"

"Ok, thanks, bye!"

She dashed out of there and decided she needed someone to keep her away from the substances. Someone who could threaten leaving, that she would actually miss.

Peter volunteered at first, but considering he wasn't around her constantly, it was pretty easy to just drink without him finding out.

Tony was next, but they ended up drinking together, and listening to AC/DC in the lab for hour, while shooting random gadgets and guns at expensive decor.

Steve tried, but something about going against his wishes was just really really funny to Madeline, so that didn't work out either.

Bruce wasn't too successful either; Maddy locked down her floor and wouldn't let him in until the bottle was empty.

Wanda wanted to try mind control, as did Loki, but Tony wouldn't allow it.

Thor suggested eating pop tarts every time Madeline wanted to drink, which lasted almost a week, until she realised she'd gained 5 pounds and drank to make herself feel better.

It went on with a couple more avengers. Natasha was the only one who could almost make it work, but the second she was on the jet for a mission, Maddy was wasted.

Then, Peter suggested Sam and Bucky. It was a solid plan. They both lived on her floor, so would be around her most of the time, and prevent any alcohol or dugs from even being bought onto their floor.

This plan also meant that Maddy would be spending a lot more time with the two, especially with Bucky making time to hang out with her/prevent her from getting drunk.
