Monster

Chapter Eighteen

"So what are we going to do while you are here?" Clint pushed my legs off the couch while we were watching The Walking Dead.

"You are living here, right? If you don't want to, we can get you another apartment." Nat said and sat on the chair across the room.

I sighed and paused the TV, I really hate missing the Daryl and Carol Scenes. "I was planning on staying a little bit, but when I start working for SHIELD, I will get an apartment." I nodded at Bruce who also decided to join us.

Nat seemed to be relieved, "you opted to join us?" All eyes turned towards me, and I gently shrugged.

"Why not? It would be good to stay around here for a while. I was gone from the States for way too long." I grinned at them before re-playing the TV. Bruce and Tony shared a look before racing out of the room.

I curiously raised my eyebrow at Clint, "Did they go gay after I left?" Clint and Nat busted out laughing. Vision and Wanda slugged around the corner. "Mr. Banner and Stark are for sure not together, but their relationship gave birth to me." Vision answered once he got Wanda settled on the couch next to Clint.

I think I died a little bit. I was heaving over the edge from laughter. "THEY GAVE BIRTH TO YOU?!?" I kept laughing until Clint and Nat were also cackling. Steve and Bucky both emerged with confused looks on their faces.

"What's going on?" Steve looked between the laughing mess to Wanda and Vision. "Vision did not do the best at explaining his existence to Sage. It sounded like Bruce and Tony had him as a baby." Wanda cleared it up to the two soldiers before slightly giggling.

We finally calmed down enough to be talking civilly, and Clint told me all about the issue with Ultron and that entire matter. "That makes sense on why Vision talks like Jarvis." I grinned down at Nat who leaned against my legs.

"Sage, could we talk to you?" Steve broke the silence and motioned between him and Bucky. Confusion crossed my eyes before I followed the duo out of the room. "What's going on boys?" I asked when Steve led me down to a closed door.

"I am so sorry for everything that happened last time you were here. I completely understand why you were upset with everything. There is so things you two need to talk about." He opened the door and pushed us in before locking us in.

"STEVE!" I turned and banged on the door. I grumbled and turned to look at Bucky. He had a relieved look on his face. "Are you okay with this?" I groaned and sat next to him on the bed.

He shrugged before slightly leaning on my side, "I am sorry for how I treated you on the way back." He whispered after a couple of minutes. I glanced up at him before turning over to wrap my arms around him.

"It's okay. You were right. I did run away, but it was for the best." I nuzzled his neck as he brought his arms around me. The coldness of his metal arm brought a sort of weird comfort to me.

The hug lasted for a solid ten minutes, "What else did you want to talk about, darling?" For some reason, I felt the need to help comfort him for an unknown reason. I guess because he is acting as a person in dire need of help.

"I missed you. I know it seems strange to you because we only knew each other for a short time, but it was something else." He quietly muttered before turning away from me.
