Into The Night

Twenty-Seven

"You look absolutely ridiculous." I muttered to Niall and lied on my bed. At least I was looking every bit decent -apart from the bumbling paint all over me and the bloody make-up but I'm enjoying every bit of it.

"You look ridiculous, you should sue." I added, taking a movie dialog from Princess Diaries one.

I've convinced Niall to come, and I've convinced him to wear something Marvel. The minute he agreed, I had suggested Captain America for him. Gladly, he agreed. And now, he freaking looks ridiculous. In other terms, handsome but never in a million years would I tell him that out loud.

It's already Halloween night, and I've been waiting for this the whole week. I am very much looking forward to seeing the squad's costume. Of course, I knew some but not exactly everybody's costume. I've got hints that Taylor really did chose a Marvel costume and thank goodness there will be four of us in Marvel suits.

"Get off your bloody bed, the paint would be wiped off." He said.

"This is non-toxic spray paint. It won't." I replied with a smile and put my hands on the back of my head. "Don't avert the subject, you and I both know that you look pathetic."

"At least I'm not the one who used spray paint all over me." He shot.

I should be the one doing the shooting. He's Captain America, I like him better with combat rather than the shooting.

"Alright, Captain America, since when did you have an Irish accent?" I teased. He's not really good with his teasing game because quite honestly, he has the upper hand.

He looks awesome! Him having natural -oh wait, no, unnatural, it's coloured- blond hair and blue eyes, he makes a fine Captain America. If he could just bulk up a bit, grow a bit taller and lose the accent, he'd be fine. In fact, he's using one of the coolest Captain America suits ever. That is, in my opinion and it was the dark one in the movie, Captain America and the Winter Soldier.

"Shut the bloody hell up, Bucky." He muttered, glaring at me. What happened? Barnes and Rogers are supposed to be best friends. Of course, not when Bucky gets brainwashed but, that's not the point!

I laughed, not because I found him funny, it's actually because he could have thrown anything, the spray paint, the make up, the whole get-up and he decided to go with James Barnes' name. How insulting.

Although with the many complaints I've got, I love my get-up. I'm absolutely astounded I've managed to pull this one off in a limited amount of time but, I'm not 1:49 AM for nothing.

The make-up that gave me dark shadows around the eyes -I was imitating the Winter Soldier!- and it's washable, I've tested it so I can remove it later on. I did not have time for a wig so I borrowed a hair straightener from a girl next doors and used it to make the lengths longer. Technically, my hair is way beyond the limit yet, no one noticed because mine is curly. The next hard thing was my hair colour so I used a spray thingy for the hair. . . washable, the kind of stuff they use in dance competitions.

The whole outfit was a different deal since I had to have a thick, turtle-neck, jacket with too much pockets with only one arm available. It took me two attempts as the first time around, I cut the wrong arm, right instead of left so I had to do it again. After I was done with the jacket with one arm, I used one of my black pants that also had too much pockets and lastly was my boots. My face mask was the easiest to get as I already had them -usually when I try to hide and stuff and I'm glad I brought them here.

The costly thing was the spray paints and the effort just to get my left arm looking like the actual Winter Soldier's arm. It should be easy but with you doing it all by yourself, not too much. The last thing was the fake gun and it wasn't hard to buy a toy.
