It's not what it seems

12

It was a quiet day at the compound, July and August had passed in a haze and the summer was coming to its end. The wheater got colder and rainier. The wind became stronger and the leaves started to fall from the trees. Fall was coming.

"Good morning!" Tony said entering the cafeteria. "Good morning? It's raining," I told him. "I know," he said with a smile. "Why are you so happy about that?" "I don't know, I just am." "What a great explanation sir." "Oh shut up Jarvis." "If you wish so sir." "It's a very good morning for sure," Steve said walking in. "Why is it such a good morning?" "Because you're back." I rolled my eyes. "Hey, let me like that." I raised my hands, "Sure, it's nothing special, but sure." "It's special to me," he sat down next to me, "because you're special to me," he whispered." "Can you please not do that here?" Tony asked. "Do what here?" "Being close and cute together, it's a little uncomfortable." Wanda, who was sitting on my other side, disagreed with him, "You're just jealous." "No, it makes me uncomfortable." So, of course, to tease Tony, Steve gave me a passionate kiss. "I missed that," I said, and he kissed me again, "I missed that a lot."

The rest of the day we spent training, kinda boring actually. But hey, we had to stay in top-condition, because maybe Hydra would attack somewhere. Or maybe the KGB, you never know. So training it was. At least I trained with Wanda again, there was some fun in avoiding the flying objects she threw at me, and training my speed and agility might come in handy some time.

After the training I went to Steve's room. I opened the door without knocking, just as he was taking off his shirt. He turned around, "Uh hey." "Hey." He tried to look angry, "You know there's s thing called privacy right?" "You know I really don't mind seeing you like this right?" I said with a wink. He smiled, "Yeah, I know." "Would you mind if I stay here tonight?" "I'd like that actually." "Oh would you?" "Yeah, I would." We tried to sleep that night, honestly, we did, but it was kinda hard after not seeing each other for about a month, so it didn't really come to sleeping.

The next morning Tony woke us by knocking on the door and entering right after because he didn't get an answer. "Good morning," he said with a bright smile, not bothered by the clothes everywhere in the room. "It was good until you ruined it," I told him. "You're welcome." I threw a pillow at his head. "That's not very nice." "Just like waking us up." "Ssshh, Grumpy," Steve said, "just ignore him." "I'm not grumpy." "You sound grumpy." I huffed. "But you're cute when you're grumpy so I do kinda like it." "I'm NOT cute!" "I have a different opinion on that." "Shove that opinion up your ass." Tony laughed, "I can see that love." "She's not a morning person." "Kinda put that together." "Well, then why are you still standing there instead of getting your stupid ass out of this room?" "What's it whit you and the word ass this morning?" "Well, it's twice in the word assassin, so there you go." "That makes no sense." "Just about as much sense as you being in this room." "Are you uncomfortable with me being here because you're naked?" "No." "You're just annoyed?" "GET OUT!" He walked out laughing. Steve was laughing too. "Oh you think that's funny huh?" "I do yes." I rolled over, right on top of him and sat up, "Still think it's funny?" "Oh, you just made it better," now he rolled over and I was laying underneath him. Let's just say we continued whatever we were doing last night.

After that we got ourselves some lunch, yeah lunch. Tony sat on the other side of the table, sending us amused looks. I glared at him and he sniggered. "Well somebody has some fun." "Not as much fun as you last night, huh?" "No indeed," I said with a sweet smile. "Oh, someone is changing her tactic." "You bet I am." "Very smart, very smart." "Tony, eat your lunch." "He took a bite of an apple, "If thifh good enough?" "Please don't talk while you're eating." "Forry."

After lunch I decided to look for Wanda, who I found playing video games with Tony's new intern, Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man, on her room. "Hey Wanda, hey Spidey." Peter looked up, he looked a little surprised, "Did you just call me Spidey?" "Yeah, as in, I'm too lazy to say Spider-Man, so I'm just calling you Spidey." "Who told you?" "Well, the camera's in this building did." "You hacked the security camera's?" "No, I have access to them." "Mr. Stark is not going to like this." "Mr. Stark would not be surprised at all. The thing he's not going to like is that you told a little kid your name." "Oh... he... uh... he was ill... and... he was so sad and he told me his name was Peter and I said it was my name too and... I never thought he'd tell anybody, I swear!" "Calm down, as far as I know, he only told me and Steve... maybe his parents, also, big chance nobody would believe him anyway." "Well, it was a good kid." "Yeah it was." Peter looked at Wanda, "Uh... well, I guess I got something to explain now?" "Nah, I recognized your voice." "WHAT? And you didn't tell me? You didn't ask anything." "Seriously, why would I bother if I can read your mind, during the whole fight in Germany you were just going like, "Stay cool Peter, stay cool," or "I can't believe that I, Peter Parker, am fighting with the Avengers," so you shouldn't be surprised." Peter stared at her looking very embarrassed. Wanda smiled, "You didn't think of that huh?" "No, I did not." "Anyway, what game are you guys playing?" "Mario Kart," Peter said. "We have one more controller if you'd like to join," Wanda said. "Well, that should be fun."
