Chapter 28

Christmas Eve. The craziest time of the year. Or at least, at the Avengers compound. Everyone was walking around, transporting boxes with even more decorations, even though Michelle already decorated 3 weeks before that, decorating the Christmas tree, and hanging fairy lights all over the facility.

Around 6:00 PM, they heard a knock on the door.

"She's here, guys," Peter said, as Bucky quickly dropped his stuff and ran to the door. As he opened it, he was met by a shivering Michelle, who got in as soon as the door was open. Shaking herself off, she quickly hung up her jacket and ran down the small corridor, towards the living/dining area, where the team was waiting for her.

As soon as she saw Peter, she ran in his arms, earning a smile from everyone.

"They're a couple aren't they," Harley and Tony were standing in the corner of the room, observing the situation.

"Hell yeah. If this ship ever sinks, I'm going down with it." Tony smirked at his own comment.

"I'm happy you're back," Peter said, not letting go of the still shivering Michelle. "You have no idea."

Everyone was walking around, talking, laughing, drinking, and eating. Michelle was just walking around, as she heard someone call her over. As she looked around to see where it came from, she saw Harley and Peter, gesturing her to come sit with them.

"Hey guys," Michelle sat down on the bar stool, looking at the two boys. "What's up?"

"We're good," Peter said, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "Oh goodness, you're cold."

"I'm fine, don't worry." Michelle turned to face Harley, still shivering a bit.

"No, I'll get you a sweater, be right back." Peter was about to leave when Michelle grabbed him by his fist.

"I don't have a sweater in my bags, you know?" she said, smiling at Peter's confused face.

"I'll get you one of mine. Now as I said, be right back."

Michelle let go of Peter, turning back to Harley.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Harley," he held out his hand, Michelle shaking it, before he moved on. "You're Michelle right?"

"Yeah, and I suppose you already met-" Michelle was about to mention Peter, as she got interrupted.

"Your boyfriend? Yeah, I met him already." Harley plastered a smirk on his face, as he took a sip of his coke.

"Sorry, my what? " Michelle raised an eyebrow, making Harley laugh.

"So you're not a couple?" He continued, taking another sip of his coke. "Sorry, my bad."

Still confused, Michelle felt a hand land on her shoulder, making her jump up from her seat, ready to attack. She eased, however, when she saw Peter, holding the black sweater he got for her.

"Sorry, I thought you were going to attack me," Michelle took the sweater out of a now confused Peter's hands, and pulled it over her own shirt. She looked back at Peter, and they stared at each other for a while, drowning in each other's eyes. She heard someone mumble, just loud enough for her to hear; "Not a couple, huh?"

Clint came in not that long after, and the room fell silent for a while, before everyone got up to greet their teammate. First, of course, was Natasha. She gave him a warm smile and surprised him with a hug.

"Good to see you, Clint." She said after she pulled away.

"Yeah, well it wouldn't be a great party without me, would it." He replied with a wink. After a couple more hugs and claps on the back and 'how's the family's', he saw something that made him freeze.
