Metal Arm, Meet Metal Leg

Chapter 8

"You look good." I commented as I finished putting on my thigh holsters. I dropped my skirt and smoothed it out. It was a red maxi skirt and I had a large powder blue blouse tucked in. My wasit holster was below my clothes, but it was easily seeable. I grabbed a white blazer and that finished hiding everything. 

"I could say the same for you, Pia." he smirked. He wore a pair of black jeans and a red sweater with his bulky jacket  over it. I slipped two hats from the back porch as we rushed by. I tossed him the brown European hat and wore mine. He slipped it on, sending me a wink the process of running from shouting Spaniards. 

We began walking once we were out of harms way. We were laughing at the situation. I grabbed my hat in my hands and looked to Bucky.

"You're going to have to do my hair again." I told him with a smile playing on my lips. 

"And why is that?" he asked, returning the smile. 

"This hairstyle is perfect for combat, but it doesn't look good with a hat." I laughed slightly. 

"When we get on the train, I will make your hair look good in a hat." he laughed. "How did I ever get roped into braiding hair?" he ran his hand over his mouth as he laughed lightly.

"I can do it, but I would prefer it if you did it." I smirked. He rolled his eyes in a playful manner but nodded.

"We need showers." I said as I felt my greasy hair. "When we arrive in Pairs, I will brain wash a bunch of people to get ourselves a motel for the night." I nodded approving of my plan. 

"Okay, but only if I get to shower first." he agreed.

"Agreed." I said shaking his hand. We laughed at our antics and continued on. We had 9 more hours, but I knew we both had an accelerated pace, so we continued on. The rest of the walking was silent. A few comments and a few jokes were made, but nothing more and nothing less.

We arrived to a sign that said we were entering Lugo. I grinned. One day away from Paris. I grabbed Bucky's hand and rushed him forward, running through the bustling cities, eager to get to the train. I slipped through the crowd with Bucky on my tail. We found our way to the train station. 

I looked around, it had high security and metal detectors. A sure fire way to be tracked and found by my father. 

"Pia, this isn't a good idea." he said as he looked around. I pulled my hat low. 

"This is happening whether it kills me or not." I gritted my teeth and I felt my power reach out of me. 

"Don't say that." he scolded. 

"Hold on to me." I commanded as my powers stretched toward everyone in the train station. The cameras would be taken care of when I get on the train. Bucky grabbed my shoulder with one hand. I felt my powers creep into every portion of the station. Time slowed down to almost nonmoving.

"Whoa." Bucky breathed. I smiled at him, pride forming in me from his approval. 

"Come on, let's get on that train." I smiled. We walked to the metal detectors, walking on the outside of them so nothing would trigger. We entered the train and found an empty cabin. I would insure it would stay empty.

"Let me just adjust the cameras and everything will be set." I said, flipping up my wristband. I cut the part where you could see the blur of us moving and then time continued as normal when I ceased my powers. 

"You're learning to control your powers really well." he said when I put my wristband down. I looked to him, my head cocked. 

"Thank you." I said genuinely. "You know Buck, I don't think your trip would be as enjoyable as it is if I wasn't here. Aren't you glad you brought me?" I smiled toward him as he rolled his eyes at me.
