I was in the gym, training with Steve and Pietro, this morning, doing basic kicks and punches...
"so when do you guys go back" I ask, taking a swing at Pietro's chest
"Um when we get the signal from fury" Steve replies, grunting between the words as he knocks me down onto the ground, defending Pietro. I lay propped up on my elbows staring at the two red faced men as they smirked down at me. Steve put his hand out to me to help me up, "thanks" I say, him pulling me up easily
"You're welcome ma'am" The blue eyed, blonde haired, soldier says. I drop his hand and push the ginger whispy hair out of my face, still keeping my eyes locked on his
"I may be younger but I'm still her brother" the silver haired teen interferes chuckling slightly as I roll my eyes.
"Helping a young lady out now days is flirting, I'll have to note that down" Rogers shakes his head throwing a punch at Pietro, starting our training back up.
"You should've seen how he used to be with Wanda" I chime in, attempting to hook my arm around Steve and knock him down from behind, he latches onto my body and swings me up to his shoulders so he has the control "guess I should've gone for the legs" I tease breathlessly, trying to escape from his grasp whilst Pietro didn't help at all and sat at the side watching.
"I see you spoke to Stark this morning" Steve said effortlessly "what made him say that" he adds as I manage to slip my leg out and swing around to the front of his neck
"Cap your shield is the size of a dinner plate" I joke, I see a flash of blue then feel us descending to the floor. I land sideways on top of Steve letting out an 'ow', I roll myself over so I'm on the mat "another note... don't fight at least two of the Maximoff's at the same time" Steve sighed breathless,
"You didn't see that coming?" Pietro smirked, standing over us
"You can't say that every time you surprise people" I mock him
- after training -
The three of us walked into the kitchen with Bucky who had tagged along after we saw him in the living room alone. Wanda was there cutting peppers and different foods, putting them into a pan. The brunette looks up once she heard our footsteps "good session?" she asked, her accent still there a bit.
"We beat him pretty good. what would you say Rogers?" I say referencing me and Pietro's team work against Steve as I walk over to Wanda.
"Protective?" She whispered in my ear softly
"Very" I whisper back to my younger sister, I heard the door open from the other side of the room with Clint's head popped around it "hey ad how do you turn up the thermostat for the cinema room, we're about to watch a film?" He asks, 'ad' had been the nickname they had given me last night.
"Um press the plus button with the on button to turn it up then the rest is self explanatory. mind if we join?" I explain, motioning my hands to the other five
"Thanks ad, feel free too" he says leaving the door open for us, I begin walking over there with the others trailing behind me. We entered the dark cinema room to some of the team sitting on bean bags and some on the sofas "what movie shall be watching?" Tony says in a posh tone as I take a seat next to Bruce and Nat
"Calm down Shakespeare and Coraline" Bucky jokes, I had never seen the film before.
"Let the earths mightiest heroes have a sleepover they said, it'll be fun they said" I sarcastically said
"Hey! we are not that bad" Stark defends himself whilst I'm already shaking my head at his comment.
- 30 minutes later -
The film had been on for a while and it wasn't that interesting to me but I was never one to watch films, I could never concentrate enough. I was feeling tired and wanted to go up to bed so I didn't fall asleep down here, god knows what they would do. I looked over to Steve and see him already gazing at me with a sad expression on his face "you okay?" I mouth to him
"Of course, are you ma'am?" he mouths back, caught of guard. I asked him to stop calling me ma'am last night because it made me feel old but he still did it...although the pet name is slowly growing on me.
"Of course" I reply, smiling softly at him "I think I'm going to go to bed, I've got stuff to get done in the lab tomorrow" I announce standing up, walking over to the wooden door and pulling my sleeves over my hands. A chorus of 'good nights' echoed back to me, making me giggle slightly.
- later that night -
I laid there wrapped in my covers in the night's silence, my mind was a storm of heavy thoughts that where a blur. I needed to walk this off like I normally do but it was at least three in the morning, if not, later. I stepped down onto the cold hard-wood floor of my bedroom and slid off the bed despite my hesitation. I grabbed my door handle and started to take steps out to the corridor, it was dark and I could barely make out the dark shapes of tables or wall corners. I neared the end of the corridor, when I felt a warm presence abruptly press against my body. I looked up and saw the moonlight shining on Steve's face.
"Rogers?" I ask confused
"Maximoff?" He asks back, mimicking my speech "What are you doing up?" Steve questions as I stepped away from him
"I had trouble sleeping so I took myself for a walk, why aren't you getting your beauty sleep?" I replied with a slight smile, teasing him.
"I was thinking" he responds, rolling his eyes playing along
"About what?" I ask, adjusting my loose jumper
"I'm not sure" Steve says, honestly
"What was up earlier?" I ask another question, breaking the moments silence
"You reminded me of someone" the former S.H.I.E.L.D fugitive states, surprising me
"Who?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows intrigued as to who this lucky woman could be
"There was this lady I used to know, that's who" a raspy-voiced Steve replies, tucking his hands in his pockets and smiling down at me
"I'll take that as a compliment Rogers"
