Bruce Banner's adoptive daughter, Esperanza Banner, tries to love herself regardless of her mental and physical health. Bucky Barnes, the newest member of the Avengers, teaches her how to love herself.
"I don't know what's happening... how the fuck?" I breathed in and put down my bat.
I felt insecure about my body and grabbed a jacket that was nearby and put it on quickly. He frowned when he saw what I did.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure. Just.... sit on that chair." I said making him sigh and I didn't notice that he had a backpack on.
He took out what seemed like a cooking book.
"Can I see that?" I asked in curiosity sinceim always curious.
"Ye-yeah. I- I just saw Mr. Stark's last name at the top right corner so I got it to see what it was. Then I saw the name of Vision and I kinda remembered who Vision was since at that time it was 2015 and we were 6 years old." Peter stuttered making me smile a bit.
I forgot that Vision had a cooking book.

"Why are you here. How are you here?!" I put the book aside and inspected him.
He had grown attractive. He's still shy.
"Thanos. When the fight broke out, Thanos sent one of his monsters to kill me so when I got 'killed' it could make you guys weak. In reality I was in another planet and made me his.... toy. I guess someone casted an illusion of myself and made you guys believe that I was dead. Carol Danvers saved me and got me back here in New York. Until of course you guys defeated him, I found an apartment like a couple of weeks ago. No one knows I'm alive until you found out just now." He explained.
I could smell the bullshit from here.
"This is not you. Reveal yourself."
This is not true. One of the monsters killed him in front of me. I used my quick combat skills and grabbed a spear that was nearby and harshly pointed it at his neck.
Yes I had many weapons in my room.
"Reveal. Yourself. I won't hesitate to kill you right here." I angrily spat making him let out a shaky breath.
"Your favorite movie is Hairspray. You love chocolate. Your favorite color is black, blue and Gold. You would get mad and wake me up in the middle of the night to check if I was the one that drank your chocolate milk. Then all hell broke loose when Mr. Stark left us here on Earth and left us with T'Challa." He said with his hands raised.
"What happened during our Winter Formal?"
"I was the one to tell Mr. Stark that it was coming up. Then he said 'that's nice kid. Are you going to ask anyone?' Then you said that you were going with Sam. So I saw Natasha coming up behind Tony and asked 'Miss Romanoff? Would you like to go to the dance with me?' And then Tony said 'I don't think..' that's when Natasha came up and smiled at us both then stared down at Tony and she said 'of course Peter.' But then someone kept bullying you and Sam and Natasha pulled out their weapons... and you know what happened next." He smiled at the memory.
That's when I teared up. He couldn't make that up for sure. That's when Bucky came back running into the room with a smile on his face but that smile faded and turned into straight line as he harshly walked towards us and yanked Peter up by his shirt. Bucky noticed that I had my spear and he nodded making me put down the spear.
"Who the hell are you??" Bucky angrily said making Peter pale up.
"I-I-I'm Peter Parker. Her best friend." Peter stuttered making Bucky drop him.
"How are you alive?!" He asked Peter who was tugging on his shirt and composed himself.
After Peter explained everything to Bucky, Bucky was shocked. Bucky wrapped his metal arm around my waist as he kissed my temple. Peter day uncomfortably in front of us making Bucky smirk.
"Okay so um dad and Tony need to find out. As soon as possible." I quickly said before leaving Bucky alone with Peter and I opened my bedroom door to see the team.
"Hola! What can I-I help you with?" I sheepishly asked and closed the door a bit so they wouldn't see Peter and Bucky.
"Can you let us in? I got cookies. We need to talk about something important." Steve smile making me laugh.
"You can't.... my room is a mess..."
"We have seen your room and stayed in your room when it was a mess. Now let us in sweetheart." Tony said but I shook my head.
"No."
"Why not? Is there like someone here that would be a shock to us? You don't have to worry sugar. Let's us in or I'll burst in." Sam smirked making me shake my head again.
"No."
"Esperanza..." dad stepped up making me shake my head.
"No dad."
"Esperanza.."
"No.."
"Esperanza Lively Banner! Open this door before the other guy comes out." Dad told me with a stern voice making me gulp and sighed.
"Don't day I didn't warn you..."
That's when I let them all in and they stood there in shock. I walked next to Peter as Bucky went to his side.
"Excuse me, but who the hell do you think you are for coming to our home? Yeah that's right buddy, Friday saw you through the cameras." Tony walked slowly but dangerously towards Peter making Peter shake in fear.
"Uncle Tony..."
"Sh! What? You can't talk now kid?" Tony snapped making Peter clear his throat.
"Mr. Stark, it's Peter. Peter Parker." Peter bravely said making the Avengers gasp.
Then Tony paled up making him faint, then in between dad and Steve, they helped him up.
