They ride with the elevator seems a bit longer than normal and the cat struggles a bit and shuffles around. Y/N tries to purr at her soothingly and Bucky does his part with patting them through the pocket. Y/N peeks out of the pocket and watches where Bucky is heading. She looks up and him and meows, wanting to know why he's walking to the common room. "What?" Bucky looks down with a small smile. Y/N meows again and looks to the door before she looks back up. "Why I walk to the common room? Well, I thought it might be good to show her a place where everybody else will be. She can find some places to hide and get used to them. Should I not? Do you want me to go to my room? Or yours?" Y/N considers it for a moment but then she meows silently with a purr and looks to the door again. Bucky smiles and strokes over her head which she appreciates with a slow rumble in her chest. She waits for Bucky to stroll through the doors and straight over to the couch. Bucky lets her jump out and Y/N sits down patiently. "JARVIS, can you send Bruce up, please?"

"Of course, Sergeant." Y/N nods and waits for Bucky to let her friend out. The black cat is cautious. She looks around with wide eyes, laying low in few and dashes over to Y/N and hides between her and the backrest. Y/N starts to lick over her fur soothingly while Bucky carefully sits down. Bucky watches them for a moment before he looks up. Y/N sees his movement and follows his eyes over to Tony. The scientist eyes them closely and she can see that he wants to come over. Her eyes meet his and he smiles a small crooked smile. "You know I saw what you did down there. You're a little too much like us. You risk yourself by changing in front of so many, you know that?" Steve and Peter watch them silently. Y/N meows at tony and purrs a little. Buck chuckles. "Are you suddenly concerned about her?" Tony gasps. "She's family! Of course, I am." Y/N meows again. She knows he worries. Their start wasn't the best but in the last couple of weeks she found that the man actually cared pretty much about her. And she likes him, cares for him and the others even when Bucky remains her favorite. Y/N friend is still hiding behind her, she peeks a little form behind her to see all the people more clearly and eyes them for a long time. Y/N licks a little over her head, then she lies down comfortably and snuggles against the slightly smaller cat. She hears Steve snort and looks over to him. He tries to look innocent and very interested in the tablet but Y/N sees his sheepish glances to her. She narrows her eyes and is pleased as he smiles nervously and clears his throat. Y/N sties lied down for a while, licking now and then over the nervous black cats' fur and nuzzles her head against her. She lets Bucky pat her for a little time but the doors open and reveal Nat and Bruce. Y/n feels her friend tense beside her. It's okay. They're fine. Just like the others. No one is doing something and no one will. Y/N meows and lets her chest rumble. The cat looks only nervously at her before her eyes dart to Bruce who crouches down besides Bucky and stats whispering, eyes on the cat. Y/N ignores him for now and turns to Nat who its down behind her, making the black cat twitches and spin around with a feared screech. It's fine, really. Y/N tries to assure her friend but she seems to not really believe her so she decides to proof it. She walks the two steps over to Nat, only to flop on her side like she got pushed and snuggles against Nat's thigh. To proof that the woman really is not a threat she stretches, paws against her leg and uses the slightest bit of claw. "Ow. Y/N!" Nat winces but still smiles as Y/N meows apologetically. She bumps her head against Nat's pants and lets out the obscene meow she ever made as Nat starts scratching just at the right spot. It feels so good and Y/N feels herself almost lost in the pleasure of it. "Hey, Y/N. Is this your friend? The one who was on the fire escape when I went to you?" Y/N looks up at Nat who eyes the black cat closely, trying to remember if she, in fact, is Y/N's friend or not. Y/N meows and jumps on her feet, flicking her tail in excitement. That's right! Y/N turns to her friend and lick over her face, making the cat scowl a little. You know Nat already! She's the one who brought me food and visited me for a while. Do you remember?
