"Hey!" you respond as he walks towards the fridge. He grabs a water bottle and turns back around to face you.
You stare at each other for a moment before he takes a deep breath and scrunches his eyebrows. You want to say something about earlier but you know it would be incredibly awkward if you were wrong and Bucky was actually your soulmate. So instead you keep quiet.
Thankfully, Nat decided to walk in at that very moment.
"Hey, guys." She says as she sits down next to you. How are you getting settled?
"Good! That room is absolutely amazing by the way, you guys really didn't have to do that much for me."
"Don't mention it." she replies.
You smile at her while trying to figure out what else to say.
Vision suddenly turns around to tell the three of you that dinner is ready, and disappears through a wall. Natasha stands up and walks over to a cabinet, takes out a stack of plates, and walks over to the dining table, placing one in front of each chair.
"Can I help with anything?" You ask, getting out of your seat.
"You wanna get the silverware?"
"Sure." You walk around the island and into the main part of the kitchen, opening random drawers trying to find the utensils. Steve decides to help you and starts walking towards the correct drawer, pushing off the wall he was leaning against.
He opens it for you and you walk towards him, reaching into the drawer to grab some forks.
"Thanks." you sigh, thankful for the help, although sort of embarrassed. Do you think anyone will want a knife?
"No problem, and yeah id give one to everyone."
You nod and make your way over to the table, hands full of shiny forks and knives. You place one of each next to every plate and head back to the kitchen.
Steve is getting out cups for everyone as Bucky walks in. He momentarily freezes as the two of you make eye contact, however he quickly resumes his pace, and walks to the fridge pulling out 2 pitchers of water to set on the table.
You take a deep breath as your eyes find the floor, your mind wandering. Bucky acts so strange around you, while Steve acts so natural. It's almost like he doesn't know what to say. Either that or you intimidate him, which is impossible, he literally has a metal arm! Steve, however, is so calm and collected, he doesn't have much to say either but at least he's actually talked to you. He's probably just a quiet person by nature.
You force yourself to look away from the floor and look up to see Tony walking into the room.
He opens his arms when he sees you, almost as if he's surprised you're there.
"Lynn! How are ya? He asks."
Im good. you nod.
"Great," He clasps his hands together, "Lets eat."
"What about Wands and Vision?" Nat asks.
He frowns, and you make eye contact with Steve. "Right...who wants a drink?!" He points at you, "Lynn?"
You blink as you shift your focus from Steve to him. "Uhh, yeah. Ill uh, i'll have something."
"Great, what do you want?"
You think for a moment. "I don't know, I'm not a huge drinker. Surprise me."
"What do you mean you're not a huge drinker?"
"Umm I mean that i've literally only ever had like one thing, and that would be root beer."
Steve laughs in the corner. And Stark just stares at you, a concerned expression on his face.
"Right… were gonna change that." He spins around and walks over to the bar, you watch as he makes you something.
"You wanna tell me what you haven't drinken anything besides a root beer before?"
"Well... I'm not 21 yet." you say hesitantly
He nods slowly. "That's right. Your birthdays, what? Next month?"
"The twenty third." you sigh.
He hums as he walks toward you with an orange drink in his hand.
"What is it?" you ask, taking it from him.
"Sex on the beach."
You smirk at the name and bring the glass to your lips, you can feel everyone staring at you as you take a sip. The alcohol in it isn't very noticeable.
"It's good. Sweet."
"Yeah, I figured you would like something that's not too overpowering."
"Thanks."
Vision walks in with Wanda right then, followed by Pepper.
Wanda stops walking when she sees you, cocking her head to the side, resembling a curious puppy.
"Who's this?" she asks, as she stares you down.
"That's lynn," Natasha answers. "our new recruit."
"It's nice to meet you." you say, sticking a hand out.
Wanda takes it and shakes it a few times before letting go. Her eyes, however, continue to linger on you. You awkwardly turn your attention to the floor.
Tony clears his throat and you look back up. He motions to the table, "Are we going to eat or…?" You and a few others slightly laugh and everyone makes their way to the dinner table.
