Tony comes by into Bruce's lab with some papers as he hands them to Emily as she continues working on a new program, Tony walks downstairs to continue working on his suit as she prepares some paperwork. When she realizes he has left she begins to hum a song before starting to sing some lyrics while she works. As she starts to sing a melody to a song someone pops their head quietly around the corner looking in.
"Who is that…" Thor states in a monotone voice as he looks into the lab and scans the room before seeing Emily. As he locks his eyes to her he begins to take out his phone from his back pocket to record her. Still unsure of how to use this technology in front of him he slaps it quietly. "How does this profound thing work?" He asks, bumping it a few more times as it finally begins to record her singing out loud getting to a few high notes as she hits them perfectly. Before Emily finishes the song, Thor stops the recording and runs down to where the others are." Mortals! Look at this!"
As Thor shows them her singing they all try to scurry up to the lab and listen in on her singing as she finishes a different song.
"Wow…" Bucky starts
"You're a really good Kid." Tony goes on,
"Ah! Where did you guys come from?"
"Brooklyn?" Steve starts as Emily rolls her eyes at him.
"Don't just come in and scare me like that… Oh,also did I mention that the Omega defense works?" She asks, looking straight at Tony.
"No… no you didn't."
"Oh, well it works, I used it the last time with the Hydra problem last month."
"That's great! Tony states in amazement.
"Yes it is! And now I'm hungry. Is it dinner time yet?"
"So is nobody going to speak about how good she sings?" Bruce asks, looking between everyone before they make their way down to the kitchen.
As everyone sits around the table having dinner that Wanda had prepared Natasha sits up and clears her throat. "So I'm not one to celebrate my birthday, but since it is coming up in a week, I would like you to sing at my party Emily." She starts as she smiles lightly to her and everyone's focus moves onto Emily.
"You know that I love you right? But there is no way I am singing in front of people."
"Come onnnn-"
"Nope-"
"Come on, you already sang in front of us." Steve buts in
"Not voluntarily. You all just became mini stalkers watching me from behind."
"Please Emily?"
"... UGH, fine!"
"Great! I would like five songs please and thank you!"
"How about three songs and we never speak of this again?"
"I can't promise that last part." Natasha says with a smirk as she looks at Emily with a wink.
"Okay, cool, now that that's settled, I'm going to my room."
"To prepare my songs?"
"Sure…" Emily smiles as she brings her plate to the sink and leaves for her room.
As time passes Emily sits on her bed scrolling through her music list, next to her is a notebook that she scribbles into with song ideas that she can use. Suddenly theres a small knock on the door as her head spins up and looks over, "It's open."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Bucky asks as he walks in sitting on the chair near by.
"Trying to find songs for Nat's birthday."
"Oh, you were serious downstairs?"
"Well… I wasn't, but I really want to make her happy, so I will apply myself to the task!"
"Awe, well that is really sweet of you."
"Oh, shut up would you," she says as she smacks him with a pillow and chuckles, she moves over in the bed and pats the spot next to her. "Come help me would you?"
"Any idea of a song to sing yet?"
"I was thinking about "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore, because it's one of her favorite classics, and maybe "Trouble" by Valerie Broussard."
"Is it?"
"Yes sir."
"You seem to know her pretty well huh?"
"As being one of her closest friends, even if it isn't a long time, yes I do."
"Awe, now isn't that cute."
"Oh will you quit that?" She says as she hits him with a pillow, he chuckles and retorts back by hitting her with a pillow ending their night with a pillow fight war.
The next morning Emily wakes up and changes as she makes her way downstairs where everyone else is, in front of her usual seat is a plate full of toast, sausage, and fruits. "Who is this plate for?"
"It's for you Doll," Bucky says with a cheeky smile as he leans over looking at her.
"For me?"
"Yup, made it specifically for you!"
"Okay, now isn't that cute."
"Hey, stop copying me!"
"Just for now, I will listen, just because you made me food," she says as she sits quietly in front of it and takes a bite of her toast with a smile.
"I'll have to make you more breakfast then huh."
"Fine by me!"
"Sooo, Emily, how is it going with the songs?" Nat asks as she lifts her eyebrows a couple times.
"Good so far, but I'm still undecided for my third song…"
"I'm sure it will be amazing whatever you choose! But hurry up, the party is in two days!" Nat says with a big smile as she walks out leaving Emily sitting there and laughing as Bucky watches nearby.
A Little later in the day Emily was in the training room, punching the bag and doing a small work out routine as she kept thinking about her next song. Eventually Bucky walks in and they make a quick exchange to each other as they smile and Bucky does his own arm workout and such. As an hour passes Bucky walks over to Emily and smiles,
"So, miss Emily, care to finish off training with a little one on one fight?"
"You want your revenge from our first fight don't you?"
"I mean, yeah it was kind of embarrassing…" He admits with a small smile.
She laughs and nods her head agreeing to a quick duel. They fight one on one for a bit as Bucky does some cool pouches and attacks Emily tries her best while holding them off. Soon Bucky trips on top of her making them both collapse to the ground out of breathe.
"Are you okay?" Bucky starts looking worried.
"Yes, I am fine." She says as they both stare at each other for awhile in silence before Emily clears her throat and looks around, "Hm, you know, I think… I think I should go, um, yeah, I got to shower… and finish the songs, and stuff.. For Nat's birthday…" She looks around a little frantic but still trying to keep her cool.
"Oh, yeah, yeah okay!"
"Bucky?"
"Yes?"
"We should get up…" She says with a small laugh.
"Oh, oh yeah! Let me help you up." He says as he quickly gets on his feet extending his hand out to help her back up as she gladly takes it, both standing, holding hands and staring into each other's eyes.
"Em… you gotta go remember?"
"Oh yes! Okay bye!" She states as she runs out towards the stairs to go back to her room as Bucky stays behind and chuckles.
