Two days have passed and it is now Natashas Party night and the party has already started in motion. As Thor talks about battles with guests, Steve, Sam, Tony and Rhody play pool by the bar area laughing and playing. Natasha comes down into the party in a beautiful red dress as everyone applauds for her and she makes her way to the bar where Emily is sitting, as a bartender hands them both a drink.

"Sooo, when are you going to sing for me?"

"Ya'know, good question, I don't know, maybe when everyone leaves." Emily responds as she takes a shot before drinking her drink after.

"Come on, it can't be that bad!"

"I want to see you try to drink in front of people!"

"I already did.."

"No, I mean when you're sober Nat."

"I did, it was during a mission, it wasn't that bad."

"Okay, yeah, but you're Natasha Romanoff!"

"And you're Emily Moore."

"Exactly! Not you."

"Em, you don't have to be, you are perfect you don't need to stress out okay? You will be amazing, I know it."

"Thank you Nat." Emily says with a smile as her cheeks begin to flush from embarrassment.

"Just sing when you feel like it!"

"So never right?"

"Can't get out of it that easy." Nat says as she walks away from her making her chuckle.

As the night goes on Emily stays at the bar a little longer sipping from her drink, her nerves rising and winding down all at the same time. As she sits there longer she takes a deep breath, shakes her arms and gets up as she walks over to the stage.

She sings her first song, "You Don't Own Me" and it goes well, everyone is applauding as Nat makes her way front and center cheering her on. As she prepares for her second song, nerves start to get a hold of her as she takes a breath looking at Bucky who is holding a thumbs up smiling ear to ear. The second song she picked had a lot of meaning behind its words as she got ready to sing. Her choice for her second song was "I Can Feel it" by Hey Violet,

"We do what we want" Emily sings halfway through as she looks at Nat who is smiling ear to ear cheering her on as Emily continues to sing, "We'll be the color in all this black and white." As she continues her eyes land on Bucky without noticing during the bridge of the song.

"Oh oh oh oh oooh,

Oh oh oh oh oooh,

Oh can you feel it?,

Oh oh oh oh oooh,

Oh can you feel it?" She says as she reaches a really high note making everyone in the crowd applause and seeing Nat smile and fist bump up to her.

"Are you feeling what I'm feeling?

'Cause it's really feeling right,

Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming,

I could stay here all night,

I can feel it, I can feel it,

I can feel it coming true

I can feel it, I can feel it

When I'm looking at you." Emily finishes the song as everyone goes crazy hollering and cheering asher cheeks begin to flush with embarrassment as everyone stares, soon she starts her last song "Trouble." As she sings her song she drags Nat up onto the stage as Nat sings her background vocals and they continue to sing together.

Soon Emily gets off the stage after a quick bow with Natasha as she follows her and Nat takes her hand leading her to the others where they start to applaud.

"Both of you were amazing!" Thor says as he cheers to them both.

"Yes, I'm positively surprised, I mean Nat I didn't realize you could sing too! We have such talented friends!" Rhodey boasts as he looks between the girls as they smile.

"Thanks guys!" Emily says as she keeps her attention towards them, avoiding Bucky's stare.

As hours go by finally all of the guests have left leaving just the team of Avengers sitting and playing cards.

"I say, we stop this game, and play a new one." Agent Hill suggests as Thor interrupts.

"Oh? And why's that?"

"You're really asking why she doesn't want to play cards anymore, at a party?" Emily asks, looking at him.

"Okay, touché…"

"Let's play Truth or Dare?" Clint asks as he sits up.

"Wasn't that "sooooo old?" Thor inquires with a smirk as everyone just laughs and chuckles. Clint rolls his eyes and sits back down.

"So, who starts?"

"Emily, truth or dare?" Tony starts as everyone looks at her.

"Truth."

"Was your second song about Bucky?" Steve asks as he looks at her, everyone getting quiet watching.

"Ohh, see I thought you would forget about that." Emily says as she holds her head up scratching it.

"What's your answer?" Clint asks, looking at her.

"Yes it was, Thor truth or dare?"

"Truth,"

"Who is the sexiest guy in the room? And you can't say you!"

"Steve, Emily truth or dare?"

"Oh gosh… Dare."

"We dare you to say why did you sing that song for him." Tony says with a smile on his face.

"Okay fine! It's my way of telling him that," she starts as she clears her throat and sighs, "that I care about him. And if he eventually wants to be more than friends, I'm not really opposed to that idea." She says with a nervous smile as she avoids his stare looking around the room.

"That's cute." Nat says as she sits back and smiles.

"So, Bucky, what do you have to say?" Wanda asked, fully invested into them.

"Hm… I- I don't know."

"What do you mean by you don't know?" Wanda asks getting a little angry

"I-"

"It's okay!"

"What?!"

"I didn't ask for an answer, I didn't ask him to feel the same way, I just needed to say what I feel. It's… okay." Emily says with a nervous smile trying to calm down Wanda. "Plus it's really late, I think we all need to go to bed." Emily states as she looks at her watch.

Emily gets to her room, showers and changes into nice silk pajamas as she gets ready to get into her bed, once she sits on the bed she hears someone lightly knock on the door. "One minute." She yells out as she buttons up her top some more and opens the door. "Hey.."

"Hey," Bucky says, tilting his head down but keeping eye contact with Emily.

"What's up?"

"I just wanted to apologize, I'm really a douchebag for not answering and-"

"Hey, like I said it's okay, I really don't want you to feel bad about anything, It's just a crush, I will be okay!" Emily states as she fakes a smile at him making sure it isn't too obvious.

"No but I wanted to…"

"To what?"

"It can wait, I see you're really tired."

"You're sure? If it's important we-"

"No, don't worry, it can wait until tomorrow." He says with a small smile.

"Okay, good night then Bucky."

"Good night."

She closes the door still holding a fake smile until a single tear rolls down her face as a few more start to follow. The next day she is already downstairs eating a bowl of cereal as Bucky walks in as Emily asks to talk to him. He agrees to talk before Tony comes bursting in.

"Don't have time for talking, we have a mission. Since you're still taking a break Emily you're going to stay here and rest, no need for any information today."

"Okay," she says as she nods. She quickly grabs Bucky's hand as he turns to leave but looks back to her first. "Please stay alive…"

"I will doll."

The mission takes about four hours when they come back. Thor has a smile as he stretches. "That wasn't too hard."

"Yeah, which makes it very suspicious." Bruce says with a small worried look.

"Where is Emily?" Nat asks looking around as Tony comes from around the corner looking at them

"Guys, come see this…"
