Rain began to fall from the dark clouds hastily once Becca left Stark Tower. It was only just now that she noticed her ignorance towards the weather. Lacking any kind of protection, Brooklyn used her bag as a cover and began to run down the streets. On any other day that it was raining, Becca would walk through the streets happily as she found the rain soothing, but knowing that she had plans with Emily meant that she was to quicken her pace. Hearing her phone ring in her pocket, Becca paced into a store and answered her phone after knowing it was Emily.

"Hey, Em what's up?"

"Nothing I was just calling you to see how the interview went," Emily explained. Within a few short seconds the connection went rough but Becca was aware that the weather had something to do with that.

"Listen, I'm losing signal. Can I tell you later when you visit?"

"Sure thing!" Emily hung up and ended the call shortly after, leaving Becca to sigh as she noticed the rain grow heavier. She was definitely going to have to get a bath later.

Not long after running through the city streets and running through numerous puddles, Becca finally reached her small apartment. Although it was small, Becca was grateful for it as her parents bought it for her. Tossing her keys to the side on her small coffee table and kicking off her shoes, Becca walked into her kitchen and turned on the kettle. She needed a coffee and she needed it now. Not long after the kettle wheezed and Becca finally got her well earned coffee. Grimacing at the bitter taste, Becca added some more sugar into her cup before being completely satisfied.

Walking into her bathroom, Becca set her cup onto the shelf as she examined her appearance. She looked tired but that was because she was currently trying to beat the insomnia that she had had for a couple weeks. Pulling the hair tie out of her hair and allowing her wet locks to fall to her shoulders, Becca ran her fingers through her hair and sighed. She looked a mess right now. Her mascara had started to run down her cheeks and her hair was nothing but a tangled mess.

Pivoting on her foot, Becca ran the hot water into her bathtub and quickly finished her coffee and washed it up in the kitchen sink. Becca rummaged through her cupboards until she found her shampoo and conditioner and some body wash. Once the bath was ready, Becca striped herself from her damp clothes and stepped into the bath. Becca let out a relieved sigh as she felt all the dirt wash off of her. The girl held her breath as she lowered her head into the water and allowed the water to run through her hair. She felt at peace as the water consumed her and she had felt like she escaped the world and was now on some other world.

Becca left her bathroom and walked into her room. Pulling out some underwear and a bra with some pajamas, Becca changed and dried her hair. She didn't want to look like a mess once Emily arrived. As if on queue, Emily knocked on the door.

"Hey, Becks." Emily gleamed, handing Becca a bottle of their favourite red wine. Becca was glad that it was just one bottle as Emily couldn't handle her drinks very well and she didn't want a repeat of what happened last Christmas.

"Come in," Becca said, ushering her friend into the warm apartment and away from the cold rainy weather outside. A large rumble of thunder sounded from the outside and was shortly followed by a flash of lightning. Although Becca was fazed by the storm that was slowly brewing, Emily was beginning to tremble. "It's ok, let just watch some movies!" Becca soothed.

After a few hours the wine bottle was empty and the end credits to How to lose a guy in 10 days rolled down the screen.

"Who needs a boyfriend anyway?" Emily whined, drinking the last sip of her wine that swished around in the bottom of her glass. "You see these dumb blonde haired chicks getting guys to buy them gifts but what about us? We're independent women who don't need some assholes cash to be happy." Becca nodded and agreed with her half drunk friend, although she was hoping that any minute now Emily would remember she is engaged. "Oh yeah, how was the interview?"

"It was great actually, although Tony seemed a bit full of himself. Most of the guys working there are complete dicks except this one guy who helped me find the elevator-"

"What one guy?" Emily said.

Becca blinked at Emily for a short moment. A second ago, Emily was rambling about how they don't need a guy to make them happy but now she seems nothing but interested at the mention of a man.

"Just a guy who helped me find the elevator."

"No, tell me what he was like. What did he look like? Was he hot?"

"He was somewhat...attractive. He was tall and had muscles," Becca could already hear Emily swooning even though she hasn't even laid her eyes on the guy. "His hair was messy and an odd silver shade, but other than that, he seemed a bit full of himself."

Emily's shoulders slumped. Of course Becca would find a way to shoot a guy down. She has done that since school with any boy that she got close to. Emily used to set Becca and a guy who had something in common with her, yet Becca had a habit of friend-zoning them or just telling them 'she isn't looking for a partner right now'.

"You know, this guy could be the love of your life yet you're just pushing him aside as if he was a meal you did not want yet ordered." Emily said. Becca raised her brow, not even bothered how Emily had used food references. That girl could eat for the entire world and she would still be hungry. Although the two are both polar opposites, they seem to get on surprisingly well- even though they did have the occasional argument over petty things.

Becca ran her fingers through her hair, flinching as she tugged on a few tangles. "I know I know, but I can't help it. I hardly know that guy, but if I meet him again I promise you I'll give him a chance."

On queue, Becca's phone rang and that called ID stated Stark Industries. Becca raised her brow before answering and shushing her noisy companion.

"H-hello?"

"Hey! It's Tony- I don't need to tell you my last name as you should never forget me. I'm calling to see if you're interested in another interview with my buddie Steve?" Tony said through the phone. Becca's heart dropped. Was she dreaming this entire day? Or was she actually having some luck for the first time in her life.

"Sure! I would love that!"

"Great. See you tomorrow then." Tony said before hanging up.

Her eyes widened and she jumped off the couch before swirling around. "I'm interviewing Captain America tomorrow!" She screamed with excitement. Emily joined her in the small parade. Maybe Becca's life was starting to get better now.

Thank you so much for the many favs and follows (I'm still shocked at home many I got with just one small chapter).

LaughterLover98~ I'm happy you like it! I thought it would be a bit annoying if Becca kissed up to Tony so I've made her a bit more hard to persuade.

Esmereilda~ I'm sorry for deleting the last one (I really am) but this is a fic I will not (and I repeat WILL NOT) delete no matter the circumstances.
