Chapter 46-A Happy Ending

Third Person:

Months later and it was their wedding day, and they were both extremely nervous. Neither one of them were going to show it though. They both had to much pride, and they didn't want to bother the other because they were so nervous. They didn't mind talking about their problems with each other, but because of that small part of them that always thought they would be a burden for each other, they never voiced it until the other noticed.

Beni sighed as she looked in the mirror. She didn't mind wearing a dress on any occasion despite the fact that if she did then her leg would surely show. She wasn't really as self conscious about it like Bucky was. But if it was hot enough then Beni would make him go without a jacket or long sleeved shirt when they went out.

She looked over to Natasha, who was giving her a small smile.

Beni didn't have many friends that were girls, but she considered Natasha one. She'd considered Natasha a friend ever since that first mission all those years ago. Then there was also Pepper Potts, who Beni had become really good friends with because Tony was the boss of both of them. That meant they saw each other pretty often, so Beni thought that she might try to make friends, at least. And her last bridesmaid was Sharon Carter. Beni had met her through Natasha, and Nat had informed her that Sharon had Steve had a bit of a thing going on. Those three people were basically her only friends that were girls. The rest were all guys.

"You've got nothing to worry about," Pepper said as she tightened something on the back of Beni's dress. Beni inhaled and exhaled nervously, trying to stop her hand from shaking. But you wouldn't be able to tell unless you looked closely enough.

"Yeah," Beni said, smiling in the mirror. "I totally got this."

Meanwhile Bucky was standing tall and proud in front of his mirror next to Steve, but he was equally as nervous as Beni was. Especially since he couldn't decide on his hair style. Should he pull it back or keep it down? Maybe he should just keep it down and tease it back...No, he tried that before. It didn't look very good on him. Steve always had nice, clean hair, and he was a lucky bastard for it. Lucky bastard.

"You're a lucky bastard, you know that?" Bucky said. Steve snorted.

"You're the one getting married, not me," he replied, clapping Bucky on the shoulder with one of his strong hands. Sam just sighed and walked over.

"First of all, I think he's talking about is hair. Second, Beni's not into you like that. Third, hand me that brush. Steve, fix his flower," he said, grabbing the comb out of Bucky's hand.

"You know how to do hair?" Both Steve and Bucky asked in unison. Sam stopped for a moment.

"I had a mom who showed me stuff with the cousins. Beni likes to do his hair all the time. It can't be that hard, can it?"

Sam combed all of Bucky's hair back and put it in a low ponytail while Steve worked on the blue rose that was attached to Bucky, making it look all nice and pretty as if Sarah Rogers was looking over his shoulder looking at is work.

Sam and Steve looked back at their work with smiles, and Sam threw the comb at Tony Stark to get his attention. He had been texting or something. None of them really cared, and really the only reason he was one of Bucky's best men was because Pepper, Tony's girlfriend, was good friends with Beni, therefore she needed someone to walk down the aisle with her. But he thought Happy Hogan was a petty good guy to hang out with.

"Tony, you're the diva," Steve said, putting his hands on his hips while Sam crossed his arms. "Does he look wedding worthy?"

Tony pocketed his little device and gave Bucky a long look all over. He sniffed Bucky a couple times before deeming that the cologne masked the smell of gun powder, and nodded his head wit a smile.

"Go get 'em, Tiger," He said with a smile. Bucky smiled in relief and nodded.

"Thanks."

"You may kiss the bride," the dude with the Bible said. He smiled at the two and Beni leapt into Bucky's arm and kissed him. He spun her around as they did so, and the crowd went wild. Especially the army folk that Beni knew. Though she noticed that John and Troy kept glaring at Bucky. Probably a warning, but it made her want to laugh. There were also a few people from work that she actually kind of likes, and some old people from the forties that Steve and Bucky had been friends with along with a few super heroes from Steve and Tony's side. Bruce Banner, Clint Barton (who was a little jealous of Sam because he had walked with Nat), and, surprisingly, Thor was there, too.

"Can I toss the flowers, now?" Beni asked excitedly. Natasha just laughed as she handed the bouquet over to Beni, who turned around and threw them behind her. When she turned back around none of the girls had the flowers. Tony did, and he was doing a little victory dance as if he had just won the super bowl. Beni laughed, and Bucky rolled his eyes.

It was only an hour more before they were all eating food and having fun. Especially when Beni purposely missed Bucky's mouth and nearly started a food fight with the cake being the main source of weaponry.

"Speech!" Troy called, slinging his prosthetic around John's shoulder, who raised his glass. Beni and Bucky looked at each other and shrugged before walking into the spotlight where every one stared at them.

"Well, there really isn't much to say," Beni started. "We're hitched, and don't feel like acting out a Shakespeare play for us to say how much we love each other. The kiss at the altar was a promise."

Across the room, Thor stood up and smiled at the newly weds. He took a drink and raised his glass.

"Another!" He smashed his cup on the ground and it shattered. Beni grinned and quickly grabbed her wine glass, and handed Bucky his. They raised it in unison.

"Another!" They shouted, louder than Thor somehow, and smashed their half filled glasses on the ground. And soon every one was doing it. Stark did it three times. The only people who didn't do it was Pepper and Bruce, which is why Tony did it three times.

"Well, Bruce, be prepared for another brain in the Tower," Stark said. "They should be moving in tomorrow."

"Beni is a scientist?" Bruce asked as he smiled. Tony nodded.

"One of the best that's working for me at the moment. But she said she would quit her job and start doing all of her research at home because there are way more resources."

"What's her field?"

"Reptiles. She's been working on perfecting Connor's serum for the past few years now. She's a big fan of our work."

"Mostly yours, Bruce," Pepper pitched in.

"I'm flattered. I've read a lot of her work as well. She's almost there, but she's trying to get it to where the only lizard part people have is growing a limb. I think her last trials gave the extra limb but it was a lizard limb. At least, that's what Tony said."

"She's gotten closer than most in just a few years," Tony praised, raising his glass to Beni when she looked over. She grinned, and her eyes landed on Bruce. They watched as she almost started fangirling, but then she twisted away to the song with Bucky.

"They're perfect for each other," Pepper said with a smile. Bruce leaned back in his chair.

"It certainly seems like it."
