Bucky
A Week Later…
Bucky felt the cool air on his face, he was sitting at a café. He was staring at his left hand; which was covered by a long sleeve shirt and glove. Quite odd in Austria, during the summer. Bucky explained to a few people that it was a prosthetic. That was where the conversation would end usually. Bucky spent five days in a medical bay, and he was relatively healed. His ankle was still stiff, and his many bruised and broken bones had healed, but that didn't mean that the pain was gone. If he pressed his ribs to hard it would hurt, normal; but a pain in the ass.
He had asked Fury for some time off, and he agreed. He also told him about the new Avengers. Bucky was just happy to hear that Steve and Natasha were still on the team. Bucky would like to show himself to Steve, but he knew that the time wasn't right. Besides, he was on vacation. He lightly sipped at his tea. He never liked tea, but it would have to do. Bucky had a promise to keep and Bucky saw the one person he always wanted to see. Hill sat down across from him, her hair was down, like the time that during Christmas when she invited him out. He liked it, and some part of him could see that she knew it to.
Bucky looked at her, she drank her tea; clearly enjoying it more than him. Her eyes made contact with his and she slightly giggled. "What?"
"There is still time to back out" Bucky said with a sly smile
"No, I am meeting him, and we are drinking" Hill said putting her tea down
"How's the tea?" Bucky asked
"Revolting" Hill said and she slightly shivered in disgust.
"Yeah, well it's almost time" Bucky said looking at his watch.
"Well it is getting dark"
"Then it is time I take you drinking" Bucky said standing and he held his right hand out to her.
Hill looked at him and he rolled his eyes and he put his hand down and he put out his metal hand. Hill accepted it and she put her arm around his biotic one and they both walked down the street.
"Did you pay?" Bucky asked
"Nope" Hill said
Bucky frowned then smirked "Bad girl" he said softly
Hill laughed and she got close and whispered in his ear "Teach me a lesson later"
Bucky snickered and he looked at Hill. Hill lightly shrugged at his face and they continued on and they could see the pub in the distance. They got to the door and Bucky stopped Hill.
"Last chance" Bucky said
"Come on Barnes, live a little" Hill said and she lightly tapped his face and she walked in, leaving him outside alone.
Bucky watched as Hill gave Gerald a hug and she accepted a shot and drank it quickly. Bucky smiled and he looked around, he could live a little.
Pepper Pots
The clock was ticking consistently and a file was open and in front of Miss Pots. She was reading it carefully. She looked up and she turned the chair, she looked at the view and she closed her eyes for a few seconds, then the phone rang. Pepper turned and answered it "Yes"
"The job interview ma'am" a man's voice said
"Yes, send her in" Pepper looked at her desk and she closed the file and tucked it away. She saw the door open and a woman who was strikingly beautiful walked in. She wasn't tall or short, she kind of reminded her of Natasha, except for the blonde hair.
Pepper stood up and walked forward and she shook the woman's hand. "Nice to meet you Miss…?"
"Belova" the woman said in a slight Russian accent
"Sit Miss Belova" Pepper walked back to her seat and she sat down "I hear you are looking for a job"
The woman nodded and she had a smile that could make anyone do anything "Yes, but I was expecting to meet with Mr. Stark"
Pepper was about to speak when the all too familiar voice interjected "Mr. Stark was my father, Tony is fine; and you are?" Tony said walking into the room
The woman smiled and she shook his Tony's hand.
"What do you do Miss…?"
"Belova" Pepper said
"Belova?" Tony asked
The woman took her time answering the question "I specialize in observing" she said
"Like spying?" Tony asked
"Of sorts" she said
Pepper didn't know why but she didn't like the woman, it wasn't because she was beautiful, but she gave off a vibe that she didn't like "Tony maybe we should talk in private" Pepper said
"Nonsense, do you know the Avengers Miss Belova?"
"Uh no, unless you mean Captain America and of course you the Iron Man"
"Well, how would you like to represent Stark Industries for the Avengers?"
The woman looked at him for a few seconds "I would love to"
"Good, you start tomorrow, have a nice day Miss Belova"
The woman thanked them and she walked out of the room and Pepper couldn't believe Tony.
"Tony, what the hell"
"She seems nice enough" Tony said
"You barley know her"
"I barely know anyone, look calm down. She won't be doing anything major, just some reports and such things" Tony said
"You're sure?" Pepper asked
"Yes, now get your jacket, we are going home" Tony said
Pepper grabbed he jacket and slipped it on and she kissed Tony, Tony smiled and he opened the door, letting Pepper walk out first. Tony and Pepper walked down the stairs and toward the car. The woman was standing in the corner where they didn't see her. She was holding her fingers to her ear and she could hear Tony and Pepper talking as they drove away. She smirked and she took her fingers away and she walked down the stairs and out of the building. She needed to prepare for the new job.
