Chapter Ten: Moving Forward in Life

Bucky knew that Anna used to be a con artist, making a living manipulating people in order to gain access to their money and have her way. While he didn't know anything about her past, other than what she had revealed to him in a moment of weakness, he knew that Steve vouched for her so he wanted to try and let her help him.

"Did you break the toaster again?" Anna's voice rang out from the kitchen, causing him to shuffle in to the kitchen, seeing the mess of toaster parts on the counter.

"Yes?"

"I swear you break more things than I do"

"Sorry"

"I was messing with you. It's fine, Kat has a bunch of things bulk bought for me." The blonde chuckled as she cleared off the bench "Until you accidentally destroy a fridge, washing machine, dryer, oven and most kitchen appliances within a week, you have nothing to worry about"

"Your powers?"

"Sometimes I forget how strong I am"

"How strong are you?"

"Stronger than you think"

"You didn't answer the question" Bucky stated earning a smirk from the blonde "you aren't going to answer it are you?"

"You're learning fast"

The relation/friendship between the two roommates was one that none of their family/friends believed would work out, well those who knew about it anyway. Steve worried about the mental state of both Bucky and Anna, given how they acted and their personalities. While Captain America worries were logical, Sam's were based off of the fact that Anna didn't play well with others and was a complete wildcard. Ivy, Kat and Wanda's concerns were more out of the fact that they cared a great deal for the blonde, as well as her history with her new roommate.

While those who cared about Anna and Bucky had their doubts about the situation they were in, the pair were content or as close to content as they could be with how everything had played out.

RING. RING. RING

Rolling over in her bed Anna blindly patted around the bedside table to get her phone, the light from the screen nearly blinding her.

"Someone better be dead" the blonde mumbled annoyed,

"Anna?" a female voice spoke, causing the enhanced to sit up in her bed when she recognised the voice, even in her sleepy haze. "I forgot that you aren't a morning person. It's Olivia"

"Olivia? What's wrong? Is it Kat? She alright?"

"She's … smashed"

"Can you keep her there for a bit?" Anna frantically looked around the room for some clean clothes, grabbing a pair of jeans and a tank top "I'm on my way to pick her up"

"Thanks. I got worried since she hasn't done this in a while"

"I'm on my way" the young woman said as left her apartment, forgetting for a second that there was a person who worried about her inside and was unaware that she was going out at two in the morning.
