Note: I had this idea since more or less my first Jessica&Bucky fic, but I never got around to write it, so I chose this prompt to finally do it haha (and it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to anyway lol)

This is a part of my mcu defenders series, and it takes place before the last two fics about them, this is Jess and Sam's first meeting 🤷

***

Sam and Bucky walked into the bar holding hands – lately Bucky got really comfortable with that, and he just liked to be able to do that. And Sam kind of loved it, too. Everyone knew they were dating, anyway, it’s not like they were hiding it. 

The room was dimly lit, and a bit noisy, like you could expect from a bar, but still there were fewer people than Sam would’ve expected on a Saturday evening. They looked around, and Bucky apparently spotted his new friend pretty quickly, as he pulled Sam in the direction of a booth far in the back, where two figures were seated. One of them was Jessica Jones, who Sam had not had the pleasure to meet yet, but since Bucky met her, they’d started hanging out from time to time, and were becoming friends. Jessica was sitting next to a man, who Sam assumed was her boyfriend. As far as he knew, Bucky hadn’t met him either. They’re already drinking when Sam and Bucky approach.

“Hey.” Bucky slid into the booth opposite them, still holding Sam’s hand. Sam smiled slightly at that. “Sam, this is Jessica Jones. Jess, Captain America.” Bucky grinned, and Sam rolled his eyes, sitting down next to him.

“I’m Sam. Nice to meet you.” he smiled at the woman.

“You too. I’ve heard a lot about you.” she said, then looked at Bucky with amusement. “Bucky talks about you a lot.”

“No, I don’t.” Bucky said defensively, and Sam already knew it was true. Then Bucky smirked and added: “Besides, you talk about your guy a lot, too.”

“Oh, you do?” the man next to Jessica turned to her with a smug smile. “That’s good to know.”

“Oh, shut up, Branes.” Jessica rolled her eyes, and then clearly must’ve kicked Bucky under the table, since he said ‘ow’ and kicked her back. “This is Erik, by the way.” she added, almost off-handedly.

Once the pleasantries were out of the way, they settled into a quite comfortable conversation. Bucky talked much more than he usually did in front of other people, and Sam loved seeing him like this, so at ease, clearly enjoying the company. Jessica had a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and Bucky matched her perfectly in a banter that ensued, and it was very amusing. They seemed to really get each other. Erik seemed perfectly nice, too, very laid-back and also sarcastic, and quite charming, actually.

All in all, it was a nice evening, with lots of talking and getting to know each other, and drinking. Sam didn’t drink much, not wanting to be the only one completely wasted, as he couldn’t keep up with two enhanced people, but he was also surprised to see Erik matching Jessica. 

And then, something happened. Someone walked past their table towards the bathroom, and Erik winced and groaned, grabbing his head. Sam and Bucky had no idea what was happening, immediately alarmed, but Jessica calmly asked:

“How bad?”

“Like a 5.” he pulled out some pills out of his pocket and swallowed a few down with his whiskey.

“What’s going on?” Sam asked, confused.

“Erik-” Jessica started with a sigh, then looked at him for confirmation that she could continue. “Erik has this power. He detects evil people.”

“Are you serious?” Bucky’s eyes widened. Sam was surprised, too, because he’d never even think a power like this could exist. “How does that even work?”

“He gets headaches around bad people. The worse the headache, the worse the person.” Jessica explained, looking at her boyfriend with concern. She caught his eye and he nodded, as if reassuring her he was okay.

“That’s- uh, that must be useful?” Bucky then said unsurely, not knowing what to say. Jess snickered.

“That must be tough to live with.” Sam said empathetically. 

“Yep.” Erik downed the rest of the drink in his glass. 

“So, did it just start to hurt?” Bucky asked quietly, and Sam immediately knew what was going through his head. He reached for Bucky’s hand under the table.

“I think so? It always hurts even a little when I’m around people, but I’m also always heavily medicated.” he smiled weakly, the pain visibly subduing a bit.

“Hm.” Bucky hummed.

“Baby, don’t go there.” Sam spoke up. “We’ve been sitting here for almost an hour. You’re fine.”

“Oh, no, don’t worry, Bucky.” Erik hurried, probably knowing well who Bucky was and who he used to be, as everyone knew. “You’re good. I get nothing from you.”

“You’re sure?”

“One hundred percent.”

“See?” Sam put his arm around Bucky, bringing him closer. Of course he’d known that, because as much as Bucky still felt guilty, he wasn’t consciously aware of anything he was doing as the Soldier, but Sam figured having this little reassurance from, well, a human evil-detector could be good for him, too.

Suddenly, Jessica raised her glass.

“Here’s to the never-ending guilt.” she said dryly, looking at Bucky with understanding. Bucky smiled at her. Sam was really glad they found each other, and had a connection. He needed that, he needed a friend, someone who could relate and understand what he went through. 

“You wanna go catch a bad guy with us?” Erik asked, as he saw the guy leave the bathroom, and he winced at the pain once more. Jessica looked pleasantly surprised at the suggestion, as if he didn’t usually want to chase the bad guys, which, with the pain, Sam could kinda understand.

“Always.” Sam smiled, as the four of them got up.

He had a feeling he’d never really be bored with this group of friends he was making so far. It seemed that the move to New York was indeed a good idea.

Loki Laufeyson (Marvel)- Chapter 16

That afternoon rolled around and they still hadn't gotten back yet. You couldn't stop thinking about it. Your mind always had a way of jumping to the worst case scenario. It wasn't like they were kids either, they could handle their own. All seemed fine until you heard Tony's panicked voice over a com.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. I need you to activate Mark IV, V and VI immediately. Send them to my coordinates!!"

"Right away Sir."

Standing out of your spot on the couch, Loki rose too.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"No idea, but I don't like it. " You could hear what sounded like rockets taking off from the roof, most likely the suits he just requested.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. what's going on, are they in trouble."

"Negative. The Avengers are securing passengers away from the tsunami that has struck Los Angeles. Evacuation is in process. "

"Evacuation." This must have been bad then.

"Can you show me?"

"I've been instructed by Mr. Stark that all is well. Visuals are not necessary." You frown. So not only were they all out risking their lives, he was still treating you like some kid in the trauma ward.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. Tony asked you to assist me in any way you can, right?"

"Yes."

"Then show me what's going on, please." The somber sound of your tone must have struck some nerve, because the tv screen in that room turns on.

The headlines make your stomach churn. The reporter is in a helicopter, doing their best to get a visual.

"Chaos in LA."

It's bold at the bottom of the screen.

"I think, yes it is Tony Stark!!"

The relief is clear on the woman's face. The camera zooms in, and you can see him holding up a pole that had almost fallen into the water where some civilians had been scrambling away the best they could. With all the debris they were holding unto sunk cars and broken trees.

"Mr. Stark, I apologize. Ms. Godfrey insisted."

Another screen pulls up, and there's an image of Tony's face. She'd pulled up his feed too.

"(Y/N)!" How's your day going, better than mine's I'm sure." He never misses an opportunity to throw in a quip or two.

"I'm glad you're okay Tony." He laughs.

"Can't get rid of me that easily."

You can only imagine that Wanda, Vision and the others are off somewhere around the area trying to do the same as Tony. Three other suits of armor appear, and they start lifting the people out of the water to more stable parts. You can feel yourself relaxing just a little. As bad as it was, they were handling it pretty well.

"They'll be okay."

You've been so taken in what's happening you sort of forgot about Loki. The destruction, it isn't new to him. Looking at the fear on those people's faces, he's ashamed. Not just of what his childish actions have done, but also the pain he caused. Before he'd only ever cared for himself and his goals.

A throne. That's what he'd been after since he was just a child. Now, his view has expanded. He never saw himself capable of caring for the wellbeing of others, much less midgardians. But he has, does. Seeing those scared people, he can't help but picture you, trapped under a building screaming for help because of what he'd done. That trauma that you carried around was all because of him.

The blaring red alarms pop up and you can see the way Tony eyes shift reading the warning.

"Tony, another wave is coming!!" Steve voices fills in over the com.

Once everyone is cleared out of the water, he drops the pole, turning around in the air.

"How long do we have?"

"Approximately three minutes before high current reaches beach pierre. Is there a plan of action sir?" Tony couldn't formulate one where he could save all the people below. As the wave got closer he could see the panic clear on their faces. They were already screaming for help. He was at the south side, Wanda at the East and Steve on the West. Steve and Natasha were working through Triage from the areas the water had already lowered to an extent.

How was he supposed to choose between who lived and died? He could hold maybe twelve people at most with his suits. There were at least thirty in this section alone.

"TONY!!"

Your scream made him bite down on his cheek. This was the part of his job he hated the most.

From your view of the screen, you could feel the terror of the situation build up. Some of these people weren't going to make it. The water was coming in fast, way more than Tony could handle.

Someone's sister, brother, husband or wife would not make it home.

This scene breathes a memory, one you'd tried so desperately to forget.

"Is anybody there! P-Please..HELP ME PLEASE!!! I'M DOWN HERE!!

"HELP!!"

"PLEASE CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!!"

"I'M STILL ALIVE!!"

"I'm down here..."

"Someone...anyone..."

Loki could see the present change in your expression, as well as what was about to happen. He couldn't shield you from it. Neither could Tony.

"(Y/N), that's enough, turn it off."

At least he could save you the horror of watching their deaths. You didn't respond, and for a brief moment he wondered if you were just in shock. But that wasn't it. Your head was lowered, and you were still standing upright, but you looked pretty much dead.

"(Y/N)!!" He grabbed either side of your shoulder frantically, but you didn't react, or budge. Your eyes were closed, but you were still breathing.

"(Y/N)..."

Tony's mutter confused him. Loki turned, astonished. You were on the screen. In Los Angeles, at the very pier.

Logically it made no sense. Your body was right in front of him. Then why were you in another state, hovering, maybe flying. He could see the familiar sapphire of your orbs.

"Are you getting this!!"

The news anchor was just as surprised, but the cameraman never stopped filming.

Raising your hands, the screams increased, and right before it could even get close, the water halted, as if blocked by a wall. Tony froze, unsure of what was real anymore. You were holding the current off. At least that's what he thought, but a loud rumble echoed throughout the air. He briefly thought Thor would appear, but that didn't happen, the water kept rushing forward, building up until it evaporated. All he heard was sizzling, smoke filling his vision. Clearly he wasn't the only one who didn't understand what happened right in front of him.

"Wave averted." F.R.I.D.A.Y. reported.

Your body that was once hovering off the ground was gone, the people below cheering.

The second your image disappeared off the screen, Loki looked back. Your eyes opened for a fleeting second and you smiled at him, right before your eyes rolled back and you collapsed. Loki grabbed your body, screaming for you, but no reply came.

Not one.

[sodelusionwizard]

Sam: Hey, Steve, I'm going to the store. Do you want me to bring you anything?

Steve: My will to live.

Sam: Bucky is at Nat's house but ... I mean, I can pick him up if you want.

Bruce and Bucky are confused. But not really. Steve is oblivious but Sam loves him anyway. Everybody else is an idiot. Except for Pepper and Natasha. Of course. Ned is adorable. And Tony definitely adopted the baby science bros' because they're free babysitters. Also, Bruce cooks and it's important. Somehow. Loki also toys with people's emotions thanks to Shakespeare. Overall, the Avengers are a messy Jigsaw.

Sam is the best friend we all wish we could have to be honest. I think that frienship is good for both of them. I'm so happy Bucky seems so comfortable with the Wilsons, it's something really important for his recovery tbh, specially after Steve leaving and him feeling lost and alone. So yes, I love their friendship so much. Also, having Sarah as a sister image would be so sweet (considering he mentioned he had a sister 😭 ) and of course the kids. In short, the thought of the Wilsons adopting Buck as one of them makes me so soft.

the fact that bucky could sleep on the couch rather than the floor in sam's house, the fact that he seems to have slept through the night, the fact that when he hears sounds he doesn't jerk awake in terror, the fact that he just seems genuinely at ease around sam and his family, the fact that he uses his metal arm openly and to help rather than kill, the fact that when sam asks about his nightmares he doesn't even bother to lie like he does to his therapist, the fact that he actually opens up to sam instead of keeping it all locked up, the fact that he admits to thinking the shield was the only family he had left in past tense after spending time with the wilsons, the fact that-

I hear you're a really good lawyer

Yep, I wrote another mcu defenders fic nobody asked for - this time daredevil and Sam lol

Summary: Sam goes to talk to Matt Murdock to ask him to join the new Avengers team.

Ao3 here

it's technically post Daredevil s3 (and post the snap) and I know at the end of s3 Matt, Foggy and Karen were talking about "Nelson, Murdock and Page" but it's so fucking stupid and ridiculous, in this fic they just went back to how it was haha (I should probably also mention that I hate Karen with a passion and it took so much not to make Sam in this fic not like her for whatever reason, but it would be ooc for him - more than this fic already is lmao)

It started out as Sam talking to Matt about joining the team - like Bucky with Jessica in the previous fic - but apparently it ended with them becoming besties? Idek hahahaha

Enjoy hah

***

The sign on the door read Nelson and Murdock Attorneys at Law. Sam knocked lightly, opened it, and saw a blonde woman behind a desk. She immediately got up to greet him.

“Captain America.” she smiled. “Or, uh, mr. A- mr. Wilson.” she chuckled nervously. “I’m sorry. Uh, hello.”

“Just ‘Sam’ is okay.” he answered. He wasn’t used to the way people would get flustered when they met him now, and he didn’t think he’d ever get used to it. He was just Sam.

“Right. Sam.” she tucked her hair behind her ears, clearly still nervous. “Uh, I’m Karen.” she extended her hand, which he shook. “We talked on the phone.” she added. He remembered. He only called maybe fifteen minutes before. It was late afternoon, and the office would close soon. He figured if the guy was in now, he could get it over with. He got lucky.

“Yeah. So, is mr. Murdock in?”

“I am.” he heard a deep, nice voice, and as he turned towards it, he saw a man in a suit, dark glasses on, and a white cane in hand. “Hello, mr. Wilson. Let’s talk in my office.” he moved away, gesturing for Sam to step in the room.

Once they were sitting on opposite sides of Murdock’s desk, he started:

“So how can I help you?”

“Well, I hear you’re a really good lawyer, mr. Murdock.” Sam decided to say. He did his homework. Or, more accurately, Bucky did. Sam had a feeling he just followed the guy they’d been trying to find until he learned his true identity, but he didn’t ask for details. There were rumors about this guy’s, Daredevil’s, abilities, but Sam knew that if anyone could successfully tail him without getting noticed, it was his weird, former assassin of a boyfriend.

“I am. I’m just surprised that Captain America needs a lawyer.” he leaned back in his chair.

“I know some people might not believe that, but law applies to everyone.” he said, trying to find a way to ease into the topic he wanted to reach. “I’m just human, mr. Murdock. The title doesn’t change that.”

“I understand. That doesn’t answer my question, though. What exactly can I help you with?”

“It’s a delicate matter. I don’t even know where to start.” Sam was starting to get a little nervous. Murdock could just keep denying it, and what could Sam do then other than leave? That would suck. Especially since later that night Bucky was going on his own little mission, and Sam was almost sure he’d be successful.

“Maybe from the beginning. Whatever you say stays between us. Attorney-client privilege.”

“Okay.” Sam took a deep breath, considering ten different ways of saying it. “I don’t want to be blunt, but I also don’t want to dance around the subject. It’s, well, a little awkward.” he cleared his throat. “I don’t know if you’re aware, but my partner is the former Winter Soldier.”

“I’m aware.” he answered, his expression changing into curiosity mixed with confusion.

“Recently I asked him to do something for me. To find someone. I knew only he could do it successfully. And he did. And if he’s right, which I believe he is, he found that person.” Sam observed Matt, looking for any signs that he knew what Sam was talking about. Maybe he needed to be more direct. “And you surely know about all the vigilantes in this city.”

“I do. I’ve heard about them.” he answered, his face not betraying any emotions. “Does that have anything to do with any of them?” he asked as if Sam wasn’t the one who just brought them up.

“Actually, yeah. You see, mr. Murdock, my partner and I, we’ve been trying to rebuild the Avengers team.”

“If you’re looking for someone, you might want to go to a P.I. I can recommend a good one, but I don’t think-”

“No, no, that’s not the case.” Sam interrupted rudely. “Like I said, Bucky found that person. And that’s why I’m here.” okay, time to stop dancing around it and just say it. He lowered his voice, though, just in case. “To ask the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen to join us.”

“I’m sorry, you must be mistaken-” Murdock started saying, but then Sam interrupted again.

“I’m not telling anyone, and neither is Bucky. I’m here just to talk. I’m asking for five minutes, and no bullshit. I know , mr. Murdock. And I know that you want to keep your identity a secret, I get it. I swear no one is going to find out, whether you join us or not.” he said, then waited for his response. It’s been a longish while, probably just a minute, but it felt longer. Sam was starting to fear that he got it all wrong and he just made a fool out of himself. Murdock was quiet, but he visibly tensed. He looked ready to jump out of his chair and fight. Then, finally, he swallowed audibly, then cleared his throat, and smiled.

“Well, then you should probably call me Matt.”

“Sam.” Sam said, and Matt nodded.

“How did you find out?”

“Like I said, I have a pretty awesome partner. I knew he could get unnoticed even by your heightened senses.”

“Impressive.”

“I know.” Sam couldn’t help a smile. “So, can we discuss what I came here to discuss?”

“Of course. But since you don’t need a lawyer, why don’t we have a drink?” He got up and walked over to the cabinet, then poured whiskey into two glasses, not a drop spilled, and an exact equal amount in both, and handed one to Sam. That was impressive. Sam heard about his abilities but to see a blind man see was something else.

“We’ve been trying to put together a team.” he said once again, when Matt sat back down. “For the record, the world isn’t ending. Nothing that bad is happening. And I wouldn’t want to take you away from what you’re doing for this city.” he started. “But we’ve been thinking about what if another situation like that happened again? We’re down a couple of teammates, for various reasons that you’ve probably heard of.” he saw Matt nod in acknowledgement. “Right. So, if another world-threatening event happened, we’d be shorthanded. And we could use all the help we can get. That’s why we’re looking for people with abilities we could reach out to in case of such an event. I was also thinking of maybe training together from time to time, whenever I’m in New York. Just so we could work on teamwork, build some trust, you know. So we can work together. It’s completely fine if you say no. I get it, it’s not your area. I mean, aliens?” he scoffed. “I was there and I still can’t believe it. But if you were willing to work with us, here’s my card.” he took a piece of paper out of his pocket, with text in braille, and handed it to Matt. “There’s my number on there, and my partner’s number. If you ever need any help, we’re there. And there’s also a date and an address. Whatever you decide, you can come to the meeting and hear me out in more detail.”

“Who else is on this team?” was Matt’s first question.

“Obviously Bucky and I. Then we have Antman, Wasp, Spider-man. I’m pretty sure Strange is on call if the world was ending again. Uh, Banner and Danvers, that’s for sure. We’re also talking to some more people.” he shrugged, forgetting for a second that Matt can’t see. They still weren’t sure about Clint, or his new protege, and he had no idea what was up with Wanda, and they were talking to a couple more people. “Like, uh, Bucky’s gonna talk to Jessica Jones tonight.” he added.

“Oh wow.” Matt laughed. “Good luck with that. She’s not really a team person.”

“If the people she’s teamed up with before joined, maybe she would too.”

“I wouldn’t count on it. But miracles do happen.” Matt seemed very amused. “That’s, uh, that’s quite a lot of people.” he added after a while.

“Well, there’s never enough help in case of a world-ending event.”

“True.” he fell silent for a second. “I really appreciate the offer, but I do what I do to protect my city. Not the world.”

“I understand. But, you know, if the world is in danger, your city is too.”

“I’m not a superhero.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know, they call you guys vigilantes.” Sam rolled his eyes. “If you ask me, you are a hero. You’re making this city safe. And if it came to it, we could use some help in making the world safe, too.” he finished.

“I’m going to have to think about it.” Matt answered after a minute of silence.

“Of course. And if you change your mind at any point, you have my number. In case you need help, too.” he repeated. “And Bucky’s number. He’s usually more likely to be in New York, so if it’s an emergency, he should probably be your first call. I’m constantly between here, my home in Louisiana, and DC. Mostly.” he sighed.

“The job can’t be easy.” Matt said empathetically.

“It’s really not. And I’m still trying to sort out my living situation.” he scoffed. “Sorry, I didn’t come here to talk about my personal life.”

“It’s fine.” Matt shrugged. “I charge by the hour.” he added in a joking tone.

“Good, so we still have time left.” Sam smiled, as he looked at the clock.

“I mean, I didn’t give you legal advice, and you are Captain America. I won’t charge you.”

“I’m taking up your time, Matt. After hours.” he added, realizing that he came in really close to closing time, and now it was way past it. “I’m paying you.”

“If you insist.” Matt relented. “So how’s that living situation?”

“You really wanna hear about that?” Sam asked doubtfully. He was probably just humoring him now.

“If I agree to join your team, we need to get to know each other.” Matt responded.

“Right. Okay.” Sam couldn’t help a grin. Well, maybe Matt was closer to agreeing than he thought. “So, it’s like this. I don’t wanna leave my sister again. But I work mostly from DC, you know. But then there’s Bucky, who lives here. And I don’t want to take him away from the only place he’s felt like home in since forever. I do wanna ask him to move in with me, though. I can move here, if he really doesn’t wanna leave. I just don’t wanna be away from him for such long periods of time again.” he finished, realizing he’s been rambling now. “I’m not sure if I mentioned that when I call him my partner, I mean in more than one sense.”

“I got that.” Matt chuckled. “Well, seems like a tough decision. Have you talked to him about it yet?”

“Still getting to it. I’ve been hinting at it, but judging how long it took him to catch on that I was flirting before we got together, I need to be more direct. I just don’t wanna make it sound like I want him to choose between here and Louisiana.” he sighed. Now he was just rambling and spilling his guts to this guy he just met. Matt must’ve been annoyed with him, and he must’ve had the patience of a saint not to just throw him out. “I’m gonna stop talking about it now. Sorry.” Sam laughed nervously. He was trying to recruit this guy, and ended up just… whatever he was doing. Shit.

“It’s really fine.” Matt was smiling politely. “You know, I was going to go grab a drink with my friends at our regular bar, if you wanna join and talk that over. Maybe get some more opinions.”

“Uh, sure, why not.” Sam said, though he did feel like he was intruding and Matt invited him out of pity. He could not decipher if it was that, or maybe the guy was just that nice.

But still, they finished their drinks at the office, and then went to join Karen and Matt’s partner - business partner and best friend - Foggy. Sam liked them, and they actually listened to his ramblings and added their two cents. Of course, Sam wasn’t all they talked about, he wasn’t self-absorbed. They spent a lot of time just going through different topics, drinking a bit, and getting to know each other. It was a great evening. Sam was pretty sure that even if Matt wouldn’t want to join them, he’d still like to hang out with him sometime.

It was much later, they were about to leave the bar actually, when Sam’s phone rang. He fished it out of his pocket and smiled when he read the name.

“Hey, what’s up?” he said after answering.

“I talked to Jones.”

“And?”

“I don’t know. Didn’t seem very eager. Though I think we have plans to grab a drink sometime, so.” Sam was sure Bucky shrugged. “How did your thing go?”

“Not sure yet. We’re at a bar having a drink.” he smiled at his companions.

“Oh. You need me to pick you up? How much did you drink?”

“I’m fine, Buck.” Sam rolled his eyes. “I’ll see you at home, I was just about to head out anyway.”

“If you’re sure… Be careful, tho, okay?” there was concern and worry in his voice.

“Of course, baby.” Sam smiled. “See you soon.”

“Yeah. Uh, love you, Sam.” Bucky mumbled. He was still a little uncomfortable with expressing his feelings, especially verbally, but he was making an effort - out of his own volition, Sam didn’t need that - and it was really cute.

“Love you too. Bye.” they hang up. Sam looked at his new friends. “Well, I think I gotta go. It was very nice to meet you all. Matt, we’ll talk soon, I hope.”

“Of course.” Matt assured.

They all said their goodbyes, and then Sam was the first one to leave. As he started to walk to Bucky’s apartment, he looked at this beautiful city, and thought that maybe living there full time wouldn’t be such a bad idea. He’d have to ask how Bucky would feel about it, but, well, maybe his decision has been made and he only needed to spend some time with New Yorkers who really loved this city (or at least one) that could convince him of how great it actually was. And that wasn’t even why he met with Matt in the first place. But now they bonded a little bit, got to know each other, so maybe Matt would be more eager to join. He hoped so. He hoped to create a strong team, just in case. If anything world-threatening happened again, he really wouldn’t want to be unprepared.

“Natasha grew up wanting a viper as a pet. Natasha drinks Russian tea unironically. Natasha thinks CrossFit is weak. She’s not the standard you can use to measure other people.”

“Yeah,” Sam agrees, and his voice has a slight dreamy quality to it.

He might be far enough away that Bucky can’t tip over his chair, but he’s not far enough away to keep his shin safe from Bucky’s booted foot.

“Ow,” Sam glares.

“She’s practically my sister. Don’t think about her with that look on your face.”

“You realize that she’s like ten times scarier than you, right? You don’t intimidate me.”

“I annoy you,” Bucky reminds him. “And I could annoy you a lot more.”
