Chapter 21

Warnings: None (anyone can read this story)

𝓦𝓔 ended up out by the pool again. I had rolled up Bucky's sweatpants, dangling my feet in the warm water. Bucky and Steve sat next to me on either side, giving me a little bit of room.

"Did you know you were human?" Bucky asked softly.

"No. I had no memories." I whispered, kicking my feet a little.

"Will you accept the bond?" Steve asked eagerly. I could see the tattoo of the dagger surrounded by flowers pulsing on his arm, flashing white and then back to its normal inky black.

I did not answer, not sure of my answer. I did not want to lose my Father, Uncle, and Grandparents when I had only just gotten them back. On the other hand, I did really want this. I wanted their love, which I knew- though flawed- would make me extremely happy.

"What about Nat and the blond girl?" I asked softly. "Even if I left, you could still have them."

"We don't want them." Bucky said fiercely. "They were just for fun until we found our other third- until we found you."

"We said even if our soulmate rejected us, we would never be with another after finding her." Steve said softly. "So now that we've found you, we would never be with them, even after you left, if you leave."

"Please don't leave." Bucky begged. "We've been waiting for you for ninety years."

That really wasn't much longer than I had been waiting for them. I had been waiting for them for seven hundred years, being only seven hundred and ten years old. I was a rather young one. That was part of the reason Thor and Loki were so worried about me being with these humans. If they died as their age, I would live a long time with the pain.

I glanced over at Bucky. He was holding his breath, waiting for a proclamation from me. I smiled a little. "Well, I've already loved you for a while now."

Bucky breathed out, his hand trailing around to the back of my head. "Please let me kiss you?"

"You may."

Bucky pulled me in very quickly, his lips making mine give way to his from the force. He tasted bitter, like the coffee he'd been drinking, but also sweet, a slight vanilla taste from the donut. My fingers carded through his hair, the silk strands delicate in my touch.

I could feel his hands gripping me tightly around the waist, not wanting to let go of me, before he pulled back slowly, leaning so that our foreheads touched. "I love you."

I blushed at the thought, cuddling into his chest. "I love you too."

Even if my love had been different as a cat. But I had always loved these humans, the ones that took care of me. I knew they would still take care of me.

Steve was mostly quiet until Bucky was ready to let me go- which wasn't for quite a few minutes. Finally, Bucky's arms loosened around me, kissing me again, before giving me a slight turn to face Steve.

Steve's bottom lip was still being gnawed on from worry. His blue eyes were hesitant and the golden light from the sun streamed in through the loose strands of his blond hair, giving me a literal reason as to why Steve Rogers was the 'golden boy'. "Steve?"

He looked at me completely, looking at my outstretched hand for a moment. He blinked a few times, as though he'd been lost in thought and I had dragged him back into reality. He reached forward to grab it, before pulling me onto his lap.

I straddled him as he kissed me, and he was different from Bucky. His lips were softer, shaping against mine. I could taste a different sort of creamy vanilla and also tartness of strawberries and lemon. His bottom tongue swiped mine, and I let him in.

His hair was more bristly than Bucky's and I ran my fingers along the top strands over and over in a repetitive motion, as though I was petting him.

His fingers clutched the back of my shirt and dug into my hip. I finally pulled away for air and Steve's lips continued to travel down my neck to the hollow of my throat.

He leaned back a little, the pit of desire in his eyes prominent, but fading. "I love you Y/N."

"I love you too Stevie." I replied with a soft smile, turning my own body this time so I could curl up in his lap. I held a hand out for Bucky and he joined the three of us on the hard concrete of the pool deck. None of us seemed to care, wrapped up in each others' embrace.

I accepted the bond, a warmth starting at the tip of my toes, embracing my entire body, until it faded up until each tattoo. A searing heat lit up on both tattoos, before their names were etched inside of them.

"I'm sorry." Steve mumbled into my shoulder.

"Why?" I asked, trying to look at him, but he kept his face buried into the cloth of my shirt. Well, Tony's shirt.

"Because of Nat and Sharon." Steve sighed. "I thought. . . I don't know."

"I don't blame you for looking for comfort when I wasn't even here." I whispered, petting his hair. It was a soothing gesture and I was starting to realize why people liked petting animals. It was calming and relaxing. "Hell, I was a cat. Imagine if my father had never come here. Then he wouldn't have turned me back, I'd still be a cat right now."

Steve shivered. "I never thought I'd see the day where I was thankful Loki came along."

I frowned a little. "Was he really that bad? He was a bit mischievous when I was growing but he was never cruel or anything."

"He tried to take over Earth with aliens, using this tower as a calling beacon." Steve sighed. "A lot of people died. Of course, we can't put to much blame on him because he was being mind controlled, but at the same time. . ."

"Oh." I frowned. I was going to have to check in with him. I couldn't believe anyone could have gotten the better of him. My father was indestructible. Nothing could kill him, no one could capture him, and I couldn't think of a single person that could mind control of him for goodness sakes. "I'm sorry about that. I mean, that's an inadequate apology but-"

"Don't worry about it doll." Bucky whispered, kissing the back of my neck. Now that I had accepted them, he couldn't keep himself to himself. Not that I minded, I loved the affection. "If there's any two people in the world that could understand what Loki was going through it would be me and Stevie here."

I smiled, rolling myself over so that I was propped up on Bucky's stomach. "Well I'm glad you don't hate him."

Bucky kissed me again. "Do you want to go inside? I mean, I'm thinking you might want to introduce yourself to everyone again."

A sudden spike of fear went through me. "Pepper, will she still hate me?"

"I don't think she ever hated you." Steve said, "I think she was scared of you. There's a difference."

"Great, that makes me feel so much better." I muttered glumly.

"Don't worry doll, we're here for you." Bucky said.

I smiled at that and then got to my feet. With Bucky on my left and Steve on my right, I felt a little better about going into the tower to see everyone again.

I could hold my own of course. I was a formidable warrior. I had sparred with Sif of course. And I had a little bit of magic. But I only had one hundred or so years under my belt. I was no where close to my fathers skill level.

"So?" Sam was the first to approach us. Most everyone was still in the living room, talking.

"Hi Sammy." I said shyly, holding my arm awkwardly.

Sam grinned. "Well hey there Blizz." He held his arms out and I smiled brightly, hugging him back. I nearly purred when he enclosed me in a warm, perfect hug. Sam laughed, the vibrations shaking against me. "She still acts like a kitten too."

I blushed as I pulled away, retreating back to Bucky's side who was smirking just slightly.

"Well, this is a bit weird." Tony said, scratching the back of his head. He was probably recalling all the things he'd told me when I was a cat.

I padded over to him and wrapped my arms around him, trying to send him comfort. "Thank you for trusting me with all your feelings, even if you just thought I was a cat."

I could feel the hardness of the arc reactors against my forehead, but didn't move. I knew now that I couldn't actually dislodge it, that it was an unnecessary fear of Peppers.

"Welcome to the Avengers kid. Sorry you got stuck with the two old men but I guess since you're technically an old woman yourself you'll fit right in with them." Tony sighed, pulling back from the hug and giving me that familiar smirk.

I smiled back. "Old woman huh? But you just called me kid."

"Well, you look pretty young for an old woman." Tony said. "They have great health benefits on Asgard."

I laughed. Everyone felt so familiar and safe.

We all settled in talking as I settled myself down on Bucky's lap.

"Sorry, but what was your real name again?" Clint asked.

"Y/N." I replied. "But if you'd prefer to call me Blizz, I don't think I'd mind to much."

Bucky kissed my cheek.

"Alright, not in front of us Barnes." Tony grumbled.

"So what is the overall plan?" Sam asked, motioning to us.

"Well, my father went to talk to my grandparents." I answered thoughtfully. "Usually, us Asgardians can't mate with Midgardians, even if they're our soulmates because they die before us and it leaves us in forever heartbreak. However, since Buck and Steve are immortal, at least age wise, my father and uncle are going to advocate on my behalf. I think my Grandmother will convince my Grandfather to let me be with them. And if not, well that'll be a pain since I already accepted them. But my father isn't that good at following the rules so we'll definitely stay in contact regardless."

Suddenly, the doors to the living room opened and everyone glanced over. Pepper was standing there, her hair pulled back into an immaculate bun. She was dressed professionally as she looked at us, her eyes widening in surprise upon seeing me. However, she addressed Tony first.

"I thought Loki and Thor were coming over today. Fury said so."

"They did." Tony said. "And then Loki turned Blizzard into a human. Not just any human, but his daughter. And his daughter just happened to be soulmated to Capsicle and Terminator, so that's her right there. Y/N, Pepper. Pepper, Y/N, formerly known as Blizzard."

Pepper seemed stunned, "The cat?" She asked incredulously.

I quickly repeated the story of being taken off Asgard and having a spell put on me so I couldn't remember my former life and that I genuinely thought I was a kitten.

"And um. . ." I added awkwardly. "I am sorry about Tony and Morgan. I didn't understand about the arc reactor. And um when I ripped your dress on the gala, it was because Tony had kissed my head and I was trying to give you the kiss. I didn't understand as a cat."

Bucky's arms were tight around me and Steve's hand drifted up to rest on my thigh, his hand squeezing tightly.

"Oh." Pepper breathed out, colour coming to her cheeks and suddenly everyone seemed rather interested in the ceiling. "It's alright. I mean. . . I'm sorry for my outburst."

"No, really it's fine." I stumbled over my words in a rush to get them out. "I completely understand. I mean, if the positions were reversed I probably would've killed the cat so I appreciate you not doing that."

Everything was awkward for a moment and then Sam said. "Right, so what's for dinner?"

"Sour dough bread!" I perked right up. "And chocolate. And. . ." I looked at Tony and Steve, "What else was I not allowed to have as a kitten?"

"Pancakes with syrup and Oreos." Sam said with a grin.

"Yes, all of that." I replied with a matching grin.

"Alright doll." Bucky said, lifting me up and slinging me over his shoulder. "Steve and I'll cook."

I giggled as Bucky carried me to the kitchen and he put a variety of foods together. It was a nice family night and for once, I could be a part of it.

Chapter 18

Warnings: None (anyone can read this story)

𝓐𝓕𝓣𝓔𝓡 I came back home from the park, Pepper did lighten up some of my restrictions. However, I always had to be accompanied by either Steve, Bucky, Sam, or someone else that was very close in the Avengers.

Which left Steve, Bucky, and just Sam at this point. I still hadn't seen Tony.

But a few weeks later, I was eating up on the kitchen table in the community room- a daily occurrence that Pepper no longer partook in- when the elevator door opened down the hallway.

I was perplexed, as everyone was already there and Pepper was not coming. Bruce sat down at one end, talking to Nat- whose back was to Clint who was chatting with Scott and Sam. Steve and Bucky were talking quietly amongst each other, sometimes Road chiming in.

That was when Tony entered the room, looking both disgruntled, and much better than the last time that I had seen him.

He came over to the other end of the table, sitting right next to Steve so that he could reach out and pet me.

I flattened myself against the table as he petted me, unwilling to move a muscle, lest I lose control and hurt him.

"Is she okay?" Tony asked, startling Steve a little. Bucky picked me up in his hands, getting up from the table to walk around and sit on Tony's other side.

"She's just afraid of hurting you." Bucky said gently, putting me down on the table right in front of Tony. "You're not going to hurt him Blizz, I promise. He got a new arc reactor that you won't be able to budge even if you jumped on it. You can let him hold you and stuff now. Remember? I said don't listen to anything Pepper said."

Tony's face was even more angry than before. "What did Pepper say to her?"

I let his hands pick me up, though I was very careful with my paw placement as he held me against his chest. Well, more his shoulder. He rubbed his cheek gently against the top of my head. "I missed you." He mumbled.

"Just that she could've killed you if she messed with the arc reactor anymore." Clint said with a shrug.

I let out a small whine, wiggling against Tony's shoulder. Tony just held me there tighter.

"Don't listen to Pepper on that Blizz." Tony whispered softly in my ear. "You wouldn't have done a damn thing messing with my arc reactor. It was dislodged from something else. Not you. Promise."

That did make me feel a little better and I curled up warmly against his shoulder.

"Where's Pepper this morning?" Bucky asked.

"She had to leave again to take care of some Stark Industries meetings in California." Tony said comfortably. "She took Morgan with her as well and Hope is going to watch over her out there."

"Oh that's good. How long is she going to be there?" Bruce asked, joining the conversation.

"Not to long, make a week or two." Tony said with a shrug. "Depends on the meetings and stuff. Thank God I don't have to worry about that stuff anymore."

Road smirked, "Like you ever worried about it in the first place."

I fell asleep against Tony's shoulder, feeling warm and loved.

❆❆❆

"𝓨𝓞𝓤'𝓡𝓔 kidding." Tony's voice snarled through the room.

I was curled up in Bucky's arms, terrified. Eyepatch man was back, sitting comfortably in a chair at the front of the room. Bucky stood at the complete opposite side of the room, close to the door, his hold on me tight.

"I am not kidding Stark. Thor says that he will keep an eye-"

"How is Thor supposed to keep Loki in check when he's never been able to do it before?" Steve asked.

"I really don't think Loki should live in this tower." Bruce said. "He did try to use it as an alien calling beacon once before."

"I really don't feel like pissing off some royal space Gods." eyepatch snapped. "So you're going to host Loki and Thor is going to keep an eye on him. That's final."

"Good, are you leaving now?" Bucky snapped.

Eyepatch sighed. "I'm not here for the cat. But you really should keep an eye on her. I already heard from Mrs. Stark about her trying to kill Morgan."

"She didn't try to kill Morgan!" Bucky and Tony snapped together.

Eyepatch put his hands up in surrender. "Needless, you can keep her. For the time being."

Steve crossed his arms across his chest and the others started to file out of the room. Bucky was out of there very quickly, heading to the kitchen which was my favorite room in the house.

"I can't believe Thor is bringing Loki here." Bruce muttered, pulling out several ingredients to make a sandwich. Bucky pulled out a container of lovely chicken, putting a few tiny pieces on a plate for me and giving it to me.

"He's lost his mind." Nat agreed, pouring herself another mug of bitter smelling black liquid.

"I'm going to have let Laura know that I can't come back yet." Clint muttered, pulling out his phone.

"Clint-" Roads started to say in a warning tone, but Nat was already storming out of the room. She slammed the cup down on the table as she passed by, which shattered and I leapt backwards as the liquid quickly started its war path across the table.

I meowed in distress as my chicken strips were tainted in the liquid and batted my paw at the plate.

"Sorry Blizz." Sam said with a slight laugh, picking me up and putting me on the counter before grabbing me a fresh plate of chicken and some goat milk to go with it.

"Really Clint?" Steve sighed, grabbing several paper towels to clean up the mess. "Couldn't keep that little thought to yourself, could you?"

"Sorry." Clint muttered as he finished typing something out on the phone. "It's not like I try to piss her off."

"She's your soulmate and you're with another woman." Sam said, his rare serious side coming out at the moment. "You know she's still really sensitive about it, especially as you rejected the bond."

Clint just turned away, helping Steve clean up the shards before leaving the room.

"Great so now I've got to prepare for two Gods arrivals and make sure not to put triple agent and birdbrain on the same team for about four months." Tony muttered, making notes on a sheet of paper which he tucked into his pack pocket.

"I think Thor still has his room." Road said.

"Yeah, but unless we're keeping Loki in a cell, he doesn't." Tony sighed.

"He can bunk with Thor." Bucky said with a shrug.

"That will just piss him off." Bruce said, sighing as well. "I'm going down to the lab."

"Well, I'm going to take Blizzard to the pool. C'mon." Bucky said, coming over to me. I leapt up onto his shoulder.

"The pool?" Sam, Scott, and Road all questioned at the same time.

"Oh yeah, she loves the water." Bucky said with a grin. "See you guys later."

We went back up to his room and he changed into some strange material pants and nothing else. He had very large lines on his chest that made squares and they looked very strange. I wondered how he'd gotten those lines imprinted on his chest.

I wondered what I would look like with tiny little lines on my chest.

Bucky and I went outdoors to the pool. There were actually several of them. There was one, large deep pool that most of the others swam in. Then there was a rectangular pool above ground that was called a Jacoozi or Jascusi or Jascooshi or something like that. Apparently it was much warmer than normal and had lots of jets trailing out of it, making the water froth.

Then there was the kitten pool. Or maybe it was the kiddie pool. . . not it must definitely be the kitten pool. I went there after all.

Once Bucky put me down, I padded over to the water and climbed in. It wasn't very deep. On a toddler, it was only up to their ankles. However, as I was about the height of a toddler's ankle, I was standing up to my chin in water.

I flounced around, enjoying the feeling of not to cold water on my fur while Bucky laid down in the water. He had sunglasses on so I wasn't sure if he had his eyes closed or open. Steve lounged on a long plastic chair, a book in his hand. Sam, Tony, Clint, Scott, and Road were in the other pool, playing some sort of game with a ball.

"Oi, Terminator! Capsicle! Come and join us to get the right numbers." Tony shouted over to the two of them.

Bucky sat up in the water, looking at them, before getting to his feet and leaping into the other pool. I padded out of the kitten pool, shaking my fur, before padding over to the edge of the deep pool.

I watched as they passed a rather large ball around. It was multicoloured, and it also seemed rather. . . floaty? It seemed like a ball that could easily get carried away on the wind- so it was a good thing there was none today.

I laid out flat as a pancake, letting the hot summer sun dry my fur up until I myself started to bake. Only then did I get to my feet, padding around to the other side of the pool.

They had long since abandoned the ball, moving on to some other game with one of them idiotically wandering around the pool with their eyes closed saying "Marco!" And the others responded with "Polo."

I batted at the ball, which bobbed up and down in the water. It seemed like a very thin ball, like a claw could pop it. It started to float out towards the open sea and I batted it, trying to get it to come back to me.

I yowled in frustration as the ball just darted out of reach and then yowled in panic as I overstepped, falling into the water.

I kicked back up to the surface, yacking nasty chemical water out of my mouth. Two hands were very quick in saving me. Tony put me back up on surface and then grabbed the ball, putting it on the concrete. "Careful Blizzard."

I mewed, shaking my fur. The ball was at least triple my height, and I tried to leap on top of it. Unfortunately, it was slippery and I fell back to the concrete with a frustrated hiss. I raised my claw and attempted to pop it, but it just skittered across the concrete and back into the pool. I hissed at it. Stupid mean ball.

I surveyed the water that the men were playing in again, padding around to the other side where the stairs were. The first stair was about as deep as the kitten pool, but the others were much farther underwater.

I cried out in distress, wanting to be with Bucky and the others, but not knowing how to get to them.

I leapt, flopping into the water, paddling over to Sam. He glanced down in surprise, before scooping me up in his hand. "What are you doing out here Blizz?"

"Think she wants to join?" Clint asked.

"Here." Road said, grabbing a strange pink thing. Sam placed me inside.

I floated on the water, my paws on the outside of the rubber plastic floating device. It had a bottom, so that I didn't have to hold on for dear life, but there were also a few holes so I could play in a little water if I wanted to.

I floated around the pool, getting wet pets from everyone and by the time they all climbed out of the pool to go back inside and call it a day, I was exhausted.

"Come on Blizzard, let's go get some food." Bucky said, picking me up out of the inflatable.

I meowed in agreement and I fell asleep as he carried me inside.
