Dinner
They pulled up to the small, ragged apartment building
Solas Stark
"I guess I won't be needing this place anymore, huh?"
Yelena Belova
"Nope. Not really. It looks like a shit hole anyways compared to the room we put you in."
Solas Stark
"Don't diss it that hard. I haven't gone into my room yet but it can't possibly be that much better than my cozy little apartment."
Yelena Belova
"You'd be surprised."
They got out of Yelena's hummer
Yelena was the only person that ever drove the hummer but she loved it
Going into the apartment it was completely cluttered and entirely too small for any normal person to live in. It had a tiny kitchenette in the corner, and barely enough space for the bed and a TV, alongside a bathroom the size of a small walk in closet.
Yelena Belova
"Oh yeah. So much better than your room!
Solas Stark
"Yelena zip it. I've called it home since my escape. It's better than chains and never ending walls."
Yelena Belova
"You do have a point. Grab what you need. Plenty of space in the truck for extra stuff."
Solas got to work packing all her clothes into a large suitcase and brought it down to the hummer, coming back up
Solas Stark
"Two more things, and we can go."
Yelena Belova
"Take your time. No rush."
She walked over to the nightstand, picking up a small picture frame and a small plant beside it
Yelena Belova
"What's with the picture?"
Solas Stark
"I had a friend back in Hydra. I called him Jamie. We convinced one of the guys in that rotten place to let us take a picture together and print it for both of us."
Yelena Belova
"Is Jamie still back there?"
Solas Stark
"No. He escaped years ago."
Yelena Belova
"Didn't come back for you?"
Yelena Belova
"I- I'm sorry Solas."
Yelena nodded and headed out the door, Solas close behind
Solas Stark
"I'll call my landlord and tell him I'm moving tomorrow. I don't want to worry about it today."
Yelena started the truck and started driving back to the compound
Yelena Belova
"Why did they chose you? What's so special besides super strength? We've got plenty of super strengths."
Solas Stark
"Well choose your pick. Titanium arm, telekinesis, blood manipulation, super speed, or super strength. Any part could've been it."
Yelena Belova
"Tit- Titanium arm you said?"
Yelena Belova
"Winter Soldier 2.0... Titanium arm...f^ck."
Solas Stark
"What's wrong?"
Yelena Belova
"Show me that picture."
Solas hesitantly showed her the photo
Yelena Belova
"That's Bucky..."
Yelena Belova
"James Buckanan Barnes. Bucky Barnes."
Solas Stark
"You know him? Where is he?! Can I see him?! Please?"
Yelena Belova
"You've already met him."
Solas Stark
"But I didn't see my Jamie."
Yelena Belova
"He's different now."
Yelena rolled down her window and scanned her card, pulling into the garage and going inside
Solas Stark
"Yelena, what do you mean different? Where is he?"
Solas was rolling her suitcase behind her while Yelena carried her plant and photo
Yelena Belova
"He went through a lot of therapy and he's a completely different person now."
Solas Stark
"Can I still see him?"
Yelena opened Solas's bedroom door, letting her go in first, and then setting the plant down on the dresser alongside the plant
Yelena Belova
"If you insist, but unpack your clothes first."
Yelena left, closing the door softly behind her
A few minutes after Solas finished putting her clothes in the closet and dresser Bruce knocked on the door
Bruce Banner
"Can I come in?"
Bruce came inside, Tony and Pepper close behind
Bruce Banner
Solas... meet your parents."
Solas couldn't help but laugh hesitantly
Tony Stark
"He's being serious... you're our daughter."
Pepper Potts
"Hello darling. God you don't know how many years we searched for you. Can I hug you?"
Solas Stark
"Yes, you can."
As Pepper wrapped her arms tightly around Solas, she signaled Tony with her hand and Tony joined in on the hug too
Solas began to cry as well
Solas Stark
"I never thought I would ever find you guys."
Solas Stark
"I thought Hydra killed my parents."
Tony Stark
"We're right here... and we're never going to let anyone take you from us again."
They all pulled away and Solas looked at Bruce
Solas Stark
"Thank you Bruce. Hug?"
Bruce opened his arms and Solas planted herself into his chest
Solas Stark
"Thank you so much."
Solas pulled away and smiled at Bruce
Tony Stark
"We have to go get ready for dinner. I'll see you there, daughter."
Solas Stark
"See you there Tony."
Pepper patted Solas's shoulder before wiping a tear and leaving the room
Solas Stark
💭"Well it turns out I do have parents..."
There was another knock at the door
Yelena Belova
"Solas! You wanted to talk to your friend, come on!"
Solas perked up and ran towards the door
Solas Stark
"Where is he?"
Yelena knocked on Steve's door
Bucky Barnes
"Sh!t... she didn't even recognize me man.. given I didn't either." Bucky whispered
Steve Rogers
"It's going to be fine." Steve whispered
Steve Rogers
"Come in Yelena!"
Yelena and Solas entered the room, Bucky and Solas's eyes immediately locking
Bucky Barnes
"It's really you...I thought I was hallucinating! It's been 7 years and you haven't changed a bit.."
Solas Stark
"It's been 7 years and you're a completely different person!"
Solas Stark
"Jamie I can't believe it's you!"
Solas lunged at Bucky, wrapping her arms around him
Bucky Barnes
"Ow! What the hell? You got a gun on your wrist or something?"
Solas Stark
"Natasha said not to let you know about this but it's not a gun. It's an arm..."
Solas looked back at Yelena for approval and she nodded
Solas took her jacket and gloves off, revealing her arm
Bucky Barnes
"It's exactly like mine.."
Solas Stark
"You were the original Winter Soldier, weren't you?
Solas Stark
"I'm the Winter Soldier 2.0"
Bucky Barnes
"Well, that's our past, we have to find you a better name."
Solas Stark
"It's fine. I'm sorry I didn't find you… I had to lie low. You know how Hydra is."
Bucky Barnes
"Indeed and I'm not upset. I should have tried to get you out!"
Solas Stark
"I knew you couldn't. I'm glad you didn't. You could have gotten hurt."
Bucky Barnes
"Would you like to sit next to me for dinner?"
Solas Stark
"Yea, that'd be great. It's so good to see you and it's even better that I'll be seeing you regularly."
Bucky Barnes
"Correction, daily. I don't have a battle partner, y'know...
Steve Rogers
"What am I?! Chop liver?!
Bucky Barnes
"You have Sam!"
Sam Wilson
"Are we really bringing me into this?"
Sam had come in to find his phone as they said this and then left as soon as he grabbed it
Bucky Barnes
"Yes we are Sam!"
Steve Rogers
"Fine. She can be our battle buddy too. If she proves worthy."
Solas Stark
"No problem. Wanna fight?"
Steve Rogers
"That was a little too much pride. Buck if anyone's getting their @ss beat it's you."
Bucky Barnes
"Alright, after dinner."
Solas Stark
"It's set then. I'm gonna go get changed."
Solas and Yelena left the room and went to Yelenas'
Yelena Belova
"You're borrowing this dress whether you like it or not. I have never seen Bucky look at anyone like that."
Solas Stark
"Don't even. We're just friends."
Wanda Maximoff
"Not for long" Wanda chimed in
Solas Stark
"You two will be the death of me."
Yelena handed Las the dress and she put it on in the bathroom
She stepped out in this dress
Wanda Maximoff
"Oh my goodness! You look amazing!"
Solas Stark
"I'm uncomfortable."
Yelena Belova
"Don't wear dresses often?"
Wanda Maximoff
"First time for everything."
Sharon Carter
"Dinner is in 10 minutes ladies."
Wanda Maximoff
"We'll be down in a couple."
Solas Stark
"I feel so stupid."
Natasha Romanoff
"Sh^t up. You look great."
Yelena Belova
"Fiesty much?"
Natasha Romanoff
"Don't even you tried to kill me!"
Yelena Belova
"You had a gun to my head!"
Natasha Romanoff
"I didn't know if I could trust you or not!"
Yelena Belova
"I'm your sister!"
Natasha Romanoff
"That I hadn't seen in many years!"
Yelena and Nat simultaneously said "What?!"
Wanda Maximoff
"Let's not scare off our new woman. How many women do we really have on the team?"
Wanda Maximoff
"Point in case. Let's go downstairs."
All 4 of them came out to the dining room, Wanda sitting down beside Vision, Natasha and Yelena sitting beside eachother, and Solas hesitantly sitting beside Bucky
Bucky Barnes
"You look marvelous."
Solas Stark
"You look pretty good too for jeans a t-shirt."
Bucky Barnes
"I don't typically attend the dinners."
Solas Stark
"First one." Solas joked
Nick Fury
"Alright everyone. Hush up."
Nick Fury
"As most of us know, we have a new Avenger. She is... actually I don't know who she is. Solas, would you introduce yourself please?"
Solas stood up, pulling her dress down
Solas Stark
"Hello, I am Solas Stark. I am the Winter Soldier 2.0. I hope that I can be of use to the team."
Nick Fury
"Thank you, Solas."
Nick Fury
"Now could I get everyone to introduce themselves to her please?"
Loki Laufeyson
"Loki, God of Mischief."
Clint Barton
"Clint Barton, Hawkeye."
Peter Parker
"Peter Parker, Spiderman."
Stephen Strange
"Stephen Strange, Dr. Strange."
Thor Odinson
"Thor Odinson, God of Thunder."
Sharon Carter
"Sharon Carter, Agent 13."
Sam Wilson
"Sam Wilson, Falcon."
Pepper Potts
"Your mother."
Everyone paused for a minute as Pepper smiled
Yelena Belova
"Yelena Belova, Assassin."
Bruce Banner
"Bruce Banner, The Hulk."
Wanda Maximoff
"Wanda Maximoff, Scarlet Witch."
Natasha Romanoff
"Natasha Romanoff, Assassin."
Steve Rogers
"Steve Rogers, Captain America."
Tony Stark
"Your father." Tony smiled warmly
Bucky Barnes
"Bucky Barnes, The Winter Soldier."
Solas Stark
"It's very nice to meet you all."
Nick Fury
"Thank you everyone. You know the drill. Be nice to the newcomer. Help her find anything and get her started on her training asap."
Everyone mumbled in response
Stephen Strange
"Can we eat now Fury? We got it."
Nick Fury
"Yes, carry on."
T'Challa laughed as Nick sat down and everyone started getting their food
Solas grabbed a roll and a little corn
Bucky Barnes
"Not hungry? You've been here all day."
Solas Stark
"I don't eat much."
Bucky Barnes
"You should. You're so skinny."
Solas Stark
"You're just jealous I'm more muscular than you." Las teased
Bucky Barnes
"Ouch." Bucky laughed
Solas Stark
"I missed you. I never thought I'd see you again."
Bucky Barnes
"Me neither doll."
Steve's head turned in Bucky's direction
Steve Rogers
💭"You don't call women doll... and that look you have when you're with her. What is going on here Bucky?"
Wanda Maximoff
"Rogers mind your business. Let it flourish."
Steve Rogers
"Stop reading everyone's mind!" Steve hissed
Wanda Maximoff
"I'm good."
Everyone continued eating and conversing between eachother and eventually everyone cleaned up the table and most went out to the main room to celebrate
Bucky Barnes
"Would you like a drink?"
Bucky Barnes
"Only in my room."
Solas Stark
"Then let's go."
Bucky Barnes
"But what about everyone else?"
Solas Stark
"Eh, they can talk to me tomorrow."
Bucky laughed and they both went upstairs to Bucky's room
Solas Stark
"Darn I really thought your room would be messy."
Bucky Barnes
"Nope. It's always clean."
Solas Stark
"Good. Nobody likes a messy man. You still single?"
Bucky turned towards the cabinet and poured them both a glass of rum
Bucky Barnes
"I have someone in mind but they'll never go anywhere."
Solas Stark
"What so you're just gonna stay single forever?"
Bucky Barnes
"If I can't have them, then yeah."
Solas Stark
"Well who is it?"
Bucky Barnes
"Don't worry about that."
Solas Stark
"I won't tell."
Bucky Barnes
"How did you never age?"
Solas Stark
"They gave me the super serum when I was 6 and it made me fully mature."
Bucky Barnes
"We're just disregarding that?"
Solas Stark
"Yup. Who is it?"
