Scars to your beautiful

Chapter V

It's been over 24 hours since i have last seen or heard from Tony. What if he thinks I'm a threat to have around? Does he want to kick me out? My anxiety was raging. Thank God for Wanda being in Europe with Vision. Had she been here she would have read all my thoughts like an open book.

Natasha, Steve and Clint had left this morning for a mission. Peter insisted on teaching me poker. He said that i had the perfect poker face not giving away a single emotion. I liked the boy, his innocence. The way he called me Ms. Anna or Ms. Taskmaster cracked me up. He was like a little brother to me.

I sat with Peter in the common area watching one of favourite movies. I don't if it was Star Wars or Trek, I can't tell the difference.
"Do you want something to eat Peter?"
"umm yeah sure maybe some chips?" Peter said not looking away from the screen.

I walked over to kitchen pantry and grabbed 2 bags of chips. On my way back to common area Sam and Bucky got out of the elevator. "Heyy where have you guys been?" I asked walking with them to the common area.
"Just running some errands with grandpa" Sam laughed smacking Bucky's back. Bucky and I exchanged smiles before i walked over to Peter giving him his snacks.
"Can't you get your own snack insect boy?" Sam snapped at Peter. "I can but she asked! I'm so sorry Ms. Anna"
"Just Anna please and its okay Sam i dont mind."
Sam and Peter continued to bicker for a while.
It was considerably warm day, meaning my scars itching like hell. I tried to rub them over my hoodie. I was burning up, Iwanted nothing more than to lie down in an ice bath.

"Hey do you want to get out of here?" Bucky asked seeing my clear discomfort. I nodded and followed him to the elevator.

"They still hurt font they?" He asked breaking the silence.
"Yeah it itches when i get hot." i replied softly look down at my feet avoiding eye contact.
"You dont have to cover up you know."
I nodded as Bucky walked out of elevator towards my room. I followed him into my room.

"Ill be right back" He said closing the door behind him. I walked over the bathroom tp grab a hand towel and wet it cold water. I raised my hoodie my chest and rubbed the wet cloth across my across the scars.

I heard a knock on the bathroom door, making me quickly pull down my hoodie.
"Doll you in there?" Bucky asked knocking again. I open the door to see Bucky with a big tube in his hands.
"Sit down" He said leading me to the bed. He kneeled on the floor in front of me.
"I found this moisturizer in Nat's room. It might help with the itching." He placed the moisturizer besides me and placed his hands on the hem of my hoodie. "May I?"
I went blank at the question. He was asking for My permission. My opinion. My consent. I nodded yes.
He pulled the hoofie over my head leaving me in a bra and tights. He squirted some moisturizer in his hand and rubbed his hands together. He placed he near my arm anf looked at me asking for permission again. I nodded.

He rubbed the moisturizer into my arm working his way to my neck. My breathing quickened at his touch. As he applied the moisturizer  on my cheek he smiled making me blush a hot crimson.

He continued to the same on my waist and back. "Does the leg itch too?" he asked finishing up my back. I nodded. "I can step out if you want to change into shorts or something" He said clearly blushing.
"no its okay" i said standing up. okay wow where is this confidence coming from!?. i pulled down my tights and tossed them aside. Bucky took my scarred leg and placed it on his shoulder moving closer between my legs. He worked his way up making me grip the edge of my mattress.
"All done." Bucky smiled placing my leg down again. 
"Thank you Bucky" I said as I pulled him into a hug. As we pulled away Bhvky held my face in his hands staring into my eyes.

Out of nowhere, Natasha peaked into my room."Hey you coming....I AM SO SORRY" and slammed the door shut; making me and Buvky jump up.
"i should go." Bucky said as he quickly exited my room. What the hell just happened! I quickly pulled on a loose full sleeves t shirt and a pair of joggers.

As I walked over to the Kitchen i overheard Sam laughing "You did not wait to long to make a move did you grandpa!"
"Hey piss off it wasn't like that. We didn't fo anything. I haven't even kissed her."
"Yet" Steve teased. I walked into the kitched and all eyes darted at me. " He wad just helping me" I quickly defended both of us before anyone could ask anything. I walked over to Natasha and handed her moisturizer.

Everyone continued to tease Bucky saying he had a crush on me. He just smiled at me making me blush. We took our plates to the dinning table as Tony walked in. A wave of anxiety toom over me. I tried hard to avoid eye contact throughout the rest of dinner. The team continued to talk about missions and stuff.
As i picked up my plate to leave Tony called out "Anna i was hoping we could talk. How about you coming to my lab later?"
I felt a pit in my stomach and stood there motionless staring at Tony.
