A Rolling Stream |☆|》Stark X Barnes

5 months later...

I was in the lab adding the final touches to the wrist band I made to hold my suit in.

Over the past 5 months alot has happen. Pepper, dad, Morgan, and I have grown closer. Pepper was awesome and a great step mom and mother. I loved her as if she was my own. Morgan was shy but we really got along well.

The press and almost everyone knew I was Tony Stark's daughter. Now for the avengers, I have been asked to officially join their team and I gratefully accepted. I would do robberies, hostage situations and sometimes back up because in dad's words "It was dangerous to come on other ones."

I also have been improving in all of my fields. Everything wasn't all rainbows and sunshine.

I was trying to avoid Bucky to cut out the awkwardness for both of us and to try and get rid of my feelings. The only thing was that I didn't like him. I loved him with every cell in my body but was too afraid to build on it.

Wanda, Nat and Pepper were constantly trying to push me to him but I dodged it. To top it all off, the nightmares came more frequently and were worse than before.

I refuse to speak about the trauma with anyone or even tell them about the nightmares. Panic attacks came once in a while but my group would try to calm me and it helped.

The area has been quiet ever since Scott, Clint, Thor and Bruce have all been off the radar.

There was a knock on my door. I lifted my head from the finished object and saw that it was Pietro.

I laid the finished bracket onto the table and turned back to him who was snacking on taffy that I had in my lab. I shook my head and laughed as I approached him. "Another mission?" "Yep."

We then entered the meeting room to see the Bucky, Nat and Steve in there and Fury. "You're earlier than ever Stark." He sarcastically stated. "My bad." I muttered with the same amount of sarcasm causing Piet to snicker quietly as we each took a seat.

Fury began the meeting and I focused but could feel someone stealing quick glances at me. I brushed it off and focused.

Basically it was a hostage situation and drug operation on sea.

The meeting soon ended and we were told to suit up and meet in the next 10 minutes at the hangar. "Lynnie can we talk?" Dad called out over the speakers before Piet and I left the room. "Sure. Piet ask JARVIS for experiment- PM thats the prototype I've been working on."

I remained in the room and waited for him to come. "You know what I want to know so answer my question and don't play ok?" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"And that is?" "Are you and Maximoff dating?" "What?" I asked almost laughing. "Dad no. No. Piet doesn't see me like that and vice versa."

"Jarvis check if she's lying." "No Mr. Stark. Her vitals haven't spiked once during your conversation." "I guess I'll have to believe you but if I even so as see any romantic gestures I will kill him myself. "

"I hear you." I stated raising my hands in surrender before exiting the room and heading to the lab.

Piet was holding the new shoes I specifically built for him since he ran threw his previous pairs. The fabric was as strong as vibranium but light weight so he could run faster and for longer periods.

"Does it fit?" "Perfectly Madelynn." "Thats awesome." I picked up my watch and did a few things to incorporate back the suit back into the watch with a press of a button.

I placed the wrist band on my hand and scanned through it to make sure everything was ok with the suit. I checked my timer to see 10 minutes was up.

Piet faced me and I nodded. He held my hand and we dashed to the hangar in a streak of blue, once there we parted hands. Bucky looked at us and rolled his eyes as he entered the Quinjet.

On the plane, I sat next to Nat as we tried to focus on the task at hand. The flight was quiet and felt longer than it should be.
