A/N: This is gonna be a fast paced story about Bucky and a girl who joins the Avengers team. Will warn when the 'm' rating comes into play ;)

There has been an extra three people staying in the Avengers tower for just over a week. And already tensions had exploded between Tony and the only male of the new trio. "I just don't see why you think you can order us about!" He yelled.

"Oh the answer for that is very simple Mr Bishop." Tony said sarcastically as he poured himself a glass of whiskey. "Nick Fury can't decide if he trusts you and your boss yet, and quite frankly neither can we."

"Oh that's charming that is." One of the girls muttered as she was reading her magazine on the couch. "We save your lives and this is the thanks we get. Have you treated anyone who's saved your life like this Jordon?" She asked her teammate in a patronising tone.

"Why no Christie I haven't." He rebutted equalling her frustration. "As a matter of fact-"

"Oh leave it Jordon, you too Christie." The final girl stood up from the breakfast bar where she was attempting to eat something. "We don't trust each other at this point and that's fine," She turned to Tony. "We don't know your motivations at this point and that's what's frustrating. Don't expect us to hang off your every word Mr Stark."

She went back to her plate where as usual she barely touched any of her lunch. "Look at it from our perspective too Paige." Steve stepped in as the voice of reason. "Last week we thought you were working against us and for HYDRA or lord knows who."

"He's right." Natasha chimed in. "It was only once Nick recognised your boss that he noticed something was up."

"Something's gotta give though." Christie threw her hands up slightly in frustration. "You've all been enemies at one point, yet here you stand as allies again."

They all looked at one another; with the events of last year it was true that the team was split down the middle. Especially with Bucky and Tony, though both had seemed to put their differences aside. "She's right." Sam agreed. "Find some middle ground then work from there."

They nodded and Sam, Tony, and Jordon left the room to talk more. There was a comfortable silence as Steve and Bucky were sat on the sofa near Christie, but Natasha was frowning at Paige as all she was doing was pushing her food round her plate. "Paige you've barely touched your food." She commented and Christie's cat ears twitched. "And I'll bet you didn't eat breakfast."

Paige nervously shifted her fossil grey eyes to the amber cat eyes of her friend. "I did I swear."

Her cat tail twitched. "You promised me you'd eat."

"This just doesn't…" She pushed the plate away from her. "I tried okay?"

"How about I cook you some eggs?" Bucky suggested. She raised her eyebrow at her. "Tony does a lot of overly fancy stuff cooked by professionals. Maybe you'd want something simpler?"

"Good idea Buck." Steve commented. "Bucky does really good food."

"If it gets her eating." Christie shooed him to the kitchen.

Steve and Christie began chatting as Bucky began chopping up some peppers and other vegetables. "You alright?" Bucky asked as Paige emptied the full plate into the bin.

"It's hard to explain…" She tried to avoid the question but his eyes locking onto her pushed her to continue. "I was locked away for a long time over a long period of time."

"I know how you feel," He agreed as hissing was heard from the stove. "Food from when me and Steve was growing up is so different to now. I'm still getting used to it if I'm honest."

He placed the plate of toast and an omelette in front of her. It didn't look anything special but she took a mouthful in any case. "This is good." He smiled at her as he watched her tentatively eat the meal. He didn't realise he didn't look away until she made another sound. "What is it?" She felt self-conscious as he continued to look at her.

He shook himself out of it. "Sorry I just…" He stood up and regained his confident posture. "Got lost in those gorgeous eyes of yours." He winked.

She playfully rolled her eyes. "Oh please those lines may have worked during your time but nowadays even I know those are cheesy."

He smirked at her and leaned across the counter. "You were around then too you know," His voice was low and sounded slightly husky. "You're trying to tell me none of those worked on you then?"

Her smile fell slightly. "I didn't have time for that back then."

He noticed her sadness and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "Better make up for lost time then."
