❝ it's a really bad infection ❞

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰

IT HAD been about two weeks after the battle, and everyone was trying to get their lives back on track. Nova didn't have much to do other than head back to the future in a couple of days. But obviously she's a woman of her word.

The Avengers compound was destroyed, but Tony was already starting the rebuilding. The rest of team were staying at the Stark Tower for the time being, and so was Nova. Which leads to now where Natasha, Wanda and her were sitting together and pampering each other in the former's room.

"You know, you should totally bring us to Ivazar," Natasha said as she painted Wanda's nails. "Sure," Nova smiled, "put that on the list."

"I have a question and demand answers," Wanda said with narrowed eyes and a smirk on her face. Both girls looked to her in question, before the Russian caught onto her plan.

Nova looked between the pair who were now smirking as Wanda placed her hand into the machine to dry her nails. "You and Barnes?" the Maximoff girl tilted her head with a teasing grin.

Her eyes widened and she felt heat rush to her cheeks; no doubt she was red as a tomato now. Clearing her throat awkwardly, she adverted her gaze away from the girls while brushing her newly straightened hair that Natasha did. "Don't know what you mean."

"Oh c'mon!" Natasha groaned. "The way you two look at each other is ridiculously gross. Like adorably gross. There's no way there's nothing there," she poked Nova's side and wiggled her brows.

"And you're blushing," Wanda added with a smirk. "And she's blushing!" Natasha pointed to the girl in agreement.

Nova buried her face in her hands, letting out a muffled groan though she wasn't entirely annoyed. They were right, maybe there was something there. And now with how things had changed, there were chances for it to grow and evolve. She was sure Bucky hated her when they first met and were trying to stop those super soldiers who were in over their heads, but then he showed her otherwise.

"I don't know," she muttered, looking up from her hands. "Maybe? There is... something... on my end? I don't know, I'm confused!" she groaned, falling on her back onto Natasha's bed.

Natasha and Wanda shared a look, looking down at their new friend who was staring at the ceiling and deep in thought. Wanda checked to see her nails dry, before getting up and plopping down on her side next to the brunette, Natasha doing the same on the other side.

"I think you have a condition," Wanda whispered with humor in her tone as she went to run her fingers through Nova's long brown hair. "It's a really bad infection. Called love."

Nova snorted, her hand flying to cover her mouth before the girls burst into fits of giggles. It took several minutes for the trio to calm down, even then they had wide grins on their faces.

"You certainly have a way with words, Maximoff," Nova nudged the girl who laughed.

"But about Bucky..." her voice faded as she stared at the ceiling, toying with the ends of her hair as she racked her brain for what to say. "I don't know. Neither of us have ever really took the step forward, but it's true— that we're obviously not just friends. That's impossible and I think we both know that. But so much has happened and we haven't really had time to properly address it, or do anything. So I have no clue what to do," she shrugged.

"Well," Wanda started, having laid on her back halfway through the rant and was now staring at the ceiling as well. "You could always make the first move. Ask him out? Or just tell him?"

"Just straight bang him," Natasha deadpanned, earning a smack from Nova which caught her off guard to the point she rolled right off the bed with a loud thud and yelp.

Nova slapped a hand over her mouth as both her and Wanda got on their knees and peeked over the bed. "Are you okay?" Wanda let out a laugh.

"Oh, you're both getting it now," the Russian jumped to her feet and grabbed a pillow, initiating a pillow fight.

Squeals and loud laughs were heard throughout the floor as the girls destroyed the pillows. The team who happened to be in the lounge down the hall heard the commotion, and their minds automatically went to the worst case scenario. But when they ran and burst the door open to find feathers flying around the room and Nova desperately pushing past Tony to escape Natasha, their tense and concerned exteriors melted.

"Get back here!" Natasha yelled, a new pillow in hand as she chased Nova down the hall.

"What in the world are they up to?" Rhodey questioned as they followed the girls into the lounge. There, Nova has grabbed an entire cushion and fought Natasha with it.

"Well, I only see one way to settle this," Sam grinned and clasped his hands together before swiftly grabbing a pillow and joining in with Wanda.

Soon enough, the entire team were tangled in a pillow fight, no one questioning how they got there in the first place.
