RUMORS

RUMORS

Sebastian sighed loudly. Again. Someone made some comment about him seen with a woman. Again. They assumed that she was his secret girlfriend.

Sebastian stared at the picture. It was him and Y/N. Both standing together in front of a popular restaurant, laughing about something.

“Who is that?” Someone asked.

He looked up from his phone. Jessica Chastain was peeping over his shoulders looking at the image in his phone.

“A friend.” He replied.

“She doesn’t look like a friend. She looks like ‘the’ friend.” She told him, sitting by the chair next to him.

Sebastian rolled his eyes. Great! Now his co-stars too were talking.

“Man! I didn’t mean to upset you.” Jessica said seeing his frowning face.

“I am not upset. It’s just people need to stop spreading rumors. She is my best friend.”

“She can be more.”

Sebastian gave her a blank stare.

“Look. I understand this. I know these are just rumors. I just think that you both look great together.”

Sebastian blushed. He muttered an embarrassed ‘thank you’ and turned his attention back to the picture on his mobile screen.

-x-x-x-

“Hey!” Y/N said excitedly.

“Hey!” Sebastian replied back smiling like a Cheshire cat.

“What are yo- Oof! James!” Y/N got distracted from the video call.

Sebastian could see commotion behind her. She had lifted a young boy and was trying to adjust the camera.

“James! How is my favorite boy?” Sebastian exclaimed excitedly.

“Say Hi to Sebby.”  Y/N said waving James little hand in front of camera. The next few moments passes with James babbling to Sebastian.

“What is he doing here?” He asked followed by making a funny face.

“His dads have appointment with the baker for cake tasting.”

“Didn’t they go last week?”

“Oh! They did. Only they did not find ‘their taste’.” Y/N replied making air quotes.

“They do realize that the wedding is in a month. Right?”

“They do. Most of the things are done. Except cake. And my dress.”

“You realize that the wedding is in one month.” Sebastian teased.

“I do. Thank you very much for reminding me.” Y/N sassed back. She easily got distracted by her nephew who was trying to reach her face to get her attention.

“I think he is hungry.” Y/N said and started walking towards the kitchen, holding James on one hand and her phone on another.

“So? How is work? Shooting?” She asked him, as she placed James on the high chair and was in the process of heating his bottle.

Sebastian did not answer immediately. He was too busy staring at the woman in the phone, her soft hair that was all over her face, smelling like beachy coconut, a smell that he is all too familiar and started to love over years.

“Are you okay?” He heard her voice breaking his train of thoughts.

“Yeah… Yeah. Just thinking.”

“About?” She asked as she handed James his milk bottle.

“Those rumors.”

“Seb. We have talked about this. It is not your fault. Stop blaming yourself. And it’s not a big deal.”

“I know. I just hate all the teasing I have to endure.”

“Teasing?”

“Mackie. Jessica. And all others.” Sebastian replied blushing.

“Well. We both are very good looking people and it is good thing that people can see that.” Y/N replied bashfully making Sebastian laugh.

“We are indeed.” He agreed. Their conversation was interrupted by someone knocking Sebastian’s trailer.

“I have to go.”

“Okay. Bye. Take Care. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”  Y/N said.

“Bye. Love you both.” Sebastian said.

“We love you more.” Y/N said waving James’s tiny hands enthusiastically. He ended the call.

I do love you. Sebastian thought as he walked out of the trailer.

Made for Each Other (Part 2)

Read Part 1 here

It has been one year since you joined Avengers. One year since you started to go on missions. One year since you had a place which you may or may not consider as your home. One year since you received some scientific information about yourself, which you could trust and digest. One year since you found out something that nearly gave you a heart attack.

You had a decent introduction with the team. At least with the ones who were in the compound. You said polite hello to everyone. Fury briefed about you. You never thought that anything would surprise Natasha Romanoff, but your career activities definitely did. Dr Banner had asked you questions regarding yourself along with the permission to carry out some tests. You did not mind and agreed to it.

“Guess that will be it. Captain Rogers and some of the others are on mission. I am sure Agent Romanoff will brief you about everything.” Fury shook your hands and bid adieu.

You had spent the first week getting familiar to the compound. You had fixed a training schedule with Clint and Natasha, while they also briefed you about Avenger’s current focus- Hydra. Now that the Thanos menace is over, it was unanimously decided to bring Hydra’s end. You completely agreed to it as most of your missions consisted in obtaining Intel on Hydra. You shared your inputs and information, which both the Agent thought were extremely useful.

You spent a day in lab with Dr Banner where he conducted many medical tests on you. When the results came, it was pretty clear that the genetic mutation in you was natural by birth and not induced by any experiments. Banner had also suggested that he will find a way to obtain your parent’s blood samples for tests. He also offered you to make a suit with the help of Wakandan technology which would enable you to shift without worrying about taking off or wearing cloths. You were grateful for all the efforts that he had taken.

You spent the rest of the time with others. Most of them simply wanted to watch you shift in to different things. Rhodey challenged you to shift into a dinosaur and much to his surprise you obliged. It gave Scott Lang a heart attack. Taking inspiration from Rhodey, Peter wondered if you could turn into dragon. In few minutes he got his answer that you could.

By the end of the week, the others returned from their respective missions. Message was already sent to them about the addition of new team member, a shape shifter, and they were excited to meet you. You were too looking forward to meeting them.

Bucky was tired. Tired to the point where he considered going back into the cryo. He was tired of fighting. Tired of bloodshed. Tired of feeling guilty about the things he did when he was not in control of himself. But he knew he has to keep going. For all the wrongs he did (even if Steve repeatedly told him that it was not his fault), he has to make sure that no one else has to live a life like he had. This was the only thought that kept him going.

After returning from the current mission, he rushed to his room as soon as quintjet landed on the compound, without bothering to say hello to anyone.

“Shower first.” He thought to himself.

After cleaning up, he fell on his bed. He felt the soreness of his body. He laid there wondering if he should sleep it off or he should go to find some food. The decision was made when Friday informed him that he was summoned by Steve for lunch with their new team member.

“Food it is then.”

As soon as he reached the kitchen, he saw that almost everyone had gathered. In the centre was a dark long haired girl, talking to Tony. As he neared them, he could hear Tony bombarding questions to the girl. Noticing Bucky, Tony nodded.

“That is Barnes. He is grumpy and he doesn’t like people. And Barnes, this is Ella. She is the shape shifter. So don’t go killing anyone you don’t know. We don’t want you to accidently kill her.” Tony said introducing him to the new girl. The girl gave him an up to down glance and gave him a quite smile.

“So I hear you are a shape shifter. I mean that sounds cool and all, but how good are you?” Tony asked her.

“What do you want me to shift into?” Ella asked. She had gotten used to such scepticism in the past week.

“Oh surprise me.”

Others had taken seats and were digging food, and watching Tony’s and Ella’s interaction. Bucky was curious. He waited for Ella to do her thing.

Tony gasped, which brought Bucky’s attention back at them. He was confused.

What am I supposed to see? Bucky thought to himself. He could see everyone staring at the new recruit.

“You… You look… Just like… How?” Tony muttered unable to finish his sentence.

Okay. I definitely don’t get it. What the hell is going on? Bucky looked for any changes around the room. There were none. He couldn’t exactly pinpoint what had changed.

“You look just like Tony. Every single feature exactly like him.”  Rhodey spoke.

Bucky could not wait anymore.

“What am I looking for?” He said quietly. His voice was so low that normally it would be missed in normal circumstances but in this situation it seemed like he was screaming at the top of his voice.

“What do you mean by ‘What am I looking for?’ Can’t you see?” Sam asked.

“No.” Bucky replied truthfully.

“NO! You cannot see Ella looking like an exact photocopy of Stark? Man, either your sight is really catching up with your age or there is something really wrong with you.”

Bucky didn’t say a word. From the glare he was receiving from Ella, he knew if he would confirm truth, it would not be good for him.

“Bucky? What do you mean by you cannot see?” Steve asked. Bucky could see everyone’s eyes on him.

“I cannot see the change. Ella looks exactly like she looked few minutes ago.”

“You are telling us that you cannot see Ella’s shapeshift?” Nat asked again.

“Yes! That is exactly what I said. She looks same to me.” Bucky said. He was getting annoyed now. Why are they not believing him?

“He is speaking truth.” Wanda announced.

“That’s not possible.” Ella finally spoke. She knew that this not possible. Everyone can see it. Everyone. There were no exceptions to her powers.

“Guess we will have to look into it.” Tony said.

Bucky was right about things going south. He did not like it. And from the looks of it neither did Ella.

i’m not one to usually talk about notes, but i hope people are aware that like/reblog difference ratio is insanely discouraging to a lot of people

likes are a sweet gesture to show that you enjoy the content, but don’t do anything else

reblogs get it in circulation so others can admire it as well

please keep that in mind

loved ultimate sibling p1 , part 2 ??

Thanks... Next week...

Could I please be tagged in Rumors, it’s so good!

Sure....

Made for Each Other (Part 1)

You always knew you were different from others. You remembered how your parents gave you worried looks, as if you were some alien creature. You were human as far as you knew, with shape shifting abilities. You shifter into a cat and had climbed a tree when you were a mere toddler. Your mom kept looking for you everywhere. Police were called. Neighbors joined the search. Everyone was out looking for you in the town and the surrounding wilderness. No one could find you. You watched them as a cat and did not know how to turn back. There was no plausible explanation for where you were, what happened to you when you returned home.

That incident was marked in your consciousness. Since that day you had withdrawn yourself from the world. You found yourself more at home in the wilderness. You shifted into the animals, birds and even insects and trees. Over years you had figured out that you can shift into other humans and inanimate objects, which was when you found out that your father was cheating on your mother. To say the things did not end well would be an understatement. You shifted into a coyote (as they were seen in your neighborhood a lot) and broke into the house through the window. Your dad and his mistress were scared to their wits. Your neighbor who had heard the glass break had called the police and your mom. And everything went south from there. Your mom found about your dad’s infidelity, the police thought that there was a mad coyote attacking humans. Your dad was out of the town the next day with his mistress and the police were busy looking out for the coyote. No one could link your involvement with the incident. Except one person.

You were sitting under a park bench in a dog form when Fury came and sat on the bench. He started playing with you. You didn’t mind. You have played before with humans in your animal or bird forms. But then he started calling you by your real name. He whispers all the thing he knew about you. You tried to run but he spoke in such a soft assuring voice requesting you to hear him out. You stared at him for a while then rushed to the place where you had hidden your clothes. You came back and had one of the life changing conversations of your life time.

-x-x-

You waited for Fury at the reception of the Avenger’s Compound. You were to join them today. All the years of training and spying opened a new opportunity for you. You stared at the abstract painting in the room thinking about your past.

Your conversation with Fury. You were barely an 11 year old child with same cool powers, at least you thought they were cool. Fury had explained you about himself and SHIELD. He told you that you would make a valuable asset to the team. It didn’t take him much convincing for him to get you agreeing to his deal, but you had your conditions. You wished to be independent, not associate with any organization. Fury could request for your service at any time for decent remuneration. He agreed. Years later you and Fury would be thankful for this agreement as not very soon after your agreement, SHIELD collapsed due to HYDRA infiltration. You were the most trustworthy source of information for Fury. You had worked alongside the Avengers, assisted them in various missions. Only thing that they did not know it was you. You wondered how they would take the news. You will find out soon enough.

A voice calling you out of your reverie. Fury was waiting for you by the elevator. You walked up to him. You entered the elevator, and Fury turned to you.

“Are you ready for this?” He asked.

“I am.”
