"Guys I'm really craving Chinese," Wanda says as we pile into the car.

"Wanda... at least we're using Stark's card," Nat says as she gives me my stuff to put in the back and pulls up directions to the nearest Chinese place. My phone chimes in my hands signaling I got a notification.

Sammy: Where are you?

Aadya: Getting Chinese, why?

Sammy: Get me orange chicken

Aadya: since you asked so nicely

"Guys Sam wants orange chicken," I said while looking up from my phone

"Ask if he wants anything else," Wanda says, not looking away from the road. Such a safe driver.

Aadya: Do you want anything else?

Sammy: Pain in my ass wants white rice. Loser.

Aadya: Which pain in your ass are you talking about?

Sammy: LOL, the Wiener Soldier.

Aadya: Lmao, does Steve want anything?

Sammy: Aw you care and he's not even your bf yet.

Aadya: Samuel I will get you nothing.

Sammy: Sorry Sorry.

Sammy: chicken Lo mein.

Aadya: Does Tony want anything?

Sammy: I shouted if anyone wants anything, he's sitting next to me and didn't say anything, so no.

Aadya: Ask again.

Sammy: He said he's going out to lunch with Pepper so no.

Aadya: Gonna pretend I know who Pepper is.

Sammy: she technically owns Stark Industries and she's Tony's assistant. We've been trying to get those two together for practically ever.

Samuel: You should see the way they look at each other.

Aadya: Focus Sam.

Sammy: right

Sammy: That's the whole order. Orange chicken, chicken lo mein, and white rice.

Aadya: K, see you in 20.

"Orange Chicken, chicken lo mein, and white rice," I said.

"All for Sam?" Wanda asked

"No, one white rice for Bucky and chicken lo mein for Steve," I say.

"What were his exact words?" Nat asked

"The pain in my ass wants white rice, then he said the Wiener Soldier," Wanda and Nat then burst out laughing.

Wanda pulls up to the drive-through and recites her order, General Taos, and fried dumplings Nat's order- beef and broccoli meal and beef fried rice.

My order- Shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg rolls.

And of course Sam, Bucky, and Steve's order- orange chicken, chicken lo mein, and white rice.

Wanda added on crab meat rangoons for Bucky and white rice for Sam, along with sugar donuts for the 3 of us in the car.

-

"Gemme, Gemme, Gemme!" Sam says as he rips the Chinese food bag out of Wanda's hands. He pulls out his orange chicken and grabs a fork from the drawer.

          

"There's a bowl of small white rice in the bag for you," I say while walking to my room to put away my dress and shoes.

When I do so I run down the hallway to get to my food, the smell of everyone's open containers is making my stomach grumble loudly.

I like how slippery hardwood floors are, it's a lot funner and faster to slide through on my socks than to walk through the hallway.

As I get to the kitchen I see everyone already eating, "What the fuck is this?" Bucky said holding up a crab rangoon,

"A crab rangoon, all you ordered was white rice, had to get you something that would have flavor," Nat says, poking at her food more.

I grab my food and sit next to Steve and Nat, opening my container as Nat passed me a glass of Dr. Pepper.

"What the fuck is a crab rangoon?" Bucky snaps, picking it up and inspecting it closely.

"You dip it in this," Nat says while pushing an orange-type sauce over in Bucky's directions. He dips in the sauce and puts it in his mouth, it's like a little light clicks on in Bucky's head as he dips it again, "It's good right"

Bucky's face melts back into his RBF as he chews, "It's okay"

He doesn't want Nat to have the satisfaction of her being right.

I dip my fork into my rice and bite into the food while watching the different conversations progress, into funny bickering. Mainly between Bucky and Wanda- something about Bucky being a "simp" for Nat, Bucky is arguing that he doesn't know what that doesn't mean.

"Bucky you're a total simp for her-" Wanda says, stuffing another dumpling in her mouth.

"What the fuck is a simp?!" Bucky barks at her while she laughs through an open mouth.

"Peter told me what it means," she said covering her mouth with her hand,

"Who's Peter?!" Bucky's angry outbursts have Sam and Steve rolling on the floor laughing, Nat and I quietly laughing while eating.

"Peter is the kid in the red and blue suit at the airport in Germany," Steve said, I don't know who the hell Peter is but he sounds young, too young to be an avenger.

"You mean the kid that had the sticky stuff coming out of him?"

Sam lets out a sigh, "Yes the kid that had the webs coming out of him"

Bucky let out an irritated breath as he leaned back in his seat.

"Let's watch a movie," Wanda says as she grabs her food and walks into the living room, I follow along and slide onto the couch with her,

"What movie do you wanna watch," she says as the rest of the team piles into the living room.

"Hocus Pocus. It was my favorite growing up," I say while taking another bite of food.

"I've seen that movie when I was younger," Sam said.

"It's a classic right? I used to watch it every weekend" I say, stuffing more food in my mouth.

"Eh- I was always too scared to finish it"

"Seriously? That movie was not scary-" I defend

"Uh? The guy with the sti-" Sam shouts before Wanda shouts out

"AH" Wanda shouted out, "No spoilers!"

"You've never seen it?" I turned over to her.

"I always liked the Dick Van Dyke show, we watched it to help our language," Wanda said, recalling her past memories.
