《You're the guy my dad never shut up about? | S. Rogers [1]》85. Jenga

She sat on a bench under the warm sun. The gentle breeze picked up the sent of the flowers in the garden. Galilea took in a deep breath and coughed. Bad idea. She took out the red inhaler, the one she has to use once a day, and took two puffs.

"Hi Mrs. Puff" her brother smiled. Gali rolled her eyes and Tony laughed and sat down next to his little sister "you okay?" He asked.

Gali nodded "yeah. Why?"

Tony shrugged "making sure my little sister is alright. It's my job to look after you"

"And who looks after you?" Gali asked.

"Myself" he answered. She laughed and shook her head "how are those old timers doing?" Tony turned to where Steve and Bucky are walking around the perimeter, talking.

After he mayhem at the break room calmed down, Galilea was able to introduce Bucky to everyone. Again they were kind and welcoming. The two best friends from the 40s were happy to see each other and then decided to catch up. So they went outside where no Avenger will disturb them.

Galilea followed them and sat on a bench. She kept an eye on the guys, just to make sure that Bucky won't flip or something "they're doing well"

Tony stared at the two 40s men for a minute. He grew up hearing stories about them. Like his sister he grew tired of the stories and would often tell his dad to stop saying the stories.

After his parents died he realized how much he missed hearing about Captain America and Sergeant Barnes. He would've given anything to hear his dad recount another story. He never thought, not even in his wildest dreams, that the two men he grew up hearing stories about would actually be alive and trying to adjust to living in the 21st century.

"The two guys dad never shut up about. God if he were alive now..." Tony shook his head, already picturing how his dad would be acting right now.

"I know. My god. He would've been flipping his shit" Galilea agreed.

Tony laughed loudly at his sister. He then turned to her and asked what he's been wanting to ask for months "hey, remember when you made those videos about you running blood tests on your blood and Steve's?" Gali nodded "well at the end of a video you said that it was all crap. Why was it all crap?"

"I said it was crap if my suspicions were right" she reminded.

"Were they right?"

"Part of it" she nodded and stayed silent for a minute. Tony waited for Gali to continue but she didn't

"So what was it?" He curiously asked.

"Turns out the accident in dads lab only strengthened my powers"

"What do you mean?" Tony scrunched his eyebrows.

"I was actually born with these powers. Mom and dad gave me something to suppress my powers. Like medicine. Crush up something in my food. When I began to use my inhaler it was like a double kicker, help me with my asthma and hold back on my powers" Galilea explained.

"So when you got in that accident the serum only strengthen your powers" Tony continued, understanding what Galilea means.

She nodded "they noticed that they couldn't stop them from getting stronger so they stopped"

"Aren't you mad they did that?" Tony asked his sister.

"No. I mean can you imagine trying to control a one year old who can move things with her mind? Can you imagine how freaked you would've been? I mean you freaked when I got them and you were a teenager" Gali explained.

Tony nodded as he remembered taking cover whenever Gali would get a new power. He would tell Jarvis to pack him food to last him a couple days. He didn't want to be out when she had a new power. He would always get hurt in some way. Tony wrapped an arm around Gali and gave her a side hug.

"I love you pipsqueak" he planted a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you fruitcake" she placed a kiss on his cheek "by the way, I so approve"

Tony looked down at his sister in confusion "approve of what?"

"Pepper. Moms ring will look beautiful on her"

His face went from confusion, to his eyes widening in shock at getting caught and then he smiled warmly at his sister "do you think she'll say yes?"

"She stuck with you during your craziest moments. I'm pretty sure she'll say yes" the Stark siblings shared another hug.

"You ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan"

"Clinton, I swear..."

Clint ran away laughing.

The whole team had just watched Forrest Gump, the movie Galilea promised Bucky she would show him once they were out. He enjoyed it very much and the movie provided him with some historical events that he missed while he was the Winter Soldier.

Clint and Kamilla would say their favorite lines from the movie when the actors would say them and now that the movie is over, they continued quoting Forrest Gump.

"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get" Kamilla quoted yet again.

"Oh my god, someone shut them up!" Sam groaned as he dramatically threw his head back on the couch. Clint then went on with the shrimp like Bubba.

"Jesus Christ" Gali rolled her eyes.

"Nat, control your man" Bruce told Natasha who is staring at Clint with a small smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.

"I think it's cute"

"Oh my god!" Tony groaned and slumped further into the couch.

It continued to go on for a couple more minutes, everyone trying to ignore Clint and Kamilla by playing on the Switch or asking Bucky how his metal arm works, then Doctor Grey walked in.

"Don't you guys have a home?" She asked the group lounging around the break room.

"Yes" they lazily answered.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"We like it here" Rhodey answered.

"Yeah, right" Olivia scoffed.

Crashing blocks were heard, followed by groans and laughs of victory "this game is ridiculous" Loki muttered as he picked up the jenga pieces from the ground.

"You dislike it because you've knocked the tower down three times in a row" Galilea commented.

"I don't see how it happened. He's the one with a metal arm yet he hasn't knocked it down. Something is not right here" Loki grumbled.

"Nothing is wrong" Bucky stacked the jenga blocks in a tower "You're just a sore loser" Galilea laughed and Loki glared at the man.

"I hate this game" he stated.

"Well I don't think you'll be a fan of the truth or dare version. Especially not the one the Stark's own" Thor grumbled. Tony and Gali smiled.

"A piece of advice for you both" Olivia told Loki and Bucky "never play truth or dare with anyone in this room"

"Yeah, never play truth or dare with us" Gali nodded in agreement.

"What do you mean? We are responsible players!" Clint loudly said.

"The first time we played truth or dare you made me strip!" Gali yelled at Clint.

"Yeah but you went along. You even put that Magic Mike music" he reminded.

"You even made money off it" Natasha added.

"Oh right. Easiest money I've ever made" Galilea grinned.

"Oh god" Tony and Steve groaned.

"Oh, and when there's alcohol involved" Bruce sighed, his cheeks tainted in faint pink.

"Everyone is in their underwear by the end of the game" Steve added. Bucky looked up at his friend in shock.

"Why do we keep playing that game?" Thor asked the group.

"Because it's fun" they answered.

"You know what else is fun" Olivia began.

"What?" They asked.

"Health"

Never have the Avengers all groan simultaneously at the same thing "don't be such a mom!" Sam moaned.

"Well I am a mom. So stop whining" Olivia walked around the couch and handed Steve an orange bottle of pills "painkillers"

She fought back a smile and then turned to Gali who's sitting on the floor with Bucky and Loki, a coffee table in the center and a half built jenga tower "your inhaler. Don't- don't use it all in one- in one night" her voice cracking with laughter.

"Oh come on!" Gali exclaimed. Olivia broke out in loud laughter and covered her face with her hands "I'm sorry"

"And you call yourself a doctor" Steve shook his head.

Olivia was going to say something but then it all came back and she covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

"Is anyone else confused as to what's happening?" Rhodey asked.

The Avengers and Revengers raised their hands. Sam was quick to see a connection and couldn't resist to sing a song that fits the occasion.

"Baby, I'm hot just like an oven, I need some lovin' and baby, I can't hold it much longer, it's getting stronger and stronger. And when I get that feeling, I want sexual healing, sexual healing..." Olivia dropped her hands and laughed loudly and the others got the hint.

"Samuel!" Gali yelled and threw jenga blocks at him where's he's sitting on the couch.

He kept singing and held up a pillow to protect himself. He can't move that freely because his leg is healing and he's using crutches.

"Oh baby, makes me feel so fine- ow-" he laughed at Gali and continued to sing "helps to relive my mind"
