Third Person's POV:

"I-I didn't know!"

"You could be Lizzie's stunt double." Scarlett teased, arms crossed as she eyed you and Lizzie. Before you all headed out to shoot the Lagos scene today, you decided to slip on one of Carter's old jackets you had accidentally slipped into your luggage while packing; an army green coat jacket that was large enough to cover your palms and go a little past covering the waist band of your jeans.

What you didn't realize was that Lizzie's set outfit was similar to your go-to getup — with the stylish skinny jeans and the leather boots of from your previous — that if it weren't for your (h/c) shoulder length hair, you would've been mistaken for Lizzie a fair number of times. Chris and Mackie pretty much joined in on Scarlett's little tease fest while Lizzie, keeping it completely to herself, loved the thought that you and Wanda Maximoff were pretty much twins themselves; you've taken a dozen of personal pictures together, even bringing Mackie and Scarlett into those photos, reserved for a throwback Thursday post

While shooting this particular scene, the Russos had actually given you real earpiece so that you would be able to easily assist Lizzie, Scarlett, Mackie, and Chris in the dialogue exchange for the whole scene. You had tried doing it with a mic and had connected to the sound effect speakers hidden on set but it proved to be... even more difficult and distracting, especially for Mackie, who would be over every director's yell of cut to belt out to 'Earth, Wind, and Fire', the occasional tease of a Frozen song and 'Don't Stop Believing' to rile Chris up into singing with the two of you.

The Russos didn't have have a choice and as fun as it was, you wouldn't be getting anything done within the timeframe they've settled on, so they had to bring out the real ear pieces, and as explained before to you by Joe, this part of the movie would alternate between your scene in 'Romania' and their mission in 'Lagos' so they'd basically just in scenes in between: there would be only clips of you on the laptop for the first part and then your fight scene would be in between the fight between this team of Avengers versus Brock Rumlow.

Speaking of Brock Rumlow, actually, hearing about him being casted into the movie to reprise that roll had you excited to see Frank again in action, that when you got on set you immediately strayed away from Chris to find him, much to Chris' dismay. Even afterwards, you found yourself at the finishing end of the scene nearby Frank so that you two could catch up, talking and opening up to each other in between takes and mini food fests.

You and Lizzie were masters of sneaking food into set, learning that trick from the man behind it all, Robert Downey Jr., himself, managing to hide them in the food stalls and actually foam wooden boxes on set. If he were with you now on set he would've shed a proud tear for each of you. While some of your co-actors were all around Atlanta shooting and doing their own thing, Sebastian was back at the studio, catching on very much needed sleep and doing fight rehearsals at the same time. It'd be a little less time consuming.
