It Controls Me

Chapter Four.

As I look up, I see Peter perched on my bed. He's just sitting there, legs crossed, on his phone. An innocent smile wipes his face once he sees me approach, I sit across from him and mimic his position. You'd think him coming in would feel like an invasion, but actually its nice. Even though I've only spoke to him once, but he seems harmless, innocent.

"So, what brings you here, spider?" I ask him as he places his phone down.

"Nothing interesting but everyone else is busy, so I thought maybe we could hang out for a bit" He responds, fiddling with his fingers.

"Of course, we can peter, I'm just going to shower, and I'll be right out with you," I jump off the bed and stand on the floor. He smiles at me as I walk into my bathroom, closing the door behind me. I'm really bringing up Tony's water bill, two showers in a day. In all fairness it was worth it for him, watching the fight between me and Steve. I turn the shower on, then begin to remove my clothing. Stepping into the shower watching as the room steams up, enjoying the warmth.

Once id finished, I wrapped myself in a towel and the same with my hair. Then began to make my way into the washroom. I looked at myself in the mirror before turning the tap on. Pouring facial cleanser into my hands and applying it to my face, rubbing it in. I bend down to remove the cleanser, slowly and gently. I grab a flannel and pat my face dry, then returning to look at myself in the mirror again.

"Fuck," I jump back, hand on heart. "Bucky you need to stop doing this!" I turn to look at Bucky standing in the doorway that leads to his bathroom.

"I'm sorry darling, in my defence I'm not used to people being in my bathroom" He laughs, his eyes tracing my face.

"It's our bathroom now," I chuckle whilst throwing the damp flannel at him. His metal arm quickly catching it before placing it into the washing basket.

"I guess it is," a tiny smile appears on his face but disappears just as fast before he walks out.

I do the same, but in the opposite direction, obviously, walking back into my bedroom. Peters still sitting on my bed but now with a book and pen.

"What you are doing, kid?" I ask whilst looking at his page.

"Just homework," He responds without taking his eyes off of the book.

"Will be back in a second just going to change" I say, Peter hums in response as I walk into my dressing room.

I don't take long picking out clothes, I slip on grey joggers and pair it with a charcoal crop top and some black fluffy socks. Don't judge me, my feet are always cold. Shoes are overrated anyways; these allow me to slide. I check my phone before re-joining peter. I haven't had a chance to check on it all day, I look at the time. 7pm? Time really does fly. I've had no messages from my mother yet, which is good, I guess. I slip it into my pocket and walk into my main room.

"Audelia," Peter looks at me an eyebrow raised.

"Yes," I return his look until he smiles.

"Mr. Stark told me you are not on social media, so I am going to change that. I've already created a twitter account, it's verified and I'm just creating your Instagram now. Come see." He says excitedly.

I walk over and sit next to him on my bed, my new laptop open and in front of him. He's showing me the accounts, pretty basic usernames just @AudeliaStrano but I like it. The profile picture seems to be a photo of me from when I met everyone, in the lilac dress.

"When was this photo taken?" I ask looking at him.

"Oh, I took it earlier, I do it all the time for the team, I mainly control the social media accounts. It gives me something to do and these people can't control technology for the life of them." He laughs as he shows me some other pictures, he's taken of me today, one of which is me on the floor after Bucky pushed me off. "and now you're verified on Instagram," He announces proudly. "Let me just get the team to all follow you back and you'll be getting followers from loads of different people, but don't follow them back, got to run it by me first. Unless you know the personally, then add them at your own free will."
