Natasha greets Steve and Bucky as Selene finishes changing.
"Hey" Steve smiles and kisses her as Bucky heads into the apartment.
"Wow, check this place out" he whistles looking around. Natasha chuckles and looks to Bucky.
"Yeah, Selene's done alright for herself" Steve pulls his jacket off and hangs it on the small hooks beside the door before following Natasha and Bucky further into the apartment. Selene leaves her bedroom pulling on a sheer cardigan, she smiles at them. Bucky lighting up a little as she heads towards them, Steve offers her his hand and she takes it.
"It's nice to see you again, Selene"
"And you, Steve" she smiles and turns to Bucky. "Bucky"
"Selene" he smiles at her.
"I had no idea what you would want to eat, so Natal....Natasha picked" Natasha chuckles. "Sorry, I'm still getting used to the new name" Selene tells the redhead who winks back.
"Babushka, I will always be your little Natal'ya" Selene smiles at her, Natasha sets Steve in a seat at the counter and Bucky automatically takes the one next to him, Selene motions to the pizza and toppings on the top.
"Natasha thought this would be fun" Selene deadpans with a shrug. Bucky smirks a little.
"How did you two meet?" he asks grabbing the plate of grated cheese. Natasha grabs a sliver of pepper and munches on it.
"I was Natal'ya's mentor in the Red Room" Selene answers leaning back against the counter, Bucky glances around her apartment, he's checking the exits. "She came in as a child....and they were lined up in front of all the mentors....I was the oldest so I got to pick first" she states with a fond smile. "There was this little redhead girl with these huge green eyes" Natasha smiles. "And she stared at me....unafraid....and I knew.....I knew she would be my little spider" Natasha chuckles noting the two soldier's confused looks.
"You barely look a day over 25" Selene smirks.
"I know....it's this virus I have...."
"That makes you look young?" Bucky asks, frowning at her.
"Babushka" Natasha states. "Show them the file" Selene bits her lips before sighing.
"Alright" Selene heads back into the bedroom. Bucky and Steve look to Natasha who sprinkles grates cheese on her own pizza. Selene returns and throws a file on the table in front of Bucky. "I want you to trust me..." she tells him. "If you want my help...." he looks to her then to the Hydra file on the table, SUBJECT ONE, printed across the front of it. He runs his hand along the side then opens it. The first page is the usual information page, name, date of birth, sex etc and a photo, his hand shakes. She was in cryo. Just like him, he scans the rest of the page.
Name: Selene
DOB: Estimated 1300's
Bucky's eyes widen at that, he looks to Selene and Natasha, stood side by side.
"How old are you?" he asks, Steve frowns and pulls the file to him.
"About six hundred and thirty....two? Maybe three? Dates are bit iffy" she shrugs.
"How long were you....frozen?" Bucky asks quietly.
"Hydra first captured me in 1945" she answers looking at Bucky, his metal hand stroking her table. "I made a bit of a scene......" she tells them. "Killed a fair few of them....was about ready to escape...."
"What happened?" Steve asks, Selene snorts unamused.
"The sun" she shrugs. "I couldn't leave the facility because the sun was up"
"But the windows..." Steve motions to them.
"Specially installed to protect me from the suns rays...." she looks to Bucky. "It was 77, I think when they defrosted me....put me to work.........after Natal'ya graduated from the Red Room, I escaped....." Steve looks over her abilities listed.
"These abilities.....did Hydra give them to you?" Selene shakes her head.
"I've had them since was about twenty, twenty one" That was technically the age she was turned, and therefore the age in which she gained her abilities. "Hydra just....exploited what was already there" she shrugs and leans on the table, Bucky glances to her. "I told you I was once like you.....I understand everything you are going through right now" he shrugs. "Put the gun on the counter, Bucky" Steve looks to Bucky sharply as he pulls the gun out of his trousers. "And the knife from your boot" he looks to Selene as he pulls the knife from his boot. "Right now, in this apartment, there is nothing that is going to hurt you.....except maybe my cooking" she teases, Bucky smiles a little. Steve and Natasha share a look, the redhead smirking in smug satisfaction. "Now make your pizza" she tells him sliding a tray of pancetta towards him. Bucky smirks and looks to Steve who smiles back raising an eyebrow, Bucky nods.
.....................................
Selene washes the dishes as Steve, Natasha and Bucky sit watching tv. Natasha and Steve curled up together. Bucky looks to them and stands heading to the kitchen.
"Can I help?" he asks, Selene motions to the glasses on the counter behind them.
"Just hand me them" he nods, grabs them and hands them to her, she sticks them in the soapy water. He leans on the counter next to her.
"So...what's next?" he asks, she glances to him and smirks.
"Fun" she states and he frowns at her.
"What?"
"Oh come on, your old not dead" she teases. "What do you do for fun?" she asks.
"I don't....." he looks to Steve and Natasha. "I don't do anything" he answers. "I mean....I work out...I check the perimeter....I eat.....I sleep, sometimes......I talk to Steve and Natasha....."
"Is any of that fun?" Bucky looks to her as she dries her hands. She raises an eyebrow.
"No" she smirks.
"Then that is next....we find something you enjoy doing....it could be reading, watching tv, going to the movies, bowling...paint balling.....riding a bike.....and whenever you get worked up, stressed, angry, annoyed.....you go and do your something fun....to relieve the tension" he nods.
"What do you do?" he asks, she smirks.
"I watch vampire tv shows" he stares at her as she turns back to the sink.
"So vampires is what does it for you?" he teases, she smirks at him.
"You have no idea" she whispers handing him a dish cloth. "You can dry"
