"Does she talk?"
"No. She's been mute since childhood."
Gemini Destiny Braddock. A girl with a very unknown and interesting past.
Becoming mute at a young age, her family never hearing her voice after age four. She was speechless, talking only in...

THE DATE HAD been only what Gemini could call great. Was it teenage-ish? Yes. Was it a cliche (dinner and movie)? Yes. Did she care about cliches? No. She enjoyed them the most.
She entered the kitchen quietly in at the start of the afternoon, an oversized hoodie covering her. Her hair covered half of her face as she opened the fridge, grabbing the milk. Picking up the cereal tub from the side, she poured it into the bowl before taking it to the table. She didn't question that no-one was in the kitchen as she sat at the table. For now at least.
Gemini never realised how amazing quiet was until she was sat on her own. She hummed the small tune she had known for decades before someone else suddenly joined in, shortly followed by another.
She looked up to see Taury, Joe and Becky walking in. She waved at them, smirking as Becky ran to give her a hug. "Hi Auntie Gem." She greeted happily. Gemini smiled at the curious glint in her eyes. "Can I see Dixon?" She asked politely.
Gemini looked down at her smiling. "He's in my room. Closest to the kitchen on the left wall." She explained before watching Becky run off to find Gemini's trusted companion.
Joe and Taury sat either side of the girl as she continued to eat her cereal. Gemini didn't really know why the pair of them were here but she didn't particularly question it either. She kew what they were both like.
After a moment of silence, Joe spoke up. "So, how was your date with The Winter Soldier?" He asked, his tone laced in humour. This earned him a sharp glare from the younger woman. He held his hands in surrender. "Joking. No, but seriously, how was it?"
She smirked at the man's curiosity. "Really fun, he's really nice when you get to know him." She pointed out.
Joe smiled at the girl's expression, one he hadn't seen - fully - for a long time. "He cares about you a lot." He admitted, earning himself a nod.
"I know. Thank you for giving him help with it." Joe looked to the girl confused, trying to play off as though he hadn't the foggiest. "Bucky told me he was worried about what to do and that you and Nate helped."
Taury let out a loud laugh. "He is one whipped bitch." Gemini snorted into her cereal bowl as Joe shook his head, a smile on his features.
"Fuck sake Taury." He despaired, shaking his head as he chuckled. "Fuck sake."
Taury sent him a single finger signal, shutting him up before she looked around. "Where are the rest of the Breakfast Brigade, then?" She asked confused. "It's way too fucking quiet."
Gemini shook her head. "Again with swearing." Earning her a swift 'Fuck off' in reply. "I don't know where they are. I woke up, came in here and no-one was here. Either asleep, training or someone's in a fight and the others are too childish to break it up." She listed the possibilities.
