New Guys Chapter 125

Aura's P.O.V. 

After hours of coaxing me to come out of my room, I finally opened my door to Chase and dad. I should go apologize to the people. They probably think they did something wrong. They seem nice from what my father and Chase have told me. 

I just needed time to calm down and relax. 

" Are you okay, Aura? " Chase asks softly as he sees me come out from my dark room. 

I nod and pull at my sleeves with a slight blush. I look horrible. My eyes are slightly puffy and red, my face is flushed and my clothes are wrinkled. 

I hug my dad, leaning into his embrace and taking a moment to recollect the rest of myself. I take a breath and pull away. Dad smiles weakly. He's probably apologized a million times for bringing the strangers here. I forgive him. He didn't know. 

" Are they still here? " I ask softly while peering down the hall. 

Dad nods slightly. " Yeah. Tony's got them down in the lab. They're going over some things. Do you need something? I can get you something. " He offers. 

I shake my head. " No. I'm fine. Thanks guys. " I look at my two favorite boys at the moment. My dad and Chase. " I want to go apologize for running out on them. It was rude of me. " I look over at the elevator. 

" They know you're going through a hard time right now. " Chase says softly. " You don't have to go if you don't feel comfortable. " 

I smile weakly at Chase. " I'll be okay. I'll go talk to them. I've got practice my people skills some time. I also need to talk to new people. I've resorted to talking to pictures of Jensen Ackles and Steve Howey online. " 

Dad and Chase chuckle. I smile and we all walk towards the elevator. I've got to start talking to people again. It'll be good for me.

I walk into the lab and look around. The five new team members are laughing at something Tony said as he shows them a new weapon he created.

Tony looks up and sees me. His smile softens. " Hey sweetheart. " This draws everyone's attention. They all look at me and I blush under their gaze. The five new people make sure to keep their distance, I can tell it's out of respect. 

" Hi. I just wanted to come down to apologize to the newbies. " I step towards the five new people slightly. " I'm sorry for running out earlier. It wasn't very kind of me and you guys didn't do anything. It's me. I'm sorta...scre-" 

" Language Aura. " Dad whispers. 

I nod and smile slightly before rolling my eyes. " Yes dad. As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by my father, " I look over at dad with a smile before turning back to the newbies. " I'm messed up and..ya. Well. I just wanted to say sorry and it's nice to meet you. " I finish quietly. " I'm Aura by the way. " I'm trying to lighten the tension in here. I think it's working. 

The girl smiles widely. " No problem. I'm Wanda. It's great to meet you. " Wanda has brownish hair and a red jacket. She's wearing a black dress underneath the red jacket and a long necklace. 

I grow a bit more confident as she smiles. She's not mad. 

The other guys start to break out in smiles. 

" I'm Sam. We've heard lots of good things about you, Miss Aura. " Sam's a young African American man wearing an olive green shirt and worn blue jeans. 

" All bad things I hope. " I joke with a slight grin. 

They laugh and I slowly grow more and more confident as the minutes go by. 

" I'm Scott. " A guy with brown hair and brown eyes smiles. His hands are in his jean pockets and he's wearing a jacket over his blue shirt. 

I look over at the next guy who's staring at the lab supplies in amazement. " Oh! I guess it's my turn. I'm Peter Park. " He holds out his hand to shake mine with a smile. 

I nervously look at it and slowly reach out to shake his hand. We shake hands and I smile around at everyone. My eyes fall on the last guy. He seems more nervous and jumpy then the rest. " I'm uh, I'm Bucky. " He says quickly and quietly. 

" Nice to meet you Bucky. " His hair is longer then every other guys. It's brown and he's got a slight fuzz of a beard on his face. He's wearing leather gloves and a brown leather jacket. " Are you... are you the Bucky that Steve always talks about? " I ask while glancing at Steve. " The one that served with him? " 

Bucky tenses slightly and nods. " Um, Yeah. I'm that Bucky. " 

" It's cool to finally meet you. " I smile. 

I like these guys. 

Maybe strangers aren't that bad. 

Maybe.
