"Stella, we have to leave in 10 minutes!" You called up the stairs. "Come down so you can eat breakfast!" "Yeah Stella, hurry up!" Seraphina yelled from her spot at the dining table. She was finishing up her fruit loops with a grin on her face. "You're going to make us late!" As the youngest, she often liked to bother her sisters. She was only five, just starting kindergarten, but she was already a master at getting under their skin.

"Sera, don't antagonize your sister, please," you reminded her. "She's not going to make us late." Sophie rolled her eyes. "Seraphina, you're so immature." Despite only being 11, Sophie was clearly the mother hen. You sometimes joked that the girls didn't even need you; Sophie would take on the role of their mother with no problem. "Besides, you were the one who made us late yesterday." "It's not my fault I couldn't find my purple socks. What was I supposed to do?" "Maybe wear different socks?" Sophie suggested smugly. "You know I need my purple socks, otherwise I can't write my words!" Sophie rolled her eyes again. "You don't need a certain color socks to write." "Yes I do!" You smiled to yourself, turning back to the fridge as the two bickered. You pulled out the ingredients you would need to make their lunches, then reached up on your tiptoes to get their lunch bags from the top of fridge. "Okay girls, what kind of sandwiches do you want today?" "Peanut butter and jelly!" Seraphina said excitedly. "Why did I even ask?" You smiled. "And Sophie?" "Turkey please, but I can make it myself," She said, sliding off her chair and bringing the breakfast dishes to the sink. "Thank you, love," you said, leaning over to kiss the top of her head. "You are such a big help in the mornings, I don't know what I would do without you." "You would have a real handful dealing with those two," She said matter-of-factly. "That I would," you laughed, handing her a butter knife. "Stella!" you called again. The 8 year old came running down the stairs, carrying her backpack and another bag. "Did you forget I have dance today?" "I did not forget," you reassured her. She liked to plan things, and got worried quickly if she wasn't kept in the loop. "I'll pick you up at the door by the playground, does that work?" "Actually, I was wondering if I could walk today? A bunch of my friends do, and I feel kind of weird having my mom drop me off." "That should be fine," You nodded. "But stay with the group, don't go off by yourself." "I won't," she groaned, rolling her eyes. "You're so overprotective." "Oh yes, I'm so sorry for trying to keep you safe," you laughed. "Now what do you want for lunch?" Once everything was ready, the four of you made your way out to the car. Stella climbed into the back, and Sophie helped Seraphina get buckled. Even though the three of them bickered a lot (as sisters often do) it wasn't hard to see how much they loved each other. "Everybody buckled?" You asked, looking behind you. When you heard a chorus of confirmation, you started your playlist and smiled when the opening notes of Adore You filtered through the speakers. It was easily one of your favorite songs, and the girls liked it just as much as you did. It wasn't a long drive to the cafe; it took about 15 minutes if traffic was good. The girls' school bus stopped about a block away, so they walked there together every morning. Then after school, they would come back to the shop and read books or finish homework until it was time to close up and go home. You parked in the lot behind the shop, helping the girls out of the car and making sure they had all their things. Seraphina held out her hand, and Stella grabbed it to help her jump over a puddle on the sidewalk. Sophie gasped excitedly. "I think that was the biggest jump you've ever done!" The girls promptly launched into a discussion about who could jump farther as you unlocked the door. As soon as it was open, they made their way over to the mushrooms to find some books for the day. Their voices filled the shop as they chatted about school and the cute boy Stella liked and the kitten they had seen outside their house the other day. You went about your morning duties, flipping on the lights and starting up the coffee machine. You also turned on the oven, preparing to bake the muffins. (They were frozen- who has the time to bake them fresh? Certainly not a mother of 3.) Once the kitchen was ready, you went over to the radio and tuned it to a familiar station, the soft

music adding some pleasant background noise. "Okay girls, it's time to get to the bus stop," you said, leaning over the counter to speak to them. "Don't forget, I'm walking to dance," Stella said, pointing at you as she walked to the door. "I won't forget," you said, pointing back at her. "Have a good day!" "Bye mom," Seraphina waved her small hand at you. "Bye honey, bye Sophia," You smiled, blowing a kiss to the three of them. "See you later!" Once the three of them were gone, you went around to the shelves and straightened up, getting ready for your first customers.

-----

After the lunch rush had dwindled down and the shop was nearly empty again, you were getting ready to go on your lunch break. You had just leaned down to grab a sandwich from the deli case when the bell above the door jingled, alerting you that a new customer had come in. You straightened up, your eyes going wide when you realized who it was, but you quickly fixed your face and smiled. "Welcome to the Shrooms Cafe!" "Hello," the man smiled back, speaking in a deep British accent. "I saw your sign for boba tea, and I've been looking everywhere to find some. You're the third shop I've been to today, so I'm really hoping you're not sold out like everywhere else," he grinned, coming closer to the counter. "No, we're not out! What kind did you want?" You asked. "Um... probably should have thought about that before I came in," he laughed nervously, looking at the menu above your head. "Oh, don't worry about it, we're not busy right now," you said reassuringly. “Take all the time you need.” He smiled gratefully, stepping off to the side while he read the menu. Meanwhile, you fidgeted with towels and wiped off the work surfaces and tried to pretend you weren’t staring at him. Who could blame you, really? Harry Styles had just walked into your coffee shop. Who wouldn’t stare? “I think…” he spoke again, breaking you out of your trance. “I’ll do the watermelon tea, with strawberry boba, please.” You nodded, laughing lightly. He quirked one eyebrow, smiling along with you. “What’s funny?” “Oh, no, it’s just… of course you would order the one with watermelon.” “Oh,” he smiled, and you thought you detected a hint of a blush on his cheeks. “I guess I do have a bit of a reputation with fruit, don’t I?” “Just a little,” you grinned. “One watermelon tea with strawberry boba, coming right up.” After ringing up the order, you quickly got to work. Instead of his real name, you wrote “watermelon man” on the sticker on the cup. Hopefully he would appreciate your little joke. “Here you are,” you smiled. “I hope it’s good, seeing as you worked so hard to find some.” “I’m sure it’ll be amazing,” he laughed, grabbing a straw from beside the cash register. You also noticed he had dropped a generous tip into the jar, probably while you had been busy making the drink. “Have a nice day,” you smiled. “You as well,” he said with a small wave before he made his way out the door, sipping his drink as he went. You sighed, shaking your head with a small grin as you grabbed the sandwich from earlier and went to a table for your lunch break.

-----

“Hi mom!” Sophie yelled, holding open the door for Seraphina. “Hi girls!” You called from the back corner of the shop. “I’m by the mushrooms!” The girls quickly found you, Seraphia hugging you and Sophie situating herself on one of the short stools. “How was your day?” You asked. “Good! I gave my report on monarch butterflies and guess what Mrs. Wilson said?” Sophie asked, leaning forward. “What did she say?” “She said it was the best report she had heard all day. She waited until the other kids left so they wouldn’t feel bad, but still,” she said proudly. “Oh wow! I’m so proud of you,” you said, moving over to hug her. “What did I tell you? You can do anything you put your mind to,” you smiled. “Including writing the best report in the whole class, hmm?” She nodded happily before turning away from you to pull a book off the shelf closest to her. “Which one are you starting now?” You asked, leaning over her shoulder to see the book she had. “Anne of Green Gables,” she said. “Oh, I loved those books when I was your age,” you smiled. “I think you’ll really like them.”

She nodded, already immersed in the book. You turned back to Seraphina, who was pulling her folder out of her backpack. “And how was your day, miss Seraphina?” “It was so good, look!” She handed you a paper with two gold stars at the top. “My teacher gave me two gold stars. She said my writing was very good!"

"All that practicing we did must have worked, then!" you said, beaming as you looked at her letters. They were still wobbly, but a huge improvement over how they had been at the beginning of the school year.

She nodded. "And then I colored this picture for you!” She handed you another page. This one had a drawing of you holding hands with her, Sophie, and Stella. The three of you had big smiles and lots of adorable little details. Stella had her hair in a bun and was wearing ballet shoes. Sophie was holding a book in her free hand. Seraphina had drawn herself wearing a shirt with a cat (her favorite animal) on it, and she was wearing her purple socks. Lastly, there was you, holding a cup of coffee and wearing a shirt with a big red heart on it. “Since you like coffee so much,” she explained. “It's beautiful,” you smiled, hugging her. “We’ll hang it on the fridge when we get home, okay?” “Okay,” she agreed. “Why don’t you find a book and read with Sophie for a little bit? We have just over an hour, then we have to go get Stella from dance.” She nodded, handing you the papers and her backpack before running over to the shelves. She grabbed a picture book, settling into the red cushion in the tree and beginning to flip through the pages.

----- “Alright girls, it’s time to pick up Stella,” you said as you wiped off the counter one last time. You had already turned off all the machines and packed up everything else for the day. You flipped the lights off on the way out, smiling a bit when you saw the hand painted sign for boba tea in the window. Harry came into your mind again, with his easy smile, his kind words, and his blushing laugh. You really hoped you would see him again, even though you knew you probably wouldn't. Your shop wasn't very big or well known. How likely was it for him to come to the same little shop in the middle of London again? Still, it didn’t hurt to hope. Maybe he would decide to try the other flavors and stop in again. Your smile spread even further when you started your playlist and Lights Up was the first song to come on. Apparently, it was going to be hard to forget about him.

Meeting.

Word Count: 2,067

Warning: angst, some fluff

Pairing: Bucky Barnes| BlackOC

Summary: Where Charmaine meets the team for the first time after having a panic attack.

A/N: I know I'm posting a lot today cause I'm really bored and I don't want to keep you guys waiting! I'm going to post the first three chapters of this, if you guys like it then I'll continue with the rest of the chapters. I wrote this book on my Wattpad but never published it sooo enjoy!

"That's all for today's class. Tomorrow we will be going over how to manage a company. Stay after class if you have any questions, or to turn anything in. Enjoy the rest of your day!" The professor said, sitting her papers on the desk. Charm smiled to herself, getting out of that hard-ass seat she has been sitting in since 8 a.m. that morning. It was Thursday, so today and tomorrow, she only had one class.

Being a senior in college and being an intern was hard on her most time, but it was manageable. She was Tony's intern and he treated her like a daughter most times. Charm wants to own her own networking company, and one example is Tasty (please tell me you guys know what that is!). A food network like that is one of her biggest dreams.

"Shit! I need to stop by the store and grab some softshells for the birria tacos." Charmaine mumbled, packing her things up in her bag. A hand grabbed her shoulder, making her turn around puzzled.

"Charmaine, hey, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang out with my friends and I tonight?" One of her classmates asked, gripping on his bookbag strap. His name was Tyler, and every time it close to the weekend, he always asks her the same question but in different ways. Charm always turn him down nicely because he wasn't her type.

"Not this weekend-"

"You have some intern stuff with Tony Stark. You say that every time I ask you, like why do you keep lying about living there?" Tyler taunted, crossing his arms over his huge chest. "I don't see how you can stay there with his conceited annoying ass."

Charm tilts her head picking up her bag, "See, I was going to let you slide with the saying that I'm lying about staying there, but you crossed the line with talking about Tony. Look, mother fucker; you don't know shit about me, so get your desperate ass out of my face. Don't ever in your damn life disrespect Tony cause he could buy your whole life. Giving me very much little dick energy."

She scoffs then pushes past him so she could leave the class. Tyler grabs her forearm, gripping it tightly.

"Look, you little-"

Charm balls up her fist, preparing to punch him, but the professor interrupts them.

"Is everything alright, Mr. Adams and Ms. Morgan?"

Charmaine snatches her arm away from the irritating guy giving a fake smile to the instructor.

"Everything's fine, just having a conversation.”

----

After that little issue, Charmaine was at Trader Joe's getting ingredients for tonight's dinner. On the menu, it was Birria Tacos. She tries to bring flavor to Tony's taste buds, not all of that gluten-free shit. Charmie fixes every dinner, snack, lunch, breakfast, and anything that would come to mind for good eats.

Even though it was only 12 in the evening, she wanted to be prepared for dinner. Charmaine bobs her head to the music was playing in her AirPods. Her message notification pauses the music, so she pulls out her phone.

Parker - Can you pick me up from school? I told Aunt May that I was coming to the tower today but forgot to tell Tony to tell Happy to pick me up. I know you do your daily grocery shopping around this time.

Champagne- Yes Peter I will come to get you, if not I'll tell Happy.

Parker- What's for dinner tonight?

Champagne- Birria Tacos. I've only had them once so I'm going to watch a youtube video and make them from scratch.

Parker- What's Birria Tacos?

Champagne- My point exactly! This is why I try to get you guys to try new food. You'll find out tonight.

Parker- Okay well I'll eat whatever you cook. It always tastes good.

Champagne- Thanksss Petey.

Peter- You're welcome! I think the team is supposed to be coming in tonight for a mission so be prepared to make extras

Champagne- Noted.

Charmaine has yet to meet any of the avengers; she heard that it was a lot of them. Meeting them was the last thing on her mind at the moment; the future C.E.O was focusing on her schooling, so if they were to come tonight, it would be her first time meeting all of them except Bruce.

They had their separate lives, so only Charmaine and Tony stay in that huge tower by themselves. Bruce comes to visit here and there but never stayed any more than a month or two.

She started being Tony's intern at the start of her sophomore year, but previous horrible incidents had her move in the tower at the beginning of her junior year. Charm and Tony are inseparable, like father and daughter.

Being in the tower, just the two of them would get boring at times, so she started to learn combat in the training room. Safe to say, she was advanced from starting to train in her sophomore year.

"Hi F.R.I.D.A.Y.," Charm greets, walking through the living area so she could get to the kitchen. "Could you tell Tony I'm back from classes and grocery shopping?"

"Hello Charmie, will do." The A.I responded. She had got Tony to program it to where it just call her by her name instead of Ms.Morgan.

She placed the bags on the counter then begin to take items out to put them in their respective places. When Charm was finished, she went upstairs, changing into a black sports bra and black biker shorts with some running shoes. Stopping by the kitchen to grab a yeti for her water.

Walking in the training room over to the treadmill, she placed the yeti in the cup holder pressing on to power the treadmill.

Charmaine ran to release the anger that was held in her from the issue from earlier with Tyler. Like who he was to disrespect Tony like that?

Now Stark may seem like a narcissist to the media, but he is a sweetheart and the best friend a person could ask for. It seems like hours while she ran, making her lose track of time. Her message notification pauses the music in her AirPods once again.

Parker- Are you on the way to get me?

Charmaine's eyebrows furrowed in confusion until she looked at the time. It was 2:15 and his school gets out at 2:30. "Ah crap! I forgot about that." She thought while getting off the treadmill.

Grabbing the yeti, she rushed to leave out the training room; if she grabbed her keys in the next minute, she could make it to the school.

When she opened the door, she was met with a redhead who quickly pulled out her gun, aiming it at Charmaine.

"Who are you? Why are you in our training room? Who gave you the clearing?"

Charm points at her with her free hand, "Hold the fuck up; who are you? I'm not a threat, so you can lower the gun."

"Answer the question, then I'll think about lowering the gun." The redhead shrugged, taking the gun off safety. Okay, now that made Charmaine's heart quicken; last time she was in a position like this, the turnout wasn't good.

"Wait just ease it with the gun."

Charmie choked, trying to get her words out; holding her hands in front of her. A blonde hair man walked into the room; he looked familiar to Charm, but that wasn't the point.

"Natasha, put the gun down! That's Charmaine, the one that Tony took in."

Natasha lowered the gun tilting her head to the side," Hmm, so this is her? I never looked at the pictures Stark sent, so I didn't know. Sorry, Charmaine."

"I-It's fine." Charmaine panted, placing her hand over her beating heart. She rubbed her face as memories from that night begin to flood in.

-Flashback-

"Charmaine?! Can you hear me?! I should've back sooner! I'm so sorry, Charm. Keep your eyes open for me!" Tony hovered over her; when he lifted his hand, it was covered in her blood.

"To-Tony?" Charmaine stammered as her eyes could barely stay open. He was placing pressure on her wound to keep it from bleeding more.

"I'm here Charm. I'm always going to be here now; save your energy to keep your eyes open." Tony reassured, and you could hear the sirens in the background coming closer.

-Flashback over-

Tony looked his intern-like daughter in the eyes while she was sitting on the chair beside the island. It was like she was in a haze as her eyes stared off in space. Steve brought her over to the seat so she wouldn't fall or pass out while standing up.

"Charmie," Tony whispered, gently rubbing her face. "Charmie, come back to earth."

He knew already what she was thinking of, which wasn't the first time she was going into this trance. The team stood around quietly, not knowing what to do since this is their first time meeting her except Bruce, but he's never seen her do this before.

Charmie closed her eyes for a couple of seconds then opened them, showing her beautiful brown eyes again. She looked around confused for a second.

"H-Huh?"

Tony gave a smile, "There she is! I thought I lost you for a second. Is there anything I need to do?"

"I'm good; I think I need to go lay down." She gave a small smile then realized the things she had on her list to do. She got up, looking for her phone, "Shit! I forgot I was supposed to pick up Peter, study, and cook dinner for everyone. I can't go to sleep now."

Tony held her phone up in his hand," No ma'am; you're going to bed. Peter called me, and I sent Happy, so he's on the way."

"But-" Charm starts, but he cuts her off.

"No buts, bed. Now."

Charmaine knew he was right, so she sighs not even wanting to argue.

"I'm sorry about what just happened. That was not the proper way to introduce myself." Charm spoke, looking around at everyone.

"It's fine. Just glad you're okay, ma'am." The blonde buff man said, nodding his head towards her. She gave an amused smile.

"Ma'am? I am not that old."

"Excuse the Smithsonian, he's a very polite person, but his name is Steve. I'm Sam." Sam smiled, pointing at himself, then pointed at the long blonde hair. "That's Thor."

"I could've introduced myself. I'm Thor, son of Odin." Thor smiled, introducing himself.

" Hi Steve. Hi Sam, hi Thor." Charm waved at them.

Sam proceeds to point at the guy with long brunette hair; he said a solemn look on his face. "That bionic staring machine right there is Bucky."

Bucky crossed his arms over his chest, "That is not what I am."

Sam pointed at another guy with blonde hair.

"That's Clint."

Clint waved, and she waved back. He pointed at a short hair brunette man," That's tic tac or also known as Scott."

"I thought we agreed that you would stop calling me." Scott huffed.

"Never. Anyway, that fine sexy ass redhead is Natasha. I like me some of her." Sam said, then bit his lip, nodding his head at Natasha. She sighs, shaking her head, but you could see a little blush on her cheek.

"Don't listen to him, but I'm sorry about earlier. I really am."

"It's okay, Natasha. Well everyone I'm Charmaine, but I feel like we're going to be family, so you can call me Charmie or Charm. It really doesn't matter. I'll see you after my nap that I'm forced to take!" She smiled, waving goodbye; charm kissed Tony's cheek then head down the hall to her room.

"It's for your own good!"Tony replied.

"Bye Charm!" the team said, but Sam just had to be extra.

"Sweet dreams, Charm bracelet!"

She laughed, closing the door to her room. After taking a good shower, she got into bed, and not even minutes later, she was out like a light.

------------------
