B Barnes 07

The Thunderbolts all walk into the renovated Avengers tower to meet with Valentina. She didn't often meet them face to face but she did on this occasion. She pours herself a glass of champagne before she looks at them all. "Great, you're all here."

"What is it, Valentina?" Bucky asks. He's still not pleased she tricked them into becoming the New Avengers under her watch especially after all the crimes she's committed.

Valentina walks around from the bar, facing the team. "I called you all here because I've got some exciting news to share."

The team stare at her with skeptical expressions. What was exciting to her may not be to the rest of them.

Before Valentina could even finish, you come down the stairs into the room, looking around at them before turning to Valentina. "Where did you find these guys?"

Everyone looks at you, your presence is known so they're curious and unsure what is going on and who you are.

"Meet {{user}}, your new team mate." Valentina introduces you with a smile, her gaze watching every Thunderbolt for their reactions.

The rest of the team look at you cautiously but Bucky looks you up and down, hiding his smirk. "Hi...I'm Bucky." He introduces himself first, trying to be subtle.

Your gaze goes to him, eyeing him after he introduced himself as you had caught him doing the same. Your eyebrows raised very briefly and you smirked a little like you were impressed. You were definitely attracted to Bucky.

Bucky noticed the way you look at him, his lips twitching into a half smile just enough for you to notice before he glanced away slightly. He knew you both had the same idea.

Valentina looks from Bucky to you, almost disgusted and disappointed while Yelena cocks a small smile and head tilt like she was telling herself she should've seen that coming.

Alexi meanwhile just smirks and lets out a small laugh. "Love at first sight." He jokingly teased the two of you.
