The record player was on as loud as it was able to be. The music wasn't very modern, but listening to Frank Sinatra was better then cleaning in silence. A lot of things in the house wasn't very modern but money was constantly tight due to her father trying his best to go on the least amount of missions as possible along with her step mother and her sort-of sister Wanda. Nicola cleaned her room even though it wasn't as dirty as a normal fourteen year old's room. The desk has some things not in its place, some dirty clothes were shoved in the corner, the blankets on her bed needed folded, and her new printed out pictures needed hanged. Her friend MJ would applaud her for the neatness because hers was covered in sketches and indie music posters. The loud knock hit the door a couple of times, and her heart skipped a beat for a second. She wasn't scared it just took her by surprise.

The knock was in a song type rhythm. Nobody living in the house would do that but one person. She quickly looked through the peep hole and Nicola restrains from clapping her hands. "Uncle Steeeeeeeeeeeve!"She almost catapulted to him after the door opened but Jasmine, who had a present in her hand, was in the way and she didn't want to hurt her. "Stevie Nicks, my favorite niece of all!" He said excitedly. He only knew who that was by Jasmine giving a brief synopsis of popular artists over time, and Fleet Wood Mac was one of them. "Is Bucky and Nat home?" He asks, Nicola shook her head and moved away from the door to flip the record. They both started to walk in as she told them they were still at the office. "Wanda?" He asks. "I have no clue. Unless she joined some after school activity but that is rare." Steve nodded in understanding.

They all sat down in the leather sofas and Steve sat the present down on the table. "So whats our Nikki been up to?" Jasmine asked. "Not much. Just hanging out with my friends, shopping with Wanda and Mom, annoying dad all the fun stuff." Jasmine gave a subtle laugh and a smile from Steve popped though. "Is Buck and Nat on a mission?" Even though he didn't show it he was kind of disappointed the whole family wasn't here. "Yeah, something small I guess. They'll be home tomorrow and Wanda will be back soon, I think. She was going to bring a pizza and I was going to have my two friends over."  Steve starts to nod his head. "Sounds like a plan to me. I don't wanna intrude on your fun though. Here this present is for you." He scooted it across the table and Jasmine smiled in anticipation. "You can stay all we were doing was watching a movie. And you really don't need to keep buying me a present every time you come visit." She sheepishly laughs.

It was a decently big box. Not super big but not super small. Once Nicola unwrapped the box to find a older typewriter inside she had to cover her mouth of happiness. Getting up to hug them both at the same time , something her small body struggled to do, she thanked them over and over. "Thank you guys so much. I can't wait to show MJ and Peter." Her smile was wide and just as ironic as time could get the knock on the door grabbed their attention. Nicola barely got to the door when it open and all you could hear was "Michelle you just can't-" as MJ walks though the door. Peter Parker  follows behind as he cuts himself off mid sentence. One of the many things he did not expect was Steve Rogers to be in his best friends living room. If it was any other place he would not have been as shocked but he was not allowed to let Nicola know who Peter was. Steve rose and eyebrow as to say "really Peter?" nonchalantly.

Wanda eventually shows up, surprised to see Jasmine and Steve playing Jenga in the dining room with the high schoolers. She had several pizzas in hand and at the sight of it dumped the wooden pieces in the box and pulled up a chair for her to sit.
The night was enjoyable and went on for longer than they'd care to admit. The movie they ended up watching resulted in an asleep MJ on the floor, Wanda who left half way through to sleep in her room, Jasmine who was snuggled up on Steve on the sofa, and a almost asleep Nicola who was falling on Peters shoulder slowly. He needed to use the bathroom but didn't want to get up. He looked around the room to see Steve still wide awake watching the movie. Even though Nicola weighs nothing to Peter, he moved her slowly and carefully just so she wouldn't wake up.

Peter came out of the bathroom almost letting out a screech. Steve stood there leaning against the wall waiting for him to come out. "You are completely going against Bucky orders right now. What if he walked through that door and saw you?" Peter, who was barely awake and a little startled, stared at him and blinked his eyes. "This wasn't my fault. It was either this or be really suspicious. Besides I like this option better." His pale face warms up a little bit. "He knows I'm friends with her and I've been here before. So not entirely against his orders."

"Does she know?"
"No."
"What about the internship."
"Yes but that's all she knows. She only knows that I have an internship with Mr.Stark."
"You can't mess this up Queens."
"I won't. Now let me go back before she wakes up."
