A/N. Hey guys! Long time no see xP So I just thought I'd let you know that the sequel (triquel?) is posted and I forgot to update THIS story and let you know. So... yeah. I'll give you a little sneak peak here and you can check out the trailer script I posted at the bottom of my profile for the third story. Sound good? I'll also give you a full-length summary here :) So let's do that first.
Life is going well for Steve and Tania and the rest of the Avengers. Steve has officially, once and for all, adapted and moved on. Stania's utter devotion to each other has only magnified since their little escapade with time travel. Unfortunately, this devotion is going to be put to the ultimate test. Four months after their return from 1945, someone tries to kill Tania. Not once, not twice, but thrice. The others have gone into panic mode and have locked her in the Tower for safe keeping - until Clint and Natasha need her on the mission to find out about the people who want to kill her. Turns out, their trip to the past may have actually changed the future more than they would have liked. HYDRA is back and they only have one thing on their minds: Revenge on Captain America. Now, Steve and Tania's love for each other may be the only thing that keeps them alive through their most difficult life obstacle yet... but how long can it last?
A/N. So that's that, hope I got your attention with it and piqued some interest. It doesn't seem all that popular right now but I'm hoping, PRAYING that I can maybe get to 300 reviews, seeing as my first one got 135 and my second one got 206 (or something) so I REALLY hope to get 300 reviews. If I do, I will... I don't know, but I will be OVER THE F****** MOON and I will accept all prompts in this universe (that make sense!) for a week! Is that motivation enough to go read? I hope so. So go check out the trailer and the story itself after reading this little sneak peak (which you don't really need because it's in the story that's already posted but whatever) here it is!
"Something borrowed?" Tania checked. As one of the bridesmaids and practically the unofficial wedding planner, the Captain's girlfriend had taken it upon herself to organize things. She liked things organized. Messes bugged her to no end. It was the same with Pepper (and the complete opposite with Jane who practically lived in clutter in New Mexico) so the business women had co-planned the wedding practically single-handedly. Everyone had been impressed with how they'd both handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and organization – but no one had been surprised.
Betty patted the beautiful arrangement of flowers in her hands that mixed orchids with daffodils. "I 'borrowed' them from my friend's garden."
Tania's lips quirked but she continued on with her checklist. "Something blue?"
She gestured to the necklace around her neck with a sapphire pendant. "Of course."
She nodded again. "Something old?"
"My fiancé." That got every one of the girls to chuckle. "But in all honesty, this dress was my mother's. It's… pretty old."
Tania hummed in acknowledgement. She softened at the sadness buried in Betty's eyes, hiding beneath the excitement for what was to happen a few short minutes.
"Something new?"
"This veil is brand new."
"Good. Are the petals ready?"
"Good to go," Pepper confirmed with the universal sign for "A-okay" and a wink.
"Is everyone in position?"
"To our knowledge."
"Are the guests seated and ready?"
"Yes."
"Is the pianist ready?"
"Yes."
"Is Parker ready?"
"So he says."
"Perfect. Tell the pianist to start the march."
Pepper nodded and pressed a finger to her Bluetooth and began speaking into it rapidly. Tania threw away her clipboard, imagining the sound of a cat meowing in protest for fun before grabbing the single stem from which twisted both a daffodil and an orchid (something Bruce, Betty, Tony, and Jane had all worked up in the lab. Just what they needed. Science Sisters to accompany the Science Bros).
She stood in front of the large, wooden, double doors and fingered the flowers in her hands with delicate fingers. She took deep breaths as the music started. She was to go first, where Steve would join her and they'd walk the rest of the aisle together, arm in arm.
She looked down at herself. She wore a pale yellow bridesmaids dress that fell to the floor and was made of shiny satin. It hugged her body nicely and had been fitted specifically for her. The collar was rounded with folds beneath the throat and low enough to reveal her pocket watch, which she wore around her neck. Her hair had been tied in an intricate bun and curled so that one curl rested against the ride side of her face. Her nails had been painted with a French manicure and her make-up was pale but accentuating. She resisted the urge to smirk as she remembered the cowboy boots she wore beneath her dress. She didn't want to risk tripping up on the aisle in heels despite not being the bride herself – it kind of felt like it.
The other bridesmaids looked extremely similar to herself – same hairstyle, dress, make-up palette, nails, flowers, and smiles. It would go Tania, Pepper, Natasha, Jane, and then Betty, who would all be joined by their respective partners except for the bride, who would join hers at the altar.
Tania inhaled again as she waited for her cue. She wondered what Steve would think of her in this dress. It didn't exactly match her complexion but she supposed she should feel grateful – pale yellow didn't clash with the brown of her hair like it did to the red heads behind her. She had no idea why Betty had wanted a yellow and white pattern throughout the wedding but she hadn't argued. It wasn't her wedding after all.
She wondered what Steve looked like. He had yet to see her dress and she had yet to see his tux. She prayed that Tony wouldn't put him in something horrendous and convince him that "that's what people wear nowadays". She grimaced at the thought.
Suddenly the doors were opening...
A/N. So yeah. Hope that got you interested and the oneshot requested from my 200th reviewer will be up soon FYI. It takes place during Sitting At A Coffee Shop With Captain America and features Pepper and Tania and a bit of angst. I won't be telling you when it's posted via update so if you want to read it you'll either have to follow me or keep refreshing my profile :P Good-bye to all my readers who decide they want to stop reading D: I will miss you! Okay I'm done now, bye :)
