Chapter 32 - 8 Months

The next day they opened their café as usual but someone was waiting outside for Luci. It was his other close friend Ancient One.

Luci: Where were you??

Ancient One: At least let me take a seat.

Luci just gestured her to take a seat and went inside to bring her regular. He knew too damn well what she was going to order. After some time he walks out of the kitchen with her favorite. Luci also took a seat in front of her.

Ancient One: I have been busy.

Luci: Why what happened?

Ancient One: Some of my disciples have turned on me.

Luci: Kill them, it will be easy to deal with.

Ancient One: It is not that easy, they are slippery like eels and very good at hiding.

Luci: Boring.

Ancient One: Don't worry I didn't come to bore you with my boring stuff.

Luci: So what you want?

Ancient One: Can you call Maria I want to talk with her.

Luci takes out his phone and calls Maria.

Maria: Good morning bro.

Luci: Good morning sis, can you come to my café now?? Ancient One wants to talk with you.

Maria: Give me 5 minutes.

After saying that Maria cuts the call and after another 10 minutes of waiting Maria drives up to the café in her car. Luci was actually shocked that she was able to come so quickly. She got out of the car and she had some dark circles under her eyes.

Luci: What happened to you?

Maria: Apart from not being able to sleep, nothing much.

Luci: Ohhh… so who's the lucky guy??

Maria: I was not having sex I was working overnight you dumbass.

Ancient One: If both of you are done can I talk with you now??

Maria: Yes, sure.

Ancient One: You are playing with powers that you can't even imagine to control.

Maria: I don't know what you are talking about.

Ancient One: You know very well what I am talking about and you shouldn't have dug up that thing. Some things should be always out of reach of us humans.

Maria: …..Okay, we did that. But that was a long time ago why are you talking about that now?

Ancient One: Because that thing was stored away before and nobody started harnessing its power like you are doing.

Maria: I don't want to mess with it but I am being ordered by my superiors.

Luci: Wait what the hell are you both talking about??

Ancient One: The Tesseract. Your sister here is using that to create weapons.

Luci: Oh well humans are always known to kill each other.

Maria: For your information, I don't even want to get close to that stuff but orders are orders.

Ancient One: Just be safe around it, with Luci here even when things get ugly everything will be fine.

Luci: What do you mean by that?

Ancient One: Nothing you should be worried about.

Luci: Ok, then I need to start preparing everything before the customers start to pop in.

Maria: Luci I don't have any energy I am going upstairs to take a nap.

Luci: Sure sis, this is your home too.

After that Maria goes upstairs and Luci goes inside the kitchen to prepare everything and Ancient One keeps herself busy with her food.

(A/N: I am using this time skip because only thing happens during this time. Steve Rogers was awakened from his deep slumber on the ice during this time. Since he was already awakened, I decided to skip that so that I can move up to 1st Avengers movie.)

~TIMESKIP 8 MONTHS~

Currently, Luci and his girls were laying on the roof of their café. Today they have decided to close their café early so that they could spend some time together. Last 8 months was completely peaceful for the 3 of them, Luci was completely sure now that he had already jinxed himself. 4 months ago Tony visited their café for the 1st time. At first, he was completely shocked when he found that even the Ruin Princess worked there and later when Nat proved to him that she was not a spy he had his jaw hanging on the floor which was quite funny for both Luci and Bella.

~FLASHBACK 4 MONTHS~

Tony: So you have been telling the truth for all this time?

Nat: Yes.

Tony: I have never imagined that S.H.I.E.L.D. would appoint a café waitress as their agent.

Nat: I have told you before I was filling in someone else's shoe. Maria is my sister-in-law.

Tony: But it was still unusual.

Nat: Ok, enough of this tell me how do you like our café??

Tony: To be honest I wasn't expecting this from a café but this has surpassed my expectations. I might become a regular now.

Nat: Sure we would definitely like that.

Tony: I think Pepper would definitely like this.

Nat: So you guys are dating?

Tony: Yes I asked her out after the incident of Stark Expo.

Nat: Congratulations.

~FLASHBACK OVER~

After that Tony and Pepper have also become regular in their café. Most of the time Tony would come in his suit which would attract even more customers to their café. Pepper would always come with all her security and some time with Tony. Every time Tony came on a date with Pepper he would reserve the whole café.

Back to Luci and his girls they were currently making out on the room. Luci and the girls stopped and looked upwards.

Bella: I still can't believe that so much time has passed.

Luci: Babe, time doesn't mean anything to us.

Nat: That can be normal for both of you but I still find it uneasy sometimes.

Luci: But aren't you happy with us?

Nat: Yes, of course, I am. I will never regret that.

Luci: Then, that is your answer. If you can stay happy, that only matters nothing else counts.

Nat: I guess you are right.

Bella: Don't worry Nat, we will be always with you.

Nat: I know.

They were about to resume their activities when suddenly Luci's phone started to ring. Luci took a look and saw that it was Maria. He answers the call.

Luci: What's up sis??

Maria: Bro, I f*cked up….
