       Bucky stopped for a second deeply breathing and looked up. “I did not turn into a cat, no. But I’ve been used without any mean for me to defend myself. And some took advantage of that to spit it all out on me, their enemy as much as their weapon.” He closed the door behind them and walked down the few stairs. “Don’t be a cat and get used to it. It’s just for a few days before we find something good for you.”  

Aiden paused in turn and tilted his head at Bucky’s explanation, “Oh... That sounds heavy.” he replied after a moment, “And like a very long story which I’ll maybe wanna hear at a different time.” Best not to bring the mood down too much in this moment of relaxation. “Though if it makes you feel better I can share some shitty stories too.” he added, aiming for a little levity, “Pfft, I get hungrier even faster when I’m not a cat, teenagers have huge appetites y’know.”

       Vision tilted his head. “I think this might be a point of view, depending on the person. At least from common knowledge, I have of people.” The android seemed however interested in what Aiden had to say next. “Aura reader? This is an interesting skill.” He smiled and looked down. “That maybe is because I’m… not really human, or alive. Only my mind is, somehow. I’m an android, with an entity in my head who allow me to live like a human being.” 

He scoffed, “Yea well the amount of people who won’t cross my path doesn’t bare thinking about; it’s its own kind of power.” Aiden added dryly. He nodded (as best a feline could) and proceeded to explain, “Yea, it’s kinda like everyone has a cloud around’em, and they’re all different colours but those colours mean something to me; it tells me what kind of person they are.” Aiden blinked slowly at the other’s explanation and made a ‘huh’ noise, “That’s... That’s weird, but it’s far from the craziest thing around here, right?”

       Bucky found a smile. “Oh, actually I know what it is like.” These Winter Soldier days. Just because he was a toy, a weapon, they used to speak pretty bad things to him, the American boy. “ I’m still gonna feed you, that’s what I’m doing right now, buying you your chicken.” 

Aiden paused for a second, tail perking up as he blinked, “How? I mean unless you can turn into a cat too? Buuuuut you don’t seem all that feline.” Maybe a great big dog instead? “Yay,” he pranced a few steps, “Cause I haven’t eaten for two days and I am starving!” Living as a street cat was not fun.

       Vision smiled. “Indeed. But you seem very pessimistic, my friend.” He continued to brush him softly. “Well, this is not every day I have to meet someone like you, a cat whom I can speak with for the matter.”

“I’m a black cat... the embodiment of bad luck.” he added with a sigh, “Plus I can read people, for every good person I see there are ten times more bad ones.” He tilted his head a little, aiming to get a brush over his ear, “Your aura’s funny too, not in a bad way just... different.”

       “You know I learnt while having the chance to live among humans… That home isn’t necessarily a place. It’s more the people, who make it like home. You can find two different houses, if it isn’t warm enough inside, it would not be worth to call it home, right?” He spoke while moving gently the brush on his neck. “Thank you, Aiden. I’m honored. It’s nice to meet you.”

Aiden sighed, “Yea well you got to live among’em. Friends and love is sweet and all but it won’t keep you warm in the middle of the night when you’re stuck outside on your own.” Okay maybe he was a little bitter about his living situation but it wasn’t like he could do much about it. He blinked a few times before purring softly, “Huh, no one’s ever been honoured around me before.”

Well, the fact that he was a mutant made a little more sense, but he didn’t like that he could read his ‘aura.’ He was still a little wary of any sense of magic or abilities that could tap into his thoughts and feelings. “I’d rather you not,” he muttered, turning and grabbing the pot of coffee. He needed all of it if he was going to have a conversation with a cat.

Arran stuck his head again when he heard the guy mutter, not noticing his face was no covered in powdered sugar, “I kinda can’t help it, it just happens. I tend it ignore it most of the time but here I was enjoying my pyramid of donuts and you came in like a bad cloud. Couldn’t help it.” his tail swished a little, “Sure you don’t want a donut? They go good with coffee. Oh! Could you put a little coffee in a bowl for me Mister? I’d do it myself but, no thumbs.”

Clint stood completely dumbfounded by the fact that he just saw a cat talk. Sure, he’d seen a lot of crazy things in his day - aliens come out of a portal in the sky, an Asgardian beast running through HQ chasing Mjolnir - but a talking cat…..that was new. “Uh….no….”

Aiden tilted his head and started laughing, “I’d forgotten how funny it was when people first see me talk.” he paused a moment to take another bite and added, “Suit yourself. I’m a mutant by the way, actually a guy, this is just my thing. That and reading aura and boy mister you are streeeeeeeesed.”

Okay, Clint knew he was sleep deprived, but did he just see a cat sing and start eating donuts? “What the fuck….?”

Shit... Aiden wasn’t sure if everyone in this place was allowed to hear him talk, he needed to be more careful but, donuts! “Uhhh... Meow?” he half-asked, “Ahh to hell with it, hey there, want a donut?”

[luckiestblackcat]

“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a load of donuts piled like a tree!!” Aiden sang, grabbing his fifth donut and chowing down.

       James cracked a smile at Aiden’s commentary. Yeah, love was complicated but simple at the same time. There was no real definition, in his opinion at least. “Yes. It’s all that matters.” and it was, in a special corner of his mind. “Okay.” he spoke before leaving.

“And people have so much trouble with it.“ he chuckled, “You’d be amazed what people say to you when they think you’re a dumb animal who can’t understand.” He followed Bucky, looking up, “More importantly... you’re still gonna feed me right?“ Otherwise he’d have to scavenge breakfast.

[luckiestblackcat]

       “Yes.” Vision nodded with a polite smile. “We can say times have changed and it can be maybe infortunate that the old Egyptian gods are no longer worshipped around the world. Maybe you woud have a better time around here.” He tilted his head. “Maybe you should start thinking about a home somewhere? Somewhere you would feel safe and preserved and loved.” The android gently obeyed and brushed him a little to the left. “You can call me Vision.”

Arran huffed and stretched, his claws coming out for a moment before retracting, “Yea sure lemme get right on trying to find a home with all the money I don’t have.” he deadpanned, “I used to have a job but when all this hero stuff kicked off I had to stop it... The pay was crap anyway. Most people don’t even want their fortunes told or aura read nowadays.” he sighed as he other moved his hand a little, “Vision?” he cracked an eye open and looked the guy over, “Weird name. It suits you. I’m Aiden.”

       Bucky frowned and looked down at Aiden. “What? No. … Well, if this is what you like, sure, but… not necessarily. You don’t have to find someone like you on many points. This is a personal feeling, you can get whoever you like. I’m sticking with Natasha because I need someone like me and understands. But that’s not for everyone, I guess.” he spoke while getting his money and put a sweatshirt on his body. “Alright, don’t mess with them. I wanna find them right where they were.” 

“Oh...” he heaved a sigh, “Love sounds so complicated. I don’t think I’m gonna bother.” Besides, he spent most of his time as a cat, what was he gonna do, knock up a stray? Not likely. “You seem to like her and she seems to like you so I guess that’s all that matters.” He scoffed a little as he padded after Bucky, “Please, I don’t have claws when I’m a guy, I’ll just wear them then put them back. I think they’ll be too big anyway, but I just know they’re comfy.”

“no i don’t think i was aware how hard it is to scratch your own cheek, you know seeing that i’m not a cat.” she laughed. “well i guess you can keep that brush if you really want, i have other ones. i would just like to see you try to carry that thing out of here. it is just as big as you.”

“Cindy,” Aiden looked up at her, his tail flicking up as well, “Cats, myself included, are tenacious sons of bitches so trust me, I will drag this thing through New York to my Hidey-Hole if I have to.” Or he could just turn back into a human but telling her that didn’t sounds as impressive though, “Thank though... Y’know, for the brush.” He didn’t have a lot of nice things.

Hell’s Kitchen’s Thanksgiving

[luckiestblackcat]

“Just …let’s eat okay ? Just take this to be thankful to still be …here and alive and for once together okay?  “ Karen spoke.  “ And then you all can go back to being heroes for hire and what not “

He hated holidays, always reminded him he was pretty damn alone. But, if he could scrounge some free food it might be worth it. Thanks to an ajar door he sat down on a chair, looked at the woman who’d spoke and said (in his best ca voice) “Meow.”

[luckiestblackcat]

sgt-barnes‌:

       “Well, her boyfriend?” he cocked an eyebrow. The next part wasn’t really something he liked to talk about and James rubbed the back of his head. “Put like that… Yeah. We just understand each other and we know exactly the mind state of the other. She knows I’m not a good person and is the only one who understands that. I would’ve killed myself a long time ago if it wasn’t for her.” he admitted. “That’d be awkward. If you do, do it while I’m not there, thanks.”

“Huh...” Aiden was quiet for a few moments. Times like this it occurred to him that being young and spending most of his time feline hadn’t given him much perspective on the world and people in it. “Does that mean I can only get together with someone who can turn into an animal? Cause I met a guy who could look like a wolf once but he was kinda a dick.” he explained, “And you may not be a good person, but you have a good aura, that’s usually better.” he added lightly, “Pfft, alright, four-legged it is. But I’m stealing some of your clothes to wear when you go out, some of’em looked comfy.”

       “Yes. They were considered as a symbol of protection, under the deity Bastet, who was, for the believers, reincarnated in these same cats to protect her people. Mostly because they were chasing rats and other pests in grain silos and so prevent diseases to spread, also killing snakes around temples. They were mummified in some homes and taken care of.” he explicated. the android didn’t ask any question and took the brush to, well, brush Aiden on the back, gently.

He lifted his head and actually listened to the guy, blinking a few times as he absorbed the information, “Huh... So basically cats being cats was helpful and they ended up worshipping them because of it?” he heaved a sigh, “Wish that was the case now. Most of the time people just avoid me and some dicks try and kick me. I mean that doesn’t happen at SHIELD but it’s not like I have a home there.” he closed his eyes and a small purr escaped him as the brush met his back, “Ohhhhh, little to the left Dude.”

[luckiestblackcat]

       He smiled. “Many would want to be a cat themselves if you’d present them that life this way. After all, cats were sacred in Ancient Egypt, considered like… another form of deity, if I can use such a term.”

“Really?” he asked, blinking, “I wish I lived in ancient Egypt then... Cause right now the closest I get to being a God is not having to eat leftovers out of bins.” he sighed, “That and finding this brush, you wanna get in on this?“ he asked, poking the brush with a paw.
