Who: Bucky Barnes, Wanda Maximoff.
When: Friday night, toward the end of the gala.
Where: Stark gala, the ladies' restroom. (That's right.)
What: Bucky's had a few too many and isn't doing so well. Wanda discovers him in the wrong bathroom. Wackiness ensues?
Rating: Literally no idea. Assume R for swearing, if nothing else.
Wanda was not having the best night. She didn't go fancy places or do fancy things unless she could somehow con someone else into footing the bill. Soirees like the one Stark was putting on cost money, and oh right, guess what she didn't have? Lots of extra money. But with the entrance fee and the food covered, all she really had to buy was the dress, and that was what the internet was for - finding dresses marked down to a price that wouldn't give a person an aneurysm. The problem with the internet, however, was a certain lack of description that went along with the garments for sale. For instance: the page had read 'soft stretch jersey sleeveless dress.' It had not said 'this pencil skirt will constrict movement and make you generally wish you'd gone for something voluminous - like a Scarlett O'Hara gown made of all the curtains - instead.' And the shoes. God, the shoes. Clearly the work of the devil. This? This was why Wanda Maximoff was not a fancy lady who wore fancy dresses. She had no patience for this bullshit, even if it had looked awesome on the model. There were not supposed to be men in the ladies' room. This was precisely why Wanda had retreated there - because she needed to take off the damned heels and rest her feet. Women would understand. Guys would just look askance, like something was clearly wrong with anyone who wanted to pull out a pair of fold-a-flats at a classy party. So. When she swung the door open and found what was clearly a dude in the middle of the ladies', she did what any sensible person would do -- she opened the door again and checked the sign. Nope. Absolutely the right door. "Lost, transgendered, or drunk?" Wanda asked. Because clearly it was one of the three, right? |
