Cecelia rose a brow… ‘’you?… have rulesz?… since when’’ She asked as they. Drove off and away from the compound. She gave tony a suspicious look ‘’fine if i cant ask where… then I’ll ask this.. why?’’ She asked with a seriosu look, she was barely buzzed, but int hat moment she sobered up real quick. She was suspicious of all this, yes tony was impulsive, and a bit.. irritating.. and he so ties had good intentions.. but this was all very out of character in her option.. she didnt understand what his end game was here or where they were going and she did not like not kniwing.
Bucky jumped a bit, not expecting the girl to suddenly shout let alone jump up and bolt out of there.. ‘’not on a detail?.. what?’’ He questioned to himself.. he did not understand what had just happened.. he didnt know she was fired. So he thought something came up and fury told her to come in or something… he was abit… weirded out by the whole current situation but shook it off, if it was something he needed to know about she would ahve siad it, but clearly somehting was going on, and it wasnt his palce to say anythign about it.

Tony kept his eyes mostly on the road as he chuckled at Cecilia "Because I can that's why. And that salad isn't what I'd consider a first date, lunch date source of food, so since you got duped earlier, I happen to know a nice French place that will work wonders to make up for said mama boy's failure" he said with a bit of a smirk. "Besides it's the least i could do to prolong the hundred cats you plan on having in my compound. I do wonder though, if anyone on the team is allergic...." he remarked and trailed off a bit. Fortunately the half hour drive into New York didn't take long with Tony behind the wheel, and with Friday at the nav, she directed him the quickest way to the restaurant which would only take an additional fifteen minutes into the city.
Lillian went inside and called Fury directly from the living room on one of Tony's phones, her voice wasn't exactly quiet either but the man refused to back down. SHIELD was looking into the current target who had discovered her true identity and she was confined to the compound, not something Lily wanted to hear either. All because of her stupid famous brother she had to change her name, now even a photostatic veil to change her face or a ski mask was enough to convince Fury otherwise. Now Lily was out of a job and a life, or what she had of one. Lily went to Tony's liquor cabinet and grabbed what both siblings liked, a well aged single malt Scotch, only she took the entire hundred dollar bottle. Going back outside only sitting by herself as she flopped onto the grass and took a few big swigs from the bottle in her hand.

Cecelia rolled her eyes a bit at5 Tony’s Z words ‘’A you really dont need to get ems food,we have. Food at the compound. And B, what he hell siad id be living at the compund when i have al these cats? No way. I shall be living alone in a cottage far far away. Thats how the real cat ladys do it’’s he stated and joked a bit. Though honestly it ain’t that bad of an idea…. When they got tot he reasturant, Tony parked int he Valet parking, she internally groaned cause she knew valet parking meant this place was way to fancy for someone like her ‘’did we really need to come to some super fancy place?’’ She asked as he helped her out of his car and led her tot eh front doors.
(Idk what to do for bucky, so for now im not adding him. Ill add him on the next rpely)

Tony chuckled a bit at Cecilia "Oh really? So you're going to wait until you're retired from Avenging to a farm with a hundred or several hundred cats?" He teased at her. Tony pulled up to the front of the restaurant and got out, tossing the keys to the valet as he went and opened the car door for Cecilia and held out his arm as the valet went to park his car. "Well where did mama's boy take you? Probably some dive diner with an old gum chewing waitress that barely makes ends meet and works as a truck stop gas station too right?" He remarked/asked as they went inside. "Table for two" he told the hostess who then grabbed two menus and led them to a booth.
Lillian sat there for a few minutes, then noticed she was maybe forty feet from Bucky. Lily stood up a bit, the bottle that was a quarter gone, dangled at her side as she held it by its neck. Lily sauntered over to where Bucky was and plopped down beside him, pausing a moment before brushing hair out of her face. "I'm sorry for storming off like that" she said as she held the bottle with its base between her crossed legs. "Ive basically been fired and confined" she said. With Tony's phone in her hand, she showed Bucky the article 'Youngest Stark, an agent for SHIELD?' Read the headline with the article below. "Someone inside Hydra found out who i was, he didn't just expose me, he announced it world wide. Not only will that make me a target by Hydra but any enemy of SHIELD and the Stark family, hell the company. God knows what this will do to Tony's rep with his board of directors" she explained and took another drink. "I took my mother's name when I turned eighteen to get out of the Stark shadow, to make a life and a name for myself. So much for that, I'm back in my brother's shadow" she muttered and took a few more big swigs of scotch.

PFFTT please.. i can vanish anytime. I want to. My dad wont mind really.. he hates the fact that im even on the team let alone lviing with you all. He’d. Probably love it if i went to go live a hundred cats’’ ceclia laughed knowing her dad, Nicky Fury, would robably love the idea since he was always trying to keep her out fo this dnagerous line of work. But of course she did not follow that path at all. Specially when her Powers. Came into play. ‘’And for your information, i picked the place to go, like hell i was leaving it up to anyone.. i picked this nice little Italian place i go to a lot, it’s a family owned business. its upscale, its nice.. though.. i do regret bringing that guy there…’’ she said before going silent as they walked throguh the fairly populated restaurant and came to amore private area ‘’here you go.here is the drinks menu. Your server tonight will be Adam. If you need anything please let. us know’’ the host said before leaving. Ceclia sighed as she sat in the booth next to Tony and took a glance at. The drinks menu, which as way expensive.
bucky was still sitting outside reading, only he was reading a travel book, some of the ‘best’. Places for solo travelling. He didnt want to be doing this line of work for forever.. but he also didnt have a plan for what he would do if he wasnt there. He looked up at Lilian befoe she sat down, he could hearing the slight slurring of her words and rose a brow before carefully taking the bottle ‘’lets just.. set this aside for now’’ he siad gently and took it from her ‘’lets not get into a drinking problem okay’’ he siad and sighed when he heard what happened ‘’well.. who siad exactly you have to go into his shadow? Just because you were exposed doesn’t mean you have to stay in his shadow.. ypu can still make something of yourself… spin this.. ‘story’ in your favor… come out and say you werent working for sheild, you were being protected by them. Tony came out as Ironman, the world knows who he is, and how he works with sheild, you can say that because of that, you had ot be protected by them and they came upw ith a cover story of you working with them incase it ever got out. There’s ways to spin this in your favor’’ bucky said as he continued to look at his new book.

Tony let Cecilia sit first before he sat down and the hostess gave them the drink menu. "Well Italian is nice but there's alot more of it. I know you seem to usually pick your date spots in some cases, I called this one just to...shake things up a bit, try something different. I mean it is the best French restaurant in the state" he remarked. "Well I'm glad Happy was there to get you an escape route, now I can treat you to a real date lunch" he remarked. Tony heard his phone buzz but he chose to ignore it for now, it was probably something non emergent, or at least he hoped. "So what was your original plan? I mean outside of this and being the crazy old cat lady" he wondered.
Lillian sighed dramatically "You know my brother is Tony Stark right? Play boy, party boy? Or well he used to be. Must run in the family from what Cap told me about our father" she said with a hiccup. When Bucky suggested she spin the story that was published, she gave him a very confused expression. "You read it didn't you? I was placed in several world wide locations as a double agent, saying I was in league with hydra but to get secrets for SHIELD. And look! There's my SHIELD ID! Wait how the hell did they get that!?" Lily exclaimed. "For now I have to just...lay low, at least until they catch the source that leaked this info or I could go into the city and run into trouble, more than I can handle. Besides I had nothing to do with my dad's business, SHIELD was a way of doing something with my life, to help protect the world, I have no abilities to be an Avenger so a SHIELD agent was my only other shot" she said with a shrug before she flopped back and lied in the grass.

Cecelia shrugged a bit as she sta there ‘’I like Italian, its god food, plus everytime i go to this restaurant they treat my like fmaily,its run by this father, who inherited it form his father, they. Both treat me like im a long lost daughter. Its a safe palce an dhappy knows the best way to get out of out it’’ she said and chuckled a bit. ‘’I’ve never had French food to be honest. Never really appealed ot me.’’ She stated and shrugged as she looked at the drinks. When tony asked what her plan was if she wasnt with the avengers or a crazy cat lady. She paused and then sighed ‘’i have multiple degrees in art, art history, architecture and archeology. I had plans to go to Egypt for this archeological art project. They had found this old tomb that was perfectly preserved with Egyptian art works… but.. uh.. plans changed.. got my powers.. and dad decided it wasn’t a good idea to go anymore.. guess in a way he was right…’’ she ssiad gently her tone changing to one of longing and a bit of sadness. She loved and adored art, history, architecture and archeology.. but never got to peruse that.
bucky sighed and shrugged ‘’it popped up on the hand screen thing steve gave me today. I read a part. Of it until i saw your name, then i shut it off’’ he said and looked at her. ‘’Natasha doesnt have powers. Neither does Clint ‘’ He pointed out ‘’neither does your brother, steve and i might be enhanced but we dont have powers. You dont have to have superpowers to be an avenger Lilian. Thats not a requirement you know’’ he stated seriosuly ‘’look. I get its a shity hand you were dealt.. but tlak to fury..maybe theres something you cna do to get ahead of this.. like i siad. Spin it into your favor.. into his favor. Into sheilds favor. Everything has a trail .you jsut gotta look for it.. when youre sober of course’’ he siad and sighed as he got up. He helped her up. And patted off her back dform the lose grass ‘’come on, you need to sleep this off’’ he said gently as he guided ehr inside.

Tony decided on a couple things from the drink menu as he heard what Cece said. "Nothing against Italian food, I just find there's alot of those kinds of restaurants, almost making it over done. French is well...its a treat I suppose" he said with a shrug. When Cecilia mentioned getting her powers and not being able to go on a dig, Tony paused. "But you've been here for years, you've learned how to control your powers. Maybe now is a time to say hey, I'm going to Egypt for a little while, BBL" Tony remarked. "All I'm saying is you can't let big changes in your life, stop you from chasing your dreams" Tony added.
Lillian sighed "Barton has excellent aim and Romanoff has been trained as an assassin since she was a kid. I barely have an intermediate level of combat skills. Even helping the Avengers I end up doing the news watching, the read ups, getting the Intel. I'm behind a desk so to speak even here" she grumbled a bit. Lily groaned childishly when Bucky pulled her up to her feet and dusted the grass off her back. "I did! I talked, I yelled! That's all he's got is to leave me here until he gets this mess sorted out" she said a little dramatically. Then she got an idea and paused walking with him. "A press conference " she muttered. "Sure I could admit to it all, that I'm a SHIELD agent working against threats and enemies. Like Tony did when he became iron man" she breathed out.

Bucky paused mid step and looked at Lilian ‘’sure… when your sober and you think it through more.. you're tipsy at best, borderline drunk. Doin this now.. you’ll. Look. Like an idiot and make things worse.’’ He stated, it was a bit blunt but it was to the point ‘’you.. right now.. need to sober up..cold shower, then bed. No excuses’’ he said and picked her up. Not trust that in this state she wouldn’t just run off ands do as she pleased. He sighed and brought her to his room instead. It was closest to where they were anyways. He walked into his room and took her right to his bathroom ‘’you can shower in here. A dill bring you a tshirt and some sweats you can change into.. dont… go anywhere’’ he said and pointed to the shower with a stern look before walking out and closing the door.
Cecelia shrugged a bit’’honestly..id have to retake all my courses and certifications all over again before any dig site would allow. Me on. Which takes a couples years to do so. So even if i did go and pursue it,it would still be at least another two years before I’d even be able t jet off anywhere’’ she stated as Adam broguht them their drinks ‘’are we ready to order?’’ He asked and Ceclia looked at tony ‘’you know whats good here, so you can order for me. Im not overly picky bout food’’ she said with a shrug before tkaing a sip oof the wine placed infornt of her.

Lillian scoffed at Bucky "Please! I only drank a quarter of the bottle!" She insisted as they got inside the compound. Lily let out a squeal as Bucky picked her up "Well would you look at that. My knight in shining armor after all" she joked a little. When he put her down inside his bathroom and left, Lily huffed a bit. "You're not even going to help me!?" She called out but never heard an answer. "Fine, I'll just do it myself like I do everything....else....UGH!!!" She muttered, shrieking the last part as she flopped onto the floor, her shirt caught over her head, her arms stuck somehow and covering her face. "I'm stuck" she muttered through the cotton fabric.
Tony ordered for the both of them before he looked at Cecilia again. "What if I sent a letter of recommendation? I mean I'm no archeologist or anything but we've worked together for SHIELD for how long, I could talk to some people, pull some strings" he offered. Tony was used to people looking at him, but it seemed more odd than usual right now, like they all had that look as if they knew something he didn't. "Is it just me or did it get incredibly awkward in the crowd..." he muttered to her quietly.
