The Siren's Sleeping Beauty [Comprehensive British and American]

"What should we do next?" No matter how much you eat a French fries, Bucky rubbed his oily fingers, but he didn't put it in his mouth after all.

Very reservedly, he reached for the napkin next to him, took it out, and wiped it.

The question was posed to everyone, but the only answer he could accept was from Steve.

Steve was silent.

"Fire." Angus answered.

There was no bone left in the chicken leg in his mouth, and it was delicious.

Bucky...

Natalia...

too much...

Steve quickly got on track with his thinking, hesitating: "...Only this one way?"

"Yes." Angus looked at him.

Anyway, that's all he knows.

Bucky let out a slight ah, and it turned out that he was talking about the one in the bag.

...But, that is indeed a problem.

"Sorry, we're talking about the movie we just watched." Natalia looked at the waiter who approached hesitantly behind Angus holding a water bottle, "Boys always tend to struggle with some strange questions, don't they?"

She raised her hand to raise her empty glass: "I'm really fed up with them."

The waiter showed a clear look, refilled her water, and shrugged: "But sometimes it's cute, isn't it?"

While speaking, he glanced at Steve.

Natalia withdrew her hand, looked at the waiter who came to refill their cups every time, her lipstick was a few degrees brighter, and the waiter exuded a light perfume, and smiled: "Yes, theymadeacutecouple."

"You know what? We should try a few more times, it feels good for four people to date." Natalia smiled harmlessly, and wrapped Bucky's arm next to him.

The waiter twitched the corner of his mouth with difficulty, and left with the kettle in his hand. He never looked back after walking.

Steve raised his hand and scratched his nose, Angus was completely stunned.

Bucky let out a wow, half of his body was a little crisp because of Natalia's wrapped arms.

After the waiter left, Natalia looked at them: "You look like babybirds."

"You've never done anything wrong in your life, have you?"

Angus bit his glass and looked at Natalia, and chatted with her: "I'm not a bird, and Steve often said that I did something wrong."

Natalia waved her hand: "Of course you're okay, because you're cute."

"I didn't say you were wrong, I just...Sometimes, some behaviors are inappropriate." Steve couldn't help emphasizing.

Natalia...

Steve pursed his lips, then let go: "...Anyway, thank you...for tonight."

"And just now, I rescued you from the embarrassing situation where you might be fed up with water and can't go to the bathroom just to look at me," Natalia smiled half-smile, raised her hand, and touched Angus cup.

"Yourewele." She took a sip of water and smiled.

Steve glanced at Angus, who had a weird chat with Natalia, and then looked at Bucky.

"Don't look at me, in fact, I think what she said is the truth." Bucky had a lot of complaints about his own charm not being as big as the opposite 'dad'.

Steve shook his head, weakly.

"...I can assume that I'm still sitting here because you didn't plan to...um, shut me up?"

Making a tearing gesture, Natalia joked.

"Why are you at the bar tonight?" Steve bypassed her question and looked at Natalia.

"I want to know the answer too..." Natalia glanced at Angus and looked away.

"Believe it or not, I was just looking for a place to drink, and when I passed by, there seemed to be something wrong with your bar."

"Probably... some unspeakable impulse—②" Natalie knocked the cup on the table with her hand, showing an indescribable expression, "Normally, I don't have it."

"And, I've decided never to have any more."

"Your accent has changed," Steve said flatly.

Natalia looked at him: "Oh, then do you like my original one better?" While speaking, the accent had changed to that of Germany.

"How do you know?" Steve continued, looking calm, "Know that we own the bar?"

"You are the first man I have ever seen who can make the interrogation so boring." Natalia sighed inexplicably.

Then she folded her arms, leaned heavily on the back of the chair, and smiled: "Gentlemen, I'm a spy."

The protracted and curly ending and the playfulness are exaggerated to the point of falsehood.

Steve's tongue twitched in his mouth, yes... that answer pretty much solved his next set of questions.

Obviously, he couldn't ask anymore.

Natalia raised the corners of her lips, happy.

Bucky raised his hands slightly, pressed them to the table, and drew his attention.

"Your name is Natalia, isn't it?" He looked sideways at Natalia who was sitting next to him, with a habitually frivolous expression.

"Will you tell what you saw tonight?" He cut to the point.

"Well..." Natalia shrugged, "It's up to you."

Bucky frowned, "Why?"

"If you think I said it, it doesn't make any sense whether I say it or not." Natalia took a sip of water.

"..."

"——oh" Bucky let out a frustrated sound, and lay down on the table, "Damn, she was right."

Natalia turned the glass in her hand calmly: "toldyou - I'm a spy -"

"I'm tired, I'm exhausted!!" Bucky hugged his head, giving up struggling like a salted fish.

Steve... Sure enough, no one present is suitable for this kind of thing.

"Let's go," he glanced at Natalia, "let's... find a place, makesomefire—"

Bucky rubbed his face, turned his legs away, straightened his arms, and signaled that women should be the priority.

Just like before, one behind the other, holding Natalia forward.

To this, Natalia did not respond.

Bucky has a feeling that she is actually just curious about what will happen next, which is completely different from being unable to escape.

The few people walked further and further away, and moved to an inaccessible place in Brooklyn.

Angus was getting slower and slower, Natalia simply stepped forward and approached him: "Angus, what are you?"

"No!"

"Don't answer."

""Sirens". "

Steve...

Bucky...

Natalia put her arms around Angus' shoulders, kissed him, and smiled happily: "I really like you so much."

Angus didn't know why.

Steve pulled Angus to his side, glanced at Natalia, and bowed: "Come up."

Angus got on his stomach.

Natalia raised her eyebrows, and after a while, she stepped behind Bucky and opened her mouth.

Bucky cuts her off: "I'm not going to tell you anything."

"Even where are we going?" Natalia gestured, "I'm a woman, with you three men. One of you still has a separated... limb."

Bucky...

"There's an abandoned steel factory nearby, and they have existing boilers there." Bucky succumbed.

Steve paused and glanced at Bucky vaguely.

Is his... memory recovering?

Looking at Bucky with a calm expression, Steve hesitated for a moment and didn't remind immediately.

Natalia turned her head to the side: "How do you know about that place?"

"We used to go there to play." Bucky put his hands in his pockets, with a hint of nostalgia in his voice.

"It's changed a lot here, hasn't it?" Natalia nodded.

"Indeed, too much has changed." Bucky hooked his lips, "There used to be a school here..."

Steve couldn't listen anymore, turned his head and shouted: "James——"

It means warning.

Bucky didn't realize it was his name for a while, Natalia sighed regretfully.

...Damn it, this woman.

After a period of time, they were completely silent until their destination.

Angus stood far away, and Steve gave him his coat.

From time to time, Bucky would give Steve a hand as he tried to get some carbon out of the shell of the boiler, keeping an eye on Natalia.

Natalia watched them work, then stared at Steve's profile: "You know what? I'm bigger than I look."

When no one spoke to her, she sniffed.

"Your name is James? It's quite ordinary." Natalia brushed her hair, "And your name is Stephen."

"Is Bucky a nickname? I heard Angus call you that."

Still no one answered.

"My original goal was Howard, but he loves Maria," Natalia was not annoyed, "so I chose someone else."

"Although I failed to squeeze into Stark's family, I did know some interesting things."

"After all Stark is...very, very talkative."

"You know Captain America?" She laughed.

Steve jerked his hand and bumped away from Bucky's arm.

"It seems to be called Steve, and he has a good friend, James Barnes? I remember." Natalia recalled.

Steve licked his lips.

"Sounds like it, Steve, Stephen," Natalia smiled, "Actually, Angus is right, isn't he?"

"The odd thing is that they sound alike."

Steve roughly tore the stump out of the bag, and threw the stump into the stove without changing his expression.

Natalia fell silent when she met the eyeballs that were still frantically rolling with vigor.

"Matches?" Steve looked at Bucky.

Bucky touched himself and spread his hands.

"Here—" Natalia took out a miniature bomb from her waist and threw it at Steve.

Steve's claws felt a little numb as he grabbed the small disc, which was no more than two knuckles wide.

"...there is a button on it, just... press it and throw it in." Natalia twitched the corners of her mouth, helplessly explaining.

Steve hesitated, then did as she was told.

"boom--"

There was a not-so-big explosion, and a fire suddenly ignited.

The three of them stood by the boiler, looking at the body gradually ignited in the flames.

Steve frowned, and finally closed the lid on the boiler, which had almost fallen off.

Even knowing that the other party is not human, this feeling...is still not good.

But he can't transfer such a dangerous thing to the police, or some other organization.

He was well aware of the unbelievable things that secret groups with interests would do, and he couldn't take the risk of exposing Angus.

This is the best way.

There is no other way.

Steve raised his hand and touched his forehead, firming his mind.

"Natalia, I believe in you." After a long time, Steve turned his head to look at Natalia who was silent.

"...Angus has never trusted bad people." Steve's voice was mixed with the crackling of the flames, and the weight was heavy

"Oh?" Natalia twitched her lips, and glanced at Angus who was standing on a high place and looking up at the stars.

"I worry about him all the time, but...sometimes, I feel like he's the one worrying about me." Steve sighs.

"Don't let him down."

"He likes you."

"...Wow - you are really chicks." Natalia laughed inexplicably.

"Maybe." Steve called Bucky, walked over and carried Angus away.

The three left from where they were.

Natalia stared at the boiler that hadn't cooled down, raised her foot to approach, and opened the hot lid.

Looked at the still not completely burnt stump inside, then slammed the lid shut.

"The hell is not a bad person." Natalia turned her head, rolled her eyes, and walked back slowly.

She just pretended that she had slept all night in the apartment tonight.

"That's it... that's all right?" Bucky followed behind Steve, always feeling that things were not very reliable.

"... Let's monitor her for a while, and we won't have any secrets in front of her." Steve ruthlessly exposed this terrible fact.

Bucky...

"...she's really good at this, isn't she?" Bucky smacked his lips.

"Indeed, she even asked something you didn't even know." Steve turned Angus upside down.

"what?"

"Bucky, why do you know there is a school near here?" Steve smiled.

"Why don't you know, we were on there..." Bucky replied conditionedly, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, fuck."

"After the mission is over, I will specially send the pretending dog to a good person... It shouldn't be a bad person, and she didn't make trouble tonight." Steve thought for a while.

"Of course, if something happens after that..." Steve frowned.

"It seems that I need to contact Howard." Steve sighed.

"Tony." Angus interrupted.

"You like Tony besides Natalia, don't you?" Steve smiled.

"Yes." Angus replied.

"What about me? Angus?" Bucky knew that Steve didn't plan to carry it down by himself, he was relieved, and his mood improved a lot.

"...You eat a lot, talk too much, stupid." Angus glanced at Bucky.

"What!?" Bucky couldn't believe it.

Angus turned his head away.

"...Your singing is horrible, immature, and dumb. When people ask you, you just answer, what's your brain?" Bucky said unwillingly, "Speaking of which, did you kick me a few times today?"

Angus smashed his own water bottle over his head.

Bucky...

Steve was speechless; "Bucky, what are you arguing with him?"

Bucky... so angry.

After returning home, the sky was already pale.

Bucky packed up and went to sleep on the sofa, still too sleepy to move.

Angus sits in the tub while Steve examines his nails.

"Does it hurt?" He fiddled with his unrecognizable nails.

"No." Angus shook his head.

"..." After a moment of silence, Steve said, "Angus...do you want to go back to the sea? I know you don't have any clansmen anymore, but...do you still have your clansmen in the sea?"

"Will they...will accept you?"

Angus looked up: "I can't go back."

Steve froze: "Why? Lost?"

Angus shook his head: "Because the sirens will no longer admit that I am of the same race."

"They're going to kill me."

Steve couldn't believe it: "What? I thought that although you didn't get in touch, you would live in peace. Why, why...why did they kill you?"

"Because I've been on the shore for too long, with humans." Angus shrugged.

"...What's the reason?" Steve felt he couldn't accept it.

"Then, why did you burn David to death?" Angus felt that it was difficult for him to explain, so he asked back.

"Because he's going to hurt people." Steve didn't hesitate.

"...Angus? Do you mean that you who lived with humans will be considered a threat to the siren?"

Angus rolled himself back submerged in the water, and nodded across the water.

Steve closed his eyes. "Oh God, what have I done..."

Angus didn't understand what was wrong with him, so he raised his hand and patted his face wetly.

Steve pulled his hand down and frowned: "Angus...did you know you couldn't go back when you were stranded here?"

"I don't want to go back." Angus turned over in the water.

"But, in the sea, you'll be safer and stronger." Steve worried.

Angus turned to look at him: "You worry too much."

"I'm just, worried... I can't protect you well." Steve worried.

He was really worried about this, but after thinking about it, he felt that maybe he just had the kind of sudden lack of dopamine that David said, and fell into a trough.

"Want to hear me sing?" Angus lay down on the edge of the bathtub, tilting his head.

Steve, who was still a little melancholy, suddenly turned green, and stood up abruptly: "Um, I... I'm fine, I... I'm... a little tired now."

Angus rolled his eyes.

He raised his face, closed his mouth slightly, and a string of distant tunes overflowed from his lips.

It doesn't seem to come from his mouth, it seems to come from a farther place, and it seems to resonate from the soul of the person who hears it.

Steve turned to look at Angus who was laughing, lost in thought.

Youyuan's chanting is still going on, it's as soft as cotton, and it's like a sweet dream.

Unable to say what it felt like, Steve breathed lightly.

Angus looked at Steve who had calmed down: "I'm not as fragile as you think."

"...its beautiful..." Steve said in a nonchalant manner, "Um, yes. Indeed...you are amazing."

"Why was it so..." Steve couldn't figure it out.

"Good night, Steve." Angus hid himself in his hair.

"OK...you just want to be happy. Good night, Angus." Steve laughed and closed the door for him.

The author has something to say: They are a very cute couple.

②It may be some unexplainable whim...
