Settling
Casiel had become accommodated with profanity during her current situation as a human.
She hisses softly as a glass falls and shatters while she washes the dishes, the other of her team at school.
Casiel couldn't attend school. She was physically exhausted and unwell, spending most of the day sleeping. Morgan had returned after her suspended period, enrolled in a 2 week anger management course with Brittany.
Casiel throws the sponge harshly onto the floorboards, muttering a litany of 'f!ck this'
"Hearing an angel use profanity is, for lack of a better word, hysterical" Steve commented as he entered floor 43.
"Sorry about that Cap, it's just...frustrating"
"I understand," he breathes calmly as he sat at the stool. "I was frozen for 70 years and had to adapt to humanity. It's no easy feat, Cas, you might struggle for a while, like I did."
"Thanks Cap, I think I needed that. I keep thinking I should be learning faster but you're right, it's not easy" She agreed, handing him a warm tea.
Carol and Wanda both enter floor 43, laughing about something, continuing their conversation as Casiel watched on.
"Something to eat or drink, ladies?" She questioned them.
"We actually had something to as you" Carol smirked subtly. Casiel's face dropped.
"This should be good-"
"We want to take you with us to shop!" Wanda giggled suddenly. Casiel exchanged a glance with Steve.
"Me?"
"Yes you! Come on it'll be fun" Carol added, grinning.
"I mean, I don't really have any clothes-"
"What did you just- what do you mean?!"
"I'm an angel, I normally just...think of my clothes and they appear-"
"So you don't have a wardrobe?" Wanda pursues.
"Never needed one" Casiel scratches her head.
"Alright, that settles it. Let's go shopping ladies" Carol grasps her car keys and her wallet.

"I insist you don't pay for me, Carol" Casiel stood her ground, refusing to feel as if she was taking financial advantage of her family.
"Cas, we have this much money from all our work. We can spend a tiny bit on ourselves every now and then."
"But I didn't earn-"
"Cas, are you an avenger?"
"Yes, but-"
"Then you earned this just as much as us." Casiel sighs in defeat, causing a laugh from Carol in gleeful success, "got her!"
"Now, we dress the trendy teen" Wanda agreed, picking up a short leather crop top, holding it up to Casiel.
"You're kidding-"
"Wanna be a trendy teen?"
"Yes" Casiel nodded in blatant defeat once more. She tried on the black leather crop to with high waisted black jeans, a belt, an oversized acid wash denim jacket with white dr martens, the majority of the outfit styled by Carol. When she showed them it on, they both squealed.
"Yes!!"
"It's perfect!!"
Casiel was taken aback slightly, laughing nervously. "Does it suit me?"
"Yes yes yes! We're buying this outfit" Carol spoke as she hung it back on clothing hangers excitedly. Casiel tried on numerous other tops and jeans, mostly cropped because Wanda insisted it was 'in fashion.'
The trio hopped from store to store, choosing outfits for Casiel until the had 4 shopping bags full of clothing and shoes.
"Think we've got enough?" Carol joked, eyeing the bags.
"Maybe not" Wanda added as they all collectively laughed, each sipping from their Starbucks drinks.
"Ready to rock and roll?" Carol asked, placing her blue aviator sunglasses over her eyes.
"I think we should be good to go" Wanda added, placing her red aviator sunnies over her eyes.
"Definitely, we've, as humans put it, 'shopped till we dropped,'" Casiel beamed, placing her rose aviators over sky blue eyes.
The trio walk out to the car, laughing and talking, when a group of men in a car drive passed, catcalling. Casiel and Carol frown, which suddenly became funnier when Wanda flicked her wrist and a tire blew. All three women laughed hysterically even when the made it into the car.
Upon arrival to the tower, they all went to Carol's floor, the two ladies demanding a fashion show from Casiel. Bargaining, Casiel said she would do a catwalk in one outfit.
She chose who new favourite, the leather crop, high waist jeans, oversized denim jacket and white boots, quickly throwing her hair into a messy bun and pretending to dance as she walked out of the room. Carol and Wanda cheered loudly, clapping excitedly.
"Alright, have we had our fun with the catwalk?"
"Yes yes, you're free to go get signed in a modelling agency now!" Wanda giggles.
"Maybe Victoria secret" Carol snickered.
"Cas do you what Victoria sec-"
"I'm ancient, I know what that is...I was here when the founded it" Casiel chuckled softly.
"Casiel to the lab" Friday announced suddenly, interrupting.
"Oop, duty calls ladies. Thank you for the lovely day today, it means a lot to me" She spoke, embracing them both.
"We should make it a regular thing" Wanda claps.
"Just not as much spending money" Carol jokes lightheartedly. The trio laughed, the elevator door closing as Casiel heads to the lab and Carol heads up to floor 43 to kindly drop Casiel's shopping in the Banner apartment.
"Hey Mr Stark" Casiel greets as the elevator doors open.
"Hey Cas- what are you wearing?"
"My new outfit, Carol and Wanda very kindly bought it for me."
"Very trendy, Morgan is always buying things like that now days" Stark laughed. "Shirt could be longer."
"I thought so too" She chuckled in response. "So Wanda and Carol nailed the 'young trendy teen' style?"
"Indeed they did. Also, I added a few adjustments to your project and left it in your Father's apartments "
"Thank you very much Mr Stark" She nodded.
"Not a problem, I adjusted the-"
"WHAT are you WEARING?!" Her Father yelped.
"My new outfit-"
"For public?" He questioned.
"Dad!" She laughed, turning red.
"I don't want any of those creepers staring at you on the street" he was grumbling under his breath as he walked to a nearby screen. Casual walked up and grasped his shoulder, glancing at the healing bruises on his neck.
"Sadly, I'm growing up Dad-"
"You're not allowed I forbid it. You're my little girl forever" he frowned. Casiel laughed loudly, taking her Father's glasses and wearing them, just like she did when she was younger.
"You need some sleep" She suddenly instructed, noticing bloodshot eyes.
"I'll be fine-"
"She's right, Banner, I've caught you nodding off 6 times today" Stark commented, eyes focused on his project.
"Thanks for selling me out, science bro" Banner mocked playfully.
"Bed" Tony threw a screwdriver near him.
"I'm going, I'm going!" He threw his hands up in defeat as he exited, closely followed by Casiel.
