Ella grinned as they left and sighed a bit, and then turned back to her work.

"Well, that's good news," Sim said as she emerged from the back, where she'd been working and listening simultaneously. "I guess they really like you."

"I guess so," Ella said, still smiling a bit. "What do you think about it?"

"I think you should definitely move in with them. I mean, they're a gorgeous pair already, and they really like you. Even if things don't work out, which I highly doubt, you can come back and live with me." Sim shrugged.

"You sure?" Ella asked. "I don't want to just up and drop everything on you if things don't work out."

"It's fine. You've got this fantastic opportunity, you should definitely take it." Sim grinned. "I mean you all have been getting along well so far. And like I said, you can come back and stay with me if you decide you need to."

"Alright." Ella grinned and hugged her friend. "As soon as I'm allowed, I'm inviting you to see the Tower, okay?"

"Sure." Sim smiled and returned the hug. "Should be fun." And she was kind of looking forward to seeing Tony and Bruce again. They'd stopped by once or twice more, and they were really kind of fun.

A couple of weeks later, Ella was moving the last of her things in to the new space in the tower. It was on the same floor as Steve and Bucky, but the room itself was hers, and she couldn't help but be nervous and excited at the same time.

Steve and Bucky were helping, bringing stuff up to her room but letting her arrange things how she liked.

"So, big enough room for ya?" Bucky asked with a grin, setting down the last few boxes.

"It's incredible," Ella said, putting the last box down. "I've never had a space this big all to myself before."

Bucky grinned. "Well, you don't have to share now," he said, pulling over a chair and plopping down. "This is yours for as long as you want."

"It's amazing," Ella said. She looked at them both. "And you each have rooms just as big?"

"We share a room this big, and there's a third one available still," Steve said from the doorway. "Buck started out in his own room right after, but he moved in pretty quick."

"You would have too," Bucky said with a grin.

"Jerk." But Steve was grinning.

"I'm not surprised," Ella said, grinning a bit. "I mean, this is a really big room for just one person."

"That's Tony for you," Steve said, shaking his head with a smile. "When he does something, he does something as big as he can manage."

"Doesn't do anything by halves," Bucky agreed.

"Must be nice to have those kinds of resources to burn," Ella said. She went over to them, briefly nuzzling each one.

Bucky smiled and held onto her for a moment. Oh they had gotten so, so lucky with this one.

Steve also looped his arms around her, nuzzling her briefly and settling in there. This felt much, much better with her here. Him and Bucky had been fine, but things felt more right with her to complete the trio.

Ella sighed softly and settled in there with them. Oh yes, this definitely felt right to her. She snuggled a bit closer to them both, just enjoying their presence.

Neither of them moved until Jarvis reminded them that dinner was almost ready and the rest of the team was gathering for a movie night. Then Bucky grumbled a bit and stole Ella, while Steve chuckled and extracted himself to finish getting ready for dinner.

"Movie night?" Ella asked softly as Steve walked away. "That's a thing around here?"

"Yeah. Usually once a week or so." Bucky rubbed her shoulders a bit. "Don't worry, the others all know you're here, obviously. I'm pretty sure they're hoping you'll join us."

"Really?" Ella asked, leaning into his touch. "I mean, I know I'm kind of intruding, a bit, I don't want to bother anyone."

"You're not intruding," Bucky said, shaking his head. "They wouldn't have told us it was fine to let you stay if they didn't mean it." He paused. "Well, not unless Natalia threatened them, but she knows better than that."

"As long as you're sure," Ella said. She snuggled closer one more time before reluctantly letting go.
