"NAAATTTT!" Tony yelled, only to be met with silence. "NAAA-"

"Oh my f#cking god, what?" Nat burst into the room. "Did you not create a damn AI for almost this exact reason?"

Peter's Winter Break had ended a few weeks ago and the Compound had been significantly quieter now that he was unable to spend the entire time there with everyone. Not only that, Pepper was back in California and wouldn't be returning for a few days. Rhodey went back to work and was training new recruits for the Air Force and Happy just wanted the day off.

"I'm bored," Tony admitted. "And I was planning on making upgrades so I temporarily disabled FRIDAY."

"Huh," Natasha nodded. "Well, since you're bored, let's, hm, I don't know, do something."

"I do not appreciate your sarcasm, young lady" Tony whined.

"I'm around you too much," Nat muttered. "I was gonna go train and you should come too."

"But-" Tony opened his mouth to protest.

"Sometimes you can't rely on just a suit," Nat interrupted. "Come on, it'll be fun."

"Your version of 'fun' is incredibly askew," Tony sat up. "But fine, whatever."

"That's the spirit," Natasha teased. "I'll meet you in the gym after I change."

"Aye, aye, Captain!" Tony saluted.

"Dork," Natasha muttered.

Natasha then headed to her room, where she put on a pair of Nike Dri Fit shorts with a coordinating sports bra. She then found a tank top to put over it and also tied her hair up with a random scrunchie. Once she was trained, she went back to the kitchen and filled up a water bottle. Tony, meanwhile, was regretting his decision to train with her, but changed into a pair of shorts and a stained t-shirt anyway.

"That scrunchie is giving me 80s vibes," Tony commented. "And I-"

"Just wanna dance with somebody?" Nat interrupted.

"Precisely, Charlotte," Tony approvingly nodded.

"Who?" Natasha raised an eyebrow. "Also, start warming up, I don't have all day."

"You liar, you have no plans," Tony laughed but listened anyway. "And have you not seen Charlotte's Web?"

"I think it's safe to say my childhood wasn't exactly stimulating, Shellhead," Natasha sat down in the pike position and touched her toes.

"Now I know what we're doing later!" Tony exclaimed.

"If you say so," Natasha shrugged. "Keep warming up for about 15 more minutes and then we'll start."

"Or we can quit while we're ahead and watch Charlotte's Web and order some food?" Tony suggested.

"No," Natasha deadpanned.

"Worth a shot," Tony grumbled.

After they both finished their individual warmups, they finally began the training session. First, Natasha evaluated his current level of combat training and how swiftly he could move on his feet. Not so surprisingly, he actually had a respectable amount of skills despite him using his suit for most of his missions. However, Natasha taught him some more moves, such as more powerful punches and drop-kicks.

"Never take your eye off your opponent," Natasha smirked as she had Tony pinned to the ground.

"First off, I understood that reference," Tony gasped. "Second, I can't feel my lungs and that's concerning me so can I please get up now?"
