Calm before the storm ( some alone time yay)

"Did you see who followed you? Was it a bad guy?"

Emma and Peter were on their way to lunch the next day. Emma had told him about the strange feeling of being followed that hadn't left her on patrol yesterday.

"I told you it was just a feeling…"

Ned and MJ had gone ahead to save their table. Some freshmen were trying to steal it. That new guy from Emma's class had been sitting everywhere in the cafeteria. Always watching the group of seniors (and one junior) from the distance. It would have been creepy no one had realised it.

The first week at school wasn't even over yet and Emma was already done. Sure better go to school than being homeschooled again but the combination of being a superhero and a highschool student was not good for her already messed up sleep schedule.

At lunch Ned was talking about StarWars and other nerdy stuff while Peter was trying to convince Emma that she had nothing to worry about and that she shouldn't waste her energy thinking about yesterday. 

In class Emma tried her best to listen to Peter's advice but it was hard to concentrate. She kept wondering if there really had been someone following her and why she hadn't seen them.

After school Happy picked her up. Peter promised to cover her patrol for the day since Emma had done his yesterday. Like always Emma worked on her homework on the drive back to the compound while chatting with Happy.

At home Emma went straight to her room. Her dad was working in his lab and her mum was in a meeting so Emma was alone anyway. Tossing her bag into the corner of the room she grabbed mere comfy clothes and rushed down to the gym. To her surprise a few heroes were already there sparring against each other. Silently she stood there watching. It was funny how easily you could sneak up on the Avengers. To be fair the fight seemed rather intense. But still, Emma waited for the two men to notice her.

Eventually, after Sam hit the ground, they did.

"Oh, didn't see ya there."

Sam was already getting up again while Steve had to process the little scare for a moment.

"Wanna join our little training?"

"Sure." She walked over to the meats and began to warm up. "What? Not everyone can barge into a fight without a warm-up…"

The two men knew, talking or even reasoning wouldn't work. Sure it was great to see how the girl improved but it was still a bit weird to train with her.

As Tony's daughter, training combat and sword fight weren't exactly things people expected from you. But nevertheless Emma loved it. Especially since training showed her that she didn't need the suit to fight. It was just something that improved her strength and helped her with her surroundings. Of course going on patrol without it was something she never thought about but out of costume she could still defend herself.

They sparred a bit but as soon as Emma was up against Sam the training turned into a try-not-to-laugh-challenge. Their laughs were filling the room when Pepper and Natasha came down to call them for dinner.

"We see you're training hard but dinner's here."

Sam and Emma saw the chance and took it.

"Last one cleans the gym!"

They raced up the stairs while the other three walked behind them. 

After dinner Emma took a quick shower before falling onto her bed. After spending some time scrolling through the Internet she finally fell asleep. 

The next day started as calmly as the last had ended. In the morning her alarm woke her up. She ate a little snack for breakfast before Happy drove her to school.
