Peter was running through the compound while everyone was sat in the kitchen/living area eating breakfast. He ran over to Olivia's room, throwing open the door, only to have his eyes widen in shock when he noticed two bodies in the bed.

"Peter...what the fuck are you doing?" Olivia groaned, her eyes still half closed. She reached back and grabbed a pillow, throwing it to him.

"S-Sorry...I just..." He got distracted by the other body in the bed and dropped his voice to a whisper, "is that Natasha?"

"You really didn't see this coming?"

"Not this soon."

Natasha began to stir in her sleep so Peter scurried away and shut the door behind him. Olivia wanted to turn to see the woman waking up, but her amethyst clump, which rested on her bedside table, began to glow, meaning Izzy was calling. Olivia tapped the purple stone and widened the image, seeing a bright and perky Izzy projected into the room.

"Morning, friend."

"What do you want?" Olivia groaned again, as Natasha sat up in bed, instantly blinded by Izzy's projection.

"Gah! What the fuck?"

"It's just Izzy."

"How is she even here?"

"Well," Olivia reached over and grabbed the amethyst, holding it out in her palm, "she designed this so we can communicate whenever we want. She has one too, but the chip is implanted into her eye."

"The iris, to be more specific." Izzy corrected.

"You Starks are too smart for your own good." The redhead grumbled, laying back into bed and snuggling into Olivia's side.

"So, are you two...?" Izzy asked, flickering her gaze between the two girls and her laptop.

"Why did you call me?" Olivia asked, changing the subject.

"I have something for you. It'll help you with getting your suit. I just need to know how comfortable you are with having this," She held up a circular plate of metal, similar to the one on Olivia's suit, "implanted into your chest."

"Sure." Olivia said almost immediately, much to Natasha's surprise. She shot up from the bed, looking to Olivia.

"You're not even going to think about it?"

"Why should I?"

"Because this is a big thing!"

"It's just like the one my dad has, only this one can help you put your suit and it won't stop bullets from getting to your heart." Izzy explained.

"Sorted. I'll come round later and we'll get it done." Olivia tapped the stone again and the projection disappeared. She began to get up from the bed and went over to the wardrobe.

"You know, you didn't have to stay in my room last night. It wasn't a sleepover." Olivia smirked to herself, putting on a new t-shirt.

"I know, but you might've been lonely."

"That, I was." The brunette replied, finished changing and walking back over to the bed. She climbed on top of it and placed a hand on Natasha's cheek, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

"You should get out of here before my dad finds us."

"Let him."

"You know I can't do that." Olivia chuckled, getting off the bed making Natasha crawl out, standing in yesterday's clothes.

"Are you going to leave or...?" Olivia asked.

"Your dad would find it strange if I left your room in yesterday's clothes, wouldn't he?"

"Fine." Olivia tossed her a t-shirt and some jogging bottoms. Natasha got changed and quickly left the room, only to have spider-boy come in after she left.

"What do you want, Peter?"

"Mr Stark heard about yours and Izzy's fighting at the explosion. He wants to take you both out on a mission with us."

"Us?" Olivia repeated.

"I'm coming too."

"What about the rest of them?"

"Well, he can't tell your dad about it because he knows he'll say no. But Mr Stark really wants to see what you both can do. Please say you'll come, please? It'll be fun!"

"Okay, okay...I'll come. Is Izzy coming?"

"Of course!"
