The group had made it back to the compound and Steve and Tony instantly headed to the meeting room to discuss what their next step was. Olivia headed to her room and threw the shield to the side. Having it slide across the carpet, she pressed the metal disc on her chest and had the suit retract. An anger coursed through her that made her just want to crawl into bed and pretend the world didn't exist. She failed, she wanted to prove to her dad that she could actually do well on these missions and that she was an asset to the team, along with Izzy, but other than killing Thanos the two failed.

Izzy and Peter returned together, Peter's arm wrapped around Izzy's shoulders as he limped into the room. She sat him down and had him take down the top half of his suit so she could see where he was injured. He had a cut along his cheek, so Izzy grabbed the first aid kit, cleaning up the wound.

"Hold still, I'm nearly done." She steadied herself by pressing her hand against his bare chest, the feeling of her skin burning him.

"I can't believe he got me like that." Peter sighed, his shoulders sinking.

"You did well, don't worry about it. You even got a scar to prove it." Peter chuckled at Izzy's attempt to comfort him. His lips curved into a smitten grin, reaching forward and cupping her cheek. She gasped quietly at the sudden contact, but snuggled herself into his hand.

"Thank you, for being there." Peter smiled, with Izzy nodding, resuming back to her nursing. Wanda was watching from afar, smirked and skipped over to Olivia's room to inform her of the two flirting.

"Ten bucks say those two are going to- oh, you're asleep." She cut herself off and began to whisper, stepping out of the room until Olivia stirred in the bed, opening her eyes.

"Not asleep. Just defeated."

Wanda sighed through her nose and wandered over to the bed, perching herself on the side of the bed. Olivia reached over, gently clasping their hands together.

"You did great out there. I wouldn't have even known it was your first mission."

"It technically wasn't." Olivia chuckled, making Wanda grin.

"I'm proud of you, you know? After everything you've been through," Wanda bit the bullet and tightened her grip on Olivia's hand, breathing in deeply, "I'm glad I got to see you out there."

"Thank you." Olivia said, her thumb brushing against the back of Wanda's hand. Their eyes danced for a while and Olivia knew the witch had something on her mind.

"Listen, I need to-"

The door flew open with a flushed Izzy slamming the door behind her and resting against it, completely awe-struck. Olivia and Wanda's hand pulled apart and Wanda looked down to her feet.

"I want to do unspeakable things to that man." She panted out. The door opened again and Izzy fell back, her body slamming against the floor. Olivia and Wanda couldn't help but burst out laughing, while Natasha profusely apologised for what she had done, helping Izzy stand back to her feet. They closed the door behind them and Izzy rested against the wall to make sure she didn't have a repeat of previous events. Natasha strolled over to the bed, getting in under the covers and snuggling into Olivia's side.

"You alright?" The redhead whispered to Olivia, earning a false nod. Wanda stood up from the bed and walked over to Izzy.

"What happened?" She asked, as Izzy panted out again.

"He will be the death of me!" She exclaimed, earning the attention of the two snuggling women.

"What happened, Iz?" Olivia asked.

"I saw him shirtless. Again."

"Oh God." Olivia chuckled, with Natasha knotting her brows in confusion.

"What?"

"Izzy can't handle the sight of a nude man."

"The sight of a nude Peter Parker, Liv!" Izzy tan over to the bed and grabbed her best friend by the shoulders, shaking her up and down.

"Okay, okay! I got it!" The three women laughed and Izzy waltzed round the room in a crushing daze. Wanda and Olivia's eyes met for a moment, but Wanda looked away, making Olivia tie her brows in confusion. She looked down to Nat, and pressed a kiss against her forehead, making the redhead blush slightly.

"So what're you going to do about it?" Natasha asked.

"I don't know! Wait until he confesses his love for me?"

"Izzy, this is Peter, he will never realise you have a crush on him." Wanda warned.

"But I really do! I can't be that obvious, right?"

"Hit him over the head with a sign that says 'I'm in love with you' and he still won't know." Olivia giggled.

"Ugh, why're boys so stupid?"
