Back at Leo's work again, Happy didn't greet us like he did yesterday so i made my way up the lift with Leo to his workspace. Inside the elevator was white, the whole building was very modern with its marble and metal decor of all colours , depending on the room, and the glass windows everywhere.

However it was made to feel cosy with its posters and large tinted yellow hanging lights.

I stared at myself in the mirror of the elevator,  i felt bare without my necklace but it was for the best.

I double checked my outfit, i was wearing a red crop top and black straight legged jeans with converse.

Leo caught me overanalysing and said 'You look great Zoe, don't worry Spider Mans not in today.'

I scoffed at this, and he said 'Not that you care, with your new boyfriend anyway.' Nudging me playfully.

We went into the room and Tony was wearing a white tank top, sweating as he seemed to be putting together an ironman suit, commanding the metal hands to fit around his.

We walked past him saying nothing.

Leo got settled at his desk and began working on a design for Captain America's helmet.

I stared, mesmerised by all the work it takes. I brought out my sketch book from my bag i brought and attempted something myself, showing Leo from time to time, who actually took my ideas and applied them.

'What are you doing letting the kid design it?'

I turned to see Tony wiping the sweat off his forehead behind me with a small towel.

Leo looked alarmed and replied, 'I'm just showing her how i do it, plus she's actually got some good ideas.'

Sliding my sketchbook along the table to him. He grabbed it with his damp hands, and muttered to himself as he read the notes i scribbled beside each part.

'Not too bad kiddo, i like the idea of the suit being more flexible in the arms with different material, it gives him more-'

I interrupted, 'Ability to move the shield at a faster rate.'

He looked at me and cocked his eyebrow up, 'Exactly.'

Slamming the book down, ' Apply that Leo i like it.'

Tony walked off back to his suit and kept working.

Leo sighed and hushed, 'He can be like this sometimes, he's just stressed but don't worry i can tell he's impressed.'

I smiled, i felt appreciated that Tony Stark was impressed by my own work.

Tony called from the other side of the room, 'Zoe i think we have some snacks in the break room for you, we stocked up now that we got two teenagers around.'

I still couldn't get over that Spider Man was my age it was so weird, i assumed he was like mid 20's.

I didn't reply but made my way out of the door, leaving the sketchpad behind.

Walking up the stairs, trying to remember where Wanda brought me yesterday. It was an open space when you walked through so i didn't need to stress about needing Jarvis' assistance.

I paused as soon as i entered.I saw Wanda at the top of the table.

'Zoe! You're here again, come sit friend, meet the others.' There was another three sitting on the rest of the chairs.

As i came closer it became easier to identify them. A man with long blonde hair sat next to Wanda wearing a grey denim jacket with a hoodie underneath.
