"Ok, so you clear out everyone in the area, and bring that guy in the red shirt to me." I whispered. "It's really hideous.

"Ok." He sighed, we did our secret handshake. "Wait here, i'll be back in a second." He sped off and brought the man to me in a second. I grabbed the sword from the belt on my waist and quickly chopped his head off.

"Ok, now get out of here before anyone sees us." I jumped onto his back and he sped back to the Avengers Compound.

"Oh my God that was a lot of running, you know how many littler children I had to keep putting back?" He asked, out of breath.

"That guys blood got all over me, what the fuck." I said in a disgusted voice.

"Oh my God you're back! That was really quick, how did it go?" Yelena came up to me to hug me.

"Don't, I'm covered in blood." I said, backing away from her.

"Are you ok!"

"It's not mine." I assured her, she nodded but hugged me anyways. "Well, I chopped off someone's head. It wasn't that eventful, we just had to kill a guy." I said.

"Wow." Yelena whispered. "So eventful."

"I know." I said with wide eyes, we smiled at each other and hugged again. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my sister throw herself at Pietro and wrap her arms around him.

"I'll get you out of here before we have to see them making out." Yelena said, picking me up bridal style and taking us to our room. She set me down on the bed and put on my favorite show.

"Thank you baby." I said, kissing her on the cheek. I stared at the tv intently, laughing at the show. I didn't realize Yelena was calling for me from the bathroom.

"Ivy!" She called out, I ignored her and kept laughing. She opened the door and walked out naked. My eyes widened and I blushed at the sight of her.

"Oh shit, that reminds me, I need to get changed." I whispered, she slapped me on the ass before she put on her clothes. I picked out an outfit for the rest of the day and went to the bathroom to put it on.

"Sweetheart, why are you going to the bathroom?" She asked. "I've seen you naked before, multiple times." She pointed out.

"I know." I mumbled, getting changed.

"It's like four hundred degrees out, why are you wearing a hoodie and sweatpants?" She asked as I walked out.

"They're comfortable." I said while flopping down on the bed. She flopped down on top of me and hugged me from behind.

"Did you do it again?" She asked softly.

"No!" I exclaimed, pushing her off of me and showing her my wrists. She nodded and I pulled my sleeves back down.

"Hey Ivy." Kate walked into the room without knocking. She sighed with relief, probably glad she didn't walk in on me and Yelena fucking.

"Hey." I whispered.

"Why are you wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, it's so hot in here." She asked while smiling.

"That's what I said." Yelena said in her thick Russian accent.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go swimming with the rest of the team." She asked.

"Oh my God, yes." Yelena said, I tried to refuse but she said it before me.

"Well, I guess." I agreed.

"Ok great. Everyone else is getting ready." She left the room and shut the door quietly behind her.

"I don't really want to swim Yelena." I whispered to her.

"Why not, we haven't been swimming in forever." She pointed out, changing into her bathing suit. "Here, there's your bathing suit." She grabbed a random bathing suit from my drawer onto the bed beside me.

"I'm not going to swim." I said firmly.

"Why not sweetheart? It'll be fun, everyone will be there."

"Yeah, that's why I don't want to go." I said quickly.

"What do you mean, I thought you like everyone?" She said, finishing changing into her bathing suit and then walking over to me.

"I do."

"Then why don't you want to go swim with them?" She asked, it was hard to look her in the eyes.

"I just don't feel like swimming."

"You said you would go." She said, I breathed in deeply, getting angry. She sat down next to me and put her hand on my thigh gently. "Why don't you want to go?"

"I just saw everyone calling me all these thing under Tony's announcement. And it just made me really insecure." I explained quietly, she nodded and then kissed my cheek.

"You know you don't need to be insecure, right?" She asked me, I didn't give her an answer. "I'll just text Kate and say that we've changed our minds, I'm not gonna make you go and I don't want you to be alone." She whispered, kissing me on the cheek again.

"Thank you."
