Ivy's POV
I was woken up by the sunlight, seeping through the curtains. I opened my eyes and a big smile crawled on my face. I was still processing what happened the night before. I got bamboozled by Natasha to join the team. I didn't know how she managed to steer me on changing my decision. I think she played the "reversed psychology" card on me. Since everyone wanted me to join them, I felt like I was kinda in charge here. But when she mentioned that Barnes didn't want me there and he also shot some accusation towards me, I needed to show him how badly he was wrong about me. It definitely struck an ego nerve in me. But on the other hand I felt like this decision might be good for me. I was still torn between keeping my life as it is now and finally doing something I was meant to do from the beginning. I thought I was able to manage those two lives together, I had to only figure it out how. I got up and got ready for the day. I had to let Rachel know about possible delays on the photoshoots and first of all- me, joining the team. I quickly sent her a message to meet me in my office. Matthew gave me a lift to the Stark Tower and soon enough I was in my office, going through my emails.
"Hi Ivy, you wanted to see me?" Rachel walked into my office and sat on the other side of the desk. "Is everything ok?"
"Hi, yes, everything is ok." I smiled at her. "I have some news for you and I wanted to tell you first, before anyone else."
"I'm listening." She shifted uncomfortably in the chair.
"Well, I would like to start with the fact I'm very grateful for this opportunity that you gave me as a part of The Avengers project. It really means a lot to me..."
"Are you quitting?" Her eyes went wider.
"N-No! Not at all! Gosh, it probably sounded like I was quitting... Umm, what I wanted to say is there might be some delays in further photoshoots, but I'll try to manage to finish it before the final deadline."
"Ok..." She paused for a second, trying to process this new information. "And what's the reason for this delay?"
As I was ready to tell her, Tony walked into my office.
"Because she's The Avenger now." He grinned at me and walked towards my desk, sitting on the side of it.
"Tony..." I sighed annoyed. "I think it was my job to tell her that, don't you think?"
"Well, too late." He chuckled. "Mrs Tibson, there's been some adjustments in Ms Jones schedule. From now on, Ms Jones priorities will be The Avengers matters. My assistant will take care of sending you a new schedule. I promise it won't affect your little PR project, but it'll no longer be a number one 'mission' in Ms Jones mind."
"But..." Rachel looked at me confused. "May I ask... I'm sorry... Uhmm... You'll have to excuse me, but I'm very confused right now..."
"It's fine Rachel." I gave her a reassuring smile.
"Due to the recent events..." Tony started very professionally but stopped immediately. "Look Rachel, I'll be straightforward with you. When the Hydra attack happened recently, our little sunshine was here..."
