"Sorry, Sam, I thought you were quicker than that" I say handing Sam a newly frozen ice pack.
"Yeah well I wasn't expecting you to go full out, I didn't know you were that good at hand to hand combat also." Sam replies icing his fast swelling nose
"Oh sweet Samual, You know who my father is, you also know who my boyfriend is, yes i have powers, but im required to train in hand to hand just like the rest of you" i say with a smile
"I thought they would go easier on you since your such a badass" He jokes back
"If anything I get it worse! You, Nat and Rhody only have training from 3 to 5 Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays with Steve, Wanda and Vision get to pick two of those sessions plus they train with me from 3 to 5 Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays, and I train with Steve every morning from 9 to 11, plus all those other training sessions." I say with a sigh while getting a cup of coffee, it's true, for months it has been almost daily training, only time we stop is when we get passable leads on Bucky, or other missions, "Plus I still have day to day things to take care of around here also."
"Yeah I have noticed I dont see you much except for training, I never see you on missions anymore either. I had no clue Steve was making you train so hard." He says looking at me with mild sympathy.
"No worries, I guess when you pass out on a mission they tend to worry about you and make sure you're the best you can be right?" I say with a laugh "Any ways, sorry about your nose, who knows tho, Maybe the fact that I broke it may increase your chances with the ladies"
"Well, there's no way you could have made him any uglier" Steve's voice comes from behind me
"Ouch Steve, that may have hurt more than Kaylees punch!" Sam says looking at me, then we both start laughing
"Anyway Sam, why don't you head down to medical, have them check on that nose just in case ok?" I say to him ushering him out into the hall "Dinner will be ready around 7"
"Sounds great, you're cooking right? Last night whatever Wanda and Vision made messed with my stomach and I think it was the cause of my nightmares" Sam says jokingly as he makes his way to the elevators to medical.
"You bet your butt I'm cooking!" I yell back at him as he steps onto the elevator
"You ok sweetheart? You hit him really hard?" Steve says wrapping his arms around me from behind
"Im good Stevie, I got careless and I wasn't paying attention to his cues, his injury is 100% on me" I say holding onto his arm "As much as you know I enjoy this attention, I need to get started on dinner, I need to do something big to make it up to Sam"
"I want to stay like this, for just a bit longer" he says resting his head on mine, sighing contently.
"What if I raise you this" I say moving away from him, turning and placing my hands around his neck, kissing him deeply
"Even better" He says with a smile leaning down and kissing me again. "Lets go make dinner"
"Don't you have to get back to training?" I ask staring into his soft eyes
"I gave them the rest of the day off, plus, they are cleaning Sam's blood out of the sparring mat anyways." He says with a small laugh
"I do feel bad about that" I say breaking away from Steve
"Don't feel too bad, after all, like he said, your a badass" He says with a smirk
"Steven! Do you kiss your girlfriend with that mouth" I pretend to act shocked
"That's not all I can do" he says giving me a sly look
"Not now!" I say pulling out a pan from the cupboard
"Fine" He says, slightly pouting, sitting at the kitchen island.
After a successful team dinner everyone starts to section off to their own groups, I look over at Sam and his face is for sure swollen
"You all have a good night! I have some extra work I have to take care of" I say with a smile, taking a cup of coffee to my office with me, I let out a large yawn as I sit at my computer.
I end up reviewing our budget for a while, making sure that everything is allocated properly. Then I switch to scouring news sites for anything potential of avengers level involvement. Nothing so far this evening, good.
I close my laptop and do a final check of the facility, I hear sounds coming from the Gym. I peek in and see Steve working out.
"Hey stranger, it's a bit late to still be training isn't it?" I say with a smile
"Just waiting on you to be done my love" He says walking over, "Ready to go to bed?"
"You didn't need to wait for me" I say giving him a slightly concerned look
"No I really did, because if you were not done soon I was going to drag you out of your office kicking and screaming." He says scooping me up in his arms carrying me to our suite "You have fallen asleep in your office two nights this week already, and you came back late last night, not tonight, the bed is getting lonely without you"
"Im sorry sweetie, I just didn't realize that this was going to be so much work, I never really knew everything my father did" I say yawning
"About that, I'm going to be giving the team a week off, that includes you, no work, relaxing. I didn't realize how much i've been working you until I overheard you talking to Sam" Steve says setting me on the bed
"No its fine, I need to get stronger" I say holding his hand
"No no my Little Witch, you are the strongest person i've ever met, i'm sorry if I ever made you feel less than that" he says kissing my hand and pulling me to him so i'm resting my head on his chest. "Next week, you, me, a week away from the facility, what do you say?"
"Sounds perfect Stevie" I say adjusting myself slightly
"I love you Kay, your everything I could have ever asked for, you are the sun in my sky, my stars at night, i'll always find my way home to you" I hear Steve say as I gently fall into a deep sleep
