Ivy's POV

I woke up feeling energized and full of motivation because of what I planned for today. Under the shower, I was having flashbacks from yesterday's party. I remembered my talk with Loki when he offered me to spend some time with him. I was considering it, but I knew that maybe it wasn't a good time to do it. Not because almost everyone warned me to be careful around him. Or the fact that James, AGAIN, shut down every possible thing happening between us. It was because I had to finish my part on the Avenger project, which made me so excited. I quickly got ready. Because the day was very sunny and warm, I went for a short black dress, with suns and moons printed all over it. With my hair still wet I went to the kitchen. While I was waiting for my coffee to brew I sent the text to the group chat.

IVY

Hello, my favorite people! How is everybody feeling after the party? :)

Tony, Sam, and Nat entered the chat

TONY

Hangover

SAM

Don't get me started, man...

NAT

Why are you asking?

SAM

Yeah, that's hella sus. You're never that nice in this group chat. What did you do? ';/

IVY

What? I didn't do anything! What's the matter with you @Sam? :C

NAT

She wants something then... :)

TONY

You think so @Nat?

Steve entered the chat

STEVE

Good morning everyone! @Ivy, what happened?

IVY

Oh my god, nothing happened! Why's everybody think that something happened or I did something?

TONY

Cause you're new, sweetheart.

SAM

And you've proven that it's never anything with you, so...

Wanda entered the chat

WANDA

Hi, hi! <3

WANDA

Guys, give her a break...

NAT

@Ivy, so what's up?

IVY

Well, @everyone, since Tony's PR team from Stark Industries is slowly finishing the Avenger project, Rachel asked me to send her the photos from your photoshoots.
