I woke up an three hours after I fell unconcious. Not sure how I know that but it feels right. I sit up, Clint and Steve are sitting at the foot of my bed.

"How are you feeling?" Clint asks concerned, Steve looks a little panicked. Seeing me unconcious must have reminded him of something. I know his history haunts him sometimes. I stand up and start pulling my boots on, tucking my jeans in my boots.

"I'm heading home for the weekend, I'll be back on Monday. See you then kiddo." Clint exits ruffling my hair on his way out.

"We have a meal to go cook! I nearly forgot about that." I exclaim.

"Are you sure you feel up to it?"

"Mhmm. Oh, I have to go start the fire other wise it won't be ready in time for s'mores. Can you find a grill for the burgers? I'll get the condiments and the marshmallows... am I forgetting anything? I hope not." I ramble distractedly, "Wood! I'll grab some from the pile by the fireplace. Anything else?"

"I am sure we will be fine." Steve chuckles.

"After you," I say opening the door.

"Ladies first" he insists grabbing the door. I exit and get started on my tasks, carrying some wood out to the fire pit I noticed on my brief flight yesterday. Once there I get everything ready and then light the tinder using what little fire magic I do have. Steve comes up the path pushing a grill and humming. Natasha pads along aside him carrying a bag with the food.

"Thanks Nat, is it alright if I call you that?" I smile widely at the assassin trying my best to be friendly.

"All my friends do." She shrugs. I smile more unable to contain my joy, she called me her friend, sort of. Nat settles in on one of the benches around the fire pit, "Those burgers almost done Cap?"

"Not yet Nat."

I absentmindedly pick daisies and start weaving them into a crown. When I finish I stand up and plop it on Natasha's head. Steve is still flipping burgers, Dr. Banner walks up with a reluctant Stark in tow. Nat's eyes widen, "How'd you get Stark out of the lab?"

"I,uh, may have threatened to let the other guy loose in the lab if he didn't start joining the group for meals."

"Nice Doc."

Dr. Banner blushes, and starts to say something but is cut off when Thor, Wanda, and Sam arrive. They each sit down on the benches, Sam says "Had to make sure these two found their way down here in time for dinner. Heard there are going to be marshmallows."

"Yep, with chocolate and graham crackers for s'mores."

"Awesome." We fist bump.

"Burgers are done." Steve announces.
