To Neptune And Back

First Round Pick (Chapter 15)

Attaching the electromagnetic piece to the palm of your hand, you gently press three smaller versions of the magnet into the bottom of the three mugs in front of you. Once everything is secure you pour coffee into each cup, making sure to customize each cup of coffee exactly how Yelena and Kate like. Putting the coffee carafe back in its place, you activate the magnet in your palm and hold your hand palm-side up. Confirming it's emitting rays, you gently place each coffee cup in the orbit of your palm. Each cup repels against the orbit, officially taking up space in the push and pull of the magnet on your palm resulting in the cups floating above your hand.

"Gotta love science."

Grabbing the bowl of cut fruit, you head to the elevator and down to the living quarters. Once on the correct floor, you head down the hall to Kate's room and use your foot to knock on the door. You can hear a shuffle and a small thud before the door eventually opens slowly. As soon as she makes eye contact with you, Kate's tense shoulders drop and she fully opens the door. Noticing the blonde hair, you shake your head and laugh at Yelena who is clearly trying to pull herself off of the ground after falling off of Kate's bed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you two."

"No, you're ok! We weren't sleeping."

Your eyes go wide and your face scrunches at Kate's words. She immediately replays what she said back to herself and realizes what she unintentionally insinuated. "I didn't mean it like that! We just have been awake for a bit now. Just too lazy to leave the bed, that's all. Geez, get your head out of the gutter, y/n."

Kate gestures for you to come inside the room, closing the door behind you.

"How are you making coffee float?" A laugh leaves your mouth at the sound of how shocked Kate seems. Yelena, finally making her way off the ground, comes up to you and ducks under your hand trying to figure out what kind of magic you are doing to make the cups float. "Electromagnetic–"

"No. No science this early in the morning." Yelena cuts you off immediately. Kate sends her a small scold but the blonde simply brushes it off. "I am guessing one of these is for me?"

"Yup, the one that is as dark as your soul would be yours. No cream or milk, just sugar and sadness." Kate laughs at your comment and ruffles Yelena's still messy bedhead. Yelena grumbles but gently pulls the cup out of the magnetic orbit you created. "And the one on the left that's full of sugar and cream, that would be yours Kate Bishop."

"Oh god, you sound just like Yelena. It's delicious, ok!" Kate takes her coffee and sips it dramatically, trying to show off how delicious her sugar concoction is. "How do you even know how I drink my coffee?"

"I've seen Yelena make it for almost three months now. Plus, it's kind of hard to forget." Making a disgusted look, you tease Kate who sticks her tongue out at you. "I also brought some fruit–" Yelena snatches the bowl out of your hand before you could finish speaking and makes her way back to the bed. Kate thanks you and pats the bed for you to join them.

"So.... how are you?"

Kate Bishop. Cute as a golden retriever with the subtlety and grace of a bull in a china shop. Yelena rolls her eyes at Kate's awful attempt at checking in with you in a subtle way, but you don't mind. Kate is Kate, and you wouldn't expect or want her to be any other way. Lack of elegance and all.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you both the past two days. I just needed some time to sort through my own shit, but I'm good now. Consider these coffees as my apology... well those and my actual apology."

"As long as you're ok, apology acc–"

"NOT accepted. Where is our breakfast in bed, Grey. You made it for your friend Wanda Maximoff. Kate Bishop here was so very worried about you the last day and a half. The least you can do is make us breakfast as well. " With a smug look on her face Yelena pops a grape in her mouth, hoping to guilt you into making them a full breakfast.
