Wanda grinned at you as you walked into the training simulation room the next morning, and attempted to high-five Thor. At first, he didn't understand, and a moment later, he understood and initiated the high-five. No one was in full fight- gear, which was lucky for you. You had none. It was a large room, about the size of two suburban two story houses, side by side. And they were large houses.

"I knew it would work." You heard her say, and rolled your eyes. No one was surprised to see you there, least of all Natasha.

"Alright, welcome to training." She said to you. "Today it's gonna be stealth practice, which is why I'm in charge." She was speaking to everyone in the room. Tony and Dr. Banner were deliberately not in the room, as with their hero aspects, stealth was near impossible. You grinned.

"This is basically an intense game of hide and seek, with added paintball. One round will be simulated like broad daylight, the other in the at night time. The paintballs aren't in guns, and are more like grenades." Natasha looked at you, as she was passing everyone a bag of paintballs. "You've read Divergent right? It's just like capture the flag, but messier and less painful if you get hit." Your grin grew wider.

"There will be multiple rounds, each with a different seeker and light base. Powers are encouraged, just don't kill anyone. First round, Thor, Broad Daylight mode. I'm not participating, as I'm going to be grading you on stealth. Good luck." She spoke, leading Thor from the room.

The simulation clicked on, to a forest. You were happy with this. Hardly any light escaped from the tree's canopy, giving you plenty of places to hide.

"You have Thirty seconds to find a hiding spot. The simulations are solid, so you can climb the trees." Natasha said over the intercom. "Ready, go!"

Everyone took off, Pietro and Wanda going together, Hawkeye climbing a tree. You looked around the forest, spotting a perfect hiding spot. You ran off towards it. Some people were easy to spot, like Vision, but that was understandable for him. Falcon and Cap were a bit more of a challenge, and Hawkeye was perfectly hidden.

As you reached the entrance of the small cave, you looked around. Plenty of room for you to go inside and hide yourself. You stepped inside as Natasha called out the last ten seconds. You sat at the back of the cave, holding the shadows around you like a blanket. You covered most of your head except for your eyes. You couldn't see the entrance at all, which meant no one could see you. The paintballs sat in a small bag next to you.

"One... Begin." You heard Natasha call. The doors to the room opened, and You heard Thor walk around slowly. He was loud, hardly stealthy. You held your breathing.

You heard a whoosh outside the cave and a splat. Thor yelled, and you guessed it was at Pietro. From somewhere in the room, you heard Pietro laugh. Okay, so it was him who got Thor. You didn't laugh, knowing Thor was close by.

Sneakily, you manipulated one of the shadows in the cave to grab a paintball. It rolled outside the cave to Thor's feet. Thor obviously couldn't see his shadow as it became a solid form and picked up the paintball. You made it throw the ball at the Back of Thor's head and he yelled out, not knowing where it came from. The shadow had resumed it's proper position. You grinned widely. Thor had absolutely no ide-

SPLAT.

You grimaced, knowing one of Thor's paintballs had gone inside the cave. Shit shit shit.

He called out to you, and when he didn't get a response he sighed, continuing his trek. As he left the cave, you heard yells from both Thor and Wanda, meaning they had found one another and were throwing paintballs.

There was another whoosh nearby
and you heard someone walk into the cave. You prepared for a barrage of paintballs until you saw Pietro. He was grinning, obviously leaving his sister to get splatted. You heard her yell at him from the other side of the simulation.
