Lost in Time

Sixty-Seven

Elle had spent the next few hours checking in on every one she could. Shang-Chi was asleep in his own apartment, and by the looks of things, as she glanced around his place in the mirror dimension, he was doing well. She had found Matt patching himself up, but no serious injuries. The guy really had to stop risking his life as much as he did. Elle made a mental note, to get him a better suit, one that gave him some protection.

She had gone to Kamar-Taj, and hugged Mordo, and Dahlia, though Wong and the ancient one declined her embrace, both gave her smiles. She thanked them for their help, and just checked in with them. Her last stop however, that was for something special.

Smiling down as she stood in the kitchen of the tower, behind the kitchen island as she prepped breakfast for everyone, well... Not so much prepped, as created portals to Colombia for the best coffees. To London for teas, France for pastries, and to the teams favourite café in New York for the bagels.

She made sure the names were on each cup, and a plate with something to eat next to it. She had lined them up on the island she was stood behind, waiting. Friday had informed her that they were all awake and coming up.

Grinning down, she put a finger to her lips and shushed quietly. This would definitely surprise them all, but it would be fun.

Elle knew she couldn't give up, not when she was so close to completing her plan. Lark and Morgan really didn't know everything, and if Elle could get the last stone, and have Danvers here, then she could lock down this reality, this universe and stop the multiversal war, long before it happens. She could actually see Jace grow up, never having to fight battles, missions, no worries about anything.

The doors pinged, and then opened, the first lot of the team pouring out of the elevator... 'Whatever that smell is, I want it..'.. Nat covered her mouth as she yawned, walking over.

'Smells like coffee..'... Yelena grumbled... 'Why did you wake me up so early?..'

'You two really can't function in the mornings, can you?..'.. Sam asked the two, as they joined her, standing the other side.

'Names on the cups, and the plate in front of it, is your breakfast..'.. Elle gestured... 'And before you ask..'.. She held her hand up, just as Nat opened her mouth... 'I'm fine, I feel fine..'.. She was good at keeping her face neutral... 'Just grab your breakfast and go sit down..'

Nat narrowed her eyes at Elle, as the doors opened behind them, and the rest of the team poured out... 'You're being weird..'

'Thanks Nat, always know how to make someone feel special..'.. Elle rolled her eyes.

'Omgfh..'..

She turned her head slightly, watching Pietro shove the rest of his bagel in his mouth without finishing the first bite... 'Dude, seriously? Learn to chew, then swallow..'

'Hes like that. Eats as fast as he runs..'.. Wanda said, but Elle noticed the way the little witch was gravitating towards a certain person, she had to fight back a smile.

'Hey, how are you feeling?..'.. Tony asked her. Elles eyes flicked to Bucky behind him, stood back a little. She could see he was nervous and weary... 'Your memories back now?..'

'Why would you think they were back?..'.. Elle slid him his cup... 'I just woke up in the night, and couldn't settle, so I went out for a walk, ran a few errands and oh..'.. Elle stooped down, and picked him up quickly settling him on her hip... 'Picked something up..'.. She grinned as Jace giggled, settling his head on her shoulder.
