It was early in the morning when I got a call from Tony. My phone vibrated wildly on the nightstand. I open my eyes slowly, letting out a soft groan as I reach over to my cellphone. I felt Pietro's arm tighten around me, which made me notice our change in position.

I slid my thumb across the screen, answering Tony's call.

"Hello?" I grumbled, my voice scratchy due to sleep.

"Morning, sleeping beauty," Tony greeted, completely wide awake. "Just calling to let you know that we're about two hours out of Sokovia."

"Thanks, Stark."

"Anything for you, Quill."

I hung up with Tony, setting my phone beside my clock, which read nine o'clock in the morning. It was definitely too early in my opinion, but I knew that if I was to make it to battle, I had to get up.

"Pietro?" I whispered, turning back onto my side to face him. He moaned, scooting closer to me and burying his head into my neck. "You gotta get up."

I tilt my head down so that I could look at him. He had snuggled up to my arm and now held me as if I were his teddy bear. I chuckled, finding that he was rather adorable while he slept.

I leaned down, placing a kiss on his temple. I watched as his eyebrow quirked up, and his lips curled up just the slightest.

"C'mon, get up Pietro," I whispered, smirking. "I know you're awake."

"Not quite yet," he hummed. "Maybe another kiss?"

"Very funny," I chuckled, pushing myself away from his warmth and off the bed.

"Oh, come on," he whined playfully, his eyes still closed, "just one?"

I circle around to his side of the bed, jumping right on top of him and planting a sloppy kiss on his cheek. I laughed as he jumped, his eyes popping open in shock.

"Oh, look, you're awake," I said, sarcasm in my voice.

"That wasn't the kiss I was hoping for," he groaned, rolling out of my reach and off the bed. I followed him out of the room, having to show him where his suit is.

"I'll think about giving you that kiss," I said, brushing passed him and to the elevator. "That is, if you're a good boy."

He laughed, getting into the elevator after me. I pressed the button to the main floor, bouncing on the balls of my feet.

"We've got two hours until the gang lands in Sokovia," I inform Pietro as we walk out of the elevator.

He didn't reply as we made our way down the hall and towards the room where all of our suits were held.

"Here's your suit," I said, stopping in front of his section. I smiled up at him, only to meet his somber gaze. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he mumbled, smiling sadly. He reached up and twirled a piece of my hair around his finger before letting it go and retracting his hand. "You're just really beautiful."

I knew that there was something he was thinking, and it wasn't that.

"Get ready, Speedy," I whispered, smiling softly up at him. "Time to be a hero."

I left him to change, grabbing my suit on the way out. Too lazy to take the elevator back up to my room, I teleported instead.

I stripped myself of my pajamas, pulling on the tight pants. My suit was simple. It was a pair of black latex pants with white trim, a black t-shirt, a latex jacket similar to my pants, and black trainers. I also wore black fingerless gloves because they make me feel pretty awesome when in combat.
