Catherine

I walk out of the elevator, still in my sleep shorts and tank top. The morning light doing little to wake me up, yet I'm wide awake. I for some unknown reason, woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning, wide awake and unable to fall back to sleep. I begrudgingly got out of my cloud like bed, that I swore to spend the rest of my life living in, and walked to the elevator. 

I walk into the kitchen and start the coffee pot, not wanting to deal with the world without coffee. While I wait for the coffee to finish brewing, I look around the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Hey J.A.R.V.I.S? Do we have the ingredients to make pancakes, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon?" I ask the AI. "Yes miss, the fridge is fully stocked with everything you would need."

I walk over to the coffee pot, and pour myself a cup. I take a sip of the liquid gold, in my opinion, and let it wake me up. I walk over to the counter in the center of the room, lean against it and start drumming my fingers on the counter in thought.

"Is there anyone else up yet?" I ask. "No miss. Everyone won't be for approximately one hour." I drum my fingers some more on the counter, contemplating if I should make a big breakfast.

'What the hell, I feel like a carb tastic breakfast,' I think to myself while I start getting everything I need out.

I pull the hash browns out of the oven when I hear the ding of the elevator. I turn around with the tray, and softly pry them onto a plate in the middle of the center counter. "What smells so good?" I hear a man's voice say. The footsteps come into the kitchen, but I have my back faced to the entryway, busy checking the pancakes, eggs, and bacon to add the already monstrous pile of food.

I turn around to see Tony, staring questionably at me, who is covered in flower and has an apron tied around my waist. I carry the eggs that are in the pan, and add them to the eggs that I already made, and give Tony a smile.

"'Morning," I say while turning back to flip the pancakes. I add the pancakes in the pan to the already huge pile. I put both pans in the sink, and turn to the pan that has bacon sizzeling in it.

"What's all this?" Tony asks, taking a seat at on one of the stools. "Well," I start off while taking the bacon and adding the pieces to the others. "You all have done so much for me in the little time I've been here, I decided to return the favor." He opens his mouth to say something, but the ding of the elevator and the sound of multiple pairs of feet stop him.

In the entryway of the kitchen stands Steve, Bucky, Clint, Bruce, Natasha, and Thor, staring wide eyed at all of the plates of food. "Well don't just stare at it, eat!" I exclaim. Without thinking twice, everyone grabs a plate, and starts piling food onto their plates. They all take a seat around the table, and dig into the food.

I grab a plate of my own and give myself a generous offering of pancakes, bacon, hash browns, and scrambled eggs. I take the syrup and drench my pancakes with it. "This is amazing!" Clint says with his mouth full of food. I roll my eyes, and swallow my food before speaking. "Thanks, I hope it's good."

"Seriously, Catherine, you should open your own restaurant. That's how good this is," Tony adds while stuffing his face with more food. I shake my head at him, and take another bite of my pancakes.

"So, what's on the agenda for today?" Steve asks. "Well," Bruce starts, finishing his food before he speaks. "Tony and I are almost done finding the bases. The ones we have found we are monitoring them. So far, they seem pretty quiet. But if anything changes, we'll let you all know," Bruce explains.
