I sat in the chair of our 'meeting lounge' where I usually sat, we were discussing where to go from our last mission and different tactics to help us. I was finding it difficult to focus on what was being said by everyone from the lack of sleep I had when we got back last night, although I thought It would be easy to rest and relax, it wasn't, it was like my usual sleep pattern.
Tony and Bruce had found out the addresses, people, building. Everything. this morning when I was down in the gym, training.
"okay we should perhaps go in pairs or small groups like last night but on a bigger scale being that we have a bigger space to cover and more people with more advanced weapons" I explained after the conversation moved on slightly
"but we're the Avengers miss Maximoff" Peter interrupted sweetly, it was refreshing... the amount of respect he had and the amount of innocence
"Pete that doesn't mean we always have the upper hand" Tony explained and put a hand on the younger brunettes shoulder
"Alright, there are three points that need to be stationed so that means we're in three groups correct? and point one needs to be the biggest group?" my sister questions,
"I'll take the kid with me, Vision, Scott and Bruce too" Tony spoke up, giving still a variety of option of who to choose
"Clint, Bucky, Wanda, Adeline you're with me" the fiery red-haired woman spoke up afterwards
"that leaves me, Pietro and Sam," My boyfriend wrote down the teams on a notebook on the coffee table in front of us
"I think me and bucky are a bit overpowered by the woman" Clint joked
"you can't keep up?" I questioned him, raising one of my eyebrows as a playful threat, Clint and Bucky whispered something to each other after my quick comment
"we can't do this until a fortnights time, that is when they won't suspect anything and we know they haven't been told anything by anyone" Bruce concluded openly to our group, we were an odd looking bunch but we all fit together.
the sound of a phones ringtone echoed through the open plan room "it's pepper" Stark mentioned looking down at his screen then getting up to leave, I guess that was the end of that meeting then but we discussed what we had to in the time of two hours so it didn't really matter.
"water?" I offered, brushing down my jeans with my hands, mixed words between yes and no were replied with instantly. I walked over to the kitchen trying to remember who wanted a drink and who didn't. I took four cups out of the cupboard and poured water into them until they were full then started walking back over to the sofa's and brown coffee table "your order is served" I announce with a fake French accent
"I'm not sure that's quite how it is said" Vision replied, picking up his glass from the surface
"well, it is now" I sigh and fall back into my seat which was the most comfortable out of all of them luckily. we spoke about so many things to the point where I forgot how the conversation developed into it. I was feeling completely fine and everything was going well until I felt a small bundle of stress come out of nowhere for no apparent reason, the palms of my hands began to get sweaty and I became warmer without realising "I'll be right back, carry on" I say dramatically swishing my arms farewell to try and cover up what was happening to me.
I walked down the corridor and stopped when I knew they were out of hearing range and sight. a deep breath exited my mouth like it had been waiting to do that forever. the more I stood there the more I became anxious and my mind began to spin from trying so hard to find an explanation for all of this, it's as if a bundle of anxiety is growing inside of me "you alright there?" I heard a sympathetic voice ask, I wiped the tears that I didn't realise had begun falling and peered over my shoulder to come face to face with the playboy billionaire. I didn't want to show my vulnerable side to him out of all people so I straightened my posture and smiled "yeah Natasha said something funny, I had to take a step away to compose myself again" I lied, I studied his face as it turned into more of a smirk
