"Knock knock!" Natasha sung, walking into Nico's room with Wanda behind her. "whaaat?" Nico groaned. "You need to tell us everything about yesterday." Wanda said, as she and Natasha sat on Nico's bed.

"Don't you guys have something else interesting to do in your life?" Nico questioned, burying her face into her pillow. "No.. vacationing is hard, there's not much to do." Natasha said. "Try relaxing for a change." Nico said, lifting her head off of her pillow.

All three of the girls looked at each other and shared a laugh. Relaxing, how funny. Even if they tried, they would always have something on their mind. Relaxing stopped being an option a long time ago.

"So.. What happened?" Natasha asked. "We went to a few stores, I got that badass katana in the corner-" Nico points to her new katana that was leaning up against a one seater couch in the corner. "We watched the sunset, and.." Nico hesitated.

"And..?" Wanda questioned. "We kissed." Nico revealed. The two ladies sitting on Nico's bed grinned as Nico's cheeks turned a shade of red.

"I don't like Eddie, she said." Natasha mocked. "He's just a friend, she said."

Nico rolled her eyes, "shut up." She muttered. "So.. where does this leave you and Eddie?" Wanda asked. Nico shrugged, "I dunno but if he doesn't do anything soon, I'm going to ask him to be my boyfriend." Nico declared.

"Anyways, enough about me, what's going on with you and Bruce?" Nico teased Natasha. Black Widow scoffed, "nothing." She lied. Nico and Wanda shared a look and roll their eyes, "we'll believe it when we see it." Wanda snorts.

"Okay enough about boys, let's go out! Explore, have a little fun." Natasha recommended. "I just wanna get ready and eat breakfast, to be honest." Nico shrugged. Wanda agreed, "Yeah, let's head out. Clint said he was returning back to his house." She said.

"Aw he's leaving so soon?" Nico asked. "unfortunately." Natasha answered. "Go get ready, we'll wait for you in the dining room." Wanda said, getting up with Natasha and two left the room.

Nico got up and quickly changed her clothes, she then grabbed her toothbrush, toothpaste, and hairbrush and went to the bathroom. After she was ready, she put her stuff back in her room and went to the dining room where breakfast was just being served.

She sat down in between Eddie and Steve, her mouth watering at the selection of food set in the middle of the table. Everyone began to pile food onto their plates, so Nico did the same and piled on some rice and some meat onto her plate.

Although it wasn't what the avengers might eat back home, they were in Wakanda now. There were eggs and hash browns as well, so some of the team ate that instead, but the rice and the meat were good too.

Everyone began to eat, scarfing the food down their throats with little conversation. "So.. anyone got anything planned for today?" Clint asked. "Well, when are you leaving?" Natasha asked. "Tomorrow morning." He answered.

Nico swallowed her rice and then spoke, "we should all go do something fun, ya know.. like uh- do you guys have a place where we can swim?" She asked Shuri and T'Challa.

The two nodded, "we have a lake not too far from here." Shuri responded. "Great, there's our plan, relaxing in the sun and swimming." Nico said simply, taking a bite of her meat as everyone shrugged in agreement. "We didn't bring our swimsuits, though." Wanda said.

"That's not a problem, we have many shops in the village that sell swimsuits. We can all go down to the village after breakfast." T'Challa suggested. Everyone hummed in agreement.

"Wait you guys didn't bring your swimsuits? I did.." Nico said quietly. "Did you really think we were going to swim while fighting the bad guys?" Sam asked, smirking.
