a/n: all good things come to an end.

The team was splashing around in the lake, some of them were either lying on a towel, or sitting on a chair. Either way, everyone was having a swell time.

Nico came up for air with an idea after dunking her head into the water for fun. "Hey guys, let's play Marco Polo!" She suggested. "Yeah!" Steve agreed.

"Nah, we're good." Sam said. Nico and Steve frowned. "Why?" Nico asked. Sam sighed, "because you two might be superhumans or whatever, but we're not. We don't have enhanced hearing like you two, it's unfair." He explained.

Nico rolled her eyes, "Okay, fine." She said. "Water tag?" She suggested. "Yeah, okay." Sam agreed, swimming around. Everyone who was in the water hummed in agreement. Meaning, Nico, Natasha, and Steve.

"Tony's it!" Sam called. "What? I'm not even in the water!" Tony groaned. "I can't get this wet!" He pointed to his swim trunks.

"They're swim trunks, Tony." Natasha said, her voice monotone. "Quit being a drama queen and get into the water."

"Fine." Tony grumbled, "I'm going to tag all of you assholes." He mumbled, getting into the water. "It's cold!" He complained.

"Tony, just tag one of us." Steve urged. Tony rolled his eyes, "fine." He muttered, getting ready. "Alright, here we go." He said, swimming off towards the group in the water. The group immediately began to separate, Nico and Natasha going left, Sam and Steve going right.

Tony huffed, swimming towards Sam and Steve, but they were quick and separated off in different directions. He turned to the two ladies and they did the same.

"This isn't fair, ya know." He complained. "Just tag one of us, Stark." Natasha rolled her eyes. Tony sighed, going under the murky water.

"Where'd he go?" Nico asked, as the group of 4 tried to look for him overtop the water. Suddenly, Sam was pulled under and four seconds later, he came up with tony. "Your American friends are strange." The group could hear Okoye speak to T'Challa.

Sam sighed, "alright, okay." He muttered, wiping some water away from his eyes. He was considerably faster than Tony was, so he quickly swam to Nico and tagged her on her shoulder.

Nico tagged Steve, who was distracted by Sam desperately attempting to swim away. Steve then tagged Natasha, and then the game was over.

The team headed back to the Wakandan palace and dried off, changing their clothes. The group decided to just lounge around for the rest of the day. The next day, Clint left with a sad goodbye and a small smile.

Wanda went with him, for no reason other than missing vision. The two went together, boarding the jet and waving as it took off.

The next week, Tony and Bruce left. The rest of the team decided to stay a week or two longer. Tony said he had things to do, places to go, a girlfriend to propose to. Bruce was in the middle of training, but he was also the hulk. He ran off with one of the wakandan jets, no one knows where.

The team stayed back to train, to take advantage of the things they could train with in Wakanda, and to wait for Bucky to wake up. They would go back soon, they thought.

But then, two weeks later, Steve got an urgent call and he left with Natasha and Sam. That just left Nico and Eddie. Things were going to turn to shit soon, the two could feel it.

The only good thing that happened after everyone left Eddie and Nico in Wakanda was that Bucky was unfreezed. He got a new arm too, and he made sure to show it off to Nico.
