New Recruits

3 | training :)

"Good morning!" Thalia smiled, walking into the kitchen the next morning. She sat down at the table and grabbed a piece of toast off of a plate on the table. Tony slid into the chair next to hers.

"So. Does your suit work the same as mine? I mean, I figure that it has to work similarly, but-" He asked.

"You'll have to wait and see." She smiled, anticipating training.

"Captain Rogers requested that everyone join him in the training facility on floor 19 in 15 minutes." J.A.R.V.I.S's voice rang out throughout the tower.

"Thanks, J." Tony said, getting up from the table. He kissed Pepper on the cheek before going to the elevator, with Thor, Bruce, and Thalia, with Nat following close behind. Everyone else had not come down to the kitchen yet, so they all figured they were going to meet everyone else in the training facility. They all stood in the elevator in silence.

They stopped at Nat's floor, and she got out to change into her training outfit. They then got to Thalia's floor, but she didn't get out.

"Not going to get your suit?" Tony asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nope." She smiled.

"Suit yourself." He smirked.

"Was that a pun?" Thalia asked, stifling a laugh.

"It wasn't meant to be," Tony said, letting a small laugh slip. The elevator doors opened again and the two inventors exited it and went into the training facility. Thalia waved at Steve and he smiled in return.

"No weapons? No suit?" Steve asked once he saw Thalia.

"That's what I said!" Tony shrugged, holding his hands up in surrender.

"I'm telling you, I don't need to go get my suit." She laughed.

"Whatever you say." Steve shrugged, walking over to grab his shield. The room then filled with the rest of the group, El coming in last. Everyone was in their training or fighting clothes, except for Thalia.

"Stark and Thalia, why don't you guys start?" Clint said, grabbing his bow and arrow off the wall and sitting in one of the chairs in the room. He fiddled with the string of the bow, stopping when he saw Thalia. 

"Thalia, why aren't you wearing training clothes or a suit or something? You don't even have a weapon. Don't you have a suit or something?" Nat asked. The girls giggled quietly.

"She said not to worry about it." Tony shrugged again as he stepped into one of his suits.

"Ready?" He asked. She looked around the room just to make sure that everyone was looking. Thalia then pressed on her teardrop-shaped ring. Beginning at her finger, a dark blue Ironman style suit encased her. It was more form-fitting and beautiful and shimmered under the lights of the training room.

"Really? You had to have a cooler entrance than me." Tony said, his voice almost robotic through the microphone of the suit. They began the fight, both flying around the large ring and shooting at each other, trying their best not to hit anything on the walls or any of the people.

"Okay, you two. I don't want to have to rebuild this tower. Again." Pepper yelled so that they could both hear her.

"You know Pep, you're no fun." Tony sighed, landing inside the ring and stepping out of his suit. Thalia opened her suit mid-air. It immediately went back into her ring, and she flipped in the air, landing on the ground. She flipped her hair out of her face and hopped over the outside of the ring with ease, sitting down in an empty chair. Tony rolled his eyes and sat down next to her as they began talking about suit designs and how she had gotten her suit to be so compact.
