I rubbed my eyes sleepily as I went to the bathroom, I looked into the mirror and cursed myself for not letting my hair dry. I fell asleep with it wrapped in a towel and now my hair was knotted.

I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair which hurt a lot because it was tangled. Once I managed to get it untangled I went back to my room to change before going downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning" I mumbled as I walked into the kitchen quietly.

I froze as I saw a woman sat at the counter drinking coffee.

Who the fuck is that?

"Good morning Elle" Cole smiles as he placed my plate of breakfast down.

"This is Natalie, she is part of security and is here to check the new system" Lance says and I smiled.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Elle" I say as I stuck my hand out.

"Natalie" she says with a grip on my hand as she shook it.

I sat down to eat my food as I glanced over at her. She hard dark brown eyes and short brown hair it was like a pixie cut. She had a stone expression on her face and didn't seem very friendly.

"Where's Shawn?" She suddenly asked.

"He must be sleeping still" Cole adds.

"Thank you Cole for breakfast" I smiled at him and I heard the girl opposite scoff quietly. Her intense gaze was on me and making me very uncomfortable as I ate my breakfast.

The awkwardness in the kitchen was making everything uncomfortable. Cole and Lance also seemed uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Shawn walked in and gave me a smile which I returned. Then he froze as he looked at Natalie. She stared at him and he stared at her for a few seconds awkwardly.

"Natalie what are you doing here?" Shawn asks his tone was very cold.

"I'm here to check your new security system, you after all the raid stuff that happened back in New York" she says.

"Why didn't Jason come?" Shawn asked.

"He sent me here because he's busy still fixing up the head quarters" she says.

Shawn got his cup of coffee and came to sit down. As Natalie was in his seat I thought he would sit next to her, but instead he came and sat next to me.

Natalie's eyes shifted between the both of us as she looked annoyed. I continued to eat my breakfast because I didn't want to be amongst all the awkward staring.

"I'll take you up to the security room after I've drank my coffee" he says and she just nods.

"What are your next steps with the Rampages?" She asks curiously.

"Well Jason knows because he's got them tracked" Shawn replies.

Suddenly, my hand was engulfed by a larger one. Shawn has held my hand under the counter, I didn't want to make it obvious so I carried on eating.

Even though my stomach was erupting in butterflies and my cheeks were becoming hot.

"Elle are you going to swim with us today?" Lance asks and before I could answer another voice cut in.

"Aren't you guys supposed to be training?" Natalie asks.

"I tell them when to train" Shawn says.

"You're letting them babysit blondie but not train like they need to" she says in a very patronising tone which I didn't like at all.

"You should just focus on your area of work and not what I'm doing" Shawn snapped.
