As Nick was in her top floor and getting a bag together, she knew that Tony was waiting at the Compound for her, which is also where he was talking with Vision - because Vision had to contact him about the fact that Wanda was gone. She tried to just keep herself far from that conversation though, as she just shoved extra clothes into her bag and was now dressed in the same jeans, t-shirt, and flannel as before. 

She had asked Tony if Happy would pick her up because Tony was heading out, but he just said that Happy had to pick up another teammate, so she just said that she could get herself back to the Compound no problem - after packing up her things, that is. 

After shoving all her things into her backpack, Nick then shut off everything in her upper floor before she put Giddy down for "sleep", then she headed downstairs and set her bag on the counter before moving around to open the fridge. 

She looked over all her food items for a moment, before eventually pulling out strawberries and chocolate milk - pouring herself a glass, before beginning to snack on the fruit - as she also moved over to the wall. But right before she was about to let the hidden palm scanner, scan her palm, she paused by a knock.

The girl turned around and couldn't help a smile as she then moved over, setting the bowl of strawberries down before she moved over and opened the balcony door. "Hey."

"Hi." Spider-Man said, and just by his voice, it was obvious he was smiling. "Um, I just... wanted to see how you were doing."

"I'm good." She chuckled as she let him inside, and he nodded. "That's - That's good. And your hand?"

"Healing." Nick said with a soft smile as she lifted up her hand, but couldn't help to tease. "And I think it has something to do with your medical skills."

He lightly laughed, "I think we both know who has the best medical skills here."

She smiled with a nod, before then stepping closer to him. "Speaking of which... I should probably check how your injury is coming along."

"It's been a while. It's pretty much healed." He waved off, causing her to raise an eyebrow at him, before she then pointed out the door. Knowingly, he sighed - but still couldn't get rid of the smile - as the two went out onto the balcony and headed up to the roof. 

They moved over to her roofed area, the sun beginning to set, which made it look even more pretty out - the two moving to sit on the couch, as Nick didn't pull out the kit yet, because she knew that it should be healing. She just wanted to make sure it was good, and that her stitching job didn't leave him with a scar. 

"You know, you're bossy, right?" He commented when she made a hand movement, gesturing for him to move his arm up - letting her lift up his sweater enough to check out her work, as she hummed. "What's your point, Itsy Bitsy?"
