It was the next morning, The time was eight a.m. as the girls were seen having breakfast together, some of the others were already awake, but they were busy doing their own thing. The new recruits were also trying to get along with the others and get to know more about them.

Natasha: So, tell me, Anne, what have you been up to all this time?

Anne: Not much honestly, After everything. . . I just wanted a quiet life. Tried to disappear, you know? But that didn't really go well, honestly.

Yelena: What do you mean it didn't go well?

Anne: Old ghosts don't just vanish. People from my past found me and dragged me back into things.

Natasha: *Frowns* Once you're part of it, It'll never let you go.

Yelena: *Sips her drink* And there's never a moment to rest.

Anne: *Sighs* True, and here i am. Back in the fight, whether i like it or not.

Anne took another bite of her food and fixed her hair as she began having memories of the past, The memories she tried to push away to continue a better life, but it always comes back. Yelena and Natasha looked at Anne and frowned a little, They really understood what she felt since they were haunted by everything as well.

Yelena: But hey, We're just so glad to see you again. . .

Natasha: We missed you, you know? It hasn't been the same without you.

Anne: *Smiles* I missed you guys as well, I just don't know how to face everything again. . .

Yelena: It'll take some time to adjust, Anas-

Anne: It's Anne, Remember?

Yelena: Right, Anne.

Natasha: It's gonna take a while to get used to it.

Anne just smiled a little and nodded as she took the last bite of food on her plate as Yelena smiled and said something.

Yelena: Hey, me and Anne, The chaotic duo.

Natasha: *Chuckles* You two? Chaotic? That's an understatement.

Anne: I prefer to call it "dynamic"

Wanda: Not surprising.

They turned around and saw Wanda walking in with a huge smile on her face, She was holding her plate and sat next to Anne as the girls laughed a little as Maximoff looked at Anne.

Wanda: We know Yelena can be the chaotic one here.

Yelena: *Grins* She gets it.

Natasha: Some things never change.

Anne: *Laughs* Totally.

They all shared a laugh together, enjoying the banter between everyone as they continued talking while making more jokes together.

Anne: So explain the Avengers in a short form.

Natasha: Dysfunctional family with superpowers. We save the world and argue about snacks.

Yelena: Don't forget the part where we blow things up unnecessarily! It's a tradition.

Wanda: And then there's me, cleaning up. . . with magic.

Jane: And more hammer-swinging.

Jane walked in, holding a snack pack while smiling at everyone, The girls shared another laugh together as Anne smiled at Jane.

Anne: Chaos, explosions, and hammer- swinging. This is going to be interesting for me.

They chuckled again as Jane took a chair and sat with them as everyone was talking to each other, Anne was listening to the conversation until Natasha tapped her shoulder and smiled.

Natasha: I'm just saying, You're not only part of a team now. You're part of a family as well.

Anne had a genuine smile on her face as Nat smiled and patted her shoulder again, Anne muttered, "Thank you" before looking at the others as they continued speaking to each other.

Meanwhile, Cody was drinking some coffee while watching the girls talk and laugh together, He sighed and muttered to himself.

Cody: I wonder how I'm going to fit in here.

They were all different then him, It was going to take some time to get along and Cody was trying to think of ways to start talking to everyone, He was zoned out in his thoughts, staring at the vase in front of him until someone patted his head.

Caleb: If you keep staring at that, It's gonna burn.

He looked up and noticed Caleb was floating, Odinson smiled and sat next to Keltner as Cody rolled his eyes.

Cody: Yeah, because staring at a vase is definitely going to make it burst into flames. I'm just that powerful, right?

Caleb: *Chuckles* I don't want you burning the tower down, Keltner.

Cody: I would do that, just to ride my motorcycle to the top of the building, you know?

Caleb: *Chuckles* Good plan, but let's not do that.

Cody: Why not? Stark's got billions in his bank account, He can buy another tower for himself.

Caleb: You have a point on that, but you're a hero now, not a human torch.

Cody couldn't help but chuckle at that joke as Caleb smiled and playfully swinged his hammer as Cody looked at him.

Cody: I think we can get along nicely, big man.

Caleb: Big man? I'll take it.

They both shared a small laugh together as Cody sipped his coffee again as both of them were talking to each other.

Benjamin was at his room, putting all his university book's in his bag since he needed to go back to college tomorrow, He wanted to get it done earlier so he won't forget about anything. He closed his bag and had a small smile on his face until he heard his phone ringing, Benjamin gasped and looked for his phone.

Benjamin: Oh my God, where's my phone?

He looked around until he noticed it was under the pillow, Benjamin facepalmed and quickly grabbed his phone, It was a video call from a good friend, He fixed his hair in the camera and answered the call.

This is Felicia Hardy, She is twenty years old and is Benjamin's best friend at university. However, she has a secret identity known as The Black Cat.

She is the daughter of renowned thief named Walter Hardy, from whom she assumed the Black Cat mantle, Felicia is skilled utilizing a combination of athleticism, martial arts skills, and high-tech gadgets in her arsenal, and often toes the line between good and bad.

Black Cat and Spiderman have a complicated relationship, but Benjamin and Felicia don't know about their true identities as each other's best friend and alter ego.

Felicia: Morning Benji!

Benjamin: *Smiles* Hey Felicia! Looking bright, what got you so happy?

Felicia: *Laughs and smiles* Oh nothing, Me and MJ are gonna hang out today.

Benjamin: And no one invited me?

Felicia: No guys allowed, Go and hang out with Ned.

Benjamin laughed as Felicia had a cheeky smile on her face.

Benjamin: I'm kidding, I hope you two will have fun.

Felicia: Thanks, Benji, What plans do you have today?

Benjamin: Just the usual, study, and read stuff.

Felicia: I see, You know what. You should come and hang out with me instead.

Benjamin: *Laughs* I would, but i don't think i got time.

Felicia: Aww, boooo.

Benjamin: I know, I'm sorry. Maybe we can see each other tomorrow at college?

Felicia: *Smiles* Sounds good to me, Oh, my mom is calling me downstairs right now. I'll talk to you later.

Benjamin: Alright, see you soon, Felicia.

She winked and blew a kiss to the camera before disconnecting the call as Benjamin's eyes lit up before shaking his head.

Soon, He left his room and began walking down the hallway until he noticed Alex was texting on his phone, Benjamin smiled and decided to prank him by shooting a web at him, Alex turned around and glared at Benjamin.

Alex: Really? Are you five?

He pulled the web off his phone, flipping it back to Benjamin as Ben was laughing.

Benjamin: Come on, it was just a little joke!

Alex: If you wanted to have a web-off, you could've just asked.

He couldn't help but smirk a little but also felt unamused by Benjamin's prank. Suddenly, he wrapped his arm around Alex as Ambrose sighed and was already irritated

Benjamin: Hey, what's life without a little fun?

He wiggled his fingers, ready to shoot another web, but paused, sensing Alex's irritation.

Alex: Don't you dare. I'm not in the mood for your games today.

But of course, Benjamin didn't listen and shot a web on his shoulder as Alex's eyes widened until Brayden ran away as Ambrose began chasing him while shooting webs back at him.

It was the afternoon as Anne was seen walking around the hallway, The rest of the Avengers were at the common room, talking to each other. Anne decided to take a walk around the tower as she was looking around, She used the elevator and decided to go to the training room as Winters was waiting for the elevator to stop.

Soon, She made it to the training room and looked around, Suddenly she heard soft grunts as Anne looked around again and continued walking, Suddenly she noticed a man who was punching the punching bag.

Bucky threw powerful punches towards to the bag, It was already broken and spilling out, about to fall off the hook. Anne's eyes lit up and noticed there was already two broken punching bags on the ground, Barnes was unaware of her presence and continued to focus on his strikes towards the bag.

Anne couldn't help but watch for a moment, taken by the strength in his movements. The room was silent except for the sound of his punches, That was until one strike broke it down.

She looked surprised as Bucky took a deep breath and looked at the broken punching bag on the ground, Anne was silent for a moment before she spoke.

Anne: Well, I guess that's one way to get rid of your frustrations.

Bucky froze and immediately turned around and saw Anne, who was leaning against the wall, Winters pushed herself away and slowly walked towards him.

Bucky: Didn't realize I had an audience.

Anne: Yeah, are you planning on breaking another one?

Bucky: No. . . I think I'm done for today.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and took off his gloves as Anne continued staring at the punching bag before looking at him, She recognised him. He was the one she saw yesterday, but he hasn't introduced himself yet.

There was a moment of silence between them as Anne cleared her throat and took a step closer.

Anne: My name's Anne, by the way.

Bucky: Oh, um, It's Bucky.

She smiled and extended her hand as Barnes awkwardly shaked her hand, He wasn't used to this kind of interaction.

Anne: It's nice to finally meet you, How come you haven't introduced yourself yesterday?

Bucky: Ah, well, I. . . uh, wasn't really sure how to start. I'm not exactly great at making the first move in situations.

Anne: *Nods* I see now.

Bucky: But I'm gonna talk to the others today. I can't keep avoiding them forever.

Anne nodded again as Bucky gave a small smile to her.

Bucky: I hope you're settling in

Anne: It feels good so far, I know I'm going to like this.

Barnes chuckled and nodded as Anne smiled at him.

Anne: Sorry for interrupting, I should get going now.

Bucky: It's fine, Don't worry about it.

Anne: See you later, And be careful with the punching bag.

He chuckled and nodded as Anne walked back to the elevator, Barnes was looking at her before looking at the punching bag again.

Bucky: Anne. . .

He muttered to himself, almost as if testing the name on his lips, He shaked his head and picked up the punching bag, throwing it to the corner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anne was back at the common room as there was so much chattering happening, Anne walked in and looked at everyone as she noticed Tony was back at the tower.

Tony: Okay, Can someone explain why there are cobwebs over these walls?

Clint: Cobwebs? Was there a spider or something?

Tony: This place is clean, Why would we have cobwebs???

However, everyone's attention shifted to Alex and Benjamin as both of them were sitting in silence before Benjamin gave a smile while Alex was still glaring at him.

Natasha: *Chuckles* You got your answer.

Tony: *Looks at Alex and Benjamin* Oh, great. So the cobwebs are yours, huh?

Benjamin: Hey, it's not my fault Alex's webs are. . . a little more aggressive than mine.

Yelena: *Laughs* Doesn't he always look aggressive?

Alex: I don't know what you're talking about.

Cody: You gotta work on your aim, Buddy.

Alex: He was bothering me.

Benjamin: Hey, It was just a prank!

Caleb: *Chuckles* If you guys keep doing that, your spider friends will show up from the bathroom or somewhere.

Jane: Ewww hahaha.

Everyone in the room shared a laugh together as Tony groaned and crossed his arms while speaking to them.

Tony: Okay, but I'm not cleaning that up.

Wanda: No one's ready, Who's gonna clean it now?

Anne: Okay, the last person that entered the room will clean it.

Steve: Hey, what are you guys talking about?

Anne's eyes were widen when Steve suddenly entered the room and looked at everyone with a small smile on his face as everyone was holding their laughter as Rogers was confused.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
