You and Robbie stared into each other eyes as you both groaned. Sweat dripped down your face as your muscles tensed up.
Your breath was ragged. But you had to keep going.
Y/N: Ah. Ahhh. Fuck!
Robbie: Come on! Come on!
Y/N: Ahhhhh!!!
You pushed yourself up.
Y/N: 1000!!!
Robbie dropped down which caused Elsa to fall off of him while Tandy just cheered for you while she sat on your back.
Robbie: This is....so unfair...fucking hell.
Elsa pushed herself up while Tandy hopped off of you. You got to your feet while Robbie just sat up.
Victor: Not bad, boys. You've been getting stronger in terms of raw strength.
Robbie: Yeah, but, how the hell am I supposed to compete with him?! He's a mutant!
Elsa: Maybe you can stop bitching and work out more instead of trying to fix up that fucking car.
You pulled Robbie to his feet and he let out a sigh.
Y/N: You did good. Especially since we fought off sea gods yesterday.
Robbie rolled his eyes. It was the day after Namor's escape and everyone was just kinda waiting for the next mission. Laura was still with Pearl trying to find out how to get her swords back.
You had offered to pull some strings, but Laura pointed out that this was something Pearl had to do. You agreed.
But it was now Friday. And you had no plans for the weekend. None at all. Hell, no one did.
Victor: You ready for your date tomorrow, Robbie?
You raised a brow and turned to Robbie.
Tandy: Oh, you got yourself a date?
You slowly grinned as you moved closer to him.
Y/N: So, who's this friend of yours?
Robbie blushed and pushed you away.
Robbie: Just someone I met when me and Molly went to New York.
You nodded impressed. You weren't going to push any further since it looked like Robbie was embarrassed enough. This was too easy.
Bobbi: Congrats, by the way. Now, when are the two of you going to go out?
Everyone turned to you and Tandy. You both looked at each other before you scratched your chin.
Y/N: Uh, we talked about it. It's just that there's nothing to really do here at Burns.
Tandy: Date wise, at least.
Moony: I disagree! Take her to a bar, kid. You can get drunk!
You all turned to find Moony and Widow walking up towards the Manor.
Widow: They're too young to drink.
Y/N: We are? Cause, like, we have a 12 pack in the fridge.
Victor: Hands off my beer, boy.
Bobbi: And if anyone touches my wine, it's over.
Widow and Moony both hugged you before they looked over to Victor.
Widow: Where's the rest of them?
Victor: Laura is out. The others are in the manor doing their thing.
Elsa: By that he means everyone is fucking around until the next cunt comes along and wrecks shit.
Victor: Same difference.
Widow raised a brow but turned to you.
Widow: Well, since you all aren't doing anything, I have a proposal.
Y/N: For me? Well, I'm honored, Widow. But the thing is, I'm in a happy relationship and I see you as a mom. It'll never work out between us.
Widow looked at you unamused while Tandu slapped your chest.
Widow: First of all, that was cute. Second of all, I'm already dating Marc.....
Strikers: Who's Marc?
Moony looked around worried.
Widow: And third of all, that's not what this is. I was just wondering if you would like to bring your team to New York for a joint training camp next week.
A joint training camp? Between the Strikers and the Program?
You gave it some thought. Your team was actually leauges ahead of the Program by this point. Plus.....you would have to face them for the first time in almost a year. Well, Nadia, Kamala, and Gwen after a month long absence.
However, it would be pretty neat to head back home for a week or so just to have something to do. Plus you already had a place to stay in the tower.
Y/N: I'll....run it by my team. When would we leave?
Widow: Tomorrow. But the camp wouldn't start until Monday.
Robbie rubbed his chin.
Robbie: Actually, that works perfectly for me. I'll be in New York tomorrow night anyway.
Tandy: I'm in. Can't speak for the others, though.
Elsa: New York? Never been. Well, at least this New York.
Molly: DID SOMEONE SAY....
Loki: NEW YORK?!
The two jumped down from the roof of the manor and landed in the snow. They popped back up and a spotlight suddenly shined on them.
You were outside.
Loki: New York City. The city that never sleeps.
Molly: The Big Apple. Where dreams come true.
Loki: Broadway, Central Park.
Molly: Times Square, the Empire State.
You leaned over to Tandy.
Y/N: I was in it when it blew up once.
Loki: New York City, we honor you.
Molly: Truly a great city.
The two dropped down to one knee and lowered their heads. Toxin then appeared on Molly's shoulder.
Toxin: Whoo! New York!
The light dissapered and you were out of that weird black void.
Victor: What the hell even is that?
Tyrone: They're been having me practice that for days now.
He walked down from the porch and turned to you.
Tyrone: New York sounds like fun. Plus, I would like to meet your old team.
Tandy: Oh! I didn't even think about that part. Would you be okay to...
Y/N: Yeah. I can manage.
Well, that's definitely the majority vote. Guess you had your answer.
Y/N: Strikers, pack your bags. Tomorrow, we head to New York.
Doreen: NEW YORK?!
You all looked at a pile of snow before Dorren's head popped out of it.
Doreen: I always wanted to see New York!
You all stared at her as she continued to lay neck deep in the snow.
Bobbi: How long have you been in there for?
Doreen: What time is it?
Widow: 3:23 PM.
Doreen: Uh.....the whole day.
Okay. Correction on an earlier statement. The Strikers were leauges ahead of the Program in terms of power. The Program, however, was a head of you in terms of having a normal team.
----------
Wanda: I must say, New York sounds actually quite lovely.
Amora: I agree. Save for the fact that the Avengers have jurisdiction there.
You nodded. Right now you were in the hotspring with Wanda, Amora, Robbie, Tyrone, and Tandy.
Y/N: That is true.
Robbie: Doesn't matter. They can't touch you as long as you're a Striker. Right?
Wanda: That is correct.
Tandy: But we also can't go starting fights with anyone.
Y/N: That's also right. But, none of you have anything to worry about. New York is where I grew up. And the Program is family. You'll love them.
Tyrone: Any baddies on the team?
Y/N: Hmm.....in what way?
Tyrone: Any girls that would be interested in a black guy in a cloak?
Robbie and Tandy started to laughed at Tyrone's joke while you rolled your eyes.
Y/N: Absolutely. Just not in the way you're hoping. Nadia would probably want to run tests on you while Danny would challenge you to a mystic off.
You were actually getting quite excited about seeing everyone again. You were nervous at first, but did you really have a reason to be?
Well, yeah. You did. But you also decided you didn't care.
This was just a training camp.
Tandy: Although, I feel like we should address the elephant in the room.
Robbie looked up and found that all eyes were on him.
Robbie: What?
Amora: Who's this girl?
Robbie blushed a bit before he looked back down.
Robbie: Seriously, guys?
Tyrone: Yeah! Come on. Is she cute? What's she like?
Robbie: Y-Yeah. She's pretty cute. And she's really laid back, but also kinda flirty. I was honestly surpised she said yes to a date with me.
Wanda: Robbie, you're a nice guy. Very handsome, too.
Tandy: Plus you're kinda mysterious but very vulnerable. You're very open with your emotions. You're a great guy.
Robbie smiled a bit.
Robbie: Thanks.
Y/N: So, what's her name?
Robbie rubbed the back of his neck.
Robbie: C-Cat.
Tyrone: Kat? Hey, we went to school with a chicken named Kat.
Wanda: Kat is a common enough name. Especially in New York.
Kat? You kinda felt a sting in your gut, but he couldn't mean Cat. No. He said Kat. Not Cat. Plus, wouldn't you have smelt her on him when he got back? And besides, why would Cat be hanging around New York.
She had to still be in hiding somewhere. She wouldn't just be walking around without a care. Would she?
Wouldn't literally any hero in New York see her?
But....this wasn't about her. This was about Robbie.
Y/N: Hey, congrats, bro.
Robbie: Thanks.
Amora: People name their children after animals. How....charming.
Y/N: You're talking about charming as we sit in a magical hotsprings in our underwear?
Everyone looked around and sat there in silence for a moment.
--------------
You tossed your bag on the floor before you sat on the couch. You were packed and ready to go.
Widow: We'll leave on the Quinjet around 6:00 AM. I already told the others that I had a surpise for them.
You couldn't help but smile as you thought about their reactions.
Moony: After that, we party. Responsibly, of course. And by responsibly I mean we're gonna get shitfaced.
Widow smacked his arm.
Widow: Behave. Anyway, after that, we'll get you all settled in. Y/N, Wanda, your rooms were left untouched. Of course, Nadia and Viv still live there so you may have to bunk together.
Y/N: No problem. Me and Robbie can share. Tyrone can get Loki, Elsa with Amora, Doreen is with Molly, and Tandy with Wanda.
Widow: Sounds good to me.
You nodded as you looked looked down at your phone. You sent Laura a text to let her know what was going on. As always, she responded with a middle finger.
Y/N: Ah. Such a lady.
You locked your phone and put it away.
This time tomorrow, you will be reunited with your team.
Hope everything goes well.
