When Y/N woke up the next morning, the right side of Wanda's bed held the sleeping form of said Avenger. Pushing themselves up a little, Y/N craned their neck to look over at Wanda's alarm clock. 6:47 am. Rubbing the sleep from their eyes, Y/N rolled back over and plucked their phone off the nightstand. Now sitting up properly, they swung their legs off the edge of the bed and began the daily, morning routine of checking their phone. Opening their emails, Y/N saw three fresh emails in their inbox, the first of which was from Tony. Y/N pressed a quick kiss into their girlfriend's hair and heaved their recently awakened body off the bed. Tapping open the email, Y/N padded softly towards Wanda's ensuite, reading the email as they did so.

Hey Y/N!

I can't make lab time with the spiderbaby today, 'cos of a last-minute meeting that Pep says she told me about but definitely didn't. Already told him he'd have you instead, hope that's ok! (He normally gets here around half 4, leaves at 6.)

Thanks!

Tony

Smiling at the very Tony email, Y/N typed up a reply while JARVIS got their morning shower going.

Morning Boss

That's all ok with me. Working on something I'd like another set of eyes on anyway, so shadowing your kid won't be a problem. Have a fun meeting!

Y/N

And with that sent, Y/N set their phone down and stepped into the shower. Briefly allowing the perfectly heated water to cascade down over them, Y/N ducked their head out from under the water and called out to the AI.

"JARVIS, send a message to Wanda."

"Certainly, what is the message?" JARVIS replied back, and Y/N swore the AI had got plunder to be heard over the shower. It was times like this Y/N was reminded how smart Tony was, he just didn't always know when and how to use it.

"Morning Wanda, woke up early so I'm going straight to the labs. Hope training goes well, Bucky said that Steve said they wanted you in B today, so good luck. Love Y/N."

"Will there be anything else, Mx L/N?"

"Um, oh yeah, don't wake her. Just tell when she wakes up- wait can you tell when someone wakes up?"

"My sensors are programmed to pick up noticeable breathing changes, and as such, I can sense someone waking."

"Well, that's not creepy at all." Y/N instinctively mumbled out.

"I believe Mr Stark envisioned the ability for medical reasons, but I can easily switch it off and pass on any relevant feedback."

"No, no it's fine JARVIS. Don't worry." Y/N replied, dipping back under the shower's warmth.

~~~~~

Walking into the lab, Y/N pocketed their ID pass as the door slide shut behind them. They walked straight over to the coffee machine in the corner, switching it on and choosing a regular cappuccino. "Sometimes the simple things are the best." Y/N off-handily thought to themselves.

As Y/N waited, they moved over to their desk, sat down and pulled up their current task on their computer. Writing the SIRE meeting notes. SIRE, or Stark Industries & Renewable Energy, was one of the first green energy initiatives of its kind set up by a major US company. Started almost ten years ago, this would be the first meeting chaired by one Y/N L/N. Definitely not a scary or intimidating prospect at all.

Before the worries could spiral further, two different pings were heard. Attending to the coffee machine first, Y/N pushed their chair over to it and taking a quick sip before wheeling back. Y/N checked their phone next, seeing that they had a message from Wanda.

Wanda: Training Room B?

Y/N: Yeah? Didn't they tell you?

Y/N: Also no happy 'good morning Y/N' text?

Wanda: Fine. Good morning Y/N/N. Hope you slept well. X

Y/N: Morning Wanda. : ) xx

Y/N: I did actually reckon the day off did me good

Wanda: and no they didn't tell me.

Y/N: If it was supposed to be a secret, don't let Nat kill me

Wanda: I don't know she might kill me today anyway

Y/N: I asked Peter and he's just as scared of her

Y/N: Looks like I'm on my own

Wanda: I'll remember you

Y/N: : (

Wanda: How did James know?

Y/N: Steve told him and he thought I should know too

Y/N: To warn you

Wanda: Great. Now I can't wait

Y/N: I'll remember you Wanda

Y/N typed back, smiling to themselves - talking to Wanda always made them feel so at ease. Just thinking about her was enough to give Y/N that fluttering feeling in their stomach, the kind you get when you've just asked someone out and you're waiting for their reply. Now that Y/N was thinking about it, the two of them hadn't even been on an actual date. They'd have to fix that. Maybe somewhere-

"Come on, Y/N, stop procrastinating and write those notes."

The SIRE meeting was fast approaching; belated date planning could wait.

~~~~~

Just as Y/N was typing up the third draft of their meeting notes, JARVIS' voice spoke from the room's concealed speakers.

"Mx L/N, Mr Parker is requesting access to this floor."

"Let him JARVIS." Y/N said, saving their notes just as the vigilante walked in.

"Hi Mx L/N!" Peter said excitedly, as he dropped his backpack beside the bench opposite Y/N.

"Peter, just Y/N is fine, really."

"I know, it's just a habit I have. What're you working on?"

"Just a script for the meeting I'm chairing, I'm hoping you've brought something more fun."

"Well yeah actually, I have." Said Peter, while fishing through his well-worn bag. "Ah-ha!" He finally said, putting a hastily looking drawing down on the bench.

Y/N got up and walked around to look at it more closely. "I'll be honest Peter; I was expecting tech."

"Well, it will be tech. It's a reconnaissance drone, and while I'm not going to find Carbon Fibre at school or in a dumpster, I'm hoping you or Tony's lab has some spare."

"Definitely, it'll be in there." Y/N said, pointing over their shoulder to the store cupboard. "Anything else?"

"Um yeah, can I borrow a pencil?"

"Sure, here." They said, taking one out of the pot on their bench and handing it to the high-schooler, who took it gratefully. "What happened to yours?"

"Well, I had it this morning, or maybe it was yesterday evening. I've definitely seen it recently." Peter said, already drawing up a clearer blueprint.

Y/N just laughed, before starting work on the little spider drone, at Peter's direction.

Sometime later, JARVIS spoke out to them, "Mr Parker, a Ms Michelle Jones is requesting access to this floor."

"Er, yes please JARVIS."

"Wow, 6 already huh?" Y/N asked glancing around for a clock.

"No, it's 5:30, but MJ and I are going on a date tonight."

"Oh, first date."

"More like seventh." MJ said as she walked into the lab, clad in bike leathers and holding out her hand. "I'm Michelle."

"Y/N." Y/N said, shaking the girl's hand.

"Come on Pete, else we're gonna be late." Smiling as Peter slid his own hand into hers.

"Goodbye, Y/N. Oh please don't tell Mr Stark, we went on MJ's bike. He'd kill me."

"Wouldn't dream of it. Oh, don't forget the drone." To which Peter flicked his wrist and grabbed the unfinished drone with his web.

"Oh yeah, thanks Y/N."

"Don't mention it, see ya around you two." To which they got two byes back.

"Right, let's get these notes finished off."

"Two people leaving on a bike, two kids even."

"Two kids?"

"Can confirm one of them is Peter Benjamin Parker, he's currently interning at Stark. The girl I don't recognise."

"Are you taking photos?"

"Yes, I'm taking photos!"

"Jesus, I was only asking. We can run scans and confirm the girl back at base."

"It's too risky being out on the street."

"We're in a generic white van, we blend in, don't worry."
