They eventually decided on watching now you see me, a heist film about a group of magicians. Anna was zoning out a bit as it was way past midnight in England, but the faster she adapted to the time zone, the better and so she thought it better to keep going through the tiredness.
That night Anna slept well, and woke up at around eight. She went through to the kitchen and saw that Natasha and Clint were both up, but there was no sign of any of the others. Clint immediately offered her eggs and bacon, which she accepted. She put her plate in a spare place on the table and motioned to the coffee machine, "is there any coffee going spare?" she asked, hoping that there would be, as much a she hated being reliant on something, she did need her morning coffee to function efficiently. "Of course, just take a mug from the cupboard above."
As Anna was eating her food and drinking her coffee, Clint made small talk and put his dishes in the dishwasher and then he sat at the island with his own cup of coffee. Anna noticed that Natasha remained silent throughout, in fact she hadn't said a word to Anna, and currently she was looking at her with a curious expression that Anna couldn't decipher.
The rest of the day was spent looking around the rest of the tower, and Anna learnt where the gym was and other useful things like that. Fury sent some files over from shield headquarters on the suspected Scorpia members and their current locations to look over and to try and figure out the best way take them down.
The avengers didn't want to have to deal with these that night, so they went to bed and planned to look at them the next day.
Anna went to bed but slept restlessly, the files had brought up uncomfortable memories of her experiences with Scorpia, and when she did finally get to sleep, it was plagued with nightmares:
"Just pull the trigger, you're born for this Anna" Anna was standing with a gun in her hand and there was a figure standing beside her, urging her to pull the trigger.
"No, please!" she begged, and her hand shook at the small figure that was standing against the wall, "please, she's my mother, I can't do this," the figure beside her laughed, a evil cackle, and began to speak, "Anna, why the hesitation now, you've already done this before. Anna's stomach dropped and she felt sick. "I don't know what you're talking about" her voice broke and tears were streaming down her face. The figure in the corner suddenly stood and rushed towards her, the once beautiful face twisted in hate, and then there were more figures, all saying the same thing, "you killed me." Anna was begging, screaming crying, it wasn't her fault, she was so sorry, she never meant for any of this to happen.
Anna awoke with a gasp and realized there were tears streaming down her face, she looked over at the alarm clock on her bedside table, 5:30am, she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep now, so she might as well get up. She put on some leggings and a t-shirt, grabbed her iPod and then walked through the corridor to the kitchen. She made herself a cup of tea, and cursed when the kettle bubbled noisily through the room. She sat at the island and sipped at it, slowly calming down, taking deep breaths, and trying to rationalize with herself that it was only a dream. It was a recurring one, but it always scared her, no matter how many times she had it. Once she had finished her tea, she looked over at the clock, it was ten to six, and there really was no point in going back to bed, even if she no longer felt panicked and claustrophobic. She put her mug in the dishwasher and then went down to the gym.
She warmed up with a gentle jog on the treadmill and doing some stretching and some katas, and then moved onto the punch bags. She was taking out her stress and anger on the bags when she sensed someone behind her. She twisted around into a defensive position and then looked up, it was Steve. "Sorry, you scared me" Anna said quietly while trying to catch her breath. "That's ok, you're good," said Steve and smiled slightly. "Um, thanks, do you know what the time is?" said Anna; she could spend hours in the gym without really realizing it. "It's about eight, you been here long?" "Yeah, well it was about six when I came in, I couldn't really sleep, I guess it's just jet lag," said Anna, and when Steve nodded, she breathed an internal sigh of relief that he had bought the white lie, after all, she was still a bit jet lagged.
"Anyway, I should probably have some breakfast, I'm starving," said Anna, she felt awkward now that there was someone, especially one of the avengers!
She walked back to her room and had a shower and changed, then walked into the kitchen again. This time it was Bruce and Natasha that were having breakfast. She pulled up a chair and poured herself a cup of coffee and put a slice of toast in the toaster.
