I own nothing.

Bug catcher: Write about insects.

The next morning Elena woke with a pounding headache and a very warm back. She tried to sit up but felt restrained around her waist. Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked down to see a hand and arm around her. She froze and wracked her brain trying to remember the night before.

When Tony woke up he felt someone in his arms. It used to be a familiar feeling but by this point it was quite alien. He hadn't been sleeping around since Obiedah tried to steal his Arc Reactor and he realized how easily someone could kill him. He looked down and saw a flash of brown hair doing the same. He began to panic and wrack his brain for the events that occurred the night before.

They both were thinking and came up with similar conclusions.

We got drunk, I told her all my biggest secrets and insecurities, then we slept together and not in the platonic sense. This could be a problem or this could be a stepping stone... I think it might be both; I defiantly still have too many issues to start anything with her. Tony thought, he felt Elena move and knew she was defiantly awake. He debated pretending to still be asleep but decided that would make things worse.

We got drunk, exchanged secrets and life stories, then we... well at least now I know he wasn't lying about overcompensating with his tower... Oh god, what am I going to do! I really like him and now this! Oh god, I lost my virginity to Tony Stark... huh, I'm not as miffed about that as I should be... Elena decided to stop thinking about the night before when she felt Tony shift a little farther away from her and remove his arm.

"Well this is a little awkward..." Tony said, Elena turned to face him with a massive blush on her face.

"Just a little... so... how does this work exactly?" Tony frowned and winced slightly when he remembered that he had just taken her virginity.

"Um... I'm not entirely sure... I haven't slept with anyone in a while so I'm a little rusty on the morning after protocol." That wasn't true but he felt like she needed to know that he hadn't slept with anyone recently. They were both saved from the embarrassment of the moment when JARVIS spoke up.

"Sir, Mrs. Hartley, the Avengers have been asked to assemble. It seems a horde of massive insects that are human size are terrorizing Brooklyn and Director Fury would like it to stop."

"Wait, he wants me out with them?"

"Yes, he said it shall be your introduction to the world."

"Well then, I guess you get to use the new suit Bruce and I made you."

"You two made me a suit?"

"Yeah it was a surprise. I have it up here, why don't I go get it?" Elena nodded and watched as he left the room pulling on his underwear on the way. Yeah, defiantly not overcompensating. She thought before leaping up and putting on her bra and underwear. He came back in with his eyes cast at the ground and holding out a single piece of material.

"You can use the bathroom in here... I just need to grab my clothes from the closet and then I'll be gone." He rushed to the massive walk in closet and grabbed what he needed before rushing from the room.

Fifteen minutes later and everyone was assembled in the conference room and ready to go. Tony arrived last as per usual and everyone left together.

When they arrived the insects were terrorizing civilians and demolishing the streets, so the team set out to begin helping. Elena was flying and shooting alongside the Falcon and they were making progress. The whole ordeal was done in less than an hour and the press had already given her a name: Sparrow. They didn't catch the maker of the bugs but when they landed and inspected one of the dead soldiers Elena just about threw up.

"This is disgusting."

"No kidding, come on let's go back to the tower." Clint stated. She grew her wings and began the flight. She and Sam flew together and Tony followed them in his suit. They arrived at the Tower and went to the conference room to be debriefed. After that Tony and Bruce ran from the room for the lab to start their work for the day and play with all their new insect corpses and weapons. Everyone went to do their own thing to calm down after the morning fight and Elena was left alone with her thoughts about what exactly she was going to do about Tony.
