After waving off Penny Elliot came waltzed to the kitchen to get her plate of food. Elliot was still in her own world when she started eating her food, 3 eggs, 5 pancakes, and 6 sausage breakfast links. Her metabolism wasn't as fast as Peter's but she for sure still had to pack extra calories in each meal.
Talking about Peter, he was sitting next to her with a comically large stack of pancakes. Although they were abandoned since Peter was half asleep, leaning forward in his seat.
All was good til Tony had to ruin it, "So, how was the sleepover?". If it was anyone else they would have thought Tony was genuinely asking, but Elliot knew better than to trust Tony while we had a light glint in his eye. Elliot had to answer strategically, "It was good", she didn't look up from her food.
"Was it regular good, or good good." Clint looked up from his food to suggestively wiggle his eyebrows. Elliot turned a bit rosy around the cheeks and Steve glared at him for being inappropriate. "It wasn't anything like that, we ate, talked for a bit, then fell asleep."
"Did she join you or did you sleep cold and alone last night?" Bucky said dramatically and Steve playfully smacked him in the arm. Elliot opened her mouth and closed it, she knew better than lying to an ex-assassin. The silence and Elliots increasingly red face and answered the question.
"Wait Elliot, did you and Penelope really sleep in the same bed?" Sam asked what everyone was thinking wearily. Elliot shoved a large piece of the pancake in her mouth and then blamed that on why she wasn't answering. Peter straightened up confused, thinking he heard something wrong.
Tony came from behind Elliot, hugged her head tightly and started swaying back and forth. "Oh no it's true, my baby's innocence has been robbed from under my nose, I should have let you sleep up here, I should have!!!" Tony was dramatically weeping.
"Ah. Tony. Stop it." Elliot tried to pry off his arms from around her neck.
"Well I didn't know this day would come so quickly. Elliot, we're going to need to have a talk about sex and sex safety. You do know what a Dental Dam is right?" Rhodey said amused.
"No, no, Rhodey Bear don't encourage her!" Tony loosened his grip but was still swaying left to right annoyingly.
"Tony stop, stop, STOP IT." Elliot got tired of this so she shocked Tony to make him let go. Nothing too strong she used the same voltage as one of those electric pens used to prank people.
Tony yelped and quickly let go to rub his tingly arms. Elliot turned to finish chewing her food. As she was going to drink some milk, to help her chew and swallow, she heard Nat say "I bet you didn't tell Penelope to stop last night", quietly but still loud enough for people to hear.
The redness spread down to her neck and Elliot started choking on her bite of pancake. Well it wasn't full out choking, it's just that she swallowed too soon and the stupid piece was taking its time going down her throat.
Bruce looked shocked. Steve told Nat off. Rhodey, Sam, Bucky, Clint, and Wanda were laughing. Peter was hitting Elliot's back to help. And Tony started weeping dramatically this time from a distance.
Once Elliot was able to swallow and breathe properly, she saw Sam open his mouth but she stopped him. "Alright no more questions, I'm leaving."
"But you haven't finished your food yet." Peter said but Elliot was already getting up. "Doesn't matter, I'm leaving."
Elliot entered her room, she took off her flannel and jeans to put them in a bag. Then she changed into her suit, "Welcome back Elliot" Evan's voice rang through her mask. "Hey Evan, how I've missed hearing that New Jerseyan of yours, how've you been?" Elliot finished changing by stomping in her right boot. "Well we haven't gone out on patrol in 3 days so nothing much."
Has it been that long? "Sorry bud, I've been busy with this dumb field trip thing"
"Oh yes, Friday told us, she even showed us the security camera feed, I must say-"
"Wait, wait, wait, who's us? You and Friday like, hang out when you're offline?" Elliot walked over to the table where she left her Bang and put that in her backpack too.
"Well us refers to Friday, Karen, sometimes Vision, and I. And yes you can say we all 'hang out' when you and Peter aren't in your suits. We all go to the 'parking lot' is what Tony calls it. Friday monitors while Karen and I wait til the suits reactivate. Vision can access this so he sometimes 'hangs out' with us as well."
"Oh wow, that's cool I guess. How would you describe it?" Elliot put a hair brush and a hair tie in her backpack.
"Well Elliot I think you forget that I'm an AI so I don't actually feel anything to describe. Terms I would use though, are 'lucid dreaming' or 'undergoing nastasia'."
"That's still nice though at least I know you're not lonely and bored between patrols. You get to see the best reality TV show, Keeping Up With The Avengers, trade mark." Elliot opened her window and sat on the frame looking down at all the air between her and the ground.
"Yes it really is entertaining." Elliot rolled but smiled fondly. It may sound dumb but she was glad she had a good relationship with her AI.
"Are we going to patrol right now? Because I'm picking up on a petty bike theft happening south west from here that you can start as a warm up."
"No, I can't go patrolling right now. I'm going to be busy in the tower all day. Maybe we could go at night since it's Saturday. Besides, south west from here is very close to Hell's Kitchen and we know how Double D gets when we steal a crime from him."
"Well do you need my assistance at the moment?" Evans' voice sounded loud and clear despite the wind.
"Yea can you ask Friday where Peter and I are supposed to meet the tour later? I don't feel like asking Tony and I definitely don't want to go outside."
"1 moment… she says that you guys meet up in training room A-3"
"Does that one have window access? If so, can you open it and mark it in my lense please."
"Yes window access is available. Marking it now"
Just then a red marker appeared in Elliot's field of view. It was about 40 feet down wards and on the north side of the building.
"Cool thanks Evan, that's all I'm going to need at the moment." And with that Static slid off her sitting position and started heading for the window. Once they got within 20 feet of it they didn't slow down to crawl in. They aligned themself so they could fly in and tuck into a roll on the soft gym floor.
"So what are you going to do now?" The AI asked, Static looked around the training room to see if anyone was in there. No one. "One sec, put yourself on speaker no?" Static took off their mask and set it down.
"Last night Bruce and Tony, at the very last minute, told Peter and I that we were going to hold a workshop as Static and Spiderman. So I have to jot down ideas of what we're going to actually do." Elliot grabbed a seat, and her Bang to finally open, and started to think.
"Would you like me to keep track?"
"That would be appreciated, thank you Evan." And with that Elliot started to think of how the hell she can entertain a group of highschoolers for an hour with.
