Natasha woke up early the next day, to find Kate already up. "Kate? You're up early!" She responded, "yeah, cooked some eggs for breakfast. For everyone." Natasha was glad she didn't have to cook for everyone, but she noticed some hot Cheetos near the couch. "Did you have some of my cheetos?"
"Yeah. I haven't had them in awhile." Natasha sighed, "How about a quick sparring match for the rest of them?" Kate instantly got up, "Right here, right now. I've been waiting to redeem myself." Their talking woke up Cooper and Lila, who went outside to watch. Natasha attempted a few punches, and then a leg sweep, which Kate dodged. Kate blocked a very good punching combo, and then swept Natasha's leg after she missed a kick. "Not bad, Kate." Eventually, Kate punched Natasha's arm after blocking it, making it go numb. When Natasha tried to hit with her other arm, Kate knocked it out of the way. Cooper shook his head, as he instantly knew what was happening next. Kate kicked her in the lower stomach, causing her to fall over. She immediately pinned her down, and Cooper did the honors of hitting the ground three times. Kate had redeemed herself and beat Natasha. Natasha suddenly said, "Who hit the ground like that?"
"Hi aunt Nat..." She turned around and saw Cooper and Lila. "God dammit, you guys saw that?" Lila said, "Yeah. Kate, you're so cool!" Cooper said, "You gotta teach me sometime!" Kate was glad that the two Barton siblings thought she was cool. She brought the hot cheetos over to them. "Y'all want some?" Cooper instantly reached into the bag, getting a handful. Lila got some as well. Kate let them know, "Don't eat too much, I cooked breakfast for you guys!" Cooper joked, "Maybe you could help me with that, too!" Lila teased, "He needs a lot of help with cooking!" Lila and Cooper ate together while the parents, Yelena, and Nate still sleeping. Kate talked to them while they ate. "Lila, I saw Cooper push you into the pool yesterday, but I didn't see what happened before." Lila explained, "I was pretending to have another stomach cramp to scare Cooper as a prank. And then he pushed me into the pool after I showed him that it was fake." Kate told her, "Yeah, you kind of deserve it then. Cooper loves you a lot, you shouldn't scare him like that." Cooper added, "Yeah, you shouldn't. But it's okay, at least you weren't actually hurt at all." She agreed. Cooper told her, "Kate these are really good! Nicely done." She thanked him. "But I'm guessing this is a smaller breakfast than what you usually have, right?"
"Yeah, I'm a bigger guy, I need to eat a lot to stay healthy and on track." Lila and Cooper finished their food, as Yelena, the parents, and Nathaniel all got up. Clint said, "Damn, who made this? It looks good!" Cooper pointed towards Kate. "It does, and it's as good as it looks." Lila then called, "Kate, I went out to the pantry and found some lemon cakes. Me and Cooper were gonna have some, do you want any?" She told her, "I usually avoid sugar..." Lila rolled her eyes, "Look, you have washboard abs, and very nice legs. Hell, even your arms are close to Cooper's!" Cooper gave her a side-eye. "Okay, that last part was an exaggeration. But the point is, a bit of sugar isn't gonna kill you." She agreed. She told Lila, "You're not so bad yourself, kid. Volleyball definitely keeps you looking good." She said, "Thanks. But my legs and abs aren't as defined as yours-" Kate told her, "Lila, don't worry. You shouldn't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to you." Lila then said, "I never thought of it that way, that's a good way to think. Thanks, Kate."
"Of course." She then said, "And I couldn't break the laws of genetics like my brother, so I got my mom's short height." Kate told her, "Makes sense. I'm 5'8, but to be fair, my mom's 5'7 so it makes sense why I'm this tall." Kate ate a lemon cake. "No kidding, girl. This is very good!" Lila told her, "Yeah, they're really good. I noticed them in the pantry last night when me and Cooper went to get a late-night snack. I didn't have one until just now though." Yelena asked, surprised, "Why didn't you just have it last night? You would've gotten away with it." Lila answered, "I try not to have sweets before bed. It makes my stomach hurt." Clint added, "Lila is a really strong girl. She definitely has some of daddy's genes. But her body can be a bit sensitive when it comes to food." Her mom added, "Yeah, she can get tummy troubles sometimes." Lila shook her head at the way her mom worded it and added, "And it sucks, because I love sugar, but it hurts to eat before bed." Cooper added, "Yeah, and it always feels so good to eat that sugary goodness right before sleeping." She jokingly rolled her eyes, knowing her brother was just trying to get to her. Natasha said, "Then there's me. I can eat anything, but my stomach is physically sensitive. As you all unfortunately are well aware now." Cooper said, "Yeah. As soon as Kate knocked your hand out of the way, I immediately knew what was going to happen next." Nate asked, "Why is it so sensitive?" Natasha responded, "I don't know. It's been that way since I was little." Yelena confirmed, "It's true. She would always react more to those hits than others. And makes sense, they hurt." Lila added, "Yeah, they do. Not everyone can take a hit as well as Cooper or Kate."
"Or Lila." Cooper added, "Don't sell yourself short, sis". She laughed, "I'm not too good at taking hits, bro. That accidental shot to the ribs that one time hurt." She knew how bad he felt about it, so she quickly added, "It's okay though, I know it was all accidental. I may be stronger than I look and able to hit pretty hard, but I can be sensitive to pain sometimes." Nate guiltily said, "Hopefully me elbowing into your tummy didn't hurt that much, right? It was an accident, I'm sorry" Lila laughed, "Not that much, don't worry, little bro. You're fine." Clint, confused, asked, "Wait, what happened?" Lila explained, "Nate started to fall asleep while hugging me, but he accidentally turned at a bad angle, elbowing me in the stomach. I was fine though, it just hurt a little bit." Nate decided to add, "I gave her a hug afterwards, but she responded with a monster hug. I used to think that only you, mom, and Cooper could do that, but apparently, Lila can do it, too!" Lila laughed, "I don't do volleyball and archery for nothing, y'know?" Cooper said, "She learned from the best!" Lila agreed, "Yes, after being victim to it so many times, I've finally learned it." Nate made a little demon smile, and said, "I know that Lila has a certain other weakness." Natasha, curious, asked what it was. Cooper said, "Sibling secret." Cooper and Nate knew that it was that she's very ticklish.
They had all finished breakfast and returned to their rooms to hang out for a few hours before going out to lunch. Lila was sitting on the bed. She was on her phone scrolling through Instagram, and liking posts, when suddenly Nate crawled over to her, and attacked her sides. She began to laugh, while telling him to stop. He wouldn't, so she picked him up and put him aside. Cooper told him that he should stop. Little Nathaniel complained, "But it's been so long since our last tickle fight!" Lila couldn't help but smile, "Maybe we can have one tonight if we're not tired. Cooper, would you want to join us?" Cooper sighed, "Maybe. It's really nice to just watch my two siblings having fun though." Nate added, "And Cooper isn't as ticklish as you, sis." She agreed. "Yeah, we can do it tonight. But make sure the door is closed." Little Nate smiled, this should be fun. They all just hung out in their rooms until it was time for lunch.
