Natasha and Yelena both got out of bed, surprised to see Kate Bishop wide awake and playing with the dogs. Yelena tells them, "I'll make breakfast for today, are eggs and turkey bacon fine?" Natasha approved, but she noticed Kate was looking at something else. She noticed some plastic fencing epees.

"Oh, Kate Bishop, you like fencing, right?"

"I love it, high school champion. Play sometimes in college, too. I usually win." Yelena smiled, "okay, I won't bother to challenge you. I have breakfast to cook anyway." Natasha smirked, "Yelena would always lose to me. I bet I could beat you though." Yelena got surprised, as did Kate. "Natasha, this isn't a hand-to-hand fight. You won't beat me. I'm a champion." Natasha argues, "I've trained as well. I challenge you." Kate cockily said, "I bet you $20K that I can win!" Natasha puts on an evil smile. "Okay, I'll give you $20K if you win, and if I win, you don't give anything. But there's a catch. Play without your shit." Kate looked surprised, "What? No, I'm not doing that."

"What's the matter? Kate thinks she'll get hit?" Kate reluctantly agreed and took her shirt off. She had washboard abs that definitely made Natasha and Yelena jealous. The blades were epee anyway, so there wasn't too much of a risk for injury. Yelena didn't like what she was seeing, and said that Natasha can't just give herself an advantage like that. Because of this, Natasha took her shirt off, too. She was reluctant in doing so as well. She may have had a bit of a tummy, but she'd shown time and time again that she was not to be underestimated. Kate knew that fencing was a gentleman's sport, so she knew to only aim at her legs and feet, where she was covered. "Play till 5, en garde, go!" Kate quickly moved and hit Natasha in the thigh. "Kate, 1-0. Go!" Kate then attempted a flashier move, and after an upwards parry, she hit her foot. 2-0. Then she got her in the leg again, and Natasha was getting frustrated. This time, after a few parries on both sides, Kate had her guard down, and Nat hit her between the ribs, this knocked Kate down. She signaled for water. After some water and a 30 second break, she continued. 3-1. She landed another leg hit after much trying, and was up 4-1 now. She decided that that solar plexus shot was kinda dirty, so she'd get her back. For the last point, they both lunged and parried a few times. Then, Kate parried Natasha hard enough for her to hold her epee blade to the side, and have her body facing her frontwards, while her feet were still aligned correctly. Suddenly. Kate lunged at Natasha, and did a move scaring both sisters. She stabbed her blade right into Natasha's belly button. Natasha fell backwards and curled over in pain. Yelena quickly rushed over, and pushed Kate aside. She looked, and thankfully since they were plastic blades, Natasha was fine. However, her belly button had turned red from the impact, and Natasha was in pain. This kind of thing was unusual, so Yelena got an ice cube, so she could break it apart and the little ice particles would form an icy pool in Natasha's belly button. "Thanks, Yelena. Don't be mad at Kate, I had it coming."

"No, Natasha. I'm sorry." Natasha smiled, "Don't worry, you just hit your natural bullseye, heh." She lay there on the ground, and Yelena told her, "Kate. Stay here and watch Natasha, I was busy playing referee that I haven't started breakfast yet. Make sure she stays down, as it's important for the ice to stay there."

"Understood." Kate noticed the scar on Natasha's stomach. "How'd that happen?" And so, Natasha told her about how she got it protecting a scientist from the Winter Soldier, and he just shot through her and killed him. "I have a scar on my back as well, but since this is the front, everyone sees the belly scar. That's why I don't wear bikinis outside anymore. A bit over a week ago, I went out in one for the first time in awhile. Yelena insisted on it, so I put a sticker over it so no one could see the scar." Kate encouraged her, "I don't think you should stop wearing bikinis because of that. I honestly think it's badass, shows that you're a great woman, willing to take a bullet for a random stranger. Even if it didn't work, that takes an absurd amount of courage." Natasha smiled, "Thanks Kate, that means a lot. When you put it that way, maybe I would try it out again. But...I can't" Kate was confused "Why?" "Because, y'know..." She grabbed her belly, and shook it a bit. Kate laughed, "look, you have a bit of a tummy, yeah. I won't lie." Natasha hit her in the stomach for that. "Whoa, those abs don't lie." She felt them a little bit more, and hit them a few more times. Then Kate hit Natasha's belly, causing it to jiggle a bit. "Heh, sorry. Just needed to return it. But, you shouldn't be ashamed of it. Honestly, I love having abs but they're not always worth it. I mean, I barely eat sugar and don't even drink soda or anything other than water and maybe some alcohol to celebrate once in a while. Occasionally milk, but not too much." Natasha was surprised. "Surprising that a child like you doesn't like soda" Kate smiled, "I'm not a child, I'm 20. But...yeah, I don't like soda that much, and I'm easily capable of not drinking it." Yelena interrupted them, "Breakfast is ready! Has been for a while!" After they ate, Natasha said, "'Lena, since we're in our bras, why don't you take your shirt off, too?" Yelena shrugged, "Sure, whatever. Only women in the house, it's fine." She did, and Natasha rolled her eyes. Yelena said, "Yes, Kate has nicer abs and like 4% body fat. I know." Kate responded, "You're not bad yourself, Yelena!" Yelena told her, "Yes, I fill my belly with slushies. And I love my six pack so much, that I use slushies to protect it with a layer of fat. Yours is vulnerable, Kate." Kate laughed, "In a way, yeah true. My last loss in a fighting match before Natasha was my junior year of high school, when a guy hit me right here," She patted at the top of her higher abs, right between her ribs. "He knocked the wind out of me, and I couldn't fight the same without it." Yelena asked, "Didn't you want to bulk up to solve that problem?"

"Nah, due to my lesser mass and leaner build, I can simply dodge and move out of the way of attacks. Here, try and hit me there. Yelena punched, but Kate knocked her hand aside. She did it a few more times, but Kate swiftly dodged them all. "Those hits would likely still do that, but maybe not as bad. Meanwhile, I can take as many punches to the gut as you do. Go for it." Yelena tried a few punches to Kate's lower belly, but her abdominal strength allowed her to take it like a champ. She smirked and said, "I could do this all day." Natasha said, "Shut up, that's not your line" while laughing. Kate hit Yelena between the ribs. Kate said, "And respectfully, you have enough fat for that not to quite work for her." Yelena insecurely looked down, "but my belly still hangs a few too many inches in front of my legs." Yelena looked at Natasha. "It's starting to look normal again. Let's put our shirts back on again, but Natasha, go to bed without your shirt, we need do check up on you tomorrow morning, too."

"Okay, whatever you say." They hugged again, and Yelena said, "Has your belly always touched that much? OKAY PLEASE DON'T PINCH MY ARMS, IT WAS A JOKE!" Natasha smiled, and they all put their shirts back on. She didn't know that Yelena was planning on surprising her.
