After debriefing Fury, Athena and Natasha sat on the sofa together talking amongst themselves in Russian. No one else in the compound could understand it which is why they talked to one another this way. Once they finished their conversation they looked around the room. "How does everyone one feel about having Athena cook dinner tonight..." Natasha asked. "I'm ok with it!" Tony said. "Me too!" Sam said. "What are we having?" Clint asked. "Well we made a pit stop on the way home from our mission. We went to Romania, and I picked up a some packages of venison from a deer I had shot before coming here." Athena said. "Venison? Sounds good to me!" Bucky said. "Yea, I'm gonna make venison burgers and chips." Athena replied. Everyone nodded in agreement.

With dinner settled Athena returned to her room to relax and play with her dogs who were outside lazing in the sunshine. Shaking her head Athena sat on her futon and leaned back tipping her head back and closing her eyes, soaking up the silence of her bedroom. The knocking caused Athena to sit up straighter and look at her door. "Yea?" Athena asked. "It's Carol...can I come in?" Carol asked. "Doors unlocked." Athena called back. Carol walked in and shut the door behind her before joining Athena on the futon. "Heard you're making venison burgers and fries tonight." Carol stated. "Yea, do you like venison?" Athena asked. "Never had it actually, but I'll try them since you're making them." Carol replied smirking.

"You're ridiculous..." Athena teased. "I am not! You take that back Romanoff!" Carol exclaimed swatting Athena with a pillow. "I will not take it back Danvers!" Athena replied as she returned the attack by swatting Carol with a pillow. "Oww!" Carol yelled out playfully even though it didn't hurt. "Oww? Seriously! What a wuss!" Athena teased laughing. "Wuss! Your evil Romanoff!" Carol exclaimed throwing a pillow at Athena's head. "Evil! I'll show you evil!" Athena said grabbing her old nerf gun and shooting Carol with it. "AHHHHHH!" Carol yelled as the foam darts hit her. "HAHAHA! TAKE THAT DANVERS!" Athena yelled as she continued shooting Carol with the foam darts.
