46

Somewhere around midnight everyone was falling asleep on the air mattress. Athena and Carol were curled up together on one while Yelena was flopped over on Natasha's legs and Wanda was passed out against Maria, andPepper knocked out on Valkyrie. It was one giant cuddle party in the training room, everyone was snoring off their night of candy, greasy food and alcohol. Athena's arms were draped around Carol's waist as they lay spooning together underneath the blankets.

The clock on the wall read one pm when everyone finally woke up. Realizing they had slept most of the day away the women groaned and slowly got up. "Man...we must have partied hard last night." Pepper groaned. "My head..." Wanda grumbled. "God I'm gonna go drown myself in my shower." Yelena grumbled. "Me too." Natasha groaned. "Ok...let's go shower and then go out to get some greasy food for a late brunch." Pepper said. "Good idea!" Athena said as she grabbed her pillow and blanket and followed everyone out of the training room.

A half an hour or so later everyone was showered, and dressed in casual clothes. Athena took her time feeding and setting up her dogs on a timed exercise program that would give Maverick and Sage a fifteen minute exercise on the dog treadmills but would only run for five minutes. "Ok you two are all set. Food's all dished up, water too. Be good, and I'll be back later." Athena said as she grabbed attached the dog's harness to the treadmill before leaving them to their automated run.

When she got upstairs she saw everyone standing around waiting. "All set?" Natasha asked. "Yea, Maverick and Sage are hooked up for a fifteen minute exercise, and they've got their food and water set up for afterwards." Athena said. "Ten minute run?" Wanda asked. "They're automated dog treadmills. You hook them to a harness and they walk for five minutes, then run for five minutes then five minutes of slow down for the last five minutes." Athena explained. "Ok let's head out! Brunch is on Tony so let's go somewhere fancy!" Pepper said as they all headed for the door.
