"natalie!" mj exclaimed and ran to embrace her best friend, "i missed you!" they giggled and let go. "me too," seven smiled widely before hugging mj tight again. stephen and natasha stood behind them and smiled, while the rest of the avengers exclaimed in joy when they saw seven back again.

"seven!" peter and ned ran forward, joining in for a group hug. soon, everyone joined in before finally settling down in their seats. "which movie?" bruce asked, holding on to the controller. "thor ragnarok," thor suggested.

"i am not watching a film of us being baboons, especially doing get help. we are never doing that again," loki objected.

"iron man 1," peter exclaimed. "no," tony said idly. "harry potter," mj and seven said together. "sounds good," bruce said and selected the first movie of harry potter. there were still objections but before they knew it, the avengers were doing a full on harry potter marathon.

"kamar-taj is kinda like hogwarts," peter said after 'harry potter and the goblet of fire' finished and the end credits were rolling. "and stephen is harry potter?" wanda asked.

"urm... n-" stephen stuttered.

"what's the next movie?" rhodey asked.

"order of the phoenix " bruce said, scrolling down to see the next movie.

"the what?" loki asked.

"food's here!" pepper exclaimed. the ladies helped to bring the food to the table in the living room, and soon enough they were all munching down on chinese food.

"so..." stephen looked at natasha and said. "yes," natasha continued, "the reason why we initiated this movie night is because we wanted to talk about our nightmares... and all." everyone looked up from their food. "nightmares? we're not little kids anymore," loki scoffed.

steve rolled his eyes at loki, "why the sudden initation?" natasha looked at steve, then at seven, who was twirling the noodles with her chopsticks. "ohh..." steve realised, and glanced around to see that everyone knew what was going on.

"i'll go first!" stephen said, swallowing the last of his dumplings. he was about to begin, but got interrupted by a tug on the hem of his shirt. "you don't have to do this you know," seven whispered. "it's alright," stephen smiled and ruffled the kid's hair.

"had a dream about dormammu two nights ago," stephen said and the place instantly quietened down to just the avengers chewing on food. "that i didn't defeat him and... well yeah," stephen shrugged, "but i did in real life. that's all that matters."

"i had a nightmare too," bruce said, "about... him. big green guy."

one by one, the avengers went around in a circle to tell each other about the nightmares they had, even mj and ned. and as they went around, they continued to encourage and comfort each other for they were family.

"i'll share mine," seven uttered after everyone was about to carry on with the next harry potter movie. everyone fixed their eyes on her, waiting for her to continue.

"there are a few... but the most recent ones were all about my time back at the labs, and occasionally in the orphange," she said. "labs?" thor asked.

"yeah... people experimented on me in the past. i was a lab r-" "don't say that," pepper stopped her. "it's alright," seven shrugged, "but that was already 12 years ago at least... every nightmare i get brings me back to when i was in the labs being experimented on and when i wake up i seem to feel different. but maybe that's just my imagination."

"what do you mean by different?" vision asked, finally speaking. "today i woke up and found out that i have night vision," seven said quickly, "i tried it out but i'm just not sure if it's true."

they sat there for a moment. "well... why not we try it out now?" tony asked. stephen and natasha immediately turned to glare at tony but seven said it was alright.

deep breaths nat, deep breaths.

"friday? turn the lights down to 2%," seven said after tony told everyone to hold something. it took seven a short while to adjust to the dark, but she was soon able to see everything in the room. "can anyone see anything?" tony asked. everyone replied with a no, and seven began.

"okay... bruce is holding on to the remote controller, steve, clint, rhodey, thor and loki are holding on to green tea cans. wanda and vision... you guys know what yall are holding on to... pepper and tony are holding on to wine glasses, peter, bucky mj and ned you guys are holding on to chopsticks. natasha and stephen..."

seven stopped as she saw people moving into the corridors silently, armed with weapons. she looked closely and immediately saw their names and their stress points.

"shit," she whispered, starting to shake uncontrollably. "what's wrong?" stephen asked, trying to reach for her. "in- intruders... hydra. their coming towards us." seven managed.

"friday? suit up," they heard tony from a short distance and in an instance everyone's weapons and suits came flying in. "bruce, bucky, stay with seven. mj, ned, stay with peter. peter, take them out of the tower as soon as you can. bucky, take the headphones and wear them immediately after the lights are back on," steve started. "they're coming," seven turned to look at saw that they were already at the end of the corridor. steve quickly continued their plan quickly and told seven to bring bucky and bruce out of the place.

"friday, turn the lights on to 80%," tony whispered.

the lights were instantly turned to 80%, and the avengers were seen in a formation, standing in front of what awaits them.
