The last real team training she did was with the Thunderbolts and felt like a lifetime ago. All of her more recent training had been “on the job” with Cap and the core members of the team, none of which were on Earth right now.<br/><br/>If she was going to learn to work with the likes of Captain Marvel, and Iceman, not to mention Wanda, this was the perfect opportunity to start to learn how. Besides, it would be interesting to see how good Wanda really was. Melissa had heard many things about her fellow Avenger and wanted to see just how closely they matched in capability.<br/><br/>But there was more, Melissa observed to herself. Without saying it outright Wanda obviously was trying to put her more at ease. Melissa guessed her poker face was not as good as she thought. Regardless, Melissa greatly appreciated Wanda’s gesture and its intent. After all, the Sacovian was probably the only woman here with experiences remotely similar to her own, and she had become a trusted part of the Avengers, right? Melissa’s concerns began to fade, just a little.<br/><br/>Melissa smiled, and sat up, coffee mug in hand. “Sure Wanda, I’d love too,” Melissa said. “It has been a while since I’ve done any sparing with anybody just for training.” Melissa took a gulp of coffee. “After breakfast ok with you?” She then took a real hard look at Carol in the kitchen and suppressed a giggle. To think Captain Marvel, one of Earth’s mightiest heroes was offering to make pancakes for everyone for breakfast. How utterly normal. Well, even space-traveling superheroes apparently needed to eat.<br/><br/>“You know what, perhaps I’ll have some pancakes after all,” Melissa said.
