Alexis let Steve help her, and ended up leaning heavily on him once they were in the elevator. She felt like shit, and she had no idea what had happened. But she was lucid enough to realize one thing.

"Clint's never going to let me go anywhere with you again."

Pietro managed to hold her for a moment as he stripped off his light jacket, bundling it up and setting it over her eyes and around her ears, to help muffle things for her and to give her something else to focus on. The elevator was taking too long, so he took the stairs up to the guest rooms and found a quiet one.

"I'll talk to him," Steve promised quietly. "Come on, let's get you into your room first." Steve helped her down the hall once the elevator opened, taking her to the right room.

Autumn settled a bit closer to him, taking comfort in his presence. The layer around her eyes and ears helped, and she was (very) slowly acclimating her senses again.

Alexis actually needed his help, and once they were in her room she kind of just face-planted onto the bed with a muffled groan.

Pietro settled in with her, trying to give her time to adjust again and recover, even though what he really wanted was to figure out how to make sure this never happened again.

Steve let her settle in, and pulled the blanket up over her.

"Rest," he said. "I'll go talk to Clint, and then to Phil and Charles and see what we can figure out."

Autumn curled up on the bed, pushing aside Pietro's jacket and putting her sunglasses on the nightstand. The room was quiet and dark, and she was already feeling a bit more at ease as Pietro sat down on the bed. Reaching out, she snagged the hem of his shirt.

"Stay?" she asked softly.

"Report later," Alexis ordered in a mumble, already curling up in her bed.

"I'll stay," Pietro agreed after a moment, getting comfortable there. "You just rest."

"Best to report now," Steve disagreed softly. "I'll go talk to Clint and then send him in here, how's that?"

"Thanks," Autumn murmured, settling a bit closer to him. She closed her eyes, just relaxing there on the bed.

"Mrph. Okay." Alexis managed to get comfortable there. "Lemme know later what you three decide." Since she knew that those talks would likely take a while.

"Any time," Pietro said, settling in. He wasn't tired, but it was reassuring to have her close and settled in like this.

"You'll be told, I promise," Steve said. He left the room, closing the door quietly behind him. Then he went to find the others.

Autumn murmured vaguely, but she was most of the way asleep. One hand stayed caught on his shirt, though, not letting him go.

Pietro slowly moved his hand to her hair, brushing bits of it out of her face. He was cautious, trying not to overstimulate her again.

Alexis didn't quite sleep while she waited to hear from someone, but she did relax again.

A little while later, Clint went into Alexis's room quietly, closing the door behind him.

"Hey," he said softly, sitting down on the bed.

"Hey." Alexis shifted a bit to look at him. "Warn me if you're gonna start yelling, ears are still a little sensitive." She managed a little grin.

"Good." Alexis grinned at that and relaxed again. "So apart from that incident, training was fun."

Clint snorted.

"Not surprised," he said. He grinned. "You ever seen Steve when something's thrown at him? Guy's like a goddamn snake."

"I know," Alexis said with a grin. "He still fights like a scrapper from Brooklyn, though, which is kind of hysterical."

"It really is," Clint agreed, snickering. "You ever see any of those blogs online about it? Apparently it's a Thing that really annoys people."

"Yup, not surprised," Alexis said with a grin. "Although some people have gotten some of the best clips of him fighting."

"Please," Clint said, rolling his eyes. "It's only because Phil said not to do it from the SHIELD systems, so Tony's got the best tech to use." He grinned. "You know you'd do the same thing."
