"Aw, cute. Maybe I should start adopting. I'm not getting any younger," Asteria laughed. She frowned for a moment, there was one other thing she would have to talk to Clint about. Her smile reappeared quickly on her face, however, as she continued talking. "I really do want kids, but I haven't...
Steve tilted his head slightly at Aurora's response. He wasn't sure how a question about where she was working could be considered loaded. It seemed pretty straightforward to him. That was until Aurora took out her phone and pulled something up to show him. Looking at what she had pulled up, it...
"So you're adopting now as well," Asteria teased as she handed over her luggage. It seemed to be a common theme with Clint that he just couldn't help but take on a parental role in any situation. He had been that way even with the other Avengers, which could be very amusing at times.
"Really?"...
"Oh, alright," Steve looked confused at the woman's answer. "I'm not sure where he would think I am." Steve never took vacations when everyone else did. In fact, he never took vacations at all. Not working just wasn't his thing. Some might call him a workaholic, but it was just who he was...
Asteria looked up from her phone with a smile when she heard Clint's voice as he approached her. She laughed a little when he said Laura wasn't with him. It seemed the kids weren't either, but it wouldn't be long before she saw them.
"That's okay, I can curb my excitement for a few more...
The Avenger's compound was fairly empty since many of its residents and workers were away, but Steve enjoyed the quiet. As much as he enjoyed the noise and hustle and bustle of the compound, it was nice to have some quiet downtime. He could walk across the compound without being stopped about...
After the final battle with Thanos, the many superheroes who had joined the fight went their separate ways again. The future of the Avengers was now a mystery as virtually all of its original members had left the team in one form or another. While there were plenty of others who might take up...
Valerie didn't put up much of a fight after Captain Marvel's display of power. She knew she wasn't capable of fighting her way out of this one. While she had powers, Captain Marvel was sure to be a superior fighter. She was someone who had had years of practice fighting, Valerie had only gained...
Valerie glanced around the alley she was in to make sure the coast was clear. There was no one else in the alley for now, but someone could show up at any moment out of any of the doors that emptied out into this alley. She held up her hands as a shimmering opal snake in them she gave it a...
Sara's heart fell when she heard Jonathan say his mother had been admitted and it fell further when he said it was likely she wasn't going to make it. She could only imagine how difficult that would be to go through alone. "Hang in there, Jonathan. Just give me a moment."
She set down the...
Sara was cooking dinner while her husband played with Bianca in the other room. It was a pretty normal afternoon for them. At least until the phone rang. Wiping her hands on a towel hanging from the stove's handle, Sara made her way over to grab the phone before it stopped ringing. She had yet...
Sara greeted her husband when he returned home later in the afternoon. As he took off his coat, she told him she had gone to meet Jonathan that morning.
"Oh yeah? How did that go?" her husband asked as he walked over to give her and Bianca kisses.
"It went well. But can you believe he hasn't...
Sara smiled as they said goodbye unsure of what was appropriate before deciding to just keep it simple. "Goodbye, Jonathan. I'll see you around maybe." She picked up her purse from the table and headed out the door and onto the street where she got in her car and drove home. Back home, she went...
"Then maybe getting on social media will help you get in touch with some old friends once again. Or you might run into some people now that you're back home. There are quite a few people who live in the area still." Sara had found that out when she and her husband had moved back to her hometown...
"That's probably a good idea. It's a good way to keep in touch with people you know," Sara replied when Jonathan said he didn't have a Facebook account yet. "Or you can get twitter or instagram, a lot of people use those too."
Sara thought for a moment when Jonathan mentioned Alex, she did...
"If you mean do I still follow them on social media? Some of them yes," Sara had to laugh. It seemed like high school was so far away now and she hadn't done a good job at keeping in touch with high school friends. She still saw glimpses of their lives now and then when their posts popped into...
"Well, if you do end up adopting and ever need some parenting advice, you know who to call," Sara smiled once more as she focused in on their talks about adoption. She figured that was best so they didn't get wrapped up in the past and what could have been. Their lives had been laid out and...
