Ghost

Chapter Six

                                      Carols POV

   The mission was a bust. More than a bust. Nothing was accomplished and we lost any lead we had. We were back to square one. Everyone was pretty quiet getting back on the jet. Unsure of what happened, what to do now, or what to do next.

   I was kind of happy though. It meant I got to go back to Spencer that much sooner. I'm sure they won't ask me to stay while they wait for another lead and I'm going to take that leap.

   Since no one was talking I opened my phone. I saw a few messages from Spencer, one being another video. I eagerly opened it. I couldn't help but laugh watching another video of her singing, also earning weird looks from the team. But Wanda knew.

   She sat down next to me. "Is it another video from her, can I see it?"

   I wanted to share so I did. We both laughed, ignoring whatever the team did this time. We talked quietly so they could all soak in their
disappointment.

   "Sooo does this mean you're going back to her now?"

      "Yes. Once we're back, I'm going to sleep, say goodbye to everyone and head straight for her house." I couldn't help but be excited. This could be a big move.

      "Ah I'm so excited for you! You'll have to let me know how it goes!"

      "Oh I will. You're in this now."

      We both laughed as she said, "I'm glad to be apart of it. I really hope it works out."

   "Speaking of things working out, is there anyone in your grasps?"

   I think I caught her off guard. "Oh uh no, not really. Not that I don't want something but no one special has come around. I'm still looking for my Spencer." She thinks she's funny, nudges my elbow with hers and wiggling her eyebrows.

  I play roll my eyes as I say, "yeah well, you can't have my Spencer."

  "Ugh fine. But if she has any siblings.."

  "Don't think she does but you'll be the first I tell." I laugh. I can't blame her but still.

      We continued to chat for a while longer before we landed back at the base. Exiting the jet and heading for those rooms, I walked with Wanda to hers. She had asked if I wanted to crash with her for the night and I accepted, being very tired and knowing I could talk to her about Spencer.

                                Spencer's POV

      I made it back home crashing on my couch immediately. Although it had gone roughly the way I wanted, it was still good to be home and be done with it.

      I couldn't help but let my mind wander to thoughts of this big empty house. It's so big and open and all of a sudden it seems like too much. Something that seemed to hold so many possibilities before, now seems to be just what it actually is; a house. To think I actually pictured a future with Carol here.

   But who am I kidding? The avengers are never going to give up looking for the Ghost.

         That doesn't mean I couldn't do something reckless, right? Right. So a big party inviting my girl slash friend and her superhero friends? A great idea. One big hoorah before I disappear, giving this house the kind of life it deserves, if even for a night. Perfect.

      I quickly sent out a message to Carol;

'Hey babe! Hope your mission is going well. I was hoping you'd be done by Saturday night because I want to throw a party! This house is huge and empty.  I want to fill it for a night. And maybe I want to see you. You can invite your little hero buddies. And for those that can't fly themselves, I'll send my jet. Let me know! Xo'
