He leaned his head on top of mine. "Dad, we both should let go of the hurt. Phillip hurt me a long time ago...I am growing but not too fast that I'm scaring you."
He chuckled. "When did you get so wise?"
"I think Peggy had more effect on me then I knew." I gave a genuine laugh.
"Peggy wants us to move on..."
He knew I was saying the honest truth.
"I'm sorry." He spoke In a hushed tone.
"I'm sorry too." I looked up at the dark sky, my anger, anxiety, sadness and stress was gone.
It only took one 'pep talk'
"You barely ate, let's got back inside." He stood up and pulled my from my comfortable ball.
"Come on pippi longstocking." He pulled me inside.
"Hey!" I scoffed and walked back over to my seat.
We continued eating, pretending like there's no big fight coming.

"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing." Fury was talking.
I was slowly picking up dishes and putting them in the sink, Laura was busy doing something else.
"What about Ultron himself?" Dad spoke.
"Ah. He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."
"He still going after launch codes?" Tony was throwing darts.
I sat down, Lila moved from where she was and sat in my lap coloring something.
"Yes, he is, but he's not making any headway."
"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare." Damn Tony.
"Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the NEXUS about that."
"NEXUS?" I looked up. Lila tapped on my arm and handed me the picture she drew. "You will be an amazing artist when you grow up." I complemented her.
She gave a toothy smile and giggled. I tickled her side, which made her laugh harder.
I looked up to pay attention to the conversation again. "Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that." Natasha seemed out of hope.
"I do, I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard."
"Steve doesn't like that kind of talk." Nat teased and looked at dad.
"You know what, Romanoff?"
"So what does he want?" Fury snapped us out of the jokes.
"To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies." Dad replied.
"Person bodies. The human form is inefficient, biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it."
I don't ever understand a word that Tony says.
Bruce was looking at the picture Lila drew for Nat.
"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed." Nat referred to Tony and Bruce.
"They don't need to be protected, they need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve." Bruce knew.
"How?"
"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"

I was in the bathroom taking out my braids, everyone is sleeping tonight but leaving at the first sign of light.
I was sleeping in Lila's room because she's going to share with Cooper i think.
I washed the remaining glitter off my face and walked across the hall to where I was sleeping.
Lila had a nightlight that projected stars, very cute.
A knock was on the door. "Yes?" I turned around.
Dad walked up to me. "Hazel I think you should stay here tomorrow."
I sighed. "It's my fight too, you'll need all the help you can get."
"You'll be safe here, with Laura."
I sat on bed and pulled the covers up so I could get in the warmth under them.
"Dad, I was a idiot the first time when I ran out, refusing to listen but I know it's not a joke...I'll listen to whatever you say."
He pulled the covers over me and tucked me in. "Promise?"
I smiled. "I promise."
I lied down fully, accepting rest.
"Good night tiger." He kissed my forehead and shut off the light, making the stars from the nightlight cover the walls fully.
"I love you daddy."
"I love you too."
Awww they finally made up. M E M E T I M E
