Peter and Molly sat on the couch, curled up together watching the news.

"The bank where a robbery was just prevented sits just behind me. The suspects were found tied up with vines.
Witnesses sighted a blonde woman clad in green just moments before vines came through the doors, grabbing the suspects and wrapping around them. Whoever this new hero is, thank you from the city of New York." The news anchor said.

Peter had an amused look on his face.

"That's a cool power." He said

"Peter," Bucky said leaving the lab "Going to gym, you coming?"

"Yep!" Peter said, kissing Molly on the head and standing. "I'll be back soon."

"If not I'll come find you." Molly said

The two men left.

  Molly laid on the couch, staring at the ceiling.  Peter had been gone for a few hours when her phone rang. She sighed.

"What mom?" She said, answering the phone.

She rolled her eyes as her mother immediately started screaming at her. She was drunk.

"You know what? This. Is done." She said

Loki and Tony turned around, impressed by her tone. Being with Peter had given her a new confidence.

"No. I'm not dealing with this anymore. I'm 28 years old, you don't get to tell me what to do."

Her expression turned defiant.

"Your house?" She scoffed

"You have a room here." Tony whispered as though he could already hear her next sentence

"Alright, let's see how long you can pay the bills in your house with no job and a drinking problem. Peter and I will be by to get my stuff tomorrow and you can take over the lease by yourself."

She hung up as her mother started to yell.

"Feel better?" Loki asked

"Much." She said "I'm gonna go find Peter."

She got up and left the room.

She wandered the winding halls until she found the gym.

  "Is this building just a big circle?" She asked as she entered.

Peter went flying off of a high bar, landing on his feet.

"More like a spiral. You're on the third floor."

She nodded.

"What are you doing up here?" He asked

She smiled.

"I just stood up to my mom." She said "Told her to take the apartment. I'm done with her."

Peter smiled, pulling her to him.

"I'm proud of you." He said

Bucky smiled and left the gym, waving to them as he walked.

"Tony said I could stay here."

"Really?"

She nodded.

"I'll be staying here for a while too."

"Why?"

"Aunt May isn't home. The apartment feels weird without her."

She nodded and pulled him out of the gym.

"You need a shower." She laughed at her sweaty boyfriend.

--------------------

Molly and Peter had spent the rest of the day with Tony and Loki. No one was entirely sure where Steve and Bucky went or where Nat and Clint were. Bruce was in his lab all day.

The sun had set and Molly had done the dishes. The men were watching a movie.

  "I'm gonna go shower." She said quietly

She walked down the hall towards her room. Peter heard the shower turn on and laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Tony whispered low enough Loki couldn't hear.

"Her room's at the end of the hall. She's in mine." He whispered back.

   Tony shook his head before hitting Peter with a couch pillow.

"Behave." He chuckled.

"Never."

Loki reached behind him and slapped Peter in the back of the head.
