After the events surrounding Jean's death, you made a decision—one born from grief, but also hope. You wanted peace. A place where you, Erik, and your son Peter could live without fear, without the world trying to tear you apart again.

You found it. A small, quiet town tucked away from the chaos of the world. A place untouched—for now—by war, by politics, by pain.

As you walked its streets, you could feel it: the sorrow clinging to the people here. It echoed your own. But beneath it, there was still something else—possibility.

You reached for your communicator and made the call.

Within minutes, Erik descended from the sky, landing beside you. Peter arrived next, a blur of silver speed halting just inches away.

"Erik," you said, meeting his eyes. "I want us to live here. I want us to be a family again."

He looked at you for a long moment, his expression hardened by years of loss. "You know it could hurt us again," he said quietly. "It always does."

You stepped closer, placing your hand on his chest. "Don't worry," you whispered. "I won't let anything hurt us—or our family."

Blue energy crackled at your fingertips. You raised your hands and cast a shimmering wave across the town. The magic expanded, rising like mist, then forming a glowing hex that sealed the town inside—a barrier of protection, of peace, of intention.

Erik watched the energy swirl, then looked back at you.

"I just want you to be happy, my love," you told him, voice trembling with conviction.

He didn't speak right away. But after a breath, he nodded.

And in that moment—against the silence, the magic, and the distant echoes of what you'd lost—you let yourself believe, just for a moment, that you were finally home.
