Genevieve's POV:
If I'm being honest, life has amazing lately. Do Pepper and Cassie continue to get on my nerves? Yes but I've learned to just ignore it all. I'm happy with Steve, I have a strong friendship with Tony, and Wanda adores them both.

All of my friendships have gone back to normal and nothing too crazy has happened. We have our battles but it's not like Hydra or anything too much for us. Everyone seems to have lightened up on Loki a bit but not too much, they still despise him. I wish they could see him how I do.

"Hey Genevieve, I was wondering if you wanted to grab some lunch? If you don't have any plans of course" Peter asks from the other side of my bedroom door while knocking. We haven't had much time to bond since I came back to I think it would really benefit our friendship.

"Yeah I'm free, let me grab my shoes and wallet first" I call out as I look for them. "Leave the wallet idiot. It's my treat" he laughs. I roll my eyes and put my shoes on quickly before heading out of my bedroom and smiling at him.

We decided to walk there so that we could talk. I remember the last time Peter and I went out to eat and that didn't exactly have a lovely end to it. "Thanks for agreeing to this, I miss the friendship we had all those years ago" he breaks the comfortable silence we had been walking in. I gave him a small smile and grabbed onto his arm, "So do I. I've been meaning to ask you about your relationship with Cassie. How long ago did that happen?" 

I notice him start grinning at my question, he seems to be truly happy with her and I think it's beautiful.  She may not speak to me anymore but I still want them both to be happy. "It's great, we've been together for a couple years now. I really love her Genevieve" we arrive at the sandwich shop we were getting lunch at. Him and I both order our food before continuing the conversation.

"That's really good Peter. You deserve nothing less than the best, I'm happy for both of you" we sit down at a booth as we wait for our food. "Maybe we could go on a double date with you and Cap sometime" he adds on. I would really like that, it could give me a chance to talk with Cassie and be with some of my favorite people. "That's a great idea, we can talk to them about it once we're done. We eat our lunches and talk some more before heading back to the tower.

"Hey, have you guys seen Rogers?" I ask everyone when we arrive back. "Or Cassie?" Peter chimes in. Everyone else was downstairs but the two of them. They all look at each other and shake their head. "They're probably in their rooms" Drax answers. Peter and I decide to just go upstairs together to look for them, it would be a good time to ask about the double date anyway. 

Cassie and Peter's room it closer to the stairs than Rogers so we stop their first. Peter knocks to make sure she's not changing or anything but there's no response. He looks at me confused and knocks again- still no answer. He decides to just open the door but when he does he sees that she isn't in there. We exchange strange looks and continue to Rogers room. There's music coming loudly from the other side but I still knock. I don't get a response, I'm sure he just can't hear me over his music. I take it upon myself to just walk inside.

I turn the doorknob and push the door open to enter. I don't get even a step in before realizing what was going on. Peter and I both gasp at the exact same time. Right in front of us, Cassie and Rogers are having sex. They must've heard us or felt our stares because they both turn to look at the door. Cassie jumps off of him and they both cover themselves with the blanket. Rogers quickly turns off the music, "Genevieve, it isn't what it looks like!"

I don't say a word. I just stand in the doorway and stare at my boyfriend and ex-bestfriend in bed together. Tears start building up in my eyes. "It isn't? I don't think you need to be naked to play Twister" I bark at them and turn to leave. Peter is still staring at them in shock and just slowly shakes his head no. "I cannot believe this" he barely whispers. I can tell he's about to breakdown so I grab his arm so we can both leave. 

We walk back downstairs slowly and everyone stops talking to each other. "Gen? What's going on? You both look miserable" Tony walks to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. I didn't have time to answer before Rogers and Cassie start sprinting downstairs. They had gotten dressed but it wasn't hard to connect the dots when you look at the situation at hand. Tony's eyes move up to the two and his jaw clenches almost immediately. "What the fuck did you two do?" he says in a husky voice. I let myself look over to them as well and notice Cassie starting to smirk, "The third word."

I feel my hands ball into fists and Peters arm tenses, I forgot I was still holding onto him. Rogers elbows her and gives her a dirty look. "Can I talk to you alone baby?" he asks and gives me a look full of sadness. I scoff and start looking around the room, "Who are you talking to? I know damn well it isn't me." He sighs and closes his eyes. "It was a mistake Gen. I love you" he keeps his eyes closed as he speaks.

"I don't give a fuck if it was a mistake Rogers! And don't you fucking dare call me Gen ever again or you won't have a tongue afterwards" I snap at him. I see Tony start to hold back a smile out of the corner of my eye. "I can't do this right now" I let go of Peters arm and start heading for the front door. As I walk away I hear everyone gasp, what could possibly be happening now? I turn to see Rogers and Cassie both floating in the air and not being able to breathe. I know I'm not doing that so it leaves one other person. 

"Wanda, put them down right now" I look to my daughter and her entire face is red as she stares at them. She only responds by shaking her head now. I crouch to her and kiss the top of her head whilst running a hand through her hair. She quickly relaxes and I hear the two fall to the ground. Loki picks her up and carries her upstairs so that the incident doesn't happen again. She realized I was upset and that they were the reason for it so she tried to help. She's a smart girl but we need to learn how to control her emotions.

I wait for Loki to close the bedroom door before heading outside again. I feel Tony grip my wrist, "Please don't run away Gen." I can see the worry written all over his face as he says this. "I won't let Rogers be the reason I leave everyone my daughter and I love. Not to mention, I couldn't take Wanda away from her father" I give him a smile that he returns. His grip on my wrist loosens and I walk outside. Why does this shit always happen to me.
