Aspen helped Thor and Loki set up the Christmas tree. She looks at some of the students, who were sitting on the couch, laughing at the movie that played on the TV.
Aspen walked into the kitchen and helped Wanda with the cake. Revera sat alone at the table.
Pietro and Peter came into the kitchen. "Is the cake done yet?" Pietro asked.
"We just got started on the cake, you idiot. Go into the living room", Aspen said.
But Pietro and Peter sat at the table with Revera. "Did you kiss Mr. Banner?" Peter asked.
Revera went pink as everyone looked at her. "Did you sleep with him?" Aspen asked.
Revera shrugged her shoulders. "Where's Bruce?" Wanda asked. Her eyes flashed red and returned to their normal color.
"Wait, calm down", Revera said.
"Calm down? He slept with you", Aspen said.
"Are you together now?" Peter asked Revera.
"It's just one night", Revera said.
"What was one night?" Tony asked as him and Natasha came into the room. No one said anything. "What, you think I'm going to tell someone?"
"That's exactly what we believe", Aspen said.
"Did something happen between you and Banner?" Tony asked.
"No", Revera lied. "He's still afraid that I might kill him".
"Will you?" Bruce asked from the other room.
"No. Not all the guys I kissed ended up dead. I'm not like that anymore", Revera said.
"You're a Black Widow?" Aspen asked.
"A different Black Widow than Natasha, but yes. Sort of", Revera said. Bruce came into the room. "Do you want to have a drink?"
"Is it poisoned?" Bruce asked.
"No. Holy Neptune. I'm turning over a new leaf. Besides, you're too cute to be killed", Revera said.
"Thanks?" Bruce said in a questioning tone.
"Fine. Don't take a drink with me", Revera said.
"Bruce take a drink with her", Natasha said.
"Do I have to?"
"Bruce, she said she's sorry".
"No, she didn't", Bruce says as he cautiously steps closer to Natasha and Revera.
"Well, I can't because you always run away from me", Revera said.
"You're quite scary, Mrs. Petrova", Peter said.
"Thanks", Rev says sarcastically.
"Banner, take the drink. You're making her feel bad", Tony said.
"Well she scared me", Bruce said.
"Hey, where's the cake?" Pietro asked Aspen.
"Why don't I shove it into your face", Aspen snapped.
"I think it's her time of the month", Pietro said.
"Pietro", Wanda hissed.
"What?"
Aspen rolled her eyes. As she and Wanda walked away, she tripped on her own two feet.
Before she hit the ground, Loki caught her. "It's better than falling for 30 minutes", Loki said. The girld looked at him with confusion. "You wouldn't get it", Loki says, turning his head as he drifts into his thoughts. Aspen could tell by the look on his face that whatever he was thinking about, it traumatized Loki.
Wanda stands up straight. "Thank you", she said. "Do I even want to know why you were falling for 30 minutes?"
"No", Loki said quickly.
"You think that's annoying? Imagine having a twin brother", Wanda said. Pietro laughed until he realized she was talking about him.
"Hey!" Pietro protests. Aspen and Peter laughed.
"Now, could you let me and Aspen finish baking?" Wanda asked everyone.
Tony and Nat walked out of the room. Wanda and Aspen went back to cooking. Pietro, Peter and Loki sat at the table in front of them.
Revera looked at Bruce. "Should we talk about last night?" She asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea", Bruce said. He leaned closer to whisper to Rev. "There are children presence".
Revera smiled. "Are you sure you don't want a drink?" She asked.
Bruce didn't say anything. He looks at the cup on the table and finally says. "I guess it wouldn't hurt", Bruce finally said.
Their cups made a klink when they came together. "Do you think she's pregnant?" Pietro whispered to Peter. Loki whacked him in the back of the head.
"I don't know. Should we check her stomach?" Peter asked. Loki smacks Peter in the back of the head.
"Guys, Rev is not pregnant", Aspen said.
Thadden walked into the kitchen. "Did they do it? Did she sleep with him?" He asked. Wanda nodded. "Well, Aspen, I think you're going to have a cousin".
"Now that you're here, I think we should all talk", Aspen said to Thadden, Wanda, Peter, Pietro and Loki. "Now that Tony is my godfather, he thinks he's Sirius Black. And I don't know how that is".
"Aspen, get ready to watch a bucket load of fandoms", Pietro said. "We're going to start with Harry Potter since you don't know who Sirius Black is".
"Then, I want to introduce to the Hunger Games. Then, Star Wars. Then, Divergent. And then we're reading the Percy Jackson books", Peter said.
"Hunger Games sounds like a real tear jerker", Aspen said.
"It is, love", Thadden said.
Steve walked into the room. "Aspen, Thadden, Rev. You have a mission", he said.
