"Hello?!" I called out walking into my sister Sarah's house.

"Aunt Nessa!" Sarah's boys yelled running up to me and hugging me.

"You guys have gotten so big." I said and smiled. They led me into the kitchen to where Sarah was cooking breakfast.

"Wow, you showed up..." She trailed off and I groaned walking up and hugged her. I kissed her cheek.

"Of course I did. You called and said you needed help, here I am." I said and she sighed.

"Well...I maybe just didn't call you..." Sarah said and I glared at her.

"Who did you call?" I asked confused.

"It's not important he is busy and probably wont come." Sarah said.

"Oh you mean birdman?" I asked with a smile and Sarah laughed.

"Aunt Nessa he is Captain America now." AJ, Sarah's one son said.

"So Captain Birdman...?" I asked and they all laughed.

"Can you two get along if he shows up?" Sarah asked and shrugged.

"I can try...I love Sam...he just pushes too much." I said and Sarah nodded.

"He cares about you Vanessa. You are our sister." Sarah said.

"Adopted sister." I corrected and Sarah hit my arm.

"Sister! You know we never cared about you being adopted. We love you. You were dealt a shitty hand growing up and my mom and dad promised your parents if anything ever happened to them we would take you in." Sarah said and I leaned my head on her shoulder.

"Best sister ever." I said and she smiled.

"Aunt Nessa, how long are you staying?" Cass, the other little boy asked.

"Uh... not sure. I guess until your mom gets tired of me." I said and she smiled.

"Then bye." Sarah said and I looked at her shocked and we laughed. I grabbed a piece of toast from her plate and started eating it.

"Make your own toast!" Sarah said and I shook my head.

"Yours is better." I said smiling at her.

"Come on boys, I will take you to school." I said as the boys finished their breakfast.

"You don't have to." Sarah said.

"I don't mind Sarah. I missed the boys and this gives us a small chance to catch up." I said and we headed out of the house. After I got back from dropping the boys off at school I pulled in the driveway of the house and parked. I pulled out my cellphone and dialed a number. It went directly to voicemail.

"Birdman....Sorry it's Captain Birdman now, its Nessa. I don't know where you are or what you are doing or if you are fighting some space alien villain guy thing but I just wanted to let you know I am at the house. Sarah called me and I showed up. I will be taking my old room. I love you and I hope to see you soon. It really has been too long Sam." I said and hung up. I walked back in the house taking my bags this time.

"Hey, I was wondering where your bags were." Sarah said and I smiled.

"I can still have my old room right?" I asked and Sarah nodded.

"Yeah, I just changed the sheets and freshened it all up." Sarah said and I headed upstairs to take my stuff to my room. I sat on the bed and opened up my laptop. I needed to let work know I would be freelancing for a while. I was a web designer and I would be able to work anywhere I wanted. As I started to get the room set up there was a knock on the open door.
