Earlier that day, you had gathered all of your witchcraft supplies, along with your suit, and burned it in the backyard, using your magic for one last time.

Now it was around 10 AM and you and Bucky were idly lying on the bed together. You were going through your phone, gently petting spurring Alpine on your lap.

Natalie waddled her way towards you on the bed, frowning at the feline that was now between you and Bucky.

"My mama!" Natalie shoved the kitten away from you. Alpine hissed at her menacingly and she mocked its actions.

"Oh," You sputtered, taken aback by your daughter's action. You watched in bewilderment as Natalie sat on your lap cuddling against your front.

"She thinks Alpine will steal you away," Bucky roused on the bed, lying next to you, "Like the raccoon stole her plushie,"

"My Dada too!" Natalie grumbled when Alpine moved to settle next to Bucky.

"Okay," Bucky dragged the word, placing a hand between Alpine and Natalie to stop them from getting locked in a fight.

The door burst open and Mara and Aaron jumped onto the bed wearing big smiles and began to jump on the bed.

 "Get down, you little devils!" Bucky hollered, "Ow! Mara! that's my leg,"

"New Asgard, baby!" Mara punched her fists into the air in excitement, ignoring her father's scoldings.

"Can I meet Val?" Aaron asked you eagerly.

"Sure," you jerked your head to the side, "Oh, Heimdall's son, too, maybe—Astrid or Axl," you added, "Whatever that floating head is calling himself,"

"Floating head?" Mara scrunched her face at the visual representation her mind put together.

"You'll see,"

"I'd rather not," she faked a shiver, "Sounds terrifying,"

"How're you feeling today?" Bucky looped at arm around your body and slowly pulled you against him.

"Better," you gave him a soft smile. A simple, drama-dosed morning with your family— it was something you hadn't had in a while.

"Ew! Mama, Dada, gross," Natalie muttered, mimicking a gag.

"It's not gross, it's how you were made," Bucky explained.

"From kissing?" Natalie asked curiously.

He pondered on for a few seconds, "That's how it started but yeah,"

You gave him a pointed look of disbelief, "Shut up, will you?"

📍NEW ASGARD

You had promised Aaron and Mara that you'd take them to New Asgard to cool off, given the incidents of the last few weeks.

You had made them promise not to tell anyone about the multiverse incident. They themselves wanted to recover from the multiverse mishap and Wanda's death.

Mara and Natalie had occasional nightmares. But Aaron seemed to be the most put off. He had lost his real parents. And now his godmother. He was terrified that something might happen to you, Bucky, Mara, and Natalie.

You pulled your car to a stop against the highway where Valkyrie was waiting for you. You stepped out of your car, beaming at the Asgardian warrior. Aaron and Mara followed right behind you.

"It's about time I met your little beasts," Valkyrie grinned at you, having a 'hi' to your kids.

You looked at her over your glasses, "I'm gonna pretend you didn't call my children 'beasts',"

You spent some time with your kids in New Asgard before you bid farewell and left Aaron and Mara with Korg, given that Natalie was home alone with Bucky and you had some errands to run.

Alpine had run out to a secluded area and Mara and Aaron ran after her, trying to reach for the feline with their magic.

Mara finally stopped her with her gold mist and levitated Alpine towards her arms and cradled it safely. 

"What the hell do you think you're doing," she chided the cat, "Bad Alpine!"

"Hey, you two!"

Mara and Aaron turned around to be met with a couple of DODC officers heading their way. They shared a nervous look with each other and faced the officers.

"Are you Asgardians?" the officers asked them.

"No, I don't think so," Aaron shrugged.

"Unregistered individuals with superpowers?" one of the officers raised their eyebrows at the two, "I think I'm gonna need you both to come with us,"

"I—well, no. I don't think we will," Aaron took several steps back.

"Hey!" Mara exclaimed when an officer caught her arm harshly. She tried to pull away from him, but his grip was too strong.

Alpine let out a harsh meow before several long and strong tentacles shot out of its mouth and she used them to attack and knock out the officers with it.

Both the officers fell in a heap on the ground, unmoving and unconscious.

Aaron snapped his head toward his sister, "You said he was a cat!"

Mara blinked at Alpine in her arms, seeming slightly uneasy, "She," the girl corrected, "And she is a cat!"

"She's not a cat! She's some—" Aaron sputtered, gesturing at the animal with dramatic waves of his arm, "She's some sort of Space-cat-cross-hybrid thingi!"

Alpine hissed at him viciously, baring her teeth and curling in Mara's arms.

Aaron took a step back in alarm, eyes widening, "Yikes,"

Mara giggled mischievously, "Keep going, Aaron. I wanna see what she does to you,"
