Dangerous and Deadly Love

Let It Begin

Infinity War starts here

I think this one's a little short, but it gets to the point kinda.
Chapter Text

After the prison break, we made a little band together that we would stick around each other and try to stay off the grid. Steve and Sam had already found a couple subtle places to stay as Wanda went off with her brother as they both headed off somewhere, I think they went to go and find Vision. I feel bad for Pietro sometimes when her and Vision have a little moment and Pietro is just there watching them. Clint went back to his family, it was too hard on them as the UN put him on house arrest. We should really be doing that too, we really should. But here we are, on the run, with our two year old daughter, in the middle of Wyoming.

Of all the states in the US, Wyoming was the least populated, so that leaves a lesser chance of people finding us. At the same time though, we're in the middle of nowhere, with the entire world looking for us. A couple of the radio stations were talking about us, saying that if you see any of us, you should report it. But then again, who would really report their heroes, or at least that's what I think we still are.

"Momma, when can we go home?" Nica asked me, playing with a strand of my now deep red hair. We did dye our hair the morning before we got everyone out of prison. Tasha's hair was blonde and short now, I never would have guessed that she could pull it off. I still love her of course, but I also still prefer her with her long red hair.

"When we are done with our little vacation." I hate that I have to lie to her about this. I wish she could be old enough to where she knows basic human body language and she can read people like Tasha and I, but that's all for a later time.

"But Momma..." I listen as my little girl trails off and looks out at the tree line in the meadow we're both sitting in. Today was a quiet day with perfect weather, so I took her out on a little walk as she brought her little friends with her to play. Tasha is off with Steve talking about work stuff, I haven't really been in the mood for work anyways, not after Norway. After seeing Nica play with the animals, and be her true self, show that she has these powers, I've stayed with her more and more, making sure that nothing happens and trying to learn how her powers work.

"I know detka, I know. We should be on vacation a little longer and then we can go home." I place my hand over hers that's now resting on my cheek. Her little hands are so soft against my calloused and dry ones.

"So this is where you went to hide." I hear her voice behind me as I smile and feel her arms wrap around my waist. I get a kiss on my neck and then my cheek.

"I'm technically not hiding. We just wanted to be in the open, see all the things that might come our way." I bring my right arm up to scratch the back of her head and give her a kiss on her cheek.

"Fair." Tasha comes around to sit on my lap as Nica then sits on her lap. I look down at my two girls as Tasha is running her hands through our little girl's hair and I'm placing small kisses on the top of her blonde hair.

I rest my chin on Tasha's head as all three of us look out at the wildlife starting to make their way to us. A couple squirrels come our way and a couple more robins and woodpeckers. Nica is released from our arms as she runs to meet her new friends. I watch as her little body is more coordinated as she acts like she's five, I swear she's so smart and intelligent that she's more than a mutant, or more than an inhuman. But how could I possibly know for sure, it's not like I care that much. She's my Veronica, my little girl that I will love forever and always. Plus it's not really my choice to know what she is, I'll give her that choice to know.

"We got a call from someone who hasn't been here in a while." She looks up at my face while I'm watching Nica play with a wolf cub. Their parents are watching too.
