I can hear their muffled voices behind the door as mom makes sure I'm definitely okay before we go back into the room. 

I smile reassuringly towards her, silently letting her know that I am okay now. 

It's like just seeing me smile instantly makes her whole face light up too. 

As she opens the door everyone turns back towards it, all of their eyes on me once again. 

Mom turns to me and sends me another smile as she drags me along with her, her hand not letting go of my own as she makes it round the table with two empty chairs, Rose is already settled into one colouring peacefully with no care about the world whatsoever. Rose is settled next to the only person I can actually recognise in this room, Chris Evans. 

All of their eyes follow us until we sit down. I downright refuse to let go of moms hand right now, I don't even care if I look like a baby right now but she is bringing me this immense amount of comfort that I don't want to leave me right now. 

"Hey, everyone. This is JJ" I squeeze her hand at that, she instantly looks at me and takes in the expression on my face. She knows I hate it when anyone other than her and dad calls me JJ. Some of my friends called me JJ too but that's different. She instantly corrects herself. 

"Sorry, I mean Y/n. It's a habit of calling her JJ, only me and her dad call her that sorry bug." she chuckles along with everyone else in the room. 

They all go around introducing themselves and I feel calmer knowing no one is offended by me not knowing their names. 

They all talk amongst themselves as I stare down at mine and moms hands. 

So turns out we are here for a meeting, well moms here for a meeting, we are just with her. Something about a new marvel film coming out in April, 3 months time. 

They're waiting for their boss to show up and it makes me giggle to myself at thinking of mom being bossed around. My giggle clearly draws the attention of everyone in the room, they turn back to me and mom nudges me to look at her.

"I didn't mean to giggle, sorry."

"Noooo, what's so funny bug?" Mom replies. Roses head appears next to moms, as though she has only just realised I'm in the room too, as she tries to climb over her and into my arms. Once Rose is comfortable in my hold, I finally manage to let go of moms hand and wrap it around to hold Rose against me while mom slides her colouring book back in front of her. 

"I, I just thought it's funny thinking of someone being your boss. I don't know, it's stupid." Everyone releases their own chuckles at my words, a blush instantly filling my cheeks from being the centre of attention right now. 

"That's because I'm your boss and the boss of the house." I don't even stop the laugh that I let out because of her words. 

I don't even bother to reply to her as she smirks at me knowingly. She knows I'd be sarcastic towards her if I did reply so I do choose to let my laughter slowly die out as someone directs a question towards me. 

"So, Y/n, who's your favourite Avenger?" Robert Downey Junior asks me. 

At once panic fills me. My eyes flicker between his own and moms. She senses my panic instantly. Her hand moving to rest on my knee, giving me a small squeeze, reassuring me that it's okay to tell the truth. 

"Oh I, errr. I don't have one?"

"WHATTTTT! Everyone has one?" He replies, clearly amazed by my reply.
