You were leaning against the desk in the lecture hall, arms crossed a smile playing at your lips as you listened and watched your students fiercely debate whether gods were real or not. The class was pretty much equally divided with both sides having valid points. The debate was one hell of a tangent that had started when someone asked if Thor was immortal, but you didn't mind, it was still relatively on topic and it was making them use their debate skills.

Glancing down at the clock you realised the class was coming to an end "Alright guys you're gonna have to finish this debate in your own time" you call out clapping your hands together.

"can't you settle this debate? You know don't you?" one of your students asks.

"I do" you nod "and you're both right," you tell them, the entire class murmuring in confusion "gods aren't a species, gods aren't born they're made" you explain "The Asgardian gods were aliens that visited earth thousands of years ago and humans at the time couldn't understand why they had the powers they did and how they were thousands of years old, so they settled on believing they were gods"

"Like the Spaniards and the Aztecs," one student points out.

"yes exactly like that, when people don't understand something or have the tools like we do now, it only leaves the supernatural" you explain.

"so all gods are aliens?" a student asks.

"no, some are yes, but others have been mutants" you answer.

"and you're half alien," another student asks.

"yep" you nod "but I do prefer the term demigod" you smirk "gods are people just like you and me, they're flawed, make mistakes and can be selfish, but they have given humanity and other species many great things, they have given something to have faith in, something to believe in and it's the idea of them that is truly immortal" the students all hum in agreement "we can discuss it more next class if you want but we all have places to go and people to see so get on going"

As the students begin to filter out you pack up all of your stuff and follow them out, making your way to your office to make a dent in the essay marking you had to do before heading out to pick JJ up from school.

Later on in the afternoon, you were standing in the kitchen finishing up the dinner, watching Steve, JJ and Scout all run around the garden as they played. You chuckled as Steve lifted JJ up over his shoulders and swung him around, JJ screaming with laughter. It was a good thing they were doing this before dinner rather than after.

Pushing open the back door you called out to them "Dinner time boys"

Steve turns around, JJ still across his shoulders "Coming, c'mon bean" he says lifting JJ off his shoulders and holding him up just above the ground.

"Dad!" JJ laughs complaining as he tries to put his feet on the floor.

"what are you doing JJ, you're gonna miss dinner" Steve chuckles as JJ wiggles in his hold.

"Dad put me down" JJ giggles.

"dinner's getting cold boys" you laugh shaking your head at him.

"Sorry JJ, I'm heading inside, you're gonna have to work this out yourself" Steve dramatically sighs, as he takes a step forward, carrying JJ inside with him who was laughing the entire time.

Once inside Steve lifted JJ up and sat him down on his chair, scruffling up his hair making JJ giggle as he tried to fix his hair. You smiled as the pair of them as you served out dinner, sitting down next to Steve.
