Chapter (38) Thirty-Eight ~ ...missing you

Dear Jamie,

It has officially been a year since you and half of the universe's disappearance. I've tried really hard to be strong, but it's been really hard. I mean, I still have your gun from the fight stashed away in my spare bedroom closet for god's sake.

I've moved away from the Avengers Compound and got myself an apartment in Brooklyn. Your home. Steve lives close by. Just a five-minute walk away. You'd be pleased to know we hang out all the time still.

Tony and Avery had their child not that long ago. It's a boy, and they've named him James Howard Stark. James, after the two men that have been so important to the Stark family (you and Tony and Avery's best friend, Rhodey), and Howard, after my brother, and Tony's father. His nickname is Howie.

I absolutely adore my new grandnephew. He's adorable, and I love taking him to visit Howard and some museum exhibits that are about him. I'm sure Howard would have loved his grandson as much as I do.

Whenever I'm not with my family, I visit Natasha at the compound. There's normally not much for me to do there, but I have restarted a little project that Howard and I had shown New York back in 1942. I've dedicated it to you, seeing as it's the first of my work you've ever seen before.

If you haven't guessed, I'm building a flying car.

I have absolutely no interest in marketing it. It's just something that helps me keep my mind occupied, as well as allows me to fulfill past me's dream of creating the first flying car. I think you would be proud of how far I've come, since what everyones called the blip.

I'm still having hard days, like today, but writing to you always helps. I miss you so much, and I love you even more.

With all my love,

Olivia E. Stark
(Otherwise known as the girl who wishes you were still here)

Dear Jamie,

The second anniversary of the blip is coming up soon. I can already tell Steve and Natasha are planning something, probably to get me out of the house a bit more, since whenever I do leave it's mainly just to work at the compound.

Tony's invited me to come around for dinner that day too. Spend some time with the family. Little Howie is doing good and is on the way to becoming one. Morgan, Tony's first bio kid, is going on 15, and a sophomore in high school. She's so smart, just like her father, and is a great help in the lab whenever she visits me at the compound. Harley, Tony and Avery's oldest, is 18, and a freshman in college. He had been accepted into MIT in the summer, and we all couldn't be prouder, though I do know Tony and Avery miss him when he's gone.

The flying car is turning out nicely. I've been purposely taking my time with it, cause I don't know what I'm gonna end up doing when it's all over. Stark Industries has been slowing down for their weapons division, but I do still help with medical and things like that. Because of my time spent with Shuri in Wakanda, I've actually been able to help design and make new prosthetics with Tony's help. Stark Industries is now the place to go for all prosthetic needs, apparently.

Not much more is going on. Steve still tries to drag me to his little "help sessions", but always ends up unsuccessful. He is always able to drag me to the museum though, where I can still see your smiling face.
