Prism's fast healing had her back on her feet the next day, and back in fighting shape the following one. Her month of pregnancy felt like an eternity and she loved having so much energy again, her magic no longer had go feed into the tiny body she housed in hers.

She was relieved that Nora was such a calm baby, her bright blue eyes were focused and sharp as she took in everything around her.

They had a newborn photoshoot as soon as possible to get them before she grew too fast. Tony got the photos shopped and posted on Instagram.

The images made headlines as "America's Sweethearts added a plus 1!" It made news across the country, setting support for The Avengers at an all time high and the popularity of new nicknames such as "Captain Daddy" and "Daddy America" trending on Twitter, talking about how lucky Prism was to "lock that down." Others declared them a DILF and MILF respectively.

If only they knew.

Prism and Steve kept their normal level of closeness, but never crossed any lines: no lip kissing, no sexual touching- they kept it PG-13 and not an inch more.

They only shared a bed now when they slept on the extra full sized bed in Nora's room or on the occasion Steve's nightmares brought him back to her side in a moment of weakness.

After a week, Nora was crawling and babbling, always listening and watching. She laying on her belly on a blanket spread on the floor while Nat laid beside her and read her a children's book, pointing out the expressions on the characters faces and explaining what they could mean.

Steve sat on the couch with a book of his own, looking up at his daughter occasionally until Prism came in, freshly showered and dressed.

"I was thinking about going to see Strange today, is that okay with you?" she asked him, softly touching his shoulder.

He opened his mouth, looked at Nat who was still distracting the baby then motioned for the silver haired woman to bend down to he could talk on her ear.

"Honestly, I don't love the thought of him studying you. Especially without me there."

"Steve he's going to be magically scanning me, not any invasive medical exams. He's going to see less of me than Bruce has- I did just push our daughter out of my lady bits. Besides, don't forget that I'm a big girl and I can protect myself. I'm still an Avenger after all."

His stomach flipped nervously but he pulled his lips into a tight smile. "Right. You're right. Let me know what you learn about yourself, if you want. I'd love to hear how it went."

She smiled and nodded, kissing his cheek and rubbing his shoulders for a moment before kneeling to talk to Nora.

"Mommy's gonna go visit Uncle Strange, I'll be back later. I love you, sweetheart." She kissed the babies head, Nat smiled as she watched. "Be good for Daddy and Auntie Nat."

The baby smacked the ground once for yes, making her smile.

Priz used her magic to open a portal directly into Strange's office in the Sanctum - he looked up from his desk in shock for a moment before waving.

The trio waved back and Priz stepped through, closing it behind her.

"You know there are spells at work to keep people from portaling inside, right?" he asked, standing up.

"No. Sorry should I not have?"

He chucked, "Its fine I'm just...impressed honestly. Your power just...ignores everything else and does what you want."

"Sure does." She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly.

"Let's try to find out why, shall we?"

"Love to."
