The Raven - [HGxMCU] WTM

Episode 4.3 - The Victors' Home

[The scene now settles. The boy is asleep on top of the table while Seeder sits In front of Vivienne, cleaning her cuts.]

[Seeder looked at Viv with a gentle smile.]

Seeder: What happened?

[Viv sighs and looks down with her eyes.]

Viv: Peacekeeper. I heard the kid get injured and tried to help, but the peacekeeper wouldn't let him leave the fields. He needed help, so I stood up for him. The peacekeeper clearly didn't like that.

[Viv gestures to her face and her body.]

Seeder: I know you're trying to help, but you need to be more careful.

[Viv continues to look down and hisses slightly as Seeder starts stitching her eyebrow.]

Viv: I know. But I couldn't just leave him like that. It could have gotten infected or worse. I couldn't live with myself if something happened, and I could have helped.

This made everyone smile. Blake has always been the type of person to help someone no matter the consequence – if they needed help, she was there. It was something that caused Natasha and some of her teammates to have several mini-heart attacks over the years.

[Seeder smiles at the young girl in front of her while finishing off the last stitch.]

Seeder: You're too kind for this world, Vivienne. We don't deserve you.

Viv: I do what I can.

"Clearly, you didn't know how to take a compliment back then either." Natasha softly chuckles into Blake's ear, causing Blake to look up with a betrayed look on her face. The face Blake made just made Natasha's chuckles turn into louder giggles. Blake's face just remained the same as she stared at her fiancé laughing at her. Betrayed.

[Seeder chuckles at her and shakes her head.]

Seeder: I mean it. I see you giving out containers of soup at the market. I see you doing all this work you don't have to do anymore and then giving the earnings to other people. I see you trying to make this terrible place just a little bit better every day.

"This Seeder is correct. Lady Raven is always helping everyone out when she can. That's what makes her worthy." Thor exclaimed, causing many to jump as he spoke so loudly, interrupting the quiet moment on screen.

It took a moment for anyone to realise what he had said; in fact, no one noticed until Tony suddenly sat up with a shocked look on his face. He leans over and whispers quickly into Rhodey's ear, "Did Thor just say Blake was worthy?"

Rhodey's eyes widen at the realisation and nod slowly before muttering in return, "Yeah. Yeah, he did."

The pair of best friends glance at Blake, then to Thor, and then to the hammer, which was left sitting on the coffee tail with a curious expression. Could Blake lift the hammer?

[Seeder fondly strokes the girl's hair and smiles gently.]

Seeder: You should be proud of yourself. I'm proud of you.

[Tears start building up in Viv's eyes, and she lets out a small sob.]

Blake felt the need to defend herself for crying, "In my defence, I have mommy issues, and that was the first time a maternal figure had told me they were proud of me."

Yelena smirked and raised an eyebrow towards Blake, "No one questioned it, Blakey. You just admitted to mommy issues for no reason."

Blake glared at Yelena, "Don't call me Blakey."

Seeing the dangerous moments that could happen at any time, Natasha forces them to break their mini-starting contest, "You two stop being children. Yelena, stop being mean to Blake. She's sensitive."

Viv's eyes widen once again, "I'm not sensitive!" she exclaimed in shock.

Natasha didn't respond. Instead, she eyed Blake up and down with raised eyebrows, silently questioning her; the look caused Blake to huff and sink down into her seat.

[Seeder instinctually brings the girl into a hug and whispers words of reassurance into her ear.]

[The scene changes to the two victors sitting on a sofa talking with each other.]

[All of a sudden, the door opens loudly, causing Viv to jump.]

[She quickly calms down when she sees two kids walk in, ages around 6 and 7.]

[The sight of the two brought a small smile to Vivienne's face.]

Seeder: Good, you can meet my kids.

[Seeder stands up and walks towards her kids, both immediately hugging her once she is within reach.]

Seeder: Viv, this is Gracie and Sammy. Kids, this is your auntie Viv I've told you about.

"Aww, they're so cute." Wanda cooed, earning several nods of agreement around the room.

[Viv looked up to Seeder in shock when she said 'Auntie', tears threatening to spill from her eyes, and mouth slightly parted.]

Sammy & Gracie: Hello, Auntie Viv.

[Both of the children went up to hug Viv, which she happily agreed to.]

Seeder: Right, why don't you two go do some of your homework?

Gracie: Okay, Mommy, bye-bye, Auntie Viv.

Sammy: Love you, Mommy, Aunt Viv.

[Seeder and Sammy ran upstairs, play fighting on the way to try and be the first up.]

[Viv just watches the interaction with a slight smile on her face.]

[Once the children had disappeared from sight, Viv looked towards Seeder.]

Viv: Auntie Viv?

[Seeder chuckles at Viv's shock]

Seeder: Yeah. Auntie Viv.

Viv: No offence, but why? I only just met them, and we only just got to know each other?

[Seeder leads Viv back to the living room, and they sit next to each other.]

Seeder: I trust you. Like I've said, you're a fantastic person. I want someone like that for my kids to look up to. Someone who, despite being dealt a tough hand, still shares kindness and love wherever she can.

Viv: [Whispers] Thank you. That means more to me than I can even imagine.

[Seeder smiles]

Seeder: You know you are always welcome here, whether it's to talk, hang out, spending time with the kids. You don't have to have blood pouring from your head to show up here.

[Viv chuckles at Seeder and pulls her into a tight hug, which is happily reciprocated.]
