"Let me guess Peter is the one who hacked us yesterday? And then the two of them came to rescue you."

"We just wanted to protect-" Peter starts only to stop when Mom gives him the look, you know that mom look that says just don't. Peter stiffens and tries to look contrite."Yes M'am."

"You could have gotten arrested! What would I have told your mother then, hmm? Maria, sorry but your son just got himself arrested for hacking a top secret agency. That would have gone over real well. And jeapordizing your future."

"I had to protect Beth. They could have been hurting her. I couldn't let that happen to her, she's family."

"I, well, I can't fault that, many the time I've risked more for your mother. "

"Excuse me M'am." Steve broke in, "Could we please discuss the problem at hand. Not that this isn't a problem, uh, I mean-"

"Ah yes, the matter at hand, I can deal with the kiddos later."

"Aunt - Peggy." Peter drawls her name out looking down at his feet.

"We have proof that the claims made by Laufeyson are true. The Chitauri have teamed up with a group of gifted individuals from Shield's prisons taken by Hydra. The Avengers are the only team we currently have who are able to deal with this."

"Milady Hill, when are these hellish invaders coming to conquer us?" Thor asks quietly, well quietly for him anyway. Just then that bedeviled cat makes an appearance. Slimming into the room and winding around my ankles. I scream and take off running followed by that cat. It follows me around the living until I fly up and perch on a decorative alcove a good ten feet off the ground. My mother looks up at me and my eagle wings. "Well that's new."
"Yeah. A lot has changed in the past two years." More than they know. It isn't just wings, my magic is more extensive. Mom was adopted and her birth mother had a bit of elf in her, Mom never noticed because it is so diluted but when my fey heritage was awakened it also triggered some more Elvish aspects of myself. Basically it just gave me a stronger affinity for water, I can enchant it to do certain things but I'm not very skilled. Mom frowns," You may be different but you're still my baby girl. Anybody up for some cookies, I have to bake."
Mom bakes when she is stressed or worried, delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies and other desserts. She says baking calms her down.
