Slade was waiting at the Court House. He was with his newly wedded husband, Oliver. Slade was patient and quiet, Oliver however was a complete nervous wreck. It was funny knew who to be more wary of. The man who had an eye patch who didn't just look as if he could kill for a living, or the rich billionaire philanthropist who was now a complete wreck. If people knew that they fit both of those descriptions. They just hid it a different way is all or on this case, not at all.

"Chill out, Oliver. It'll be fine."

"No, it won't! They will find something and not only will they keep us from raising this kid they lock is up. Slade, baby, we have literally robbed, murdered, and savaged! WE ARE COLD BLOODED MURDERS!" 

There were gasps heard all throughout the Court Chambers.

"He's exaggerating" Slade called out. Worried glances turned to apathetic looks back at handhelds and devices. Slade's eyes widened as he saw easily convinced the were.

Suddenly, Felicity and Shado came bursting out, with deathly glares on their faces. Horrified looks were on faces as they were watching what was going down.

"We are trying to do some adoption work for your son." Felicity said with irritation.

" Now if you don't mind... " Shado started.

"BE QUIET AND BEHAVE" they Both yelled.

The two women walked away from the now two very big men, who were now puppies with tails between their legs.

"How did I ever survive that marriage" Slade and Oliver both said head in palm of hands.

"What'd you say!?" Felicity and Shado yelled back at them.

"Nothing!" They shouted back and the women walked back into the courtroom. Both of their agitated nerves were shown now.

Time passed and a short brunette woman came walking out. "Judge Masters will see you two now." Both were nervous as they walked. Oliver showing it more.

"You have been approved by the court" Masters said. A wash of relief passed over the two men, muscles relaxing, clearly shown through their shirts.

"But, the child has to approve as well" Muscles tightened as well. The judge turned to African American toddler. "Antwoney Brown, young man, do you want Mr. Slade and Oliver Quilson as your parents." The kid nodded.

" Well it's settled I now com—"

"I want Papa Sladester and Daddy Ollie as my parents" Oliver and Slade looked at everyone in the courtroom, confused as to why they all have shocked looks. 

"What!? " Slade and Oliver

" Dad, he was mute" William explained to Oliver. The new fathers looked at their son who was holding his stuffed Star-Lord plush nibbling on his ear. The real Star-Lord in the room found himself glad to have such a fan. Slade and Oliver got an epiphany. They looked at each other and nodded. They got on one knee and the toddler instinctively walked over. They still towered over the three foot nearly four-year-old toddler.

"What's your name, little one ?" Slade asked the tiny one. The kid looked up at the eyepatched man.

"Antwoney " the young one answered. The boy looked down and frowned. " But I don't like it every time I hear it, it reminds me of the fact I didn't matter to the one person I was meant to be. " Slade and Oliver's hearts sank. But, kept a happy and healthy demeanor.

"You, like the Avengers?" Oliver asked pointing at the plush in his arms.

"Yeah, I read encyclopedias in the home library for teens so I could help them. If it not them others, right. Everyone needs knowledge so why not help in delivering it." Everyone except for Oliver, Slade and Judge Masters was surprised to hear what was coming out of this kid's mouth. Jaws were dropped and eyes widened. But the judge and Quilson couple remained calm, because they knew he was kind and brilliant kid, they knew it.

"You're a smart kid. If you don't like your name we'll change it. To maybe..." Slade started his eye looked up in thought.

" Antonio" the Quilson couple said in unison.

"The Spanish for Anthony" Oliver said. Everyone in the court's hearts warmed as Antonio rushed up to the two big strong men embracing them both. The males wrapped an arm around the toddler's back. The three of them held each other tighter and tighter. Mick and Clint were about to say something smartass, but were cut off by the Quilson Fathers.

"Rory"
"Barton"

"Say, something we dare you" the archer and arsonist quickly shut their mouths faster than they opened them.

"I'll help" the judge joked. The tone and way he said it caused every person in the courtroom to crack a smile to heavy outburst of laughter.

He slammed the gavel down and say  "I approve the Quilsons to be parents"

"Um, your honor, you have to say that before you, you know" Antonio made a slamming motion down. "Slam the gavel." The boy finished. More surprised looks, this time especially from the judge and the fathers.

"Am I wrong, because it seems like it's a period at the end of a sentence." Slade smiled.

"Common sense and instinct. " Antonio nodded. "C'mere kid" he motion the toddler in for a hug. "Son, your going to fit in well with your new family." He perched his son on his hip as little Antonio rested his broad chest and held himself firmly to his abdomen. He instantly went to sleep and stayed firmly attached to his fathers' side during either for during sleep or comfort.
