(Y/N)'s POV

A red and blue streak crosses in front of my face, right after the door to my living room flies open, nearly breaking it and the wall that the door hits. I'm honestly surprised that the wind only manages to blow a couple of things around, including some of my (H/C) hair. After blinking a couple of times, my mind manages to piece together what the hell just happened, especially after the sounds from my kitchen reaches my ears. A groan escapes me as I pick myself up from my living room couch and close the barely held together front door.

"Glad I didn't lock it," I grumble out as I look at the damage done to the door and wall. After shaking my head, I turn and walk to the now occupied kitchen and wind up finding a blonde superheroine, sitting at my table with her face in her hands. Scanning the rest of the room tells me that she was looking for something, based on the open cupboards and what not. Looking back a Carol, I see her long, blonde hair is covering the front of her head and that she hasn't bothered changing out of her suit yet. Deciding a slow approach would be best, I start closing all of the cabinets and grab the two of us glasses. After making my way over to the sink, I start filling the glasses with water before speaking.

"Should I ask or would that end poorly for me?" Carol gives me something that sounds like a growl in response. Around the time I start filling up the second glass of water, she lets out a tired and frustrated sigh. Looking over my shoulder, I can see that she has moved her hands from her face and just has them crossed on the table. I think that is an improvement. The blue-eyed space heroine then looks up at me, allowing me to see that there is some red in her eyes. "I won't prod then." After that, I grab the two full glasses and make my way over to her. Her eyes stay on me the entire time, though I don't know if it is out of anger or something else. Her hair covering her face and my general lack of knowledge on these sorts of things make this a bit difficult for me. When I set her glass down near her is the first time she looks away from me. While I pull my chair out to sit down, she gives a quick, dry chuckle before speaking.

"I'm going to be honest, I was hoping for something stronger to drink." My chuckle is equally quick, but not nearly as dry as her's, while I take my seat.

"We both know why that option is off the table." While I continue to chuckle, she just gives a nod before looking back at the wooden table. I can still tell she is tense, but I know better than to poke and force things out of her. She will open up to you when she feels like it, not a moment sooner and no matter how hard you try. Though I will admit, she tends to have a problem with oversharing after opening up.

"(Y/N)?" Carol pulls me from my thoughts and back to reality with her low, sad voice. "I... Do you... God, this is frustrating." The longer she talks, the more anger I hear filling her voice. I reach my free hand out and gently push the water to her.

"Take a minute to drink and gather your thoughts." She gives me a side eye, but I just shrug. "Can't hurt to at least try." Though annoyed, she doesn't do as I suggest and finally takes a hold of the glass of water. When she raises it to her lips, she doesn't take a long drink, just enough to humor me. I decide to let that go and just keep quiet, as she lowers the glass back to the table. She takes a deep breath, causing her tense shoulders to raise, before she breathes out, making her shoulders drop down, signaling that she has relaxed some. She seems a bit less flustered and scatterbrained now, as she leans back in her chair.

"Do you think I am doing a good job? Protecting people and trying to better the world?" Well, that's a bit sudden. I lean forward a little while keeping my hand wrapped around my glass.
