She's The Girl Where. || Avengers [4]

Epilogue

' She knew that there had never quite been a story like hers, because all stories are their own kind of unique. '

"Mommy?" Anthony Max Stark-Maximoff whispered as he rounded the corner of the kitchen to find his Mom drinking hot chocolate by the open door.

"Hey Tiger." Carter Stark-Maximoff smiled as she placed down her mug and pulled the three year old up and into her arms "Why're you up so late huh Mister?" Carter teased with a smile on her aged face.

"I had a nightmare." Anthony whispered as his bottom lip quivered causing Carter to frown softly at him as she hiked him up her hip and headed for the stairs.

"You wanna talk about it?" Carter asked as Anthony simply shook his head.

"No Mommy." He quietly denied as they passed his little sisters room, Marya Althea Stark-Maximoff was sound asleep in her crib.

After having tucked him back in Carter kissed her son's head goodnight before turning to leave "Wait." Anthony called out as he yawned behind his hand "Stay with me?" He asked as Carter smiled and nodded, laying down beside her son as he slowly began to drift off "Mommy? What's a legacy?"

"I'll tell you one day when your able to better understand." Carter assured as she kissed his forehead gently.

Laying back against the headboard, Carter smiled as she glanced down at her son who'd inherited his fathers brown/black hair and her brown eyes, his face the perfect blend of the two as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Let me tell you what i wish i'd known when i was young and dreamed of glory. You have no control over who lives, who dies and who tells your story." Carter quietly recounted once Anthony was asleep, exiting the room to find Pietro leaned against the wall opposite causing her to smile at him and lean up for a kiss.

Walking to their room hand in hand the pair smiled, falling down on the bed in exhaustion before cuddling up to one another, ready to sleep.

"So what is a legacy?" 

"It's planting seeds in a garden you'll never see grow."
