A/N: Hi, don't feel like you need to be a silent reader. I love hearing from everyone. Comment with kindness.

Niobe sat next to Steve. They were caught up, enjoying one another's presence and avoiding Anakin's glares as they settled in for the night. Steve was still dealing with his own inner demons, but around Niobe, those worries were far away. Helen informed the team that she would arrive tomorrow, leaving Niobe time to get reacquainted with everyone. Niobe squeezed Steve once more. The soldier laughed, blushing at the close proximity.

"So," Tony said. "Anakin. We've heard quite a lot about you from Obe."

Tony took a seat across from Niobe, drink in hand.

"Have you?" Anakin said.

Anakin raised a brow. Niobe raised her hands in innocence.

"Heard you're some kind of badass ultimate Jedi," Tony said.

Anakin laughed.

"Cute," Anakin said.

"You are the chosen one," she said.

Anakin rolled his eyes. Niobe draped her legs over Steve's, nestling into the couch.

"I'm not that special," Anakin said. "I'm just glad I could find that little loser."

Niobe force shoved him back into the couch he sat on. Anakin shoved her in return.

"Children," Tony said. "Please, not on the furniture."

The Jedi put their hands down, laughing at each other.

"Without him, I would be dead ten times over," Niobe said. "Then again...without him, I might not have been in those situations in the first place."

Anakin scowled.

"You got yourself into that mess," Anakin said. "You were lucky I was there."

Steve patted Niobe's legs. Clint walked from the kitchen into the living area and threw himself on top of Niobe. She groaned, crying out for help before shoving Clint off onto the floor. Instead of standing up, Clint remained on the glossy floor, grabbing onto Niobe's ankle that now hung off the couch.

"How long do you think you'll be on Earth?" Steve asked.

"I am unsure," she said. "I assumed we would leave once Anakin is fixed."

Anakin nodded in confirmation. Niobe glanced over to Tony. She could sense Tony's frustration at the idea of her leaving. They both knew what kind of world she was heading back to. She attempted to send Tony a reassuring smile, he refused to meet her gaze.

"Where's Natasha? What happened to those kids?" Niobe asked.

"Nat's out on a mission," Clint said.
