The Next Avengers: The Legend(MCU)

Home Again, Home Again?

***Jamie and Nikki's Room***

10:30 PM. Bedtime. Something all kids hate...until they're asleep of course. It was a process, getting to sleep.

Well, right now, Jamie, Nikki, and Torunn were in that process right now. As they did, the blonde felt the urge to talk about something.

"Jamie?" She whispered out to the redheaded boy.

"Yeah?" He replied almost instantly.

"Are you asleep?"

"No."

"Me neither. Just thinking."

"'Bout what?"

"My father."

"Uncle Thor?"

".....yeah. I really can't wait to meet him!"

"Excited?"

"Yes! Auntie Val told me so much about him and I just can't wait to meet him!" Even though it was dark, Jamie could tell she was smiling. And that made him smile.

"Yeah. I can't wait to see our Mommy and Daddy too. I miss them."

Now it was Torunn's turn to smile for her friend. "Yes, I can't wait to meet them as well!"

"You'll love them! And they'll love you too."

A bigger smile came to Torunn's face as she thought of meeting Jamie's parents. And the thought of them loving her only made it better. She definitely was looking forward to it, as it gave her a warm feeling inside.

Then her mind went back to her father. The thought of meeting him for the first time brought up questions to her mind. What would he think of her? Would he be happy and care for her, or would he disown her and leave?

That gave her a saddening chill as that sat in her mind. "J-Jamie?"

"Yeah?"

"What if he doesn't like me?"

"Uncle Thor wouldn't do that."

"But what if he does? What if......what if he hates me and leaves?"

Jamie then slid out of his bed and knelt down to Torunn's sleeping bag and hugged her. She instantly hugged him back and felt a bit of relief, but the nagging doubt in the back of her mind still haunted her.

"Its gonna be alright, Torunn. Your Dad's gonna love you. He won't leave you. And I'm definitely sure he'll like you."

"How do you know?"

"Because.........because I like you." The words slipped out. But Jamie meant them.

And just like that, Tori stopped her crying and caught her breath. "Y-you do?"

The redheaded boy nodded and was embraced by the girl happily. He was happy she couldn't see the red coming to his cheeks at that moment. The same went for her too.

Little did the two a of them know that those three small words would have a bigger meaning/impact on their future.

Up on the top bunk, Nikki smiled and rolled her eyes at her twin brother, trying hard not to laugh.

'What a sissy!' She thought to herself.

Hours later, the three kids were peacefully sleeping. Nikki slept soundly in her bunk, whereas Jamie had actually snuggled in the sleeping bag with Torunn.
