"I still can't believe you killed me."

"Oh, calm down." I said as I walked through the door. I dropped my purse as I locked the door behind me and kicked off the sandals that I had worn. "Hi Birdie." I greeted my dog as he came up to smell me.

"It's not fair." Lizzie complained. On her face was terribly done makeup that did not leave me wondering who did it. "I mean, still."

I gave her a look but couldn't help but smile. She had returned home from filming a few extra scenes yesterday, and one of those scenes happened to be the death of Wanda Maximoff. She wasn't very happy.

"I know. I wanted to keep you alive, if it helps. The Russo's had the ultimate decision in who lives and dies. How was Sawyer? She behave?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah, she did. How was your appointment?"

"It was okay. But I guess the doctor is switching providers so I got a new prescription. But she said it wouldn't matter and that there won't be any concerns. And she said it worked immediately too, so that's good."

"Oh, that's good. Still no IUD?"

I shook my head as I poured myself a glass of water. "I don't like the idea of something being in there for long. Like, years. It grosses me out."

"It's worth it."

"I'd rather practice abstinence." I joked before taking a long sip. "Where is she? Napping?"

"Yeah, she was exhausted I guess."

I nodded and dumped the remainder of the water into the empty sink and then went on to get something to eat from my fridge. I should have gotten something to eat on the way home.

Deciding on left over cold pizza, I grabbed a slice and took a bite. "I'm exhausted. And I still have cramps from when she did the Pap smear."

"Gross." Lizzie scrunched her nose up. "I hate cramps."

I laughed as I chewed and sat down at the table. I didn't say anything as I checked my phone and responded to a few emails. When I got to one specifically my eyes narrowed and I read it over twice.

"That's so weird."

"What is?"

"You know that storage place where Louis and I put all our parents things into? They're shutting down. I have to move the stuff out by the end of the month." I shook my head. "I wonder what happened. God, this is going to be a pain."
