Your mightiest heroes

Chapter 10

You wake up to someone gently rubbing your back, rolling over your met by your mothers smiling face, "Y/n honey, it's time to get up, dads making pancakes." You nod giving her a small smile, "thanks mom, I'll be down in a minute." She nods curtly before leaving the room, once your in the bathroom you take off yesterday's clothes and get in the shower. Your eyes are puffy and red, but right now you don't give a shit, you dry off and put on some pages not wanting to even think about the suit hanging on the back of the door. When you sit down at the table you notice your phone on the side, your dad slides a plate of pancakes in front of you, "i found that on the porch last night, I assume T-shirt yours?" You nod, "yeah thanks, you cover the pancake in syrup, "these look really good." He chuckles, "it don't matter how they look, its the taste that counts," you take a mouthful and nod, "there're perfect, well almost, a coffee would just finish them off." He bows and pours you and cup, "would my lady like anything else?" Your mother laughs, actually laughs, thats the first time in years you have heard her laugh.

She look over at you, "so is your girlfriend joining you today?" Your dad sighs, but you smile at him, "she wanted to, but I wasn't sure how everything was gonna be, and I didn't really wanna drag her into all this drama." She sips her coffee, "I guess after yesterday that was a smart move, she hums, i just have one more question, you roll your eyes but nod, does she want babies?" You cant help but laugh, "i think so, i mean she already has a daughter-" she holds you her hand cutting you off, "wait what, okay, have you met her yet? What's she like? Is she cute, and does she want another grandma?" You almost fall off your chair laughing at her enthusiasm, "woah mom calm down, but yes i have met her, actually i have known her since she was born, and she is a cute as a button, but Scarlett and I haven't been dating for that long." She cuts you off again, "hold up, you mean Scarlett as in black widow Scarlett?" Her whole face lights up, "yes mom, that Scarlett," she grabs you a kisses your head, "now this one I approve of."

Your happy breakfast with your parents seem like a distant memory, as you stand in front of the mirror, putting on the blazer to your black pant suit. You are dreading today, you really wish you didn't have to say goodbye. You smile when you see a picture of you and Hallie together, on the nightstand in the reflection. You slowly pick it up and run your fingers over it, you remember that day like it was yesterday. A tap on the door brings you back to reality, "hey sweetie its time to go, moms already waiting in the car." You nod and fix his tie slightly, then follow him out to the car, as the car stops outside the cemetery your stomach is in knots. It looks like the entire town has come to pay their respects. Stopping about 30 feet away you watch as your parents make their way over to the Miller family. The service starts and thankfully there's no sign of Kate, the tears slowly fall down your cheeks, you can't hear their words but you can see their grief. Soft hand gently takes your bring to her lips, she kisses the back of it. Scarlett gives you a sad smile and wraps her arm around your waist whispering, "we're here for you Y/n because no matter what you are loved." You look over your shoulder to see the entire cast standing behind you, and in that moment they are not only your family but your mightiest heroes.
