@godlyfantasy12. I’m glad you like it! 😀 Haha, hopefully they will. XD
YEP, ANOTHER! I’m thinking she’s younger and in 8th grade and is the Girl who messes with Natasha. (if Clint finds out…she’s gonna regret it tho. XD)
@freedomwriter76 That’s actually kinda cool! I’ve seen, like, ONE old nineteen-something-something’s cartoon episode starring the X-men (that my dad put on randomly several months or maybe even a year ago), but mutated characters with cool powers is sort of my thing.
And yes @godlyfantasy12 Let’s go whack Pierce! Barely know who Pierce is, but he seems pretty terrible.

@keilah-h. @gracie-j. @ava-blue. @godlyfantasy12. @queen_of_alvastia. I HAVE ANOTHER CHAPTER!!!! (and next Chapter we’ll get to see Peter…and his fear of the dark *sniffs*) I personally love Phil with Steve/Bucky specifically, so…that’s what I did. 😉 Excuse me, y’all, I need to go cry over Steve baby. 😭❤️🤍💙
Chapter 23
Phil stepped into the kitchen, grabbing a pair of sunglasses.
“Yeah. That will work fine. See you then.” Nick said, hanging up on the phone.
“Pierce again?” Maria asked, stepping into the kitchen.
Nick sighed. Pinched the bridge of his nose. “Yes.”
“He seems to call you a lot. Well,” Phil grabbed the car keys, “I’m off.”
Nick turned to him and raised an eyebrow. “Where are you going?”
“The school. Thor’s on his way back with the kids, but I need to pick up Steve.”
Maria pursed her lips. “What happened this time?”
“Another…punching incident. Xavier sounded furious on the phone.” Phil replied.
Nick muttered something undiscernible beneath his breath. “Then I’ll go.”
Phil held up a hand. “No. You picked him up last time. I’ll go. I need to talk to him.”
Nick sighed. “Alright, fine. Try to get to the bottom of it. Something tells me it was another bully.”
Maria nodded in agreement. “I wouldn’t doubt it.”
Phil began to walk over to the front door. “I’ll be back soon.” He waved and exited out the door.
Phil pulled up to the front of the school where Steve was waiting, sitting on a bench, reading a book.
He rolled down the window. “Did someone order a Taxi?”
Steve didn’t even smile. He put the book back into his backpack, stood, put the bag in the back, and then got into the passenger seat.
Phil gave him a smile.
Steve didn’t return it. “Thanks.”
“You’re Welcome, Steve. How was your day?”
“…Fine.” By the way he said it, Phil knew Steve was lying.
He wasn’t exactly…good at lying.
“So…what happened today?”
“You already know. Why are you asking me?”
Phil raised an eyebrow. Well…he’d never heard Steve use that tone.
“Steve, what’s wrong? I need you to tell me.”
Steve buckled, ignoring Phil.
“Steve…I need you to talk to me.”
Steve turned away and looked out the window. “Why?”
“Because I care a lot about you. That’s why. We’re family now.”
Steve turned to face Phil. Chewed on his bottom lip.
Phil put the car in park. “And also…we’re not going anywhere until you tell me what’s up.” He leaned back in his seat. Raised an eyebrow at Steve. “So, what’s up?”
“Someone was messing with Bruce again. Bucky tried to stop him first. But he didn’t listen…and eventually he hit Bucky and Bruce…and I punched him after he punched Peggy…who had stood up for us.”
Phil hadn’t heard of her before. “Who’s Peggy?”
“My…my uhm…friend.” Steve replied. But by the way his cheeks flushed pink, Phil knew she was more than just a ‘friend’.
“Why didn’t you go get a teacher?”
“There wasn’t time. Besides, they probably wouldn’t have believed us anyways.”
“Why not?”
“No one ever does. We’re troublemakers.”
“You all do well in school and at home. None of you cause trouble…except for when bullies start it.” Phil replied with a shrug.
“Not now…before. You know, before Nick adopted us. With the other families.”
“You caused trouble?”
“We wanted to escape. Yeah, I mean…it took many things for some of them to finally let us go, but…in the end…it worked out.”
“What did they do to you?”
“Nothing any different from Pierce. They were…were…worse…” Steve trailed off. Phil reached over. Squeezed his hand.
Steve’s fingers wrapped around Phil’s hand. Squeezed, tight. “…we just wanted to get out.”
“And go back to the Orphanage?”
“It was better than the homes…” Steve whispered, trailing off again.
Phil squeezed his hands tighter. “It’s okay…you’re safe to talk to me…”
“But at the Orphanage…they…they used Bucky.”
Phil raised an eyebrow. What in the world was Steve talking about? “Steve…what do you mean?”
“They trained him…taught him how to fight…gave him weapons…and sent him on…on missions. That’s…that’s how he lost his left arm.”
“Steve…”
“I…I made him fall off. I…I thought he had died and…and if he had…it would have been…would have been…” Steve was breathing way too hard now.
Phil squeezed his hand tighter. “Steve…deep breaths. In…and…out. In…and…out.”
Steve did so, and his breathing finally calmed.
“There…that’s better, isn’t it?”
Steve nodded.
“Did they use Bucky as a soldier, Steve?”
Steve slowly nodded. “Yeah. He never messed up a mission. Except…except that one.”
“He was really good then?”
“That…and he couldn’t mess up.”
“Why not? Everyone makes mistakes.”
“He was punished for it. Well…not…not…exactly…”
“Steve? What do you mean? They punished Bucky for making a mistake?”
“Kinda…they told him if he messed up they…they’d punish me for it. They did…that one time he fell off the roof. After he was better and had his new arm…they punished me and forced him to watch…he didn’t ever make another mistake on a mission.”
“Steve…that’s not okay.”
Steve wiped at his eyes, and Phil noticed the tears coursing down his cheeks. “Steve…it’s okay…you can cry.”
Steve shook his head. “No. I…I…”
“Steve. It’s okay. Cry.”
Steve shook his head again.
“Steve…I’m so sorry you had to go through that…”
“It’s fine…it’s not your fault…I’m fine…it doesn’t hurt anymore…”
“Not physically, no, but on the inside, you’re still in pieces.”
“I’m fine.”
“No. You’re not. And that’s okay. Sometimes it’s okay to be broken. If we weren’t broken, we couldn’t ever be fixed.” Phil replied quietly. Unbuckled. Steve looked at him.
“What are you doing?”
“You don’t have to be strong for the others now Steve…that’s our job now. Now you can be a kid.”
“I…I have to…”
“No. We’re the caretakers now. We will keep the others safe. That’s not your job anymore.” Phil replied, exiting the car but leaving the door open so he could still hear Steve.
“I’ve had to…for…for…so long…”
“But now you don’t.” Phil opened the passenger door. Steve looked at him with a raised eyebrow, tears still coursing down his cheeks. “Because that’s our job.”
“What…what are you doing?”
“Do you wanna make room for Uncle Phil?” Phil asked with a smile.
“I…I can get out…”
“That’s not what I offered.” Phil smiled.
“There’s not enough room for both of us to sit here…”
Phil smiled. “That’s fine.” He squeezed his way into the passenger seat. There wasn’t enough room for them to sit side by side. He patted Steve’s shoulder. “Hey…you wanna get up for just a second?”
Steve stood, ducking slightly so his head wouldn’t hit the top of the car. “I’ll get out.”
“I only said for a second.” Phil completely sat down in the seat. “Now you can sit down.”
“In your lap? I’m heavy.”
“Doesn’t matter to me Steve. You could weigh thousands of pounds and I’d still want to be able to be here for you.”
Slowly but surely, Steve sat back down.
Yes, he was heavy and just about as tall as Phil, but he didn’t care. One of his arms wrapped around Steve. Steve’s cheek, still wet with tears, leaned against Phil’s chest. “Are you okay? How do you feel?” Phil asked.
He reached down and brushed a strand of blonde hair out of Steve’s eyes with his fingers. And surprisingly, Steve didn’t shirk away from his touch.
Steve’s cheek leaned more into Phil’s shirt, his arms wrapped around Phil, and he looked up.
Their eyes met.
“So?” Phil asked, wrapping his other arm around Steve, holding him close. “How do you feel?”
“…Safe.”
(Listen…I know my Steve chapters are long y’all, but he’s been through a lot of trauma the past seven years. 😭 They all have…but Steve the longest. Well…other than Natasha…😢)

@godlyfantasy12. @queen_of_alvastia. @gracie-j. @ava-blue. @keilah-h. And here is the promised Peter moment! And yes, I decided to write it from Thor’s POV. He hadn’t gotten a turn yet, and I thought it would be fitting to show his protectiveness over Loki and the others. 😉💖
Chapter 24
“Ooh, Thor, you met a girl? Do tell me more.”
Thor chuckled at his brother’s curiosity. “No. Jane is too wonderful for me to explain. You’ll have to meet her. Besides, don’t you have math homework?”
Loki sighed. “Ugh. Don’t remind me.”
Thor chuckled. “Oh…it can’t be that bad.”
“Oh, does this not look “that bad”?” Loki asked with a chuckle, showing Thor his math book.
Pre-Calculus.
Thor laughed. “Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Loki laughed.
Thor smiled.
They were both in their room, secluded from the others. Thor loved all his new siblings, but for tonight, he wanted to spend time with Loki.
He glanced at his brother, as Loki bent over his math book once again.
No one would guess they were siblings by their black and blonde hair. The only thing they both shared were bright blue eyes and even brighter smiles.
Thor loved having a routine, schedules, and rules.
Whilst Loki was spontaneous and a troublemaker.
“Loki, do you think-“ Thor stopped as the lights turned off.
A random power outage.
A scream sounded, and Thor jumped to his feet.
Loki did as well, letting the math book hit the floor.
“What was that?” Loki asked.
“I…I don’t know…it sounded like Peter.”
He should have been in bed by now, along with Pietro and Wanda. Even asleep. But if he wasn’t…it was just the dark.
He opened the door. “Loki, follow me.”
Thor left the room, and Loki followed, quietly, behind him.
The screaming continued.
Why was Peter screaming?
Was he okay?
Thor finally reached the room, only to realize that the door was already open. Peter was still screaming on the bed.
Tony had him in his arms, even though Peter was trying to fight him, and wouldn’t let go. “Peter…hey…calm down.”
Thor glanced at Pietro and Wanda, who Steve was calming down.
“What…what happened?” Thor whispered.
“We…we don’t know.” Clint replied quietly, just as Nick walked into the room, a flashlight on.
“Peter? What’s wrong?” Phil asked, stepping into the room.
He screamed again. Tony wrapped his arms tighter around him. “Peter…it’s me…It’s Tony…it’s okay. See? Nick has a flashlight.”
Peter sniffed, cried, but finally stopped screaming. He buried his face in Tony’s shirt. “I don’t like the dark…” He whimpered.
Tony’s arms wrapped tighter around him. “Why Peter? Why do you not like the dark?”
Peter looked up at Tony.
Thor leaned against the doorframe.
What in the world had all these kids gone through?
Peter was SIX!
“I got stuck. I couldn’t get out, Tony! It was dark. It was scary, Tony!”
“Where did you get stuck? When did this happen? Recently?”
“Closet. I don’t ‘member. I don’t like the dark!” Peter cried, burying his face back into Tony’s shirt.
“Peter…did someone lock you in?” Tony asked softly, running one of his hands through Peter’s hair.
Peter nodded.
Thor’s fists clenched.
Pierce.
The orphanage.
Thor felt something burn inside him.
These were his sibling’s…Peter was six…and he had been abused!?
“Shh…Peter…it’s okay…” Tony soothed.
“Don’t leave! I want to stay with you!” Peter cried, holding onto Tony, tight.
“Peter…you have to go to sleep…”
Maria stepped into the room. “I grabbed blankets and pillows and put them in the living room. We can all sleep in there to stay warm.”
Phil nodded. “I think that would be best.”
“…Someone locked Peter in a closet? Who does that sort of thing to a six-year-old?” Loki asked, turning to face Nick.
Thor’s fist clenched. “I’m going to give someone what-for.”
Loki nodded. “And I shall help you.”
Slowly, Nick shook his head at them both. “I understand you two are angry…I am too…but violence won’t solve anything. Besides, you don’t want to teach them violence.” He turned to the others. “We’re all going to sleep in the living room tonight. How’s that sound?”
The others nodded.
Thor glanced at Loki. Their blue eyes met.
Thor would protect his siblings with everything he had.
All of them.
Tony stood. Peter wrapped his arms around Tony’s neck and his legs around Tony’s middle.
Thor glanced at them, then back at Loki.
Neither of them would be sleeping well tonight.

A little gasp is heard from a shadowy corner. On further inspection, a cloaked figure can be seen.
You caught me!
So…
Yes, I’m enjoying reading this. My knowledge of Marvel has extended to people’s names. XD
I love the way you’re building the kids as each one slowly opens up. It’s really fun to read!
*Slips back into shadowy obscurity*
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan
