THE TEAM HAD STARTED TO come together. Nebula and Rocket arrived first, followed by Rhodey, having gifts to offer his godson. Marta smiled as Steven played with his new toy car, fixing his messy hair. Later, Bruce and Rocket left to go to New Asgard to get Thor, and Natasha went alone to collect Clint.

        Tony and Scott instantly got to work on the time machine, Rhodey and Nebula settling into the compound. Marta and Steve weren't able to be too useful, but they kept busy in other ways. Steve put Steven to sleep in his room, and Marta and Steve engaged in activities they weren't able to do as often as they liked.

        Steve exhaled, sliding off of his wife and settling beside her. Marta ran a hand through her sweaty hair and pulled the sheets to her chest, lying down on Steve's bare chest. He pulled her close and she smiled. "What do you think?" Steve asked, looking up at the ceiling.

       "About what?" Marta returned with a grin, craning her neck to look at her husband.

       Rolling his eyes playfully, Steve kissed the top of Marta's head. "About having another baby." he said. They had been talking about it for a while. Steven hadn't been a set plan, and Marta wanted to essentially choose when she would be pregnant again, so she could wrap her mind around it.

        Marta smiled to herself. She knew she wanted another baby. Marta had always known deep down that she wanted to be a mother, a better one than the one she got. But having Steven was hard enough on her, and she didn't know if she could go through everything again. Maybe, if this worked, and Bucky came back, she would feel better. Marta also knew she couldn't base her future off of the slim possibility she would get her brother back. "I think Steven would like a sibling." Marta settled on saying.

        Steve frowned. He rolled onto his side, propping himself up on his elbow. "It's not about Steven. It's not about me. It's about you, if you want to be pregnant again, if you want to have another baby. After the first step, I'm kind of irrelevant. It's all you, your choice." Steve said, fingers pushing Marta's hair away.

        It was then that Marta knew Steve was absolutely perfect in every way she could think of. She brought her fingers to his face, cupping his cheek. "I want another baby. Just not yet." Marta said, and Steve nodded.

        He kissed her, and she smiled against his lips, pushing him back into the bed, lying comfortably on him. "I think this is gonna work." Steve said quietly, in a soft whisper. Marta looked up at him, pressing a kiss to his jawline. She didn't say anything, because she didn't know what she'd say.

THE WHOLE TEAM WAS TOGETHER again. Thor was in incredibly rough shape, and was an alcoholic. He asked Marta for beer, but she didn't have any. Steve thought Marta said that because she didn't have any alcohol at all, but she only said it because she didn't have beer. She had loads of other things, hidden away where no one would find them.

        Steven was a little apprehensive about meeting Thor, but Marta promised it would be fine. Thor's new attitude did spark some concern in the mother, and Steven shied away from the god. "Get over here." Marta said to Clint, drawing him into a hug she could tell he needed. She had missed him, a lot, over the years.

        Clint nodded, pulling back after a minute. His eyes trailed down and saw a little boy clutching Marta's leg. "Is this your kid?" Clint asked, trying to contain his emotions.
