Myra walked onto the bridge, Agent Coulson was gesturing to a computer with a woman's picture and file on it to Thor, who seemed to know her. When Coulson saw Myra he smiled and called her over, "Myra. We've got your mother and son on video conference in the lab. I'll take you there, Stark and Banner should be working on locating the cube. Did you get anything from Loki?" he asked her. She looked at him solemnly, and said she hadn't. Coulson and Myra entered the lab but then Coulson left her standing in the doorway because Fury was calling him. As she entered, Myra caught a bit of the conversation Bruce and Tony were having, "I'm like an exposed nerve. It's a nightmare." "Hey," Tony started, "I read your file and that much gamma radiation should've killed you." Bruce looked at him through the suspended computer screen, "So you think the Hulk. The other guy saved my life. That's nice, that's a nice sentiment."
"At least you don't look like that all the time," Myra said. Which then drew Bruce's attention and Tony turned around as she walked in. "Coulson said you might be in," Bruce said, "He did, did he?" Myra laughed. The science bros both smirked "Don't take this the wrong way, but back on the bridge when you were yelling at Fury. Scared me shitless woman, you are fantastic." Tony said to her as he went behind the scepter and grabbed his blueberries which he then began to eat. Myra smirked and rolled her eyes, "Where's the video communication setup?" She asked, turning to Bruce. She had been debriefed on all the potential avengers and had read about Bruce's issues with the Hulk, or as Bruce called him, the other guy.
To Myra, the Hulk seemed more like a large, angry, and frightened child. Bruce led Myra over to the computer and pulled up the connection, then left her there. "Oh honey, are you ok? Oh it's so good to see you." Her mother, Amelia, started with teary eyes. "I'm ok mom but where's Danny, has he been feeling well? Is he already asleep?" her mother gave her a knowing smile and began to speak again, "I've been trying to get him to sleep. I would've put on the CD you and Brendan had made, remember that, so that's what I usually did till they told me you were calling. Let me go get Danny." Amelia left the screen to get Daniel, Myra waited patiently. Finally, after nine months of missing her child she was going to see him again, though she could not hold him or rock him, she could see him. For now, she could be a little content with that.
"Here he is, little Mr. Night owl. He's starting to look like Brendan honey; you should've seen him at his first birthday. He was covered in cake and streamers and don't worry I got plenty of video and pictures. He hasn't gotten his first haircut yet but that is in the very near future though," Amelia said running a hand through the one year cold's light brown curls as she rocked him, Daniel was laughing and babbling in his grandmother's arms. "Mom. Tell me this is real. Tell me I'm not dreaming," Myra said as she looked at her giggling little boy. Her eyes were swimming tears as she folded one arm at her waist and brought a hand to cover her mouth. "Yes sweetheart. It is." Came her mother's reply. "Now it's very late little mister and you have to go to sleep," Myra said, regaining her composure. Amelia laughed at her daughter and looked down at her grandson. "Mom, put him in the crib and then take the laptop over there so I can see him," Myra told her mother. Who in turn did so accordingly. Then Myra started to sing to her son for the first time in nine months.
"Oh Danny boy. The pipes, the pipes are calling. From glen to glen and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling. It's you, it's you, must go and I must bide. But come ye back, when summer's in the meadow. Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow. It's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadows. Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so."
By the time she was done, she had tears in her eyes again and her son was fast asleep. "That was beautiful honey. You look so tired, dear, why don't you go get some sleep," her mother said to her. Myra smiled a bit, holding back tears. She said goodbye and quickly left the lab. She soon stood looking out of the windows on the bridge, she stood next to Loki's brother, Thor, and she just stood there looking out into the dark clouds and she let the tears stream silently down her face.
Coming out of his thoughts, Thor looked to his right and found the tiger lady, Myra, standing there. He saw her tears and could practically feel the sorrow that ebbed from her. "My lady, are you unwell?" he asked with deep concern. Myra kept staring out the window as she answered him, "Physically, no." she said, tears no longer streaming down her face, but her face still held a vacant and forlorn expression. Coulson came up next to Myra on her right, Thor on her left, Thor glanced at him and then Coulson began to speak. "Don't worry Myra," Phil said and placed a hand on her shoulder, "You'll see him again soon. And I have some good news." "Phil," Myra began, "Until I'm holding my child in my arms again I don't think anything can be as good as you make it out-" "We've created a reversal serum for your condition."
This made her head spin and jaw drop, "Reversal serum? Did any of those tests help figure this out? When can I get it?" Myra asked as she remembered all the tests they did, she looked at Agent Coulson. "After the mission is over. But Myra, just to warn you. It might only suppress the change though. Which means that, should you have a certain change in your mood or something is trying to get to you or something of that sort and you feel threatened, we would call that your 'instinct' kind of like how that Spiderman character from the comic book has his 'spidey sense'. It would be like that and you would go back to the way you appear now, like what happens with Dr. Banner when he goes Hulk." Phil said, "So it'd be something like that?" Myra questioned, "Yes. That is how it sounds, but that would also mean you could still part of the 'Avengers Initiative'."
Myra smiled slightly, "Sound like it'd be quite the adventure Phil," "Could be. And I know you'll see your son soon, I promise." Phil smiled and then left. 'Maybe everything can go back to the way it was before,' Myra thought as she walked back to her room. Once there, she fell onto the bed and slept.
