The MCU Civil War, and all events following after it, have been prolonged a decade after Age of Ultron in this series. Thank you for reading.
Jennica Marie Adams. A former city girl in the middle of rural Indiana. She had moved from her home in London as a young teenager, and now she was used to the open fields and life on a farm. Though it was a shocking change, she never would've taken it back. She loved her adopted parents, who had raised her ever since she was a baby, and her best friend, Cammy. Life was everything she had hoped it would be. Simple and happy. So there she was, in the stable with her beautiful chestnut horse, Polly, brushing out the horse's hair. It went on for a few minutes as the sun shone through the cracks in the stable walls. The sweet sound of birds chirping right outside lifted her spirits. After laying down some fresh straw for Polly, she made her way out of the stables, avoiding puddles of mud as she walked down the field. It had rained the night before and the smell of ozone was still there. The sun shone brightly, yet the breeze was cool. A perfect combination on a beautiful, late spring day.
Humming to herself as she gradually walked towards the cozy little farmhouse, twenty-two year old Jennica passed the row of berry bushes, picking a few blackberries and tossing them into her mouth. The seeds and pockets of juice seemed to pop as she chewed them, sending a sweetly satisfying sensation down her throat. After grabbing a basket once she arrived at the house, she made her way over to the chicken coop, preparing to gather some eggs. The hens seemed to be a little broody, but after some gentle shooing, they behaved.
"Jenny!" A call from someone running to her down the yard caught Jennica's attention, causing her to turn around. The sight of the person running up to her made her smile, seeing it was her best and most trusted friend, Cammy Forgen. The young woman's ginger hair flowed in the breeze as she ran, and she gasped for air once she arrived.
"This is a surprise!" Jennica laughed at the sight of her flustered friend.
"Dude, I come here everyday." Replied Cammy in a humorous dull tone.
Jennica paused for a moment, letting a red blush appear on her cheeks before she burst out laughing, along with Cammy. The two young women were like sisters and didn't mind being a little less than stupid in front of one another at times.
"Honestly though, what is going on?" Jennica continued with genuine curiosity as she spoke in her light, British accent.
"I have a business proposition for you," began Cammy in a deep voice, obviously being playful, "will you... join me... in New York City next month?"
Jennica's eyes widened in sudden surprise, "New York City? Whatever for?" Wiggling her eyebrows at Jennica, Cammy replied,
"We're going boyfriend searching!"
"What?!" The young British woman breathed out, nearly dropping her basket of eggs. Trying hard to hide her laughter, Cammy pointed behind her,
"Look, out into the fields, everything the light touches... has no guys. We are doomed to be single... forever. Come on, I know you want to."
"Cammy..." Jennica began, not believing the ironic stupidity of the situation one bit, "You've got to be joking. Please tell me you're joking."
"Yes. I'm joking!" Cammy burst with laughter at Jennica's puzzled face, "Did you happen to forget that my brother lives there?!"
"Oh..." Jennica laughed in embarrassment, "I guess I might have. But... you're asking me to come with you?"
"No... I'm requiring you to come with me. You don't want to make me fly there all alone do you?" Asked Cammy with her puppy-dog eyes.
"I suppose not. If my parents are able to handle the farm for the amount of time I'll be away, I can go. Just let me talk to them and I'll get back with you either tonight or tomorrow. How long will the trip last for and exactly when?"
"We'll stay for about two weeks, and we'll arrive on May 23rd, so, next month. But... I mean since it's two weeks, we can still go boyfriend hunting." The last comment required a shove from Jennica. She playfully scoffed and replied,
"I'm perfectly fine being single and you know that. But, I'll definitely let you know if I can go or not by tomorrow."
"Alright!" Cammy smiled, turning on her heel to leave, "See ya soon!" And as quickly as she came, she was gone.
The day slowly progressed, consisting mostly of farm chores. It was their happy way of living on the farm that Jennica's father had inherited from her grandfather. They were quite lucky to have it up and running so well. They even had a few hired hands that came to help tend to the crops and livestock. While helping to weed the three acre strawberry patch, Jennica pondered over the traveling request Cammy had sent her. She had hardly ever been away from the farm, and never even left the state since she moved there. Would she even want to go? Perhaps staying at home was a better decision. Then again, it wasn't every day she was handed such an opportunity. Maybe what she needed was to add a little adventure into her life. After all, a person cannot live their lives cooped up at home forever. Although she had acres of fields to walk down and explore, there was much more out in the world to see. After minutes that turned into hours of pondering, Jennica made up her mind. If her parents agreed, she would go. Much to her excitement, both her mother and father were quite pleased with the idea. Adventure awaited.
