I do not own the Avengers, Evie, Wynter, or the X-men.
A flurry of snow was swirling around Kassandra defensively as she crept through the cemetery. As she reached the memorial for her fallen comrade she could feel his dark presence. She whirled around to be face to face with the demigod who had once tried to enchant her before she met her husband.
'Why did you call me here?' Kas questioned.
'Because you are supposed to be mine not some Super human's' He growled.
'I am not like those other girls. I am the daughter of Aphrodite I control all things having to deal with love and infatuation. I see past your charms and to your soul which is dark and filled will hate. There is no room in your heart for love and I will not be your pawn to world destruction. You can kill me before I would ever consider working with you' Kas responded in a frightening growl as she shifted into a werewolf and jumped at the demigod's throat. As she was about to latch on to his throat he disappeared and reappeared behind her stabbing her through the heart and vanishing for the last time.
'I'm so sorry. I-I should have li-listened to-to you. I jumped at his throat in my werewolf form and he-he disappeared and then stabbed m-me through the heart wh-when he reappeared. I-I love you' Kas whispered to her husband on the phone as the blizzard died and tears rolled down her cheeks.
'KAS! NO! PLEASE BABY STAY WITH ME! GODS SAVE HER! I NEED HER! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER! SHE CAN'T DIE NOT KNOW WHEN I NEED HER THE MOST! SAVE HER PLEASE!' he yelled both to his wife and the Gods. As he was about to start telling her to hold on he could hear what he thought was her last breath and the rumble of thunder and the load crash as lightening struck Kassandra's body and the line went dead.
"Ah!" Kas screamed as she tore at her chest and bolted up right in the bed she shared with Dom.
"Baby what's wrong? What did you see this time?" he questioned for the third time that week. The visions wouldn't leave her alone even when this week was the week she was born.
"H-he stabbed me through the h-heart and disappeared. I h-had just enough strength to call y-you and tell you goodbye. Y-you were yelling at m-me to hold on and yelling at Z-zeus to save me and then lightening struck m-my body" Kas responded shakily as tears of fear rolled down her cheeks in little waterfalls. As Dom pulled her small frame into his lap and enveloped her in a warm hug that caused the frost in the room to disappear, she realized that the man she spoke to in her dream after being stabbed wasn't Nick. Her head rested against his chest above his heart and she listened to the thumping of his heart until her heart stopped racing. She looked up into his worried orbs and wondered how he could stay with her when she caused him so much worry. Sensing what she was thinking he leaned his mouth down to hers and placed a long, passionate, loving kiss upon her lips that caused her to lose her breath.
"You may cause me great worry but all the worry is worth the love you give me. I will always be here for you and I will never stop loving you. I think there is more to these visions than you are actually seeing. The Gods would never have us separated by death because they know how powerful we are and how much this world needs us. We are important not only to each other but to the fate of the world itself" he whispered soothingly to the still frightened redhead in his arms.
"You will make an amazing father one of these days D.J. I know we promised to wait but I'm ready to give you everything tonight" Kas whispered slyly. With those words they did what they had sworn to do once they were married and not before. As their passion enveloped them lightening began to flash outside, ice and fire played with each other in the air above them and the worries of the world disappeared for the next three hours. Kas giggled and moaned with pleasure as he explored every inch of her body. When they awoke the next morning she glowed with something new, something that they wouldn't know what it was until four weeks later.
It's her birthday and Dominick treated her to breakfast in bed and morning love. When they were done Kas got into her gym clothes to go and spar with Steve. She had to get the sparing in this morning before Rachael, Alexandra, Natasha, and Evie took her to the spa before whatever surprise Tony and everyone else had planned for her. She walked out of the elevator and onto the mats waiting for Steve to come down for his morning workout. She beamed with joy as he stepped out of the elevator not long after.
"Oh Kas what are you doing down here so early?" Steve asked surprised to see her up so early.
"What no 'happy birthday'? I wanted to spar before the girls took me to the spa" Kas teased.
"Happy birthday! Alright let's get this fight going then!" Steve exclaimed.
They began to circle each other before either threw the first blow that would start the fight. Kas was the first to throw a punch that landed squarely on Steve's nose and breaking it. Steve ignored his nose and responded back with a jab to the ribs that Kas caught with lightening fast speed. She side swept his feet and threw him with such force that he slammed into the wall. He pulled himself up and ran back at Kas and attempted to tackle her only to have her sidestep his grasp and pin him to the ground.
"Okay I guess we know who the better fighter is" Steve said with a huff.
"Ha-ha sorry I'm so good. When I start fighting I go into battle mode and my powers start working even more" Kas said as she got up and pulled the superhero to his feet, "You should go see Bruce about your nose and your back. I hit you harder than I intended and you hit the wall pretty hard."
"Nah I'm fine neither hurt" Steve shrugged and realigned his nose so it would heal properly.
They two superhero's walked to the elevator and rode to their floors in silence. Steve reached his floor first and stepped out and walked to his room to shower and get ready for the extravagant party Tony had planned for Kassandra. It was going to be a combination of a birthday party and an engagement party. Kassandra and Dominick were lucky to have each other and Steve wished he had what they had. Kas stepped into her apartment and walked to the bathroom to shower and get ready for what she knew would be a very long day. About five minutes after getting out of the shower the girls walked into her and Dom's apartment.
"Hey why aren't you ready!?" the girls yelled.
"Sorry I had to use some of my magic to heal my ribs. I sparred with Steve this morning and he broke a few of my ribs accidentally, but I did kind of break his nose and throw him into a wall" Kas said nonchalantly. The girls just gaped at what she had said and then helped her pick out what to wear to the spa and quickly braided her hair before she could lift another finger and then they were out the door once she pulled on her yoga pants, tennis shoes, and a tank top. The entire day consisted of Kassandra getting massaged and pampered, then getting her hair, nails, and makeup done. As the makeup artist finished Dominick walked in with her new baby blue tulle dress with crystal encrusted bodice, a pair of sky high crystal covered heels, and some of the jewelry she had bought the day before and also had all the girl's dresses, heels, and jewelry as well. After he had handed all the girl's their dresses Kas could see that he was wearing one of his new tuxes and had cleaned up his goatee, soul patch, and mustache.
"Why are you bringing us our stuff? I thought we were getting ready at the tower?" Kas questioned
"Well actually we're not going back to the tower we are going somewhere else and we're leaving from here. That's why if you look the girl's already have their makeup, nails, and hair done as well have. Today was not only a day of pampering for you but a quicker way for all of you to get ready. Now get in that changing room so that I can help you into that dress" Dom both explained and demanded. When Kas stepped out she was a vision. She had her hair curled and swept up in an up-do with a few curls left down to frame her face, her eyes popped with a purple Smokey eye that was now on her lids, she had a light pink lipstick on her lips and a subtle hint of blush on her already rosy cheeks. She looked like a red haired version of Aphrodite as she stood there in her floor length ball gown. Every person in the spa gaped at the gorgeous woman whom had emerged from the changing room. If it hadn't been for the blush on her cheeks everyone would have seen a flush spread across her cheeks. The group walked out of the spa to a limo that awaited them. Kassandra got in first and sat down, then came Dominick whom sat next to her, then Rachael, Alexandra, Natasha, and finally Evie who closed the door of the limo. Across the street stood a fair skinned, fair haired boy in the shadows that watched every move the now twenty-one year old made. Little did he know the entire time she had known he was there but refused to say anything to anyone about it. Thirty minutes later the limo pulled up to what looked to be a red carpet event with all the paparazzi outside and the bodyguards placed three feet from each other up the length of the red carpet.
"What is this? I thought we were just having a small party?" Kas questioned fearfully.
"This, my love, is a much deserved birthday party for you and an engagement party for us. And don't look at me with that look that says 'please, take me home. I don't want to be here' you are going to get out of this limo, smile, enjoy the attention, and enjoy this extravagant evening" Dom said firmly. With a humph Kas watched all of the girls get out and then her fiancé whom she followed gracefully out of the limo and onto the red carpet in front of the flashing of the paparazzi.
"How do people know about me? I'm a hidden demigod genius that never publishes her work but gives it to Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. Hell I joined the marines for a reason!" Kas exclaimed just loud enough for Dominick to hear.
"Baby, we happen to be working with the most famous group of superhero's there is. We are going to be in the spotlight a lot more… especially since Tony told the tabloids that we're getting married" Dom whispered back.
"Aw damn I was just getting used to working with the Avengers and now I have to get used to our relationship being in the public eye at all times. I don't want to raise children in this type of life. I barely wanted to raise them in the life we had before the Avengers" she whispered with distress.
"We will be great parents even if our family is constantly in the public eye. We will make their life as normal as possible because they deserve the same childhood we experienced" Dominick responded along with a kiss on Kassandra's lips. They walked into the ballroom to at least two hundred people everyone from their family to the President of the United States. They mingled and danced the night away. When ten o'clock rolled around Steve brought out a large cake that had both happy birthday and congratulations written on it. Everyone at the party sang the young demigod happy birthday and wished the couple a great, long, and love filled marriage. As soon as Kassandra and Dominick blew out the candles they cut the cake and took the first two pieces and walked to the balcony to eat their cake. When they got outside Kas saw the unmistakable figure of her mutant friend Wynter.
"Wynter! You're here!" Kas screamed as she handed her cake to Dom.
"Of course I am! I wouldn't miss my friend's first birthday party and her engagement party for the world!" Wynter exclaimed as she hugged her friend.
"How have you been? How have you and Logan been?" Kas questioned curiously.
"Oh I've been great! I love working with the X-men and Logan and I moved in together. We are very happy together" Wynter replied happily.
"Where is Logan by the way? I saw some of the X-men here but I haven't seen him yet" Kas said.
"Oh he's talking to your buddy Steve and your brother T.J." Wynter replied.
"No I'm standing right here next to Dominick as we both hold ours and your cake" Logan replied with a smirk.
"Oh my gosh! Logan! I'm so happy you're here! I haven't seen you two in so long!" Kas exclaimed.
"I know we've meant to come out but every time we plan to we get sent on a mission" Logan explained.
"Hey Kay can you come out back the Avengers and I have a surprise for you!" Loki said as he walked out onto the balcony.
"Sure thing dad I'll come right now" Kas said as she grabbed her cake and followed while eating. When they got outside she saw an emerald green 1996 dodge challenger with white racing stripes and red pin striping a large bow on top and David leaning against the car.
*GASP* "How did you all know this was my dream car? When did you get here, David!?" Kas exclaimed with excitement.
"Well we asked Dominick if you had a dream car and this is what he told us" Loki explained.
"I got here a few days ago. Tony put me in a hotel so I could surprise you when they gave you the car" David said with a smile towards his childhood friend that he hadn't seen a good year. Kassandra ran around hugging every member of her team and her two foster brothers and planted a loving kiss on Dominick's lips. As she stood in front of her fiancé staring at her new car he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I think I want to drive my car now. Where are the keys?" Kas questioned excitedly.
"They're in the ignition. If you're leaving please take Dominick with you, I know you are capable of protecting yourself but I would be more at peace if he was with you" Loki replied very fatherly.
"Alright father. We're going to drive this beauty around for awhile and then head back to the tower. We'll see you at home. Hey David how long are you here for?" Kas said as she placed a kiss on Loki's cheek and then turned and questioned her friend.
"I'm here for forever... I was asked to join the team and I accepted" David said with a smile.
