Bruce held Zaiden's hand while walking towards the clothes store after finding out the two children had three changes of clothes each, and that inclueded pajamas and one school uniform for Zaiden. Steve was carrying Zandra and she was sucking her thumb watching her brother. They had left the bags in the car and desided to drive to the nearest Parking lot and then walk to the mall. They could have parked in the mall but they thought the walk might be nice. "So what do you like to do?" Bruce asked looking down at the five year old who was watching everyone with narrowed eyes as if waiting for an attack.
"Sing," Zaiden replied still looking at everyone except Bruce. Bruce sighed and picked the five year old up who yelped and his eyes flashed amber before settleing on his normal green eyes which were now slightly startled. Zaiden panted and looked down. "You wont want me much longer," he said sadley. "No one does." Bruce stopped at the nearest bench and sat Zaiden down and swotted down in-front of him.
"We know what happened Zaiden. And although what you did was wrong it sounds like they deserved it. But can you tell us what happened?" he asked.
"My great grandmother was a mutant and the gene skipped several generations. It was passed on to me and Zandra. I turn into a half human half wolf monstrosity," Zaiden whispred. "Zandra sprouts wings and controls water, air and Earth. She's terrifed of fire because of this and loves the rain," Zaiden added.
"Zaiden you are many things but a monstrosity is not one of them. I mean look at me I turn into a giant green rage monster when I'm angry. If anyone is a monster it's me but I don't let that get me down anymore because I have a group of fantastic friends and a wonderful boyfriend to make it better and now I have two gorgeus children to make me smile and love," Bruce said smiling at the small boy. Zaiden looked up at Bruce with wide green eyes slightly pleading for it tobe true. "Come on lets go shopping and then we can ask Tony to order pizza," Bruce smiled. Zaiden smiled also and hopped back into Bruce's arms. Bruce jogged to catch up to Steve who had stopped a little way off after notecing Bruce had stopped.
"You OK?" he asked.
"Just fine," Bruce smiled and pecked Steve on the lips and he smiled. Zandra made a noise and smiled at Bruce causing the adults to laugh so Bruce kissed her head and she clapped.
Soon they arrived at the mall and went clothes shopping first. Zaiden got twenty pairs of jeans and trousers (half and half), twetey t-shirts (ten short sleeved and ten long sleeved), ten jackets/jumpers, sixteen pairs of socks (ten pairs of long socks and six pairs of trainer socks), a coat (which had the hulk on it), a pair of traniers (with the hulk),green wellington boots, a pair of mittens which looked like the hulk's fists, a green winter hat and scarf, a hulk cap and twenty-eight pairs of pajamas (fourteen long and fourteen summer). Zandra got ten pairs of jeans/trousers, ten dresses, ten skirts, ten pairs of shorts, twetey t-shirts (ten short sleeved and ten long sleeved), ten jackets/jumpers, ten pairs of socks (eight pairs of long and two pairs of trainer socks), six pairs of tights, a pair of Captain Amreica trainers (for girls of course), a pink winter and rain coat, a Captain America cap, a Captain America winter hat and mittens, a pink scarf and twenty-eight pairs of pajamas (seven pairs of summer, seven night gowns and fourteen winter pajamas). After changing the two into some of their new clothes and putting on their trainers and binning their old clothes (including the ones they had packed).
After the clothes shop they went to other shops for towls, flannels, tooth brushes, tooth paste, bedding (for the king sized beds both the children had), bean bags (one of the hulk for Zaiden and one of Captain America for Zandra), curtains, paint (to decorate the rooms), carpets (green for Zaiden and blue for Zandra), their own cups (a beaker for Zandra), thier own plates, their own cutlery, thier own bowl and thier own place mate and coaster. After that they went to the toy store and the two children hesitated. "Go on anything you want," Bruce encouraged and when both looked at Steve he smiled and nodded. The two children took off with Steve following with the trolly and Bruce just behind texting Tony. Steve smiled when the children both ran back with arms full of Avengers merchendice. They both had a plushie of all of the avengers each, Zandra had a Captain America sheild and Zaiden had hulk hands. Zandra grabbed a baby doll and some clothes and Zaiden grabbed a stuffed wolf toy. Both grabbed art stuff and then as they were passing the music section Zaiden looked longingly at an electric guitar and sighed.
"Go on you can have it," Steve said smiling and Zaiden's eyes went wide but smiled and grabbed that and some songs sheets. Soon it was time to go home.
Both the kids were fast asleep so Steve and Bruce strapped them into the booster seats they had also brought or them. As they pulled up into the garage at teh Avengers Tower they both awoke. "Now we have an AI that may speak to you but don't be afraid," Bruce said and both kids nodded. "JARVIS can you send the other Avengers down to help with the bags?" Bruce asked.
"Of course Mr Banner sir and welcome new children," JARVIS replied.
"JARVIS these are Zaiden and Zandra mine and Bruce's new children," Steve said.
"Hello master Zaiden and miss Zandra," JARVIS said. Zandra made and noise and clapped.
"Hi JARVIS my sister can't talk but she said hello," Zaiden said. Just then the other Avengers ran in and Tony was running with a very angry Natasha trying to get to him.
"Tony what have you done now?" Bruce sighed.
"NOTHING I SWEAR!" Tony cried as he hid behind Bruce.
"HE RIGGED MY BATHROOM DOOR TO COVER ME IN PINK GOO! IT TOOK ME TWENTY MINTUES TO GET IT OUT OF MY HAIR!" Natsha yelled. Bruce sighed and turned to Tony.
"Tony can't you behave for five minutes?" he asked and Tony shrugged. Bruce sighed and turned to the two kids watching the scene with intrest. "Welcome to the family kids," he said.
