Maria had to guide Damien into the other room. Upon seeing the two twin boys, Mary quickly ushered the boys outside. Damien stood there silent, not having a reaction to which Mary was worried. In reality, Damien didn't or couldn't believe that he had sons. Wth Carol too. He thought this was some sick dream. Like something was trying to play mind games with him.

Monica had taken her uncle's hand and guided him to where her and Carol where. Damien couldn't even look Carol in the eye, he refused to. But now looking at the twin boys that stood in front of him before, he saw both himself and Carol in them.

The small girl took out a picture book and she pointed at a picture of the family at Halloween, Monica smiling "I'm Amelia Earhart and Auntie Carol was Janis Joplin.. Chase wanted to be Han Solo and Jay wanted to be Luke Skywalker and they wanted you to be Chewie.. So you gave in" Monica laughed as there was a picture of Damien holding the two boys in his arms and it looked like he was swinging them around.

"Oh, That's you with your mom and dad.. Aunt Abbie." She muttered and Damien took a picture of a family picture of his parents and him with his sister.. How they look like an actual family..

"This is us on Christmas. I got more..." Monica said as she began showing more pictures, Damien's eyes teared up a bit as he looked at the pictures.. He picked up a picture of when the twins were newborns, Carol was laying on the hospital bed was she was holding Chase while Damien was standing beside her with Jay. Monica smiled softly "That was the day the twins were born.. Mom said that Auntie Carol was afraid.. But you were calm and ready for the boys to come and I was still a baby and stayed with my grandma while Mom went with you guys.. She said that she never saw you cry before but when you saw the boys being born.." Monica smiled softly and Damien touched the picture and smiled

There were many pictures, from when Damien graduated the Air Force, to him being named General. Damien helping the kids with craving pumpkins.. It was like they had a happy life

"Oh wait. I forgot, your jacket. Mom doesn't let me wear it, your mom didn't want to keep it because it hurt her a lot"

Monica ran off to retrieve Damien's jacket. Once Monica has left, Damien looked at the pictures again, pushing them around to better see ones underneath. Damien continued looking through the pictures before he came across his old dog tag, which has been burn

"That was all that survived the crash. Or so we thought." Maria said softly as she was at the edge of the doorframe and Damien turned to her and shake his head "What happened with Vers and I?" He asked and Maria was confused for a moment until Damien breathed out "Carol.. What happened with us?"

Maria was silent for a second until she spoke quietly "Carol wasn't ready to be a mother.. It was hard for her to adjust while it was easy for you.. But you guys had lots of fights.. Then there was a breaking point and Carol broke up with you, and you didn't want the divorce you tried saving it.. But Carol was unhappy.."

'Don't you understand that I'm unhappy!' Carol shouted as she was getting ready to storm out of the house with her flight jacket in her hand, Damien rushed over and grabbed her wrist and stopped her 'No, I'm not giving up on us.. You forget that it's not just us anymore, we have two kids to think about to' He said and Carol yanked her wrist away 'Well this is me showing them if you're not happy then you need to go.. You see how we are.. How we fight so much, I don't want our kids to be raised in a household that isn't happy.'

Damien shook his head and frowned 'We've been through a lot Carol, I don't want to give up on us. I love you to death Carol, we have kids.. We're a family' He whispered and Carol shook her head

'I loved you Dam, but I can't do this anymore.. I'll give you the divorce papers for you to sign and we can talk about custody for the boys but I told you since I was pregnant, I wasn't ready to be a mother.." She muttered and she opened the doors but her eyes widened and Damien saw the look and he turned around to see Chase was at the stairways, holding his stuffed animal and looking at his parents with wide eyes.

"Shit" Damien muttered as he went to his son and picked him up and Carol frowned and shook her head "I'm gonna stay with Maria and Monica.. Just please, I don't wanna talk to you for the time being, we can talk about the boys and stuff but it's best that we keep our distance.' She muttered before leaving. Damien looking at the doorway before hugging his son tight, Chase was their oldest of the twins.. He was more protective of Jay, he understood more of his parents fighting and how unhappy his mom looked but he protected Jay and kept him away from it.

The door knocked and Maria moved to open it but Damien grabbed her arm and Carol went in front of Maria "Don't answer that" She muttered and Maria looked at the two "It's just my neighbor"

"They can change into anyone." Carol said and Damien's fist grew golden a bit "I don't want to fight and put the kids at risk" He muttered and Carol looked over and couldn't help but admire how Damien was so protective of the kids already.

Carol went towards the door and opened it, glaring at an older man with narrowed eyes as the older man smiled "Hi there.?

"What do you want?" Carol muttered and Damien went towards the door and opened it wider to show he was there and he grinned "Hey, you need something? No? Amazing, bye" He said as Tom was looking at them with a lost expression "Ummm..."

Maria went towards the door and nudged Carol a bit while literally Damien was pushed away, Damien yelled a 'Hey!' and she glared at him and he remained silent like a scolded kid and she looked at him "Your mom is outside with the kids, why don't you go catch up with her" She said and Damien muttered "But he may be an alien"

Maria ignored Damien and turned towards the man "Hey Tom. These are my friends Carol and Damien" She said as Damien looked at the man with narrowed eyes as Tom smiled "Pleased to meet you. Yow! Static electricity out here's no joke. I noted that peculiar bird you got parked by the road, and I was just wondering if you'd mind if I bring the boys over to get a closer looksie?" He said as Carol crossed her arms and she suddenly remembered that her sons along with Monica were outside playing but Damien's mother Mary was with them and she sighed "A closer looksie?"

"Yeah."

"To see the bird parked out by the road. You're really working overtime to sell this one, aren't you Talos?" Carol said and Damien's fist was hidden behind the door but Maria could saw that the fist was growing a dim golden and she looked over at Tom "I'm sorry. Tom, this isn't really a good time. I'll come by tomorrow? Okay?" Maria said trying to get Tom away from two very angry people with powers.

Maria closed the door, but Carol and Damien were staring at Tom. Once Maria has closed the door, a voice was heard behind them and Fury drawed his weapon and aims it towards the voice, Vers' hands light up and Damien stood in front of Maria who stood there confused

"You know, you really should be kinder to your neighbors. You never know when you're gonna need to borrow some sugar." Talos said as he came into view, taking a sip of his milkshake and Damien started to go towards him, his fist glowing as he was ready to take a punch out of Talos who just glared at him "Now hang on a second, before you go swinging those jazz hands around, making a mess in your friend's house - and... it's a lovely home.." Talos said as Maria looked out the window and saw herself playing with Monica, Chase and Jay while Mary was watching them with a smile on her face "Oh my God. What the hell?"

"No one's gonna hurt the kids. Just, don't kill me. That would really complicate the situation." Talos muttered and Carol looked like she wanted to bolt outside to get the kids while Damien mumbled "You lay a hand on those kids, I won't be afraid to take your heart out right now" He threatened and Talos narrowed his eyes "I know Soldier, I know. You'll tear me apart"

"I'm about five seconds from complicating that wall with some ugly-ass Skrull brains." Fury said and Talos looked over at him"I'm sorry I simmed your boss. But now I stand before you as my true self. Without deception." He said looking over at the people in front of him and Carol looked out the window "And who is that, out there?" She mumbled and Talos sighed

"Okay, that's a fair point. But I'm sure that you understand, I had to take some precautions. I saw you two crush 20 of my best men with your hands bound. I just wanna talk." He said peacefully and Carol looked at him "Last time we talked, we ended up hanging from our ankles."

"That was before I knew who you two were. Before I found what made you different from the others. I have an audio recording from Pegasus, of your voices, from a plane crash six years ago. On a device I believe you call a 'black box'." He said and Maria froze and she shook her head "They told me it was destroyed in the crash. How'd you get it?"

"Does she not understand? Young lady I have a special skill that kinda allows me to get into places I'm not supposed to be." Talos said and he turned to Damien "You're a father.. I know, I am one too. You'll do anything to protect them?" He said and Damien looked at him

"I didn't even know I had kids, let alone I was married" He mumbled and Talos looked at him "But you see those two boys and..."

"Like you'll take a bullet for them anytime" Talos finished and Damien nodded "Yeah.. That"

"Call me young lady again, and I'm gonna put my foot in a place it's not supposed to be." Maria said looking at Talos who looked back with a frown "Am I supposed to guess where that is?"

"Your ass." Fury and Maria said at the same time and Talos' eyes widened "Okay, I get it. We're all a little on edge here. But look, I just need your help decoding some coordinates. If you sit down, you listen to this, I assure you, it'll be worth your while." He said looking at Carol and Damien. Carol was looking out the window and she looked over at Talos "Call your buddy back inside and I'll listen." She muttered and Damien looked over at him "I'll listen to whatever you say but you lay even a finger on any of the children, I will throw you into space so fast"

Talos looked at Damien, and nodded as he respected the man and he stuck out his hand and Damien took it and shook it"Deal."

[Goose walked onto the scene and began pressing himself against Talos' legs. Talos, surprised jumped backwards as he was now scared and Damien frowned as Talos was backing away "Oh my God! Get that thing away! How'd that get in here?"

Carol picked up Goose, and held him out towards Talos. Carol walking towards Talos, with her arms still extended, causing Talos to walk backwards as he shook his head, backing away in terror "The cat? This isn't what you're afraid of, is it?" Carol said and Talos looked at her with wide eyes

"That's not a cat. That's a Flerken." He muttered and Fury couldn't help but burst into laughter "A Flerken?"

Monica was walking into the house and saw Maria standing next to Carol, Damien and Fury. She looks around and sees the Skrull assuming its true form

"Mom?" She said and Damien looked over at her "Don't worry Monica, they won't hurt you." He said and saw Chase and Jay were coming up the stairs and Mary was behind them, but Mary grabbed the boys' shoulders and Chase stayed in front of Jay who was looking at the aliens with wide eyes.

"Ma-Um Mom.. Can you take the kids outside for a second? i need you inside here too" Damien said as he looked over at the Shield Director who nodded and looked down at the twins "Is it okay if you guys play outside for a bit? I need to talk to your parents too" She said and Damien saw Carol flinch at the word "Parents' as she was still getting used to the fact that she was a mother.

Damien knew that he couldn't avoid Carol forever and they had to talk..
