Steve tugged on a baseball cap and walked into the high school. It was as his son put it a "terrible disguise" but it worked well enough to not draw a ton of attention. He headed into the office where he saw his teenage daughter slouching in a metal chair holding an ice pack to her face. He tugged the earbuds out of her ears and pocketed them along with her cell phone.

"What the hell!" The girl snapped looking up.

"Language, Evie." Steve sighed, then he held out his hand for the ice pack. "Let me see your face."

"Its not that bad." She said handing her father the ice and tilting her chin to let him cup her face.

"He look worse? Follow my finger." He moved his index finger in front of her eyes.

"Papa! I dont have a concussion." Evie rolled her eyes.

"Clearly, if you're still able to be this sassy." He fingers moved to the bridge of her nose where he felt a break. "I'm going to set this before its starts to heal"

Evie shrugged knowing she couldn't stop him and let out a string if colorful words as her father popped the bridge of her nose back to where it belonged.

"Language." Steve said "If you dont want it to hurt don't get into fights."

"Yes sir." Evie sighed.

"I thought we talked about this Evie." Steve ran a callused hand through her hair. "Pretty sure I made myself clear."

"You did."

"So why am I here at school setting your nose? Why is there rumor you broke a kid's jaw?"

"Because he bobbed instead of weaving?" Evie shrugged.

"Sarcasm is not a good look."

"You like it on Daddy..."

"I tolerate it on your Daddy. He's past fixing." Steve chuckled. "And we can talk about it at home if you'd rather explain what happened to him too."

"Captain Rogers!" Principal Morris entered the room as he showed a bloodied boy and his mother to the door. "Thank you for coming. Why don't you and Evie step into my office."

"I'm so sorry ma'am." Steve said extending his hand to the woman leaving, "I'll have the school give us your contact information and we will handle any medical bills."

Evie and Steve stepped into the office and sat down as Principal Morris took a seat at the desk.

"Thank you for coming in Captain, as you can see we've had a bit of a problem here."

"Of course, what happened?" Steve turned to his daughter.

"Well that's part of the problem. Thomas Vickson, the child leaving just now has yet to give a straight answer as to what led to the events that took place. I'm hoping Evie might be able to shed some light?" Principal Morris turned to address Evie.

"Evie." Steve nodded at Evie. "What happened?"

"Dude's a dick." She shrugged.

"Evangeline." Steve warned.

"Just saying. He was picking on some little kids, freshmen. Now normally I wouldn't care because they probably deserve it but it was Peter and Ned and they're just too dumb." Evie rolled her eyes. "And like I guess I'm supposed to stand up for the moron? Anyway those idiots were talking about legos, even though I've told them to quit doing that like a dozen times if they want to not get beat up. But they don't listen they're dumb. So Dickson-"

"Vickson." Principal Morris interrupted.

"I said what I said. So he starts talking smack about them, and..." She chuckled, "And it was pretty funny. Until he started hitting Ned. Not funny. You dont hit little kids. I mean he hasn't even hit puberty yet I'm taller than him for chrissake-"

"Evie." Steve's voice dropped.

"We havent been to church in years calm down. So Ned's a mess and then he starts going at Peter and I figure I should probably tell him to stop or I will never hear the end of it. So I tell him to stop picking on babies and if he really needs to hit someone hit me, I at least hit back. So that asshole! He says that he can't hit a girl since we aren't in the bedroom. So I clocked him. Like way to be nasty. And then he hit me and I guess Peter's running to get someone because hes a nark. And dudes talking smack about how I'm so weak and my punch didnt hurt him so I went for the nose but he moved all weird and I think I broke his jaw..." Evie shrugged "deserved it though.

"Evie..." Principal Morris started to talk before sighing. "We will look into the bullying. I will talk to Ned and Peter. You're suspended for the rest of the week for fighting."

"What do I need to sign?" Steve sighed, running his hand across his face.

"Why am I getting suspended? Hes the one that started it!" Evie looked offended at her father's complacency.

"You broke a boy's jaw."

"He was a dick and beating up kids."

"You don't get to break people's jaws for being jerks Evie." Steve said.

"One hell of a double standard there Pops."

"You're in trouble. Do not make it worse." Steve growled into her ear.

"But Dickson is more suspended right?" Evie looked to her principal.

"Evie. Name calling is a form of bullying we don't tollerate here. We will investigate the issue and go from there."

"I'll call the school board if we're in the same amount of trouble." Evie said rolling her eyes."That's a double standard. Maybe even sexist."

"Car now." Steve pursed his lips and handed her the car keys. "Get your stuff and get in the car."

"Fine." Evie huffed tossing her melted ice pack into the trash. She stared at her principal and while avoiding any proximity with her father she whispered, "School board." before darting out the door.
