Hey guys! here comes another one.

Hope you guys like it. I have been watching What If and the last episode was...um, disturbing. But also funny and heartbreaking. Just like Marvel. Anyway, Sharon still gets messed up by Steve, I think that's funny.

Also Hope Van Dyne is finally getting the recognition she deserves, yay!!

Anyway, read and enjoy (sorry if there are any mistakes)


Maria dreams of a garden. A quiet place where she can grow all type of plants if she ever retires...

So she better start now, and buys an indoor plant after reading an article called: 30 Gorgeous Indoor Plants That Are Almost Impossible to Kill

Maria arrives a week later with a sansevieria trifasciata (snake plant) and looks for a place where it would look great and also, get enough light.

Steve and the cat (that might have claimed the place as his house and them as his slaves) stop playing in the couch and stare intrigued at the new addition.

"What's that?"

"A snake plant. Remember the garden? I'm going to start with something easy and almost impossible to kill."

She totally forgets to water it. And then the worst happens.

The cat comes back for a visit and some days later, he gets sick. Diarrhea, nausea and everything. Pretty disgusting she thinks.

At the veterinary, she discovers snake plants are toxic for pets (but the stupid plant was kind of dying at this point)

And how was she supposed to know? The cat isn't even hers!

"I'm such an idiot..."

"At least he's getting better. He's going to hate us now."

Maria keeps covering her face in frustration. "Not only did I failed with the plant, I almost killed an animal now!"

"Hey, calm down. It's not your fault."

When he doesn't know what else to say, something comes to his mind:

"Well, you're not that bad. I mean, you take care of me and the team when we go out and... technically we are your garden..."

She looks up and glares at him.

"Terrible metaphor Steve."


Some weeks later, Tony calls her urgently and asks her to go to the 150th floor of the Tower.

She gets shocked at the sight of a beautiful greenhouse.

"Your boyfriend said something about us being your...garden? Well this isn't a garden but thought you would love it. You really killed the plant? Honestly I thought you would be better at it. It's so funny, actually. And ironic."


There you go! And yes, the plant died but the cat didn't. I thought I would mention the cat, because he appeared a few chapters ago, so...Anyway, see you guys and have a nice week (or weekend, just have a nice life! love you!)
