All over the Greek islands, Anthony traveled with his new family. Taking the salty air into his lungs, he never felt better. It had only been a few months of just roaming, but he still had to convince himself that he was not dreaming...he was here, toes in the sand, beads of sweat dripping down, and completely free.
"Hey there..." He caught eyes with Steve. "I'd hate to interrupt, but dinner's getting cold."
"Alright, just a moment...I wanna watch this sunset..."
Steve took his hand and they gazed out at the horizon. "I love you, Anthony..." He suddenly said.
Anthony did a double take. "Me?"
"Yes, you..." Steve laughed shyly.
"I...I think I love you too...everything about you..."
Steve leaned in for a kiss, but stopped when he tasted salty tears.
"Anthony? Are you ok?"
"Yes...never better..."
Carol entered the water, feeling instant relief from the long journey. She swam up to Thor, who wrapped her legs around his waist.
"What took you so long?" Thor asked.
"Babysitting all of you is complicated...but I wouldn't trade any of you for the world..."
They kissed, and Thor hummed in confusion. "You told me that I would see the most beautiful sights here in Greece..."
"Yes, it's one of my favorite places to visit..."
"Well, it's odd, because I'm looking at it right now, but she keeps wondering off..." He kissed her again as she laughed. "But I am willing to chase after her for the rest of my life because I love her so-"
"I'm sorry?" Carol blushed, and pushed herself off of Thor.
"...I love you...if that's alright..."
She laughed. "Wow, I..." She swam back up to him, almost nose to nose. "You love me?"
"Yes, of course...more than anything in this world..."
"Well, that's a relief, cause I love you too..."
Fury was rudely interrupted from his afternoon nap by Clint and Natasha.
"Aren't you retired?" Fury grumbled.
"Not yet, unfortunately...we found more about Anthony's past...he's a Stark..."
Fury shot his eyebrows up into his head. "You can't be serious...that motherfucker is the richest man in France! Besides the king..."
"Should we tell him?" Natasha nodded in Anthony's direction, who was having a picnic with Steve, laughing and carrying on.
"Nah..." Fury waved it off. "At least not for now...he deserves to live a little..."
