A/N: Hello everyone! I'm hoping this is an okay chapter. It was more filler than anything, but things are going to pick up again. Trust me. Civil War timeline coming up fast!

Songs used in this chapter are Hey Mama by David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj, and Focus by Ariana Grande


"Ow!" I said, nearly shooting up off the bed from the pain. I was having such a good dream too.

"Don't move," Lincoln said, and I grumbled.

"Stupid acupuncture. Stupid Inhuman gene. Stupid wings." I mumbled as I opened my eyes.

"Do I have to give you the rundown?" He teased.

"Stupid acupuncture," I repeated, snarling at him.

"Calm. Down." Steve's voice said and I cringed.

"I'm sorry isn't going to cut it. But I can explain-" I started.

"Stop talking." Bucky said next, cutting me off. I shut my mouth audibly and chose the less mature option in my head. The silent treatment.

"Your father already brought the journals to us after he got back. We know you only just found out about them yesterday, but that didn't mean you had to go get them that second."

"You were reckless. You didn't know the extent of your abilities and you knew what it could do to you." Bucky continued on Steve's thought. I started singing a random song in my head, until I had fallen back asleep.

"Okay, all done Sera," Daisy's voice said and I looked up.

"Who fed my horses?" I asked, noticing the time.

"Loki was very excited to go see them, so I'm assuming he did."

"I haven't talked to him in awhile," I mused, blinking back the sleepiness I felt.

"Not too sure. He doesn't talk to many people besides, Thor, Maria and yourself." Daisy said as she turned so I could change into my sports bra, tank top and yoga pants.

"Where are my children?" I wondered as Daisy opened the door for me.

"In the studio with Natasha." She said and I was feeling confused at the reply. Running up the stairs past the training room and skidding to a stop at the doorframe. I watched as Natasha showed Callie a spin and Callie tried to copy it, falling on her bum.

Giggling and sneaking up behind Elijah, I scooped him up, growling into his neck.

"Mama," He giggled, as Callie and Nat looked up at me.

"How was your day at the spa?" Nat teased.

"Horrible. I feel so weird now," I said, grimacing at the odd feeling in my body.

"Daisy said its just your powers settling. It will pass," She said, as she pointed to the hole in the floor, "Now, tell me about this."

Giving my best guilty smile I sighed, "You found that."

"Yeah. I nearly rolled my ankle on it." She said with narrowed eyes.

"If you stand back, I will show you," I said, gesturing for her to move. I set the kids down in the corner, and removed my yoga pants so that I could grab at the pole better. Natasha's face remained neutral as I did so, and kept her gaze trained on me.

"ARSENAL, lower it." I said, and I heard the gears in the ceiling working before I saw the bar descending, and securing itself in the floor.

Natasha stood, speechless as I dropped to the floor in a split.

"Well that was unexpected." She said, cocking her head to the side.

"My husbands don't know," I sighed, as the pole raised and disappeared into the ceiling.

"Of course not. Cause they would immediately go repent at the closest church if they saw that," Natasha laughed.

"It wasn't that dirty," I mumbled, going to pick up Callie. She saw me walking over and nudged Elijah. He smiled up at Natasha and me before he and Callie got up to walk over to us. It was adorable and I cooed over them as I slipped my yoga pants back on.

"Do you guys want to walk back to Dad and Daddy?" I chuckled as I realized they were already walking toward the door.

"Babies on the loose!" Natasha teased, chasing after Elijah. As the twins took off, at a surprisingly fast pace, we walked to keep up with them, talking about training. Gamora turned a corner and began walking with us.

"Your children are beautiful," She mentioned after a short period of silence.

"Thank you. I'd thank my super-husbands, but I did all the heavy lifting during the pregnancy," I said, making Natasha smirk.

"Don't tell them that." She teased.

"Why don't you take Gamora to spar, while I make lunch?" I suggested.

"You game?" Natasha asked, and Gamora responded, "I haven't had a good girl on girl in awhile."

I snorted quietly as they walked off, leaving me to the children. But out of nowhere, Wanda and Daisy snatched them up.

"We've got them. Please? The boys are driving us crazy. They are all trying to be macho and see who's toughest."

"Be my guest. Bye little ones, enjoy your time with your Aunties," I said, making the girls practically beam. They waved goodbye using the twin's hands and the kids squealed in excitement. I stood, watching them walk away and smirked to myself.

"ARSENAL, play my cooking playlist please," I said as I got into the empty kitchen.

"Yes ma'am. Shall I start with Focus?"

"Please." I said, rolling my head and stretching my arms in front of my body. Moving sensually through the kitchen, I moved my hips and rocked my head to the rhythm.

"You can really distract a guy," Steve said from the doorway.

"It wasn't meant as a distraction. It's my way of controlling my emotions. You know that," I said, continuing to make sandwiches.

"How do you feel?" He asked, coming up behind me and rubbing my shoulders where my wings would come out.

"Ahhh, perfect." I moaned, as a ripple of ecstasy emanated from his touch.

"You're really okay?" He asked softly.

"I'm perfect. I've felt more like myself in the last 24 hours, than I have in the last 25 years."

"You scared me. My heart stopped, and it was actually physically painful to see you covered in stone." He said softly, kissing the back of my head. Turning in his grasp, I wound my arms around his neck gently and said, "But I'm here. I'm alive, and you don't have to be afraid of me."

"We aren't afraid of you. We were afraid for you." He said seriously.

"Ah, you've got your Captain face on. I want Steve back," I sighed.

"I only have my… "Captain face" on, because this is serious. You could have found another time to go and get those notebooks."

"Steve, I went because I needed the space. Daisy did something similar, except Coulson made her and Trip take a small vacation at the Retreat. I needed to talk to… the one person that can't give me the answers I wanted." I said, as his head inclined towards mine slowly. He rested our foreheads together and replied, "I'm a idiot."

"No, you aren't. It's not anyone's natural assumption, that a person that is in emotional turmoil will seek guidance by a headstone," I said holding his face in my hands.

"But I should know better by now to trust you."

"Hey, there is a difference between trust and trying to read someone's mind. I should know." I chuckled.

"Okay, okay. But to make it up to me for not telling us where you were going last night, you need to not complain tonight. Just let us spoil you and enjoy the party. No kitchen duty for you."

"Just no surprises tonight. I'm not in the mood to punch whoever jumps out at me, or sneaks up behind me."
