A/N: Hey guys. She's back! Finally. But it was fun while it lasted. Enjoy :)

As the excitement died down about my return, I noticed the foundation of another building being dug. Being October, I was confused as to why they thought it would set in time, but my father only got the best. He was adamant about SHIELD being closer to us. I was pulled into a tight hug for a few minutes as he sniffed about how much I had scared him and that I should never visit a random dimension without a way to get back. I knew he was joking, like the guys had when I first got back, but it was not without it's truth. I shouldn't attempt to calm down Bruce from Hulking out but get everyone to safety instead.

Speaking of my father, I sat down and had a long talk with him about his actions from Ultron and how he shouldn't do anything rash in repentance to the world. Everyone wanted a full day with me after Steve, Bucky and my father had their time, and it was interesting making time for everyone and my children. Callie was alright without me, but Elijah was clingy. And I didn't mind in the slightest.

Callie was with her Daddies at all times, telling them about her adventures in the snow, and how she wanted snow to show them how she made snowmen like Olaf. She then begged Loki to make it snow and he tried his best to make a small patch for her and Elijah to play in. She was so thankful she hugged his neck tightly in appreciation. Elijah was full of wonder at the white substance that was on the ground, and dragged me out each day to play around in it with Joey.

Ah, Joey. He was overjoyed at seeing me again, jumping up and licking every patch of skin he could find. He really didn't leave my side now. He had to be with me in the bathroom for the first few days, scared I was going to disappear again.

But the person that missed me the most? Well, men.

Steve and Bucky. It was a full 8 hours in the bedroom as they expressed their happiness at my return. By the end of it, I had to sleep for the rest of the day and it threw off my sleep schedule.

"Mama," I heard my boy say, getting my attention as we played outside in the snow patch.

"Yes baby boy?" I asked, bending down to his level.

"Where were you?"

"I was in a safe place, but I'm sorry I scared you. I promise to tell you if I'm leaving again, ok? And I hope you liked your lullaby," I smiled to him.

"It made me miss you."

"But you know that I'm always here," I pointed to his heart and he giggled when I tickled under his chin.

"I know, but I still missed you and Callie." He said, and I held out my arms. He ran into my hug and squeezed me tight. I whispered my love to him and he had to keep looking back to make sure I was still there while he played. It broke my heart.

When he was tuckered out, and Callie was too, I brought them both inside. Callie fast asleep on my shoulder and Elijah holding my fingers as he walked beside me.

"Was Joey a good boy while I was gone?" I asked him, as I watched him struggle to stay awake.

"Yes! Daddy took us horseback riding. He said you wouldn't mind. Sunny is silly. He tickled my hand when I tried to feed him an apple piece."

"He has funny lips that have to reach and grab food, because he doesn't have hands like we do," I said, as we trudged up the stairs.

"Dad!" Elijah said, letting go of my hand and running to Steve.

"Hey buddy. How was the snow?" Steve asked our son as Bucky came up beside me and took Callie from my arms gently.

"It was amazing. Loki made the snow… Mama?"

"He made the snow impervious to heat. It will stick around for a while. Keep them entertained," I said, as Elijah bounded towards our door with Joey on his heels.

"While, I would love nothing more than to lock you in the apartment, Natasha says you two have an appointment with Dr. Cho."

"Steve, call her Helen. We've been in some pretty sticky situations with her."

"And now that you've had a few days to settle in, you need to explain what went on over there. Because your messages weren't in detail enough."

"Fine," I sighed dramatically, and kissing both of them sweetly, perhaps lingering a little too long. But they didn't seem to mind, both pulled away with goofy smiles on their faces. As I walked away slowly, I added and little swing to my hips and knew I was going to get it tonight, if their low groans were any indication.

Joey followed beside me, constantly raising his head to lick my fingers, his own personal way of ensuring I was real. I smiled down at him and his tail whacked against my leg. As I made it to the lab, I noticed Dr. Cho and Natasha already talking, discussing her options.

"Okay, so, who's ready to make a baby?" I said, excited as I rubbed my hands together. Natasha just raised an eyebrow at me and smirked. Helen laughed a little.

"Don't make fun of me! I've waited seven years for this day!"

"It's been six years since you offered."

"Nah, I was secretly hoping you'd ask before I offered. I can't wait for a little niece with your red curls!"

"What if it's a boy?" She countered.

"Okay, a nephew with Bruce's moppy hair. Anything! It could turn out to be a lizard and I would love it."

"Well, let's hope we get this right." She chuckled. Helen had already gone over everything with Natasha and I made sure that the guys gloved up every time. They didn't like it, but I didn't care. I wasn't messing this up for Natasha. We both were administered hormones. Mine helped my uterus allow an embryo to implant itself, and Natasha's were to help harvest her healthy eggs. She had already harvested enough eggs for the first few tries, and I was happy that everything was ready to go for that evening. Fast acting hormone shots.

After the shots, Helen took ultrasounds on both of us, and was very happy to see that Natasha's ovaries were still producing.

"Everyone gather in the kitchen!" I had ARSENAL announce through the base, nixing the twin's nursery. I was going to have to start thinking about getting them big kid beds now. That was a depressing thought.

"Ma'am. Miss Maximoff is currently in the kitchen, asking you to speak in private."

"Thanks A. Tell her I'm on my way and that she has about two minutes starting now."

"Yes Ma'am." She responded as I started making my way towards our gathering area.

As I walked into the kitchen, I noticed Wanda pacing back and forth. Last time I found her like this was when she was trying to decide what to do about her relationship/friendship with Brock.

"Wanda, you're wearing a hole in my floor," I said softly, startling her.

"Will you be my Maid of Honor?" She blurted out, and then winced, "I meant to start with how much you mean to me, as a sister and about to be family-"

"Yes!" I said, and she stopped, confused.

"You will?"

"Of course Wands. You are my little sister, even though we don't have the same parents, and you are marrying my cousin. You mean a lot to me too."

"Awesome!" I heard Brock say behind me as he hugged me tightly around the shoulders, "My two favorite girls."

"Damn straight," I laughed, before wiggling out of his hug to grip Wanda to me tightly.

"Is it a hugging party?" Pietro asked, wrapping himself around both myself and Wanda.

"No, you dork."

"Well, where is my birthday present? I was promised a silver Range Rover," He said, moving to sit down.

"What? I missed your birthdays?" I asked, looking at Wanda horrified.

"It's okay. You were off world," She smirked, "You have an excuse."

"So, I have two cars to get and then you both get a party."

"We had a small party. Well, as small as you can have when your father throws it."

"True," I laughed as everyone trickled in. As they sat down at the table, Steve and Bucky walked in to sit in their spots too. The expectant looks were too much, as it got silent very fast.

"Okay, first things first. Pietro already knows this, but the world I landed in, was mirror to our own. Each of you existed there. Well, Except Pietro, Brock, Tripp and ARSENAL."

"What happened to us?" Tripp asked. He had just gotten back from an assignment from Coulson, and was welcomed back as if he never left. Except Daisy was ecstatic, obviously.

"Basically, my mother made a choice in that universe, to stay with Tony. But she was killed when she was pregnant with me. I didn't exist, and because of that, I wasn't there for a lot of things. To save Pietro. Brock was still Hydra because I wasn't there to erase his brainwashing."

"So, because I wasn't there, a series of events conspired in which Brock started trying to kill Steve, for dropping the Triskellion on him. I wasn't there with the GH325 to save Pietro, so Wanda retreated into herself for a majority of her training."

"Tripp was killed by the Terrigen crystal when Daisy and Raina went into the temple, and he followed. Though, the events that transpired there are the exact same way they happened here, just, you ducked this time."

"Now, here's what happened over there," I said, before launching into what I knew. I watched everyone's eyes widen at certain points and scowls plant themselves on their lips, and a few even cursed under their breath. As I got to the Accords, Wanda's eyes widened and I could practically hear the protest form her and quite a few others.

"And then Ross locked Steve's… team, away in the Raft, a floating Super Max for criminals. And Rhodey made a slight recovery, with surgeries and the help of a robotic exoskeleton Dad made. Then, Helmut Zemo was captured by T'Challa, and Steve, Bucky and Dad duked it out because Helmut showed the three of you a video, where Tony learned the Winter Soldier killed his parents. More in particular his mother. But after Bucky's arm got blown off by Tony, Steve went full psycho on Tony, nearly killing him, but only destroyed his arc reactor so he couldn't follow Steve in the suit. Steve left his shield behind, because Tony taunted him saying it didn't belong to him, that his Dad made it."

"So Steve was just the Captain, and broke everyone out of the Raft, hid in Wakanda with T'Challa, and then Bucky decided for himself that he should go into cryo until they figured out a way to get rid of the trigger words. By the way, you and I are going into the panic room after this." I said, pointing at Bucky. He nodded, but didn't look relieved.

"Anyways. Tony received a package with a cell phone and a note saying that Steve was sorry and that if he ever needed him, or the rest of the team, to call," I said, taking a deep breath.

"But then I showed up and they all began interrogating me, and once they figured out I was InHuman and I told them what I knew, they told me the date. It was December 12th. I not only had dimensionally travelled, but they are further into the future than us. It was a week later that Steve, Sam, Clint, Scott and Wanda came back. But Steve didn't tell Tony that after explaining my skill set. T'Challa thought that I might be able to help Bucky. Tony wasn't happy about it, but after I sat down with them and helped Steve, Bucky and Tony talk about it, they began to tolerate being around each other."

"Ross is Hydra." I said, making Steve's head snap up.

"What?" Bruce said, looking horrified.

"He is the son of Dr. Werner Reinhardt. Daniel Whitehall," I said and Coulson looked at me in question.

"He wanted to come after the InHumans too, but General Talbot was protecting them from him. Bucky, Sam, and Clint did some body snatching for me, taking Carson, Malick and Ross back to the base so I could interrogate them. All three sang like canaries, especially after I allowed Wanda the pleasure of using her powers on Ross for what he had done to her."

"What had he done to me?" She asked, looking livid.

"Because they felt your powers were a threat, in captivity, you were kept in a cell, and a shock collar was placed around your throat. They would shock you if you talked, if you moved in a way they felt threatening, and I suspect, even sometimes just for fun."

"I interrogated Ross specifically because the Accords sounded fishy to me. Turns out, it was just a way for Ross to control the Avengers, and if they didn't comply, they were going to… well let's just say that Ross hasn't been trying to find Bruce to get back at him for turning himself into the Hulk."

"What do you mean?" Natasha asked, gently taking her… I wasn't sure what label they were using for their relationship, but she was holding Bruce's hand.

"It meant that Ross wanted the super soldier serum, and was going to extract it from Steve's blood if he didn't comply." I sighed, as Steve's jaw locked.

"And after I found that out, I killed him." I said, looking down at my feet.

"They may not be you guys, but they made me feel like family over there. I had to protect them the best way I could." I explained, and Pietro nodded.

"If that ever happened to Wanda here, I would kill to ensure she was never harmed again," Brock responded, giving me a silent look of pride. Steve gave me hard look and nodded in acknowledgement.

I whispered, "ARSENAL, please roll the footage of events from Earth Two."

"Yes Ma'am."

As the scenes played out, everyone watched as Wanda's hold on Brock's burning body slip and she took out a whole floor of one building. The scene changed to the bomb going off outside of the UN assembly in Berlin.

Then, as the footage of a fake James Buchanan Barnes rolled, Steve's fist clenched harder. My father was watching the destruction, and I knew he was relieved we knew this information ahead of time. He didn't want to make any more mistakes. Another scene change, and suddenly they were in the airport, the scene changed to Tony's helmet cam in Siberia as Steve viciously started wailing on him.

"And after the airport battle, Bucky and Steve snuck away to a Hydra base in Siberia." I said, and Bucky stiffened.

"The Super Soldier Serum Bucky had grabbed from the trunk of Howard Stark's car, Hydra had used on 5 of their top fighters."

"They can bring down a government in a night, and you'd never see them coming." Bucky said, as I realized he repressed that memory, "They are in cryo. Not free."

"Well, you've done a wonderful job of telling us about these things Barnes." Natasha snarked, and he gave her a look.

"I am still remembering things I did 50 years ago. Give me a break," He sighed.

"No, it's something I just learned about there. We are going to deal with it before these Accords happen. Trust me."

"Well, then what about the Accords? How do we stop those?"

"I was suggested to make a threat to Ross, but I know that wouldn't work. So I was going to address the UN myself. But I think Lagos is what finally set them into motion. They won't bring it up until we mess up, when the guilt is fresh. It's a very good tactic, and I applaud them for their psychology in this, but I think it's also manipulation, and I'm an expert in that too."

"I think, after the funeral, I will approach the assem-"

"What funeral? Whose?" Steve asked, giving me a hard look. I felt my eyes start to water, and he seemed to understand, his own eyes betraying the sting of losing her. I know how important Peggy was in his life, and it only makes sense. She was one of his first loves, one of the only ones that believed in him, had faith in him to take down Hydra.

To be a great man.

My silence prompted more questions and Steve's head shook slightly as he tried to steel himself.

"Director Carter's," I said softly, and I saw Phil grip Audrey's hand a little tighter. She was visiting because she had heard I returned, but I was sure glad she was here to comfort Phil.

Fury's head bowed from his place leaning against the wall, and I saw Jemma's eyes water.

"November 18th." I said, looking at Steve and he got up wordlessly and left the room. Bucky knew not to follow him, because he needed his space, but I wanted nothing more than to run after him and comfort him. But I had just delivered him horrible news about his past love. I was probably his least favorite person right now.

"I will call in a favor with the President, and hopefully we can sort this out quickly. I don't want a civil war between our team to interrupt our first real Christmas." I said, before bowing my head and leaving the room. I heard a few murmurs, asking Loki or Wanda not to follow me, and a discussion about these events begin. But I wasn't paying attention, because I had one place in mind.

Running outside, and throwing off my flannel shirt, tying it around my waist, I spread my wings and lifted myself into the air.
