This next shot is about Pietro all grown up with kids. He thinks about his childhood and teenhood, thinks about the future of his children, and chats with his oldest child. The children are from my stories Our Future, Their Hell and Meet The Children. And I added three more.

Pietro leanded against a tree and watched the younger generation play, train, read, or whatever they were doing with a smile. He never got to enjoy his youth and was glad his kids and his friends kids were able to enjoy theirs.

He shook his head when he saw his oldest son, youngest daughter, his nephew, and two of his son's friends throwing water balloons at Hope, Haley, and Kate.

"Roic Maximoff, Arden Crisp, Erik Worthington, Paula Maximoff, Rad LeBeau."

The five stopped what they were doing.

"What's going on here?"

"We were just playing, Papa," said Paula.

"It didn't look like Hope, Haley, and Kate wanted to play."

"Haley insulted me," said Arden. "And Hope and Kate just happened to be near her, so they got wet too."

"Well, apologize to them not. All three of them."

"Sorry," muttered Rad, Arden, Rick, Paula, and Roic.

"Roic, come with me," said Pietro.

"Why?" asked Roic. "What'd I do?"

"Nothing. I just want to have a walk and talk with my son."

"Do we have to?"

Pietro smiled at the irony. He whole like, Pietro wanted to spend time with his father. Now he had his own son, but Roic never wanted to be around his dad.

"A few minutes won't kill you."

"And if it does?"

"Then you won't have to eat Kitty's cookies again."

Roic made a face at the mention of Kitty's cookies. Pietro laughed.

"Come on."

They walked around the Institute. They saw Hardy and Mirah working on a science project, Rosine throwing a disk to Jay, who was in wolf form, and Tawny and Marian stealing money from Chris.

"How's school?" Pietro asked his son.

"Okay."

"Do you know what you wanna be?"

"No. You always ask me that and I always tell you I don't know."

"Well you need to decide soon. You don't have that much time."

"What if I don't want to get a job?"

"Well, you could always stay here at the Institute. But you would have to teach. We're not gonna let you stay and be a lazy bumb."

"Teach? Pff!"

"Roic, this is serious! This is your future and life! Don't waste it!"

"Like you wasted you?"

"I never wasted it. Your grandfather did. I wanted to become a doctor, but he made me be a soldier for his little war. It's thanks to the professor I got a job to teach here."

"Your problems aren't mine. Boo-hoo, grandpa ruined your life. Big deal."

"You don't know how good you have it."

"Yeah. Everything is prefect."

Pietro frowned at his son's behavior.

Roic saw Rachel walk by and grinned.

"Later, Dad."

Roic went after her.

"You life is really good, Roic," whispered Pietro. "I wish my dad gave a damn about me and my sisters like I do about you and your siblings."

Pietro headed for the mansion.
