Characters: Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel, Billy Kaplan/Wiccan, Teddy Altman/Hulkling Time-frame: The final pages of the Children's Crusade, page 1, page 2 Summary: Sometimes, Carol's timing couldn't be more perfect. Other times... it left much to be desired. Oh well, at least the boys seemed to be doing better. The first thing Carol noticed once she came closer to the window was that the expected sight of Billy curled up next to the glass was missing. It was all the easier to tell with the lights in the room being on for a change, and the voices she heard coming out through the open window made it all the more suspicious. She frowned momentarily

Characters: Billy Kaplan, Teddy Altman, kid Loki Time-frame: V2, shortly after issue 5 Summary: It’s been months since the last time Billy Kaplan used his powers, and it was high-time he got back in the game. But are his powers only for the greater good? The door leading into the ship's hull slid aside with a gentle hissing sound. The cool night's air rushed through the opening into the temperature-regulated space, eagerly embracing the cloaked young man standing at the entrance. He remained still for a moment before looking over his shoulder. There was no one in sight, his traveling companions all out for the night, and seemingly obli

Tommy catches up on some recently released media and Eli pays the price – "On your left" was all Eli heard before a blur of silver and green dashed past him, creating a gust that carried with it whatever it could. Eli panted lightly as he slowed down his pace and finally came to a stop before looking around the park, half expecting Tommy to dash past him again. "Did he even see that movie...?" – Teddy learns the hard way that Kaplan family reunions are brutal, specifically the meals. – 'I want to come to the family holiday meal', Teddy said. 'I'm sure it'll be fine', he said. Never again, he swore and tried find

Characters: Carol Danvers, Jessica Drew, Wanda Maximoff Prompt: Date night "I wish I had a date too." Carol moaned as she watched Jessica in her new dress, with her hair made and face painted. "Didn't you have one just the other day?" Jessica asked and poured herself a cup of juice before leaning on the kitchen counter. Carol shrugged, face twisted with mild disgust. "I'd rather clean Chewie's hairballs than repeat that." "Another dud, huh." "Yeah..." The silence that followed was broken by the sounds of a rough sole clicking on the floor, and before long Wanda walked in, catching both other Avengers by surprise as she was dressed

"This is how it’s supposed to go, right?" Kate frowned and tugged at yet another leaf only to pull it off the branch. She frowned, looked sideways, and tucked it back in the pot out of sight. Did flower arrangements get that much more difficult since her sister’s wedding... or was she just never really as good at it as she thought? The first. Let’s go with the first, she nodded and took a step back to appreciate her handiwork. ...yeah back to the drawing board. "That looks great!" The exclamation made her jump lightly but Kate quickly regained her composure and turned to face the newcomer with a bright smile as she flipped

David gets a book of spells and takes the time to reflect on his relationship with magic and a certain Chaos Magic user Though puzzled by the request, Dr. Strange had few objections to lending the young former-mutant, one David Alleyne, a book of spells. If recent events taught David anything it was that he should deepen his familiarity with the field, and while he knew everything already, decided it was best to get personally acquainted with at least the basics. As soon as he opened the book, however, he was faced with two aggravating notions. The first was that he knew everything the book had to offer. Of course he did, he berated himself

Billy pays Wanda a visit when she's not home. He leaves behind a memento. – "My apologies, Master William", Jarvis said, voice remorseful and low. "But it would appear your mother has not yet returned from her mission." "That's alright, Jarvis." Billy smiled back and took his backpack off his shoulder. "I'll wait." Having said that he pulled a pile of colorful pages out of his bag and settled down with it by the nearest table. By the time Wanda was back Billy was gone, but waiting for her were several paper cranes scattered in her room, one of which was magically flying. oxo Billy & Teddy, Cookies – It was the middle of the

Teddy in the library with a kitchen knife – "Yeah, I think we’ll have to pass on that idea." Teddy muttered begrudgingly under his breath and stared at what could only have been a butter knife that appeared in his hand in the place of his pen. Alone in the mansion’s library so they could get some quiet study time, it was only a matter of time before either Billy or Teddy came up with an idea of how to take advantage of the situation in favor of some nonacademic endeavors. Yet no sooner did Billy’s foot start going up Teddy’s leg did the magical switch occur, making both stare at the dining utensil with growing dr

Billy gritted his teeth to the point he could swear he tasted blood. Every word that came out of Teddy's mouth was wrong- wrong! - and made Billy further wonder where had he gone wrong with that one. Even though Teddy had the core-book open on his lap, the blond still made all the wrong possible choices he could when constructing a new character for the roleplay campaign they were invited to join. The amount of second hand embarrassment alone was almost enough to make Billy snap. "What do you think?" Teddy asked, his voice a honey-dripping purr that made him sound far too happy with himself. Billy took a long, stabilizing breath before
