And though she be but little, she is fierce.

He lightly scrunched his brows together when Eliza said someone else had vows for him.  Before he realized who she meant, Annina was coming up slowly to him.  Phil smiled and bent down on one knee so he could hear the soft spoken little girl.  Her words went straight to his heart.  So innocent and pure.  A couple of tears fell from his eyes this time and he reached out and brought his new little daughter into his arms. “Sweetheart, I love you too,” he said quietly, kissing her forehead.  Phil would be surprised if there was a dry eye in the entire place right now.

“I love you too,” Phil mouthed back to his future wife.  Wow, that nervousness was coming back again as soon as everyone sat down.  In just a couple of minutes he and Eliza were going to be husband and wife.  Not only that he would have a little girl to call his daughter.  A family of his own.  He turned his head to look at the priest who began to speak on the conventions of marriage and Phil tried to steady his trembling fingers.  How embarrassing would it be if everyone saw the Director of SHIELD shaking up here?

Or course Steve already knew how to fight, but he knew how to fight like a big muscular person, which he wasn’t. Most of his knowledge of fighting came from being hit by other people, by bigger people, by men. You can bet Bucky tried to teach him, but Bucky was big and strong and not qualified to know what would work best for STEVE.

Peggy Carter taught Steve to fight within his abilities, within his limitations, USING his size to his advantage. Be fast, be resourceful, bend your knees and get low and use their momentum against them, and when it gets serious fight dirty.

(x) guess who watched the incredibles again

bonus: Bucky finally succumbs.

The whole morning had been a complete blur for Phil ever since he woke up and realized that today was the day he was getting married.  Married– him!  It’s not like he NEVER wanted to get married it was just the fact that he thought he was way past that point in his life.  Throughout his life he had devoted every waking moment to SHIELD– that was until me met Eliza.  She worked within the organization as well and sort of was like mother hen to all the agents.  She was wonderful, smart, kind, and caring.  She also had a little daughter who Phil was very enamored with.  

As time went by he and she grew closer and closer as work mates and then it slowly developed into something of a great friendship, that friendship blossomed into a romance.  Now here he was standing at the front of a church surrounded by all his friends, waiting to marry the woman he loved so much.

Phil fiddled with his cufflink nervously as he waited for Eliza to make her entrance.  Of all his years being an agent, being on the front lines of danger, this moment right here had made him more nervous than anything he had ever faced.  What if he couldn’t do it?  What if he turned out to be a really crappy husband and father?  The thought made him shake in fear.  Soon the church grew silent and the music started, and Phil looked to Tony Stark who was serving as his best man.  Tony offered him a small nod, and Phil turned back to the doors, watching as Annina entered and began to walk up the aisle, tossing flower petals to the floor.

It was strange how at ease she suddenly felt as she walked past all these people, but it must have been because of Phil because he was literally the only one she saw. All the others, they were just a blur as she kept her brown eyes fixated on her soon to be husband. This day was only going to get better and it could easily be added to one of the best days of her life so far.

Once Eliza had arrived at the altar, she handed her bouquet to Natasha Romanoff, whom she’d asked to come as a bridesmaid. They were friends and it had been a great pleasure to force Natasha to come. Apparently, the redhead had also dragged Clint Barton and Steve Rogers along with her. She suspected Sam Wilson had just tagged along for the hell of it, considering he was a new friend of Mr. Rogers. Eliza knew Phil must be pleased with Captain America attending his wedding; not many people could say that.

"Watch out!"

"You could have been killed!"

"Run! Hurry up, go!"

"Save yourself, I’ll hold them back."

"Leave me here! Go! Hurry! I can handle it."

"I promise I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you."

"They better not have laid a damn finger on you or I’ll [insert threat]."

"I swear, if they so much as breathe next to you, I’ll knock them out.”

"I’m not leaving you here!"

"And let you get yourself killed?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

"I don’t trust him/her. They seem off."

"I’m saying this for your own good!"

"Don’t worry. I’ll protect you."

The first week back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was always hectic. Between first years still getting used to finding their way around the school and members of the older years rushing between classrooms arranging last minute subject changes, there was little to no order in the corridors whatsoever.  And so it was little wonder that upon rounding a corner Steve collided with a fellow student, sending both of their books and parchments cascading to the floor.  "Oh, I’m so sorry!" Steve exclaimed, immediately bending down to retrieve both sets of equipment.

And when a guy bumped into her, her day was completely ruined and she was even more pissed than she had been before setting food in this corridor.

"Don't touch me stuff!" Eliza hissed at the blonde boy as she grabbed her own books, holding them tightly against her chest. "I will glue everything you have into the whomping willow if you ever touch my stuff again."

Like, 

"Don’t show fear."

"I don’t trust this guy."

"This looks bad."

"I’m a little worried but also intrigued."

"Stay calm and level headed."

"I’m kinda glad I’m in a room of Avengers."

"oh God, what is that?"

"I’m gonna regret this, aren’t I?"

"Freedom."
