“Uh… Can you read?”

Arbor looked slightly sad and shook her head.

“No… I cannot… I am only 10 and I can’t read…”

Char was a bit surprised before sighed and tried to find something to distract Arbor.

“Uh… So how long have you been in here?”

Arbor held Ramsy close as she pondered.

“A really long time… Where is daddy?”

Char looked to Voltaire who seemingly shrugged at her.

“I don’t know… He would have found you by now… Who is your daddy?”

Arbor started to jump up and down excitedly.

“Sero! Sero! It sounds like Zero!”

Char then gulped and twitched slightly as Arbor looked at her confused.

“Are you ok?”

Char gulped again before nodding.

“Yeah… I know your daddy… We should look for him…”

Arbor nodded as Voltaire stood up and stretched.

“Let’s go you two”

Char opened the door and lets Arbor and Voltaire exit before Char followed them.

“Where does he work in this place…?”

Arbor skipped ahead as Voltaire followed, Char noticed them and followed.

“He works with the thingies!”

Char gave a confused look.

“Thingies?”

Arbor held Ramsy close to her as she nodded.

“Yeah! The shiny thingies!”

Char then realised what Arbor meant before looking around.

“Shiny thingies… So, technology…”

Arbor nodded and skipped to a sign and looked up at it.

“Uh…”

Char went over and looked at the sign and looked for the Technology section.

“This way”

Char walked to the right as Voltaire and Arbor followed.

“Wait! Lookie!”

Arbor pointed ahead before starting to run, Char looked over and saw Sero with another male.

“Daddy!”

Sero was surprised and turned around.

“Arbor! There you are!”

Sero knelt and caught Arbor and lifted her up into a hug.

“Where were you sweetie?”

Arbor giggled before pointing in Char’s direction.

“Hiding before I met them!”

Voltaire didn’t want to get involved, decided to disappear; leaving Char there on her own.

“Wait… You”

Char gave a slight grim face before turning away.

“Wait! You!”

The other male ran over to Char, making her look over to him.

“I am Thalamus! I have been looking for you!”

Char gave a confused look at Thalamus.

“Um… Hi? You were looking for me?”

Image smiled and picked up Moon who was crawling to him and Philip. "Vali is getting the agents now. And their girlfriends are here."

"How long did it take them?"

"They were both here when I walked out of the room. Vali said that he and Fenrir wanted you to ask them to Disney"

"Oh?"

"I guess it was Vali's concern and Fen wanted to be supportive.

He nodded some and followed Image out.

Image put Philip in his high chair and moon in her spot then took the others from Lies and got them set up as everyone, the whole crew walked into the room.

Lies eyed his table before using his magic to make it bigger.

Image smiled and mouthed a thank you and everyone took their seats. "Dinner is set and ready. Dig in."

The children quickly dug in.

Image made sure that Moon had some before taking some for himself then passing it to Lies and another bowl to the Agents.

Skye watched wide eyed.

"You seem confused?" Image spoke looing to the girl

"Its like...chaos.

He shrugged. "It is our chaos. and there is enough food still for all of you too."

We tend to over make our food."

"Which tonight seems to be a good thing."

"Yes." Lies nodded. "I'll have to buy more food soon..."

"We can go shopping tomorrow." Image spoke with a gentle nod. "Stock up. I had to throw a few things out today any way."

Lies winced

Image eyed lies. "Aye, I can go tomorrow and you can stay here if you would like, Not going to force any one out."

"No...I'm just imagining how much all that was worth."

"it was Milk, and cheese, some left overs we had in the fridge, the frozen food is still good."

Image nodded. "it was not to bad." He said offering a fork of food to moon who eagerly took it.

He nodded. "I'll see how much I have in my checking, you can use that for shopping tomorrow."

"I have some too." Image spoke. "I can go get the paper in the morning see if there are any coupons we can get as well."

He nodded.

Skye interjected. "I can compile some coupons for you. Call it my thanks for letting us stay."

"That would be fantastic, thank you." Image spoke with a small nod.

Skye grinned

"Ahh" Moon said wanting more food that Image fed into her mouth. "Are your rooms to your liking?"

They all nodded.

"good. and the lab room?"

"We are still putting it together." Fitz answered

"But it is enough space?"

They nodded

"very good." Image took a bite of his own food and looked to Jamie and Ro.

The girls blushed some. Lies smirked a bit into his food. "Jamie...Ro..."

"Yes?" They both responded in unison.

"Would you like to come to Disney world with us after the weddings?"

"Of course." They both answered. "One of you might have to talk to my parents." Jamie spoke, "since I am still under 18... But I have told them about you guys and they like you so I don't see a problem."

"I'll go tomorrow." Loki answered

"Thank you." She spoke nearly bouncing.

He smiled fondly

She looked at Vali. "That was the secret you were keeping from me."

Lies hid his grin

"Jerk." She whispered going back to her food.

"What brought Disney world on?" Coulson asked

"Frankly we need a vacation...not one brought on from healing."

Coulson nodded, "Understandable."

"I’ve never been to Disney, any thing really. Not even the store." Skye spoke. "But I heard it is fun. enjoy yourself."

Lies looked over to Image.

Image looked back having a feeling he knew what it was about. "Up to you."

"Actually I think its up to her commanding officer."

"Then ask."

"Ask what?" Coulson, Skye and even May all asked

"...If she can come with us."

May sighed and looked to Coulson. Coulson looked at her and Skye. "If she wants to go.... she needs access to her phone and a computer on call incase anything happens."

"Of course. Easily done."

"Then I agree to this. She needs a break, we all do. But this will keep her fresh."

"Thank you.... really"

"You are still a child by my standards Skye...and every child needs to have fun once and a while."

"Still, I never really had the chance to growing up, this means a lot."

He smiled softly

Image nodded. "It would be good to get to know you as well. One on one sort of thing."

"Aye. Especially if any of you will be spending time around my children."

"Well I will be spending a lot of time with you it seems" She smiled and swayed in her chair some.

Lies chuckled

"I’m going to Disney would Ward." She said looking to Grant

“I heard."

"I'm excited." She kept swaying.

Lies was a bit worried about the swaying but said nothing. He smiled. "You're welcome."

:She stopped moving and looked at him "Really, the thought that you would even think of me to bring along. it is amazing really."

Image smiled and gave Moon another mouth of food.

“I'm not as cruel as the invasion painted me."

"That is not what I meant." She spoke. "I have been on my own from a very young age. I was the only one who thought of me, so this team, being asked to go to Disney World. Its like being a child, having a family."

“You are practically family.  From the moment Coulson decided to spy on me." He flashed a grin at the agent.

"Which ended up bing a good thing." Coulson spoke defending himself

The grin grew. "Aye."

Image nodded in agreement. "Father?" Narvi asked from across the table. "May I be excused?"

Lies gave her a worried look but nodded

"My head it hurting is all, the bifrost does that to me." She explained taking her plate and putting it in the sink  before going to her room.

"Remember to take some willow bark." He called after her.

"Aye." She said leaving the room. Slowly the others asked to be excused.

"Fen, can you get me three bottles from the fridge? I made them today and the babies need to eat still." Image asked

Fenrir nodded and went to get them. Lies sat back in his seat, features thoughtful.

"Is all well?" Image asked with a thank you to Fenrir. he picked up Alaska and started feeding her.

He nodded. "Yes." He took up baby Phil and cradled him close as he feed him.

"I feed baby." Moon said holding her arms out expecting Adair in her arms.
