It was the first winter since everything had happened. There wasn’t even a name for it, just that everything had changed in one day. People showed their true colours, it was a dog eat dog world yet somehow animals seemed more humane. Paul couldn’t quite explain how it ended up being he and Lola on the road together. It was them from the very beginning, attempting to find their families. It was what they had going together, what they had to hold onto just an inkling of faith.

He had made the fire in the living room having blocked the doors and windows so no light could go through. There would be smoke out of the chimney but it was a risk they had to take to not freeze. They had a duvet over both of them, wrapped up in ill-fitting jumpers and and jackets they had found along the way but he still saw the way she shivered.

“You still cold?” He asked, breaking the silence between them.

“That’s not what I said, I...”

Natalia paused mid sentence and shut her mouth. She knew what she was about to say, and knew she couldn’t return the words he wanted to because she’d been lying for the better half of the year.

It hadn’t been her idea. Fury had been the one to suggest getting her claws in to work the monster within Banner, even after she promised she wasn’t that type of spy anymore. Not after learning Bruce’s deepest secrets and learning about him during their first years together as friends. It made it that more painful when it came out. 

All of it. The lies, the pretending, the job she’d been given to better benefit the team; it sounded perfect, having the Hulk in her hands whenever he was needed while still controlling all of his fury -- how was she supposed to do it forever!

“I didn’t want this!” she finally shouted, feeling the hot tears brew up in her eyes as her own guilt started to consume her. “I didn’t want to this to happen, Fury...Fury made me and I tried to stop it, and stop you from -- I’m sorry!”

“Is that…?”

Isobel had been alongside a mutual friend over a glass of wine. It was some charity event, and considering the expanse of expensive food and drinks, her donation clearly hadn’t gone to the fun in need, but she couldn’t turn down the event at risk of her reputation. She’d chosen to keep more towards the back and only stay an hour or so just to say she was there, but when her eyes set on the famous billionaire, the model couldn’t help herself.

She’d seen him before during one of her shows. It had been meant for getting a footing in the fashion scene for the agency, but only famous celebrities rather than designers had made in for an appearance – she’d remembered Bruce Wayne specifically because he looked like the only one completely uninterested.

It didn’t appear much different this time around. He stood alone and looked just as she did as if they were both forced to be there against their will.

Perhaps it would make for an interesting conversation, she figured, as she started walking closer and dodging the looks from various standby strangers passing by.

“Mr Wayne,” she said, hoping to approach with kind intent and her charming smile.

The Professor shook his head, before looking around at their surroundings. He could hear a group of people approach them. “No. There’s always another way.”

“did you miss me?” mace asked, kissing along his jaw. she’d strutted right in and curled up in his lap like she hadn’t just shown up out of the blue. she knew she wasn’t supposed to do this - part of the agreement was that she would only come when he told her to - but she’d just been so bored and he was the easiest of her daddy’s to get to. “i missed you...” she purred into his ear, snuggling her body closer to his. she’d purposely worn her shortest dress and tiniest underwear in hopes that she’d be too sexy for him to resist. “do you want me to leave?” mace pouted slightly and batted her eyelashes at him. giving him a look that he couldn’t possibly say no to.
