Late. So very late. Charlotte thought that moving to a new city and away from her always late twin, meant she would finally be on time for something. Oh, how wrong she was. She could use her super speed, but she didn't want to draw attention to her hero side at the moment.

Rushing out of the elevator and into the lab, Charlotte walked up to the only person in the room and held out her hand.

"Dr. Banner? Hi, I'm Charlotte Allen. You're new assistant. I'm really sorry I'm late. There was...um...traffic."

The typical lie made her mentally scold herself.

Star and Bruce Fluff

Star had been working on her laptop all day. She wasn't paying attention to the time or anything else. She even accidentally ignored her husband.

She was lying on the couch when he finally decided to come bother her. She nearly dropped her laptop, but didn't fully care.

"Bruce!" She giggled.

Star didn't mean to disappear. She just meant to go on a week vacation to the Bahamas and then be back to New York to continue being a hero, but the vacation turned into retirement and the rest was history. The countless phone calls and text messages from Shield is what brought her back home.

Star was currently panicking. She was just told by Cyrus that Kai got hurt while the pack was dealing with a rouge creature. She didn't hear what it was. All she heard was that the youngest of the pack got hurt and then she stopped listening.

It was no surprise that Star had a lot of scars from her time with Hydra. They littered her body. Some were noticeable and some weren't. She wasn't ashamed of them either.

One morning, she woke up to the feeling of Bruce tracing the ones on her back.

"You'd have a good time—" Clint reassured him. He visited Bruce planning to invite him on their upcoming family trip, thinking he would probably have more trouble saying no to his face in person than to his voice over the phone, "—and, more importantly, you'd keep me from losing my mind on that cruise ship. The second they find out we're coming, they're going to plan to put on that stupid musical."

Ever since Spencer came back from the dead, she's been cooking all day long. Star felt like her brother needed a big meal to make up for missing a lot. As she walked out into the dining room to place a newly finished dish, she noticed her fiance sneaking some food.

"Is this why I'm still here?" Bruce asked with a small smile. He was worried about his friend. His best friend. "You know they expect us to work."

"You're here for a great many reasons, Brucie; most important is keeping me company, though." Tony only felt a little guilty for monopolizing his lab partner's time. Honestly, any time with Bruce was a delight.
