I can’t wait for the verbal ass whooping Arranged!Bruce is gonna get from Alfred. I just know it’ll be brutal AND sassy

"Sir," Alfred drawled, "Where, may I ask, is your wife?"

Bruce doesn't look up from his plate. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he still believes he can't get caught it he doesn't make eye contact. "Visiting her aunt," Bruce mumbled.

Of course you weren't. You'd texted him, stating that things were handled. Not saying anything more. Not responding to his inquiry about how you were doing.

Alfred made a soft disbelieving sound and Bruce cringed, realizing, as he always did, a fraction of a second too late that he get himself away. But he didn't want to talk about it. He didn't want to consider how he felt about things. No, he wasn't ready to be a parent. And no, he didn't have any urge to give you more reasons to be miserable in a life you had no say in. But that didn't mean that somewhere in the back of his mind... he'd been happy about it.

'What did you do?" Alfred sighed.

"I- it's a long story," Bruce mumbled.

"Then I suggest," Alfred said pouring himself a cup of coffee, "that you start at the beginning. Because you know her family will never believe she's visiting an aunt."

Bruce winced. "They will for a day or two-"

Alfred's eyes narrowed, "Please tell me you didn't do what I think you did-"

"It wasn't supposed to-"

"What in the bloody hell is wrong with you?" he hissed. "You seduced her as fucking Batman?"

"I didn't- I just. I- she was coming home from a party and I was on patrol and-"

"So she never should have been out alone!" Alfred said, "She spent her entire life with fucking bodyguards!"

"I wanted to know what she knew-"

"So you rescued her, manipulated her into talking and then-"

"I told her the truth," he said shrinking. "She thought she was cheating and she was panicking and-"

"Panicking about what?" Alfred asked, saying an internal prayer for patience. And promising himself to be much, much kinder to you. He'd assumed you were quiet, frazzled, and stressed because there wasn't someone standing over your shoulder to tell you what to do. He never imagined you'd been thrust into a circle of hell.

"She found out she was pregnant-"

"You have shark repellant and not a condom?" he yelped.

"She's not anymore," he muttered, pushing his plate away.

And Alfred watched him, rubbing his forehead. "God that poor girl," he sighed. "Reading her journal wasn't enough?"

Bruce looked up slightly and Alfred smiled ruefully. "When she arrived she asked me for two things; to clean her own room and for no one to enter without her express permission. About three weeks ago she stopped caring- I thought at first the novelty wore off but, she stopped bothering to tuck anything away."

"I wondered how she caught me-"

"Either a strand of hair or a very particular arrangement," Alfred snorted. "She's not stupid. I didn't even know she as meeting anyone."

Had this elaborate weird GoW dream where I was arranged to marry Týr, then helped him in his plans but had to erase my memories of it all to keep me safe in case Odin managed to capture me.

Imagine Týr working with one of the Giants to use a combination of Aesir, Vanir, and Giant magic to prevent Odin from easily figuring out how to unravel the spell. But this goes VERY wrong, maybe due to Odin or his allies/minions interrupting the spell. Týr's s/o now has no memories at all, with just vague intuition and flashes here and there when she sees or hears something or someone familiar. Týr is kidnapped but manages to send his beloved somewhere secret while they're unconscious.

They don't know where they are or who they are, but they manage to remember little bits over time after coming across the Giant prophecies and statues of the gods. They knew Týr, and they think they were very close with each other. And when Odin finds them years later, they're still not entirely all there. But with Týr imprisoned, Odin takes on his form and--once Kratos and Atreus "rescue" him--he insists on finding his beloved so they can't fall into Odin's clutches.

Kratos and Atreus manage to find Týr's amnesiac s/o, and when they all return to Sindri's home, s/o can't help but feel strange about reuniting with their husband. They hoped they'd get their memories back entirely after seeing him again, and while some DO come back it isn't that clear. He's very kind and warm to them, but whenever he talks to them or touches them...something feels off about it. Would the Týr in their scattered memories really say or do something like this?

Tyr admits he'd changed drastically due to the trauma he endured as Odin's prisoner. But he's so happy to finally be with them again. He spent so many years worrying about his beloved, hoping he was able to keep them safe and far from Odin. And now, they're together again! With his and his allies' help, their memories (and secrets) can definitely be restored somehow.

I'm just imagining the fucked up aspect of Odin disguised as Týr using his son's wife to try and find out what Týr's been hiding. And at first it's just a strategy to get what he wants, but a part of him (a part he would call "soft" and "sentimental") would enjoy having a wife again. And this one's much more compliant and trusting thanks to their amnesia and dependence on him to get their memories back; plus, they're a good fighter, and knowledgable of some magic and other things not even he knew about. Týr must've inherited his father's attraction to intelligence, among other things. Odin has no doubt that Týr's s/o taught things to Týr the same way his Frigg taught him, but unlike Frigg, Týr's wife couldn't betray him.

Hm. His main priority is getting the mask, but enjoying a happy marriage/do-over courtship for the first time in years is a nice bonus. He keeps finding ways that they remind him of his great love Fjörgyn. Despite his hatred for the Giants, he loved her more than anyone in the Realms; and despite how much he hates Týr for betraying him worse than a son ever should betray his family, his wife is so loyal. That kind of love is a precious thing, and if the real Týr can't experience it, then Odin is happy to do so in his place. It's an extra punishment to his traitorous son on top of everything else.

Also: Brok finds all the affection and cutesy glances and all form of romantic shit on Tyr's part to be vomitous and overly sappy. The fuckin god of war better not bang up him and Sindri's broom closet too bad, but it's not like there's any other place Tyr and his memoryless wife can get up to anything alone. Hell, how d'you give a lady some of your branch when you're the size of a whole fuckin' tree? Freya better know some spells on how to heal a broken pelvis, assuming Tyr isn't as cowardly and peckerless as he acts around the others. Brok just reckons he's lucky most of HIS lady friends were always taller than him, as opposed to the other way round.

#like on a scale of 1-10 of fucked up shit odin's done #where do you put 'assumed his sons identity and seduces his amnesiac daughter in law'#and 'is partially attracted to how (among other things) theyre reliant on him due to their memory loss'#.god of war #yandere god of war #.odin #yandere odin #tw: dubcon #.myshit

prince joshua au

masterlist

you loved your job more than anything,, serving the king and his family as a knight, was an honor that wasn't bestowed upon many so you considered yourself lucky

the king was looking for a husband for his wonderful daughter,, and she had rejected so many princes

the king had then called on to some palm readers and soothsayers that had said that the ‘prince’ destined to be his daughter's husband is currently trapped in a tower

the king did more research and came in contact with a small country, who's king and queen had died and their own child, the prince, was locked in a tower guarded by a dragon

the king then appointed you to find the tower, rescue the prince who would marry the princess as a sign of gratitude and they could rule the smaller country together

you agreed obviously

you were cheered on by everyone as you embarked on the journey, alone, with nothing but your horse to listen to your mindless chatter

and honestly, everything was going well like the trip wasn't too tough it was just really long

when you finally reached the castle, instead of causing a scene and all to you know ‘slay the dragon’ you simply found a back way to get up to the tower

you opened the door and then you heard someone singing, “prince joshua?” you called out and the singing stopped

then you came across one of the most handsome men you had ever seen,,, he had black hair, the face of a Greek god with well toned arms and hE LOOKED MORE LIKE A KNIGHT THAN YOU DID??

“are you here to rescue me?” he asked, nonchalantly, as he flipped open a book.

“yes!” you answered, in an unusually chirpy tone.

“cool– get out of here right now because I'm not going anywhere,” he told you quite bluntly

and you were like ??? this mf I crossed half the fuckin land but this ungrateful bitch eye

“i'm sorry,,, but don't you think that I would be rather capable of escaping this shit hole if wanted too?” he hissed. “but I don't– because I don't want to escape and I don't need anyone's help either.”

“prince joshua, I understand what you mean,,, but the princess is waiting to marry you!” you replied.

“oh great– another stuck up princess who wants to marry me.”

“actually,, our princess is great. she's an absolute sweetheart and she's one of the finest bachelorettes in the country,” you explained.

“then why has she rejected,,, fifty other princes and wants to go after the one trapped in a tower?” he deadpanned.

“because–the palm reader said so,,, but this isn't important–”

“i don't need your princess– so just go away,” he told you.

after thinking for several minutes, you came up with a solution

“look how about this? you come back with me, meet the princess and if you like her you can marry her, if you don't, well– I'll help you escape back to this tower,” you suggested, finally catching his attention.

“how do I know you'll keep your word?” joshua asked, setting his book down.

“i am a knight, sir, loyalty is one of the few idiosyncrasies we can offer.”

“alright then,, I trust you– you better not let me down,,” joshua spoke as he grabbed a backpack with all of his belongings.

you used the same way to avoid the dragon and started on with your journey

at first,,, you truly thought joshua was some stuck-up prince but the more you spent time with him,, the more you realized that joshua was literally a gentleman who would be the perfect ruler of the country

he acted like an asshole before because he was sick and tired of people trying to rescue him and take all the glory

you understood his anger and ever since then joshua had been so sweet,,,

joshua wouldn't let you carry his bag, he'd make sure you were getting enough rest during the journey and one day he even offered to keep an eye out so that you could sleep

you on the other hand, taught joshua on how to light a fire etc and even some basic etiquettes,, cause I mean even if he was a prince he was trapped in a tower for so long

one time, you guys had stopped to stay by the river for the night and soon it was early morning and you woke up and saw joshua wasn't near you??

sO YOU PANICKED BEC OBVIOUSLY DID HE JUST RUN OFF BECAUSE IF HE DID THAT MF WAS IN FOR A RIDE

and you immediately ran around the place only to find him in the river,, waist deep into the water, except– he was half naked??

and boi where you shocked

cause joshua was so damn gorgeous

his perfectly chiseled jawline with that broad chest of his, his adam's apple poking out, his abs, his arms, his wet hair jUST HIM???

FUCKING MALFUNCTIONING

AND YOU WERE SO RED SO YOU JUST RAN BACK TO STOP YOUR HEART FROM RACING AND PRAYED THAT JOSHUA DIDNT SEE YOU BECAUSE JSJXJSISJSKSK HES SO HOT

you were lucky, because he didn't bring it up so you assumed he never noticed you standing there and gawking at him lmao

but all in all, you had fun with joshua he always managed to make you laugh but you could always have those late night talks with him

like when he asked you why you became a knight ,,,,,

“well, as a kid, when the knights would come back from winning the battle and the streets would be lined up with roses and people cheering from them, I knew at that point that, that was who I wanted to be.”

and he was like wow you're so cool omfg

also joshua gets impressed every time you hold your sword

HIS EYES LITERALLY LIGHT UP

he says he wants to learn how to use a sword too because he's a prince but he's really scared

you: josh hold my sword, it's literally not gonna do anything just hoLD IT

josh: wHAT IF IT FALLS ON MY FOOT AND SLICES IT OFF

and you were like I think staying in the tower for too long has lowered your IQ level

but you also told Josh that if he didn't like holding a sword, then he doesn't have to, because you were there to protect him with your life

and you didn't realize but Joshua was looking at you with HEART EYES

soon enough, reached the palace and you were kinda upset that you know joshua had to go and well,,, get married and part of you really wished it wouldn't work out

because you had bonded with him so well you just ,,,,, started liking him and it broke your heart knowing you couldn't have him

besides, he didn't reciprocate anything either so it'd be useless to even imagine

but when you told the king and queen and they met joshua

they were like ??? you didn't get the message??

and you were like what message??

“the princess already found someone she liked and she's getting married in like a month–?”

and you were pissed more than you were happy

not because all this effort was for nothing but the fact that poor joshua,,, he might have been looking forward to this

so you talked to the king and queen and they said that joshua should go back to his country now

you left the room and started crying because you felt as if it was all your fault

“hey, are you okay?” you heard a voice behind you say,,,,, it was joshua

you wiped your tears, “y-yeah I'm good,” you managed to choke out.

and before you could leave, joshua wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into his chest, where you broke down and told him everything

you especially kept on apologizing to him and said that you'd make everything right and even find him a princess if you have too

“its okay if the princess doesn't want to marry me,,,, cause I found my princess right here,” he cooed and you chuckled because he was so cheesy,, typical Joshua

“but still josh, I'll take you back to the tower and all,” you told him

“nope, no need too– I need to go back to my country and look after my people as well, I've done enough damage as it is.”

“right”

“are you going to come with me if I go?” he asked, hoping you'd say yes

“I'm a knight, i can't leave the country....” you answered.

and then Josh was like okay hollup I'll talk to the king and the queen

and boi went into the room where the king and queen were while you waited outside and they called you inside eventually

and the king and queen were like,, “we would like you to resign,,, so you can marry joshua and go rule his country.”

and you were like ??????HOW DID HE SWEET TALK THEM INTO THIS EYE

the king and queen said they'd like to give you an official good bye if you could stay for another two to three days and you and Josh agreed

Josh had to stay in one of the palace rooms

and it was 7am you were going to talk to joshua about something very important and you knocked and opened his room door

anD HE WAS STANDING WITHOUT A SHIRT

“o-oh my god,,,, IM SO SORRY!” you yelled, as you covered your eyes and bowed profusely

and Joshua chuckled, as he walked towards you, removing your hands from your eyes, eventually pining you against the door,,,

“darling– don't like act like this is the first time you've seen me naked,,,,, we both know you've been quite scandalous.”

Summary: Katie prepares for a night out with the girls but is distracted by a certain roommate...

- Scroll to the bottom for bonus text message between Katie & Jenny -

Find Part One here.

Part Two -

When Friday evening swiftly arrives, Katie tried to distract herself from the excitement building within by throwing herself into her love of cooking and creating an overly elaborate meal for the boy's dinner. While they don't particularly need a full roast dinner with all the trimmings, she's in far too good a mood to care. As is usually the norm when she cooks dinner, the boys sit at the counter half watching - half playing, keen to be around her as much as possible.

There's a certain calm which they feel when they're with her, safe and warm. They'd spent so much time bounced between family, babysitters and tutors over the last few years they relished the opportunity to be around someone so steady and secure, plus she just effortlessly understood them and knew how to put their needs first.

"Suck it Mason!"

Mickey's cheer startles her from her culinary daze as he slams down the last of the cards in his hand with vigour, winning the nail-biting game of snap the boys are playing.

"Mickey, language...please."

Katie glares at him to show that she's serious but can't completely stifle the grin underneath, threatening to give away the fact that she's humoured by the intensity of their game.

Of the twins, Mickey has always been the most energetic and animated, he rarely holds anything back and doesn't take any prisoners. Mason on the other hand is a much more sensitive soul, wise beyond his seven years and far more observant about the world around him. They're a real split of Sam's personality and a constant reminder of all the things she loves about him.

Before Mickey can apologise, the elevator dings sparking confusion in the kitchen. Katie pulls her phone out of her jeans back pocket to check the time. 5 o'clock on the dot. Equally puzzled and completely in sync with one another, the boys hold a ceasefire in their game as they all turn to look to the hallway waiting to catch a glimpse of the intruder.

Her heart flips as Sam saunters into the room, eyes sparkling and a wide smile already on his face as he takes in the scene before him. He couldn't remember the last time he'd made it home this early, but something had changed recently, something which made him long to be at home, long to play with his boys, long to live a little. And then he locked eyes on that something. Katie.

"Well if it isn't my three-favourite people."

The sincerity in his voice paired with the adoring look he gives is enough to make Katie's knees go weak. The boys are clearly oblivious to the fact that his fiancé should probably be above her on his list of favourite people but in that moment she's happy to take the compliment, nonetheless.

"What are you doing home so early?"

Sam makes his way over to the kitchen, ruffling the boy’s hair before slipping casually onto the bar stool next to Mickey. The boys in return beam at him, revelling in the novelty of having two grown-ups to shower them with attention.

"You didn't think I'd forget your big night out, did you? I wanted to make sure you had plenty of time to get yourself ready without having to chase these two clowns around."

He winks at her before turning back to the boys. Mason throws Sam a look of mock offence at being labelled a clown, Mickey on the other hand smiles proudly, totally owning it.

After putting the boys to bed, Sam settles himself in the living area, pacing around unable to stay still. Nervous energy tingles through his veins as he waits impatiently for Katie to emerge, already letting his mind run away with the less than innocent images of her in his head of how she'll look when she appears.

Nothing could've prepared him for what he was about to see as she emerged like a butterfly from its cocoon, transformed.

With the wind knocked out of him, his eyes trail over her capturing every detail to recall later. He admires her delicate curves wrapped in a form fitting deep blue sequinned mini dress, so dark it almost looks black until it catches the light and a blue hue shimmers, just like when the moon hits the sea on a clear night. He immediately wishes he could trail his hands along the flimsy spaghetti straps falling gently over her shoulders, crossing over her back revealing the barely-there rear of the dress.

As she confidently flicks her golden blonde hair it smoothly drips over her shoulders like honey, long soft curls bouncing just below her breasts. Her sweeping fringe ever so slightly obscuring her intoxicating blue eyes which sparkle back at him full of conviction.

The whole look gives her an air of unfaltering confidence which he's never seen on her before. This may be the most turned on he's ever been from just looking at her, so much so that his hands seek refuge in his pockets, untrusted not to grab her at the first opportunity.

"Wow, you look incredible!" He throws her a mischievous smile and continues, "If I'd known you'd look this good I wouldn't have been so eager for you to have the night off!"

Noticing the fire in his eyes, she feels conflicted as she allows herself to imagine what might happen if she were to stay at home tonight. The air crackles between them as they hold each other's gaze a little longer than they should.

"Thank you, I'd forgotten how much I like dressing up and looking good!"

The fire in his eyes extinguishes and leaves behind warm sincerity, a small smile crosses his lips as he finally builds the courage to move closer.

"You always look good. I'm particularly fond of your jeans and t-shirt look, but yes, this look..."

Unable to finish, the fire returns to his eyes as they're drawn down to her legs which seem to go on for days, the delicate sequinned dress barely falling past her upper thighs. The intensity of his gaze thrills her.

Taking as much strength as it would to pull two magnets apart, she finally steps away to grab her purse. Ever the gentleman, Sam picks up her jacket holding it out for her. Unable to resist, he takes the opportunity to lean into the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent. She smells like a breath of fresh summer air, flowers and sweetness dancing in the breeze.

Her spine tingles as his lips graze her neck and his fingers gently fondling soft tendrils of her hair to move them out of the way. His whispered words make the hairs on her skin stand to attention.

"God, I wish you were mine tonight, you don't know what you're doing to me."

The indignant ring of the penthouse intercom breaks the spell they find themselves in and she begrudgingly steps away exhaling shakily.

"That'll be my cab."

He watches her sashay over to the elevator, the sway of her hips captivating him once again. Slowly she turns to face him, winking wickedly as the doors are almost closed.

"Don't wait up."

The Girl Out of Time

Pairing: Bucky x Reader & Sam x Reader

Rating: Story will be overall MATURE but not every chapter. There will be strong language, talk of both mental and physical abuse, some good ole angst, and some eventual smut once the story reaches that point.

Chapter 7

Once we arrived back to the Triskelion or S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters Steve told me to meet him at his bike while he went to talk to Fury. I already knew Steve wasn't happy with the way things went on the mission. Something about Nat having her own mission which Steve thought jeopardized all of us.

I made my way down to the parking area going straight to where Steve had left his bike. I halfway sat on the bike as I pulled my phone out to pass the time. With the help of the small gadget it felt like it had only been a few minutes when Steve came walking up to me. He had a serious look on his face telling me the chat didn't go as he wanted it to.

"How'd it go?" I asked moving out of the way so he could start the bike.

"Not how I wanted it to." He grumbled.

I climbed on the bike behind him wrapping my arms around his waist. He pulled out of the garage and into the bright sun.

"What did he say?" I asked leaning forward against his back.

"A lot of nonsense. Then showed me his new project." He sounded irritated.

I stayed quiet as I enjoyed the ride. I use to be terrified of this thing. I had never been on one before but it wasn't hard for Steve to talk me into it.

"Where are we going?" I asked him once I noticed we passed the street our apartment was on.

"You'll see" was all he said.

I watched the road and area around us for any clues as to where we were going. He turned onto one of the main streets. The one that had most of the museums on it. He pulled over into a parking spot then shut the bike off.

"What are we doing here?" I asked as I climbed off the bike.

"Thought it was time I showed you this exhibit." Steve smiled.

As soon as we walked inside I saw a huge sign that pointed in the direction of Captain America and the Howling Commandos. Steve grabbed my hand pulling me behind him as we followed the sign's directions.

It felt like my breath was knocked out of me as we walked inside the exhibit. It was like a giant shrine to my best friend. He pulled me over to one wall. He pointed down at the large pedestal that had a photograph and some writing on it. I stepped closer to see a photo I didn't know existed. Steve was standing to the side in the middle of a laugh. I was thrown over the shoulder of the man I had forgotten. James Barnes. Both boys were laughing as I looked to be trying to smack James.

The words below the photo read: "In Steve Rogers' early years he spent most of his time with his childhood best friends James Barnes and Willow Roffe. This photo was taken only a month before both James and Steve enlisted. The trio can be seen in the midst of laughter. No thought of what would come to happen to them."

I lightly ran my fingers over the glass the photo was secured behind. How can I still not remember these small moments?

Steve gently pulled me by my hand to another area. This one was about James.

"James Buchanan Barnes. Inseparable with Steve Rogers both in childhood and on the battle field. He was the only Howling Commando to give his life."

I looked up to the large mural they had on the wall dedicated to James Barnes. He was very handsome. There was something else that seemed to shine in his eyes. Something I couldn't figure out.

Once again Steve pulled me away. This time to a small area set near the back of the room. I gasped at the sight when I fully took it in. There was a section of the wall that had a good size photo of me. That photo was surrounded by smaller ones of me with Steve and James and even my sisters.

"Willow Roffe, childhood friend of Steve Rogers and James Barnes. She was known by her friends as an excitable, courageous, and kind person. Her sisters saw her as their own personal hero for all the times she stood up for them against their father. What makes her interesting is only one year after both Steve Rogers and James Barnes were declared dead she went missing never to be seen or heard from again."

I stared at the photos and the words. I'm in a museum. This is the weirdest day of my life. Steve continued to show me each part of the exhibit and explain things to me. We even sat and watched the little documentary video they had playing. It was an incredible eye opening experience but I still had no memories of James.

After we finished taking in all of the exhibit Steve said he had to go see someone so I had him drop me off near the apartment. He said he'd call when he was done. I decided to take in the scenes around me. D.C. really was a beautiful place.

When Steve did call me he said he wanted to stop by the VA. I was standing outside of the VA when he had said it. I looked up at the building laughing to myself then told him I'd meet him there.

We walked inside immediately going to the young woman behind a desk.

"Hi, how can I help you?" She asked with a large smile.

"Would you happen to know where I can find Sam Wilson?" Steve asked with all the charm he didn't know he had.

"Of course, right threw those doors. Go straight back. Last door on the right it should be open."

We both nodded and said thank you heading in the direction she had pointed. I could hear voices at the end of the hall. We stopped outside of the open door. I realized then that it was like an anonymous counseling for veterans. I stood and listened to the woman talking about a plastic bag she had swerved to miss in the road. Then Sam spoke from his spot at the podium. He seemed to know exactly what to say. Something about him was tugging at my heart strings. He dismissed everyone.

Steve and I waited outside for him to finish chatting with a few of the stragglers.

"Look who it is. The running man and his pretty lady friend." Sam smiled at me.

"Caught the last few minutes. Pretty intense." Steve said gesturing to the now empty room.

"Yeah brother, we all have the same problems. Guilt, regret." Sam explained.

"You loose someone?" Steve asked him.

"My wingman. Riley. Flying a night mission. Standard PJ rescue Op nothing we hasn't done a thousand times before until an RPG knocked Riley's dumbass out of the sky. Nothing I could do. It's like I was up there just to watch."

I could see the emotion Sam was trying to hold back. I wanted to hug him. To do something for him.

"I'm sorry" Steve said quietly clearly understanding how Sam felt.

"I couldn't imagine." I almost whispered unsure if I should even comment.

"After that I had a really hard time finding a reason for being over there." Sam added.

"Are you happy now? Back in the world?" Steve asked him.

"The number of people giving me orders is down to about zero. So, hell yeah. You thinking about getting out?" Sam asked making me look over to Steve.

He shook his head.

"No" then he paused looking unsure.

"I don't know." Steve said looking only a little confused.

He scratched the back of his neck.

"To be honest, I don't know what I'd do with myself if I did." Steve chuckled lightly.

"Get a girlfriend" I stated.

"Ultimate Fighting" Sam suggested.

Both Sam and I laughed at our own answers. Steve shook his head again and laughed.

"Just some great ideas off the top of our heads." Sam's smile was large as he glanced at me.

"Seriously, you could do whatever you want to do. What makes you happy?" Same asked crossing his arms.

Steve looked to be thinking for a moment before he answered.

"I don't know."
