You let out a silent sigh as you looked down at your feet. They were dangling over the edge of the tower, about 60 stories high. You had just gotten back from the madness that was dealing with the Inhumans and you were tired.

Yet, you were restless.

Felicia was out there somewhere. She was up to something. Her father was involved somehow. You were worried, of course you were, but you also had a job to do.

You will eventually need to take her down.

Tandy: Y/N?

You looked back to find Tandy walking towards you. She wore her coat and looked ready to go. That made one of you.

She stopped a few feet away, her slight fear of tall places stopping her from looking down at the street, and held herself. It was pretty cold. Granted, it was November now.

Tandy: What are you doing up here?

You shrugged.

Y/N: Thinking. A lot has happened the last few weeks, you know?

Tandy nodded. Between getting new members, the breakout, Robbie's disappearance, and the Inhumans, no one really got to enjoy what was supposed to be a fun camp.

Hell, the camp didn't even end up happening.

You stood up and walked over to her. She watched you before you stopped in front of her. You then smiled.

Y/N: Everything will be fine, though. It always is.

Tandy smile slightly. You placed a hand under her chin and leaned down to kiss her. You didn't get to give her that date in the end. But, you could always take her somewhere nice once you get back to Burns.

Viv: Indeed.

You and Tandy pulled away from each other and found Viv standing right next to you.

Y/N: Where the fuck....

Viv: Widow requests that you speak to her before your departure.

You both stared at each other for a moment, then you smiled. You hugged her which she allowed herself to enjoy.

Y/N: Ah. You never chance, Vi.

Viv: I am still adorable?

Y/N: Always.

Tandy watched the two of you. She was happy that, even now, you were still close to everyone in the Program. This place may not feel like home anymore, but they will always be your family.
-------------
Widow: Well, I gathered who I could. Everyone else is either off on their own missions, or busy helping their groups.

You stood with the other Strikers in the living room while Widow gave her speech. Among you were some members of the Program. Like Widow said, this was everyone who was able to stop by. With everything happening, numbers were stretched thin.

To add to your confusion, the Young Avengers went back to being the Young Avengers. They now operated out of California. The X-Men were still MIA. They were doing whatever it was they were planning.

Loki: So, is this a ceremony. Can't say I was ever involved in one before.

Elsa: Yeah, well, now you're a hero. Get used to it.

Loki smirked.

Loki: Oh, I can get used to this.

Widow: You were all supposed to come here for a training camp. Instead, elements out of our control prevented that.

Laura: Yet we still manages to get three new members.

Molly: Squishy face!

Lockjaw: <Happy bark>

Kamala: This place is going to smell like dog. But at least he's a cutie. Yesh you are. Yesh you are.

The two girls started to play with the large dog, who just loved the attention.

Widow: Regardless, you all still stepped up and helped us when we needed it. So, thank you for that.

Tandy: Just doing our jobs.

Tyrone: That we don't get paid for.

Doreen: We get free housing and food.

Sam: You do? Can....can I join?

Strikers: No.

Molly: Ye-no. No.

Y/N: It was an honor. Hopefully in the future, we can run a joint mission or something.

Widow smiled.

Widow: I wouldn't be against it. Though, you all seem like you deal with much bigger threats.

Miles: And my webshooters can only do so much.

Danny: I will punch anything that stands in our way. For the Fist Bros!

Fist Bros: POOOOOOWWWWWEEEEERRRRR!!!

Everyone on your team looked at the four of you confused. Except for Laura and Wanda who just groaned.

Tyrone: Fist bros? Is that like a sex thing or...

Widow: Don't get yourself involved. Trust me.

Tyrone nodded.

Enchantress: We appreciated you hospitality during our stay.

Riri: Honestly, it was kinda cool to have you guys hanging around.

Viv: I enjoyed your company as well.

Crystal: Right. Uh, it was nice to meet you all for a single day.

Pearl: Thank you for showing me around the city.

Wanda: And sorry that we never got around to watching that play you wanted to see.

Kamala: Don't sweat it.

Danny: Besides, you had greater matters to worry about. I am still sorry about your friend.

You waved it off.

Y/N: We'll find him. I don't know how, but we will.

You looked over to see Nadia off to the side on her own. Tandy also noticed her and nudged you. She signaled for you to talk to her.

You sighed and walked over to where the young wasp was. Everyone fell into their goodbyes while you reached your friend.

Y/N: Hey.

Nadia looked up, then back down.

Nadia: Hey. So, you guys are leaving?

You nodded.

Y/N: We have a lot of work to do. But, you know you're always free to come and visit.

Nadia: I know.

She didn't sound...happy. This made you worry since you knew that she was Bi-Polar. You didn't want her to have another episode.

Y/N: Nadia. Can you at least look at me?

Nadia hesitated before she looked up.

Y/N: What's wrong?

Nadia just shook her head.

Nadia: It's...nothing.

Y/N: If it was nothing then it wouldn't be bothering you so much. You know you can talk to me.

Nadia: I....I do. That's what hurts.

You raised a brow. Then, it hit you. You knew exactly what this was. You were just like her when Felicia went on that date with Quentin.

She was hurt that you were with someone else.

You looked back to Tandy who was currently talking to Crystal and Kamala.

Nadia: She makes you happy, right?

You turned back to Nadia. You didn't want to lie to her. And you definitely didn't want to hurt her anymore.

Y/N: Yeah.

Nadia: Then you should be with her.

She looked back up and forced a smile. However, you could see the tears forming in her eyes.

Nadia: You deserve to be happy.

However, she was surpised when you suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug. You held her and she finally broke. She began to cry as everyone turned to the two of you.

Tandy smiled. She was glad that the two of you were finally able to talk.

She never wanted to be the reason your bonds were destroyed.

And she was happy that you still cared for Nadia.
-----------------
Y/N: Ah. The snow.

You all walked towards the Manor, Pearl and Crystal stopping to take in it's appearance, and gleefully took a whif the the nature air.

Oh, right. Enhanced senses. Is that why you smelt sweat?

Crystal: This is the body of a Celestial.

Wanda: Yes. Y/N here killed it. We were gifted it after we helped put a stop to the Final Host.

Pearl and Crystal looked at each other in shock and awe. This was the stuff you did?

You walked up the steps with your bag but stopped when you heard something. You turned to the others who were waiting for you to open the door.

Y/N: Uh, everyone wait out here. Except you, Laura.

She raised a brow, then she smelt it too. She quickly walked up the steps and you both entered the house. Everyone else was confused.

You and Laura looked around for a moment before you both headed up the stairs. The sounds grew and you found yourself in front of your dad's room.

You and Laura looked at each other. It smelt like it. It sounds like it.

You sighed as you knocked on the door. The sounds suddenly stopped and you heard heavy footsteps heading towards you. You looked down as the door opened, revealing your father using a blanket to cover himself.

Victor: Y/N?

Y/N: Hey, pops. Uh, we're back.

Laura looked past him and found Bobbi scrambling to get dressed.

Victor: I thought you had that camp.

Y/N: Yeah, well, a lot of stuff happened. Did you watch the news?

He had not.

Laura: So, uh, this is a thing?

Victor looked back to Bobbi who had on a pair of jeans and her bra.

Victor: I...uh....that's not your business.

Y/N: I don't even want to know. I just wanted to let you know we were back before you scared out new members.

Bobbi: You got more?

Laura: Three more, technically. Get dressed. We'll be downstairs.

You and Laura both left. Victor and Bobbi looked at each other before Victor went to get dressed.

Tyrone: Pass me a Pepsi!

Tandy tossed the soda to him which he caught effortlessly. You all sat around the fire, Tandy curled up next to you, as you all told stories and laughed.

You were tired, but restless. There was a million things going on at once and you had no way of slowing them down. Not yet, at least.

But you knew what you needed to do first.

You needed to bring Robbie home. Somehow.

But, for now at least, you were glad to be back at Burns. And as you looked at everyone around the fire, you smiled. One word came to mind.

Home.

Earth 303

Robbie leaned over his car's engine as he fixed it up with tools of the future. As he worked on it, someone walked in.

Mayday: Hey, Rob. You want some water or something?

Robbie lifted his head and smiled.

Robbie: Sure. Hey, you know when Normie is gonna be back? I kinda need to ask him for something.

Mayday shrugged.

Mayday: I dunno. But I'm about to head out on patrol soon. With Y/N still missing, someone needs to step up and be the good Spider person.

The two shared a laugh as she went back into the main room. Robbie nodded as his smile slowly faded. He set his tool down and pulled out his phone. He unlocked it and stared at the picture.

It was of him and the Strikers. He missed you all and he wanted to get back home.

But he wasn't done here yet.
