Beca went straight back to the others who were injured in Kommissar's attack. She had changed back into her other clothes on the way there, and decided she could use the grazed bullet wound and what the bear trap did to her ankle as a way to cover how the blast didn't hurt her. That way, no-one would suspect anything. She got back in time to see Theo lying on a stretcher behind an ambulance.

"Hey! You ok?" Beca checked as she limbed over to her friend.

"Yea, thanx to you" he scoffed. "You must really have a neck for wanting to play hero" he smirked.

"Well, what can I say, danger calls to me" she shrugged, making him chuckle under his breath. "You gonna be ok?"

"Yea, the doctor said I may have a concussion and something wrong with my leg, but I'll be fine" he informally stated. "How bout you?"

"I'm ok, nothing serious" Beca noted.

"How did you know that attack was coming?" he wondered.

"A tiny reflection in the laptop" she quickly answered, that was really the best excuse she could think of on the way back.

"Wow, you must have good eyesight" he responded in astonishment, making her giggle.

"Go get patched up, I'll come by and checkup on you later" she said as she backed away from the stretcher that was now being put into the ambulance.

"Ok, you too" he waved as the paramedics rolled him inside.

"Beca!" the brunette heard a most recognizable voice call her name and turned to see the pregnant redhead rushing up to her.

"Wha-Chlo" Beca worriedly complained as her wife came in for a hug. "You should not be here, this isn't healthy" she noted as she comforted her wife.

"I know, I'm sorry" she sighed as she pulled away and kept their hands entangled. "I just heard about the attack and you didn't call-"

"Ok, Ok, I'm sorry" she quickly apologized. "It's just-" she stopped from the crowd around them and then escorted Chloe inside. They stepped into the corner of the lobby, where nobody was near them or in anyway could hear them. "I was following the attacker, it was Kommissar" she informed.

Chloe seemed as if she knew they would hear from her again. "You've gotta be kidding me" she whispered.

"Nope, and she's quite the hunter too" Beca added.

"Can't say I'm surprised, where there's one, there's the other" Chloe stated.

"That makes two of us" Beca nodded.

"Was Kramer there too?" Chloe asked.

"No, he didn't show up till the end, just when I was about to finish that bitch" Beca said frustratedly.

"Well, on the brightside, maybe I can watch when you do, or do it myself" Chloe smirked.

"Now that would be interesting spouse time, I guess" Beca raised an eyebrow with an odd smirked.

"If nothing else" Chloe added, making the brunette giggle.

"But anyway, it seemed like she was acting alone" Beca noted. "But I don't think she'll make that mistake again"

"So what should we do now?" Chloe asked.

"The only thing we can do I guess" Beca replied.

"Tony?"

"Tony" Beca nodded. "But do me a favor, don't ever do this again, not in ur state" Beca pleaded.

Chloe let out a sigh through the nose, partially defiant against this but also loving Beca's caring side and knowing how worried she would get. "Ok" she gave in before receiving a kiss from her wife.

"What were you zinking? She almost had you, this all could've ended in the worst way!" Pieter angrily and frustratedly complained now that he and his sister were back in their hideout and alone.

"I had her, she got lucky" Kommissar argued.

"You got arrogant, careless, you did not sink of how badly this could've ended, for all of us" he shot back.

"I just zought I could-"

"What? Take her by yourself? You know she's too smart and too skilled for anyone to take on alone" he argued notably. Kommissar averted her gaze with silence, not knowing what else to say, now feeling ashamed and tryna get her head on straight. "Look, I know how much dis means to you, it means just as much to me" he reasoned. "But we hafta wait until da moment is right, we need to do dis together and be absolutely smart about dis" he stated informally.

Kommissar let out another, more relaxing, sigh and recollected herself. "You're right, I am sorry" she apologized with agreement.

"It's ok, just remember everything we are doing dis for and what we'll have when it is over" he reminded, receiving a reassuring smile and nod in return. "And don't worry, I won't tell Octavius about any of dis"

"I know you won't, just promise it will all happen soon" she requested.

"Very soon" he grinned.

"Well, if she was acting alone, it definitely won't happen again" Tony noted as he sat across from the two spouses at the fancy restaurant he so kindly took them to.

"Will they come back for her?" Chloe asked in concern.

"Not likely, it seems she was acting out of emotion and that this wasn't a planned attack" Tony responded. "If it was, knowing how clever Octavius is, you would've been facing the whole trilogy" he added notably.

"Likely, but the three could still want to make a move" Beca replied.

"True, but I don't think it'll be any time soon" Tony noted.

"Why's that?" Chloe asked, both her and her wife furrowing their brows.

"Well, Electro and the Sandman haven't been seen lately, despite the roll they were on" he pointed out. "Octavius may want everyone to lay low and finish making the machine before we hear from them again"

"So... what do we do until then" Beca asked.

"The only thing we can, wait" Tony responded.

"Wait?" Beca shot up an eyebrow. "For what, for them to show up again and hope we can stop them?"

"No Beca, of course not" he laughed. "Right now, we're in a race against time" he added. "I've got Pepper looking through all of her employees and we just need to wait and hope we get something beforehand" he stated.

"Do you know how long that's gonna be?" Beca asked in concern.

"Well it's a long list Beca, it'll take some time" Tony noted, but that seemed to increase Beca's worry. She even glanced at her wife and they shared the concerning expression. "Why? What's wrong guys?" Tony asked, now realizing what was up.

"It's just.... it's not gonna be much longer before Chloe's due, and we were really hoping we could get this done before that" Beca briefed, holding her wife's hand over her swollen belly.

Tony leaned further back in his seat as he understood what was troubling them and tried to figure out a better way. "I will try...my absolute best to move things faster, but it all really depends, I don't know what else to tell you" he stated sympathetically.

"Thankyou, it means a lot to us" Beca stated with a grateful nod.

"Of course" Tony nodded. "I'll do everything I can to make sure this gets done before you two officially become parents" he stated promisingly.

"We know you will" Chloe smiled. "Thanx for all of this"

"Of course" he nodded with a smile. "I've gotta go now, I have some... Avengers business that also needs taking care of" he informed. "I've already covered this whole meal so, you two can help yourselves to anything you want" he added, receiving thankyou's from both ladies. "I'll be in touch, you two take care" he slid outta the booth and began to leave.

"Thankyou" Chloe smiled.

"You too" Beca replied.

"So now we just need to wait" Chloe noted with a slight grimace.

"Yea" Beca sighed. "This is one thing I did not miss about the job"

"I know, but at least we can wait together" Chloe pointed out on a positive note, trapping the brunette's hand in her own.

"Yes" Beca giggled, receiving a peck on the cheek afterwards. "I just don't want there to be any potential dangers when our kid is born, and I wanna be the mom he or she deserves when that happens" Beca stated.

"I know, and I know you'll do everything you can to make sure of that" Chloe replied confidently. "And not that I haven't said this before, but ur gonna be a great mom, no matter how things turn out" she added with that signature loving smile of her's, making the brunette turn to her with a smile and a blush.

"I still love it that you think that and never get tired of hearing it" Beca noted with a smile, letting her wife bring her in for a sweet kiss, not caring they were in public.

"Ok, we need to go ahead and eat now because I am dying" Chloe quickly stated, making Beca laugh.

"Yea, I'm probably gonna start stuffing my face here and now" Beca nodded.

"Woah, wait a minute" Chloe said so suddenly.

"What? What is it?" Beca asked in concern.

"Uh, wow, uh" Chloe's breathing started to get heavier as one hand came up over her mouth and the other around her belly. "I think.... someone feels differently, woah man" Chloe breathed, thinking that same someone was having a disagreement, either with her excitement today or from what she had for breakfast.

"Oh no, ok, uh just nice and easy, no rush" Beca tried to remain calm as she attempted to quickly and steadily bring her wife outta the booth and escort her to the bathroom.

"Oh this little one is really pissed"

A/N: Hey readers! I know, this one was a little shorter and quicker then usual, sorry my bad. Idk why, but this one was a bit of a struggle for me. I hope it was pretty interesting nonetheless and maybe I'll come back to it if needed.

Also, I wanted to spread some news with you guys (if ur reading this later and this story is already completed then this doesn't matter now). I know my writing of this has been a little slow and I apologize for that, but hopefully that'll officially change. Idk if I ever mentioned this or some of you already know, but the entire time I've been writing this story, I've also been writing another and it's been kinda causing things to get slow going and slightly overwhelming. But now, since we're really starting to get to the good bits, I'm going to put that other story on a short little hiatus and put all of my writing efforts and attention into completing this one. It shouldn't be real long before we finish this amazing thrill ride and see the conclusion and it'll give me some time to do other things so it should be all good.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. So thankyou all so much for tagging along this amazing journey and please stay tuned for more of the amazingness that lies ahead. Please comment, vote, follow, and have a nice day/night.
