Narrator's POV

"YESSS!!!" Thor said, standing up from his seat in Tony's convertible.

They had finally reached the beach.

The thick, sticky air, the hot temperature, and the smell of the ocean made Thor's heart happy.

"This is the best day of my life!" Thor shouted. "Ow!" He howled. "Wait, second best." He said. "The best was when I first met Banner."

Bruce laughed, letting the wind run through his hair.

"Aye, you hear that Bruce?" Tony asked, smiling with his shades on as the hot summer sun rained down on them. He laughed, looking at Stephen. "Ready to show off that mankini?" He asked.

Stephen laughed. "Shut up Tony." He said, drawing Tony close for a kiss.

They pulled away.

"Ow!" Tony howled. "I love summer!" He said, speeding up toward the beach. "Yee-haw!"

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find

"Thor, please put sunscreen on!" Bruce said, with the bottle in his hand.

Thor was by the shore already with his surfboard. "Sorry can't hear you! The waves are calling me!" He shouted.

Bruce shook his head.

"Come on." Oliver said, taking Sleeper by the hand, pulling him toward the wet sand.

The two boys were wearing only their swimming trunks.

"Oliver, you're not going anywhere without sunscreen young man." Stephen said.

"But Daddyyyyy..." Oliver groaned, turning to Stephen.

"I don't want you getting burned." Stephen said, rubbing sunscreen on Oliver's cheeks.

"Yeah. Listen to Dr. Dad Oliver." Peter mocked.

"Peter you too." Stephen said.

"What?" Peter crossed his arms and made his way to Stephen. "Fine."

"Haha! Pale-"

"Wade, you as well." Stephen said.

"Haha. L seven weenie." Peter said.

"Whatever." Wade said, taking the bottle in his hand.

"Eddie." Venom said. "It's too hot." He whined, letting his tongue hang out of his mouth.

Eddie rolled his eyes and placed a large white sun hat on Venom's head. "Better?"

"Much better." Venom sighed in relief, resting on Eddie's shoulder.

"Hey boys! Is anyone up for volleyball?" Valkyrie asked holding a volleyball in her hand.

Carol stood by her side along with Wanda.

"I'm in!" Scott said, running to her.

"I'm coming." Clint said, putting in some shades.

"Count me in!" Sam said.

"Me too!" Steve said.

"Steve, are you-"

"Nope." Steve stood up from his chair.

Sam squinted his eyes at him. "Do you even need a wheelchair?" He asked.

"Nope." Steve shook his head.

"So I've just been wheeling you around in a chair for-"

"But Buck over here might." Steve pointed at Bucky, who was applying sunscreen.

"Hm?" Sam looked at him.

"Yeah, he's sick with the love bug." Steve cooed.

Bucky scoffed, rolling his eyes. He ignored the two.

"What are you-"

Steve pointed at Matt, who was sitting down in a beach chair in the shade that a large rock provided.

"Oooooooooooh." Sam said.

Steve and Sam looked at Bucky, who was just minding his own business.

"Bucky and Matt..." Steve began.

"I swear..." Bucky growled.

"Sitting on a tree..." Sam sang.

"You two are-"

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Sam and Steve cut Bucky off.

Bucky squeezed the bottle of sunscreen in his hand, he turned to the two. Death reflecting in his eyes.

"AAAHAHAHA!" Sam ran by with Steve over his shoulder.

"Get back here Wilson!" Bucky shouted. "I'm gonna beat your..."

"Oh, look at everyone enjoying themselves." Stephen told Matt, taking a seat by him.

Brice and Tony had gone to join Valkyrie and Carol in volleyball, along with Peter and Wade.

Thor was surfing.

Sleeper and Oliver were at the shore, making sand castles, running in the water every once in a while.

Who knows what Sam, Steve and Bucky were doing.

Eddie and Venom were walking along the water.

Matt and Stephen sat in the shade, enjoying the sounds of the ocean and the cool breeze in the shade.

"Do you like the ocean Matt?" Stephen asked.

"I don't know. This is my first time." Matt said.

"Really?" Stephen asked.

"Yeah. We didn't go out much, my old man and me." Matt said. "After he passed I was training all the time." He said. "Then I was busy with school and forming a lawyers agency with my friend Foggy." Matt said. "It's pleasant so far, except for the sand." He said.

"Oh, yeah." Stephen agreed. "It gets everywhere."

"Daddy! Daddy!" Oliver called, coming with a small bucket in his hands.

Sleeper followed behind him.

"What is it?" Stephen asked.

"Look what we found." Oliver said, showing Stephen what was in the bucket.

Inside the bucket was a tiny crab and a sand dollar.

"Oh, a baby crab." Stephen said.

"Isn't cool?" Sleeper asked.

"Very." Stephen said. "Now go return them I'm sure their mothers are very worried about them." Stephen said.

"Well actually crabs never meet this mothers." Oliver said. "They're left to hatch on their own and survive in the ocean by themselves, but I'll put him back since he probably misses the ocean." Oliver said, walking away with Sleeper.

"How old is he?" Matt asked.

"He's eleven." Stephen said.

"And what grade is he in?"

"He's in high school with Peter." Stephen said. "I know, it sounds funny but he really is that advanced."

Matt laughed. "Sounds like it."

"I used to have a lobster when I was younger, you see." Thor explained to Oliver and Sleeper as the three made their way from the water toward the group.

It was time to eat.

The stars began to appear in the sky.

"I think my dads told me about that." Oliver said. "They said his name was Alfonso, Alberto..." Oliver tried to remember.

"Robert." Thor said. "His name was Robert. Bestest, bravest lobster you would've had the privilege of knowing. Really sweet too." Thor said.

"Did he pinch?" Sleeper asked.

"Only the people the he liked. They were love pinches." Thor said. "I remember this one time I tried to set him free in the ocean..."

"Come and get some!" Thor said, standing behind a rather large grill. He was wearing an apron that read "kiss the cook".

"What have you got?" Bruce asked, coming up to him.

"I've got plenty." Thor said. "There's hot dogs, burgers, sausages, ribs. You name it." He said.

Scott came up to the grill. "Can I get a burger?"

"Of course you can!" Thor said, getting one for him.

Bruce stood behind Clint, watching silently as Thor flipped the burger. "Can I have a slice of you?" He whispered to himself.

"Well that fun, wasn't it?" Tony asked, putting stuff back in the car.

It was dark already, and they were all headed back to the next hotel.

"Sure was." Stephen said.

"Hey, Tony." Valkyrie called.

Tony turned to her.

"We're gonna go on ahead." She said. "The boys and Carol are all burnt out on energy." She said, pointing at Wade and Peter passed out in the back.

Carol was asleep in the passenger seat.

"That's fine!" Tony told her. "We'll see you back at the hotel."

With that, Valkyrie and her group was gone.

"Had fun?" Bruce asked Thor.

"Yup." Thor said. "I made a new friend." He said.

"New friend?" Bruce asked.

"Yes." Thor said. "Meet Tom." He pulled out a horseshoe crab from behind him. "I found him fighting for his life against some fish."

"Uuuhhhh..." Bruce looked at him.

"I saved him." Thor asked.

"Would you rather pick a different friend?" Bruce asked, looking at the crab.

"Bruce, it was Tom or another lobster." Thor said.

"Take the lobster." Tony said.

Stephen looked at him.

"I knew it." Thor smiled at Tony.

Not only did Thor go back to the hotel with wonderful beach memories, but also a new pet lobster.

"Oliver." Sleeper said.

"What?" Oliver whispered.

The two were under a fort they had built in the Brock's hotel room.

"The flashlight is dead." Sleeper said.

"Don't worry." Oliver smiled.

He made yellow sparks form at his hands and float around the blanket fort.

It was a beautiful sight to see.

"Cool, no?" Oliver asked.

"Very." Sleeper said looking around breathlessly.
