Firm 'Discussions'
«Laufeyson Apartment»
Kara places her bag down with emphasis, already knowing a firm discussion had to be had about the nights events. She sits down heavily on the leather couch, feet up on the arms.
"This cannot become a regular thing" Loki spoke firmly as he waltzed into the room, taking his black trench coat off and resting it beside him, sitting on the coffee table opposite to Kara.
"It won't Dad, I promise-"
"That is what you said last time. Your powers are not an excuse to behave in this manner"
"We were just having fun! We didn't know it was trespassing!"
"Regardless, you are more intelligent than that, Kara, you cannot put you and your friends at unnecessary risk. Could you imagine if the police had seen you practicing magic?"
"Dad it was an honest mistake. Casiel made sure none of us used our powers in front of the mortals" Kara frowned.
"Look, sweetheart," Loki sat beside Kara, resting his arm around her shoulders, comforting. "I am not doing this to be unfair. Neither is Cassiel. We are trying to protect you"
"I know, I know, I know" Kara rolled her eyes. She'd heard the same line time and time again.
"Don't roll your eyes at me" He spoke firmly.
"Sorry, Dad. Goodnight" She pecked his cheek and walked towards her room, feet dragging against the oak wood floorboards.
"Goodnight my love" Loki called, opening his book to chapter 34.

"I'm all about you having fun young lady but this was straight up irresponsible, just like the last few times" Steve paced around the living room, features contorted with a frown. Rachel tilted her head innocently. "Don't try that puppy eyes on me"
"Father, I'm sorry, I really am" She sighed. "If it makes you feel any better, I didn't assist breaking out of the cell-"
"No you didn't, but you lied to me. You told me you were going to Morgan's to study"
"It's the first day back, surely you saw a plot hole there" Rachel snickered.
"Princess, this is serious. Luckily Stark had a chat with the officers and sorted everything, but he can't do that every time."
"I know Dad" she sighed, disinterested.
"Wash up and go to sleep, it's already very late." Rachel embraced him wordlessly, retreating to her bathroom.

"You could've been injured! Hurt!" Pepper fretted.
"So you blew up their systems-?"
"Tony!" Pepper growled.
Every since he had been brought back, Tony was a much calmer Father than should be physically possible.
Pepper wasn't a fan of his laisezz-faire approach.
"Do not encourage this behaviour-"
"Relax Pep, she's safe. She's home" Tony spoke, winking at Morgan. She giggled, Pepper sighed loudly.
"We're having this discussion tomorrow. I'm too tired" She waltzed upstairs, grumpy.
"Why'd you do it?" Tony questioned.
"They're my best friends, I wanted to be with them"
"That I can understand," he chuckled, "however your Mom is right. It was reckless and irresponsible, you can't do things like that-"
"Dad, I had Friday, I was fine."
"Friday can only do so much" Tony sighed, resting his hand on Morgan's shoulder. "I understand because I was a lot like you, but look where it got me-"
"Dad you saved the world more than once, how could I not look up to-"
"I saved this world so you could live in it, safely. I lost my life and was brought back. My second chance. Don't throw away what you have, love."
Morgan considered her Father's words, standing up and hugging him.
"I love you 3000, Dad."
"I love you 3000 baby."

"You did what!!" Bucky yelled. But it wasn't anger or rage. Luke was almost startled. "That's hilarious"
"Me catching fire and burning a car was hilarious?" Luke laughed also, head tilted.
"I adopted such an awesome kid. I knew that avengers academy would be beneficial" Bucky giggled playfully, causing Luke to widen his pristine smile. Bucky's face became stern however as he spoke soon after. "Now buddy, I know you have these gifts but...what you all did was dangerous, please don't ever do it again. If you are, tell me. I want to know my son is safe and not locked up in some prison cell."
"I will Dad, I'm sorry about this. I'm not a problematic person I just-"
"You don't need explain buddy, I understand" Bucky pats him on the shoulder softly, standing up. Luke stands and hugs Bucky tightly, causing him to tense before hugging back.
"Sleep well, Dad"
"You too kiddo."

Casiel nervously shuffled into the living room wordlessly. Her Dad, clearly exhausted, sits down on the couch, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"Dad I-"
"Sweetheart" he sighed, he patience unwavering despite his look of disapproval.
Casiel is an angel, she had been around a very very long time, in different forms. She rarely remembered her past forms lives, she remembered the mistakes however.
But there was seldom anything that made this form feel worse than when her Father was disappointed or angry with her.
"This can't keep happening love" he spoke suddenly, derailing Casiel's train of thought. She gazed at him absentmindedly. "Cas?"
"Yes, Dad, sorry" She sighed, configuring her attention back to him. His chocolate brown eyes betrayed no anger, no frustration, but worry and concern, shadowed by exhaustion. "You alright, Dad?"
"Sweetheart, why did you go out there tonight?" He spoke, adjusting his position, rubbing a painful cramp out of his shoulder. Casiel places two fingers on his shoulder, fixing the cramp. Bruce smiles with relief before gently taking her hand. "Sweetheart?"
"Moment of weakness, I guess" Casiel spoke softly, grasping his hand. "We can't use our powers during the day and they become painful when they're oppressed."
"I know honey, but trespassing and destroying cars isn't the way to do that-"
"Junkyard cars" Casiel corrected, turning her head away from him, rolling her shoulders.
"Casiel" Bruce spoke firmly, causing Casiel to alert to attention. "You cannot keep behaving like this"
"I know" she murmured, defeated. Bruce rubbed his tired eyes once more, adjusting his glasses.
"I'm only saying this because I love you"
"I love you too Dad" she spoke softly, raising to her feet. She pecked his cheek and wordlessly disappeared down the hallway, leaving Bruce to sit and consider if he'd been too harsh.
Casiel walked out later on in the night to find her Father asleep on the couch, neck resting in an awkward position. She levitates him carefully, walking to his room and placing him under the soft covers, smiling softly and disappearing into the darkness once more.
