Maria – 
The wine is warm beside Maria’s bed. The bottle of Prosecco momentarily forgotten about as a symphony engages beneath the darkness of night and blankets. It’s not often that Maria pulls the blankets overtop of herself as she works to unravel the intricate knots and coils in your belly, but she’s chosen tonight to share the beauty of your body with only herself and the silicone toy secured around her hips. Your moans are muffled by her skin, teeth embedded into her shoulder as she rocks the strap-on into you harshly, the bulbous head dancing along your cervix with every third stroke. She’s practiced in this tango, an expert in knowing your body, but the wine has impacted your reception to her actions, and as she pulls the strap out of you almost completely only to thrust back into you quick and harsh, a name leaves your lips that isn’t her own. 
Maria has never been soft with you in moments of time where some part of her body is buried within yours. She’s rough, and assertive, and entirely domineering as she splits you open and gives you only as much pleasure as she’s willing. With Maria, you’re never in charge. The cards are held tightly in her ironclad grasp and you’ve learned better than to try and guess that she’s holding. The wine however, has severely impacted your judgment. You’ve engaged in this dance for months now; been left with the bruises and aches of her touch for days afterward, and yet you’re disoriented enough to cry out for Wanda as she drills your sopping cunt so perfectly. 
“Mommy!” The title slips off your lips before you can search for the correct term that’s filed away in a section of your brain labeled ‘Masha’. Maria has never been Mommy, in fact, she’s always turned her nose up at the title and joked that Wanda’s entirely too harsh to be called something so maternal, and she’s less than amused when the five letter name falls onto her shoulders as she works to unravel you completely. 
Her hips stutter to a stationary position, the silicone dildo fastened around her hips deep within your pleasure soaked core, but unmoving and unwilling to start again. There’s a moment of silence that passes between the both of you; Maria’s eyes are hard, slitted and dark as she stares down at you in a drunken haze, brain struggling to process what you’ve just let slip. Your eyes are wide, light and soft as you meet her stare and attempt to win her forgiveness without seeing the repercussions of your actions. You were a fool to call her Mommy, but you were an idiot to think she’d let it go so simply. 
The silence that had fallen over you ended abruptly, replaced by the echoing sound of a sharp slap meeting your cheek and bouncing through the air before you’d had a chance to process the pain at all. Your head snapped to the side, your unharmed cheek pressing against her pillowcases that smell somewhat of smoke and vanilla. Your eyes pinch closed, anticipating the next hit that will land against your heated skin, but it never comes. Maria’s hand tangled into your hair instead, pulling your head back until your neck is craned and the expanse of your sensitive skin is exposed enough for her teeth and tongue to mark. 
“What’s my fucking name?” Her hips snap into yours with each word that she mutters against your neck, sharp bites and sensitive stings encasing your body in a delectable buzz of pleasure and possessiveness. You’ll bear these marks for days to come, indentations of her teeth and patches of purple from her lips adorning your skin that can’t be easily hidden with makeup or your longest turtleneck. Everyone who looks at you will know that you’d found yourself beneath a warm body and had been helpless to their assault, but only you’ll know that it was Maria Hill who had been your intimate attacker. Each lovebite that she presses into your skin is a subtle claim. You’re not Wanda’s in this moment, you’re not Natasha or Carol’s either, you’re entirely Maria’s and she’s reminding you of such as her hips drive hard against your own and the silicone strap that’s coated in your arousal attempts to bruise your cervix in the most addictively painful way. Each strong thrust sends you reeling farther into bliss, but she’s waiting for an answer and you’re not getting anything more until she hears you call her the right name. In her opinion, she’s being entirely lenient with you, there are a plethora of ways she can go about reminding you who you belong to, and yet your wrists remain unbound and your breasts remain unmarked by the leather of her favorite flogger that’s just an arms distance away. “Whats my fucking name, slut? Or do I need to carve it into you? How pretty would you be with my name on your thigh; ruined for anyone else who even tries to get between these legs? My little slut forever.” 
A strangled moan falls into the air as Maria sinks her teeth into the skin of your neck just beneath your ear, and your hands that have remained at your sides throughout this entire exchange shoot up to scratch at her back, blood bubbling to the surface as you spare to ounce of lightness to your touch. She’s marked you, now she’ll bear your marks for days to come. “S-Sir!” 
Maria hums, satisfied with your answer, but unwilling to forgive you completely. Her hips continue to pound into you until she reaches her high, thighs quivering as she moans in pure delight until she’s too sensitive to continue on with her ministrations. The strap-on leaves your entrance quickly, your overstimulated and sensitive walls pleading for it to stay, but Maria’s done for the night, and she’s decided that you are too. She reaches for the abandoned glass of wine, taking a sip smugly as she straddles your hips, damp toy splayed across your naked belly as your chest heaves and you look up at her pleadingly. 
“You’ll get to cum when I don’t have to remind you who I am.”
Natasha –
Natasha’s hips continue to rock into you even as she leans forward and captures your lips between hers. The room is filled with a thin layer of smoke, the scents of weed and sex entangling together and yet it's somehow entirely Natasha as you lay beneath her, willing to take whatever she wants to give you. Your head is fuzzy, filled with only thoughts of her and the lightness that the bud had brought over your senses. Her body is warm as her naked chest presses against yours, already marked by her passionate kisses and bites that will linger for days to come in secret. Her pupils are blown wide, a combination of her lust and the joint she’s rolled skillfully. Her fingers are educated in the art of many things, but unraveling you is one of her most prized hobbies. Her lungs are filled with smoke from the last drag she’s taken, and as the seconds linger on with her lips still pressed firmly to yours, unmoving but eager to claim you intimately, she exhales into your open mouth and forces you to take the smoke that she fills it with. It burns as you inhale, slipping down your throat smoothly and filling your own lungs, but it’s pleasant and you greedily allow her to continue until all that remains is an empty kiss that was once filled with weed. The smoke trails out in wispy strands of white and gray, and they dance between your faces until the open space claims it and the visual is gone. 
When she pulls away, there’s a devilish smirk on her lips that even another drag can’t erase entirely. She raises the joint to her lips again, eyes fluttering closed as she sits back on her heels, the cum-filled strap she borrows from Carol still buried within your walls and yet agonizingly still as she lets her head fall back in contentment. The cloud of milky white smoke that settles around her is entirely erotic, almost a halo of intoxication above her head, but there’s hardly a second for you to admire how ethereal she looks in this state before she presses into you firmly and resumes her rocking. Her pace is punishing albeit shallow, the tip of the strap-on hitting your perfect spot so softly it feels like butterfly sings batting against your skin, but she’s ruthless with her speed and the quick motions of her hips are enough to have you gripping at the sheets and looping your legs around her waist to draw her in deeper. 
Natasha laughs smugly at the sight of you so fried and desperate. She raises the joint to your lips with one hand, encouraging you to take a hit before her other hand wraps loosely around your neck. She doesn’t apply any pressure as you take a long drag, eyes fluttering closed as you involuntarily shiver at the taste lingering on your tongue, but the presence of her grip is enough to have your hips bucking into hers. 
“F-fuck sir!” You cry out when she obliges with your silent request and begins to thrust deeper into your core, the head of the toy pounding right against your sensitive spot with practiced ease as your head falls back against the pillows and your lips release the joint. A cough falls off your lips as you moan around the smoke in your lungs, eyes becoming watery from the burning sting, but you have no time to recover from the hit before Natasha’s hand is tightening around your neck and her hips are setting into you faster and harder. 
Her lips purse as she collects spit on the tip of her tongue, letting it fall against your flush cheek before she smears it down your neck, fingers that are still holding the lit join trailing across the expanse of your sensitive and worked over skin. She’s playing with fire now, quite literally, smearing her spit across your chest until she finds a home at your pebbled nipple and pinches roughly, but you have no ounce of self-preservation in your body as you watch the lit joint fall closer and closer to the marked skin of your chest as she tightened her grip on your neck and leans cynically close to your face. Her eyes are dark, clouded with lust and intoxication. Her hips have set a punishing pace and each time she drives the head of the strap into your g-spot your vision goes white with pleasure. 
“That’s not my fucking name. Are you really that much of a slut that you’re thinking about Masha as I’m fucking you. We can get Masha if you’d like, I’m sure she’d love to watch as I fuck you into my mattress until the only words you know how to say are Daddy please. I’m sure she’d love to lay between these legs and watch my cum spill out of you before I push it right back in and plug you up. Fucking whore. Is Daddy fucking you too good? Is that little brain so overwhelmed with pleasure that you don’t even know who’s fucking you?” Natasha lightens her grip on your nipple, bringing the joint back up to her lips before she drops it into the ashtray on her bedside table and grips the dildo, throwing her head back as her thrusts become choppy. “I bet you’d let anyone fuck this cunt. All you want is to cum. Fuck!” She curses as she drops her body against yours, lips capturing yours in a bruising kiss as she squeezes the shaft tightly, cum spurting against your walls and marking them with a milky whiteness. “Cum with me. Fuck!” 
With her permission, the coil in your belly finally snaps, and you arch into her touch as she rides out her own orgasm, the cum slipping down your legs and coating your inner thighs and her sheets. “Fuck Daddy!” 
“Good girl. Scream my name. Let Masha hear how good I’m making you feel.” 
Wanda – 
When Wanda invited you over to fuck, you’d anticipated something quick. What you hadn’t expected, was for her to bind your wrists to her headboard and force your legs apart with her recently purchased spreader bar. You’d been at her mercy for hours now, writhing on the bed beneath her as she took her time working you up. First it had been her fingers that dared to ruin you, the ringed digits slipping between your folds and teasing your clit and entrance until you were dripping onto the bed sheets and pleading with her to give you something more. She’d agreed easily, not even putting up a fight to prove her dominance over you. Those skilled fingers had turned into a skilled tongue. The hot muscle pressed against your clit, lapped at your entrance and slurped up the damp arousal that glistened beneath the moonlight that bled into the room from the open window. She was relentless in her teasing, and as overstimulated as you were beneath her touch, you were equally as frustrated. She’d been at it for hours, bringing you just close enough to taste the sweet relief of your orgasm before she pulled away and began the process all over again. You’d cursed her out six times since she started, and each time she merely chuckled against your core and slapped her palm down harshly against your cunt, sure to let her fingers brush against your clit for merely a second before it was gone and her tongue soothed the ache but brought nothing more. 
Your hands itched to tangle into her hair, and yet each time you reached for her you remembered how she’d so intricately bound you to the headboard with the softest rope in her collection. Your hips bucked upward as she pulled away again, your entrance clenching around nothing as your clit throbbed and protested. A broken cry fell off your lips as you shook your head frantically, needing her back on you and relieving the intense ache that she had single handedly created. Her lips and chin glistened with your arousal as she smirked down at you, the vibrating egg between her legs working her up to an orgasm you could only beg for. 
A whine rippled through your chest before it tumbled into the room, the words you’d been chanting for hours mangled and wrong as they came spiraling out fast and strung together. “Captain! P-Please!” Wanda growled lowly at the slip, her eyes dark and sinister as she leaned forward to grab your jaw and force your eyes on her. 
“What did you call me?” Despite how she articulated every syllable in the sentence, she wasn’t really looking for you to respond to her. In a swift motion, she’d reached across the bed to grab the panties that she’d pulled from your legs when you’d first joined her in the bedroom, and shoved them into your mouth. The balled up fabric was damp and uncomfortable as it sat on your tongue, but despite how hard you strained to force them away from your mouth, you couldn’t get them out with your arms bound and her body restricting your movements. 
Your eyes tracked her movements as she fumbled around in the drawers of her bedside table, thighs straddling your waist as she leaned forward and subsequently rocked the vibrating egg farther into her tight channel. She trembled in pleasure, but everything about her was always so perfectly kept that it was hardly noticeable to anyone who wasn’t you. Her rustling had lasted mere seconds before a black marker that had been used weeks prior to mark up a project poster now in her grip and uncapped. You had no idea what she planned to do with it, but there wasn’t any way for you to ask if you wanted to. You were helpless to watch as she slid down your body and dragged the inky tip across the skin of your breasts before moving downward. 
You gasped when the cold tip of the marker dragged across the skin right above your mound, thick black letters that you had to strain your neck to read lingering on your skin only to be gone when you washed your body of her touch later that night. ‘Mommy’s Slut’, was written just above your cunt, but Wanda wasn’t satisfied in stopping there. She dragged the felt tip across the inside of your thigh, holding your legs still as they wiggled away from the ticklish sensations she provoked. A thick arrow pointed straight at your weeping entrance, and Wanda was cruel enough to write, ‘cum slut’ at the tip of the arrow. A cry fell off your lips when she threw the marker onto the floor, and returned to her position between your legs. Her mouth was cruel as it worked you up to the edge, but unlike the times prior, she hadn’t stopped when you’d begun to wriggle around as an indication of your approaching orgasm. You fell over the cliffside in bliss, but that had only lasted long enough for your orgasm to crash over you and then she was gone, forcing you to ride it out with no further stimulation. 
A harsh slap met your sensitive cunt when you finally stilled on her bed, teary eyed and desperate for something more as you stared up at her with wide pleading eyes. Wanda wasn’t willing to comply however, and instead of satisfying you fully, she trailed harsh bites up your torso and between the valley of your breasts before her lips, still glistening with your arousal, found a home against yours. The dainty pink panties with a frail little bow on the waistband still between your teeth and properly wet from your saliva, but she hadn’t trailed so close to your face to kiss you. Instead, she settled her harsh glare on you, a sinister smile curling the edges of her lips upward as she let a damp finger stroke across your cheekbones, “I guess Mommy has to remind you of who you belong to. We’ll see if you deserve to cum in a few days.” 
Carol –
The buttplug is an added sensation that Carol uses to her advantage as she works to unravel you completely before you both have to leave for class. You’re not new to butt plugs, Maria’s quite the fan of them, but you’re new to them with Carol and the ways that she likes to toy with your stimulated body. You're on all fours in the center of her bed, knees sinking into the mattress as your hands grasp and twist at the comforter, absolutely desperate for relief that’s been slowly building beneath the surface. Her fingers are buried deep into your core, curling into your g-spot and massaging your velvet walls with pride. Her tongue circles the plug in your ass teasingly, and every couple of minutes when you least expect it, she presses against the base of the plug in tandem with her harsher thrusts before she scissors you open. 
Carol smirks against your ass as she sinks her teeth into your left cheek, her hand slapping down on you right just as she flicks her thumb over your clit. A muffled moan falls off of your lips as you bury your face into the comforter, your hips rocking back on their own accord as you attempt to chase after her touch, a strangled cry of, “Daddy more!”, vibrating your cheek as you twist your head to rest your cheek against the comforter and stare back at her. 
Carol is relatively unbothered by your slip of her title, but she doesn’t let it go entirely, not that you’re aware yet. Her fingers work into you easily, her thumb rubbing harsher, tighter circles around your clit until you're spasming on the bed. She smirks against the globe of your ass, her thumb pressing firmly against the plug with the hand that’s not buried between your thighs. “That’s not my name Princess and you know that.” Carol says smugly, grinding her hips down onto the edge of the bed as she chases her own relief, knowing there’s not enough time in the ten minutes she has left with you to reverse your position and have you go down on her. 
“Captain!” You cry out sharply, reaching your hand back to grasp onto Carol’s as the coil builds in your belly almost unbearably. The engineering major merely smirks, digging her teeth into your ass a final time before she encourages you to spill around her fingers. That’s all it takes for you to cave and tremble as she continues to scissor you open and curl her fingers into your cunt, but as quickly as your orgasm comes, she’s pulling away and throwing your clothes at your head. “You’re really going to go to class like that?” You question her, laying dazing on her bed as you twist onto your back and watch her run a baby wipe between her legs before she’s wiggling into a pair of fresh panties and reaching for her pants. 
“Yes, and so are you. Get up. That plug doesn’t come out until I take it out.” She says in the most unphased tone, reaching for the crewneck that’s been laying across her desk chair for days, not even bothering to reach for the bra that’s only inches away. 
“W-What?” Your eyes go wide as you sit up in bed, wincing slightly at the pressure in your ass as the plug presses against the inner parts of you sweetly, ropes of pleasure shooting through your core. 
“You didn’t think I’d let you off that easily, did you, Princess?” Carol merely winks before she’s flying out of the room, shouting that you have three minutes to meet her in the car before she leaves without you and makes you walk to class.

Imagine your at a restaurant with mommy Wanda and her colleagues Natasha, carol, Kate, Maria and Yelena.
You’re feeling in a bratty mood so you’re very fidgety and not listening to anything Wanda says. You start reallyyyy pushing your limits when you start completely ignoring everyone at the table and just using your phone and being a little bitch.
Wanda decides she’s had enough so to get your attention. She picks up her phone and starts showing everyone at the table a video. You don’t notice first but then you feel the energy at the table change so you look up and see Natasha next to you holding Wanda’s phone and you look over and it’s a video of you naked on your knees begging to suck Wanda’s strap and saying how much of a good girl you are. Wanda slaps your face with the strap and pushes it down your throat.
Your heart stops in your chest and you look at everyone but they’re already looking at you. With lust.
You don’t even dare look at Wanda but do so anyways and she just has a smirk on her face and puts her hand around your waist to scoot you closer to her and whispers in your ear “they’re all gonna ruin you but you don’t get to cum until I say so, and I don’t think that’ll be anytime soon.” you feel tears start welling up in your eyes from the humiliation from all the women who are still ogling the phone and sending it to each other.
Natasha scoots closer to you and leans closer to your neck “I can’t wait until your bouncing on me and I can play with those nipples” and she pinches your inner thigh really hard so you wince and look at her with doe eyes.

(btw they both work for s.h.i.e.l.d)
words: 1,922
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanda cornered you in the bathroom, "You're mine," she said, jealousy as clear as daylight in her eyes as she held the dagger to your throat, "I don't want to see you around that whore again." She pressed the dagger to your cheek, letting the the smallest bit of blood drop onto her dagger before licking it off. "W-Wanda, we broke up months ago, I'm not into her!"
It was hard to argue back when Wanda's hand was pressed hard against your throat, your words slipping off your lips. Wanda's eyes narrowed in anger as she leaned in closer, the dagger coming dangerously close to cutting through your throat. "Did you forget already that I can do that?" Wanda pushed down harder on the dagger, her expression slowly turning into one of worry, "You won't be forgetting about this anytime soon. You're mine."
She dragged you into your apartments bedroom and practically threw you to the mattress. A couple hours ago you were just relaxing at the bar with your friends, why'd Agatha have to be there, you broke up 10 months ago, and yet when she noticed you she immediately started flirting with you. Wanda jumped on top of you and pinned you to the bed with her arms, she started kissing you neck with anger and lust, "You're mine." She repeated, "Not Agatha's, not Nat's, not anyone else." Wanda's lips went further down to your neck. She placed kisses onto your collarbone before getting to your belt buckle and unclasping it, dragging it down along with your panties. She had already ripped your shirt off so she continued to unbuckle your bra, struggling as she had you pressed under her on the bed.
You tried to flip around so you wouldn't be naked, but Wanda just pushed up her body to the side, pressing her breasts firmly on your back while sticking her dagger in your back, making you whimper. You gasped as her hand covered your mouth, "Sorry," she whispered before planting a kiss on your neck, "But I just can't let Agatha touch you. She's not going to get away with this, if I have to kill someone, it'll be Agatha" She then went to take off her pants, only to reveal the surprisingly large strap she had hidden under them.
Your mouth dropped at the sight of it, so she took the chance to thrust it into your pussy, making you moan at the haste of it all, the perfect mixture of pleasure and pain. She put her mouth to yours and pushed her tongue inside to swallow all the noises you were making as she slowly started to thrust into you. Slowly soon turned into her bottoming you out as she thrusted deeper than you thought was possible. Her thrust were harder and faster than you've every experienced, and you were approaching the edge quickly. "You're mine Y/N!" Wanda hissed in your ear, her fingers digging into the flesh of your back before giving you one final thrust, sending you off the edge. The orgasm was so much that you passed out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You wake up the next morning to find you're still in the same position you were in the previous day, but now Wanda is gone. You're feeling slightly refreshed after sleeping in, but your back was really sore, and you don't feel the sheets that were covering your body. Your legs hurt from laying in the same position for so long, and your mind was more sore than your body was. You decide to get up and take a shower, still covered in sweat and smelling of sex.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the exit the bathroom, you think back to the night before, and your eyes darted to your bed. The sheets and bedspread were all folded neatly, but all the notes Agatha had been sending over the last few months were gone from your vanity, Wanda must have taken them. You were still unsure as to what Wanda was really up to, but you couldn't find the words to come to terms with her mind games, her manipulative actions. She practically broke into your apartment at midnight with her dagger, green jealousy radiating off her. You opened the door to see who was there and she just barged in and started walking you backwards, shutting the door with her foot, into the bathroom. It took you a while until you realized she was jealous over the fact Agatha was at the same bar as you last night and was flirting with you. How'd Wanda even find out, and more importantly, she liked you? You thought back to what happened at the bar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natasha and Darcy were talking about their crushes, Maria and Monica, while Carol was observing, she noticed Agatha from across the bar and tapped your shoulder, recognizing your obsessive ex-girlfriend, you two were dating for 4 years, you had wanted to leave several times, but she always convinced you to say, eventually you had enough of her bullshit and left at night without another word. when she figured this out she was texting you for days before you blocked her. It had been 9 months since then and here she was, practically running towards you.
"Heyyyyyyy Y/N!! Howww have yoou b-eeeen!?" She was clearly way too drunk, as her words struggled to come out in coherent sentences and slurred around. "Uhm-" you tried to say, but Agatha interrupted you, "Y'knoowww, I'm reeeally sorrrrry aboout what happppednedd, I n-evvveerrr meannt tooo pusshh yoou a-awwayy!" Carol watched in silence as Nat and Darcy were trying to keep themselves from bursting out laughing, but they stopped when drunk Agatha gripped you by your suit's collar and pulled you in for a kiss.
It took you a couple of seconds to process what was happening while her lips were on yours, but when you did you pushed her away as fast as you could, "Agatha, I'm not into you, how many times must I tell you this, stop sending me your fucking letters, we broke up 10 months ago, go get laid by someone else!" You snapped, and the people around you were shocked, Agatha looked about on the verge of tears, she turned around and sped away. You immediately felt guilt rise up, but you pushed it away, Agatha should've known better. Little did you know, your other secret admirer, Wanda, was too in that bar, watching the scene unfold.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After eating breakfast and getting ready, you headed downstairs to your car so you could head to S.H.E.I.L.D. headquarters. That is wear Jimmy stopped you, "Darcy told me all about what went down last night, what a coincidence!" He laughed and so did you, "Yeah but I didn't mean to make her cry, but I just snapped, I forgot how difficult she is to handle.." "Well, more reasons as to why not to get back together!" he responded, putting a smile on your face, he always manages to do so. "Well I'll see you later, I'm heading to work." "Later!!" You heard him yell back as you walked away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you arrived at the headquarters, you immediately went to your private study, not wanting to talk to anyone else of the incident. When you walked in you locked the door, but when you went to turn on the lamp in the dark room you were pinned against the door with speed "W-hat!?" "Shh hon.." when your eyes adjusted to the darkness you saw Wanda. "Wands?" Wanda laughed a bit at your nervousness, "Yes love."
"Uhm, why are you here, what is happening, what happened last night, do you like m-" before you could fins rambling, Wanda shut you up with a passionate kiss, when she finished she responded "Well, I never got to finish what I started last night, since you passed out, never even got a chance to taste you!" Now that your eyes were just about fully adjusted to the darkness, you could tell Wanda's eyes were blown and darkened with lust.
She rose her knee to be firmly placed against your already soaked pussy, she grabbed your hips, pinning you to the door with her body, and began to grind you into her thigh, making you moan and whimper, you bucked your knees and began going faster, already close to the edge. Her grip on your hips tightened and she started grinding you harder and faster against her thigh, and when you were about to fall of the edge, she pulled away.
"Hey what the h-" before you could protest she grabbed your neck and started kissing you, forcing her tongue into your mouth as she rotated the both of you and dropped you in an arm chair, she then quickly tore your shirt off and starting palming at the back of your bra. When she got it off, she put her mouth around your nipple while taking off your pants and underwear. She started kissing your neck leaving marks as she teased you. Her hands groped your tits and clit at the same time, but she also grabbed your nipples and pinched. The pain was soon replaced by pleasure as her soft touches sent waves of pleasure through your entire body.
She moaned as you started grinding into her hand, feeling your orgasm start to rise. You moaned "Ahhhhh!" loudly and leaned into her touch, and suddenly your wall dropped and your climax hit. She decided this was the right time to stick three fingers into your pussy and started thrusting them hard and deep, through your orgasm. "Wands, sensitive, please" you mumbled, struggling to turn incoherent thoughts into coherent words. You could already feel the next orgasm coming quickly, she could tell from the way your pussy was clenching her fingers like she was their life line, "I saw what happened at the bar," she said as she was still thrusting into you, you moaning wildly, " I don't want you kissing anyone but me." and with one particularly hard thrust you fell of the edge screaming her name.
She wasn't done yet, she took out her fingers and put one to her mouth, tasting it, "Mmm, so sweet" she moaned, she put the other two fingers up to your mouth as she worked to sit between your legs, but you couldn't care less. "Try it" You opened you mouth and sucked on her fingers, groaning at the taste. "Yeah good I know right, can't wait for more" "Wait what do yo- OHHHhhHH" before you could finish, Wanda started devouring you, which you were not prepared for, Wanda was sitting between your legs and was sucking on your clit like a hungry infant, not only was her tongue going wild on you, her fingers she had just put in your pussy were slamming in and out and she took one and sucked on it. You tried to scream, but before you could Wanda took your clit between her teeth and bit down, feeling her teeth against your sensitive spot sent you to your climax, the only problem was you had no idea how.
You just fell in her arms, completely spent. Wanda crawled up and kissed you, leaning back against the wall with a smug look on her face. "Did you hear me, no more Agatha or anyone for that matter." "Yeah yeah, of course.." you mumbled as you lay comfortably in her arms. As you fell asleep, Wanda whispered in you ear,
"You're mine now detka."

Summary:
In a world where reincarnation and soulmates are common, it is the 1880s during an expedition in another continent. Here, the star-crossed soulmates Carol Danvers and Maria Rambeau meet for the first time—here, in their first lives as the wildlife biologist Carol Browning and Mariam “Maria” Bennett. From their first meeting, their fates are entangled and recongize themselves as destined lovers.
Defiantly against the Victorian norms, Carol and Maria still long to be together. Crave, even. But both fear that heaven may not be that kind to let them be.

My Airman

Carol Danvers x Female Reader 2,082 words
You go and tap out your Airman
"Today's the day," a boy, walking the fine line of being regarded as a man, slapped Carol over the shoulders with a giant grin on his face. "You excited, Danvers?" Carol smacked his arms off and his ever so contagious grin presented itself onto her own lips.
"Course I am," she smiled, "anyone coming to tap you out, Small." Graduation day: one of the top things that got Carol through the eight and half weeks of rigorous training.
"The whole family's coming," he shrugged with a proud smile, "you?" Carol couldn't help her fast growing smile as she thought about it.
"Just Y/n," she smirked looking down to fold a shirt. The boy raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to get a better look at his comrade before chuckling at her, teasing her, it was all the same.
"Ohh the famous lover, do we finally get to meet her?" Another joined in and Carol glared at him.
"I hope to steer her away as far as possible from you lot," she teased, "especially Lepley over there." The boy named Lepley turned to look as he heard his name. "Yeah, I'm talking about you, pretty boy." She nodded before he sauntered over.
"What're we on about?" Lepley questioned.
"Carol's girl," King replied half-heartedly, you had been the topic of many conversations, and still he didn't know if you really existed.
Lepley shook his head, "Danvers does not have a girl, there is no way," there was a chorus of groans from the rest and put his hands up in defence, "I know, I know, we've been over this before, but even if we say you do have a wife there is absolutely no way she is as pretty as you say she is."
"Awwh someone jealous, Lepley? You'll have your first kiss soon, don't you worry about it." She lightly smacked his jaw twice and winked at him before leaving the laundry room with her pile of neatly folded clothes. In less than five hours you'd be back in her arms again. She couldn't wait to see you, were you as excited as she was? She hoped so.
—––—
Today was the day: Carol's graduation day. The last eight and a half weeks had been some of the loneliest days you had experienced and you couldn't be more excited to finally be in her arms once again. You had been up early this morning, preparing for your trip, making sure you'd be on time. Carol's favourite sundress hung from the door as you did your makeup from the bathroom, applying clear mascara today because you knew there would be waterworks. You raced around the house as you got ready and your cat, Buttons, and Carol's dog, Rufus, sat watching you with lazy curiosity.
After an hour, you were mostly ready, your makeup was done, you were in the dress, and you had just finished your breakfast. You collected all of your things into your arms and struggled your way through the front door and toward your car. You made sure to pack Carol's favourite snacks, as well as Maria's, into the car and a few pillows; it was going to be a long drive. The driver's door slammed shut and your hands rested on the steering wheel; you were definitely forgetting something. What were you forgetting? With a sigh, you left the car and went back into the house, your eyes searching.
Buttons ran at you, screaming. "I've already fed you, you don't need any more food, round man," you muttered as you knelt down to stroke him. He brushed himself against your leg and that was when you noticed your shoes, or, more importantly, your lack of shoes. You had left the house in slippers. Your eyes flicked to the clock hanging on the wall and they widened. As quickly as you could, you ran upstairs and filed through your shoes and your sock drawer. Hopping down the stairs as you struggled to put them on, you tied your laces at the bottom and grabbed your keys from the table before walking around the corner toward the door, and that was when you stopped.
"Buttons, no," you stated firmly as he sat by the door, tail wagging sinisterly from side to side. Rufus trotted in, noticing the commotion, and his ears perked up at your tone.
After a few lost minutes, you made it to your car and, finally, the engine rumbled to life. And, as you backed out the driveway, Buttons crouched happily over a plate of leftover chicken. He was round with good reason.
—––—
It was nearly time to go. Carol could feel the constriction of her chest as she heard the hum of the audience just outside, full of family, friends and loved ones. Carol glanced to her side and caught Maria's eye with a grin.
"I'm coming to tap you out," Carol reminded her and she nodded gratefully.
"Y/n better have my snacks," Maria warned with a raised brow and Carol shook her head with a smirk. She was so glad her two favourite people were best friends too.
"She'll have them, she knows how cranky you get," Carol teased earning a light slap to the back from her friend. "What? It's true," she looked up at the clock and Maria followed her gaze.
"Time to go."
It was dark outside and a cool breeze hit her bare skin as she joined her flight for the airman's run. She could hear the crowd screaming and howling as the first signs of them appeared. They chanted in time with one another and she struggled to suppress her excited grin, everyone was so happy to be there. When Carol passed the first group of people all she wanted to do was turn her head to see if you were there, but she couldn't and she continued to jog up to the end. Only when she turned around to jog back did she catch a glimpse of a familiar face; you were stood at the back of the small crowd, the rest of the audience sat in the high stands further back, and she felt her heart drum against her ribcage. Your heart was probably beating just as fast, albeit not taking part in any physical activities, Carol thought to herself; crowds were never your thing, and it made her feel special that you would join one in the hopes of seeing her.
When Carol made it back they all quickly turned to the changing rooms, to get out of their kit and into their uniforms. Maria bumped into her side as they changed.
"Did you see her?" She questioned Carol as she quickly pulled off her shirt. Carol nodded her head with a smirk. "I didn't," she frowned, "where was she?"
"Right at the back of the crowd toward the end," Carol answered and watched the shocked expression form on her best friend's face.
"I was looking at the stands," Maria told truthfully.
"I thought she'd be there too," Carol chuckled and shook her head with a smile before focusing on getting ready.
—––—
You watched them disappear into the distance, the screams and shouts of the people around you never faltered, and you were directed to the spouse orientation. Your heart was pounding inside of your chest as you listened to the man with the crowd of other spouses. It was still early in the morning and you could feel the chill of the crisp air against your cheeks and skin. You hadn't bothered with taking a jumper or anything to keep you warm, knowing that it would soon warm up and that you would have no where to put it until the end when you got back to your car. So you stood there, arms folded over your chest and hands wrapped around your arms, listening.
After the briefing, everyone began to fill out the stands and so you followed suit. You sat quite high up wanting to be able to get a better view of the whole field, which meant a better view of where Carol would be. A boy sat swinging his legs beside you, a smile on his face as he looked out onto the field, at the aircraft in the background. You followed his gaze and studied the aircraft, they were huge, massive hunks of metal machinery that Carol climbs into willingly. You shivered. She was a lot braver than you were and that was something that you loved. You loved everything about her, the good and the bad, she was your best friend and your lover. Nothing could have prepared you for Carol and, in a way, you were glad for it.
A man stood with a microphone, entertaining the crowd as they waited for the airmen to come out. By now, the sun was out and you welcomed it as it warmed your skin. The man declared that they were just around the corner and the crowd erupted into shouts and a round of applause. A band came out first and the crowd whooped for them, it was starting. The energy around you was electric and you couldn't help the grin that was forming on your face. You felt ecstatic when you heard the first beats from the band. You joined in with the clapping when the man announced the first flight.
You watched as each flight came marching onto the field in an orderly fashion, and cheered for every one of them, your cheering growing louder as it got closer and closer to Carol's flight.
"Flight 616!"
You cheered, louder than you had before; everyone around you was here for the same reason, so there was no reason to be embarrassed. No one cared, you were meant to be loud here. And that was exactly what you did.
You squinted at the sun as you shaded your eyes with your hand, all you wanted was to was see Carol. You scanned her flight in search for her and when your eyes finally landed on her your heart swelled with pride and joy. This was her dream, and she had it; every day she worked hard and it had finally paid off. She stood tall and proud in her uniform and it nearly brought tears to your eyes. Not yet, you told yourself, save the tears for later.
Your eyes scanned for Maria when her flight was announced and your heart swelled with just as much pride. You then watched proudly as they both receive their badges and watched as they saluted. It was a long time after that you were then able to go out onto the field; people rushed from the stands and children ran to find their person. You walked down after them, careful to not miss a step on the steep stairs, and when you finally made it to the ground your heart was threatening to beat out of your chest. You were so close, she was so close. You were quick as you walked to her flight, slowing down to scan everyone's faces for hers. Your breath hitched in your throat when you saw the side of her face, facing forward and unmoving, and you quickly moved to the other side of the flight and stepped into her sight. 
Some unknown force came over you and you bounded into her arms. Strong arms wrapped around your waist and pressed you close into her as she rocked you back and forth, waddling out of formation. The two of you stayed quiet as you embraced each other, making up for the many, many days you hadn't been able to touch each other, and silent salty tears began to leak from your eyes. Carol's hands moved up to your shoulders and pushed you back so she could see you, comforting blue eyes searched your own and a hand rested against your jaw as she brought her lips to each cheek, kissing away your tears, before her lips landed on your own. You hummed at the feeling and sunk into her touch, you had gone for far too long without that feeling.
Once, the kiss was over you settled back into her embrace, arms wrapped around each other. "I've missed you so much," Carol whispered her breath tickling your ear and you let out a deep breath.
"I've missed you too," you mumbled softly. "We should go find Maria." Carol tightened her grip around you.
"No, just a little longer."

If you’re still taking prompts then: had thought all of this would be so different for us." for carolmaria. <3
sorry this took some time !! here it is :') hope you enjoy !
--
--
Carol lies on her side, arm folded underneath her pillow and providing extra support and height all for a better angle to look at her. The smile that’s been permanently on her face for about a week now makes a tired stretch into something bigger.
“Had thought all of this would be so different for us,” Maria whispers and Carol shifts her eyes from the tiny body resting on her chest to Maria’s face. She’s also transfixed on the baby and can only look away when she feels Carol’s eyes on her. They smile at each other and then return to gazing at the baby.
Monica’s only a week old. Small everywhere and smaller everywhere else. Maria and Carol never knew their hands could carry and exude such tenderness and yet with Monica it came as easily as breathing. Like it had been part of them from the time their own hands were as little as hers.
“Yeah,” Carol agrees in her own tired whisper. “I never knew I'd be so grateful for knocking up my one night stand.”
Maria turns her head enough to give Carol a playful glare but Carol refuses to meet her eyes, opting instead to keep smiling at Monica.
“You're even less funny when I’m delirious.”
“That's not how that's supposed to work.”
“Mmm.”
Monica’s body rises and falls with every breath Maria takes. Carol has never seen a sight so perfectly personify what is her entire being. “Maria, she's perfect.”
“She's perfect,” Maria echoes and takes the risk of running her fingers gingerly through the baby’s already thick head of curls. Monica's only reaction is snuggling closer to her mom. Carol squeezes her eyes shut to keep from screaming at how overwhelmingly adorable that was.
“Oh, God,” Carol throws a hand over her eyes for good measure and groans out a quiet laugh. “She’s going to be running this house in a year.”
“Mmhm,” Maria inhales and then chuckles. “If we can hold out that long.”
“Big if.”
“Big if.” They smile at Monica. “I'm so tired.” It's 4:17am. The smallest thing in the world has total control over both of their sleep schedules. She shows no mercy.
“I'm exhausted.”
“Uh-uh,” Maria extends her arm enough to raise a finger at Carol, “you are not allowed to be ‘more’ or ‘better word than tired’ tired than me for…for at least-”
“Nine-ish months or so?” Carol wraps a hand around Maria's finger and Maria smiles. Both of their smiles are getting sleepier. Both of them think it's the sweetest thing they've ever seen.
After Monica of course.
“I love you,” Carol mumbles.
Maria pulls her finger free and gently grasps Carol’s chin. “I love us.”
Monica yawns and Maria and Carol snap away from each other’s eyes to watch the beauty before them. Monica’s hand stretches open and then closes into the tiniest fist ever bestowed upon this world.
“Oh, yeah,” Carol grins and Maria hums her agreement.
“She's gonna be trouble.”

Will You Stay?
Carol remembers.
Remembers the mesmerizing feel of soft and lush lips against her own.
Remembers how supple and luscious her body is beneath hers.
She remembers Maria is dominant in every aspect of their lives.
Except one.
This.
This…was her domain.
It’s the first moment of privacy all day and the tension in the room is thick, a fog of lust and need. You are in the doorway, shoulder leaned against the frame, eyes ravenously raking over her body. Maria is seated at the table, back leaned against the windowsill, arm draped over the back of her chair. Her casual demeanor belies her racing pulse, you can see it throbbing a frantic rhythm at the base of her neck. It’s good to know you are not the only one affected by the mere proximity of the other. Eyes locked in a heated gaze, you move first, slowly stalking across the room towards Maria, hand outstretched.
“Come here.”
The command is simple, but a small noise escapes Maria and her eyes are heavy lidded as she rises from her seat at the table.  Her tongue darts out to wet her lips before the bottom is caught between her teeth as her fingertips finally meet yours.  The touch is electric, your fingertips grazing along her palm and up the length of her arm before gripping the backs of her biceps and pulling her firmly against you. A gasp escapes her as your bodies meld together from chest to knee and your lips begin to consume hers in a languorous kiss. Your hands begin to wander, over her tank top and then under, caressing every satin inch of skin they could reach. They settle briefly on her breasts, kneading the pillowy flesh there, thumbs tracing and flicking at her pert nipples.
A shiver courses through her body and she whimpers against your lips as her nipples pebble beneath your touch. You can’t resist the urge to take the hard buds in your mouth, breaking the kiss to pull her tank top over her head and trail wet sloppy kisses along her neck and across the swell of her luscious mounds. Teasingly you graze the tip of your tongue around her areola, circling closer and closer towards her aching nipple before slowly encompassing it in the moist heat of your mouth. Maria is panting softly, her arms snaking around your shoulders. From one globe to the other, your mouth continues its assault, suckling, tongue swirling, as your hands glide over her ass and squeeze. The sound of her moans and the feel of her grinding her hips into yours is almost your undoing, your hands are on the move again.
Your grip on her waist tightens in one hand as your other slides palm down over her taut stomach and beneath the waistband of her panties. A hiss escapes you as you peel back the damp lace and run two fingers through her slick heat, she is soaking wet, more than ready for you. The pressure is feather light as you caress her clit, circling her pulsating nub a few times before dipping lower to tease at her slick entrance. Her moans are soft and sweet as her forehead falls forward onto yours. Up and down your fingers glide, swirling around her nub and probing into moist heat.
“So tight… so wet for me…”
The barely there touch is slowly driving the both of you insane, but the aggression edging brings out in her is like a drug, you crave it, need it, now. You increase the pressure just slightly, focusing your ministrations on her throbbing pleasure point as her lips take yours in another searing kiss. The kiss is hard and rough as your tongues battle for dominance and her hands slide from your shoulders to cup your neck. You increase your attentions, pressing her clit in hard tight circles and her mouth falls slack as her moans intensify. Already an orgasm is approaching, you can feel in the increasing tremors in her legs, hear it in her ragged breaths. A few more circles and your hand stills and you can’t help but smirk as her frustrated groans fill the air. Desire burns bright in her eyes as she grabs you by the scruff of your shirt and hauls you in for a passionate kiss, all the while backing up towards the table. As soon as her legs touch the frame you are lifting her, placing her on the edge and she is pulling you in impossibly closer.
Maria remembers too.
Remembers the captivating feel of suntanned skin against her own.
Remembers the fire in Carol’s eyes as she called her Captain.
She remembers the ecstasy that awaits her, awaits them both.
She only has to hand over control.
It’s been so long, too long, since you’ve been kissed like this, touched like this and Carol’s touch is igniting a raging fire deep within you, teasing you, but two can play that game.
“I’m all yours, Captain.”
Her eyes narrow and her nostrils flare as she pushes you down to the table. She makes short work of removing your coveralls, but she leaves the thin little strip of red lace in place. Her hands massage your breasts as she peppers kisses around your navel and down your happy trail making you quiver in anticipation. Her hands begin to slide down your torso as she drops to her knees before you, still showering your body with kisses while lifting your legs and placing your feet on the edge of the table. Two fingers spread you open as she bites her lip and takes a moment to admire your glistening folds before diving in tongue first. You can’t help but to cry out at the sensation, her tongue is sinfully swirling, tenderly flicking at your clit before slurping it into her mouth.
���Oh my God" you pant, feeling a warmth begin to tingle anew in your lower abdomen.
Swirl, slurp, pop, over and over, Carol persists in her onslaught. Her grip around your thighs tightens as you begin to grind your pussy into her mouth, desperate to increase the pressure. You can feel her responding moan vibrating deep within your core. Her tongue slides down your slit and briefly enters you before licking back up and circling your clit once more and repeating the motion all over again. The slow build is driving you wild, winding the coil in the pit of your stomach tighter and tighter. This time when Carol slides her tongue down your slit, she stiffens it and presses forward, languidly tongue fucking you while her nose nuzzles at your clit, she is urging you ever closer to the edge. And then she stops.
Your frustrated growl is cut off as she is on her feet in a flash and hauling you in for a breath stealing kiss. In the back of your mind, you faintly register her wrapping your legs around her waist and lifting you from the table, you are lost in the exotic taste of your essence mingled with her on your tongue. You break apart from the kiss in a gasp as the coolness of the duvet greets your back, you don’t know when she made the move to the bedroom and you don’t really care, all that matters is Carol and the wicked sensations she is eliciting within you. Her lips are on your neck sucking, tongue twirling around your pulse point while her hands deftly massaging your breasts, thumbs tweaking at your nipples. She moves to slide down your body, kisses and hands trailing downward, when you tighten your grip with your thighs around her waist and drag her back up.
“I want to feel your body on top of mine.”
Maybe you pulled her a little rougher than necessary, but you feel her smirk against your skin as her hands continue to slip down and wet hot kisses trail up to your ear. One hand fastens onto your waist while the other continues down, fingers skating through your slick folds, pressing hard into your throbbing bundle of nerves before teasing at your entrance. Her lips lock onto yours and your moans are swallowed up as she thrusts two fingers fast inside, fingertips pressing into your deepest places. She stills briefly to give you time to adjust, tongues still dueling in a sloppy kiss, but your walls are clenching around her, drawing her deeper inside and your hips already grinding up, chasing her as she pulls almost completely out.
“Caaptain pleease" you mumble against her lips.
Carol immediately launches into a pounding rhythm as she nuzzles along the column of your neck and presses soft kisses just beneath your ear, her moans are gentle and whispering as she takes her pleasure in your body while yours reverberate in the air around you. Ecstasy is dripping off you in waves, much like your essence is dripping from her hand, she’s stroking that spongy spot, her spot, deep within you with every thrust, sending tingles of bliss straight into your soul. The slight twist of fingers as they bury themselves in your spasming heat has you almost feral in your need and her murmured praises are sending you higher and higher, you are right on the cusp of release. Your body arches up, nothing but your shoulder blades and the tips of your toes touching the bed, your entire being has begun to tremble. Her rhythm never falters as you plummet over the edge, your mind and body in a state of pure rapture, her name a litany from your lips.  
“CaarolCarolCaarol”
She is there, lovingly guiding you back to earth, still whispering sweet nothings to you as she shifts positions. When Carol leans back against the headboard, you follow, resting your head in the crook of her neck. Her fingers find their way into your hair, brushing the damp strands that clung awkwardly to your face behind your ear. “Every time I look at you, I can't help but hope you feel the same butterflies in your stomach when you look back at me. You make me fall in love with you all over again. I love you, Maria. And that’s why I have to leave.”
“Well, I love you too, I don’t think I could ever stop loving you, and that’s why you have to stay. This love we have is worth fighting for...anything is possible when we do it together.” you whispered to her, so close that she could feel your breath on her skin.
“Will you stay?”
A/N: Soooo??? Be honest. What you think???Let me know!!!

Once Monica finished her breakfast, she helped Carol clean up while she told her stories about her friends at school, all the inventions she'd come up with, and any other story her mind mustered up. She wanted to fill in as many blanks as possible for her other mother. Carol listened intently, taking in every moment of her daughter. She wanted to remember everything, even the things that might not seem important to other parents in different circumstances. She wanted to be able to reference these stories, prove that she remembered, that she cared enough to listen. Partly because her own parents never showed an interest, instead always finding the time to show their genuine dislike for her for whatever many reasons they had, or just disregarding her altogether. But also because Monica had always been so welcoming, so ready to receive her back like nothing had happened - or maybe like everything did happen and she still chose to hold on tight to her mother, choosing not to let the time separate them. So Carol held on tight too, wanting to prove she was reliable to the girl. She appreciated how open Monica was to her returning, but she also knew she had been gone for a long time. Longer than she should have been, she often thought. She knew that Monica was young, and might eventually change her mindset on the matter. She had every right to. It would make sense to feel some kind of way, and that scared Carol to her core. So she wanted to at least try and show up in the best way she could. Be present, be a mother - not just someone who literally drops in every now and then. She wanted to give the girl something she could hold onto, something she could trust.
Carol was always so in awe of both of the Rambeaus. Even though Maria always said that she and Monica were so much alike, she loved how much she was just like her mother too. Stubborn, but sure of herself. Interested in everything, always ready to learn and push forward - but soft, in her own way. Gentle, patient and kind. They both would go out of their way, even if it didn’t always seem like they were. She looked like her, too. Her brown eyes, her hair, the way she walked. She was just like Maria in the best ways (not that there was a bad way to be like Maria Rambeau), and also very much just herself. Just Monica, and she was the most amazing child the world had ever managed to produce. Carol was sure of it. 
When they had finished in the kitchen, Carol decided to take a shower too. The hot water should be filled up again, and she was starting to feel the leftover sweat from last night mixing with the approaching heat from the day. Monica sat on the couch and turned on some cartoons, feeling fulfilled from breakfast which made Carol feel proud of herself for a lot of reasons. Cooking was something she always struggled with because she never had anybody to teach her. Maria thinks she might just naturally be a clutz in the kitchen too, but regardless, she worked with her for years as they grew up trying to teach her how to cook, giving her the gentle instruction and patience she never had. Usually to no avail, but it was a fond memory for both of them. Carol smiled, thinking that if her success in making pancakes this morning was any indication of the kind of day she would have with her daughter, she was sure it would be a good one. She wandered back upstairs, running her hands along the walls that still had blue and purple marker stains on them in some spots. As she walked through the hallway towards her shared room, she passed Monica’s room and couldn't help but smile. The girl’s room was what anybody would expect if they’d met her. A little messy, super colorful. She had her personality everywhere. A model of the solar system she had made when she was a little younger for a school project hung from the ceiling over her bed. A stuffed animal Carol had won for her at a carnival when she was a toddler, Maria had one to match that she secretly kept hidden in the drawer next to her bed still. She had drawings on blue construction paper all over her walls, mostly of her inventions (she called them her blueprints). The one picture that was on regular white paper had the word “Family” written on it. A crayon picture of Maria and Carol, with Monica in the middle. Carol’s heart skipped a beat seeing it. She was so lucky, she thought again. She passed the door and made her way to the end of the hall with a happy stride. The day had just begun and she was already doing better than she expected. 
She stepped into the room and paused, her smile growing inward in an almost shy way. She was greeted with the scent and feel of Maria. She inhaled deeply, feeling a level of comfort roll through her body and pang in her chest. Mmm. Carol whispered to herself, almost embarrassed. But she couldn’t help it. She was everywhere. As much as they had kept Carol present in their lives, making sure she was alive and never erased from her fingerprint on the home, it had still been years since Carol had been gone so it made perfect, almost comforting sense to her that they had made it their own. They had to make it comfortable, they had to fill in the empty space. Just like Monica’s room, Maria’s was a perfect snapshot of her personality. It was well kept, everything had a place to be. If it ever did get messy, Carol was sure it didn’t last long. She looked over the room, noting the books next to the bed where Maria slept, all of them half read with bookmarks Monica had made her in them. She looked at the tray of jewelry sitting on the dresser, full of small dainty necklaces and a few pairs of stud earrings with different shapes, and a few pairs of hoops Maria would only wear if she was going out. She looked at the closet, one side open from this morning. All the clothes are organized by color, with a few boxes sitting on the top shelf. Even the bed they had slept in, it was already made perfectly to military standards with the edges tucked in perfectly - except for the top where Maria had extra pillows, all with light purple pillow cases contrasting the perfect white ones underneath.
She looked at the picture frames sitting on Maria’s perfectly organized desk as she walked over to it. On the left side was a picture of her and Monica at a park that had to be fairly recent, a picture of Maria standing outside the SWORD office smiling huge next to an older man in uniform, and a picture of Maria with her brother which must’ve been years old because Maria looked like she was in middle school maybe, making Carol reminisce about the girl she used to know. On the right side of the desk sat two pictures that didn’t face in all the way like the other two, as if they were put there intentionally but also intentionally not looked at as much. One, in a light purple frame, was Maria’s mother. Carol had never met the woman but had seen her face many times growing up in Maria’s father’s house. It was the same then, almost like the woman must have put the pictures of herself up and they didn’t have the heart to take them down, but they tried their best not to look. Next to that sat a framed picture of Carol and Maria smiling at the local bar they used to go to, their uniforms half undone and Carol’s hair out of regs with her aviators pushed back and a red bandana around her head. She remembers the bar more now, Pancho’s. She had been there with Fury and it jogged a lot of things for her, but she so badly wants to remember that day specifically. She runs her fingers close to it, but doesn’t dare to touch. She tries to remember the song they would sing together, all the lyrics. She can’t but she remembers how it felt to jump around for hours and then walk home, too drunk most times, bumping into each other and letting touches and looks linger a little too long, and then having to get up early the next day. She remembers that they would take turns walking each other to their barracks, sometimes daring to sleep in each other's rooms when they thought they might not get caught, always leaving one of them to sneak out in the morning. Carol laughs, thinking about how Maria was right last night, and how she was always better at leaving quietly than Carol.
When her eyes refocus on the photo, she can’t help but wonder how many times Maria had flipped the frame over, hiding the memory from herself. She wonders, just for a moment, if she would’ve been able to live through the grief she put her through. She would never know just how bad it was for Maria, she would never be able to see from her eyes what the woman went through or how she pulled herself out of bed every day and raised a child by herself, kept working, started SWORD. She wondered if Maria ever went back to that bar, or if she ever listened to the song again. She would never know how the woman truly felt in those years or what she did to keep herself busy, and she didn’t think she’d ever feel right asking. She wanted to think about the past few months, after everything. She wanted to think about how it must be even worse, in a way, knowing that Carol was out there saving other people while Monica grew up and Maria trudged on with no choice. She wanted to think about it but couldn’t, knowing what would happen if she let her mind attach to the thoughts and feelings. She gazed at the photo again and turned away, deciding that maybe she didn’t need to remember everything right now. 
She walked over to the box they had pulled out last night for her and started going through some clothes, looking for something to change into. She realized that while she was in space, her suit did all the work for her - she never had to worry about pulling an outfit together. It did the heating, drying, cooling, protecting her from any number of threats - all while containing her powers in a comfortable way for her. So as she sorted through her belongings, she was now also coming to the realization that it also had built in underwear. She only had two pairs of regular underwear to her name and she was wearing one of them. She frantically sifted through the big box to no avail. She questioned why she would only have two pairs of underwear, rather than all of her undergarments or none of them at all. She guessed that the Air Force had something to do with it, remembering that they had packed everything up for Maria to come pick up instead of letting her do it. She cursed them under her breath, mad that once again Maria had something taken from her, deciding that she had no option but to wear the pair of boxer briefs she had found and figure it out later. She grabbed the boxers, an old band tee shirt and a pair of jeans and headed for the bathroom. 
When she walks in the bathroom, she can hear Monica’s cartoons from the living room. 
“I’m gonna bathe myself, Lt. Trouble! Come get me if you need anything, okay?”
 She yells down. She waited to hear Monica’s response and when she didn’t she paused completely, silencing herself and the air around her, cartoons still playing. She could feel her heartbeat pick up its pace.
“Mon? Did you hear me?” 
She shouts again, a bit louder, trying not to let on to her anxiety.
“Okay Mom!”
 Monica yells back, mind focused on her shows. Carol exhaled deeply, relief flowing through her body. She chuckled at mom, gratitude buzzing through her whole body. She was still a mom to Monica and that meant more to her than she could ever explain. She added “go to therapy” on her mental to do list and started stripping.
Once all the layers were off, she chucked her socks in the pile she had made and stepped into the deep tub, pulling a purple shower cap over her hair and bending down to turn on the shower. She pulled the stop up before balancing out the water and heard the water make its way up the long pipe to the shower head slowly as she pulled the curtain closed around her. She immediately screeched, feeling freezing water run over her body. She had forgotten that Maria took cold showers in the morning to wake her up. She scrambled, trying to avoid as much of the frigid water as possible while she flipped up the hot water handle with her toes, jumping up and down, somehow not slipping. As the water began to warm and steam up, she found herself laughing. Out loud. She couldn’t stop. Captain Marvel was giggling like a child (Once again proving Maria right). She slid down and sat on her butt, pulling her knees into her chest and let the water run over her back. She eased into the warm feeling, still feeling laughter bubble up inside of her. She closed her eyes and remembered the last time she felt the shock of cold water all over her.
It was late, or maybe early. Carol felt herself getting tired, but she wanted to keep dancing. She wanted to keep singing. She wanted to keep seeing Maria, feeling her brush up against her while they danced and twirled in sloppy, drunken harmony, singing poorly to whatever song was playing. She didn’t want to go to work tomorrow just to test planes she would never get to fly outside of base. She didn’t want to sleep in her own bed, unless Maria was in it. She just wanted to keep living in this moment for as long as she could. She looked over at her equally drunk copart, dancing freely with her eyes closed. Maria rarely let loose like this, but when she did it was beautiful. She commanded the room, everyone tuning into her wavelength, feeling her all around them. She made everything beautiful, and when she was carefree, it was like no one on earth had a care in the world either. 
Maria opened her eyes to see Carol looking at her and she smiled that toothy grin she had, making the heat from Carol’s chest rise to her face. She smiled back, pushing herself closer to the woman through the people dancing around them. The dark liquor they had both been drinking was coursing through them and burning off with every move, sending sparks through both of their bodies while they watched each other bop to the music. Carol made her way over and laughed, making some comment about how only they could make old white men’s music sound this good. Maria giggled in agreeance, grabbing Carol’s hand and twirling her around. She was tired too, but she was happy to have a break. They had both been working their asses off and both felt the same frustration with the position they were seemingly stuck in. They were making their way up in rank, one then the other, every time. But two facts always remained. They were both Black Women. So the Air Force didn’t give them much reign, despite the fact that they were statistically and literally the two best pilots the Air Force had ever seen and a lot of people knew it. Despite all their talent and gusto, they did their diligence day in and day out. So, when they got the chance to be free from the monotony, they took it, hand in hand, happily. 
As Carol spun back into the woman’s arms with a heaving laugh, they both smiled at each other widely. Maria couldn’t look away, she felt stuck as her eyes moved down from her friend’s eyes to her lips. Carol surprised her by grabbing her other arm and spinning her just how she had done, and pulling her in with a dramatic dip. Everyone around them cheered, drunk too. They laughed with their bellies, feeling the song in their chests. Carol pulled Maria up slow, just as the exciting song ended. The next song started and it was slower, and most people around them coupled up, only some seeming annoyed as they made their way off the dance floor and back to the bar and stools. The two women looked around them, then at each other. They both shrugged with a small laugh, and Carol pulled Maria in to dance. She made some joke about being proper while she found her hands at Maria’s lower back, making the woman laugh as she made herself comfortable around Carol’s neck and shoulders. They laid their chins on eachother and swayed, letting the joke of it all dissipate into the air. It was moments like this that they relished in, secretly. Every now and then, they’d allow themselves a second to breathe each other in. Usually when they were drunk and their inhibitions were low. For both of them, it felt like everything melted away. Just like when they were younger and neither had been asked to the school dance, so they took each other. They shared one slow dance that night, making the excuse that it was tradition and neither should miss out on their first slow dance. They had wanted to dance together at prom, but they had both regrettably had dates for once. Maria had been asked by a boy from her science class, he played on the basketball team and told her she was pretty AND smart (wow, how romantic, Carol thought when she heard the story).
Carol hadn’t been asked but when she found out Maria said yes after being pressured by her father and not hearing Carol make a strong argument against it, Carol forced some kid from one of her classes to come with her. All four had danced that night, split into the ‘correct’ gendered pairs. Carol couldn’t keep her eyes off her bestfriend, and the feeling was mutual. During the final slow dance, they were all on the floor swaying in and out of rhythm with the song playing. Carol and Maria locked eyes and didn’t unlock them until the song was over. They had danced again during their first military ball, quietly in the back behind a pillar where no one could see them. It was unspoken but well understood. They didn’t talk about it after, they just went about their business. They always did. And they would again after tonight, carrying on like time didn’t stop when they touched like this. As the music played, Carol’s hand rubbed Maria’s back absent mindedly, while Maria rubbed small circles against Carol’s neck as they swayed, both in and out of daydreaming, both drunk and leaning a little too heavily on eachother. They both fought the urge to look up at each other, so they let their heavy heads rest on each other as they danced, feet in perfect timing with eachothers. This is what friends do, right? They were so comfortable with each other, it wasn’t weird to slow dance. Right? They almost stopped moving entirely, leaving just a small rocking between them as the music played through them, syncing their breaths. You feel so good, they both thought at the same time, almost forgetting that their freedom in this moment was due to the cognac surging through them.
When time started again and the song stopped, an upbeat one replacing it, they both lingered for a moment longer trying to hold onto the comfort they felt, and trying to collect their drunk selves. Over the sound of the music, the bartender announced last call and they looked at each other with a mischievous smirk. 
“Last one to the bar pays for the shots!” They said in unison, falling gracefully back into their routine. They ran over, both making it there at the same time, so as always they paid for each other’s shots and continued jamming to the music and letting the ambiance of the bar carry them through the rest of the night. Everyone knew everyone, so they felt safe, which was nice. As they finished their last two shots each, they both felt the drunkenness take its strong hold on them and they decided this would be their last song. They grabbed the karaoke mics that no one else wanted and belted at the top of their lungs, horribly but everyone loved it. They jumped up and down, bursting at the seams with laughter and lyrics, dancing with whoever danced with them. Once the song ended, they grabbed each other’s hands and ran for the coat rack, bounding forward despite their lack of balance. 
Pulling on their jackets, they stepped outside into the cooler air and took it in. Carol checked her watch and was astonished to see the time, despite the fact they everyone knew last call at Pancho’s meant it was 2am and the bar would be closing at 2:30. She looked over at Maria who was staring up at the sky.
“What’re you look-”
“Shh! Make a wish! Right now before you miss it!” 
Maria rushed Carol, keeping her eyes closed and her hands clasped together like she was praying, maybe even begging. Carol smiled, knowing the shooting star that must’ve passed was already gone, but she chose to believe the energy would linger for Maria and her. She closed her eyes and spent no time trying to figure out what to wish for. She knew exactly what she wanted, what she needed. They both did. Carol kept her eyes closed after she was done, letting her body relax and fully feeling the disorientation of her drunkenness. She felt woozy, almost nauseous. Maria stared at her while her eyes were shut, allowing her body to relax at the sight. She felt her body move for her, without permission. She grabbed Carol’s hand, shocking the woman’s eyes open and started running without any explanation. 
“What are you doing Rambeau? Where are we going?” 
Carol asked, confused, dizzy and feeling a familiar spike of excitement rise in her. Maria was even more daring and much less prudent when she was intoxicated. She was taking her on an adventure and she was ready to go. She would follow the woman anywhere, drunk or not.
“You’ll see. Don’t you trust me, Danvers?” 
Maria called behind her, laughing and out of breath the whole time but never stopping. Carol didn’t need to answer, they both knew the answer. They kept up laughing, thankful for all the PT they’d been forced to do by the United States military. They ran down quiet streets for a few minutes, until they made it to a dirt path with a bunch of trees, leading them off the main road. Maria looked back at Carol with an excited and sly smile. Carol pulled her hand back and made her face her. 
“You’re not trying to serial killer me, right? Where are you taking me?” 
She laughed, but meant the question.
“C’monnn.” Maria tugged, wanting to live in the moment while she could. 
“Don’t you trust me?” 
She asked again, looking in Carol’s eyes with a glint, but soft. Penetrating, Carol thought to herself. She knew she couldn’t say no, she never could. So, she smiled and signaled for Maria to keep taking her wherever she was.
“Lead the way.”
This made Maria smile excitedly, adding an extra skip in her step. They weren’t running this time but they were walking fast, Maria jumping around Carol who felt like she was in a movie or a trance, eyes never leaving Maria’s dancing body as they made their way down the dark path, leaving her feet to trust whatever path Maria made for her. Maria saw a clearing in the trees ahead of them and she started running again, creating too much space for Carol’s comfort. She snapped out of her trance and ran after the faster woman, feeling anxiety and frustration rise in her for a moment. 
“What the hell, Rambeau? It’s dark out here! You can’t just run o-” Carol started while she wiped the sweat and dust off her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw Maria standing at the edge of a lake surrounded by thick brown sand and trees. Maria waved her over and the frustration fled Carol’s body faster than it arrived. She jogged up to Maria who was already undressing, making Carol choke when she saw glimpses of Maria’s dark skin that she didn’t usually see. I mean, sure, they’d seen eachother in bathing suits and naked before, when they were kids, but it had been a while. A long while. Carol had to force her mouth shut before Maria could see it hanging open.
“Cmon, hurry up! We gotta jump in before my better judgement takes over!” 
Maria rushed as she pulled off her socks and yanked her pants the rest of the way down, pulling them over her ankles. Carol was still frozen watching her.
“Don’t tell me you’re scared Danvers? Cmon! It’ll help with the drunkenness and it’ll be a story to tell our kids!” 
Maria exclaimed, pulling her shirt over her head. All the was left was her bra and perfect light purple underwear. Carol snapped out of it and laughed.
“HA! What the hell are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re about to-”
“Skinny dip? Yes the hell I am. And so are you. Hurry up!”
Maria finished her sentence as she grabbed her hand, pulling her over and pulling the bandana off her head and tossing it with her own clothes she had made a pile of. She started pulling at Carols shirt sleeves until Carol brushed her away, laughing but really just unable to let Maria help undress her. She was suddenly feeling very shy but as always, Maria was going to get what she wanted from Carol because that’s what Carol wanted. Maria looked at her with that So, are you gonna do it or not? look that Carol was usually giving her and waited for Carol’s face to break into a smile she couldn’t help.
“I can’t believe I’m about to do this with you. Don’t cry to me when you regret it tomorrow and have to blow your hair out in the morning!” 
Carol said as she pulled her shirt over her head and exposed her own body, one that Maria wasn’t sure how to fully take in either as she fought back a smile at Carol’s comment. She thought about the last time she’d seen Carol completely naked, or at least as naked as she almost was standing there. They used to get dressed in front of each other all the time and they’d been in matching bathing suits a bunch of times growing up but it had been a while, since they weren’t rooming together in the barracks. She forced her stare away while Carol undid her pants and slid out of them, leaving only her boy shorts, a bra and socks. She kicked her socks off to match as Maria finished pulling the rest of her underwear off, and by the time they both turned around, they were stark naked in the middle of nowhere, right in front of each other.
The silence sat for a moment before they both laughed, the tension easing away like it always did. Maria grabbed Carol’s hand and ran for the water, looking back only to ask You ready? as her feet made their way into the moist sand, inching towards the cold water. Carol shot back As I’ll ever be before making her way in too. They both plunged forward, swimming out a bit but not too far. They both shot under the water and looked at eachother, grabbing hands again before popping back up. The water rolled off of them as they broke through the surface, blinking it from their eyes and feeling their hair. They laughed loudly, finding their bearings in the freezing water.
“Holy shit!” Carol swore, bobbing a bit as she figured out how to float again. Still laughing.
“More like Holy FUUUCK!” Maria shouted out with a laugh in her voice, lifting it into the trees around them. She couldn’t stop laughing, and she couldn’t stop shivering. Carol looked at her as she held her free hand that she was using to balance herself with as she floated out to Maria who happily took it in hopes it would help stabilize her as well.
“You’re a god damn maverick, Rambeau!” Carol laughed as she spun Maria around, swimming in circles trying to keep her blood pumping to warm them both up. Maria swam gracefully, still holding onto Carol’s hand. She was laughing but she was also quieter now. Carol questioned if it was the cold or if it was whatever made her jump into a freezing lake anyway. She pulled her back in and held her hand tight as she pulled her onto her back, pressing her front to her back and taking deep breaths trying to stay warm while still enjoying the fluidity of movement the water provided. They both felt like they were flying, finally.
“What’s going on in your head?” Carol asked as she swam in different directions for a little bit, back and forth as Maria clung to her back, clearly the drunker of the two now. The shock of the water had helped to sober them both up but Carol always had a higher tolerance to alcohol as it was. She was still drunk but not as drunk as her bestfriend, whos head was resting on top of Carol’s wet curls. She knew the humidity and however she planned to get sleep that night wouldn’t help with her process in the morning.
“I just want to fly. I just wanna feel free, you know?” Maria started, not exactly slurring her words but they weren’t as uniform with her natural cadence as they usually were. Carol nodded slightly with a Mhm to assure Maria that she was listening.
“I just… I just wish we could do whatever we wanted to do. I’m so tired of living by the same rules every day. I wish I could just fly into space and stay there, sometimes, you know?” Carol smiled at the thought of Maria being able to fly how she was meant to. High up, above the clouds. Away from everyone and everything that constantly tried to tie her feet to the ground. She did know, she felt the same way about herself.
“You’d leave me here on earth to deal with these bastards?” Carol asked, joking but also not. Maria half laughed, half hiccuped at the thought.
“Wherever I am, you are too. That’s how it’s always going to be, Danver’s. I fly, you fly. You fly, I fly. That’s never gonna change.” Maria said, meaning it. She was always more emotionally open when she was drunk and Carol almost felt bad listening to her, knowing she wouldn’t normally open up like this - especially naked, freezing, clinging to her best friends back with all her might and drunk in a lake they had no business being in. But she couldn’t help but revel in what the woman was saying. She felt the same.
“I know. I know. Come on, lets go home.” Maria wanted to put up a fight but she was shivering and suddenly very sleepy, so she let Carol swim them to shore. When they got out the water, the warm air offered some support in their drunken attempts to pull on their clothing over wet and suddenly sand covered bodies. They weren’t sure if they were putting on the right things but they knew it was covering their important parts and that’s what matters. 
“Can we stay at look at the stars for a little bit?” Maria asked, even though she was the one in charge, whether she knew it or not. Carol knew it. She nodded, knowing it wasn’t a good idea but one she couldn’t deny the soft woman in front of her. She spread their jackets out on the beach for them to lay down and they both did just that, scotting their bodies close to each other instinctively. They peered up at the stars above them, seeing them clearly in the huge circle the trees made. It was perfect, they both thought. Some moments went by before Carol asked a question.
“What did you wish for earlier?”
“Shh. I can’t tell or it won't come true. It was something I’ve always wanted, so it has to come true.” She explained, sleep and bourbon clouding her voice.
“Mine too.” Carol whispered, her own eyes growing heavy. They held hands and both thought that the other woman must’ve wished for them to finally be able to do their jobs the right way, to be able to fly for real. Little did they both know they were wishing for the same thing. Each other.
They laid there, staring at the stars until they weren’t. Sleep came easy for them that night, as odd as it was. It got odder when they woke up, facing each other with only a nose length between their faces, feeling the warm sting of the sun in their eyes. They looked at eachother and started laughing until they heard the familiar sound of security keys dangling and a radio in the nearing distance. They knew it had to be the wannabe cops that patrolled the area and they knew it was their time to get the hell out of there. They ran back down the same path and back onto the main road until they made it to Pancho’s. They slowed to a casual pace after that, trying not to draw attention to themselves even though they had sand all over and their hair was nowhere near what it looked like the previous night. They walked, quietly, but happily together back to the barracks and passed out in Maria’s room. She wanted the comfort of her own space to ease through her impending hangover, but she needed the comfort of Carol’s arms too. Carol put up no fight, trying not to be too obvious that she wanted to be there too. Though she’d never tell, Maria positioned herself perfectly to be held and went right to sleep.
Carol stayed up until she fell asleep like she always did, making sure she was on her side in case she threw up or needed water. She watched as Maria slept, looking like she was floating again. She was so beautiful and Carol was so tired. She laid down and held the woman, her arms perfectly fitting into the space that was left, like it was made for her. They slept most of the day away and when Carol woke up, she set medicine next to Maria’s bed and snuck out, quieter than normal. She thought about what Maria had said when she was in the water as she walked back to her room to take care of her own hangover and messed up fro’. She promised herself that day that no matter where she flew, she would make sure Maria would be there too. Behind that promise, she knew that she would follow Maria to the end of the earth, even the end of the universe without a second thought. She tried to shake some self respect back into her own dreams, smiling despite herself and went to sleep. She dreamed of Maria, because Maria was her dream.
Carol’s day dreaming was interrupted by a cold surge through the shower head again, and the sound of the downstairs sink running before being cut off. Her super hearing alerted her to the sound of Monica filling a cup and going to sit back down. She buzzed under the cold water before it eased back into the warmth she had set for herself. She felt more fond of the cold now. She stood back up and washed her body, letting the water run over her face. The soap smelled like both Monica and Maria and she felt comfort knowing she would smell like them now, too. She finished up and got out, drying herself with her powers instead of making more laundry for herself with the towels she had been looking at the night before. She grabbed her clothes and located her underwear and bra from the pile. 
When she grabbed the pair of boxers, she looked at the inside hem and saw “DANVERS” written in smudged black sharpie on the white tag. She laughed with an edge of old frustration, remembering how she had to do that because people kept stealing her underwear in the laundry room as a prank because her and Maria had ranked up before a few of the other men in their unit. Maria’s clothes never got stolen, but they didn’t refrain from trying to get to her in other ways. None of which she ever humored, but Carol knew it got to her a few times. Some of the guys had called them ‘lesbos’ a few times, and eventually it evolved into the d slur. Both pilots always had different comebacks that consistently left the immature weasels with little to say back. Carol knew both of those words well having heard them most of her life, and she had taught herself not to internalize it.
Maria, on the other hand, let the first one roll off her for the most part - but the second one sometimes picked at scabs she had long covered up. Scabs she wasn’t ready to look at yet. They both decided not to report the harassment because it would probably end up worse if they did, and eventually it died down. They both continued to rise in ranks slowly but surely, and finally Mar-Vell came and they felt some reprieve from the monotony they were used to. Carol shivered at the thought of what came after that, though. 
She slid the rest of her clothes on and walked back into the bedroom. She put her dirty clothes in the laundry basket next to the closet for her to do later, and walked back over to the box of her things. She’d seen a bunch of stuff Monica had shown her the first time she came home, but she wanted to know what was in the other boxes Maria had kept. She went through the bottom of the box that had her clothes in it not finding anything she hadn’t already seen, and then pulled open the other one they had left out. She presumed this is one Maria hadn’t shown Monica as it had light dust on it when she opened it.
She sifted through, halfway hoping to find another pair of underwear, but instead she found a bunch of papers and trinkets. Some necklaces and a silver chain bracelet, wristbands from carnivals and bars they had been to together, a pair of dice from a board game they had stolen from a store one time when they were younger and had kept as they grew up. She ran her hands over everything, trying to take in as much of her former self as she could like she always did when she had the chance. She fumbled at the bottom of the box and pulled out a bunch of papers, some folded, some grocery lists with toiletries and snacks crossed off here and there, some half done crossword puzzles that Carol was never good at, and a few opened envelopes. She sat the rest down and looked over each envelope with care. 
Some had cards in them, birthday and christmas cards, one from valentines day. All of them had silly characters or jokes on the front. They had made a good habit of buying each other cheesy cards for every holiday they could think of, Carol strained to remember as she read through them. She rubbed her finger over Maria’s perfect signature, wondering if she kept the ones Carol had gotten her, too. She filed through the papers curiously, flipping through piece after piece of paper that held a small snapshot of moments in her life. Mundane, ordinary moments. She cherished them, and she was grateful to both Maria for keeping them and herself for never being organized and keeping all this stuff that most people would’ve eventually thrown away or allowed themselves to misplace over time. Her eyes fixed on a thicker envelope. She grabbed it, reading the red script labeled across the front.
To: Danvers
From: Rambeau ♡ 
Carol smiled at the little heart Maria had drawn next to her last name. She opened the letter, finding another heart on the back of the envelope where it was once sealed. Carol reads over the letter, feeling emotion and memory rise up in her chest, spreading through her whole body. The letter is dated, of course because Maria is ever punctual. It was from when they had been stationed at two separate bases for the first few months. It was agony for both of them, being in two separate states. Carol had sent Maria a letter when she first arrived, thinking she would be the first one to write. She was shocked, however, to find a letter waiting for her when she arrived at the post office on base. She had opened it the second she got back to her barracks room. It was an envelope inside an envelope, the outer one having had their full names and ranks and official military postage, the second one having the cute little hearts Maria drew perfectly when she wrote. Again, she was softer than most people expected her to be.
The letter expressed pretty much exactly what Carol had in hers, which came to no surprise to either of them when they both read what the other had sent. They were always on the same wavelength. They both had so much more they needed to say, but they were so grateful to hold something physical that the other had taken time to write for the other.  Maria asked how Carol was doing, explained what had been going on with her, and complained about the men on base per usual. Just as if they were together in person. 
As Carol read through it, she laughed, probably how she had the first time, at a lot of the letter. Towards the end though, she felt a tight ball of heat sitting in her chest restricting her breathing. She almost couldn’t read through what was left of the letter. Was she embarrassed? 
“Anyways, I hope you’re still kicking ass. I KNOW you are, that always came easy to you. 
I hope we can call soon, hopefully without being interrupted by the other idiots needing to use the phone every single time you do. I can’t believe there's only four on your base and only two that actually work (what happened to ‘The Air Force’s finest?’). You’d think with all the money the military has.. You know. I know it’s hard for both of us to find the time right now but I just really miss you, Carol. I miss shitty karaoke a lot, I can’t do it with these clowns here without you. Friday nights just aren’t the same haha. I miss renting the same movies every weekend and staying up all night eating too much. I even watched Fame the other day without you. I still hate it but it was nice, I just wish you were here to act out all the scenes. And I’ll deny it if you ever tell anybody, but I even miss your shitty cooking (burn this after reading), and not just because it makes it easier for me to be the better cook, but just because it’s you. I never used to hate writing letters but I do now, because it reminds me how far they have to travel to get to you. I hate that we’re not together, we’ve always been together. And as much as I act like I know what I’m doing, sometimes I feel lost without you here. And I know we’ve been pretending everything is the same but it isn’t, at least not for me. I wish we had more time to talk before you left. I wish we had more time in general. Damn the Air Force. Regardless, I just want you to know that I love you. And I’m so proud of you. I always am.
It’ll all be better soon. I believe that, just like you always do. We’ll be up in the air in no time. I’ll meet you up there. I’ll be the one whipping by you. Catch up if you can.
Take good care of yourself, because I’m not there to do it for you. 
You’re the best damn pilot in the Air Force (second only to me, of course), and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise! Call me when you get the chance. And hurry up and write back!
Always, 
Rambeau.
Ps. Things wont always be this way. Don’t forget that. And don’t forget that round of shots you owe me, either, goofball.”
Carol felt the heat of a blush running to her cheeks. She was thankful for her dark complexion hiding it, although no one was there to see her anyways. Why did she feel so giddy, and also… embarrassed? She felt like she was reading someone’s diary, even though the letter was clearly addressed to her and she had already read it. Years ago. She scanned over the text again, regarding Maria’s perfect handwriting. She felt like she was reading a love letter. Maybe it was, but she was too anxious to entertain the thought too much. She wasn’t exactly sure what that would mean, and she wasn’t sure if this year's old letter still even meant anything other than friendship.
Maria had been tight lipped about a lot of stuff, even though she pretended like she wasn’t. Her and Monica always answered Carol’s questions openly, happily for the most part unless it was about the ‘missing period’. They all tried to avoid that subject now, as time had gone by, but they all also knew that it would come up naturally sometimes and it couldn’t be left unanswered all the time. Aside from that, to the untrained eye, it seemed like Maria was willing to give up any bit of information that would help get them all back to how they used to be or at least help figure out what life looked like moving forward. But Carol knew better, she had a very well trained eye for Maria Rambeau, it was second nature for her - with or without the gaps in her memory. There had been a few moments,  just brief enough to almost miss, since Carol came back the first time with Fury and even more recently on some of her visits, when the unshakeable Maria had gotten flustered or nervous, where the heat currently in Carol’s cheeks had been in hers. When her heart threatened to beat so hard it would leap from her chest. Granted, she hid it well but again, Carol could always see through her. She seldom was at a loss for words or made quick, messy cover ups in conversation. Usually the people around them didn’t even notice. Monica didn’t even catch it, or at least didn’t acknowledge it. It happened once or twice when Carol and Maria were alone, too. Carol knew things like that only happened when Maria felt unsure, or when she really didn’t want to talk about something. Anyone who had ever met Maria knew she was as straightforward as they come, so that’s what made Carol pay extra attention when she was avoiding something. 
The thoughts of romance danced around Carol’s brain tauntingly, aching for her to pull them forward and examine them. But knowing how Maria was, and knowing that she only got that way when she was purposefully avoiding something, Carol settled on a quiet feeling of rejection instead - against her better judgment. She let it swell through her, enflaming the previous feelings of embarrassment right along with it. She put the letter away, resigning that she should just be thankful to have a friend who cares for her so much and that she wouldn’t allow herself to think anything else. She did this often, rejected herself before other people could to avoid the stinging feeling of embarrassment or disappointment her parents and the people she grew up with often supplied her with.
Maria never made her feel that way, and maybe that's why she would accept this quiet, self imposed feeling now instead of facing it in person with the other woman. She couldn’t risk ruining something she had just gotten back, anyways. Right? Right, she forced herself to agree in her head. She decided to go find Monica and clear her head of the letter. As she walked out, she glanced at the picture of Maria and the child again and sighed softly, letting a small smile of gratitude cover her face. This could be enough for her, if she would let it be.
Monia was sitting on the couch still, no longer paying any mind to the tv playing in the background. She was eagerly reading through the huge phone book they usually had sitting on the coffee table, bracing it against her bended knees as she flipped through the yellow pages quickly. 
“What’re you looking for, Lt. Trouble?”
“Someone who sells the parts I need for my next invention! What letter do you think that would be under?”
Carol laughs, deciding to humor the girl.
“Hmm, you know I’m not sure. Have you tried under sales? Or maybe…a junkyard?”
“I could try the junkyard! I didn’t try that yet!”
“Maybe I can get you a hook up from Fury, orrrr maybe your mom knows someone at her job? What’re you even looking for?”
“I already asked her last week! She said she would check but I think she was just saying that. Here’s my list.”
Monica handed Carol a surprisingly long list, with a few things checked off that Carol assumed were already laying around the house. She wondered if Maria knew that these things had been checked off, which gave her a good chuckle. She set the list down and turned to Monica.
“Okay, I think I can get you some of these but the bigger things are definitely gonna need some work. Maybe we can roll down to the junkyard this week?”
“YES! And no take-backsies!”
“Wouldn’t dare. How about you come help me handle the laundry and dishes and then we can head outside?”
“Deal. I think you might need help figuring out the detergent set up Ma’ has anyways. She’s very particular.” 
Monica explains, leaping up into action and grabbing Carol’s hand to pull her along.
Monica was right, Maria had a very elaborate and strict laundry system. The two of them likely didn’t get it exactly right but they did their best to pay attention to details neither of them really cared about but knew Maria did, wanting not only to please and respect Maria, but also wanting to avoid what she would have to say about it if they got it wrong or chose to ignore it. Carol tried to use her powered speed and agility to help make the process move quicker, but it only hindered the experience. She noted that the chance to move slowly and be mindful was probably why Maria seemed to enjoy the routine of laundry and such. It probably helped calm her down and help her be present after long days working to protect the whole world, while still having to be a full time mom to a rather rambunctious child, on top of whatever anxiety Carol added throughout her week. She smiled and decided to try and match the attentiveness. Her and Monica spent a while switching between loading and unloading, doing the dishes left over from dinner last night and breakfast - eventually returning to sort and fold the clean clothes and linens. It smelled lovely in the laundry room, reminding both of them of Maria. It comforted them in a way only she could. 
Once they finished with the inside chores, they decided to mix and match to-do lists. Monica needed to catch some frogs just as much as Carol needed to mow the lawn, she insisted. Carol agreed to help her catch some frogs if she would agree to help her patch up some of the paint that Maria had been avoiding doing. They shook on it, running off into the field that would be mowed down later in the day. They went at it excitedly, jumping around in the tall grass and dirt, painting not so gracefully and splattering white paint on each other by “accident”.
By the time they finished the side of the house and Monica had caught, released and named at least eight frogs that she swore were all different despite being nearly identical, they had both created more laundry to do and were both definitely in need of a bath but neither minded in the slightest. Even once they were done, they chased each other around tirelessly until Monica was hiccupping and giggling at the same time. Carol marveled at Monica’s intrinsic wonder and love at the world around her. In her Hero heart, watching it solidified her sense of duty to protect the galaxy, making sure nothing and no one could ever bring harm to the world her daughter so loved. But in her Carol heart, it made her giddy too. Almost envious in a way. She missed the days when she could roll around in a yard and only worry about trying not to crush too many bugs. Now she had to worry about whether someone was going to crush a planet or not. She often longed for a childhood she never really had, and sometimes even the one she did have when she could piece it together. She knew it wasn’t a good one, but she had Maria. She just had Maria. And now Monica does too, and god was she glad about it. 
Carol picked the younger girl up and flew her to the front porch in a flash, something Maria would swear she didn’t approve of as she fought back her own giggles. Monica shouted with pure glee as her feet landed back on the wood she knew well. They zipped in the house and ran to the kitchen, ready for lunch. Monica decided she would handle making it, promising Carol the best turkey and cheese sandwich she would ever have. Or at least better than she could make herself.
“Mayo or mustard Mama?”
Carol beamed a grin across her face, feeling a familiar hot blush swipe across her at the word mama but she tried to play it cool.
“I want whatever you’re having, Trouble!”
Carol responded happily, only after registering the fact that she hated mustard and hoped that Monica did too. She watched as the girl ran through the kitchen, leaving a small mess across different surfaces. She whipped up the two sandwiches like she did it very often, and sat two plates down in front of Carol with a big toothy smile. 
“Wa-La! The Trouble special!” 
She exclaimed, nudging the sandwich to Carol and taking a big bite out of her own, leaving a smudge of mayo on the inner side of her finger. Thank god, Carol laughed to herself. Before she could remind the girl to make sure she cleaned up, Monica was already stacking up her ingredients and propping open the fridge with her foot. This made the woman smile, knowing she had probably heard one too many times from Maria about cleaning up after herself. 
“Take a bite!” Monica mumbled, chewing down another bite herself and gesturing to Carol with her hands. Carol bit into the sandwich and began mimicking the fancy chefs they would watch on tv together.
“Mmm! Magnificent work yet again, Chef Rambeau!”
Monica smiled before straightening her face and standing up straight before taking a bow, nearly dropping her own sandwich. They both laughed and enjoyed their sandwiches, Carol deciding to sneak Monica a coke in thanks for making the best sandwich she’d ever had, saying "this ones on me” and promising to tell Maria she drank them if she asks. Once they both finished and decided that Monica won the burping contest, they decided to tackle the lawn and climb the tree. Monica ran back outside like she had all the energy in the world, and Carol followed behind at a much slower pace as if she didn’t literally have all the energy in the world.
They took turns pushing the mower up and down the huge yard in different directions, trying to make different drawings with the pattern it created. Carol figured Maria wouldn’t mind much. Once they finished, both sweating under the direct heat of the sun, they were both happy to have some reprieve when they made their way over to the trees. Carol laid down in the grass underneath the biggest tree, grateful for the shade it provided.
She breathed deep, taking in the soft wind that was blowing. It wasn’t as humid as she had expected, another thing she was grateful for. Monica plopped herself next to her, pulling up her tee shirt sleeves to match Carol’s rolled up sleeves. She poked at the tan line appearing where the shirt sat for most of the day. Carol pointed to her own, kind of happy to have a tan to her brown skin again. She spent a lot of time in her suit, so it always felt nice to have regular clothes on. She thought about how the sun on earth felt so different than on other planets, who all had different sources of heat and light. She looked over at Monica, who was now laying down too, watching a lady bug crawl through her hands. She was brighter than the sun, Carol thought, before she pushed her sunglasses up her forehead to tangle in her fro’ again.
“So, you’re gonna conquer the big one today, huh?”
“Absolutely. Mom always gets nervous so she told me to wait until you came home again. The whole super power thing and stuff.”
Monica rolled her eyes and continued looking at the lady bug with curiosity.
“Well, she kinda has a point kiddo. Let’s do it.”
Monica jumped to her feet, pausing only to gently place the lady back in the grass and hopped over to the foot of the tree. She walked around it, looking for the perfect place to start. She found her footing and called Carol over to spot her from behind.
“Alright, pay attention and be careful. Let me know if you get stuck, okay?”
“Gotcha gotcha. If I get stuck, will you fly up to me?” 
Monica asked while climbing up the first couple inches, hoisting herself up to find a sturdy hand hold between two branches and bracing her legs against either side. 
“We’ll see.”
Carol watched intently, squinting her eyes against the sun and smiling with her teeth, hands ready to catch Monica. The girl climbed up a few feet and held on tight.
“So, this is how far I got last time with Mom. I just have to streeetchhhhh over to the next branch.”
“You got this, just pretend your arms are made of elastic and reach.”
Monica tried a few times to stretch over with no success, before deciding to just leap as far as she could to connect her hands. Carol’s heart nearly jumped out her chest, not even realizing her own feet had ended up off the ground, floating next to the girl who had successfully made the jump. She smiled at her mom, ignoring the small scratches on her forearms that were starting to bleed just a little bit.
“Jesu- Good job, Trouble! Just maybe tell me next time?”
“We’ll see.”
Monica shot back with that same toothy grin her mother has. She made her way up the rest of the tree and sat on the highest branch she felt comfortable with, kicking her feet with pride. Carol decided to climb the tree next, doing it with ease to meet Monica on the branch. She sat on the one next to it, as to not add too much weight. 
“Why didn’t you just fly or float or something?” 
“That would be cheating! Plus, I wanna be as cool as you are. I wish I had a camera so we could show your mom!”
“I’ll just have to do it again!”
“Sounds like a plan, kiddo.”
Carol laughed, squeezing Monica’s cheek just a bit before letting her climb on her shoulders to fly back down and head to the house to clean up. 
After washing up, they decided to play some video games for a bit until it was time to start setting up for dinner. They had about two hours until Maria got home and they both wanted to at least be started on food when she arrived. Monica pulled out all her favorites and told Carol to pick which one to play first. They took turns picking after the first few rounds of operation, shutes and ladders, and jenga - all of which Monica won.
Carol insisted on playing something she had a fighting chance at, so they grabbed the deck of cards from the coffee table and played Go Fish. Carol won the first round, but Monica won the last three. Finally, admitting full defeat, Carol asked if they had anymore games. Monica grabbed two more from where they kept them, splaying them on the table. Carol’s eyes caught something familiar, pulling it to herself without a thought. She stared at the worn box and tried to remember. Monica watched, offering an explanation just as Carol was finding one of her own.
“Mom says she always used to beat you at this. She wouldn’t play it with me for a while but one day she brought it out after dinner and taught me. She beat me too the first two times, but I beat her after that. You wanna play?”
Carol wasn’t sure if she was biting back a smile, a laugh, or tears. She nodded and let Monica set the board up. Monica read the instructions out loud just in case Carol didn’t remember it, which Carol wasn’t sure if she did. She decided to just play and see what sticks. Monica handed her the light blue piece without asking, and Carol saw that it had her initials written on it. She watched as Monica sorted through the colors, passing over the purple one that had M.R written on it. She felt a tug in her heart as she watched Monica choose the red one that had a small, barely legible M.R on it too. She watched as Monica pulled out cards and then a set of white and black dice. Carol stood up abruptly, leaving Monica no time to question it.
“Hang on, there’s two pieces missing. I’ll go grab them.”
Carol ran upstairs almost embarrassingly fast and b-lined for the box she had looked through earlier. She grabbed the two colorful die she had left there earlier and headed back downstairs, feeling a mixture of excitement and belonging, along with a deeper, quieter sense of yearning. 
Her and Monica played several rounds, Monica winning the first one until Carol remembered all her strategies from all the times she had beat Maria’s ass at the game. Carol agreed to another game, rolling the dice first since she lost the last round. She rolled doubles, and took her turn. While Monica was doing her lucky roll ritual of blowing on the dice and kissing her small hands, Carol felt herself slipping into a memory she had long displaced. She let herself remember slowly, recalling the reason the dice had even been separated from the game board in the first place. 
“You take the board, I’ll take the dice. That way, we both have a piece, neither of us can play, and then no one else gets the chance to whoop your ass. That’s reserved for my talents.”
Carol laughed, but she was being serious. She was desperate to hold onto anything that could be just for them. Something she could carry in her pocket shamelessly, that no one would understand if they saw. They might think she had a gambling addiction or something, no one would suspect she was trying to hold onto any remnants she could of the woman she loved in her everyday life. She watched as Maria chuckled, probably formulating a sarcastic comeback, Carol assumed with a smirk. Maria never just accepted defeat, that's why they had played the game so many times. 
“Sounds good to me, Danvers. I wouldn’t let anybody else win, anyway.” 
Maria quipped back, knowing she never actually let the other woman win but she couldn’t resist making her think about the possibility. She, too, was happy to keep as many tangible reminders of what they had with her. They both had been fighting with themselves for their friendship to be enough, that having that ripped away from them sent them both reeling. She rubbed her finger over the ripped up pricing sticker on the back of the box waiting for Carol to respond.
“Yeah, OKAY. Like hell you let me win. No one loses that many times, THAT bad and is just letting-”
Maria wrapped her arms around the other woman, letting the box and a few pieces fall out on her bed. She held on tight and fought against sniffling. She wouldn’t let herself let it go. Let her go. She felt Carol choke on the words she didn’t get to finish and relax her body into the embrace. It was almost too relaxed. Neither wanted to admit they were fighting back tears that might never stop flowing if they let them start.
Carol didn’t mind being cut off, she was just finding words to string together anyway. There really wasn’t time for small talk but what else were they supposed to do? Leave it up to Maria to figure it out. To do the thing no one else would. To make the move everyone was afraid to - the one Carol was afraid too. Most people thought Carol was the fearless one just based off her usual demeanor and what people saw her do. Little did they know that she had never been more terrified than in this moment. Not knowing when they’d be able to play the game again. Not knowing when they would be able to touch like this again. Not knowing anything other than that they were afraid and loved each other so deeply.
They sat like that for longer than they both figured they should’ve, but neither felt any regret or shame in the moments as they piled up. They both ignored the awkward angle they were in, they both ignored the sounds outside the barracks room, they both ignored the clock as it ticked cruelly forward. They sank into each other, both laying their chins on the other's shoulder, letting the sides of their faces touch. It was close enough to look over and kiss. Neither dared to let the thought get too loud, choosing to let the contact be enough. It always had to be just enough, between them.
They didn’t say much after that, just small hums and sniffles here and there as they rocked slowly trying to find any sort of comfort they could. They laid down after a while, and before Maria could protest through her tears, Carol promised she would get up early enough to make it back to her room before the bus left the base. They laid there, quietly fighting sleep, wrapped as close together as they could be. Maria kept her face down and her forehead on Carol’s chest, Carol kept her arm under Maria’s neck and pulled her as close as she could with the other. Eventually she reached for Maria’s hand, this time it was her turn to do the thing that they both needed someone to do. Maria eventually cried herself to sleep, and Carol stayed up just rocking her softly until the sun came up. 
When she stood up to leave, grabbing her bags and smoothing a hand over her braid, Maria turned over to take her in. She tried to glare at her, but it softened itself against her will into a sad smile. 
“Don’t you dare leave without saying goodbye, Danvers.” 
They both felt a warm tear or two tear itself across their cheeks. Carol tried her best to match the smile Maria was bravely offering her but it came off even weaker. She walked over and kissed the woman on the forehead before turning to leave, afraid that if she stayed even a minute longer she would never leave. Thoughts of going AWOL floated through her head for the billionth time since she had gotten her orders four days ago. She fought them off with as much strength as she could muster and took another step into the door frame.
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”
She felt the glare of a rising sun sear into her eyes and she stepped through the threshold, choosing not to look back at the woman on the bed she had just left. Maria wondered if she would’ve looked back either, as she let herself curl into herself and let out the sobs she was fighting back before. She silenced them as best as she could and stayed that way until she had to get up, leaving her no choice but to pull herself together into something that resembled the woman she was just a few days before. 
Carol stood outside the door, trying hard not to listen for Maria for a moment before forcing her feet forward. Step after step, more tears fell from her as she grit her teeth to fight back the screams sitting in her chest. She, too, had to be put together in the next few minutes and it seemed the most impossible task. It almost was.
“Ma’? It’s your turn.”
Carol shook her head, only then registering the wetness in her eyes. She picked up the dice and rolled them, trying to refocus on the game infront of her. She shouted when she rolled doubles again, meaning she got to go twice now.
“Looks like I still got it, afterall!”
“Yeah.. sure. Let’s ignore that I beat you all the other times.” 
Monica laughed out, observing the change in her mother.
“I was just letting you win!”
Carol laughed, mostly to herself, as she moved the blue piece across the board.
“That’s what mom always says. I don’t believe her and I definitely don’t believe you!”
Monica shot back playfully. This made them both laugh, knowing it was true. Some things don’t change.
They kept playing a few turns until Monica finally decided to ask the question she had been formulating the whole game so far.
“What were you thinking about?”
“What do you mean?”
“Just now, after you took your first turn. It seemed like you weren’t really here for a little bit.” 
Monica, just like her mother, ever to the point. Carol hesitated before choosing to just answer truthfully.
“Sometimes, when I’m home with you guys or even when I’m out there in space.. If I touch something, or smell something or someone says a certain somethin’... I remember stuff. Sometimes its just a quick second in my mind, sometimes its like flashbacks. I have a lot of rememberin’ to do, so sometimes I get stuck trying to see it clearly.”
Monica stared at the woman in front of her with understanding eyes. She waited a moment before responding.
“That makes sense, you know. I heard on TV that amnesia can make it take a while to get all your memories back.”
Carol shifted in her seat at the word amnesia, because it was so medical. She never actually did get checked out by a doctor on earth, trying to avoid a conversation about why she was super charged 24/7. She didn’t want to draw attention to her family but she had heard the word being tossed around by Fury and Maria a few times. She nodded at Monica, motioning for the girl to take her turn as they talked. Monica continued.
“Ya’know… I like when you remember stuff. Sometimes I get sad thinking you don’t know all the stuff I do. But then I just remember that it's still in there somewhere. There’s a lot of good stuff waiting for you.”
The girl smiled reassuringly, finishing her turn and deciding to pat Carol’s hand softly just like her mom does to her when she’s upset by something.
“You’re pretty smart, you know that?”
“Of course I know that. I’m actually a genius, but that’s all just semantics.”
“You got me there, kiddo.”
Carol said while rolling the dice again and moving her pieces. She might actually win this round.
“If you ever have any questions about stuff, you can just ask me. Mommy doesn’t always tell you or me everything, but I remember. Sometimes I think I know more than both of you combined.” 
Monica smirked, looking over the board calculating precisely how to take Carol out now that she had her where she wanted her. She took her turn calmly, trying not to alert Carol to her master plan. Carol watched mindlessly as the girls piece glided across the board. Maybe she wouldn’t win this round, actually.
“That would be nice, Mon. Thanks. You can ask me stuff too. Also, just spare me and take me out now!”
Carol smirked back, knowing she would have to roll doubles again to beat the red piece.
“It’s no fun if you just give up!”
Carol decided to do Monica’s good luck trick this time, blowing on each die separately and then kissing her hands when she brought them together. She tossed them on the board aimlessly, trying not to focus on the numbers so she didn’t jinx it. They both watched as both die rolled a 3.
“No way!”
“Haha! Maybe your lucky trick does work!” 
Carol laughed as she moved her piece past Monica’s and into the goal. Finally, a win. She stood up and did a goofy dance around the table like Monica had done before her when she was winning. They both started the giggles again, deciding it was probably time to start cleaning up and getting everything ready for dinner.
As they sorted through the cabinets together, Monica standing on the counter despite what her mother would say, Monica began telling Carol stories to see if she could help jog her memory since Carol hadn’t asked any questions yet. She ran through her baby years, her toddler years - especially her ‘troublesome two’s’ as Maria calls them, and everything up until when Carol went missing. They both chose not to talk about why there was such a gap in time. Carol listened quietly, laughing here and there when the story almost always resulted in some hilarious mishap on Carol and Monica’s part. Monica felt successful as she could see her mom piecing things together while they attempted to boil noodles and mix together pasta sauce on the stove. They both tried to keep it from getting messy, not wanting to add any stress to Maria’s plate when she got home. 
Monica told as many stories as she could while Carol took them in happily, filing some away to focus on later when she could fully process them. They were all happy moments, usually funny. It was nice to know that life was good before the accident. Finally, when they started grating the cheese together, Monica decided she would ask some questions now since she had told so many stories. She had a lot she wanted to know too. 
“Here, you do this one and I’ll do this one. Just be careful with the grater, it can get tricky towards the end.” 
Carol motioned to Monica as she walked over to the table with a bowl to put the cheese in when they were done. Carol picked up some cheese and got to work, being mindful herself. Just because cuts healed up quickly for her didn’t mean they didn’t sting when she got them. She knew this well, especially being in a kitchen. Monica started grating too, trying to perfectly time her question. She had been through the boxes upstairs too, always making sure to leave them how she found them so she didn’t tip her mother off. She never understood why she kept them private from her like she didn’t already know about most of the stuff in there. 
“So, why don’t you and mom kiss anymore?”
Carol’s hand skidded to a stop, a choke coming up her throat that ended in a cough she could barely get out. She stood there stunned for a moment, unsure if she had heard the girl correctly. She didn’t notice the small cut on the side of her finger from the edge of the grater yet.
“W-what?”
“Why don’t you and mommy kiss anymore? I don’t know why she keeps all that stuff in the boxes upstairs a secret like I didn’t always see you guys. It was normal when you guys acted normal, now it’s weird seeing you two act different. Did you guys get into a fight or something?”
Carol was still too stunned to speak, standing over the more than half grated cheese that was now no good to use since her finger was bleeding a bit more. Monica looked up at her and noticed the blood, then stared at her with those same curious eyes, only now a touch of concern in them. Carol could feel the stare so she forced herself to shake her head again, clearing her throat in the process.
“I, um, I don’t really know what you’re talking about I don’t think.”
“Right. Here, your blood is ruining the cheese.”
Monica handed her a towel. Carol looked down and finally noticed all the blood. It wasn’t a crazy amount but definitely enough to have ruined the cheese. She wrapped the towel around it and walked to the sink, rinsing it off with cool water while she felt like she was in a daze. She started thinking about the letter Maria had sent her again. She read through the words in her head again, over and over while the water stung her finger. She could hear Monica in the back cleaning up her mess and she felt bad. She felt bad for ruining a part of dinner per usual, but also for reacting this way. And for not actually having an answer. She couldn’t have been sure before this but now she could.
Maybe? Maybe Monica meant cheek kissing or forehead kisses. Maybe her child mind was more innocent than Carol’s confused one. She turned the water off and looked in the junk drawer for some bandaids. She pulled out a pink barbie one and wrapped it tight over her new cut. It would probably be gone in a few hours but she wanted the security of the bandaid in the moment. For some reason, she felt shaken up again. Her face felt hot and her chest felt tight. She turned back to Monica who was finishing up her grating now, adding it into the bowl. As Carol walked back over to grab it to put with the rest of the food, she was searching for something to say in response that actually made sense. Before she could get anything out, Monica chimed in again.
“I’m sorry I asked, I wasn’t sure if it would make you feel funny. But please don’t tell mom I was snooping. I just wanted to see as much of you as I could. But she’ll be upset with me if you tell, I think.”
“Don’t worry about it, Trouble. Secrets safe with me.” 
Carol said, smiling weakly at the girl. Monica did feel bad, but she also kind of knew this would be the reaction Carol would have. It only confirmed one of her theories, that Carol didn’t remember that her and Maria were in a relationship. She was almost tempted to say something else when they both heard the sound of Maria’s car pull in the long drive way. They looked at each other and nodded quickly. Monica started cleaning off the table while Carol started making plates. Finally, something her super speed could help with. She made all three plates and set them on the table right as Maria opened the front door. Monica ran over to her, hugging her tightly as she hung her bag on the rack near the door. She hugged back, running her hand softly over the girls forehead with a smile. 
“Smells good in here. Did Monica cook?” Maria laughed, kicking off her work shoes and slipping on the sandals she wore around the house. 
“Haha, very funny!”
Carol shouted from the kitchen where she was borderline having a panic attack, trying to figure out how to act normal enough to get through the rest of the night with Monica’s question looming over her head.
“Nope, I only helped! Mama Carol did most of the work. I made lunch though. Mom said it was the best sandwich she’d ever had anywhere in all the galaxies!”
Monica exclaimed, only half telling the truth, as she nearly dragged Maria to the kitchen table. 
“I said something like that, yes.”
Carol laughed, her mouth forming into a smile when her eyes met Maria’s.
Maria smiled back before quickly looking around the kitchen, half expecting to see a new scorch mark somewhere. 
“It looks… the same as I left it, in here, minus a few dirty dishes. I’m impressed, Danvers.” 
Maria smirked, walking to the sink to wash her hands before sitting down and letting Monica get in her lap. She was certainly growing, she barely fit between the table and Maria anymore but she always made it work. 
“How was your day?”
Monica asked her mother, once again kicking her feet excitedly, being back in the presence of Maria. It meant a lot to Maria that she still got excited to see her. She hoped it would last through puberty.
“Ya’know, same ol’ same ol’. Protecting the world from aliens, which oddly enough usually is just a bunch of paperwork no one else reads or signs. So, pretty successful I guess.”
Maria laughed, pulling Monica’s cheek in for a small peck.
“I’m more interested in how YA’LL’S day went. The lawn looks… great, by the way.”
Before Carol could chime in, which she wasn’t going to being that she was staring at Maria’s toned arms the entire time she’d been in the room, Monia answered for them both.
“It was AWESOME! We caught so many frogs, I named one after you, and then I finally climbed up the whole tree!”
Maria chuckled, noting the small scrapes on her daughter but not worrying. It wasn’t a normal day if Monica didn’t get at least one scrape or bruise from her exploring.
“Well, I’m flattered. Did you get any help from a certain superhero, by any chance?”
“Nope, she did it all on her own. Much faster than I did, too.”
Carol answered while shooting her hands up like finger guns, shooting a wink to Monica who delighted at the remark.
Maria looked at the pink Barbie bandaid on the woman’s finger and half laughed half frowned.
“Seems like no one made it out without a few cuts today, huh?”
Carol looked down at her hand, almost embarrassed. She laughed.
“She got that from grating cheese, not climbing the tree!”
Monica answered, once again saving Carol from trying to find words. 
“Why am I not surprised? Well anyways, thank you both for doing such a good job with the chores today. Looks like you both really earned that extra tv time tonight.” 
Maria winked at them both before letting Monica scoot off her leg and back into her own chair, ready to eat.
“Thank god, I’m so hungry. I forgot to pack lunch last night so all I had today was a bunch of coffee and some nasty as- mm, some gross altoids my secretary had.”
“Sheesh. I hope it actually tastes like food this time then! Oop, I forgot the forks.” Carol said, about to get up and grab them. Monica beat her to it and ran over to the counter, leaving the two women with a moment or two to take each other in. They both held back a sigh, and just smiled at each other. The eye contact felt too much for both of them, for the same and different reasons. 
Monica returned and they broke their shared gaze, both feeling a mixture of missing it and thankful that it was over. Monica handed everyone a fork she had picked specifically for them and they all ate, swapping stories of their days back and forth. Maria laughed feeling relieved hearing how well the day went, she was hoping she would still have a house to come back between Monica and Carol. As they were all finishing their meals, Maria noticed the stack of games left out on the coffee table. 
“Make sure you put those up, Mon’.” She said softly, taking a sip of some iced tea. 
“I will. Also, guess who won the most games tonight? Guess, guess!”
Carol shook her head with a laugh.
“Hmm, if I was gonna take a wild guess… You?!” 
Maria smiled widely, pointing at her daughter playfully.
“You betcha’! I whooped Mama Carol’s butt like eighty billion times at all the games. Even the one you taught me that she was supposed to be super good at, even with the new fancy dice! She only won that one three times, and the last one was just pure luck cause’ I almost had it!” 
Carol and Monica laughed together, and suddenly Maria’s eyes unfocused. The laughter in the background melted into one sound, and everything else started to go quiet. She thought about the dice. The colors on the dots. Where she had left them sitting, in the box, in her room. She thought about why they were in Carol’s belongings and not her own. Then she thought about everything else that was in the box with them. She only came to when Monica and Carol’s laughing slowed down, reminding her that it would seem weird if she didn’t respond in the next second or two.
“Well, it looks like the mighty do fall sometimes. I used to let her win that game every time we played it.” 
Maria half heartedly laughed with a smirk, almost instantly regretting bringing up the past. Carol looked down at her almost empty plate for a moment before fixing her own face to shoot back something well timed and sarcastic enough to play off the shudder that sentence sent through her spine.
“Hmm, crazy cause when it comes to everyone else in the world, meaning you, I’m still the world champion. Monica just had that lucky dice trick.” 
Before Maria could even laugh, Monica jumped in.
“Hey! It’s not just the lucky dice, I just also happen to be the smartest person in the whole wide stinkin’ world too!”
“You make a good point.”
Carol and Maria said in unison, both with an adoring laugh. All three looked at each other and broke out laughing, feeling thankful for the lack of awkwardness that probably would’ve left in the air if it wasn’t so funny.
After that, everyone finished and avoided the different subjects on everyone’s minds happily. Carol cleaned up the plates, grazing by Maria’s arm while she walked to the sink. Monica pulled Maria over to the couch with her while Carol washed the dishes, quickly putting away all the games they had left out and positioning herself on the couch while Maria flipped through the channels for her. She had sat right in the middle, leaving just enough space for either woman on both sides of her. She really did live up to that nickname sometimes, both mother’s thought. When Carol made her way over, they were just settling on a show to watch. 
“Remember, you get 10 extra minutes.”
“Does that have to count commercials? Can we pause the timer when they come on? Pleeeeeaasssshhhhh.”
Monica pretended to beg to both women who laughed. 
“We’ll see what we can do. Time starts now, though.”
Maria answered her. Monica turned towards the tv and leaned back, wanting to take in every minute she had. She normally would get about an episode and a half in during her nighttime tv, maybe two if her mom dozed off in between. She was sure she was going to get at least two this time, since Maria looked sleepy. She didn’t account for Carol’s super powers making her have a longer stamina, but she figured she wouldn’t snitch. She looked up at her as they watched and she shot her down a wink in return, solidifying their silent agreement. As long as it was still summertime, Carol didn’t have an issue with it. Of course, she wouldn’t go against Maria, though, unless of course she fell asleep. Which she usually did. 
The three sat through an episode, choosing not to count the commercials in their internal timers, and started the second one. A few minutes in, Monica had positioned herself with her head and back on Carol’s lap, with her legs and feet on Maria’s. She watched the show quietly, not noticing herself dozing off. Once the second episode was over, she was fast asleep, nearly drooling on Carol. Both women laughed quietly at the sight. Maria reaches for the remote to turn off the tv while Carol effortlessly lifts Monica up and begins to walk her to her room. As she walks away, Maria fights the idea of Carol lifting her that way and carrying her to bed. She shakes her head and stands up to go to the fridge.
When Carol makes her way back downstairs after carefully tucking the young girl in, she’s greeted with Maria passing her a beer and a bottle opener. 
“Not sure if you still need to use these, but c’mon.”
Carol doesn’t need it but she chooses to use it anyway. She follows Maria without question through the front door and onto the porch. The sun is down now and it’s not quite as warm as it was the night before. 
“God, I’ve been waiting for this all day.” 
Maria says, taking a long swig from the cold bottle. She sits down on the steps and leans back on her elbows, beer still laced between her fingers. She looks like she’s relaxing but Carol wonders if she is. She stands against one of the posts for a moment, opening her beer, before sitting down next to the woman but not too close. She hopes she’s the only one who can feel the tension in the air. It’s different than last time she was home.
“Long day, I take it?”
“Always.” 
Maria sighs with a short laugh, taking another sip. 
“But that’s the job. I’m sure you get it.”
Maria finishes, not sure if what she said sounded shady or not. It wasn’t meant to be. Or maybe it was, but it wasn’t coming from the part of her she was trying to show up as it. It was coming from the part she was burying inside of her.
“I do, but I also don’t. You have a lot to handle all the time. I’m happy I… can help, I guess.”
Carol wasn’t sure if that last part was a question or not. They both almost flinched at the word help. Carol was more than just a friend who liked to help. She was a parent and neither wanted her to take that away from herself just because of how long she had been away. Both decided not to say anything in the moment, though. They both just sipped their beers and looked out in front of them, gazing up and out at the world around them. Somehow, it felt bigger now that they were both on it together.
Maria thought about the box again, trying to keep it from her mind to no avail. She also thought about Carol’s skin grazing against hers in the kitchen earlier. She wondered if their contact would be minimal. Despite the late night and early morning they had shared, they hadn’t really touched or even been this close since. The first night never counted, that was their unspoken rule since the second time Carol had been home.
She was exhausted when she arrived, fighting to stay awake long enough to talk to both Rambeaus’ even though she wanted to so badly. It had been a particularly grueling mission and she had flown directly back to Earth after the conflict was over, not taking a break. So, when Maria offered to watch some TV with her on the couch, she sank quickly into the cushions. Before they knew it, they had woken up to the sun coming through the living room windows, curled into each other. Neither thought it was weird then, so why was it weird now? 
Carol thought about the box too, rereading the words from the letter in her mind again. Thinking about the pictures on Maria’s desk. Then she thought about the dream she had, with everyone sitting on the porch. She was so deep into replaying it that she almost jumped when a frog hopped by, startling both women from their respective day dreams.
“I think that’s the one Monica named after you.”
Carol laughed, remembering the day she had fondly.
“I’m flattered.”
Maria laughed back, the laugh jumping up her throat. It’s like she needed to laugh, after a long day of dealing with domestic and intergalactic bullshit, along with the mark Carol was burning into her brain.
It started to go quiet again until Carol spoke up, feeling the bubbles from the beer in her brain even if it wasn’t going to get her tipsy.
“You know, I dream about sitting on this porch a lot.” “Yeah?”
Maria asks, not looking at Carol.
“Yeah. With you and Mon. There’s always a shit ton of bubbles everywhere and it’s always a really nice day. I have that dream a lot. Except for when I’m actually here.”
Carol explained, partly relieved to share it with Maria. She leaned back, taking a sip before setting the beer down on the step next to her. She waited to see if Maria would answer, unsure if she wanted her to. 
Maria sat with a small smile, unsure if she would be able to keep herself composed through the moment. She dreams about home. 
“You know, when you first came back with your powers, I wondered if you still even needed to sleep.”
“Ha, you know I had the same thought when I realized I wasn’t actually half Kree. On the planet, I slept but I never felt tired. I only started to feel regular human things when I came back here. It was nice to feel sleepy again. It made rest feel satisfying, instead of just kind of necessary.”
Maria looked over at Carol, daring to meet eyes if she looked over too. She wanted to run a hand over the woman's thigh, comfort her for all the things she was sure were running through her mind. She wanted to reach out, pull her into her chest, and hold her there like a child. She wanted to rip all the pain of being conditioned and having to fight to undo it from her, stop it out on the ground and set it on fire for her. With a regular match, not fire from her hands even though sometimes she was convinced she could produce some magic power from her own hands too if she let herself feel enough. She hadn’t realized she had been staring and hadn’t responded until Carol finally turned to look at her. 
“I’m okay, you know. You don’t have to look at me like I’m gonna burst into flames any second. I’m okay, I feel normal being here.”
Carol smiled reassuringly, almost shyly.
“I know, I just hate those bastards.”
Maria sighed, letting her shoulders fall as she looked down at the space between them.
“I feel you. But, you know, someone once told me hate takes up too much room.”
Maria’s heart skipped a beat. Of course Carol would remember one of her wiser parables now, when all she wanted to do was be angry for her. It was usually the other way around, but despite her usual craziness, Carol always had a way of saying the right thing at the right time, even if she didn’t mean to. A superpowered space warrior was right two times a day, it seemed. She let herself laugh, but it came out rougher than she had expected. 
Carol reached over instinctively to grab her hand, squeezing it tight. That’s the second time. Maria thought, wondering if Carol was counting the times they touched too. She felt a dangerous warmth push its way to her chest. She would blame it on the beer like she always did but she couldn’t. Why was she on the verge of tears?
“Hey.” Carol whispered, trying to look at the woman’s face. She tried to smile, squeezing her hand again. This time, Maria squeezed back before pulling it away and picking her empty beer bottle up. 
“I think I’m gonna take a shower, long day, you know. If you wanna borrow some pajamas again, feel free to grab some from my dresser.”
Carol sat still for a moment, wondering if she had gone too far. Normally conversations like this would flow with ease and mutual fluidity. They would hang on each other’s every word until the inevitable came when the sun rose. Maria would wake Monica up to say goodbye, they’d share a cup or two of coffee and by the time the sun was almost at it’s peak, Carol would be long in the distance, no longer even in the atmosphere. So now, having more time than normal, she hoped she hadn’t over stepped. As Maria closed in on the door, only half a step before entering, Carol turned around to look at her.
“Where do you want me to sleep?”
Maria paused, not sure what to say. How did she communicate that she would rather pull her own hair out strand by strand than lay in her bed alone, without Carol Danvers, for another night? How did she explain that she didn’t want to sleep, she was tired in a way only Carol’s skin and fingers and mouth could heal her of? How did she communicate that this was her house too, and she could sleep wherever the fuck she wanted - on the roof if she pleased - as long as Maria could be next to her, without saying any of that?
“Wherever you feel comfortable.” She turned and smiled as best as she could before letting the screen door close behind her, trying to keep a normal pace as she made her way to the bathroom.
Carol sat on the steps for a few more minutes, giving Maria time to get her things for her shower ready and giving herself time to ponder what she should do. Should she sleep on the couch? Should she tell Maria that there’s no where in the universe more comfortable to her than next to her? Should she pretend she didn’t read the letter and see the pictures and hear what Monica said earlier? Should she just sleep on the god damn couch? Having not made up her mind yet, she wandered upstairs and pulled out an old teeshirt from one of the boxes she had been in earlier. She shivered when she looked at the box with the letter in it. She forced herself to focus, shuffling through to find anything appropriate to wear and pulled out some old PT shorts. They were certainly going to be shorter on her now than they were then, given she had put on some much needed muscle in certain areas but they’d have to do.
She felt too embarrassed to go through Maria’s drawer, wear her clothes and then awkwardly make her way to the couch downstairs, only to have to face her in the morning when breakfast time came. She didn’t feel right marking Maria’s belongings, even if they were just a bunch of holiday themed pajamas that she didn’t wear that often anyways. 
Carol decided to change as quickly as she could, and wait to say goodnight to Maria when she came in. She figured she should probably sleep on the couch, suddenly feeling very much like a guest who didn’t want to overstay their welcome. She switched out of her bottoms and underwear, jumping into the shorts she had found. They were snug but not uncomfortable. She took her shirt off quickly and as she began pulling her sports bra over her head, Maria walked in.
Shit.
Shit.
They both thought in unison. Thankfully, Carol’s back was to the door, so she pulled on the t shirt she found quickly while scolding herself for not paying attention enough to hear Maria coming down the hall. 
“S-sorry! I didn’t know you were in here yet. Didn’t see anything.” 
Maria assured, despite the fact that she was still staring at Carol’s once bare back while the woman folded up her clothes in a hurry. To Carol’s surprise, when she turned around, all she saw was Maria’s naked shoulders, moisturized perfectly, with a purple towel wrapped around her. She turned back around almost quicker than Maria could register. It was Carol’s turn to stutter.
“Oh shit, s-sorry! I didn’t see anything either! I didn’t hear you coming!”
Maria accidentally laughed.
“Don’t you have super hearing?”
“Shut up! It only works when you pay attention to it! I thought you were still in the shower. I’m surprised you were so fast, Lt. Trouble told me you use all the hot water.”
Carol quipped back confidently, although she was still turned around and suddenly felt very warm.
“Oh, Trouble indeed. What else did she tell you?”
“A bunch.” 
Carol responded with a smirk in her voice. She sounded like a middle schooler, again reminding Maria how alike her and Monica were. 
“I’m sure. You can turn around now, if you want.”
Carol turned to see Maria smoothing a big white shirt over her belly button, quickly covering up the top of her thighs that were barely covered by the blue boy shorts she was wearing underneath. Carol stared down at the clothes in her hands trying not to seem as anxious as she was. She bent down to pick up the black pair of underwear and a sock she had dropped when she heard Maria chuckle.
“HA! What the hell are you wearing? Are those PT shorts? And does your underwear say Danvers? You still do that?” 
She was practically giggling at this point, a sound that sprung butterflies up in Carol’s stomach. It also taunted her, leaving her no choice but to rebuttal. 
“Listen man! I’m working with what I got! And no, I don’t still write my name in my underwear. I got these from the box of my old clothes.” 
Carol quipped, but found herself almost giggling too. She would’ve found it funny if Maria had on PT shorts from bootcamp too. 
“Whew. That is hilarious, Danvers.”
Maria breathes out, barely recovering from her fit of laughter at Carol’s expense. 
“Oh yeah, I’m flattered!”
She rolled her eyes playfully at Maria. They both sat down on the bed trying to collect themselves, both feeling lighter than before by a small margin.
After a few moments, Maria broke the impending silence before it could secure itself between them.
“Seems like you an Mon’ had a good day. Hopefully she didn’t give you too much trouble for one day.”
“Nah, it wasn’t too bad at all. She did whoop my ass in pretty much every game you guys own though.”
Carol smiled to herself. Maria fought hard to avoid bringing up the board game and the dice again. She quickly found a new topic to latch onto.
“You know, I must say, you also really did a great job not burning the place down with all that cooking you were doing. Are the aliens teaching you how to handle a kitchen or have you been practicing?”
She laughs, almost forced but she was actually impressed.
“Mmm. Id say it was pure dumb luck, but I’m gonna try to replicate it tomorrow.” 
Carol chuckles, not knowing that the mention of tomorrow was sending Maria’s heart into a frenzy. Silence weasled it’s way back between them for a few moments, although Carol didn’t pick up on it as much this time. It wasn’t until Maria broke it again that she realized it was her turn to figure out how to not let it freeze the warm air between them.
“So, there’s a tomorrow?” 
Maria asked timidly, not wanting to latch too tightly onto the idea that Carol might be staying for longer than coffee in the morning.
“Uh, yeah. I’ll be here tomorrow. I wanna try my hand at making waffles this time.”
Carol tries to cut the returned tension she felt. 
“I was thinking about working on my old car in the garage too, if that’s okay with you of course.”
“Yeah, of course. You know you don’t have to ask. This is your house, too. And it’s literally your car.”
Your house, too. Carol reached into the pocket of the pants she had on earlier, pulling out two colorful dice. She rolled them around in her hand for a second. 
“Yeah?”
She said, turning to finally face the woman sitting once again a bit too far away from her. The feeling of being a guest in her own home no longer sat in her chest. She allowed her eyes to make their way up Maria’s frame before meeting her eyes. Carol felt her hand move towards the woman, who was now looking down at one of the die in her non moving hand. Maria was almost terrified to meet her gaze, breath caught in her throat. Carol felt their hands connect, dropping the other die in her hand before closing her fingers around Maria’s. The woman next to her squeezed tight, almost too tight even for the superhero. 
Maria finally met Carol’s eyes with her own, finally releasing her breath, allowing her chest to move. 
“Yeah.” 
She said softly, almost too soft to hear but just enough for Carol. They both looked like they might burst into tears, both of them having to break eye contact but refusing to release each other from their grip. Third time, Maria counted in her blurring mind. She suddenly felt like all she could hear was her own heartbeat and Carol’s breath. They were close again, it was all she needed. She needed to feel Carol’s skin, know she was real. Know she wouldn’t let go.
Carol struggling against her own breath, finally let the desperation sitting inside of her take control. 
“What’re we doing, ‘Ri?”
She asked, in almost a whisper. She heard Maria’s breath get choked in her throat, just like she had earlier in the kitchen with Monica. She was still worried that she might have pushed too far too fast, but she needed something. Anything Maria could give her. An answer, a rejection, anything. She couldn’t sit still in the stifled confusion much longer, she feared she might actually implode. She waited, listening to Maria’s breathing. In and out, in and out. Like she was trying to quietly catch her breath. She heard her heart beat, it matched her own. Like they could beat out of their chests and find the other heart. Like they needed to be pressed together. So, Carol did just that. Finally listening to what her body was telling her. Hoping it wouldn’t be the wrong thing.
Just as Maria tried to whisper I don’t know, she let go of Maria’s hand and pulled her in, chest to chest, nestling her face in Maria’s shoulder. Maria whimpered, almost in shock. It took her almost 10 seconds to return the embrace, finally crushing into Carol the way she needed to. She knelt her face in the warmth of Carol’s neck, creating a tsunami in Carol from the graze of her lips against the side of her neck alone. They made themselves impossibly close, quieting the sounds of the world and honing in on each other’s heart beats. They took in each other’s scent, filling their lungs with the air surrounding each other. They let their hair tickle each other, finding comfort in the familiar feeling of Blackness around them. They rocked into each other to a rhythm that was so natural it almost felt like part of breathing. Finally, Maria let it drop.
A single tear rolled down Carol’s shoulder, sliding down as far as it could carry itself. Maria choked back what was sure to be her own tsunami.
“Mar-”
“I miss you. -- I miss you I m-iss you I miss you.”
She whispered with a drawn out sob. It was so quiet, it felt tragic to them both. 
Carol was silent, letting the woman release whatever she was ready to, feeling her chest heave with the impatience to relieve itself from the pent up emotions. She felt the woman in her arms shake softly, trying to fight back anything she convinced herself was a weakness. She had things to do, a person to be, a child to raise. She couldn’t let the grief get her again. But it was always there, maybe even more now in some ways. She hadn’t let this happen in so long, and the weight of pretending had pushed her to the edge of herself. She was the strongest woman in the world, and it was because she was soft. 
Carol struggled against her own tears, trying not to let them come so that she wouldn’t center her own pain in the moment. They were both too similar for their own good. She listened to Maria’s body pull the words up her throat and out her mouth, betraying her as they saved her from the pit she kept forcing herself into.
“I miss you ss-so much.” She repeated several times over. Like it was the only language she spoke. Eventually, she stopped, letting her fingers relax from gripping into Carol’s skin as tight as she could. She leaned into Carol more, feeling the weight of her body’s exhaustion mix with that of her mind. Carol let her, holding her firm but gentle. She lifted the woman up just as effortlessly as she did Monica, and carried her to her side of the bed, never moving her face from her shoulder. She laid her and herself down, sliding easily over top of her until she was on her side, careful not to put any weight on Maria’s body. She pulled the cover over them, that being the only time her hand left Maria’s body. She cradled the soft woman, giving her all of herself. She rocked her gently, counting her heart beats. 
As Maria’s breath finally got slower and deeper, she knew she would be asleep soon. Maria didn’t want to sleep but she needed it. Carol needed it to. They stuck to each other like glue, once again paying no mind to the heat stuck between them. Carol whispered back, finally.
“I miss you too.”
She felt Maria squeeze her tighter, then release and finally relax her body all the way. 
No more sniffles, no more sounds, just the weightless feeling of being together. It was easy again, for the moment. Carol rubbed her thumb lightly over Maria’s back, comforting them both enough to rest. She let the thoughts she had been fighting release from the walls of her mind, daring to look at them. She thought about the night in the lake, laying in the sand. She thought about the night before she left for a new base, with no idea when they’d be together again. She thought about the first time she came home, the gentle uncertainty between them melting away like it always did - no matter how much still needed to be figured out. She wasn’t sure how much progress had been made, but she knew that this is where she needed to be. As she finally let herself drift off to sleep, knowing that Maria was alright enough now, she knew she wouldn’t dream. She released herself to the peace of belonging, only to be startled one more time.
“Don’t you even think about leaving until you finish that car.” 
Maria commanded, even in her softest state. Carol smiled, feeling even more in place now.
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Down the road of a dead end dream
Rating: Teen Wordcount: 1.9k Major tags: Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau, College AU, Idiots in Love, Mutual Pining, Natasha Is the Only Adult
I'm never not thinking about these two, so I decided to revisit this little Carolmaria college AU. Cue resentful pining and (some) things left unsaid.
Part 2 of Flashback in a film reel. For @otp-holic, just because 💜
Read on AO3
During the weeks after Maria’s birthday they go from casual nods and half-smiles to actually saying hello and even exchanging a few words every here and there. It’s usually on Mondays and Thursdays, when they inevitably meet in the hallway before the drowsy late afternoon classes. 
It’s fine, Carol tells herself. It’s easy, it’s not too much. It doesn’t hurt. 
That is, until Nat comes up from Sacramento and just won’t let it go, because of course she doesn’t.

With each commitment and appointment, Carol felt Daisy relax a little more. For some reason, it didn’t stress Carol out as much. She even worried that she wasn’t worried enough. 
Maria had known Carol forever, and when Carol confessed this over dinner while Daisy worked late at the office, Maria rolled her eyes a bit. 
“Am I crazy?” Carol asked. 
“No, but you are ridiculous.” Maria cut up her fish and sighed. “You don’t have to be stressed about your wedding. That’s probably healthier, actually.” 
Carol considered it. “It’s not that I’m not stressed at all. Some of this stuff is frustrating and expensive. But it just doesn’t affect me the way it does her. Am I not taking it seriously?”
Maria shrugged. “Maybe it just doesn’t seem real to you yet. It’ll probably sink in at some point. Like, dress shopping—or suit shopping—whatever you want, or booking the honeymoon or getting the RSVPs back.”  
“I guess so. Still need to send out the invitations to get the responses back though.” Carol waved her bread. “See? I should be freaked out that we haven’t sent them yet, right?” 
Maria swallowed and took a different approach, “Well, when you do check something off the list, what does it feel like? Maybe you don’t realize you’re stressed until it’s gone.”
Carol thought about it as she chewed. An older couple sat at a table across from them. The husband poured more water for his wife, and the wife shared her shrimp with her husband. Carol tried not to stare as the man said something funny that made the woman light up with laughter. The years showed on their faces, but so did the joy. They were utterly comfortable with each other. 
“It’s that,” Carol said softly and indicated the table with the old married couple. “Every commitment we make to the wedding feels like a commitment to her, to our life together. That’s what matters to me. So yeah, it’s a relief to have details done, but I guess it just feels … right.” 
Maria smiled knowingly. “You should tell her that.” 
Carol agreed. She couldn’t read Daisy’s mind, but she could feel the tension in the air every time she tried to tell Daisy it wasn’t a big deal they had so much to do or that they didn’t have to rush things. It was a big deal, and Daisy needed to hear it.  
Maria changed the subject, showing Carol some ideas she had for her and Jemma’s bridesmaid dresses. Carol tried to focus on them, and she knew it was important with their appointment at the bridal shop coming up, but she realized one thing that did stress her out about the wedding: what she was going to wear. 
—------------ 
Daisy had planned on working late, but she was done earlier than she thought she would be. Now she just had to wait on her team to finish running their tests before she deployed a new security patch tomorrow morning. They were still trying to find any vulnerabilities that could affect the rollout, but Daisy was pretty good at what she did, so she wasn’t stressed. She gathered up her stuff and made her way to her car, but she wasn’t in a hurry to get home. Carol was having dinner with Maria so Daisy knew she’d be home alone. 
She picked up some takeout on the way and settled in with her laptop at the kitchen table. It was always so quiet without Carol home. Daisy looked at the clock. It would probably be hours before Carol was back, too. Of course, it was good for Carol and Maria to get time together, especially without Monica needing all of their attention. But still, Daisy felt like being productive to make the time go faster while she waited. And that meant conquering wedding tasks. 
She broke the silence with a playlist of potential reception dance songs, opened her spreadsheet of guests, and texted a few to get updated addresses. 
Carol had picked out three invitation designs she liked equally well. It was a good trade-off: Daisy felt overwhelmed by too many choices and Carol couldn’t make a final decision, so giving Daisy a few options to pick from was a win-win. She mocked up a few with their names and details until she had a clear winner. Adding the information into the template was easy enough. For the registry information, she used the hyperlink to their wedding website’s registry page. They hadn’t quite decided on what, or even where, they were registering yet. One step at a time.
She held her breath as she submitted the design, paper choice, quantity, and print specifications to the printing company, which would turn it from a digital design to a high-quality, professional-looking card. In only two weeks, they would receive a box with all the invitations. She thought about having the company mail them to their guests, too, but she still had some unconfirmed addresses and didn’t want to wait. Plus, it just felt better to have some control over the process. 
It’s not that Daisy would normally be described as a control freak. There was just something about wedding planning on a budget under a tight deadline that brought out her perfectionist side. She didn’t tolerate vulnerabilities in her code, and this was another element of that side of her brain that needed everything to be as foolproof as possible. 
She and Carol had been through too much. Carol, especially, deserved the perfect wedding after the last few years she’d had. It was the least Daisy could do. And with her parents contributing financially as well as emotionally, Daisy felt responsible for managing it all. 
With dinner finished and the invitations ordered, she moved to the living room and turned on a wedding-themed reality show to stay focused before starting the next thing on her list: adding the online RSVP option to their website that she’d promised in the invitation. She fiddled with the plug-in’s code until she had it customized exactly the way she wanted it. She tested it and, as promised, it sent her an email with the information she entered in the form: name, email address, response, number of guests, and any dietary restrictions.  
“Huh,” Daisy mumbled to the empty room. “That was easy.” She had expected to find some flaw in the premade plug-in that would require her to spend time fixing it or to even get frustrated and end up writing her own. But somehow, it worked perfectly well. 
She texted her parents, Elena and Mack, and Jemma and Fitz the link and asked them to test it for her before she got too confident. While she waited for their responses, she watched the wedding TV show.
Some of the brides were drama queens, but others had meaningful stories behind the dresses they chose. Daisy dreaded this part herself. Technically the next thing on her list for tonight was finding a wedding band for Carol’s ring, inherited from Grandma Lian, which would be a challenge, but the dress shop appointment was what really occupied her anxious mind. There was the pressure to find wedding party dresses that Jemma, Maria, and Elena all liked. Then there was the question of her own dress. She assumed Carol would wear a pants suit like some of the queer women in the photos she’d mined for ideas. Carol wasn’t exactly butch or gender nonconforming enough to claim that label, but she wasn’t a girly girl either. Daisy couldn’t remember the last time she’d seen Carol in a dress. Probably college. 
But Daisy dreamt of that magical moment where the girl looks in the mirror and just knows that dress is The One. She knew it was silly, and perhaps she had watched too much TV, but some part of her needed that reassurance that at least one decision about this wedding would feel fated or fairytale.   
She opened the bridal shop’s website and scrolled through the dresses again. A disclaimer at the top of the screen noted that their in-person inventory might vary from what was shown online. They would have dresses in the store she couldn’t see on their website, and vice versa. Just in case, though, she saved a few in her favorites list. They had a variety of suits for women as well, and Daisy was confident Carol would be able to find something she liked from their options. She added a simple dress or two that Carol might like just in case. 
A pang of preemptive guilt hit that Carol was so easygoing. What if Daisy couldn’t find a dress she liked? Or what if she was the last one of their group stuck between too many options and made a rushed decision just to avoid annoying everyone else with her hesitancy? Daisy found a quiz about body types and dress shapes. Perhaps if she just did more research, she could eliminate some possibilities and find what would look good on her without having to try on a dozen at the store. 
An hour later, she realized she hadn’t ever made it to the jewelry site to order a wedding band. She might have also fallen asleep for a few minutes during a soft, sentimental part of the wedding show. She checked her phone to see that it was still on silent and she’d missed several texts from her friends and family responding to her messages about invitation addresses and testing the RSVP form on their site, and the last message was from Carol saying she was on her way home. Right on cue, Carol’s keys jingled outside as she unlocked the door. 
Daisy set her laptop aside as Carol walked in. 
“Hi.” Daisy smiled sleepily at her. 
“Hey, you didn’t have to wait up for me.” Carol hung her bag and coat on their hooks by the door and walked to the sofa to greet Daisy with a kiss. 
“I was doing wedding stuff.” She stretched and yawned, which didn’t help her case. Carol sat down next to her and slipped an arm around her back. 
“Wanna show me and then we can get to bed?” 
Daisy opened her laptop and showed Carol the RSVP page and how the test replies from their wedding party had come in. She then showed her the finished invitation and the estimated arrival date. The missing addresses in the spreadsheet that had come in via text could wait until the morning.
“Wow, good work, babe.” Carol kissed Daisy’s cheek. 
“You like the invitation?” 
“I really do. You did say on them that the registry information would be on the website though, so I guess we need to go register this weekend before we can send these out?” 
Daisy cuddled into Carol’s side. “You just wanna go around with those little scanner guns, huh?” 
Carol laughed. “Okay, caught me. I still need to finish my part of that with which stores have stuff we would actually want.” 
“And need.” Daisy pointed to the kitchen. “Dishes that match are one thing, but that old coffeemaker is going to die and that is not going to be a good morning.” 
“Mmmhm.” Carol agreed. “Goodbye college junk we got from the dorm giveaway bin—”
“Or thrift store,” Daisy added. 
“Hello, grown-up things that will last.” Carol slowly closed the lid of Daisy’s laptop before Daisy got tempted to start looking for registry gifts right now. Daisy set it aside and followed her lead to the bedroom. Carol filled her in on Maria’s life updates and their dinner together as they got ready for bed, but nothing too heavy of a discussion or related to the wedding. For now, they could just rest.

Maria/Carol, Honeymoon fic, 800 words max, must include the word “judgement”
I've been sick so I've used this time to start catching up on some prompts to fill. I got you right here, my dude
Tumblr media Tumblr media
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐛𝐨𝐬
Tumblr media
𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: maria rambeau x carol danvers
𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 800 on the dot
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: fluff, a vacation quickly mentioned because of the word count.
Tumblr media
Maria and Carol don’t get married—it’s the ‘80s, and an interracial female marriage is still something that people cannot fathom. So, Maria and Carol don’t get married—under the law—but they spend their honeymoon like they are.
One morning during a period of Carol’s stay on Earth, she wakes her love up with the sweetest kisses. She’s much more energetic from having been alert already. Carol then encourages her to freshen up, and as a bouncing ball of energy, Carol who couldn’t wait to scoop Maria up in her arms in one swell swoop bridal style and flies the two up into the clouds.
The air blowing in her face and Maria’s arms locked around her neck are perfect distractions against her glitters of nervousness that worsen by the second.
Hovering among the clouds was like being among pink-golden cotton puffs, and being there looked like a painting; colored gold, pink, and pale violet. The morning sunlight bends around the clouds to stream as a multitude of rays and warming their skin.
It was marvelous. And then, Carol proposes with a ring. 
Carol Danvers lives a grandiose life, loses her memory, gains superhuman abilities, and loves Maria more fearlessly than before. Here, in another world where no one finds them, Carol proposes; this place used to appear only in dreams until she finds it in the perfect hour of sunrise. This place, she opens to Maria, is where she always thought would be the perfect place to love someone....

Tumblr media Tumblr media
A alarm sounded thoughout the spacious, dimly-lit room. You stirred slightly, slowly you opened your eyes to be met with the beautiful sight of your girlfriend, Wanda, Dead asleep. You let out a small giggle.
You felt a pair of strong, familiar arms wrapped around your waist tighten signalling that she was wake to, you knew that was your other goddesses of a girlfriend Natasha.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y turn off the alarm in room 6" you requested with a groggy voice.
The annoying sound soon stopped.
You tried to turn around in Natasha arms to face her only to be met with soreness shooting through your body, reminding you of the sensual advents of last night, you stopped in your tracks ending up on your back and let out a pained whine.
"You okay dekta?" Natasha Inquired worried.
"Yes, sweetheart, just really sore" you were able to say through gritted teeth to suppress further whines, completing the full turn around in her arms.
"Morning, love" She said with a huge grin plastered on her face from your pervious statment but that sneaky grin soon turned into a warm smile, Dam that smile you loved so much.
You blushed, burying your face into the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet scent.
"Morning" you replied back muffled, hugging on to her for dear life.
You knew what was happening to day and you hated it, you hated it with a burning passion.
Your girlfriends where going on a month long mission.
"Hey, what about me?" sounded a heavenly voice from behind you.
"Wanda!?" You questioned pulling back for Nats neck, looking back in excitement.
"Yes, honey" she landed a peck onto your lips making you smiled.
"Morning, Wands" Nat said smiling.
"Morning, Natty" Wanda replied back, you watched as she learned you over to steal a kiss from her.
Natasha soon sat up and pulled you onto her lap. You whinned again from your achy body being moved.
"I have training with Steve in 30 minutes" she said kissing your forehead as a silent 'sorry'. "Wanda can you please take care of our special girl"
"Of course babe" she said getting up and walking around the bed until she reached you, picking you up.
You wrapped your legs around her waist and her arms around her neck and closed your eyes basking in the warmness and soothing scent that radiated off her.
Wanda moved go to get ready for the day with you. She thought warm shower would help soothe your tight muscles, Leaving Natasha to go get dress and make her way down to the training floor off the compound.
You guys agreed that, you and Wanda would go meet Natasha after getting ready and making breakfast.
-------------------------------------------------------
After Nat had a shower and got dress for the day and she made her way down to the compound kitchen/living room. There she saw Tony and Thor bickering over something stupid, Clint on zoom with Laura, Steve reading a book, and Sam and Peter screaming over a game. She was pulled out of her trance when the mixture of your beautiful laughter and The smell of mouth-watering food hit her.
She looked over to the stove to see Wanda stirring soup and staring daggers into something or someone. Wanda sensed Nats entrance and met her eyes, soon gesturing with her head over to you and Carol.
Natasha's face soon dropped to, the sight of you laughing and hugging Carol infurates her.
Natasha and Wanda were Extremely possessive of you. Most of your Agurments were caused by this. Wanda and Natasha recently found out that your childhood best friend, Carol had a big crush on you. They didn't mean to find out but when Wanda powers when haywire from stress during an agurment with Natasha, she started accidentally reading everybody's mind including Carol who was then, currently comforting your crying form in her arms.
They had told you after everything had calmed down and apologises had been exchanged, you brushed it off not wanting to cause anymore stress during this time. They said to 'say away' but you couldn't you love her to much she was your best friend after all.
She moved to sit down at the kitchen counter, soon accompanied by you.
"Hi, baby!" you said, she pulled you into a tight hug and kissed your cheek. "Natty?" You aksed as she pulled away, she just stared at you, a mix of love and rage potent in her eyes.
"Foods ready!" Wanda shouted, making everyone drop everything there doing and run to the kitchen.
"umm okay let's just eat" you awkwardly mumbled.
Carol tried to sit next to you but was blocked by wanda, who when sat gave her a death glare. Wanda then pulled you on to her lap and Natasha moved into your pervious seat, gesturing for Carol to sit in her old one instead of next to you.
"But I want to sit next to Care bear!" You protested only to be met with the cold glare of the ex- assassin. That immediately shut you up.
After breakfast Wanda picked you up and took you to your room, followed by Natasha.
Natasha opened the door, soon you were met with the softness for your king size bed as Wanda threw you down, you looked up to see your girlfriends either side of the bed.
"Okay, why are you guys being like this?" You questioned.
"For a start you and 'Care bear'" Natasha mocked "Need to break what ever this is up"
"Okay? " you agreed.
"Good" Wanda smirked.
"Now, let's give our girl some cuddles before we leave" Wanda grined, as they both climbed in next to you.
-------------------------------------------------------
40 mins later and it was time, You felt distraught, watching them like a hawk as they moved around the room packing there mission bags and getting changed.
You let your tears free fall, once your girlfriends stood infornt of the bed with there suits on and bags tossed over there shoulders. You shot up and flung yourself into they're arms and they happily allowed you to just stand there holding them closely.
"Okay dek-" Natasha was cut of by you pulling her in for a deep long kiss only pulling away once you were completely deprived of air, taking a deep breath you turned to Wanda repeating your previous actions.
Once you pulled away you brought them into a tight hug once again
"I love you both so much, be safe"
"I love you too" they both chucked in sync.
Once they were out the door and up to the quinjet bay you flopped down on the bed and sobbed.
You cried until the lack of sleep from last night caught up to you.
-------------------------------------------------------
One week into being with out the loves of your life and your a total mess, you just miss you girlfriends so so so much. You miss waking up to them, you miss there touch, you miss the fun, you just miss everything about them. On top with that you had to break up your friendship with Carol which didn't end well.
During the nasty agurment, in the middle of a lot of insults, she told screamed at you that she thinks that Nat and Wanda were to possessive and you knew that well, to well, hell last time you hugged Carol for to long an agurment rose and it when all to shit. You really did ponder why the rest of the team didn't notice your fresh bloodshot eyes from crying because of the harsh words the two reheads unleash on you, especially with the severe anger issues the both hold.
One wrong move and all hell would break lose, thank god they only ever hurt you Verbally, you wouldn't stand a between the both of them physically.
You always felt a bit safer during the screaming matches with the promise they made a long time ago. "We would never do anything to hurt"
Hell you were wrong.
F.R.I.D.A.Y broke you out of your focus on tv, you were comfortably bundled up laying in bed with Natasha's grey hoddies and Wanda's black sweatpants.
"Miss y/l/n, Director fury would like you at meeting room 13 in 30m minutes"
"Okay, thank you F.R.I.D.A.Y I will be down soon"
"Nope problem miss y/I/n"
-------------------------------------------------------Once you got to the meeting room, Fury ushered you in. You took your seat waiting for the others.
Maria soon came in and your face lit up to see a close friend but soo dropped when Carol soon followed, closing the door behind her.
Maria took a seat next to you and Carol distanced herself from you choosing the seat furtherst away, which made you frown abit. You still are vexed at her but you still miss her.
Maria noticed your change in facial expression.
"You okay, Y/n/n? " Maria asked.
"Yep, Mia!" you quickly fixed your face, turning to her and nodding.
"Okay, ladies" fury proceeded to talk as you turned to face him
"I need you guys for a new mission, a dangerous, long one, are you guys up to this?"
All three of you nodded in agreement.
"This mission is about saving inhumans from a common enemy Hydra, You must inform no one about this mission even your closest of friends or family, once we put you on the list for the housing, which will done be once you reach your neighborhood, eyes and ears will be watching and we can't risk anyone else getting hurt. We are dealing with seriously dangerous people here. Do you understand me? "
"Yes" you all three answered.
"Good, now Maria and y/n you will have to act as a married couple, when I mean act, I mean acting full out, dates and public affection are mandatory. The only place you can act normal is the safe house's. It will be the only safe place and for you Carol you will be they're best friend and next door neighbor, you guys will watch the operation because Hydra Intel will be passed through during the waiting period until the inhumans arrival. Once they arrive you will storm the place and bring the inhumans here to safety" He then went on about other information, like your fake names and the apartment's addresses, and the date you guys well be returning.
You would be returning same day as your girlfriends, leaving today.
Once you had finished the meeting you had left the bland room and made your way up to your bedroom to pack and change into a different outfit.
When ready, you met Maria outside the compound and waited for Carol inside the car.
The whole drive you talked to Maria about the characters you guys would be playing. you both decided on a couple who couldn't keep your hands of each other.
God how Carol wished to be Maria so bad, so she could feel your lips on her and could be around you 24/7.
Once you arrived to the apartment's Carpark you felt uneasy. Exiting the car you pushed Maria against the car door and gave her a deep kiss you knew eyes where on you as soon as you passed them white, pearly gates and you knew you would have to play by this role to perfection.
-------------------------------------------------------
Once you had finally settled in, around day two on the mission you started introducing your self to the neighborhood including the Hydra agents, you got 'along' with them well, you thought Hydra was your biggest enemy but no your didn't know that the your biggest enemy would be the person you just fake - lovingly hugged in the lobby of the apartment complex, 5 minutes ago.
Carol.
Carol who loved you so deeply so deeply that she would kill for you. she knew about the toxic relationship between you and your girlfriends 'whom you loved so much' the thought of them with you especially in bed made her feel violently sick and oh how she wanted you all for herself.
This mission gave her the perfect opportunity for just that. She knew that you and Maria would go on a fake date today.
After getting ready and changing into a stunning red dress, you waiting for Maria in the lounge, around 15 minutes Maria came out in a lush, Royal blue dress.
"You look stunning Mia!" You remarked with a soft tone.
"Well thank you y/n/n, you too" Maria complimented back.
"let's go 'babe'" you joked and reached out your hand for her to hold. She glady took it and you both way down to the car park.
When you eventually got to the restaurant you notice that hydra agents had followed you here, clearly suspicious not falling for your married couple act yet, but you you didn't notice Carol there to.
Carol's big break happened when you asked whispered to Maria fake finger you under the table, you thought it would help knock of the agents. From the angle she was in it looked fake, but when she moved to an empty booth, it looked real. Maria moved her hand under the table and you pulled certain faces to Make it seem realistic. Carol snapped some pictures, a creepy smile stuck on her face and crept out to her car, once the hydra agents realised what you where 'doing' they soon left and you both laughed at there disturbed faces. After finishing your meal and paying the bill you and Maria headed back to the safe house, tried and wanting to sleep.
Maria eagerly guided you through the lobby and into the hallway, pushing you up against the door putting her lips against yours, making out with you. Carol snapped more pictures smiling to herself. 'Oh this gonna be so good' she thought to herslef.
When you finally got into the house after Maria struggled to put the keys in the hole, because of the steamy make out session, you whispered 'goodnight' which she replied with a friendly smile and off you went to your room to get ready for bed.
-------------------------------------------------------
It was last day on this long mission, Carol seem really happy despite the fact you guys where still ignoring each other, you didn't know why.
It was time to storm the hydra base after watching over it constantly. You had alerted the both of them about the arrival for three inhumans, all had power damping cuffs on which made your job more easier. After getting your suit on and breaking down the door it was action time.
-------------------------------------------------------
Misson failed..
You were so upset with yourself, you completely ingored the fact that you were bleeding out. You had gained a massive wound on your leg where a hydra agent stab you.
During the raid, many other hydra agents appear from a secret room that no one had eyes on. You where out numbered and were only able to get two out of three inhumans.
In your head you replayed the screams of terror and fear that came frlm the girl that you weren't able to save as she was roughly pulled away from the situation by other hydra agents.
Carol sped back to the compound hoping to get back to you back in time, Maria sat next you in the back seat applying pressure to the wound, rambling on to keep you focused and in the moment.
Looking at the two inhumans one seated at the front and one next to maria, you felt terrible for them they looked so tense and stress. This situation definitely didn't help them in any way.
The three of you had to sneak pass everyone, since the team and other agents been told that you all had taken time off. By the time you made it to the medbay You were unconscious. Maria wanted to stay but couldn't risk getting spotted it would make people suspicious, especially if she was seen in the medbay.
-------------------------------------------------------
You woke up to Dr. Cho walking around near you bed.
"Ah, Dr. Cho" you said ammused with a slight rough voice, one the many sideaffects of waking up.
"Hello y/l/n, before you can ramble on with a lot of questions -I know how you act as soon as you wake up in the medbay- you are now stable and will be out soon after I check your some of your vitals"
"Thank you"
"No problem" she asserted with a small smile.
-------------------------------------------------------
When you were in the med bay Carol sneaked through the halls of the large compound and into yours and yours girlfriends room. She carefully set pictures of you and Maria on the bed.
She did feel bad for doing this when you when hurt but she wanted you and wasn't going to wait any longer.
She snuck back out to the car, waiting for you with Maria. After a bit off hesitation you finally got up wincing slightly and snuck out to the car, furry had set up another safe house, immediately after he heard about the incident that had occur. letting out a big sigh once you were seated in the car, a wave of relief washed over you that other agents had picked up the inhumans and that they were safe now.
And with that Maria drove off.
-------------------------------------------------------
Once you made it back to the compound you faked entering as if you had just come back from a sunny holiday, and greeted everyone holding back your limp.
You dumped your bags in the lounge and made it the training area to fake the incident of your wound with Maria, just wanting to get it out the way. After training with Maria you limped over to medbay.
Staying in the medbay bathroom for around 20 minutes for a you shuffled out and made your way back to your room.
In there you saw your girlfriends, screaming you ran to them not caring about the pain. You wrapped your arms around them but when then didn't hug you back you pulled back and looked at them confused, seeing their red eyes, tears rolling down there cheeks "why are you guys crying? "
All of the sudden Wanda slapped you hard making to fall to the ground, you laying there in utter shock, tears rolling down your red cheek .
"What the fuck!?!" you scream out getting back to your feet.
"You cheating, lying bitch!" Wanda snapped at you.
"What are you talking about!?!"
Natasha held up the pictures of you and Maria and your stomach dropped know that this was a big misunderstanding.
"That's not what you thi-" you were cut off.
"I don't want to here it y/n!, Did you enjoy your 'hoilday'?" Wanda yelled, her tone showered with vemon, air quoting the word holiday.
This soon turn into a intense screaming match filled by the most foul, vile insults from your partners well, now ex partners as they had declared that 'they want to break up'.
You sobbed and cried but also started screaming things back to the women infornt of you.
Something you said about Natasha past triggered something in the ex -asssassin, she saw red and all the sudden you were down again but this time it wasn't and slap it was a hard, heavy punch.
Your lip was busted and your forehead was bleeding, you tried to get up but the ex - assassin jumped on you making hit your head on the floor she straddled yor legs unintentionally putting weight on your wound which made everything more painful.
You looked into her eyes, while she moved a hand to your chest to keep down, still screaming insults at you, offending everything about you.
She was trying to break you, and you would be lying if you said that her words didn't hurt like hell, you witness so much anger and hurt brewing in her eyes, she didn't mean this, they didnt mean this, did they? They were clearly blind-sighted by the pure rage they were feeling, right?
You didn't want to hurt the woman that once loved you but when she started punching your face, with no signs of stopping you knew you had to get her off.
You wiggled beneath the woman but was held down by Wanda's powers. You kept on trying to push Natasha off, but to your avail you had no luck.
finally you had an adrenaline surge between the sobbing, the pain caused by the harsh insults and the punching made it almost impossible. With the new found strength you push her off and was able to break through Wanda's powers, Natasha went flying onto the ground landing near the desk, her head starting bleeding form the impact with the floor, Wanda rushed to her side.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y open the door in room 6" you shouted.
You crawled to the door using the doorknob to help you get up.
Your face bloodied and battered up you started to limp out the door only to be met with a huge shock of suprise sharp pain.
Wanda had thrown a pair of scissors with her magic full force into your side.
Your mouth fell agape, almost falling to the floor you were able to catch yourself. A hand went up to the wound clutching it. You stumbled out the room and down the hallway.
You didn't even care to knock, opening the door Carol's head whipped up from her desk. When she saw the state of you she came running.
You partically fell into her arms.
"Y/n! " Carol Blurted out as she caught you. "We need to get you to medbay!"
"No" you breathed out shakily, slowly losing to the strong force of darkness that pulled you closer by the second.
You still loved them whole heartedly and didn't want them to get in trouble, even after doing this to you, you still put them first.
Eventually you lost the challenging battle and fell into unconsciousness.
Carol immediately grabbed her first aid kit and got to work knowing the basics form training.
-------------------------------------------------------
Once you were patched up, stable and comfortable in her bed, Carol stormed out her room and in to your ex- lovers room.
As she burst down the door and seeing wanda tending to Natasha head.
She didn't waste any time and started screaming at the two women, who were still quite angry, Natasha stood up and start Aguring with Carol.
After an other screaming battle, Carol threaten them and told them to stay away from you, as if they wanted to talk to you right now. Packing your stuff she retreated back to her room to take care of her love.
She did feel absolutely terrible to make you suffer, she didn't mean for you to get hurt, but at least you were hers now and she was there to sweep up the pieces of your broken heart and mold you into her little prefect, pretty doll.
-------------------------------------------------------
You woke up, Pain engulfing your body soon followed by the rememberance of last night making your heart drop into your chest grief filling it up to the brim but you noticed a comforting warmness next to you, that gave you hope that is was one of your girlfriends and that everything that happened was a way too realistic nightmare. You turned your head over to see Carol.
That snapped you back into reality harshly.
"Carol?" You groaned, her eyes fluttered opened and she let out a small smile.
"Hi sweetie" her tone welcoming.
"I'm really confused, what happened to the pair of Sisscors lodge into my sid? and-"
She cut you off.
"Shhh,It's okay sweethart I patched you up and dealt with your ex's" she said as she brought and hand up to your face wiping the tears away "I will take care of you until you feel better "she pressed a kiss on your cheek.
"Thank you, i- I'm so sorry" you wept.
"It's okay, honey I'm sorry too" she apologized. Putting her arm around your waist and shuffled next to you, holding you close and as you sobbed.
"Hey, princess can you please try to explain to me what happened so I can get a better understanding of what happened and so you don't have anything lying on your chest, if you do it now you won't have to do it to ever again, promise."
you caught your breath and started explaining "okay... "
-------------------------------------------------------
After explaining to Carol the situation and venting, she gave you more comfort that you desperately neede right now, however it did deepen her guilt but you were here now and that's all that mattered.
After some more cuddling and kisses on the head she left to make breakfast for the both of you.
Walking down she saw Natasha and Wanda acting all lovey like nothing even happened between the three of you, However Natasha did look a bit dazed out, seeing that made Carol's hatred for the women grow.
After making the food, she brought it up to her room and softly woke you up. Eating with you while watching your favourite tv show in bed.
Wanda and Natasha notice her taking two plates up to her room, assuming you were in there, it made them hate you even more for going to the one person they said not too, but hey you weren't with them anymore. After all they wouldn't want 'a weak bitch like you.'
-------------------------------------------------------
After around month of Carol taking caring of you to started making appearances around the compound explaining to the rest of the team that you were still alive and that you 'were in training and you got hurt badly so Carol took care of you for a while'
Everyone had sus-ed out that you, Wanda and Natasha broke up form the way you actively avoided and ignored each other.
During, the period of recovery you fell into great depression, you were so hurt and mad, they didn't even let you explain you thought daily. You also had the burden of that failed misson on your shoulders. you needed to put that hurt and anger somewhere.
Who Knew that, them two advents would mixed and fuel the person you are now.....
-------------------------------------------------------
"No! " Wanda screamed at natasha, they were Aguring once again, they missed you so badly but also hated you guts for what 'you did to them'. They weren't the same with out you.
When Natasha left the room in a fit of rage, Wanda started losing her mind, well quite literally her it filled with other people's thoughts and serects. The stress for so many agurements with the other red head during the week, caused another power malfunction.
Wanda found out about Carol's big scandal.
She fell to floor clutching her chest after realising what she did to you, she threw them Scissors at you, you she cause you grand pain mentally and physically, she broke the promise, she Let Natasha beat you mercilessly infront of herself, she let you suffer.
She sobbed aggressively on the floor, hours until Natasha came in. She immediately ran to Wanda, pulling her into her lap
"Wands, what wrong?!?!" She was worried. She knew it wasnt about the agurement because she usually wouldnt cry over an agurement of that scale.
"S-she didn't cheat"
"Huh? What yes she did?"
"Carol set her up, she was on an mission, one that she couldn't tell anyone about, Maria and y/n had to play a married couple it was all fake, everything, the misson failed and y/n got hurt, she almost bled out Nat!, she is assigned to revist it soon, we hurt her badly!, she was innocent all along, we didn't even let her explain"
Natasha bursted out crying at Wanda's words.
They held each other in sorrow and despair. They thought you deserve all the pain but you were innocent.
They were going to get there you back.
-------------------------------------------------------
After calming down they quitely got ready for bed, they miss the cuddles you would smother them with and your sweet laugh. Huddled up in bed wanda explain every little detail about the mission and the together they devised a plan to get you back that they would start tomorrow and with a goodnight kiss the lights when off.
-------------------------------------------------------
In the morning Natasha and Wanda woke up determined to make you Theirs again. They woke up a bit more earlier to run into you, since it was one of your tactics to wake up earlier to prevent running into them. Today they would just watch you form a far to see how you are doing.
After getting ready they made there way to down the kitchen where you sat on island, phone in hand, Carol's hoodie on,hood up. You tensed up at sight of them almost throwing up in fear. You quickly grabbed a bottle of water which was your breakfast and quickly moved back to your girlfriend's room. Yes that's right girlfriend you Carol had started dating after she finally confess and you can't lie you caught feels to after wanda and Natasha left you. You thought wearing Carol's hoodie would be bad idea because if you happened to run into the women again you feared it would anger them.
It made they heart drop knowing that Carol currently had you. They hated it but they would get you back no matter what.
-------------------------------------------------------
You went to get ready for training.
Training was more like self- torture that you inflicted on your self. Carol helped easing some of the pain, but there was still so much left, so you decide to throw yourself into work, especially training for the revist, that little girls screamed taunted you and your dreams.
You always train early so you can avoid everyone especially Wanda and Natasha.
You made your way down to the training floor and started a 2 hour long torture session in a private training room. Pushing yourself pass your limits and still didn't stop. Carol finally came in and was able to get you stop, she carried you to her room while whispering sweet nothings into your hairline, placing you down o the bed to rest.
The two red heads watched this scene with you and Carol unfolded. Wanda noticed how you always cover up more then you used to this started to make her to suspect that you were hiding two things...
-------------------------------------------------------
The ex-spy and witch watched you for a week and were mortified by the out come of their actions. You had changed a lot, you didn't get any sleep due to nightmares of the incident, and wanda was right you stopped eating,you were also trying to actively hide your body since to them you were and 'slut and whore' only drinking water they since insulted you about your body, you tried to change your appearance due to them coming at you for that to and you also became very cold hearted to everyone around you but not towards Carol, no, you were angel towards her.
Today was the last day before the revist and you wanted to train like crazy to make sure you were going to succeed this time.
To your despair you woke up late today because of Carol. She thought that you deserve a rest and turned of your alarm after you fell asleep, drained because of a certain thing you and your girlfriend did.
When you woke up, you realized you where behind scheduled and shot out of bed rushing to get ready for the day.
More frustration was added to your pitiful day when you noticed all of your less revealing training outfits were dirty or in the wash. You had to settle for and training bra and shorts. You grimaced looking in the mirror looking, the two big scars on show.
Wiping your tears away, you made your way down to the training rooms.
However to your horror all the private rooms where in use. Upset you trudged down to train with the rest of the team. You walked into the lagre room you haven't been seen in a while, you felt eyes upon you making you more uncomfortable, wanda and Natasha heart both skipped a beat seeing you, a wave of guilt wash over them as they're saw the large scar on your side and the little scars littered now and again on your face.
"Holy, shit it's Y/n! " Sam shouted out, cheers of excitment filled the room.
You gave everyone a deadly glare avoiding the eyes of your ex-girlfriends and moved to the blue punching bags and put a of pair red, soft gloves on and started the extensive day of training.
-------------------------------------------------------
The team were extremely impressed by your stamina, as you punched away for what felt like hours on end, you felt a pair of arms wrapped around your waist.
"hey, baby, can you maybe take a break, at least from this?" She whispered in your ear as you continued on, completely ignoring her question.
"Please" she asked, stretching out the e.
"No"
"Pretty please"
"Ugh fine!" You Shouted causing the team to look at you.
You broke free form her arms, quickly taking off the gloves and throwing them onto the floor. You moved over to the fight simulator, it was a big glass box that spawned matter- holograms for you to fight.
You stared at the control panel, looking at your options, easy, medium and hard, most people couldn't even make past medium but you wanted to succeed.
After selecting hard, you stepped in starting mentally preparing. You moved into a defense pose, waiting for the countdown to get to zero.
Zero. A buzzer sounded and the fight begun. -------------------------------------------------------
Around 30 minutes, your grunts started getting heavy causing them to escape the glass box and into the main room.
This drew attraction towards you. The whole team stopped what they were doing and watched in pure amazement as you never stopped, you body litter with bruises and cuts, hands bruised and abused, As you mindlessly kept on flipping, punching, kicking, and defending yourself. You never stoppped moving. pulling tricks they had never seen before or didn't even know was humanely possible, it was you vs a lot and you were wining. Around 5 minutes later, the team started getting worried was there notice the tears in your eyes, you refused to let yourslef stop moving. You were like a zombie that couldn't break free.
You hand been in there for around 2 hours now.
"Some turn this off! " Tony ordered, worried about you. Carol ran over to the control pannel and rapidly typed in the pin, pressing the bright right stop button.
As soon as simulation stopped and the the blue holograms fadded away with a zapping sound you fell on your knees started hysterically crying. Carol tried to come in but you screamed no.
That's when Wanda and Natasha knew they had to help you even if you didnt want them to, they were the only one's who knew how to calm you down during times like this.
As they entered the room you didn't notice them until Natasha scooped up your crying form, you fought and screamed more, realising that it was her, hitting her chest over and over again, trying to get out of her grip. She starting walking out the door and into the hallway towards the elevator. Carol rush after the two women.
"Hey, shes mine! " Carol screamed out still rushing after them.
"No!" Wanda whipped around, blasting Carol with her magic making her soar back and tumble to the ground.
Once Wanda joined Natasha in the elevator you had calmed down a bit slightly snuggling into her chest as she held you bridal style, missing her and her scent.
------------------------------------------------------
When Natasha sat down on the bed you guys used to share. She tighten her grip around around you and as Wanda kneel down infornt of you with putting both hands on your thighs. She began talking.
"Im so sorry Dekta, we're so sorry, we know your innocent, Carol framed you" Your eyes widen, and brows furrowed, Carol did this? "We miss you, please come back to us, well didnt mean to break our promise, I know it well take time for you for to trust us again, but let us work on that as a couple, please Dekta come back to us." She said holding eye contact, pleading with her eyes. You nodded.
"Im Sorry, and also sorry for all the insults too" Natasha added, kissing your forehead.
"I forgive, Sorry too for the insults too" you replied.
"Dont be, we deserve it" Wanda said getting up.
"Will you come back to us dekta? " wanda asked.
"Yes" you uttered out.
Natasha immediately showered your face in kisses, cheering you up.
"I'm delighted hunny" Wanda said as she took you out of Natasha arms and into hers. "let's get you cleaned up".
-------------------------------------------------------
Wanda carried you to the bathroom, and set you done on the counter, Natasha helped you get undress as, Wanda turned on the shower and set aside some of her's and Natasha's clothes for you to wear for when you finish.
Once you were undress, Wanda had return to you and Natasha.
"Do you mind if we join?" Wanda asked with a smile.
"I don't mind" you returned the smile to her.
After Nat and wands got undress they helped you into the shower.
Natasha stood behind you as she washed the grime out of your hair as Wanda lathered up the loofah as softly washed your body. Natasha and wands soon clean up each other, scrubbing off the thin layer of dirt from training.
The ex - spy soon left, soon coming back wrapping you, herself and wands a up in big white, fluffy towels, giving you both a big kiss.
After Nat blowdried your hair and braided it.
Wanda helped you get dressed leaning down and kissing your scar.
"I'm so sorry"
"It's okay" you empathized cupping her face, she leant into your touch, happy to have you back.
Once you were all dressed, you were thrown onto the king size bed, then suffocate by the two redheads. You were devoured by there beefy arms, happy to die this way.
finally you felt safe and happy again, ready for the revist. You could take on the world with your special girls.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nat and Wanda held you as could as they physically could, they watched you as your chest rised and fell over and over again. Happy that you finally were getting a good night's of sleep. They soon fell into slumber too.
They loved you so much, they would get Carol back for making them hurt and break you, they were going to make it painful and torturess, Ruin her and her life but they didn't want their little angel to know about the pure pain that there were going to inflict on this women, especially not when you had had a big day tomorrow...
