“ i did get spiderwebs in my hair. ” // @directordxnvers

"Clearly,” Simon snorted, peering at the top of Alex’s head and pulling a face. “There’s spiders there, too. At least three. They look poisonous, so. Nice knowing you.” It was a complete and utter lie, but some part of her probably suspected as much. Simon was pretty good at shooting the shit, when he wanted to be.

He probably shouldn’t be doing it now, was all. A joint DEO-Green Lantern mission usually meant the big guns were necessary, but so far? This one seemed to be a whole lot of nothing. An abandoned warehouse the DEO suspected had something fishy going on. So far? All they’d found were the spiderwebs in Alex’s hair. “How long before we call this thing a wash?”

Daisy had slipped into the DEO, it was a lot easier now that SHIELD wasn’t running her down at each turn. (She was still trying to work out the logistics of having all that job experience but none of it being quite legal, running around and hoping that something decent would land in her lap. Maybe she could try ethical hacking or something — there had to be money in the skills that she already had!) But as she started touching all the books on Alex’s desk and fidgeting with her pens, she heard Alex finally speak up. Daisy looked up, grinning as she clicked the pen in her hand a few more times, for good measure. “Is this helping or making it worse?”

‘ why did you hit him? ’ // @directordxnvers

This wasn’t how she meant to meet Alex in person for the first time. Despite everything, Yara wanted to make a good impression on the people in her sisters’ lives, and Alex Danvers seemed to be a part of that group. The ideal first meeting would have been at the baby shower, where things were calm and the mood was good, or at a dinner with things planned to fill the silence. Not sitting on a bench with her chin propped on her elbow, watching a pair of DEO agents bicker about whose jurisdiction an Amazon punching their colleague in the face fell under. 

Yara glanced up as Alex approached, stiffening slightly. At the question, she lifted her shoulder and dropped it. “He was looking at my ass,” she grumbled. “He deserved it. If you’re going to try to make me apologize, I’m going to leave. I don’t think any of you could stop me.” The only reason she hadn’t left already was because she was trying to salvage this, trying to regain that ‘good impression’ she’d probably already lost.

“The last time I saw you at a buffet you were…” Daisy motioned towards her belly, puffing out her cheeks before breaking into a smile. But a question from even longer before that lingered in Daisy’s mind. Would she ever be ready for something like that? Alex had asked her once, and Daisy… she would have skirted the question if she thought she could have gotten away with it. Her answer back then was that she wasn’t sure. And even now, she couldn’t imagine herself as a mother. She could barely imagine herself in a white dress or anything lasting longer than a couple years. Everything Daisy did came with an expiration date. And she and Robbie were no different from that. (Maybe that was why she was so hesitant to put a label on it. Scared that she’d officially set that timer.) “I saw a castle in a shop a few days ago. Like a dollhouse? Is Dylan into that kind of stuff yet?”

Her eyes never really left Danny. He was across the room now, talking to someone else, and Colleen was by the drinks, a glass in her hand, humming to herself as she kept looking. Even in a room full of people who knew him and barely knew her, she still felt comfortable. At home. Like nothing could reach her here. And considering who was in attendance, she had a feeling that if anything did happen, they’d be stopped on a dime. They were all safe, and Colleen wasn’t sure if she had ever felt this ease in a crowded place outside of the Hand.

But while the barn accommodated people eating inside, the outdoor space allowed for a lot more breathing. Some walking paths that she had talked to Danny about at length at the gala. Colleen stepped out of the barn, taking in a deep breath, the crisp night air helping immediately put her mind at ease. She moved down one of the paths, putting some distance between herself and the barn when she spotted Alex. One of Danny’s friends that had come. “Needed some air too?” She questioned, offering Alex a polite smile. “There’s a path that goes by the water that’s nice and quiet. If you wanted to step away from the party too.”

“Did I see Diana with your baby?” Simon slid into the empty space beside Alex with a quirk of his brow, offering her a beer uncertainly. His only experience with recent mothers was Sira, who never drank even before giving having Farid, but he was pretty sure it was allowed. Just... as long as the new mother in question wasn’t an incredibly devout Muslim woman who was much better at taking the ‘no drinking’ part of the Quran more seriously than Simon was.

He glanced out to the crowd, eyes trailing faces until they landed on Diana who was, in fact, holding a baby that looked suspiciously similar to Dylan. And given the fact that Alex was standing here, baby free... “You pawned your baby off, didn’t you? Alex, she’s never gonna give her back.”

Babies weren’t something that Diana had a lot of experience with, but she always had an immediate draw to them. Their faces, their vulnerability. A new life that had yet to be defined. A child that would need guidance. Diana was cradling Dylan with great care, rocking the child in her arms the second that Alex passed her towards her. “She’s beautiful,” Diana murmured, looking at Dylan before her attentions shifted to her mother. Alex was undergoing a journey that Diana couldn’t possibly imagine, but there was a brightness in her eyes despite that. A hopefulness that she would be helpful for both Alex and Dylan, even if only as a backdrop.

Dylan looked suspicious of Diana. She was a stranger holding her, after all, but to Diana, it felt like there was an immediate bond. Something that trust could be built on. To someone outside the three of them, she was sure that they would think it was odd. Diana looking for trust from an infant, looking at their mother and waiting permission. She was Wonder Woman to most of the people inside this room. But that didn’t mean unilateral trust. And Diana always respected that. Working to earing it because being asked to prove herself was less of an insult than people thought it was. “Does she come with instructions?” Diana asked, the warm smile on her face not fading for a moment. “Or do I get to show her off to everyone while you escape with…” Diana eyed Dinah across the room. “Dinah? I’m sure she’d be an excellent source of entertainment.” And Diana, truth be told, was excited at the prospect of babysitting. Even if only for a few hours.
