Corn reigns supreme, the toaster pledged his life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For weeks, I studied the technology I had copied from the Nova Corps to no avail, proving that even with the help of Hank this task was surprisingly hard, but I had no rush.
Sure, I wanted the technology to work as soon as possible, and to be able to fit on my armor, but while that happened, I would make a middle step armor, the armor before the armor I wanted.
Something simple yet sophisticated, something useful, something to fill the void until I acquired what I needed to create the real armor I wanted.
So, with Hank working on the Nova Corps tech, I moved to work on my little project.
"This will take us years to crack kiddo," Hank whistled, wiping off the sweat from his eyebrow.
I smiled, "Well, the best things in life are usually worth waiting for,"
Hank snorted, "I suppose that has so merit to it,"
"So, how's the daughter?" I asked, making conversation as I sketched how I wanted my armor to look.
"Good, she's growing fast, I'll tell you, those days go by fast," Hank sighed, slumping down to his seat, "She's just like her mother you know?" He chuckled in a sad tone, "Smart, brave, and eager to change the world…"
"I didn't have the pleasure of meeting your wife, but even I know she would be proud," I smiled, patting him on the back.
"I hope so," Hank sighed, looking at the floor.
[A New Quest Has Been Created = Rescue Janet Van Dyne!
Janet Van Dyne is trapped on the quantum realm, and it's your task to save her!
Objectives = Rescue Janet Van Dyne.
Side Objectives = Convince Hank Pym you are not lying about his wife.
Rewards = ???]
I blinked in mild shock, she was alive? God, I didn't remember shit from that movie, poor Hank, I had to get a quest to remember his wife was alive, now the question is… how the fuck do I convince Hank she's alive without making him think I am after his technology?
"I've been thinking," Hank spoke, breaking me out of my train of thought, "How about we make a barbecue, you know, so that the girls get to meet each other, I would love for Hope to be friends with your girls," he smiled.
"Sure," I smiled, my mind blank, because I had no idea how to break the news to him, and how to make them believable.
"Great!" Hank smiled.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the end, I came to the resolution of not telling Hank shit, meaning I would do this mission by myself, using his technology with my [Technomancy] rescuing his wife and breaking the news to him she was alive there and then.
I mean, I was operating under the wise say, that said, it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
Though that would be for later.
Right now, I had a few things to do, before I was able to help Janet, like leveling up my [Technomancy] because apparently operating his machine required a very high level, even higher than the one required to copy the Sentinels from the future.
"Alex," Bucky called as he entered into my lab, "Sif's here,"
Sif?
I blinked, looking at my minimap, and sure enough, she was here, but why?
"Thanks for letting me know,"
"Do I need to have the talk with you?" Bucky grinned, looking at me.
I snorted, walking past him without even acknowledging his comment. I had a beautiful lady waiting for me, and I would be damned if I allowed Bucky to ruin this moment for me.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alex," A smile beamed across Sif's face, as she saw me enter the living room, where she had been waiting for me, talking with the girls to kill time.
"Dad!" Emily smiled, jumping from the couch to my arm.
"Careful there baby girl, your dad is getting old," I winked.
"Silly," Emily chuckled, running back to the sofa with a smile on her face.
"So, Sif," I smiled, turning my attention to Sif, who was still smiling, "What brings you to my humble abode?" Great, of all the things I could've possibly said to break the ice, I decided to go all lame on her.
"Well," Sif began, "I had some free time, and I thought, why not see if Alex wanted to share it with me, so… do you?"
"Yes, of course," I nodded, "I would love to, just let me clean up, and we'll be on our way,"
"Sure, but this time, the date is on me," Sif stated, pulling a bag full of gold from her jacket, "This ought to cover our expenses right?"
"Maybe it's her who needs the talk," Bucky chuckled, to which I opened a portal under him, moving him into the pool, his sass needed to cool down.
"It's not enough is it? I knew it!" Sif sighed, "I said, Sif, bring two bags of gold, but no, I had to bring one instead,"
"No, no, that's more than enough, that's a lot of money in Midgard standards, like… a lot," I chuckled, pointing at her bag. "Look, how about you let me shower, and then I'll help you figure out how much money you have, okay?"
"So.. it's enough?" Sif asked, with a hopeful look.
"Yes," I nodded.
"Good, then, I shall wait for you here," Sif smiled.
"Omg! She's adorable! Can we keep her!" Out of nowhere, Alice jumped from the shadows, towards Sif, hugging the unexpecting warrior.
Sif, as the trained warrior she was, kicked Alice off her, before rushing to attack the sudden intruder, but before that could happen, I used my telekinesis to stop her, "Don't worry Sif, she's just… mentally questionable,"
"Hey!" Alice pouted, "I mean, it's true, but still… it hurts,"
"Who is she?" Sif asked, frowning.
"My sister," I replied with a sigh of my own.
"You have a sister?" Sif blinked in shock.
"Now I do…" I replied, "It's complicated… I'll explain on the date,"
"Don't worry sis, we are siblings like in the disney movies," Alice winked, approaching Sif, "Not like in porn," she whispered.
"Porn?" Sif muttered, and thank goodness Emily didn't hear her.
Moving faster than I even knew I could, I approached Sif, and whispered, "Don't say that word in front of the children, I'll also explain that later…"
"Understood," Sif nodded.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clean and ready for my date with Sif, I walked out of my room, looking fine if I do say so myself.
Finding Sif playing cards with Emily and Nat.
"Are you ready? Or in the middle of a game?" I asked with a chuckle, approaching Sif from behind.
"I am ready, your daughters are merciless warriors when it comes to playing cards," Sif chuckled.
"I made some gold," Nat grinned, showing a few pieces of gold she had won playing cards against Sif.
"Give that back," I frowned, no daughter of mine would gamble, besides I knew she had cheated, I had seen it do it many times before.
"Fine," Nat sighed.
"It's okay Alex, I lost fair and square," Sif said.
"Sif, Nat cheats when playing cards," I snorted, "The only fair and square about those games, is how good she is at moving the cards, heck, she has tricked me a few times during family nights,"
"I KNEW IT!" Emily roared, tossing the cards onto the floor, "You cheating meanie! Give me back my teddy bear!"
"I didn't cheat that time!" Nat shot back.
"You shouldn't cheat at all!" Emily and I said and the same time.
"Where's the fun in that? I mean, you guys play cards, but I play a whole other game, the cheating game, my record so far is three days without no one noticing I cheat," Nat grinned.
"I will get my teddy bear back!" Emily huffed.
"You can play me for it," Nat grinned, shuffling the cards like a fucking pro.
"I… I will come back later to read a book of parenting about how to tackle this… but for now, give me the gold you 'won' from Sif," I sighed.
"Sure thing dad," Nat nodded, handing me the gold.
"Well, see ya girls later!" I chuckled as I walked to the door with Sif, smiling at Nat's shenanigans.
"So, she cheated?" Sif asked.
"Yes, but not with a bad intention, we are simply her test subjects so to speak," I chuckled, "She enjoys testing her skills with us, to gauge how effective they are, last month she was spying on me to see how long it would take for me to notice, the month before that she was testing her surprise attacks on Bucky… every month she changes what she tests, and this time well, she was testing how good she is at cheating,"
"Well, she's very good," Sif chuckled, "I have played with a lot of cheaters, and have caught them all, but her? She's a master, and so young, what a talented little girl,"
I nodded, feeling proud, "That's my girl,"
"So, about Alice?" Oh right, I promised to tell her.
"Well," I sighed, "She's me, but… a female version, I guess, it's complicated,"
"She's you?" Sif frowned.
"The universe is a curious thing, and well, she's the result of that," I chuckled, "She comes from a dimension where… well, where I was supposed to be a woman, I suppose,"
"So… an alternative version of you?" Sif muttered, tilting her head.
"Yes, so to speak, but beyond our last names, we are very different," She was crazy for one.
"Yes, I saw that," Sif chuckled.
"Indeed," I nodded with a laugh.
"Well, enough about that, time to start our date!" Sif proclaimed, shaking his bag of gold.
"About that," I smiled, pointing at her bag, "With that much Gold, we could probably finance a million dates,"
"Really?" Sif asked, "Midgard's finance is confusing."
"Not rea– ok, yes you have a point," I nodded, "So, before we begin, if you truly want to pay for this date, let us first exchange a bit of that gold for money,"
"Sure," Sif nodded.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After changing a bit of Sif's gold in a gold buyer for cash, emphasis on a bit, because five ounces of all of her gold gave her 2000 dollars, after that, we went on our date.
And in a very cute manner, Sif proved to be ready for said date, she even had a map to navigate New York, and a list of places she thought were worth visiting marked on the map.
Some were not, but seeing her so happy with this made me feel happy.
First, we went to an old restaurant nearby my house and ate traditional Italian cuisine.
Then, from there, Sif took me to an ice cream shop, where she was determined to test every flavor on the menu.
The Shop had two hundred flavors.
From there, we went to the park, where we walked and talked for a few hours, sharing stories, while holding hands, because she had read on a newspaper humans when courting did such a thing.
After that, she took me to a bar, called the Asgardian Home.
Quite the name, if I do say so myself.
"Alex, this date has been wonderful," Sif smiled.
"It has, you did your homework," I nodded, ordering a beer.
"I did," Sif nodded, "Thor helped me, he found this map, and the newspaper, but I did the rest," she smiled proudly.
She was so beautiful, so strong, so fierce, and at times, so innocent, so cute, it was mesmerizing.
"Sif, I want to kiss you,"
Sif looked at me, and with a smile said, "Do it then, or I might take it as an offense if you don't push on your pursues,"
Without another word, I moved closer to her, and let our lips meet for the first time of many.

[Thor Odinson POV]
Today of all days, I was hanging out with Heimdall.
Why? Well, I wanted to know how Alex's date with Sif was going.
"Did they kiss yet?" I asked, Heimdall.
"No," Heimdall groaned, "My prince, don't you have anything better to do?"
"No, not really," I shook my head, how kind of Heimdall to ask.
"So… how about now? Have they kissed yet?" I asked once again.
"For the hundredth time n- no no, wait, they are kissing now," Heimdall replied.
"Huzzah!" I grinned, for I, Thor the God of Thunder had done the ultimate mighty brother deed, I had become the best winggod ever!
