Benedict's POV

Me, Emily and Ivy stand outside of the house and Ivy lets out a shivery sigh.

"You okay?" I ask, Ivy taking hold of Emily's hand.

Something was wrong.

I simper at her, and lightly knock on the door, straightening my jacket.

After a few moments, the door opens and out pops Chris' head.

"Ben!" He says in a friendly tone. Chris throws an arm around my shoulder and I throw my arm around him.

He pulls away from the hug and looks at Ivy.

"Sorry, yes, this is Ivy and her daughter, Emily." Ivy smiles at Chris, who shakes her hand.

"Nice to meet you and Emily." Chris looks down at Emily, who jumps forward, squealing.

"Hi Thor." Chris smiles and Ivy chuckles.

"Tonight, please Emily, call me Chris." Emily shakes her head.

"Na, I like Thor better."

"Who's at the door Chris?" A female voice spoke.

"Oh, just a couple of friends Elsa." Elsa walks out and smiles at me and Ivy.

"Hi. Welcome. I'm Elsa, Chris'-"

"-wife yes." Ivy simpers. "Nice to meet you." Elsa, pecks Chris on his cheek.

"Well, come on in!" I take a step forward but then move back.

"After you Ivy." She bows her head as Emily jumps in front of us with Chris.

Me and Ivy smirk at the fact that a ten year old girl was now 'fangirling' on Chris, which was quite amusing.

Ivy wraps her arms around herself and I catch Tom in my eye.

"Ben!"

"Tom!" We greet each other, happily and hug each other, tapping our backs.

"Gosh, thought the chauffeur got lost!" I chuckle.

"No, no. I mean, it's great to see you. Properly."

"At least there are no more codenames!" Tom laughs and so do I. He then looks behind me. "You brought her then." I frown then look behind me.

"Yes, I... did, told you on the phone. I said-"

"Where's Lucy?" I shake my head. "What?"

"Lucy is on her way." Emily paces towards me.

"Ben!" She gasps and points at Tom. "It's Loki!" Tom laughs and hold out his hand, Emily pressing her smaller hands inside his.

"Nice to meet you too." I clear my throat and see the amount of champagne behind him. Subtly, he steps in front of it.

"Loki is probably the best character. I mean, Thor needs to value his brother. And so does Odin." I smile and notice Emily's eyes.

They looked familiar.

Familiar to my own.

I let out a frown and studied them.

She looked like... well, a younger, girl version combined with me and Ivy.

But, there was no way.

Probably a coincidence.

Ivy rushed towards Emily, standing behind her.

"Hi."

"Hello, Ivy yes?" Ivy nodded, gulping.

"Yes. Um..." She was nervous. Exact expression as myself when I was at the interview.

Ivy's POV

I didn't really know what to say.

This just felt so familiar to what happened when I was a younger.

And I couldn't help it, but picture Olivia in my head.

It was hurting me inside.

It will shattering me and no one knew. No one apart from-

"Hello!" Lucy. I turned around and smiled at my best friend.

"Luce!" Throwing my arms around her, we squeezed each other tightly.

"Oh! It's great to be here." I noticed Jesen by her side, dressed in a suit. Dean, I mean, Jensen Ackles, in a suit.

First time for everything.

"Hey Ivy." He smiled.

"Ben!" She moves towards Benedict and hugged him.

"Hey Lucy, nice to see you here. You look nice." She giggled.

"Thank you." My eyes fixated on Tom. He was staring at Lucy. Why did I have a small suspicion...

"Hello Lucy, my you look amazing." Lucy smiled but didn't actually go towards Tom.

Oh yeah, she was doing that thing.

The thing where she didn't want to be involved with her crushed and instead, she would be awkward and move away from them.

Sometimes she would trip onto them, all because of the awkwardness. But, not deliberately.

"Right, shall we get some... refreshments?" Lucy squealed. "Is that what you call it here?" Tom and Jensen chuckled.

"Yes."

"Well come on then! I, you coming?" I smile slightly and knew that I was struggled in the next moment.

"I'll... catch you up."

"Come on Em!" Emily clutched Lucy's hand and they both walked off. As did I.

I made my way onto a balcony and pressed my elbows against the railing.

"Ivy." I freeze.

It was Benedict. "You coming?"

"N-no, I'd rather stay here." I hear his voice get louder.

"Oh, okay." I bite my bottom lip and some tears form in my eye.

I couldn't exactly control my emotions. "You going to come though?" I didn't answer. "Ivy?"

He was coming towards me and I cover my mouth with my hand.

"... Ivy." He stood next to me. "What is it?" I sniffle, and deny my emotions.

"Nothing..."

"I know, I'm your employee... I want to know." He places his hand next to mine on the rail. "As a friend. I want to help."

I face him and he smiles at me. Comforts me.

And by that note, I wanted him to know.

I wanted him to know about the day that my best friend had died.

And so, I opened my mouth, and let the truth weave into his ears...
