Chapter 3
"It's the Triskelion!"
Alicia looked out the circular window to see what was a large building from afar.
"That isn't Teskys," Alicia said.
Henry laughed.
"It houses the agents of shield," Henry said.
"Oh!" Alicia said. "The mutants." Henry looked over toward the dark woman.
"They are not called mutants here," Henry said. "everyone calls them inhumans."
"Is there any difference between them?" Alicia asked.
"Copyright differences," Henry said. "but since Disney has acquired fox. . . "
"So that means we can call them mutants," Alicia said.
"Not until they say so," Henry said. "With our arrival, we just made a alternate universe so they may."
"That's just chipper," Alicia said, as the helicopter lowered down to the roof of the Triskelion.

Alicia had cup of coffee, finally. The taste of the coffee stood out to her tongue and seemed off to her liking. She watched Henry take out toys from his backpack that consisted of a blonde man, a woman with pitch black antlers protruding from her head, a toy that bore resemblance to his costume, three male warriors with toy weapons, a male figure dressed like a cat, and two female warriors that he set on the table. Alicia recognized Wonder Woman and Black Panther separated from the rest of the toys. Henry scooted a trash can over then dropped placed his arm on the table that he sent forward sliding the other toys into the trash can. They landed in to the trash can with a thud. Henry placed the toys into opposing pockets made of dark netting on both sides of the backpack.
"I don't need this anymore," Henry said, taking out his folders and books.
"Hold on," Alicia said. "You don't know how long we're going to be here."
"I have a rough idea," Henry said. "A rough idea like Mr Laufeyson really dying," he dropped his folder into the trash can. "Which is never." her heart sank. "He fakes his death in every Thor movie, with the exception of Ragnarok," he placed his math book on to the counter then his science book, literature book, and his social studies book. "Like you said, I'm going to make it my home."
Alicia nodded.
"That is true," Alicia said. "but you shouldn't give up some hope you will see your mother again."
"The chances are of seeing mom are when I am a teenager, relocated to somewhere that she happens to be, or a old man who spent a lifetime looking for the right equation to bring me home," Henry said. "Those chances get the cops called on a average person for waiting in the house to surprise someone and sometimes that is just creepy." Alicia laughed, her shoulders rolling up and down, as the boy dropped his homework into the trash can. "Look to the now, Miss Gold, we are in a new age." Henry came back to the table then opened the plastic casing containing the cheeseburger and snatched several of the napkins. "Starting now, I am divorced from Marvel."
"And what about Wakanda?" Alicia asked. "Wakanda is on Earth." He took a bite out of his cheese burger. "It's okay to be angry." a blonde muscular figure was standing beside the doorway. "Everyone has the right to be angry about what happened at New York and you don't have to forgive him immediately. That comes on later after healing." Alicia pause, lowering her gaze toward her cup. "I should have not stayed so long at fun city. I would have noticed and you would have your mom. "
"What?" Henry asked, gulping down his bite. "It's not your fault."
"I am the bus driver," Alicia said. "I have to pay attention to the road, Henry. I didn't."
"If you hit a deer that unexpectedly come out, would you feel the same?" Henry said.
"No," Alicia said.
"Then you shouldn't be angry at yourself," Henry said. "It was a accident. Accident means 'an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury'. And if you were trying to compare this to Mr Laufeyson, that's not the right way to compare our situations."
"How is it then?" Alicia asked.
"You can't," Henry said.
"It's a matter of opinion," Alicia said, then took another ship.
Henry cupped the side of his face then turned his gaze up and loudly gasped.
"Mr Odinson!" Henry said.
"Heimdall told me my brother is here," Thor said.
Henry took out the Loki toy from the trash can then tossed it into Thor's hands.
"Loki? Loki? Loki," Thor tapped on it hard until a familiar voice came from the figure.
"I AM BURDENED WITH A GLORIOUS PURPOSE AND YOU ARE GLORIOUS AS WELL!" came from the figure.
"Loki!" Thor said, then stormed out squeezing the toy. "Father is furious!"
"I AM BURDENED WITH A GLORIOUS PURPOSE AND YOU ARE GLORIOUS AS WELL!" echoed down the hall.
"He does know that's a toy, right?" Alicia asked.
"Mr Laufeyson can transform into anything," Henry said. "He could be a piece of fiber, a bug, or a toy. One time Thor found a carpet he liked so he picked it up but then it turned into the god of mischief who shouted, "BLAGH, IT'S me!" and stabbed him with a dagger in the hand!"
"Did that really happen?" Alicia asked.
"It could have," Henry said. "I'm sorry," he looked down toward the toys that he picked up off the table. "Mr T'Challa, Miss Prince, I have to throw you away too." Henry came back to the trash can and dropped his toys in. "I am not taking the chance that one of you is him."
Alicia came over with her cup of coffee and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"We can make you toys better than that," Alicia said.
"I doubt that," Henry said.
"You're doubting someone who grew up having to make her own toys and didn't have that much money to start off with," Alicia said. "You shouldn't," she lowered herself down to his level. "Because we are going to do it together."
"What does that make you?" Henry asked. "I am not having another mother figure as I have one back home."
"Think of me as your neighborhood aunt," Alicia said, raising the glass up in mid air with a grin. "Do you have a aunt?"
"No, " Henry said.
"I am going to be the aunt you never had," Alicia said.
