Sharon sighed, placing her hands on her hips as Goldie simply hummed and continued to pick flowers in the garden at the compound.

"Goldie, what did I tell you about wandering off?"

Goldie looked up and smiled at Sharon, showing her the flowers she picked. Sharon took her hands off her hips and smiled at the innocent Siren.

Bruce was sitting beside Goldie, towering over her and looking simply enormous in the field of small flowers. Kasia was curled up on his lap with a flower crown on her head, which was no doubt a gift from Goldie.

Sharon walked over to them and sat next to Goldie. Noticing Goldie moving her mouth around, she looked at Bruce who had a handful of candies.

"You sure have a sweet tooth," said Sharon.

Bruce chuckled. "Yeah, it gives me something to munch on. It lessens the stress on Kasia whenever I'm too busy to eat."

"Meow."

Goldie held out a piece of candy to Sharon, who took it and popped the strawberry-flavored ball into her mouth.

"How are you?" asked Sharon.

"Better. She helps with the nightmares," answered Bruce.

Sharon got to know Bruce after she, Goldie, and Goldie's siblings relocated to the compound after their safe house was compromised.

Sharon nodded. "That's good. Heard from Steve?"

Bruce shook his head. "Off the grid. But it's okay. We all need a break after Thanos. Wanda is... She's not doing very good. She just sits in her room all day. Sam is keeping things going, but Bucky is retired. I think he'll come back eventually though."

"Pepper?"

"She drowns herself in work, but still takes care of Morgan. Marigold helps around. They need each other," explained Bruce.

"Well, Fairies are good with children," said Sharon. "Crazy how more humans are having supernatural help in their normal lives. I never thought this would happen."

Bruce nodded. "After Thanos, people need it." He smoothed down Kasia's fur repeatedly. "I know I do. So, are you going to be staying with Goldie long?"

Sharon glanced at Goldie. "Sirens are rare now. HYDRA and the Mutants are still capturing them, so I'll be taking care of Goldie and her siblings. I don't mind though."

Bruce looked down at Kasia. "Yeah, I know what you mean."
