I held my smart little girl in my lap as Tony attached a new type of metal prosthetic arm to my stump. Tony had explained that the prosthetic would stimulate my nerves so I could feel things with it several days ago when he was in the process of engineering it. As soon as it was connected to me, I made a gesture to Steve so I could have him be the first one I touched with my new arm.

I ran my metal fingers across his lips, smiling when I found that I could actually feel his smooth, warm, pink lips.

"Does it actually work?" Tony asked, his eyes staring at the hand as I traced Steve's arm, clutching it slightly.

I look at him. "Excuse me, Mr Stark, but I think my metal arm is malfunctioning. I can FEEL STEVE'S FACE AND BODY. I CAN TELL HE'S WARM AND THAT HIS LIPS ARE SMOOTH."

Tony shot me an annoyed look and then went to go tell Peter that his invention actually works. Fang sauntered over with Talon holding his hand. Neither were wearing shirts and their wings were loosely folded on their backs. I poked the spot where Fang's belly button should be but isn't. Fang squirmed away as I proceeded to tickle him. I grinned. Jamie tapped their way over, using their cane like their eyes. Talon had promised to try to get my middle child their sight, even if he had to trade his own because Talon had taken to me and Jamie pretty quickly and was learning to like Steve a little bit more. He already loved Fang, so that was taken care of and Steve had threatened him about touching his kids in any way, shape, or form. I gently patted Jamie's frizzy hair and booped their nose.

"The arm works great, Tony." I said as he did the final adjustments and unhooked me from the medical assistance that he kept in his lab.

Tony gave me a slight smile. "I'm glad it works for you. Here's the best part:" Tony handed me a handheld mini remote control. He pointed at a button. "Push this little button and your arm looks normal and feels normal to everyone else." I pressed it. Sure enough, I had two matching arms made of human flesh. I changed my arm back before handing it back to Tony.

"Thanks but no thanks. I think that's a little much." I said, standing up and walking over to my bizarre family. "If I do that, I don't match any more."

"We can't have that." Fang said sarcastically.

"Nope. Now we all need to go to bed because it is way past our bedtimes. Fang's got a big day tomorrow and I don't want him to give Dr. Pika attitude. Talon, please don't do it tonight because Fang needs his rest and you like to keep him up at night. Jamie, I think you get to spend some time with Talon tomorrow because Talon has nothing else to do. Steve, you need to sleep. You haven't done it in days."

We dispersed into different rooms in Stark Tower because the apartment space is huge. I fell asleep as I spooned Steve, tucking him under my chin. Steve didn't sleep until around midnight and woke up to me startling awake from a nightmare an hour later. He held me and we drifted off around the same time.
