Pomp and Circumstance
Bendy-timed to before a couple of days before Loki showed up

Grace fidgeted with the sleeves of her black robe. The gold tassel from her cap dangled in front of her face.

She was graduating from high-school. Sure, it wasn't the school that she had started out at, but she did it. She'd put in the hard work, and she'd soon have the diploma to prove it.

The speeches having been over and done with, Grace stood in line with the kids from her row to get her diploma. As long as she didn't trip, everything would be perfect. Dad and the Defenders were somewhere in the crowd. She'd even told Zoey to invite Avery along. Her Mom had flown in from Boston to see her daughter graduate.

Grace could feel her heartbeat start to speed up, as she got closer to the platform.

"Grace Elizabeth Danvers!" Her name was called out by the vice-principal and she walked across the stage, taking her diploma from the principal, a wide grin on her face.

When all the names had been called and all of the seniors had officially graduated, Grace tossed her cap into the air along with the rest of the students. Then, picking it up, she rushed off to find the Defenders and her Mom. Mom had booked a room at a local restaurant for them to have all of them to have a nice dinner.

Dinner was a noisy and boisterous affair which since was fitting since they were celebrating. Simon's abrupt departure didn't put much of a damper on the celebration, but it still had an effect. Carol was in a good mood and was very proud of her daughter. Years of hard work on both their parts had paid off and Carol had a special gift for her daughter.

Carol waited until she was about ready to head back to her hotel for the evening to give Grace the last part of her graduation gift. Carol had accompanied the Defenders back to the compound and she walked into the kitchen carrying a clothes box.

	Carol gave her daughter a smile. She was proud beyond words and was showing it. Freely. "I do." She motioned to the box. "Open it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How about you say thank you and give me a hug?" Carol smiled at her daughter. Carol wasn't totally comfortable with the idea of her daughter out beating up bad guys, but she knew what it meant to Grace." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay," Grace wrapped her arms around her mother. "Thanks, Mom." She smiled. "I think...I'll go with Ms. Marvel, for a codename. What do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carol returned the hug. "I'm rather fond of it and I'd be honored if you used it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
