Labor Day - Avengers
The air was warm and the sun was bright making it a perfect day for a cookout to celebrate Labor Day. Classes would start on the 8th (for those going to college they started a week ago) and it was the last chance to kick back and cut loose before hitting the books.

At the Avengers' Mansion in NYC Jarvis and some helpers he managed to rope into helping with the preparations were busy getting the food ready. Tables had been placed out around the pool and the large grill fired up to get nice and hot. Burgers, hot dogs, sausage, ribs, corn on the cob, pasta salad, salad and fruit salad were just some of the food available to eat. Soda, water, fruit juice and other beverages were on ice.

To help get to know each other the Thunderbolts received an invitation to attend.

It was a day of rest and relaxations for those who put their lives on the line for others.

Anya came down to New York with the Thunderbolts and introduced them to the Avengers. She usually loved holidays because it meant a trip to New York and a chance to be with her family, friends and Steve. Only there was no Steve now.

Coming back to the mansion was bittersweet. It was her home, but she expected to see Steve there and her heart broke all over when she didn't see him.

She didn't linger long at the cookout. She didn't feel like being social or eating. Not yet.

She slipped inside and made her way into the garage. She climbed into the front seat of Steve's Impala and closed her eyes. The scent of his cologne lingered and a sad smile appeared on her face. A discarded shirt lay on the seat on the passenger's side along with some cds. Anya picked up the shirt and held it against her chest. Her fingers brushed across the cool metal of the ring hanging on a chain around her neck. It was one of the rings they bought in Vegas when the others had thought they had run off to get married. She had worn it on a chain since that day.

God she missed him. She opened her eyes and the tears started forming.

	Molly had noticed Anya slink off into the garage. Putting down her plate, she excused herself and followed after her. She didn't need words. Though she didn't know exactly how Anya felt, she had an idea. She missed Sarah everyday. She walked wordlessly up to Anya and wrapped her arms around her, holding her close to her.

	Anya leaned into Molly and just cried. She knew she shouldn't have come back here. Not this soon. Steve's presence was all around and it was torture. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly rubbed Anya's back, trying not to cry herself. "Do you want to go? We don't have to stay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No," Anya said. She pulled back and wiped her eyes. "I can't bail. I'll be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay," Molly said. She took Anya's hand and gave it a squeeze. "Just so you know, though, I'm right here next to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said and hugged Molly. "It means a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)
