With Zoey with Avery for the weekend Syd had used the weekend to finish her paper for a class and wrap up the Scion end of quarter stuff. It had been a productive weekend and thankfully the chaos had been kept to a minimum as well. Maybe she was getting a Christmas gift early.

She poured herself a glass of wine and retreated to the library. Zoey would be home soon and Syd would spend the last few moments of free time with a glass of wine and a book. She curled up on one of the large couches in the library and dove into a book.

	Syd smiled. "I really do think and believe so, Avery. You have this /thing/ about you that makes you well suited for public office." "She will be able to handle it," Sydney said. "She's a strong kid and can handle a little public scrutiny. She did stand up to Galactus after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, she did. I can always tell people that our daughter is awesome enough to talk down a guy who eats planets." Avery says, half-jokingly. It still amazed and scared him that his daughter, at six years of age, had stood up to a being that was likely a live before the universe was even created.

Growing up with gods had its advantages.

"You know they'll also look for information about us, right?" he asks.

	Some of the things Zoey did terrified her, but her daughter had a lot of very powerful people at her back. Syd of course would rather not have Zoey out there, but outside of moving away she had little hope of stopping it. "I know," she said. "What would you like me to tell them if I get asked?"

	"The truth." Avery says simple. "Any thing less, people will use later on." He kisses her. "/We/ are what's important to me, Sydney. Zoey and us." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The truth it is then," she said and returned his kiss. "I just don't want to say something I shouldn't. I will try to keep the kids away from any reporters." One never knew what the godlings would say. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, I don't want to disrupt anyone's lives any more than these type of things do...but thank you." Avery smiles.

"Since I've gotten to know the Defenders a lot of my views on super-humans and gods have changed. I admit, I used to be afraid of them and afraid of you and Zoey being so near them all the time. Now, I realize this is the safest place for both of you and you're both happy." Avery says.

	"Disruptions are the norm around the place," Syd said with a smile. "But I appreciate the thought." "Sometimes I'm scared witless, but I know they would protect Zoey with their lives if they had to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
