When Out On the Lawn There Arose Such a Clatter
Christmas. Yule. Saturnalia. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many cultures have celebrated and still celebrate a winter festival. There have been many names for it over the millennia. No matter the name it is a time to come together and celebrate with feasts and gifts with friends and loved ones.

Each culture has a legendary figure who would deliver gifts to children during this time. In Russia and some Slavic cultures he is known as Ded Moroz, Grandfather Frost, and comes not on Christmas but on New Year’s along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, or ‘”Snow Maiden”. In the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe he is known as Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Belgium he is known as Saint Nicholas or “Sinterklaas” and in France he is known as Père Noël. In the United States we know him as Santa Claus.

No matter the name or who is delivering gifts, it is the season of peace, joy and togetherness. It is the season for thinking about loved ones, friends and those less fortunate. It is a time to witness the goodness and generosity the human race is capable of. It is a time for peace on Earth and goodwill toward man

The Avengers' Mansion was decorated and festive. Inside the Avengers celebrated Christmas Day. Outside there was a flash of light and six time and dimensionally displaced Avengers showed up.

Crap.

"I'm fine." Ronnie says, not turning around right away. She continues fluffing the already-fluffed pillow. Crying in front of Bobby was even worse than crying in general, because it told him that she was weak. Ronnie had always envied her teammates' closeness with their parents.

The only other person she could claim to be close to was Aunt Vernique, whom she saw more than her own father. She'd never even met her mother.

"I'll be back down in a bit. Just need to get the rest of the rooms done and then I need to work on my car again." she says.

"Or maybe I need to buy another one to work on. I figure we've got all that extra space in the garage, so my boys should keep your girls company, right?" she says, trying to sound braver than she feels, though she still doesn't turn around.

Bobby closed the distance between them and placed his hands on her shoulders. He knew girls, cars and human ones, and he knew when one was upset.

Gently he turned her around. He smiled and put his arms around her to pull her in against him. "Well as luck would have it, there's a shell of a '69 Mustang sitting in the garage for you. It's your Christmas present. I was figuring the two of us could work on her together."

He kissed her temple. "Tell me what's bothering you, Beautiful Goddess," he quietly urged.

Ronnie melts into Bobby's arms, resting her head on his chest. The sound of his heart comes through to her loud and clear, and she lets the sound fill her as her arms wrap around him. He knows just how to weaken her and they both know it.

She's silent for awhile before she finally speaks.

"He wouldn't even look at me, Bobby. I swear, if I didn't know any better, I would say it's him. He looks and sounds exactly the same. He's so distant and aloof and I can't even tell what he's thinking, just like always." she says.

"I-I didn't expect him to show up and say anything crazy like he was coming home to stay...but I wish I mattered to him, any version of him, as much as his damned hunting or his designing or...anything!" she says.

Finally, Ronnie's shoulders heave and she cries against Bobby, one of the few people who's always been there for her.

Bobby held her tightly while she cried. He wanted to wave a wand or build a device that would take all the pain she was carrying inside of her away, but he couldn't. The most he could do was be there when she needed him and it's exactly what he tried to do.

He didn't tell her it would be alright or that it would be okay. False hope didn't really do anyone any good in the end.

"Not that I'm defending him, but remember this one isn't your father yet and isn't that much older than us. Learning that he has a future daughter, or could have, is a big shock and maybe he isn't handling it well. Did you see Svalin? Nothing rattles the one we know and this one was clearly rattled when she learned about Solver. I know you want him to acknowledge you, but give this one a little time for the shock factor to wear off. I'm sure he has a million questions for you." His voice was soft and low when he spoke to her.

"Who knows, maybe by the end of tonight we'll all be sitting around the fire laughing and telling stories after we've had too much of Solver's mead."

He kissed the side of her head. The smell of her shampoo lingered and soft silky strands tickled.

"You geniuses and your logic." Ronnie chuckles through the tears, laying a kiss along his jaw.

She sighs.

"I shouldn't take my issues with my dad out on...my dad, but I'd like to know if this is how things are where he is. Does he have issues with my grandfather, too? I've got a ton of questions for him, too." she says.

"Will you make sure I don't go too crazy tonight?" Ronnie asks.

He gently brushed some hair back from her face and then wiped tears away with his thumbs. "I won't let my beautiful goddess go crazy tonight," he promised. "I swear on my cars."

He looked in her eyes and placed a kiss on her nose. "Talk to him. Ask him your questions. He probably has a million for you." He kissed her nose again. "I'll be right there beside you if you want me to be."

"Do you know how amazing you are? I know I don't say it as much as I should, but I appreciate you, Bobby. You get me, and I have no idea how or why." she says, considering his offer to be with her if and when Eli should come back.

"I'd really like it if you would. You'll stop me if I stick my foot in my mouth or something." she smiles, looking up at him and smiling brightly at the kiss to her nose.

She was falling in love with him more and more each day, but she couldn't tell him that. She didn't want him to leave, too.

"Of course I know how amazing I am," he said with a grin. "I /am/ a Stark and a Barton."

He was joking...mostly. He wouldn't deny having an ego, but he did care about others. Especially family and those that were really special to him.

"I will always be here for you, Veronika. I will give up my cars before I even think about leaving you."

He kissed her. He was falling madly in love with her and it scared the hell out of him. Well before this point is would he would have left a girl, but Veronika was different. He didn't know why and he didn't want to know. He just wanted her.

	"Yes, I know. Amazing runs in your genes." Ronnie says, returning the kiss. She pulled him closer to her as the kiss deepened, losing herself in him more and more with each passing moment. "I really, really hope Alter-Dad, Solver, or Miranda doesn't think to look for us right now." she whispers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Bobby smiled. "It does. Just ask my dad or either grandfather."

Bobby kissed her again. As much as he wanted to whisk her away from dealing with this and to be alone with her, but there was business to attend to.

"I know and as much as I want alone time with you right now, we have things to deal with. When this is all over, I will take you anywhere you want to go and we can be alone. I promise." A quick kiss. "But for now we have Kang business to deal with."

"I'm holding you to that Stark-Barton." Ronnie says, sighing.

"Bobby, do you think we can beat Kang? We're still not any closer to figuring out what he's doing to Solver and, not to be a down, but the Sentry could wipe the floor with the rest of us with one arm tied behind his back." she says.

"I was thinking that if I can get close enough to him...I may be able to shut his mind down and wipe it out completely. If his brain doesn't function, he can't guard Kang, right?" she asks, looking up to him hopefully.

"Maybe if I had a big enough distraction, I could give Solver and the others the time they need to get in there and stop Kang." she says.

Of course, she could also die /horribly/. She's not even sure her father and cousin Iason could handle the Sentry/Void/whatever he was.

Outside of Solver, though, she was the only other godlike being on the team and she wanted to help more than she had been. Right now, she wished she had any of her father's powers at all.

	He put his forehead against hers. "We can," he said. "We have us and now more Avengers. Two more Eternals, one Asgardian, Uncle Charlie, Ryan and Aunt Vernique. I know we can do this." "I think we should wait to see what our strategic geniuses come up with before any of us go and do something rash." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're probably right. Hey, just promise me that, whatever happens, you'll watch your back out there." Ronnie says. "I know you're awesome, but you don't have to prove it to anyone. Let's just make sure we get through this in one piece." Ronnie says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You won't get rid of me that easily," he said. "But I will be careful as long as you are. I don't want to lose you or anyone else." He kissed her long and deep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, come on. Who's going to make you sandwiches when you remember to eat and come up from the garage with those puppy dog eyes of yours if I'm not around?" Ronnie asks. She pauses. "I won't do anything crazy, Bobby. Don't worry, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: While Making Rooms Presentable i_asked_grandpa 2010-12-27 06:41 am UTC (link)
	"I dunno. Maybe Suze will take pity on me," he said with a grin. The grin faded quickly. "You better not and I'm going to worry, Ronnie. I don't know what this is, whatever is going on between us, but I want a chance to find out where it leads. I can't do that if something happens to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: While Making Rooms Presentable ifmemoryserves 2010-12-27 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	"We'll find out together, Bobby. I promise. When this is over, we're going to that island your family owns for a month or so to talk about things." Ronnie smiles. "In the meantime...the world still needs the Avengers and we're going to be there." she says, kissing him once more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounds like a plan, my beautiful goddess." He gave her another deep kiss. "It does and we will always be there." He offered an arm. "Let's go downstairs. We have guests to see to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: While Making Rooms Presentable ifmemoryserves 2010-12-27 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	His kiss makes her forget, for a moment, all about the anxiety and fear that she's feeling. The kiss ends too soon and Ronnie takes hold of his arm, giving him a small smile. "No time like the present, right?" she says, laying her head on his shoulder and following him downstairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)
