"Carol? What are you doing here? I thought you were off in space?" Athena stammered out. Carol chuckled. "I came back." Athena nodded. "I see that. How long are you back for?" Carol shrugged. "A good while, I suppose. Why? Wanna get back together or something?" Before Athena could answer her mom came into the training room. "Danvers don't bother with my daughter. She's seeing someone new, so you can politely fuck off." Carol put her hands up in surrender. "I wasn't gonna do anything. I was just talking to her, that's still ok isn't it?"

Athena picked the knives up off the floor and walked off to throw them. "It's fine, just keep it to talking. Your leaving really messed her up." Natasha stated. Carol nodded. "Got it. I'll leave her alone." 'Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!' Every knife Athena threw hit the target dead center. "She's still good at that." Carol murmured as the door opened again in walked Lucy. "You must be Carol...right?" Lucy asked. Carol looked at Lucy. "Yea, that's me." "You two talk. I'm gonna go throw knives with my daughter." Natasha said with a smirk before she walked off.

Lucy eyed Carol for a moment before speaking. "So you're the exe? The one who disappeared off into space without a second look at Athena." Carol nodded solemnly. "That's pretty much what happened yea. So you're the new girl in her life?" Lucy looked at Athena then to Carol. "That's one way to say it." 'Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!' The sounds of more knives hitting the wooden target caused both women to look their way. "That was fun mama, but you know the knife is supposed to hit the target. Not bounce off." Athena teased. "Shut up brat! I missed one and I wouldn't have if yours wasn't already there." Natasha shot back.
