Athena finished up in her shower and got dried off and dressed again all while Carol stood by watched. "Enjoying the show?" Athena asked. "Yes." Carol replied smirking. "Did you have a good day?" Athena asked. "Yea it was ok. How was horse back riding?" Carol asked. "Good, Merlin was really happy to see me." Athena replied. "I bet he was." Carol said. "Yea, mom and I went on a long ride before we had lunch together and now we're back for the night." Athena stated. "Just in time to relax before dinner." Carol said. "Yea. So you want to watch a movie or something?" Athena asked. "Movie! Yes sounds good." Carol replied.

They got settled on the futon together and Athena put on a comedy movie and dropped her arm around Carol's waist as the movie began. As the movie played on Carol leaned into Athena's shoulder, wrapping her arms around the red heads waist. "You're really comfortable." Carol whispered. "Thanks...you're not bad yourself." Athena replied. "When do you plan on going riding again?" Carol asked. "Im not sure, why? Do you want to come with me next time?" Athena asked. "Yea. I'd like that." Carol said. "Ok, next time I go I'll bring you along." Athena replied. As the movie played on they both relaxed into one another just enjoying the closeness. However the quiet was about to get interrupted by Yelena who had just arrived to the Compound.

"Where is my niece?" Yelena asked Natasha. "She's in her room with Carol. I believe they're watching a movie." Natasha replied. "Which one is Athena's?" Yelena asked. "It's the one between mine and Carol's." Natasha said nonchalantly. It wasn't until Yelena was out of sight that Natasha panicked thinking her sister was about to walk in on her daughter and Carol having sex. Natasha jumped off the sofa and bolted down the stairs her heart pounding as she caught up to Yelena just as she went to open Athena's door. There on the sofa sat Athena who had her arm around Carol's waist, with Carol's arms around Athena's waist. They were innocently cuddling as they watched the movie.
