[hr]
A homebound mission had kept Carol in New York for a few weeks, something that she was less than pleased to be dealing with. Family, am I right? Unfortunate when they decide to visit just when you are planning to leave the galaxy and help a few others for a next few months. Earth had plenty of others to help them with their battles, many other planets and galaxies did not... People forgot that far too often. 

[color=a187be]"How are things going back at the house?"[/color] Carol absently asked, her knee bounding slightly as she sat in the restaurant with her mother, giving a polite smile as her mind began to wander to where she should travel to next and how long it might take. Nothing was exactly close by, it wasn't like heading down to Louisiana for the weekend to take a vacation... And it wasn't like she really had to bring a lot of provisions with her anyway. 

"Things are going well sweet pea, everyone misses you though." Her Mom pointed out and Carol chuckled, shaking her head as she adjusted her jacket on her shoulders. 

[color=a187be]"You know that it's not exactly easy to carve out anything relative to a vacation. I'll lose my mind if I just stay- here. Other places need me just as much as New York. Even though for some reason- everyone wants to try and take over New York."[/color] She bitterly chuckled, rolling her eyes at herself before taking a sip of her coffee. She had to admit one thing- other galaxies certainly didn't have coffee. Pointing that once more more helped Marie drop the subject. Carol knew that her mom loved her and just wanted the best, but the best meant being away from home.... A LOT. [color=a187be]"I can try to carve out a week or so to come visit soon okay Mom?"[/color] she offered and smiled a little, then a little more at the grin it gave her mother knowing that her baby was coming home for a little bit soon. It was the least that she could offer. 

But she opened her mouth again before she felt a sensation, something in her gut that was only present for a few seconds before she felt her pager on her hip go off and realized that it was Steve- Captain Rogers. Oh what the heck, she called him Steve all the time. Glancing down, she had a moment of 'how is this ancient technology still working after all this time?' and then remembered that she was an energy source herself, part of the Tesseract must have been fueling this damn thing whenever she was home. Nice to be your own battery every once in a while! But she looked at her hip, then at her mother with an apologetic look on her face. 

[color=a187be]"Mom..." [/color]she started and Marie held up a hand, shaking her head for Carol to say no more.

"Go do what you were born to do honey." She smiled gently and Carol cocked her her, the corner of her mouth turning up. 

[color=a187be]"Another coffee date soon. Love you Mom, bye."[/color] She stood up and took her coffee with her, not wanting to waste the money since it was Starbucks after all, and gave a small wave before exiting the building and taking a quick peek around on the sidewalk to make sure no one was going to be given a heart attack from her taking off before taking a big breath and letting herself rise slowly from the ground. 

[hr]

An short while later, Carol landed on the lawn of the Avengers Mansion, nodding at the now familiar site before finishing off her coffee and walking to the front door. She let herself in from her own key card and walked through the hallways until she found the familiar, and not always comforting room where she found Steve, Jim, and a few other familiar and even some new faces beginning to crowd around. [color=a187be]"What is going on here?"[/color] She asked, a light and easy cadence to her voice as she tossed her empty cup in the trash and walked over to the hologram in the center of the large conference table.[color=a187be] "Calling in all of the big guns, or just me?" [/color]She teased a little as her eyes fell on the new faces one by one, taking them in.
