"Kid...you're gonna grow old and die someday. Me? Maybe the first part, but not the last. I am going to be here to witness the heat death of the universe...more than likely. Odds are good anyways. You try having to face that fact and wonder....how to kill time til then." Hulk started at him. "I'm going to outlive most alla you. Not boasting, quite the opposite really."

You try having to face that fact and wonder....how to kill time til then." Hulk started at him. "I'm going to outlive most alla you. Not boasting, quite the opposite really." "I can't do that..." said Tim. "Not when the girl I loved most is gone. Just leave me alone." Tim walked out. Henry Lawson and Greg Hammer looked at this. "Well... dat's a big bummah." said Greg. "You can say that again..." said Henry with sadness, knowing that Tim never recovered from Beth's death in his time. Meanwhile, in the other room, Maria was talking to Peggy while Carl rested. "...so I thought I'd never amount to anything... I admired everything you did, mother... but I... cracked. I couldn't get my life together, and now, I'm just a drunken mess... not worthy to have your shield." said Maria with shame. "I wish you could forgive me... but I guess that would be asking too much."

Creed got up. "You all have fun. I'll talk to the kid." He said as he walked off after Tim.
Bruce sighed. "You can kid. If I can do it, a man who has all the good reasons not to..."
----------
"Hey...Tim, was it, hold up." Creed said, following.
-----------
Peggy lifted her hand and put the tip of her finger on her daughters mouth. "Well to start, that is the last I want to hear about untrue rubbish like comparing worth. How can I forgive what isn't there to forgive? So...you made mistakes. So did I, especially early on, especially with the guilt of failing Private Rogers and Dr. Erksine. Hell, try going from that to talking down Namor from waging war on all the surface world because of the Nazi's. I nearly started a whole new war with that fist fight. Took Torch, Whizzer and Bucky to keep me from wringing his smug neck."

Took Torch, Whizzer and Bucky to keep me from wringing his smug neck." "Say, how's 'bout we go out to da Red Light parts of Times Square? We can go out for broads, show 'em a good time." said Greg to Henry. "Ummm, Greg... I don't think my parents would approve of me going out with working girls." said Henry. "C'mon... you can't let dat hold ya down. Besides, you can't go back wit' Maria and ya need some chick to give ya a good time until ya find a permanent gal." said Greg. "I... I'm gonna talk to my parents about this." said Henry as he walked to where Carol and Mar-Vell were. "Fine... still, I wonder if dat Irish guy might wanna go, too... he don't have a gal either." said Greg, scratching his chin. "Yup... definitely son of a friend of Deadpool." remarked Karolina as she saw Greg and Henry interact. --- "Whut do ya want? I said I wanted to be alone." said Tim with a very defeated tone. --- "But you still managed to get pass that... look at me... take a good look. I... I am not the daughter you deserve. I can't even overcome my own demons." said Maria. "I..." Maria then broke up and hugged her mother tightly. She just cried hopelessly. "I came back in time to save father... but I can't even help myself." said Maria with sadness and insecurity.

Molly made a confused face. "Wait, who is he the kid of?"
---
"Yeah, not a smart idea to be alone right now." Creed said. "Besides...not much of a listener. Just ask Blink." Creed stood there. "You need an outlet. I'm impartial. If you want someone to hit, I heal. Just...being alone like this is the fucking worst and I know it." He stood there. "So...vent Kid. I'm all ears."
---
"Young Lady, you are making me repeat myself. Enough of that." Peggy looked at her. "It's is not the success, but the effort that tells who you are. Are you trying?" She asked her daughter.

She asked her daughter. "Weasel... you know, the gambling guy." said Karolina. Henry then looked at Mar-Vell and Carol. "Uuuhhh... mom... dad? I... Greg wants me to go to get some working girls. Should I go with him?" asked Henry. "Wait... prostitutes?" uttered Carol with disbelief, scratching her head. "Your pal is kinda peculiar." --- "I... I just miss Beth so much. She was... the best girl someone like me could ever get. I was in heaven. But then, this Renaissance gobshite appears and takes her away from me. I saw her... lying down... with those golf clubs in place of her arms and legs." said Tim with sadness. "She looked as if she was screaming for help. And I wasn't there for her." Tim started crying again. "She was gonna graduate from high school this year, and then, we would have married... but now, she's gone... and I can't go on with my life without her." said Tim. "I just... wanted to kill myself when I saw her lying there..." --- "I... I am..." said Maria. "But there are days where... I feel like I'm not helping at all. I guess sometimes, doing my best effort is just not enough." Maria always had been insecure. Back in her time, Peggy always had to encourage her due to her bouts with depression and her shyness.

"The weirdo in the card suit." Molly said.
"That's a hard no. You don't need paid intercourse to move on past Maria." Mar-Vell said to him. "Sorry...the Cosmic Awareness...it's annoying sometimes." Mar-Vell looked at him. "You need something real, not some cheap thrill. But that is not something that just happens."
---
"Her name was Raven." Creed said. "Had a human kid with her. Ran off because...well...in our world humans and mutants are trying to kill each other. Dropped the kid off in able hands, we each fought the good fight in our own way. But eventually...God, I don't even know how but...she's dead. My son, grew up hating me, but in the end...we patched things up long enough for him to die fighting alongside me."
Creed looked at him. "I got no easy answers. The pain sticks with you, and it hurts like a bitch." He walked over and put a hand on the kids shoulders. "But...I know one thing. You got to hold onto life Kid. It'll be hard to get rolling and finding a reason. So don't fret too much yet, wounds are too fresh. Right now it's all about letting it out. Grieve, mourn...but...think. If you meet her up at the pearly Gates, what do you wanna tell her? That you wasted away, mourning yer life away...or that...you lived harder than ever for the both of you? Don't waste what she built up in you. That's the part of her that ain't dead."
---
"It is. Heroism is about being brave enough to try, and you came here to help. If you were the person you say you are...you would not be here." Peggy looked at her, taking her hand. "So enough of that. You are, or am I wrong?" Peggy looked at her.

"You're catching on quickly, Molly." said Karolina. "Well, that's why I was hesitant to accept... I knew you wouldn't approve. Still, I just hope that I find someone in the end." said Henry. "Yeah... just leave the working girls to Greg." chuckled Carol. --- "I... I never thought of it that way... I never consider that when she was gone, I would have just to try harder to live." said Tim. "I guess... the look of fright in her face... it just haunts me." --- "I am wrong... I... I guess I really am a heroine... just, an annoyingly insecure one." said Maria. "I guess I inherited that from my father." Carl groaned as he was starting to wake up.

"Well, because, I am not just telling you because...safe sex and all that. You can find another. I can see possibilities too my son." Mar-Vell smiled. "You have chances out there to be happy again."
"I pay attention. He is the guy who finds it hard not to swear around me." Molly said.
-------
"I wish I can tell you to get past that. Death sticks with you. I..." Creed made a face. "It sticks in the head of guys like me too., and Hulk." Creed paused. "Hell, I work with a gender flipped version of my dead Ex. Mystiq. Like that ain't all kinds of fucked up. And I can see the resemblance enough for it to be a visual kick in my pants." He looked at him. "But in time, you begin to see less of it and fall back on all the good times. Like taking pot shots at Apocalypse's dumbass kid Holocaust. That was a fave of ours. You'll get there. But right now...it's ok to be this. Just...don't be afraid to show it, and don't be alone. You ain't. You got people who lost her too. Grieve together...it helps. I...hung out with her kids, Rogue and Nightcrawler for a time. Course Rogue being the Boss Lady, that wasn't hard."
--------
"Seems to be a Spider-Person thing, just look at Peter. But do remember...trying means you chance success and failure. Quitting means only failure. And to try against terrible odds for the right reasons...that is heroism. And you are fighting time itself. If anything...you are acting very much like me, a bloody overachiever." Peggy laughed.

Both of you." said Henry with a smile as he hugged both of his parents. "We all find it hard not to swear around you, Molly. Except Miss Metal Computer over there." said Karolina, glancing at Jocasta. "I may be a computer android, but I am as alive as you." said Jocasta. "Which reminds me, I was thinking about researching about what the Kords are doing with this... Internet." "Forget it... if I was president of the United States, I would ban that whole Intranad stuff. I would ban computers too." said Karolina. "And I love you too, Miss Karolina." said Jocasta with a sly grin. "WHY YOU-- just 'cause you're a pregnant computer android doesn't mean I'm not gonna beat you up." said Karolina. "And here comes the tech hater." said Rhonda Boynton with a rather plain tone, knowing that Karolina and technology should be put far apart. --- "I truly hope so... but still... I really don't know if I will find someone as sweet, caring and happy as Beth was." said Tim. Then, Greg walked in. "Hey, ya guys? Wanna hit Times Square? Find some broads?" asked Greg. --- Maria chuckled and hugged her mother happily. "Thank you, mother... I... I really needed the encouragement." said Maria. Carl woke up and saw both Peggy and Maria. The resemblance between the two was uncanny. "Damn... I'm seeing double." said Carl as he looked at the two.

"The half organic son of Ultron is sitting here mildly offended." Victor Mancha turned. "And I already use something akin to what they are developing. If they did not introduce it I likely would in time...if not my Father in some mad scheme."
----
"Big hint, you are not looking for a replacement. You seek an equal." Creed turned. "And...gonna likely go and make sure you don't wind up dead. Last thing i need is Wilson up my ass."
----
"Well Carl...it's eventually a girl." Peggy said, smiling. "This is Maria. She came to save you...us. But mostly you. Your own personal hero."

She came to save you...us. But mostly you. Your own personal hero." Karolina then looked up to the sky. "God, I'm being punished by technology... aren't I?" uttered Karolina. --- Tim nodded at Sabretooth. No one could replace Beth, but maybe someone would be able to be as good as she was. "Cool. My big pal maybe wasn't allowed ta go, cuz y'know... he's a straight arrow like his ol' man." said Greg. --- Maria smiled and held Carl's hand. "I... I'm glad to see you again... father." said Maria. Carl looked at her and then at Peggy. "So... we... we really will get married?" said Carl. "Yeah. And I must prevent you from being killed when I am born." said Maria. "And I have to help against Spider-Carnage. After I travelled back in time... he destroyed all of reality, and the Beyonder had to send some people from my time back here."

"Nah, we can't think of any good insults right now." Victor smirked as he joked.
Mar-Vell let go of the hug. "Well, you can choose to go with him. He will be the only one looking. Tim and Victor Creed are joining him to keep the lad out of trouble. Odds of success improve with you there."
------
"Thankfully, I got no moral hang ups there." Creed said. "But...I am this guys wingman. We're just going so you don't end up in some supervillanesses bed or some shit." He looked at Tim. "Right? Plus you look like you need a walk."
-------
"ok, so point one, shoot to kill orders on Spider-Carnage. No more possible capture." Peggy said. "There's one step forward."

"Okay... but I'll only go to keep watch on him." said Henry. "You sure about this, Mar-Vell? If Henry goes, I get the feeling all those working girls are gonna go to him and give him a taste for free. I mean... he looks exactly like you, and you remember how many women swooned when they saw you... even me." said Carol. --- "Indeed..." said Tim before sighing. "Very well, we'll go... but I don't know if I would be willing to take part in any action." --- "First we would have to find Moon's base and deactivate the cloning chambers, because when you kill one, they keep coming back. Without the chambers, if you kill a clone, it'll be gone... permanently." said Maria. Maria then looks at Carl and sighs. "I guess... you can already guess who's gonna kill you." said Maria to Carl. Carl looked pained. Firebug. His father. Now he knew he would go to that extreme, and it made him feel more worthless. "Fuck... why did I have to get that guy for a father?" said Carl sadly.

"This Creed fellow, he seems trustworthy. Besides...I have other reasons for suggesting he is going." Mar-Vell looked at him. "You need more than just companionship, correct? Maria is not the only one seeking their worth. I forsee you having such a chance if you go." He paused. "Ok, it doesn't work like that, I just got a feeling you are needed in the city."
---------
"Too damn soon kid. But you can be polite, and you can talk to them like people." Creed said. "People who do that have their reasons, some of it valid. Having a fella not talk down to them is sometimes worth more than money."
----------
"In theory. You are changing the future already, are you not? So there are no more definites. Otherwise, what are you changing?" Peggy said. "Part of that is maybe, getting you to not fight like a Spider? Or at least just like one.'
