yup. Alex and Miri get to go kick ass. right now, its the only thing keeping them going. and yes. Alex does have a little bit of an inferiority complex going on. but i think she might be allowed. just a little bit. she had no clue her uncle was an agent and to find out that he was and it was his doing that got her a job she's loved... between that and what happened to Clint, her world is a little shaken. i'm sure Miri and Alex will find a way to patch things up. later, though. right now, business.

i had to make her cast red, white, and blue. just had to. and i totally could not help but include the idea that drugs make her a little loose with her tongue.

Loki is very good at what he does. i'm sure Astrid will be feeling that way for a while...

of course the boys are okay. did you think i'd let anything happen to them? i have a sneaking suspicion that Tony's idea of punishment will probably not be as big a hardship as you think. i don't think he's used to being scared like that. no doubt he'll make it up to her anyway. and Maria... there might be something there. we'll have to wait and see.

i'm glad you enjoyed, honey. seriously.
