''Lucky me. ~'' She giggled, enjoying his every little reaction, the way he flexed and stuck his tongue out at her too! Caught oogling her husband, could anyone blame her when he was so handsome and charming? Irresistible, milky white eyes and a face she wanted to kiss silly every time she saw him. ''I-It hella did!'' She gulped, blushing as he made her heart hop and dance with the way he was eyeing her up. She laughed then, all wrapped up in their family group hug. ''Ya think they're gonna be rebels?'' They were all cute and innocent now, but who knew what kind of mischief the twins would get up to once they learned how to walk and run?

''Mm.'' She sniffled, smiling back at him. ''Ah never saw it that way until Ah met ya, but yer right. They're gonna be hella unstoppable in every way. We balance each other out, yer hella amazin' where Ah'm not, so that means they'll get the best of both worlds, right? Best from ma an' pa.'' Two lost souls who had found each other, who had to discover the meaning of love because they had never known it from home. Yet here they were, happy family, their kids being raised with all the love and happiness they could spare and then even more than that! It was a naive dream, but she never wanted them to suffer. No heart aches, no tears of sadness, just perfect happiness for their kids. The twins, and any lil ones they might have after them too!

Seeing him slowly, but surely wrestle victory from the beast she smiled and eased up her shoulders a little more. She never doubted him, but she was also hella ready to get involved if she had to. ''Childproof? Like somethin' they won't mess around with?'' She looked down at their snotlings, rocking them back and forth gently. Better not create any trouble for your dad! ''That sounds perfect!'' Her eyes lit up, practically salivating at just the thought of such a rich meal. She smiled and leaned in with the kids, letting them coo, gurgle and touch their hands all over the smooth shell as they studied it their own way. ''Ah think we all are.'' Still, where did that monster crab come from? Maybe it was just a coincidence? Well, for now that coincidence had brought them more than plenty of food for lunch! ''Need any help?'' She offered, since she could easily wrap the twins to her body with her quirk and free up her arms if he needed an extra pair of hands.

CHUCK MCCOY

When they first started dating Kazashi hadn't dared dream of days like this. Pluto and Charon were destined to perform their cosmic dance in the darkest recesses of space, and yet here they were, walking side by side in the sunlight. Two people from completely different worlds, one feared as a villain while the other was heralded as a hero. Well, maybe that's how most of society saw it anyway. That was their truth, but it wasn't her truth. She loved no one more than Chuck McCoy. Her soulmate for life, now husband and father to their kids. There was probably hella many timelines out there, so she felt blessed every day that she was lucky enough that she got to live through the best one with him.

''Who are ya callin' a nerd, nerd?'' She squeezed his hand back and leaned in to kiss his cheek. A serene bamboo forest walk with her family in the summertime, there was nothing better. Were the kids enjoying themselves in the stroller too? She was dying to hear them speak for the first time, hear them say silly things and comment on everything around them. ''The artsy one?'' She peeked over to look at them, Zenji's big eyes taking in every detail, nothing was slipping past their son! Meanwhile, Yuzuki seemed to be enjoying another short nap, blinking in and out of sleep. ''Don't know, Ah think they both have a good shot at it.'' She wrapped her arms around Chuck, kissing him back as they reached the benches. ''Ah mean, we're both artsy in our own ways, aren't we? Ya make weapons an' do carpentry an' Ah do sewin' an' knittin'.'' She caressed his cheek for a moment before pulling away to help the little ones out of the stroller. ''Up an' out! We're here. ~'' She hummed, making silly faces to try and make the twins laugh.

After the initial shock and confusion she was quick to send out the signal on her phone. She figured just a distress signal would be good enough seeing as this was out on the streets and she didn't exactly have time to explain what was going on seeing as her and Iphi were caught in the eye of the storm.

She trusted Iphi and took her word for it when she didn't deduce anything at a first glance. It didn't seem like a targeted attack, but rather like something had just broken out outside at the same time they were trying to arrest this guy. Speaking of, the guy was still on the ground, groaning and recovering from Iphi's attack. ''Creepy. That yer attack or somethin'?'' She walked up to the box, unsure if she should try to break it with her fists or hear it out. She whipped her head around immediately once the tentacle grabbed Iphi, wasting no time coming to her partner's aid. ''Oi, oi!!'' In an instant her hands morphed into a pair of combat boots, spiky soles too, bastard deserved it for grappling her friend. ''Who the hell do ya think ya are?!'' She would aim a flurry of punches at the fish person, trying to inflict a lot of damage in rapid succession so that it hopefully felt overwhelmed and let go of Iphi.

She hadn't been targeted directly by an attack yet and somehow her left leg was still hurting. It wasn't until she looked down and saw a swamp of fanged shrimps had crawled up the side of the building and begun biting into her leg. ''T-This thing!'' She grimaced, trying to shake them off by changing the texture of her leg. ''Recall, Ah think they're drawn ta the music!''

Iphigenia Pavlina

Summer Solstice!!

Her life had changed so much since she met Chuck. Since that day when he showed her what the light of hope and love could look like. Her existence used to be a dark, sad, miserable thing... Looking down at herself now, at him, at their adorable kids, she almost seemed like a completely different person from the Kazashi that used to resent her humanity. That longed for more simple shapes, to stay as clothes forever and never have to deal with emotions or people. She couldn't even stand the feeling of touch back then and now she found her hand constantly seeking out his, or wanted to hug the lil ones until they got hella sick of mama!

''She's helpin' out already? Learnin' hella fast.'' She grinned over at Chuck for a moment, then looked back down at Zenji. She had wrapped their son in her two scarf hands, making a little makeshift swing for him as she swayed him back and forth gently, causing him to burst out in laughter, that kind of baby laughter that heals the soul. It almost made her forget the lack of sleep she was getting recently because of these little stinkers! Her and Chuck both, taking turns tending to them and making sure they were doing okay. It had actually been a bigger challenge for her to separate from them. Let them lay there and rest for an hour or two and not constantly hold them in her arms and worry if they were doing okay. How could people start so small and grow big over time? It was hella puzzling!! ''Ya think they'll enjoy campin'?'' She stood up and walked over to Chuck so the whole family could be together, and so she could give him a quick smooch. ''Ah bet they'll grow up lovin' nature an' the forest around our house.'' She looked down at Zenji who was dangling his arms around, grinning like a little bandit. ''Ya think he's gonna be a climber? There's a lot of trees.'' She turned her hands back to normal and held him up to her face to smile back at him.

She blushed a little bit as Chuck mentioned her love for hot chocolate and sushi. ''Ya hear that, Zenji?'' She lowered her voice to a whisper as she peeked over at Chuck, smiling with their son like they were being all secretive even though they were sitting right next to him! ''Pa's talkin' about me, don't ya think he's silly?'' She nestled Zenji close as she leaned up against Chuck. ''Hella crazy, Ah don't think any of us were expectin' ta go fishin' that day.'' The smell of the grill was lovely, so was his cooking. Always was, always had been. ''We made it really cozy for ya, so don't worry about sleepin' out here.'' She told both Zenji and Yuzuki. ''If yer lucky it's gonna be a big shiny moon tonight.'' She gently rubbed the top of Yuzuki's head right between her little, growing horn stubs.

''Not like either of us found school any easy.'' She laughed, none of that came naturally to them, but maybe their kids would be hella geniuses? Not that they had to, of course, they would love them either way. It was probably another thing she was going to reiterate over and over again. She didn't want to be the type of parent that put pressure on her kids. She was a hero, but they didn't have to go down that path, she'd be happy and proud of them if they settled even for some much simpler work and a cozy lifestyle. It didn't matter as long as they sought out their own happiness and did their best on tests, that's all she could ask for. ''Still, ya gotta listen ta pa too!'' She reaffirmed, pointing over at Chuck as she addressed the kids, soon making silly faces at them, couldn't help it, she'd do anything for their smiles and gurgles.

''Hey now, this was a collab. ~'' She blushed, sticking her tongue out at him. ''They love the outfits an' ya too. Don't ya? Don't ya love yer dad?'' She whispered to the lil ones, her heart overflowing with love. She smiled when Chuck snuck a quick kiss, closing her eyes to savor every second with his lips. ''Sounds like a plan.'' Start from one end and work their way through, it was all they could do when things were this out of control. She nodded along as he laid out the strategy and his reasoning. ''Can ya take both? Do ya want pa ta carry ya?'' She looked down at the twins who instinctively reached their arms out at Chuck, looking at him with those big, irresistibly cute and curious eyes. ''Ah want ta look for survivors, Ah bet some civilians got caught up in this. If we have ta fight somethin' Ah can shield ya an' the kids, or ya can give 'em ta me if a monster appears. Of the two of us yer the hard hitter.'' Those muscles weren't just for show after all!!

''Yeah.'' She grinned, couldn't hold back her happiness. ''A Zombae an' Apparel team-up? They never stood a chance.'' She squeezed his hand back. When he leaped she followed suit, by literally turning into a wingsuit to hang in the air and play lookout, but she didn't get to for long as some shark showed up immediately to threaten her family. ''What do ya think yer doin' ya big fish?!'' She called out with the kind of anger that could only come from an angry mama bear, turning into a full suit of heavy armor as she positioned herself to drop on top of the shark's head, superhero landing and everything to hella impress the fam!!
