Wednesday: The Next Generation
Hello, everyone. I’m marlex and today's theme is The Next Generation. Sooner or later, if they survive, many our heroes will mostly likely procreate. What will their children be like? What will they do? Will they follow in their parents' footsteps, or set out to blaze their own paths? Today's prompts can be any about the children of our canon characters

When Steve gets home, he tells Amund to talk to his parents about everyone getting together for dinner. “I will, sir,” Amund says seriously. He shakes both Steve and Jim’s hands, kisses Abigail on the cheek, and leaves.
“Isn’t he amazing?” Abigail sighs.
“He seems alright,” Jim says.
.
Amund’s mother is a firecracker named Darcy Lewis. Steve knows her, and they spend most of dinner gossiping about Steve’s old team.
His father - well, Darcy doesn’t mention him at all, and neither does Amund.
.
Amund’s father comes to the wedding, though.
“Brother?” Thor gapes, and Steve’s eyes widen, hand going for the shield he no longer carries.
“I am here in peace,” the stranger - Thor’s brother? Loki? - says, hands spread. He nods towards the front, where Amund and his groomsman are gathering. “I have come to see my son wed. I do not want to ruin the day with a quarrel.”
“You’re dead,” Steve says.
Loki smirks. “Oh, yes, very much so,” he agrees. “Everyone knows that.” He focuses on Jim and holds out a hand. “Amund’s father,” he says.
Jim shakes his hand. “Abigail’s pops.”
.
Darcy hugs Loki, and Amund, too, and Steve’s old team clearly want to fight, but for the kids’ sake, they don’t. Loki vanishes immediately after the ceremony and everyone but Jim descends on Darcy, demanding answers. Even Steve gets caught up in the craze.
Jim, though, hangs back and visits with the rest of the guests, and makes sure nobody bothers Amund on his big day. Abigail helps with that, too; she’s got Steve’s fighting spirit and always has, but it’s Jim’s cold determination that really shines through tonight.
.
Abigail and Amund’s first child is named Rikolv James Lewis-Grant and he’s got Abigail’s blue eyes and Amund’s (finally unhidden) talent with magic.
He’s a handful, just like his ma and grandparents on both sides.
Jim, of course, adores him. And if Loki sometimes pops by when Jim’s watching him, well. That’s for no one else to know.
Jim hands Ricky to his other other grandpa and smiles as the aloof man melts at their grandson’s babbling.

I kept wondering which MCU character was named Lewis, and then you said Darcy Lewis, and then Loki showed up, and then!
Loved when he sassed everyone with his 'Yes, I'm dead. Can't you tell?' I could see his eyes roll. LOL
And the kid was precious too!
(Now I kinda of want more of Jim and Loki as grandfathers...)
