Pomp and Circumstance
Bendy-timed to before a couple of days before Loki showed up

Grace fidgeted with the sleeves of her black robe. The gold tassel from her cap dangled in front of her face.

She was graduating from high-school. Sure, it wasn't the school that she had started out at, but she did it. She'd put in the hard work, and she'd soon have the diploma to prove it.

The speeches having been over and done with, Grace stood in line with the kids from her row to get her diploma. As long as she didn't trip, everything would be perfect. Dad and the Defenders were somewhere in the crowd. She'd even told Zoey to invite Avery along. Her Mom had flown in from Boston to see her daughter graduate.

Grace could feel her heartbeat start to speed up, as she got closer to the platform.

"Grace Elizabeth Danvers!" Her name was called out by the vice-principal and she walked across the stage, taking her diploma from the principal, a wide grin on her face.

When all the names had been called and all of the seniors had officially graduated, Grace tossed her cap into the air along with the rest of the students. Then, picking it up, she rushed off to find the Defenders and her Mom. Mom had booked a room at a local restaurant for them to have all of them to have a nice dinner.

	It's a perfect day. It can't stay that way. Something tickles Wonder Man's consciousness. It's time now... "Now?" he asks out-loud, his face suddenly ashen, but he knows the answer. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ohu looks up at Simon, his own cosmic senses tingling. "Simon...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

At least he had this. It will keep him until this is done. Even now, he's fading in an aura of purple light.

"I have to go." It's clear he doesn't want to, but he's fading faster than any debate will allow. "Come here."

To the team, he squeezes their hands. Carol gets a "sorry." Syd, Zoey and Grace each get a murmured declaration of love. The last to be held is Grace and she can feel his strength ebb. "Remember -" His voice fades into a whisper on the wind. "You're my miracle. I'll come back..."

He just doesn't know when.

Avery can feel his eyes stare at him over Grace's shoulder. The look is unmistakable. They're yours now. Don't let me down. They stare until there's nothing to look at.

Well that was unexpected and sudden.

Syd wasn't quite sure how she felt, but it felt like getting dumped. Great job, she told herself. You're now 0 for 2. 0 for 3 if you counted Avery, but the Zoey-producing fling hadn't been really a relationship. Then again she wasn't sure if the thing with Simon had been a relationship.

Whatever it was, it still hurt. Suddenly, going to Rome for a month seemed like a better idea. She was going to talk to Simon about the offer, but now it looked like she wouldn't get the chance or need to. She sighed heavily, blinked back some tears and wrapped her arms around Zoey. No matter what happened in life, she'd always have her daughter.

	Well, of all the things she'd been expecting tonight, this was so low on the list that Dawn didn't know where to begin. And she couldn't even begin to imagine what this must be like to Grace. She kept quite, not thinking of anything appropriate to say. (Reply to this)(Parent)
