Avengers:
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.

Christmas Day is a Christian holiday, it's true, but it also has become increasingly secular. It is an opportunity for love, charity, and goodwill, even in New York City, arguably the most skeptical city in the country.

There is some debate within mystical circles if there is indeed such a creature as the embodiment of Christmas Giving known as Santa Claus. But whether or not there is such a being, the spirit of giving itself is very real, be it incarnated in a fat man in a red suit or not.

Throughout this small blue planet of Earth, people have brought trees into their homes, decorated them with lights and ornaments, and placed them in locations of honor. Stockings have been placed on the chimneys. And gifts have been placed under the tree.

Some are looking forward more to the receiving than the giving. But for many, it is the act of giving which warms them, which fills them with the holiday spirit.

Each person, in their own way, becomes a part of this spirit of giving. Each person, in their own way, becomes Santa Claus.

The Avengers mansion is decorated in lights, made all the more beautiful by the snow capping the roof and lying on the ground. As for the Avengers themselves...

"Don't. Don't apologize. This isn't your fault."

Ultimately it was her fault. She was the one who was stupid and allowed this to happen. Arguing with him wasn't going to them any good. She sighed and pulled back a little. "I need to...I need to get rid of it."

Steve would debate that point to his death, but right now, he has more important things on his mind.

"I'll take care of it," he told her. Because his number one priority? Getting it to either Dr. Pym or SHIELD or possibly Anya mother. Someone who could look it over for clues.

"Give it to my father, please," she said quietly. She kissed his cheek. "I love you. Sorry this kind of ruined things."

He hugged her tightly again. "You didn't," he told her firmly. "I love you."

Anya smiled and just hugged him. "I'm going to go find Toni while you take care of that." She kissed him and knew she totally didn't deserve him.

Steve smiled just a little when they broke away. "Good," he said. "Go enjoy yourself."

"That's later," she said with a wink. The panic was slowly starting to subside. Anya went off to find Toni.
