Maya suddenly said, looking at Nick with misty eyes, getting his full attention and willingness to help. “Yes of course, you are treating my daughter after all.” Nick was willing to do anything, because he knew how much he needed Maya and how much Natasha did as well. “Can you train me to be like you or at least be ten of five percent like you?” Maya knew that she can’t be like him, at least not a 100 percent but she can try, so things like today won’t happen to them again. “Why do you want that?” “To be able to protect my family.”

"What I mean is. You are the only person who ever made me want to take the inventory again. To check. To make sure it was still all there." Her breathing moves against my arm. I count it without meaning to. In. Out. In. Out. The numbers keep slipping. I start again. "My mother used to say that strength is not the absence of fear, it is something else, I cannot remember the exact words right now but it was something good, she was very good at saying things like that."

“There’s just the one you’re willing to fight for.” We sat there in silence for a while. My parents looked at me like they wanted me whole. Dad finally stood and kissed the top of my head. “You don’t have to prove you’re strong all the time,” he said. “Sometimes strong means letting someone stand beside you.” And for the first time since finding out I was pregnant… I didn’t feel defensive. I just felt tired. And maybe a little less alone.

“I know you’ve always been the kindest and nicest person I know but I also know you too be the strongest person ever.” “You’ve survived what others couldn’t and you’ve turned out pretty well when others were bound to the bond and lost their entire self in the process.” “He’s Jaden’s father and damn it, it’s his responsibility to save Jaden.

It’s part of the reason that I believe that she and Dad are so perfect together. He’s a bundle of heightened energy needing release and she’s the calming balm that soothes him. “And I know my daughter. I know her strengths and her weaknesses,” she says, walking up to me and taking my face in her hands. “You have always been one of the strongest of the Guardians, Reagan. Whatever you decide, I will stand by your decision.”

He leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees. “My parents think I’ve lost authority,” he admitted. “They think standing beside you instead of ahead of you makes me weaker.” “And what do you think?” He looked at her. “I think I’ve never felt stronger.” Her lips curved slightly. “That’s because strength doesn’t come from dominance.

She says. “ I am not disrespecting her, I am only telling her I love you and that is the truth” I said and intertwine my hands with hers. “ Maybe I should go while you focus on being with the stronger one” she says. “ No, you are not weak, you are the strongest woman that I have ever met, you have been through a lot from your tender age , you got pregnant and have a children and you were ready to take up their responsibilities even when you are not sure you can , you were sent to jail and you took a risk for five kids and even with me you still want to find them, what can be more stronger than going through that he’ll at a very tender

As if to make sure I was paying attention then continued. " Dad used to tell us, we need to constantly grow stronger. Not just because we have enemies, but to give ourselves the chance to be even greater." His words filled me with a new sense of purpose. I had never dreamed that I could be stronger than all of my tormentors. I had gone through a lot of torture but knew I didn't just believe I was weak, I had given up on the will to fight because my body refused to ever lend me any strength. " I can fight." I say.
