In the days that followed, Roy's schedule flowed naturally between worlds, responsibilities, and the people he cared for.
WITH HIS LOVERS
On some days, he stayed in the mansion, spending peaceful or playful moments with his lovers—
Grayfia's quiet devotion,
Velgrynd's fiery possessiveness,
Velzard's cool affection,
Scáthach's seductive teasing,
Sif's warrior warmth,
Amora's flirtatious charm,
Lorelei's gentle sweetness,
Death and Infinity's cosmic softness,
Natasha's sly smiles,
Maria Hill's occasional tsundere-like scolding,
and Hela's proud, dark elegance.
Each woman grounded Roy differently, and he enjoyed the time with them as much as they enjoyed his presence.
WITH WANDA AND HELEN
Other days, Roy slipped away to have calm, warm dates with Wanda or Helen Cho.
Wanda always blushed the moment she saw him, her heartbeat painfully obvious to Roy's senses. She treasured every moment with him—stargazing, walking hand-in-hand in quiet parks, or leaning her head against his shoulder in a small café.
Helen Cho, mature and composed, always melted around him. Their dates were soft and intellectual—science talk mixed with subtle flirting she tried (and failed) to hide. Whenever Roy tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, she would flush to the tips of her ears.
IN ASGARD
Sometimes Roy simply returned home—to Asgard.
Odin pretended to be busy with kingly duties, but the All-Father always cracked a small smile when Roy walked into the throne room.
Frigga hugged Roy tightly each time, treating him as if he were still her little boy.
Roy often helped Loki with strategy work or political planning. They got along far too well—Loki appreciated Roy's intelligence, and Roy appreciated Loki's dry humor.
And Thor…
Roy made sure to prank Thor at least once every visit.
Turning Mjolnir into a plush toy.
Replacing Thor's shampoo with glitter gel.
Making Thor's armor yell "I AM THOR!" every time he took a step.
Loki laughed so hard he fell off a chair.
Thor chased Roy around the palace while Roy sipped juice leisurely.
WITH TONY AND FAMILY
Then there were the afternoons Roy spent at Tony's mansion.
Tony, Pepper, Howard, and Maria had grown into a comfortable family again—filled with teasing, debates, and genuine warmth.
Tony had changed drastically.
No more reckless actions.
No more self-destructive tendencies.
Now he took Pepper on proper dates—quiet dinners, weekend trips, or romantic nights on the balcony.
He also balanced Stark Industries surprisingly well, often with Pepper's help.
Sometimes Tony dragged Rhodey and Roy into the mansion's living room to talk, joke, or play games. Howard and Maria would join them occasionally, Howard giving life advice Tony didn't ask for and Maria fussing over her son or Pepper.
Roy enjoyed these visits—they were peaceful and full of life.
THE AVENGERS COLLAPSE
One evening, while lounging lazily on his couch with Velzard resting her head on his lap, Roy saw the news on TV.
"AVENGERS DISBANDED – INTERNAL COLLAPSE."
"STEVE ROGERS NOW A FUGITIVE."
Roy blinked, unimpressed.
"...What did that stupid man do now?" he muttered.
Velzard snorted. "Do you care?"
"No. But his talent for making things worse is impressive."
Reports continued:
Steve Rogers had gone rogue.
He had broken into a high-security facility and freed Scott Lang (Ant-Man) and Sam Wilson (Falcon).
Roy frowned. "Why the hell were they in prison in the first place?"
Velzard shrugged. "Humans do strange things."
Meanwhile, Vision had signed the Sokovia Accords and was now being supervised heavily by the government—something Roy found amusing.
"He agreed to be monitored?" Roy raised a brow.
"Vision is too logical for his own good," Grayfia said from the doorway.
Roy sank deeper into the sofa. "The entire team is falling apart. Interesting… but I don't care unless it affects the people I like."
And so the world continued to spin chaotically around him—
while he lived his life as he pleased, surrounded by lovers, family, and friends who genuinely mattered to him.
