Penn gave an annoyed sigh as he sat down on one of the many chairs that were placed near the gate to the plane.

When Phillis told the now full time hero team that one of them had to go to London to help out some other full time heroes with other dimension in the multiverse, Penn didn't mind taking the offer. After all, traveling to a new country sounded fun and could provide him a good challenge from dealing with other heroes. And thankfully, everything went alright and the multiverse was still in balance( even though the redhead nearly broke a bone).

However, Penn was now stuck with a new problem: He was stuck in the airport.

It wasn't because he didn't have any money or that he got into trouble with security. He was alright. The problem was that Mother Nature decided to let it go like Elsa and make it snow outside, and it snowed a lot. And, with a lot of snow, there was no way a plane could fly through that. So, all flights were delayed.

And, of course, this just had to happen on Christmas Eve.

"Jeez. Some luck I'm having." Penn muttered sarcastically under his breath. His eyes trailed down to his clothes: a white sweatshirt, blue jeans, black snow boots and a black coat. The redhead had texted his parents about the situation a few minutes after he heard about the delayed flight. They replied that as long as he was safe, they'll be fine if he arrived late tomorrow for Christmas. But still, Penn felt so bad. He didn't want a second Christmas without his family!

Penn heard footsteps, but didn't even bother looking up to see who it was. He heard the movement of someone sitting on the chair next to him and heard the person sigh. Penn could tell that it belonged to a female. "Well. This is just great." The mystery woman said with an annoyed huff. "Tell me about it. This is why I'm not a fan of Mother Nature." The woman giggled. "Yeah. I just wish we can get to the skies soon. It's Christmas Eve after all." She said, and that was when Penn noted the British accent. "Wait..." he muttered and looked to see the woman. She was a brunette with honey colored eyes, and wore a brown coat, black jeans and white boots and a scarf around her neck. But, even with a different wardrobe change, the redhead man could recognize her in a distance.

"Alex?" He asked. The woman turned to look at him and she gasped quietly. "Penn?" She asked. Penn nodded. They both shared a breathless chuckle and hugged each other. "Oh my goodness! It's been a while!" Alex said, pulling back from the hug, and smiling widely at him. "I know! God, it's amazing to see you again." Penn said, returning the smile. "So. What have you been up to?" He asked. Alex opened her mouth to speak, but someone interrupted her.

"Mommy?"

Penn looked behind Alex to see a little girl next to her. She looked to be six or seven years old and actually looked like a tiny version of Alex with her brown (all be it, a bit darker) hair and matching eyes. The child was bundled up with winter clothing, and Penn internally giggled, thinking that she looked rather adorable. But then... it him.

"You're s mom?" He asked, and Alex nodded. "Penn, this is my daughter, Julie. Julie, sweetie, this is Penn, a friend of mine from school." Alex introduced the two. "Well, hello there Julie." Penn said, extending his hand to the little girl and giving her a smile. Julie took his hand, though she looked hesitant. "Hi." She said quietly. Alex leaned down to whisper something into her daughter's ear. "Don't worry. He's a very good friend of mine. Penn won't hurt you or me."

Hurt her? What did she mean by that? Penn was caught of guard for a moment. Did someone hurt Alex and her child? Who would do that? Alex was a sweet, smart woman and Julie had to be one of the most adorable kids Penn had ever seen. Who would hurt them? 'If someone actually did hurt them, I will hunt that jerk down and kill him with my bare hands.'
