Juniper puckered her lips as she looked back at the new guy running around here. She had met him just moments ago, but she recognized the name immediately. Bucky Barnes. Juniper has spent many late nights having conversations about this man with Steve.
“Me?” she played innocent.
She and Steve haven’t really defined what their relationship was, despite their few stolen kisses. So Bucky’s little statement served as verification of Juniper’s suspicions. Steve was interested.
“What makes you say that?” She steps closer, prying for a further answer.
Bucky gave a little smile. “Because Steve is my best friend and I know him.” Maybe he didn’t remember every tiny thing, but he remembered enough that he knew Steve. “I also happened to accidentally run into you two in the hall the other day and had to turn around and go the long way around.” he teased.
It took every bit of May’s not inconsiderable self control to not tiger-out completely and most likely permanently when her front door was kicked in and a partial shifted dragon filled the space, wings outstretched, eyes burning gold, blood red and midnight black scales covering most of his body.
But worse– as if there was anything worse than an Alpha predator in her house– the dragon shifter was holding Peter in his arms and Peter was bleeding.
“Oh my god!” Her fear of the dragon completely forgotten in light of seeing her nephew hurt, May rushed forward to take Peter, but stopped in her tracks when the big shifter huffed a puff of smoke at her, a dangerous growl rumbling through his chest.
“Two things are going to happen right now.” May folded her arms and glared up at him, stripes rippling over her skin and her own eyes turning yellow in agitation. “You are going to stop smoking up my living room, I didn’t let my mate smoke his cigars in here I’m certainly not going to let you do it, so cut it out.”
Wade’s eyes widened, then narrowed and he growled a little louder, the knowledge that May could help warring with his instinct to keep anyone and everyone away from his mate.
“Two!” She said louder, and this time she growled too, her tiger coming forward enough to sharpen her fingers into claws, showing off a pair of fangs that rivaled Wade’s when she snarled. “That is my nephew and my family currently bleeding out on my kitchen floor and you will let me treat him do I make myself perfectly clear?!”
“Mate.” Wade snarled, and May snarled louder, “Family!”
Loki hummed and leaned into the touch. “I love you.” he whispered, reaching to brush stray hairs from Thor’s face. “My love…what if I can’t…what if we can’t have children?” he asked nervously, a topic he’d been scared to bring up during their honeymoon.
Ruby Bridges was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis in 1960.
This movie made me cry, I was so heart broken by how Ruby Bridges was treated! She was only 6, but was so strong. She is a very brave girl and she did not care what the white folks called her.
People are simply disgusting to minimize people by skin color!
Ruby you might not think you’re a hero… But to other people you are! You are A HERO and you are A PERSON WHO MADE AMERICA CHANGE!
this is white culture, this is their history, this is their legacy…being enraged at a damn baby just because she’s black.
she’s still alive by the way
Ruby Bridges in 2010
“As Bridges describes it, “Driving up I could see the crowd, but living in New Orleans, I actually thought it was Mardi Gras. There was a large crowd of people outside of the school. They were throwing things and shouting, and that sort of goes on in New Orleans at Mardi Gras.“ Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, “She showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and we’re all very very proud of her.“
U.S. Marshals escorted Bridges to and from school
As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all the teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled. Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Henry taught her alone, “as if she were teaching a whole class.”
Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, allowed Ruby to eat only the food that she brought from home.
Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges Hall has said “scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us.” At her mother’s suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.”
THIS SHIT WAS ONLY 58 YEARS AGO. PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS RACIST TERRORISM AND ACTS LIKE IT ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THEIR KIDS ARE IN THEIR 40′S AND 50′S.
DON’T LET RACISM APOLOGISTS GET AWAY WITH “WHY ARE YOU LIVING IN THE PAST,” BULLSHIT ARGUMENTS. WE ARE LITERALLY STILL DEALING WITH THE FAMILIES THAT FORMED HATE MOBS OVER BLACK CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL WITH WHITE KIDS.
