Helping Hand

Dad!Chris Evans x Wife!Reader

Summary: Chris really loves to workout in your home gym, especially since the pandemic and virus season, he loved the idea of having his own workout space all to himself. Funny enough when you can’t find your three year old daughter Arlie, check the gym, and you might find her attached to her dad’s hip

Warnings: non, straight pure fluffy dad Chris, sassy Arlie

A/N: Baby Arlie is back to making an appearance!! I adore this pairing so much it rots my teeth, I think I’m going to divide my masterlist and add a Dad!Chris/ Dad + Arlie Section, let me know what you think, this one may be a little shorter, hopefully not horrible lmao but happy reading!!

Word Count: 846

Little Arlie girl was the epitome of her father’s shadow, following him around whenever and wherever she could, especially now that she was walking more and handling stairs better. That wasn’t to say you and Chris didn’t still watch her like a hawk in case she needed a hand or fell, but she was getting more and more independent every day. It was often days like today when Chris was off in your home gym completing his daily workout, whether it was legs, chest or arms, Arlie always found a way to weasel her little self into the gym to be with her daddy. So when you called her name for snack time and didn’t get a response, you made your way into the den where you’d left her last only to find her colouring book open and water bottle where she left it on the coffee table. 

“That little bug…”

You couldn’t help but laugh quietly knowing just how good of an escape artist she was, so you tidied her markers up and walked your way down the hall and to the steps leading into the basement. When you opened the door, you could hear her giggles and little squeals as she and Chris worked through their weight session together

“I stronger than you daddy!”

The sight at the bottom of the stairs bringing a smile to your face, she had her set of dumbbells, which weighed virtually nothing in her hands, while Chris was on his back, two green and yellow weights on his chest to keep him to the floor

“I think you certainly are dove, I think I need some help!”

Arlie put her weights down and placed her tiny hands on her hips in a superman like pose and sighed 

“I help you on one ‘dition daddy.”

You laughed at her shortened version of the word condition, because it was just the cutest thing in the world listening to her learning and practicing new words. At the sound of your laugh Arlie looked to you and clapped 

“Hi mommy!!”

Chris smiled too, practically identical to your little girl 

“Yeah, hi mommy”

“Hi you two, what’s going on down here?”

Arlie cocked her hip to the side, the sass with her was off the charts, Chris never failing to let you know it comes from you

“I doing the lifties thing with daddy, an’ he not strong ‘nough to hold my colour sticks”

Colour sticks, what she called her dumbbells, despite you attempting to teach her the word, it would forever be known as colour sticks to you and your husband

“Oh, I see, so are you gonna help him bug?”

“Mhm, I got one ‘dition first mommy”

You chuckled sitting down with the two of them on the floor, watching her as she began waving her arms around 

“What’s that baby?”

“Well, I wanna watch cartoon and have two cookies!”

Chris pretended to think about it for a few moments, closing his eyes before letting out a dramatic sigh and holding his hand out to Arlie

“Okay Arlie girl, you got yourself a deal.”

“Deal daddy!”

She wrapped her much smaller hands around his larger one and shook with all her toddler strength before grabbing the dumbbells off his chest. Chris immediately took her in his arms and sat up covering her face in kisses while the room filled with the sounds of her laughter and now yours mixed in together. Moments like these making you take a mental snapshot watching the two people you loved most experiencing life together

“Alright my little gym crazies, how about we go upstairs for some snacks?”

After a collective cheer of yesses, the three of you made your way upstairs where Arlie got comfy in her chair at the island, and you and Chris stood in front of her, smiles on both of your faces as she munched away on some apples and peanut butter, her current favourite obsession

“Hey daddy?”

Chris finished chewing one a slice of the apple you’d also given him before answering her 

“Yeah baby?”

“Don’t ‘fink I forgot about our deal.”

Your hand quickly covered your mouth as you began laughing, Chris losing it beside you as well

“O-Okay dove I won’t...”

Chris could barely get that sentence out without laughing and the two of you managed to calm down after a couple minutes, Arlie looking between her mom and dad with a stone-faced expression, clearly not finding any of this funny

“Arlie baby you are going to be a force to be reckoned with when you get older”

“Just like you mommy!”

You laughed shaking your head at her before Chris chimed in beside you quickly to agree with his little girl

“Yep, just like mommy”

Chris leaned over to press a kiss to your cheek before wrapping an arm around you and bringing you to him. That moment in the kitchen becoming another mental snapshot you’d hope to keep with you forever, your sassy Arlie girl never failing to make each day as interesting as the last.

[your-queer-dad]

I think I've been co ditioned to feel childish when I find something I genuinely like?? Like I was watching Invader Zim earlier and just started feeling overly childish and ashamed for it. I don't know why my brain is like that but I feel like I can only watch the things I like if I'm at home with my door shut.

Hey kiddo- I honestly understand how you feel, it happens to me too and it sucks. We live in a society that prioritised the boring and mundane as "adult things" and anyone who doesn't do adult things is automatically childish- it sucks and it isn't true! You can be adult and enjoy cartoons or traditionally kids things- it doesn't make you any less of adult.

I get how it feels to feel like you have to hide your interests, and I'm so sorry if anyone has ever made you feel like that. Finding something you like is a good thing, it makes you happy! In a world of such doom and gloom that's an amazing thing! It sucks that society says you can only like certain things.

I'm happy you found things that you like (and Invader Zim is a really good show!!).

The Guild of Beasts (5)

• When Kai is admitted to the Guild, Nya is the one who settles him in her apartment so that the two of them can live together like before. In addition, Nya personally took care of his brother's recovery, since Kai would start training him once his injuries and health improved. Flame was kept asleep inside Kai for the moment, as he didn't want to risk detection for the moment he kept his power off in Kai, so at least his new human vessel could fully recover.

• While Kai was recovering Nya showed him all the facilities of the Guild and how it operated, also Nya introduced him to her friends, with whom she could at least find some comfort after being away from Kai. Nya explained to Kai that he met his friends while they were all training in the Hunters field in their city, they managed to become friends after helping each other again in the confrontation of creatures.

• Nya's best friends are: Cole Bucket, Zane Julien and Jay Gordon, at least the ones she does missions with outside the Guild, Pixal Borg is her best friend, and she is an A-class Hunter who works in the Guild's Technology and Weapons department.

• Cole is the leader of the group, and he is the strongest S-class Hunter in the entire Guild since apart from having superhuman strength, he has the power to manipulate the earth around him, he has a sacred weapon in the form of a great stone hammer with metallic and gold decorations. It was his family that was attacked by his enemies after they followed him to his home, luckily his family was saved thanks to him, but his father, Lou, was left with an injured leg and now needs a cane to move. Cole was affected by this fact and was the one who recommended the new methods of keeping the families of the Guild safe from their other enemies. Now his family lives in a new location where they can be safe, his mother Lily for the moment decided to continue with his father's work until he fully recovers, since the Bucket family is famous for their great participation in talent and dance tournaments throughout Ninjago, they won many awards by always being in first place.

• Zane is an important member in the Guild, he is an S class Hunter who also dedicated himself to taming all kinds of creatures for the Guild, he helps the research and healing department. Before the attacks began, Zane belonged to a family of great doctors, and his dream was to become one too, but after being recruited into the Beasts Guild, Zane focused a lot on researching creatures and new healing methods using runes and different types of magic. It has the ability to create ice, its creature is an X-class falcon that can appear to be a normal falcon, but in reality it has unique communication and espionage abilities, Zane uses it to send all kinds of messages to his group and Guild, also uses it to communicate remotely with his family. His father, Dr. Julien now works at the largest hospital in Ninjago using his Blessing of Healing and his younger brother Echo, studies to become a doctor and uses his Blessing to enhance his healing abilities. His holy weapon is a bow made by Pixal that adapts to his abilities, and Zane and Pixal are a couple.

• Jay is also an important member of the Guild, he is also an S-class Hunter and he is Nya's co-worker, they both met in the training camp and have been together ever since, they got engaged a year after they were all reunited for the Guild, Jay was a comfort to Nya knowing that she was separated from her brother Kai, but Jay also can't do much communication with his parents, both are famous movie actors all over Ninjago, only his mother Libber managed to get a Ben dition while his father Cliff was still a normal human. Cole is his best friend and helps the department of inventions and weapons, thanks to his Blessing on manipulating lightning powers, Jay managed to make many of the Guild's inventions work perfectly, he became very close to the couple of inventors who work in the Guild, Ed and Edna Walker, he considers them both as his second parents. His sacred weapon is nunchucks that can stretch thanks to an infinite magical chain, he possesses hidden blades for a more lethal attack, and thanks to his lightning powers, the nunchucks serve as conductive guides for Jay's lightning bolts.

• Pixal despite not being an S-class Hunter like her other friends, if she is an A-class Hunter, her ability is to manipulate all kinds of technology and use it to create new mechanisms, weapons, and among other things. Her only relative is the famous inventor and businessman Cyrus Borg, despite being disabled he is capable of creating the best inventions, his company is allied with the Beasts Guild and many inventions are brought from the Borg tower. She is engaged to Zane, and her best friend is Nya, she has tried to support her in any way she can, and she was the one who helped her sneak out of the Guild when she found out that Nya's brother was badly injured. She is in charge of communications in the Guild and the one who makes the weapons for some of the members. She sometimes goes out on missions but it doesn't always happen, as she would rather work from the Guild than get involved in fights.

• Lloyd is the youngest member of the Guild, and he is too important since he is the son of the leader Garmadon and Misako, a researcher who travels to different places collecting magical objects and trying to investigate more the magical world that merged with the world of humans. But in fact, Lloyd is not Garmadon's legitimate son, his mother is not an Awakened either, but he is, and at a young age he became an S-class Hunter, his ability is to create energy of pure creation, as well as destructive. He still trains to be a Hunter, but since then his home has been the Guild of Beasts, he never met his biological father, as his mother explained that he died of an illness when Lloyd was a baby, since then his mother raised him alone. He was 8 years old when his Blessing awakened, and when the creatures invaded his world, when his mother started working in the Beasts Guild she fell in love with Garmadon and they both got married, Garmadon tries to be a good father, and Lloyd appreciates him, but he still doesn't get used to calling him "dad", but he does call Wu "uncle", sometimes, since he always sees his stepfather Garmadon and Wu together. The only member he has a good relationship with is Nya, he sees her as his older sister.

• Morro is an orphan who became Wu's disciple, in addition, he is Lloyd's main guardian, something that annoys him since he would rather face Z-class creatures than take care of a child, but even so, the Guild members assign him important missions and he always accompanies Wu in their meetings. He's too self-centered, but he's not such a bad guy, he annoys Jay sometimes, but not that much. Currently he doesn't have a co-worker, since he likes to be alone at all times, but Wu still tries to find him a partner, he is an S-class Hunter and his ability is to manipulate the wind, he might even be able to fly with his ability and take the air out of his opponents to disable them.

• Other guild leaders are Ronin, Mystake and Faith. Ronin is in charge of the members' training, Mystake in the healing and research department, and Faith is in charge of attending to all the creatures that the Guild possesses. Also, another member who works in the guild is Dareth, who works as a clerk in the Guild, and he's just a normal human, but he's amazing at doing her job, also, Ronin and Dareth are very good friends.

• The Guild has a large number of enemies, but among the most dangerous are the Serpentine Guild, the Underworld Guild, the Jade Gang, and a dangerous cult called the Anacondrai Cult. They also have other opposing Guilds such as the Merlopian Guild, the Shintaro Guild, and the Creature Hunters Guild. One of the Beasts Guild's important allies is the Ninjago Police Department, the Coast Guard group of Guardians, and the Winter Guild led by an old friend of Wu's named Sorla.

• Kai started his training once he recovered from his injuries and improved his health, Ronin took care of his training, like Nya, Flame managed to teach him how to control his power without detecting that Flame was inside him, he managed to get along with Nya's friends and get very close to Lloyd, but to his misfortune he had to be Morro's partner, despite not getting along, both manage to do great teamwork.

• In addition, Kai received as a sacred weapon a golden sword of fire that he found in a Dungeon while accompanying Nya on one of her missions, Pixal improved it for him and now he uses it with ease. And in his first confrontation with the Anacondrai Cult, Kai comes face to face with the cult leader's daughter named Skylor, and although he wants to deny it, he began to have feelings for the daughter of his enemy.

“Faith leads to immortal life. But faith presumes the acceptance of the mystery and of evil, and resignation to injustice. The man who is prevented by the suffering of children from accept­ing faith will certainly not accept eternal life. Under these conditions, even if eternal life existed, Ivan would refuse it. He rejects this bargain. He would accept grace only unconditionally, and that is why he makes his own con­ditions. Rebellion wants all or nothing. "All the knowledge in the world is not worth a child's tears." Ivan does not say that there is no truth. He says that if truth does exist, it can only be unacceptable. Why? Because it is unjust.”

53. THE PRESLAV TREASURE

The treasure was discovered in Kastana, a few kilometers northeast of Preslav. It is associated with the efflorescence of the Capital city of Tsar Symeon, between the late 9tk and early l(Tk cen-tury, Most probably it belonged to an aristocratic family and was buried in the fourth quarter of the 10th century when Knyaz Svetoslav of Kiev invaded Preslav twice before the town surrendered to Constantinople in 971.

The treasure had been accumulated in the course of years and consists mainly of jewelry as well as of some fragments of plates (of a rhyton), spoons and coins.

The objects are made of gold, silver and bronze, combined with colour enamel, precious stones, pearls and rock crystal. The decoration employs floral and geometrical patterns, images of mythological creatures from the Eastern tra-dition, and also images of birds peculiar of the Christian symbolism.

53. THE PRESLAV TREASURE

The treasure was discovered in Kastana, a few kilometers northeast of Preslav. It is associated with the efflorescence of the Capital city of Tsar Symeon, between the late 9tk and early l(Tk cen-tury, Most probably it belonged to an aristocratic family and was buried in the fourth quarter of the 10th century when Knyaz Svetoslav of Kiev invaded Preslav twice before the town surrendered to Constantinople in 971.

The treasure had been accumulated in the course of years and consists mainly of jewelry as well as of some fragments of plates (of a rhyton), spoons and coins.

The objects are made of gold, silver and bronze, combined with colour enamel, precious stones, pearls and rock crystal. The decoration employs floral and geometrical patterns, images of mythological creatures from the Eastern tra-dition, and also images of birds peculiar of the Christian symbolism.
