Gwen was normally a very happy little girl. Very sweet, very sassy, very smart. She packed a punch to be in such a small body, but that was part of her charm. She was genuine when she gave her hugs; it wasn't just because she was trying to be a good girl or be polite. She loved hugging Steve and Tony. Hugs were a great way to say hello, they were a great way to make people feel better when they were sad, they were a way to show how happy you were. Yes. Gwen liked hugs and when Steve hugged her she did feel better.
She definitely didn't want Tony to be sore at her for climbing too high, and she didn't want Steve to be mad at her about it either. If Tony got mad at Steve for letting her go too high she'd definitely say it was her fault and not to get mad because Steve was doing his job and he was just the greatest.
"Really?" Her tears went away and were replaced with a big smile. "Okay!" She scrambled around right onto Steve's back and clung to him.
