Olivia's room-

The next morning

Knock knock

"Honey? Can I come in?" Tony

No answer.

"Honey? Are you awake?" Tony

No answer.

"Olivia, I'm coming in, baby." Tony

Tony walks in and Olivia is fast asleep. He sits on the bed next to Olivia and strokes her hair before waking her up, gently.

"Olivia? Honey, it's time to wake up." Tony

Olivia groans.

"Mmmm." Olivia

"Come on, baby. Up you get." Tony

Olivia opens her eyes.

"Morning, dad." Olivia

"Morning, sleepyhead." Tony

"What time is it?" Olivia

"8am." Tony

"Dad, it's so early!" Olivia

"We have a busy, day. Come on, Steve made breakfast." Tony

Olivia nods.

"I brought you some clothes, Nat said you could wear these." Tony

"Thanks, dad." Olivia

"Don't be too long." Tony

"I won't." Olivia

Tony gets up and walks out. Olivia takes a quick shower before changing and making her way downstairs.

Kitchen-

"Hey, Olivia." Steve

"Morning, Cap." Olivia

"Help yourself to some breakfast." Steve

Olivia takes a small portion of everything and sits in between Nat and Tony.

"Baby, is that all you're gonna eat?" Tony

Olivia nods.

"I don't have a big appetite." Olivia

"You should really eat more than that, baby." Tony

"But I ate yesterday." Olivia

"Honey, you're supposed to eat every day." Tony

"I know, but my body isn't used to that. It'll probably take me a while to get used to eating every day." Olivia

"How often did you eat?" Natasha

"I don't know, every 7 visits or so. But I don't know how often he came in, whether it was daily or every two days, maybe every three of four days. I have no idea." Olivia

Tony clenches his fist.

"I'll eat as much as I can, dad." Olivia

Tony nods.

"I'm gonna regret asking this, but what did you even eat?" Peter

"Oh uh, stale bread, mainly. Sometimes porridge, well I think it was porridge, it wasn't very nice though." Olivia

Tony closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Dad, it's okay." Olivia

"No, it's not! It's not okay! None of that was okay! It will never be okay! So stop telling me that it's okay when it isn't!" Tony
