I sigh deeply. I don't know if I'm mentally stable enough to Spiderman tonight. Maybe I'll ask Tony if he wants to go up to the roof with me.

I get out of bed and decide to get into pajamas. I put on a big hoodie over them. I grab a blanket off my bed and wrap it around me. After that I scoop up Tec and carry him out of the room with me. He huffs a little but continues to sleep peacefully. I'm glad Tony got him for me.

I make my way down to Tony and Bruce's lab. I peek my head in. There doesn't seem to be any of the usual sounds coming from inside. I walk in to see Tony laying with his head on the desk. I smile and my heart melts. He stayed here all night. I walk over and cover him with my blanket carefully so I don't wake him.

I was going to ask him to join me but he must be really tired. I walk Tec and I to the living room and snatch a blanket for myself off the couch. I walk up the stairs to the roof and make my way over to the bench. I lay down on the bench and rest Tec on my chest. The night is peaceful and I love the sounds of the cars driving way down below. The wind up here makes it pretty cold but I've got a blanket and a dog so I'll be fine. Tec stirs a little and moves his head.

My mind explores all of the things that have happened in the past few days. Honestly if I was able to tell my past self all of this would happen to me, I wouldn't believe it. It feels almost like a dream. I'm happy the kids don't have to deal with Barwick anymore. I'm sad I haven't been able to talk to them since yesterday. Ugh, and I have homework due too. There's so much that's happened I don't know how to process everything. I let my eyelids close softly.

The next thing I know Tony is nudging me a little. "Kid you should go back to your bed." I groan. "What time is it?" He chuckles. "Almost one." I sigh. My eyelids feel heavy. I collect myself and stand up. Tony walks me down to my room. I lay back down and almost immediately pass back out. Tec sneezes and snuggles back into me. He yawns and give me a little lick.

I wake up for the second time this morning but this time to the sound of my alarm. I'm tired and a bit emotionally numb. I stand up and get my clothes on. I grab my backpack and the rest of my things and make my way to the kitchen. I know I don't need to wake up this early, especially considering no one else really gets up this early, but I can't help it. It's part of my routine.

The kitchen is empty as I thought it would be. Maybe I should make breakfast for everyone. It probably will make me feel a little better. But I'm so exhausted. I wonder who's turn it is to cook. I sigh. I'll make some french toast and some bacon if we have any. I nice and simple breakfast and not too much work on my end. I grab all of my ingredients and utensils that I'll need. I find some bacon and a cookie sheet. Then I turn on the oven and get going on the mix for the french toast.

I beat the eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a bit of milk together. Then I get out a couple of loaves of bread. I turn on the stove and make quick work of the rest. After a little while I have a massive pile of french toast and a big plate full of bacon. I take my share and sit down to eat.

Soon after I sit down Cap and Bucky make their way into the kitchen. "Oh!" Cap exclaims. "Wow, you wake up early. Thanks for making food! I honestly didn't know what I was going to make! Haha!" I smile back at him. "It's no problem. It's part of my routine. I'm used to making large amounts of food. The others should be trickling in soon." They grab plates and sit down to start eating. "This is really good son!" I thank him and finish my food.

The early risers, Nat, Clint, Dr. Strange, and Bruce all make their way to the kitchen at relatively the same time. I smile and greet each one as they arrive. They all grab food and sit down. Cap ended up ratting on me and telling everyone I made the food, so everyone started thanking me. I blushed and told them it was no big deal.
