***
Tony felt guilty, he really should've realised before this point. 
You were his chid - he, himself was an insomniac. 
He called himself a genius and he couldn't even figure out that his own child was suffering the same way he was. 

While he was awake all night in the labs you were up looking at the stars on the roof of the tower. 
When the full of the night air set in and the breeze begun chill you to the bone, you set off back inside. 
As you walked in through the door, closing it quietly behind you, a voice spoke, startling you. 
T:" What are you doing up this late peach, it's nearly 4 morning"

You jumped and placed your hand over your heart, letting out a puff of air when you realised it was just your dad. 
y/n:" Oh, I just couldn't sleep so I went to look at the stars"
Tony nodded slightly, still looking at you as if you gage whether it was the truth or not. 
T:" Right well are you okay heading to bed now or do you want something before bed?"

Now there was a lot Tony didn't know how to deal with, being a father to a daughter, but not being about to sleep was definitely something Tony could help you with. 

y/n:" I'm okay, I think I can try and sleep again now"
T:" Okay, well you know you can get into my room any time you need"
You nodded slightly and the both of you walked to your room while gentle small talk flowed effortlessly between the two of you. 

When you got to your room you entered and Tony tucked you in, saying goodnight before leaving and closing the door behind himself. 
After laying there with your eyes closed for a little while you knew sleep was not in the cards for you today. 
You got up and snook down to the towers training room and gym, you were looking over your shoulder every couple of seconds, not wanting to get caught again by your dad. 

As you got down there, it was dark as expected, you flicked on the lights and got to doing your warm up. 
You knew it would only be 2 hours now until Steve and Bucky came down to warm up before they wet for their run. 

Now looking back on it, you knew pushing yourself while you hadn't slept properly was definitely not the best thing to have done - but right now you continued to beat many of your own personal records. 
About an hour in you started feeling really light headed and you couldn't focus your eyes. 

As you stepped back away from the equipment you were using you felt yourself crumple to the ground. 
After that it was all dark. 

As usual Steve and Bucky walked in at 6 o'clock, the looked around for you. 
Bucky was the first to lay eyes on you, he rushed forward while shouting Steve to get Tony. 
He held your head and checked your pulse. 

Seconds after Steve yelled at Friday to get Tony he ran through the doors of the gym. 
T:" What the hell did you do to her Barnes?!"
B:" I didn't do anything! I found her like this"
Tony turned he attention to you, he knew Barnes didn't do anything, he'd always had a soft spot for you. 

Tony crouched down beside you and shook your shoulders slightly. 
T:" Y/n, kiddo...c'mon wake up honey"
He moved his hand to brush your hair from your face and turned to Steve
T:" Call Bruce"
Steve gave him a curt nod and left to get Bruce. 

T:" What is she doing up at this time?"
B:" She's normally up at this time, we always come down to the gym and say 'hi' to her in the mornings"
Tony's eyes widened a little
T:" Every morning?"
B:" Yeah"

Before their conversation could continue Bruce came rushing in looking around frantically - he was like a second dad to you. 
BB:" What's going on!?"
T:" I don't know, Barnes and Rogers found her"
BB:" Get her back to my lab, Bucky carry her down for me"

Bruce got up and rushed back down to his lab, preparing a medical bed for you. 
BB:" Friday, get ready to run scans"
The second you were placed on the bed the scans started. 

F:" It appears Miss Stark passed out from exhaustion, I suggest rest and sleep medication"
Bruce looked over at Tony, who had a guilty expression on his face. 
B:" Don't feel bad Tony-"
T:" I should've noticed something Banner, I'm up all night too. It should have atleast crossed my mind that I could have given my insomnia to her"

With all Tony's panic and Bruce being distracted trying to calm him, no one noticed you awake on the bed. 
y/n:" It's not your fault dad"
Both their heads whipped around to you.

Tony looked down upon making eye contact with you. 
y/n:" I hid it from everyone, not just you. I didn't want any of you to worry about me"
T:" Yea well that didn't get you very far did it?"
You smiled at your dads snarky comment. 

T:" C'mon, lets get you to bed"
He picked you up like he used to do when you were a little kid.
T:" You've got a lot longer since I last carried you like this"
You laughed a little and closed your eyes, letting yourself go in the safety of your dads arms. 

When he put you down you looked around the room confused, this wasn't your room. 
T:" Sleep. We'll sleep like we used to when you were little"
You curled up on his bed as he layed on the other side of the bed. 
With the safety of the familiarity with being sleeping in your dads room, you closed your eyes and felt yourself relax. 

A/N: I hope you liked this one, I'm sorry for the lack of posts. I haven't been feeling the best with my writing at the moment and also I have a lot of stress with my GCSEs fast approaching. It may be like this for a while now, I really hope you guys understand. 

But I hope you are all well and safe. I hope anyone who is either from Ukraine or knows someone are all safe and cared for.
