I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome A.K.A EDS or hypermobility and I am an ambulatory wheelchair user for my flare-ups can cause even more dislocations, chronic pain, fatigue, and POTS symptoms which make it hard to walk and stand all day. thank goodness for living with a billionaire who adopted me after my parents kicked me out because he got me health care and mobility aids. You would probably know him as Tony Stark.

So when I came into the kitchen in my super cool custom wheelchair with teal, green, and blue tires, removable armrests, short backing, and higher-up brakes he just simply said; "Flare-up today?"

"yup" Don't get me wrong I am still a superhero, but with a not-so-super curse. my parents worked for the Red Room so I was an assassin but was told I was defective because of my undiagnosed disability.

All the Avengers started waking up and walking into the kitchen trying to find something to eat. my good friend, Peter Parker A.K.A: Spiderman, walks over to my spot at the counter made just for my wheelchair days. He pulls out a chair and sits next to me not saying a word for a moment.

"Are you gonna wheel to school with me?" Peter asks with a smirk on his face I just scoff with a smile

"Of course spiderboy."

"That's Spiderman sir to you, miss!" He sarcastically spits back at me

"You're not worthy of that name!" The banter goes on until we are on our way out of the door and to school.

"Got everything?" Tony asks as me as I get ready to leave

"Ya, I think so. I have my wheelchair, my liquid IV, extra salty snacks just in case, and my sunflower keychain attached to my backpack."

"Ok great! Call me if you need anything."

"Thanks, Tony, you're the best!" Tony just turns away smiling

"Maybe when you're on my good side."

"Whatever old man" Tony rolls his eyes and I just laugh.

It's freezing outside and snowing. Peter and I stop by Ned's house to catch the train to school with him.

"Oh hello Peter, y/n! how are you guys?" Ned's mom says as she opens the door.

"Great!" Peter said

"Seen better days." y/n said

"Aww honey, stay positive and you'll get through it just fine!"

"Thanks"

"Bye, Mom! Hi guys!" Ned shouts as he runs out of the house.

"Bye!" replies Ned's mom and with that they leave.

Peter and Ned walk down the road while she rolls and struggles to keep up.

"You good? Need me to push you?" asks Peter

"Maybe. I don't want to waste my energy before school"

"Ok" Peter goes behind me and starts pushing my chair

"Thank you."

"of course!"

After school, we walk home but not before stopping at Mr.Delmar's sub restaurant.

"Peter! Ned! y/n! The usual I'm guessing?" He asks brightly like the sun was shining finally after a weeklong flood watch.

"You know it!" Peter says enthusiastically

We grab our sandwiches and go walking to the Stark Tower just as Peter stops suddenly.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask but he doesn't reply, he goes into in ally just as a guy who was hiding in it jumps out and tackles him. But Peter being the mutated teenager that he is, flips the guy over his back and makes him plummet to the floor with a loud SLAM! Then one comes up from behind Peter and shoots him with a funny-looking gun and Peter flops to the ground in an instant,

"Ok, so this is how it's going to be," I say with murder laced in my voice. Two more people jump out from the ally and tackle Ned.

"Don't bother with the wheelchair kid. We can just gag her and wheel her around" one of the muggers said,

"Why do people always assume that I'll be the easiest?" I say twisting my chair around the get some momentum and swinging my legs at one of Ned's mugger's shins. He falls to the ground yelping. The other one catches on that I won't be easier to mug and starts coming at me throwing punches, I dodge and kick the guy in the balls and punch him in the head knocking him out.

"Good night," I said sarcastically, the two guys that were awake were on the ground moaning and groaning in pain just as the police and Tony had shown up.

"What happened?" Tony asked

"I kicked their asses," I said calmly

"Well I see that, but what happened that made you have to kick their asses?"

"They tried to mug us" I stated like it was very obvious, which it was.

"Why is Peter on the ground?" 

"Oh some guy shot him with a Spider-Man dosed tranquilizer, I think. But to be honest, you should get him looked at." I looked over at Ned who was still staring in awe at me.

"how- but you- wha-?" Ned stammered 

"It's ok Ned," I said as I made my way over to him to calm him. Not like he hasn't helped Peter fight before, he just hasn't seen ME fight before.

We got home so Bruce could look at Peter to confirm that it was just a mild Spider-Man-sized tranquilizer and that he would wake up in about an hour.

"So are YOU ok, y/n?" Stark asked me

"Ya of course! They said that I would be the easiest to mug since I was in a wheelchair, but I ended up being the one who put them in jail!" I said giggling 

"Ya kid you have some real talent." He said thoughtfully.

When Tony was done with me I went up to Peter's room, got in his bed, and slept with him until he woke up. No one would disturb us here and when he woke up I could have some nice "alone" time with him, if you know what I mean.
