I laid on my bed and closed my eyes. I tried falling asleep, but I felt my head spinning. I was aware of every noise or light or thought and realized my eyes kept opening. I stared at the ceiling. I was tired, but couldn't sleep.
I rolled on my stomach, face buried in my pillow. I wanted a break from my thoughts. I sighed and got up. My head was still hurting, but I wasn't feeling worse. I decided to go to the living room and get to know the Avengers better, but before that, I needed to put my mom on the phone with Tony.
I found him and Bruce in the lab, looking through a microscope.
"What's up, kid?" asked Tony.
"Uh...my mom wanted to talk to you" I said, dialing and then handing him the phone.
"Hello? Yeah, this is Tony Stark" he said, exiting the room, phone to his ear.
"I see you're not sleeping" smiled Bruce.
"Nah, I couldn't. My head still hurts a little, though."
"You do need some rest" he insisted.
I lifted my shoulders.
"Not gonna happen" I laughed.
Tony returned with the phone.
"Well??" I asked him nervously.
"I convinced her to let you stay here for a while and train."
"Really? Thank you so much!! How'd you do that?"
"I'm a very charming person".

"Want some coffee?" asked Pietro casually, zooming over to the coffee machine.
"She is a kid" said Steve, shaking his head.
"I drink coffee all the time" I said.
He looked up at me, one eyebrow raised.
"Uh-oh. Here comes "the lecture" " said Pietro, rolling his eyes.
"Wanna die when you're 30?" he asked.
"I could die tomorrow, get hit by a bus or something" I replied.
"She's got a point" replied Loki. It was the first time I heard him talk. He was Thor's brother, so a God. He had a British accent and a mischievous grin.
"You still shouldn't drink coffee. Listen to a man who's been frozen for 65 years-"
"Urghhhh" said Pietro, looking at the ceiling in despair. "If I have to hear this again I swear-"
That's when Nat and Clint walked in.
"Hey, guys. Hey, kiddo" said Nat.
Clint frowned when he saw me.
"Did you skip class or something?"
I sighed for the 100th time that day.
"No, Tony picked me up because my head hurt. I only missed last class. I would've been home by now anyway."
He tilted his head to the side, satisfied with my answer.
"Fair enough. You alright now?"
"Yes...just peachy!" I said. "So...what do you guys do on Friday nights?"
"...nothing" replied Bucky, the guy who was staring at me yesterday with the "I'm gonna kill you look".
"Come on, it's Friday! You gotta have some sort of tradition" I said.
"What's special about Fridays?" asked Loki with an annoyed and bored face.
"It's like a...milestone! You have survived yet another week!" I laugh.
Nat raised an eyebrow.
"I agree with the girl. We should do something fun!" said Pietro.
"We could watch a scary movie and make popcorn" I suggested. "That's what we used to do back at home on Fridays"
"That sounds fun! You better not get scared, Bucky" he laughed.
Bucky glared at him with the same look.

I convinced everyone except Sam, Rhodes and Loki to watch the movie. Sam was busy practicing his telepathy over birds (or something similar), Rhodes was nowhere to be seen and Loki considered himself superior to the concept of movie-watching.
It was 9pm when we finally pushed the play button on the TV and started eating popcorn.
The movie was something with a creepy little girl ghost. Everything went fine until she jumped up from behind a door with a creepy grin.
I screamed and laughed. Steve seemed disappointed in this generation's movies. Tony looked confused, and so did Clint. Thor screamed and grabbed Tony's arm. Wanda also screamed and hid her face in Pietro's shirt, who also looked pretty scared. Nat had a small smile in the corner of her mouth. She seemed to enjoy the movie. Bruce was pretty startled, Vision had an emotionless face and Bucky...well, he didn't look impressed.
When the movie was over, it was almost 12 pm.
"The movie was good...although I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight" said Wanda.
"I'm sorry...I didn't think it would scare you guys this much" I replied.
"Scare us? Do not talk such nonsense, little mortal" said Thor, protecting his dignity.
"You screamed the loudest, Rapunzel" replied Tony as he left the room.
"Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed now" I said. "Good night, guys!"
"Sweet dreams!" said Wanda.
"Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!" said Pietro.
"Really mature" I replied.
"I hope you dream in HD quality" said Vision.
