Lyra Stark - Goddess of War

Chapter 11

Natasha holds Lyra in her arms and brings her to her bed. Lyra stumbles beside her. She recognizes Natasha and Tony after a bit of time. She comes back in to the reality. She can't explain why she has so many flashbacks today.
„Dad... I am sorry. I was by Loki without your knowledge. We have talked about him and books", Lyra tells Tony and looks tiered to him. Natasha helps her to get in bed.
„It's okay. We talk tomorrow about it", Tony answers and wasn't angry. He was worried. He couldn't protect her in the past. He doesn't know enough about her time in Hydra. She doesn't tell him about the time. Natasha was able to understand Lyra's past. He wasn't sure if he was a good father.
„Dad... can you stay with me until I sleep?", Lyra asks and looks at him. He nods and lies down next to her. He looks at her and smiles softly.
„I stay with you as long you need me", Tony says softly. Natasha goes out to her own room. Lyra hugs Tony and her breath goes smoothly. She sleeps and hold Tony. Tony smiles and look at her. He looks to the door as it knocks. Thor opens the door.
„Is everything okay with Lyra?", asks Thor and looks at her.
„I don't know. She had flashbacks. I can't help her. She doesn't tell me anything from the past before I saved her...", Tony tells and looks at Thor. He can see that Thor cares much about her.
„Take good care of her until I come back", Thor begs Tony.
„Of course. She is my daughter. I will protect her", Tony answered seriously and looks down to Lyra next to him. Thor nods.
„And my little sister", Thor answers and looks to Lyra, „Give her tomorrow a pop tarts from me. This with pink sparkles." Tony looks at him. Why does a big guy like pink candy? He confuses and doesn't know how to response.
„Good night", Thor gets out and let both alone.

On the next morning, Lyra wakes up and sees Tony sleeping next to her. She smiles and gets up. Lyra covers Tony quietly and goes to her wardrobe. In her phone is a message from Natasha which informs her that she had made breakfast this morning. In her wardrobe, Lyra gets dressed. She writes Natasha that she comes down in a few minutes. Before going to the kitchen, Lyra looks at Tony and makes a photo of him, to send it to Pepper.
Pepper sends a emoji back. She was a workaholic and Lyra doesn't know if Pepper was early awake or hasn't slept. She doesn't ask and goes down to Natasha.
"Good morning, Sweetie", greets Natasha her and puts a plate for her on the table.
"Morning", answers Lyra and sits down, "Oh cool Pancakes!" She begins to eat and sees Clint coming to both. He takes a cup of coffee and sits down.
"Morning", he mumbles sleepy and sips coffee, "Nat. Do you want to come with me this weekend?" Natasha looks at him and nods.
"Yes. Of course. I thought we can take Lyra with us to get a break", Natasha answers his question.
"Where do we go with him? Dad will never allow me to go out of the tower without him. You know this very well. Last time I was grounded for a week and we were only shopping", Lyra asks and was sceptic.
"Clint has a farmhouse. It's very nice. I will tell your father that you and I make a girl's weekend. This should make it easier", Natasha explains to her the plan, "If he says no I get u with the jet and take responsibility for this."
"Okay. I come with you", Lyra answers her and was excited to go with Natasha on a trip. This also gave her time to learn more about Clint.
"Where is your farm?", Lyra asks him and takes the next Pancake. Natasha made very much, because Lyra needs much food and has a very fast metabolism.
"Wow this is a healthy hunger", says Clint surprised and looks at Lyra, "I can't say you the location, because it's my safe house. I don't want Hydra or any other one to know about it." Lyra nods and looks at the clock.
"I need to go to school. Nat, can you drive me? Dad sleeps and Happy is with Pepper by Stark industry", Lyra begs her. She loves to drive with Natasha in her motorcycle. It was so cool. Tony hates it, but Lyra loves the feeling of freedom.
"Yes. I get my keys", Natasha answers and goes to her room. Clint looks at her and smiles.
"She loves you very much", Clint tells her, and is happy for his friend. Lyra smiles.
"I love her too. I trust her more than anyone, except of my dad", Lyra says this and sees Natasha as a mother figure, "She teaches me a lot in the time we know each other. I feel safe with her." Clint smiles and nods. Natasha comes back and takes Lyra's school bag.
"Let's go. We won't be late", Natasha says, and goes down to the garage with Tony's cars. Lyra follows her and grins.
"Bike or car?", Lyra asks Natasha about the driving.
"Car. It is raining outside ", Natasha answers and takes Tony's Audi. Lyra gets in the car with her. Both drive to Lyra's school. It needs only a few minutes from the tower to her school.
The music in the radio is comforting, and Lyra looks out of the window while Natasha is driving.
"This guy, Peter, do you like him?", Natasha asks.
"He is just a friend and likes another girl. I see him only as a friend. I don't have time for boys. And who will stand up in front of my father and Thor? The boys will run away as soon they see them", Lyra answers, "I don't want this. I wait till the college to like a boy." She doesn't want to say to Natasha that she doesn't want to bring someone in danger because of her. Rumlow was watching Lyra and she was sure they wait for the right moment to take her.
"I pick you up after school", Natasha tells her and stops in front of the school.
"Thank you", Lyra replies and hugs her. "I will write you if something happens." She gets out of the car and waves to Natasha.
"Have a good day sweetie", Natasha says and drives back.
"Was that Black widow?", Ned one of Lyra's friends asks her. She sighs.
"No. That was my aunt Nat", Lyra answers and goes with Ned to the building. MJ and Peter are in the classroom and sit in their places.
"Hey Lyra. How are you? I heard near your home was the attack of Loki", Peter asks her worried. She could say the truth about yesterday.
"I'm okay. My father has arranged help to repair everything. Oh, he invited you three for dinner today", Lrya tells and sends them the address of the tower, "This is my address. The dinner is at five o'clock." All three says they will come to the dinner.
"Wow, so you live near the Stark tower?", Ned asks euphorically.
"Ehm... my father works in the tower, and we live in it", Lyra answers, "He built things..." She is a bit nervously about the fact to tell them the truth. No one except the Avengers and Shield knows that she is Tony Starks daughter.
"Build things? Is he an engineer for Stark?", Peter asks her. The four go to their classroom for the maths lesson.
"Yes, my father is an engineer", Lyra answers and sit down at her sit, "He is very good in his job and loves to build machines." She sits between MJ and Ned. Lyra loves maths and natural sciences. She wants later to be a mix from Tony and Bruce as scientist and likes to build on machines with Tony. Tony plans to make her later as the head of Stark industries. He teaches her in informatic and engineering. This was the passion from both Starks.
"We would like to come to you and meet your father. It will be cool to see the Stark tower from the inside. Not much people are allowed to get in. We will tell our parents that we're going to eat with you. If it's okay, we could go with you after school and make homework together", Ned suggests this. Lyra thinks about it and took her phone.
"I need to ask my dad, but it should be okay", Lyra answers and write Tony a message. He responds with yes immediately. She smiles and write Natasha to let her know about the other.
"My aunt picks us up after school", she informs her friends, "But please be normal around her." She doesn't want her friends to act crazy around Natasha. Of course, she knows, that Natasha is cool.
"We are totally normal", Peter responds and gives Ned a Lego figure. Lyra looks at him, suspects and nods slow.
"Of course, very normal", Lyra says this with a lot of sarcasm, "You both are the biggest nerds I know, and I know Bruce Banner."
"You know Dr. Banner!", Peter shouts, questioning and looks at Lyra. She gets up and holds Peter's mouth shut with her hands. How can a person be so bad keeping secrets?
"Yes, he works with my dad. So shut up and be quite", Lyra hisses and take her hands from his mouth. He nods and both are going quiet. MJ looks to her friends and sighs. She seems to suspect Lyra. She knows that her friends were being able to be freaks by some topics. But they also are the best persons in this school. Lyra was also sure, that they would keep the truth safe. She looks up as her teacher comes in and begins the lessons.
