We meet again

Chapter 2

The future

10 years later. Year 2033

The New York is alive and loud as always. Cars honking at the lightest stop. People walking the streets, minding their business. Schools still being hell for children, at least in their opinion. The legends, Black Widow and Ironman are still big in popularity. How could they not be? They saved this universe.

"Bye!" The girl, Morgan Stark, said to her friends. The daughter of this worlds hero, is walking out of midtown high where she attends school. She's 14 now, and lives with her mother in the Stark Tower her mother owns. After all, this city still needs help with machinery and robotics. Morgan enters a black car, meeting Happy inside as the driver."Hey Happy!"

"Hey kid" Happy says as he swerved onto the road. "How was school?" The man asked like he did everyday.

"There was a calculus test today. It was very easy, to be honest." Morgan said and Happy smiled. "We're going straight home?" The girl asked. "Yeah? Where else would we go?" Happy answered a bit confused at her question.

"Well, i was thinking we could go for a burger?" The man rolled his eyes. knew it, he thought. "No, Pepper has dinner ready for you. A healthy one." Morgan sighted. Well, it didn't work. She slouched back in her seat, looking out the window.

Back home

Morgan went to the elevator of her home. "Welcome back Morgan. Was your day good today?" F.R.I.D.A.Y.

"Heya Fri. It was good." The elevator stopped, the doors opening swiftly to the highest floor in the building, their house. Pepper was nowhere to be seen. She's still at work then. The dinner is still warm in the kitchen with a note from her mother. 'Had to go to the office again. Sorry sweetie. Love you! PS: Could you sort some stuff in the old bedroom? I'll tell you why when i come back, thank you hun!'. Morgan smiled a bit. Recently Pepper has been so caught up in work they barely spent any time together. But Morgan didn't want to think about that now.

She ate dinner in silence and right after finishing, she went to the room. Opening the door she saw multiple boxes, still closed after moving in from their house in the forest. She sighted. "Well, it's gonna be a long night"

Morgan said to herself and began opening them. There weren't any shocking stuff, just some of their old clothes, old school books, just normal things. She kept sorting stuff, which to throw away and which to keep. She found some pretty old but cool clothes that she guessed were her mothers. Some old paperwork of her dad's works. But she noticed something Strange in that box.

She pulled everything out as it was on the bottom of the box. When she got it out it was...a picture? It was a photo in a pretty old, wooden frame. In the photo there was her dad. But, there was a teenager with him. A brunette with short, fluffy kind of hair, smiling and holding a Stark Industries diploma of some sort? Weird. Her mom never told her that her dad had a teenage worker at SI, especially as teenagers aren't allowed to work here.

Morgan decided to take the picture and ask her mom later about it. For now, she needs to finish sorting those stuff until her mom comes back. And so she sorted everything from top to bottom. She was halfway done when F.R.I.D.A.Y. alerted her that her mom came back to the living quarters. She got up, took the picture and went to the kitchen where she would be.

"Hey mom" Morgan said as she glanced at her mom in the kitchen. Pepper turend around. "Hey hun! How was school? Did you take care of that room?"
"School was good, and the room is halfway done i think, there's a lot of stuff in there".
Pepper chuckled
"Yeah, your dad had a lot of stuff around oir previous house".
"Uhm, hey mom?". Morgan asked
"Yeah sweetie?" Pepper answered, seeing as her daughter looks curious about something"
"Uhm, i...found this picture in one of the boxes. Do you know who that is next to dad?". Pepper took the photo and looked at it. "They look like they're pretty close". Morgan said, hoping to get an answer. But as Pepper stared at the photo, confusion written on her face. She says. "No, i have no idea who that is." Pepper truly had no idea who was that kid. She knew about every single person that Tony met, but...she really has no idea. Pepper gave Morgan the photo back. "But you can keep it since your dad on it. Im gonna go to bed honey, i have to wake up early. Goodnight". Pepper said.

"Goodnight..." Morgan said as she watched her mom dissapeard into her bedroom. She was confused. She felt like she saw him somewhere, like they met. She shook herself out of these thoughts, I'll think about it tomorrow, im too tired for this now. She thought to herself and walked to her own bedroom. Tomorrow she'll have more time to research about that guy.

(I feel like this story might be bad but i need to get this storyline out of my system 😭. I hope that someone reading this will enjoy some of it)
