I awake the next morning to the smell of eggs and bacon; and open my eyes to see that I was lying in my own bed. I blink a few times to see if I was imagining things but the scene stayed the same. "Happy Birthday Sunshine," I hear my father say and I turn to see him carrying a tray of food into my room and I smile.

"Thank you, but since when do you bring people breakfast in bed?" I ask curiously.

"Only when I'm asking forgiveness." He says as he sits down the corner of the bed. I look at the bacon steaming off the plate and I feel myself start to drool.

"If you give me that bacon you're forgiven for anything." I say as I sit up.

"Then by all means," He smirks as he hands the tray over to me. I gratefully take it from him and start to eat as he continues, "So Steve clued me into your recent..." He pauses to furrow his brow before clearing his throat and saying, "Adventures..."

"Hnn?" I say with a mouthful of bacon.

"It seems you helped out a lot back then kiddo. Although I am surprised I never saw you."

"Different battlefields probably," I reply as I grab my fork and start cutting my eggs.

"Jen," He says making me stop in my tracks and look up at him.

"Yeah?"

"For whatever its worth, I am proud of you."

"Even though I could have royally fucked up the future?"

"Yeah well shit happens." He says chuckling and I join him. "Steve also told me about Barnes. Well what he could. I could see there's more to the story but he wouldn't elaborate."

"Good, if he did you might have killed him." I smile as I force a forkful of eggs into my mouth.

"Huh?" He asks not having caught my last words.

"Nothing," I say setting the plate back on the tray and lean against my headboard. "So what's the plan for today?"

"Tony has something planned for tonight; but until I know what Magneto wants I want you to stay in the tower, okay?" He says his tone more of an order than a question.

"Sure thing old man." I reply as I stretch my arms over my head. As he goes to walk away I grab his arm and say, "Thanks again, Dad; for everything." He smiles as he pats my hand before grabbing the plate and turning disappearing down the hall. I let out a heavy sigh as I reach up and scratch my head.

What the hell am I gonna do cooped up in the tower all day?

Climbing out of bed I mosey over to my bathroom and grab a quick shower before putting on an ACDC T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I slip my flips flops on and ruffling my hair walk out of my room and head toward the elevator. Climbing inside I lean against the back of it and say, "Tony's floor please."

"Right away Miss." FRIDAY replies and I smirk as the birthday song plays out through the elevator speakers.

"FRIDAY, is this your way of wishing me a happy birthday?"

"It is,"

"Well thank you FRIDAY, that's very kind of you." I reply as the elevator doors open to the sound of people arguing over what type of music was appropriate for my party.

"Well clearly you just don't understand Jen's love for classic rock."

That's Tony.

"I agree she does like it but she's not going to be the only one here."

And there's Steve.
