Sitting on the cliffs edge my feet hitting the side of the rocks, it's has a calming effect being up here quite, leaning back on my book bag looking up at the sky. It's been a weird 6months since dad reviled to the world that he was iron man, and somehow I've been pulled into this as his sidekick, my powers has always been the public eye since I first came to live with my dad, I mean it's not normal for an 5years old to cry and freeze half of a banquet hall, but than again the hair and the eyes aren't that normal either.

Sitting up I see the house from far up here, I found this place after the first fight me and dad ever had when I was 8, the cliff looked a lot bigger back than

The smell of the sea has always had a calming effect on me, looking up at the bright blue sky, I let my mind wonder as it so often does, I think about life, Love, family, friends even my mom my minds been on her a lot lately I guess since it's my last year of being a teenager, I'll be 20 next year and it's been weird being a little girl with an absent billionaire father, who constantly had woman back and forth in the house, a woman he acted like my mother who came to all my boarding school functions, she'd be there when the school closed down for winter and summer break to ride back on the plane with me, a man who treated me like a daughter who taught me how to ride a bike, when my father was "too busy" as he used to say, to my own father who only liked me sometimes when I was child, but now he's the person I spend the most time with, I'm his proajay as the media says, but I know he's just trying to make up for lost time with me, I wonder if he never left mom would she still be alive, would my life completely different, well not too different since I'm a magical teenager with white hair and purple eyes.

Sighing "My life would be to different, I would still be stark After All" I say out loud to the sky, closing my eyes as I bask in the sunlight, I start to drift off into a light sleep, When I hear a whisper in my ear in a language I don't know, it gets louder and louder until it's screaming in my ear, sitting up the sky is dark and the water is know where to be seen Just dry land, A hand touches my shoulder in a tight grip.

Sitting up the sun bright in my eyes as I look around at my surroundings, the same bright blue sky, with the burning yellow sun, puffy clouds, blue sea, with crashing waves holding my head I'm drenched in sweat, my breaths are deep and quick.

"What the hell was that?" I ask myself as I stand up once I've managed to slow down my breathing, grabbing my bag taking one more look at the view before me "It was just a nightmare" I whisper to myself, i should be used to them by now I've been having them for a couple of months now. Making my journey back to the house, I take another look back to make sure my eyes are playing a trick on me, once I confirmed the this is real I continue my walk

"But it felt so real"
