 I woke up bright and early the next morning with the sketchpad in my lap I must have fallen asleep while looking through it I quickly got up and went into the kitchen with the bag of groceries I got from my little shopping trip yesterday that was some of the other things I got.

I pulled out some bread, butter some eggs and a bottle of orange juice I've never been one for milk I looked through the cupboards and found a pan a plate and a mug I was funny because you'd think the appliances would be easier back then to figure out then they are in 2017, nope now I understand why Bucky and my dad have no idea how to work anything in the future they only know how to work antique stuff.

I finally got the stove to work I put the eggs on and went over to the suitcase I had and pulled out my phone I turned on my music and on came some Elvis specifically Jailhouse Rock I turned it all the way up and the floors were the perfect kind to Tom Cruise on put on a pair of clean socks and put on the boxer shorts I had and un-tucked my peach button-up shirt it was perfect the only thing I needed was some sunglasses, I guess my potter glasses will have to work I thought to myself and then what happened next was the coolest thing my phone had ever done it changed to old time rock and roll it came on right on the dot it was the best Tom Cruise impression I had ever done I even outdid my dad at it and surprisingly that's saying a lot especially for a guy that has barely any clue what anything is in the 20th century.

the song ended and I ate my breakfast I got changed into a grey button-up basically the same shirt as yesterday but a light grey color I was also wearing a black dress pants that showed off my curves perfectly along with the glasses and some flats I pulled my hair up into a nice tight bun grabbed my bag and everything I had brought I shut the door and locked it I was about to put the key back under the brick but I took another good look at it and thought hmmm... I think I might just keep it as a keepsake.

the sun was starting to come up over the horizon people were leaving their homes to go to their day jobs like they did the day before and will keep doing in years to come. I finally hailed a taxi and it brought me to Starks house and I was quickly let in by Mr. Jarvis.

"Just wait here Miss Presley," Jarvis said in a low voice and walked off.

he soon left me in the living room he was quite quiet I wonder if Howard is even awake yet either that or Howard had a "late night".

Mr. Jarvis soon came back down the stairs with a very tired Mr stark trailing ways behind he was dressed but he looked very exhausted I quickly caught his eye I think I startled him because he jumped.

good morning Miss Presley, he said in a trying to be awake voice he was really forcing it

Good morning Mr. Stark and please call me Athena it might get stale calling me Miss Presley all the time since we are going to be working with each other for a while.

"he just nodded and said are you sure you wanna do this? I mean once you're in the only way out is death or the war miraculously coming to an end"  

"given my circumstances, I don't think I have a choice."

that's right we will discuss those circumstances later at the base when we get the chance.

I nodded he said he would be right back he was going to go get changed and grab the last bit of equipment and we would be on our way to Jersey.
