Never forget the feeling

Chapter One

White walls of the room made the double bed against them look very out of place with its beautifully patented purple covers. The bright sunlight coming through the now opened curtains had hues of purple reflecting off the sequins and rhinestones accenting the designs over the covers on the bed. Although scattered carelessly over the walls and ceiling, it was quite a thing to wake up to. The lump in the middle of the bed moans in protest to the invading light and does not take kindly to the pretty purple covers being ripped away all too eagerly by one Tony Stark.

The lump refuses to accept the early seven AM start to the day. Once the curtains have revealed the true nature of the state of the bedroom, Tony sighs at his lump of a daughter on the bed, curled up tightly, groaning. The teenager refusing to rise means that Tony had to resort to more drastic measures of rousing his flesh and blood.

'Kassie Elise Stark, get your lazy bum out of bed! We have a big day ahead of us!' Tony flops down on the bed as he shouts to the teen. With the messy brunette unwound from her own clutches, the billionaire smiled at his daughter's menacing glare.

'Five more minutes, dad! Please, I had a late night.' The young girl covers her head with a pillow trying to avoid her father's obnoxious smile.

'And whose fault is that hmm?' Tony taunts, 'come on, we've got stuff to do!' He bounces on the bed in another attempt to rouse the teen.

Kassie finally lifts her head from under the pillow to glare at her father once more, this time it's accompanied by a dramatic eye roll. Pushing herself up off the bed, Kassie trudges to her en-suite and cleans up. Emerging not long later, Kassie was in her usual jeans and a nerdy t-shirt. Today's t-shirt had a picture of Einstein poking his tongue out. Kassie made the same gesture while passing her father at the breakfast bar.

Tony smiles at his daughter's grumpy attitude with a cat ate the canary kind of grin as he pushes her a cup of hot chocolate over the black marble countertop. Kassie's perfectly messy mouse brown hair surrounds her sour face as she took the cup. The short teenager hops up on to one of three barstools slouching as she drinks her warm drink. After the initial sip, the Stark girl's bright blue eyes light up, finally having the appropriate wake-up call for seven AM.

With another long sip, the girl peers into her Adventure Time mug, 'So, what's on today's agenda Iron dad?' Tony's eyebrows slide past the brim of his own mug as he downs the last of his impossibly strong coffee.

'Well, mouse, today is the Spider-Boy's initiation.' Tony replies as he rinses out his cup, wiping it out with a hand towel as he turns back to his daughter, a sly smile plays across his lip as he watches Kassie try to hide her excitement.

'So I'll actually get to meet him today?' Kassie says as unemotionally as possible, not letting her father see her excitement.

'Yes. You can fan-girl over him face-to-face.' Tony teases with a blank face. Watching his daughter blush redder than a ripe tomato really does make him smile.

'I will not fan girl over him, Dad!' Kassie frowns at him as she tries to hide her face with her cup. Tony grins with a nod as he ruffles her hair, leaving her to finish her morning beverage in peace so he can make sure everything downstairs is in order for this afternoon.

After the whole Sakovia Accords fiasco, and the Civil War mess, the compound was, for some time, uncharacteristically quiet, Kassie could mosey around in her pyjamas and no one was around to tell her otherwise, but now with the entire gang back, plus a few more, filling every nook and cranny of the compound with noise, it is a welcomed change, it was beginning to get a bit boring with just Tony, Vision and Rhodey.
