Happy walks down the long hallway; clipboard in hand, humming a quiet tune. It was the last day of training and Delaney has done an extraordinary job. His fine, leather shoes tap on the hard tile floor. He finally makes his way to the training room and fixes his tie before opening the door.
Happy sees the girl, wearing the suit Tony made for her, running obstacles and using her powers to fight off "criminals." She dodged and hit as they came towards her. A few moments later, the timer goes off signaling her training was over for the day. She walks over to the chair and wraps a towel around her neck. Breathing heavy, she meets eyes with Happy. A smile spreads on her face seeing her favorite Stark staff member. "You're not quite done yet. The training you have left... you still have your first day at a new school." Delaney gets up and slaps his shoulder. "Funny. I'll see you tomorrow Happs." But after she left the room and into the hallway, her smile faded, her shoulders dropped, and her feet dragged along the tile flooring. If she was honest, she dreaded going to another school. Especially since this is her first time not at a private school. And it was already a month into the semester.
Delaney makes her way to her bedroom.

She checks her watch to see it was almost 5 o'clock. It was time. "WEDNESDAY, organize my suit and mask." The hologram from Delaney's watch obeys her command and reveals her suit and mask in a case waiting for her. She locks the door behind her and gets ready.
For what you might ask?
She's ready to go out and fight crime.
Sneaking out of the house is surprisingly easy. Shes been doing this for about three weeks now and has a pretty good hang at it. She left the mansion using the back doors and used her skateboard to make her way into the heart of the city. Her short hair blew in the wind as she passed by many buildings and landscapes. It was a beautiful autumn evening.

(It looks bad sorry. Also imagine it looks WAYYYY better; Tony made her suit.)
To her relief, the night was not full of danger or crime. So she decides to walk around the town. When she was fixing her mask, she bumps into someone. She drops her skateboard and apologizes to a boy with a Star Wars shirt and a box in his hands. "I'm sorry. Oh my goodness, are you Sorceress?" Her eyes show her shock. "I didn't know people knew who I was." The boy nods fast and says "Yeah you're awesome!" "Well... thank you."
She notices the box more now and her lips form a smile. "What LEGO set is that?" The boy's eyes light up and he explains he is on his way to his friends house to make it. "That's really cool, Ned," she says after learning his name. He checks his phone, realizing he should he going soon and asks to take a picture with Sorceress which she happily obliges. As he walks off , she decides to go back home and get ready for school tomorrow.
Skipping inside the mansion, she comes across Tony, seems to be making his way to his office. He stops and looks at Delaney. "So where'd you sneak off to?" She stops and looks at him in the eyes, telling him the truth. "I was patrolling the town and such." There's a pause and then Tony's stiff face softens. A small smile is shown as Tony says "Alright, but be sure when you do go out to come back home at curfew. Now go get ready. School is in 11 hours!" He pats her shoulder and she puts her skateboard down. She begins to ride it until she reaches her room.
Delaney finishes her shower and washes her face. She then preps her clothes for the morning and makes sure she has all her school supplies.
Delaney goes to her "superhero journal" and records what she did today as Sorceress. Delaney pushes up her glasses and looks at her ceiling before getting up and grabbing a glass of water. She passes by Tony's office and notices how tired he looks. She gives him a smile of sympathy and quietly says goodnight.
She sits back in her bed, looking at her fairy lights, and takes off her glasses. Humming a tune, Delaney closes her eyes and soon falls asleep.
