Here's to my planning skills and the lack of them. This chapter was supposed to be out at Christmas. So I guess... Early happy Christmas?





"Dad!" I exclaim happily when I wake up. "Dad wake up!"

He slowly opens his eyes while I keep shaking him so he wakes up.

"I'm here Small. Slow down." He mumbles into his pillow.

"Dad I can't really walk on my own but I'll try if you don't help me.." I smile while I try to escape from the mess of blankets.

"Don't Squirt I'm coming..." he mumbles while pushing himself up from the bed.

"I got ya!" He says happily. He pulls me from the bed and caries me from the room. I get in the wheelchair and dad pushes me through the tower while I bounce up and down impatiently. When I get into the main area. There's the Christmas tree. It's loaded with presents around it. I quickly turn around in the chair to look at dad.

"What happened here?"

"Santa" Dad states dryly. I turn back to look at everything that's spread around over the floor.

"Santa's probably even more richer than you are dad!"

"Must be." Dad smiles. "What about we pick one first to open and we'll open the rest after breakfast"

I look up at him confused.

"All of That's for us?!"

Dad nods while he helps me over to the tree. Uncle Bruce is around as well.

"Merry Christmas guys!" He says happily. "Nova?" He asks, crouching down in front of the wheelchair. "Have you seen how many presents are here? That's ridiculous right?"

"Yeah. It's amazing!"

"I have breakfast in the kitchen. I'll go get it." He says walking away.

"Let's pick one shall we my lady?" Dad asks. He helps me around and we pick one. I unwrap the box wrapped in red paper.

I open the box and it looks like one of the stark tables. But like waaaay more advanced.

"I think that's... no it can't be...." Dad mumbles.

"What dad?" I laugh. "What do you mean?"

"Well it looks an awful lot like this new tablet I've been working on. It's extremely cool. But it's also not out yet. So I guess we'll have to test it right away." Dad says.

He helps me start it and it has all kinds of holograms. I can even play holographic games! I look up at dad smiling excited.

"I guess it is actually..." dad says dryly.

"But how did Santa get it?" I asks confused. "If you didn't even bring it out yet? That's kind of weird right?"

"Yeah." Dad mumbles deep in thought. "Santa really can do anything. Can't he Bruce?"

I turn around and see uncle Bruce coming in. He just nods a little while mumbling to Jarvis. After about a second Christmas music starts to play softly.

I scare a bit for a second. "Jarvis! Merry Christmas!"

I hear dad and Bruce chuckle a bit while Jarvis goes , "thank you, Nova. Same to you."

"Lets eat shall we?" Dad asks. We get to the table and there's a lot of food. Like a lot!

"Is Steve here?" I ask them.

"I don't think so. Haven't seen him yet. I guess he's still on his run." Bruce says. He takes his phone out and types some thing on it.

"He should be right back. He's almost at the tower."
