Life as a Stark is tricky. You are always busy with something and barely have time for yourself except on weekends. You have had a strict daily routine since you were five years old and your father makes sure that you do something from every category.

Your daily schedule looks something like this:
04:30 - Wake up; jog
05:00 - Shower and get ready for the day
06:00 - Breakfast
07:30 - Tutoring
10:00 - Snack break
12:00 - Lunch break
14:00 - Tutoring ends; martial arts        training
15:00 - Gym
16:00 - Shower and break
16:30 - Piano lessons
17:30 - Study session
19:00 - Dinner
20:00 - Get ready for bed; read
20:30 - Bedtime

Sometimes you enjoy having a tight schedule as it keeps you very busy, but sometimes you wish for more time for yourself. Not only do you have a tight schedule, you have a strictly balanced diet and everything you eat is tracked. When you were little, this was terrible, as you would look in shop windows and see displays of delicious candy, but you were never allowed any.

You are also homeschooled. Tony never lets you out of the tower alone. You are a complete secret from the world and if someone asks your name, you have to answer with Y/N Y/LN, not with Y/N Stark. When you were five years old, you once cried because you were so lonely and your father got you a siberian husky for your birthday. You called her Fluffy and you love her dearly.

Today is a different day though. It's moving day and you and your parents are moving from the tower to the new Avengers base. You feel a pang of sadness when you grab your backpack and look at the empty bedroom you have had for twelve years. Tony promised that your new bedroom would be even better than your old one, but he doesn't seem to understand why you are so sad to leave. You still remember every moment of your very first day living with Pepper and Tony and now you are leaving it all behind. "Oh, Y/N, don't cry, don't cry," you mutter to yourself as you feel tears welling up in your eyes. You rapidly blink and look at the room one last time before closing the door carefully. You take Fluffy's leash and you leave the tower.

Tony and Pepper are already waiting for you at the helicopter. Fluffy barks in excitement and tugs at the leash.
"Finally, Peanut, what took you so long?" Tony asks, slightly frustrated.
"Sorry, I was in the loo," you lie, still trying not to cry.
"Well, hop in! I still want to give you and Pepper a tour of the new base!" Tony says and you smile when you see him excited again.

The helicopter rises into the sky and just before you lose sight of New York, a flash of red and blue catches your eye.
