Today was a big day. A new beginning, for Morgan at least.

It was her first day of Kindergarten. Pepper was excited because Morgan could finally have something to do all day. And maybe, just maybe it would allow them to live a somewhat normal life again.

But then again, how normal could a traumatized and heartbroken widow and her lost, fatherless daughter's lives get? Not to mention, the awkward teenage boys who made stupid jokes to try and hide the how devastated and distraught he was. Their whole lives had now become an endless game of charades. It was all an act. Peter and Pepper, both broken, along with the rest of the country and the world.

Tony Stark's death was unsettling news for many fans around the world but Peter and Pepper were some of the few people who knew him closely. For them, their lives consisted of acting happy, smiling, and nodding; it was like their mask. Sort of like Tony's Iron Man mask. When he had still been a player, he would put his suit and mask on and his billionaire playboy philanthropist life no longer mattered. He was just....Iron man.
For Pepper and Peter, when they put their masks on they became mother, friend, nephew, a hero, a survivor.....no longer broken souls.

Now was their chance to go back and try to live a normal life again. Peter back in school, Morgan starting school and Pepper finding a job that didn't remind her of Tony.

Morgan grabbed her backpack and pushed open her door. Pepper got out of the driver's seat and walked over to a very pouty five year old.

"Morgan, what's wrong?"

The little girl shrugged and grabbed her  Mom's hand. "I don't want to go..."

Pepper sighed and checked her watch; she had five minutes to get Morgan to class. She quickly bent down to get to face level with her daughter.

"Why Morgan? You'll get to make new friends." Pepper stroked her little girl's hair as she tried to figure out how to console her.

"I don't know. I just don't want to." Morgan spoke quietly but she wasn't looking at Pepper.

Her mother followed her gaze and it led to two people. A father and his daughter, about the same age as Morgan making their way out of their car. The little girl jumped into her father's arms and giggled childishly as he carried her towards the school.

Pepper sighed again and bit her lip. "Morgan..." she didn't know what to say or do as her daughter stood before her with shaky arms and an emotion unknown to her naive little mind as jealousy.  "What about, if you go today we'll stop and get a cheeseburger with Peter after school."

Morgan's eyes lit up and and she smiled; a small yet significant smile. "You promise?"

Pepper laughed and nodded. "I promise.

Morgan held her mother's hand again and they made their way to the school entrance.

They sat in a booth at about sunset that afternoon. Peter next to Morgan and Pepper seated across from them.

Morgan bounced impatiently in her seat as they waited for their food.
"Peter?" She suddenly sat still and turned to face him.

"Yeah, munchkin?"

"How come my daddy never talked about you to me? And why did you come here after my daddy had to go?" Her innocent little eyes were wide with interest as she waited patiently for an answer.

Peter glances at Pepper quickly but she just shrugged?

"I don't know why your daddy didn't talk about me. And I came here after your daddy left so I could help you out munchkin." Peter knew he was not telling her the full truth but if he told her that he had had to go to and then Morgan's found a way to bring him back, then she would think he could bring back her dad. And Peter would rather tell her a part truth and spare her the disappointment than to tell her something she'd misinterpret and give her false hope.

"Peter where's you daddy?"

Peter's face nose scrunched up as he frowned, thinking back to what his uncle had told him about his parents. "My dad had to go away too Morgan. And my mom."

Morgan toyed with a napkin in her hands quietly. "So who did you live with then? You have to have mommy or a daddy."

"Well you know Aunt May? She used to be married with my uncle and they sort of became like my parents." Peter tried explaining it as harmlessly as he could but to a five year old, was pretty confusing.

"Where's your uncle? I've only seen Aunt May."

"Morgan..." Pepper interrupted.

Peter smiled grimly and shook his head. "It's fine."

He didn't want to scare the girl by telling her his uncle had gone too. She was too young to be told all this yet she kept asking questions. Questions that poked sticks at Peter's past and made him have to think of all the people he had lost. First his mom and dad, then his uncle who had become his father figure. The universe had snatched him up and gave him Tony. But that didn't last long either. Just when he and Tony had become close, just when he had finally gotten his hug, the universe plucked him away too.

"Peter?" Morgan looked up at him to find him squinting and trying to fight the tears welling up in his eyes.
She scooted closer to him and crawled into his lap, embracing him in a tight hug.

To her, she was just hugging him because he looked sad, but to Peter, this was just another hint that they were getting too close. He didn't want to get attached to her but here she was; the sibling he never had but always wanted. Each time he told her a story or made her laugh, he tried to tell himself to stop, because he knew the moment he got attached she would be taken from him too. And it wouldn't be the first Stark he had grown fond of only for them to be stolen from him.
