THE STARK FAMILY || a marvel fanfic

Adoption 1 || NEBULA

I woke up and realized that I fell asleep on my chair last night. It doesn't really matter though. 3 seconds after I woke up, Pepper walked in. She came to me, kissed my forehead and said "Time to dress up, old man"

She helped me took a bath and dress up then pushed me (my wheelchair) to the dining room to eat breakfast. I saw Thor, Cap, and Nebula already ready for the food. So I joined them and sat on the chair beside Nebula. She seems more quiet than she usually is, or maybe that's just me.

"Nebula, would you like your pancake with or without syrup?" Pepper asked clearly unused to Nebula yet.

"No thank you Mrs. Iron" She said with no expression painted on her face. Me and the other two men in that room just stared at her for a while before going back to what we were doing before, nothing.

"Call me Pepper, honey" Pep said with a smile and Nebula nodded.

"Daddy!" I heard someone shouted. I don't need to see who it is to know that it's my daughter, Morgan. She ran through the halls toward me and jumped on me.

"How are you little iron kid?" I asked her happily. I love her so much, I will never let anything or anyone hurt her. I can't even imagine how it'll feel like when I have to let her go for her first date.

"Good!" She replied with a wide innocent smile "Mommy! What are you cooking?" She asked and jumped off me then ran to hug her mom.

"Pancakes. I know they're your favorites" Pepper answered.

Then, one-by-one the other Avengers came to the dining room to join breakfast. First came Rhodey, then Natasha, followed by Clint, then Bruce, Wanda, and lastly Peter. Yes, Peter have been living here for a couple of weeks. His Aunt found a job and now need to go somewhere for this job.

"Done!" Morgan shouted once she finished he pancake. I asked her to go take a bath and get ready for, well... the day. And she did as I say. She ran to her room followed by her mom who helped her with taking baths and dressing up (just like me).

"So how's your leg Tony?" Steve asked.

I shrugged and answered calmly "Meh, it's fine I guess. At least I can walk, right?" and he didn't say anything after that. My eyes fell on Nebula once more, she is more... blue than she always been. And lemme tell you, she's really blue.

I decided to ask her what's going on "Hey, blue!" I called her with one of the nicknames I made. She looks toward me with a 'what' look on her face "Why are you like extra blue today?"

"I don't understand you joke iron guy" She replied flatly. I sighed

"Just answer the question, Nebula" I said

"Well I never say this before but," She said but paused because she realized that everyone's eyes are on her. But she decided that it's fine that way "I actually miss my sister more that I thought I would. And maybe my father, he was nice when me and Gamora was younger"

"So you miss your family?" I asked even though I already know the answer

She nodded

"Oh-" I wanted to say something but didn't because I was attacked by my little iron girl "Oh hi Morgan"

"Hi Daddy. I'm clean now and I smell nice" She said. I smiled and I swear I saw Nebula smiling too. I wish I can do something for her, I know what it's like to miss someone you don't think you'll miss. Then the greatest idea popped into my mind. I can adopt her. Well with Pepper's permission of course.

I put Morgan down and stood up to go to Morgan's room to talk to Pepper. I opened the door and went in. I saw Pepper drying herself in front of the bathroom door "Hi" I said and she looked at me.
