Narrator's POV
"Hah..." Stephen sighed as he opened his eyes to sound of birds chirping outside his window. "What a wonderful-"
>HONK<
His expression of happiness quickly disappeared after hearing a car horn that set many other car horns off around the city of New York. "-morning." He sighed.
The cloak stood by his bed side as it always did.
Stephen lifted the covers off of him and sat on the edge of his bed. He stretched and ran his hand through his hair before yawning.
He put on his sliders and walked over to his closet, opening the doors. He pulled out a blue silk robe and put it around his body. He hummed as he walked around his room, looking for a towel and going into the bathroom.

"Hm."
-sniff- -sniff-
A woman gave weird looks at the person that was sniffing some sesame seeds.
It was Tony.
Tony noticed. "Oh, hey." He said. "Do you know if these are toasted? I'm making some tofu with a friend tonight, and it's seems that the label doesn't say if-"
The woman was gone.
"Okay." He said. He looked at the seeds. "Doesn't matter." He said and put them in his basket. He looked down at his list. "Okay, so now I need soy sauce and garlic." He said.
He continued throughout the store on his quest to find his ingredients.
"Jarvis, help me out bud." He said.
How may I assist you?
"I need you to see what isle the soy sauce is." He said.
That would be in the Asian Food Department
"What isle is that?" Tony asked.
That would be isle fourteen
"Alright, I'll get that as soon as I find the garlic." Tony said.
Sir, that would be over at the produce department
"Yup. Knew that." Tony said, turning around and putting away a Trix cereal box that he had in his hands.
Sir, if you'd like to take that last Trix cereal box, I recommend you do it now. An approaching customer is in the market for it
"Psh. Don't be childish Jarvis." Tony said. "I'm not a child. I prefer Raisin Bran over some colorful childhood cer-" Tony turned around to see a small child reaching for the last cereal box in the shelf.
The kid smiled at his mother and put it in the cart. He was full of joy and happiness.
"Wait, did you say the last one?" Tony asked.
Affirmative
"Blast." Tony said under his breath. "Jarvis, keep them in your sight. We're getting that cereal box back."
Sir, we could always ask the manger for another-
"No Jarvis." Tony said. "We're going to get that box. I had it first."

Eh-yeah, wonderful world, beautiful people
You and your girl, things could be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret
That nobody can reveal
Take a look at the world
And the state that it's in today
I am sure you'll agree
We all could make it a better way
With our love put together
Everybody learn to love each other
Instead of fussing and fighting
Cheating but biting
Scandalizing and hating
"Baby, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people
You and your girl things could be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret
That nobody can reveal, yeah now." Stephen softly sang along with his radio as he looked in the mirror of his bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He was combing his hair nicely.
It had been a lovely, relaxing shower. It was Saturday, he had today off and was planning on making this a good day.
After making sure his hair was nicely combed he walked out of the bathroom, looking for some clothes to put on.
Ah, nothing went better than a soft gray shirt and a comfortable black cardigan with some comfortable pants.
It was actually a wonderful day out, despite all the noise going on outside.
"Cloak." Stephen said.
The cloak came up to him, wrapping itself around Stephen, embracing him lovely.
Stephen laughed, softly. "Alright, bud." He smiled.
The cloak let him go and neatly folded itself into a small triangle.
Stephen put him in his shirt pocket.

"Alright. I have them in my sight." Tony whispered as he followed the woman around the grocery store.
She had stopped at the organic isle, looking at some honey.
Sir, we could always go to another store
"No Jarvis. This is the one. The only chance I'll ever get to rescue that box."
What about the Garlic, sir?
"Jarvis it's now or never." Tony said, walking toward the woman, grabbing a jar of honey. "Oh, here ma'am." He said, coming up her. "Let me recommend you this honey which completely identical." He said as he reached past her and grabbed the cereal box from her cart.
"Hey!" The kid in the cart called.
"Can it Squirt." Tony said.
"Mom, he took the cereal!" The kid shouted.
"Wha-" She turned to see Tony with the box. "Hey! That's mine!"
"Run Jarvis!" Tony said, running away from the lady.
Everyone in the isle turned to him.

"Coming." Stephen said as he made his way down the staircase of the Sanctum with his hands in his pockets.
He reached for the door and opened it. "Oh, hello Tony."
"Hi, Stephen." Tony said. He looked like a rushed mess.
"Are you, alright?" Stephen asked.
"Yes, I'm...hah..." Tony panted.
"Someone isn't chasing you are they?" Stephen asked, looking around, shields appearing at his hands.
"Hm?" Tony asked. "Oh, no, no." Tony said, laughing a little. "I got the stuff for the tofu." Tony said.
"Oh." Stephen let his guard down. He looked at the bags Tony had in his hands. "You know, you actually picked the right day." Stephen said.
"Did I now?"
"Yeah."
"Mind if I come in?" Tony asked.
"Not at all." Stephen said, stepping aside. "You're the master chef here."
"Thank you." Tony said, coming in. "Where would you like me to set all this?"
"The kitchen's this way." Stephen said. "Here, let me help you with that." Stephen took one of the bags from Tony's hands.
"Oh, thank you." Tony said, he followed Stephen into the kitchen.
