"Maya don't go in there!"

I walked slowly inside. I went to the living room which was wrecked.

"Friday send me a suit!" I whisper yelled.

"I'm not sure I can do that Ms. Stark, most of your suits are locked in the garage."

"Damn it Friday! Send me Mark 42 in stealth mode!"

"Yes, Ms. Stark."

I walked farther inside. I heard footsteps and swung around to see Rhodey coming in slowly in his War Machine suit. My suit came. Once it was on I kept walking. I saw a note on the floor. I picked it up. It was on a small ATM Business card. It read, "Don't give your suits to ATM, you will regret it." I sighed heavily.

"Friday, turn the lights on, unlock the garage, send Mark 42 back to the stand, and send dummy."

"Yes, Ms. Stark."

Rhodey looked at me. "I'll go make sure there's nobody here."

"Alright."

Pepper, Morgan, and Peter came in. Peter ran over and hugged me. I laid my head on his chest.

"Why would you do that Maya? You could have gotten hurt."

"But I didn't."

"But you could have."

I sighed.

"Don't scare me like that again."

"I won't."

Rhodey came back a few minutes later. "All clear."

"Good," I said.

"Do you know what they wanted?" Pepper asked.

"No." Rhodey said."

"Yes. Someone doesn't want me to agree to a business offer I got."

"So don't agree," Pepper said.

"You don't understand, they're gonna upgrade dad's suits. I have to keep you safe."

"What happens when they use one of your suits to come after us? Hmm? What happens then?" Pepper asked.

I looked at Morgan. I sighed and went to my room. I laid on my bed and watched TV. A few minutes later Morgan came in. She crawled up onto my bed. She looked at me.

"It could be reverse psychology."

"Alright kid how much did she pay you?"

"5 dollars."

"Only 5?"

Morgan nods. I grabbed my wallet and pulled out $20. I handed it to her.

"Thank you."

"Mhm."

"Can we watch a movie?"

"I just gave you 20 bucks and now you wanna watch a movie?"

"Please."

"Fine, but it depends on which movie."

"Sherlock Holmes?"

"Sure."

"Let's go," I added.

"Where?"

"The living room, the TV is huge in there."

"Wait!"

"What's up?"

"Can Peter watch it with us?"

"I don't know, Spider-Boy can you watch Sherlock with us?"

Peter comes down from the ceiling in his suit holding onto a web.

"Hells yeah. I love that movie."

Morgan smiled. "Thanks, Spider-Boy."

"No problem."

We all went to the living room which was spotless. Dummy was stationed beside the couch with a broom.

"Thanks, Dummy."

There was a series of small creaks from the robot.

"Now get me some popcorn."

It beeped.

"Don't talk back to me Dummy, do you need the dunce cap?"

It beeped again.

"That's what I thought."

The robot rolled away beeping angrily. Peter and Morgan laughed hysterically. I turned on Sherlock Holmes. I stretched out on the couch. I laid my head on Peter's legs and Morgan snuggled up under my arms. Dummy brought the popcorn.

"Thanks, Dummy," I whispered.

It beeped quietly.

"Thank you, that's very kind of you."

It beeped again and rolled down to the garage.

(Timeskip)

After the movie, Peter woke me up gently. Morgan and I had fallen asleep during the movie.

"Hey, Maya... wake up love."

I opened my eyes. He smiled. I stood up with Morgan in my arms. I took her to her room. Peter tucked her in.

"Night Morgan." He whispered.

"Night Spider-Boy." She whispered half asleep.

Peter and I walked back to my room. I went to my bed and laid down. He stood in the doorway.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, but I'm not going to just come in uninvited. This isn't my room."

"You're my fiance, you're always invited."

"Good to know."

He comes over and lays next to me. I smiled and turned off the lamp. He wrapped his arms around me and smiled.

"Night love."

I blushed.

"Night Peter."

I closed my eyes and I fell asleep.
