"No way... no way look at you! what a beauty!" Uncle Rhodey opens his arms and I giggle walking to hug him

"You're a beauty too, Uncle Rhodey" I whisper and feel his chest vibrating with a laugh

"Thanks, T... people are still adjusting to seeing these things" he points to the leg braces and I only nod

"Well, you could start a trend," I say and his loud laugh rumbles in the living room

"Yeah, yeah... come here and tell me what you've been up to" He walks circling my shoulders as I notice that he already manages to control the braces and walks like a normal person 

"Dad told you 'bout MIT?" 

"uhum... congrats for that by the way... oh please tell me your dad told you about that thing that sororities offer you uh... that thing called uh..."

"A cup of equational vision?" I snort and he nods "Nope... I'm still confused at what is that thing"

"Trust me, you're dad drunk that once and... no, no... bad times" we join in laughter as we reach to my dad's lab 

I open the doors and the loud music booms to where we are standing

"This better be an emergency T!" my dad yells at the back of his lab and I kick the door for Uncle Rhodey to step in

"I consider myself a priority, yes" Rhodey adds covering his ears for the booming song

"Oh! My Rhodey!... wait..." he lowers the music and steps to embrace his best friend

"Tony Stank..." he mocks and I lean against the door scrolling through my phone

"Shut up sourpatch"

"Sorry for interrupting your lovely moment but uh, I'm going, text you when I get there" I lock my phone and both frown at me

"Where are you going?" Uncle Rhodey tilts his head at me

"With her boyfriend... for some reason, she's very independent now" my dad mutters and Rhodey opens his mouth in an 'o'

"Oh yes, you're dating that Spider boy... he's nice to you?"

"Always, yes" I chuckle at the worried face plastered on Rhodey

"Isn't he ...you know... venomous?"

I pinch my lips holding a pretty loud laugh and shake my head "mmmm... I don't think so, no"

"Good, tell him War Machine says 'hi' " I snort and nod, spinning around to walk away

"Hey!" my dad calls and I spin again to look at him 

"Yeah?"

He walks closer to me and tilts my head to the side "What's that? a bruise?" I follow his finger... oh no... fuck, fuck, fuck

"I uh, yesterday I was trying to straighten my hair and uh... I burnt myself with the flat iron... humiliating... I know" I move away and notice how he nods oblivious of my lie

"Okay... be careful then... say hi to Peter" he shoos me away and I stride outside the compound

Curious thing. It's until my dad notices the hickey that it begins to sting a little. With the camera of my phone, I gasp at the very purple, red, and somewhat green mark. I clear my throat and begin to levitate. I launch myself to the sunny sky and feel the wind shuffling my hair and clothes. This time I fly higher so people can't notice me. Then I position myself on top of his building and strongly land on the roof. Same drill, walk to the fire escape until reaching the window marked with the red dot.
