Peter, Harley, Morgan, Cassie, Lila, Cooper and Nathaniel were woken up at 6.30am by FRIDAY to get ready for school, begrudgingly they got dressed and made their way up or down to where they have breakfast-Peter, Harley and Morgan went to the penthouse kitchen, while the others went to the communal floor kitchen. Cassie, Cooper, Nathaniel and Lila all went to schools in Manhattan to be close to the Tower, whereas Peter and Harley were already enrolled in Queens, so Pepper decided to keep Morgan close to the twins.
The trio went downstairs to find Tony, Pepper, Nat and Alex already awake and sitting at a table.
"Alex what're you doing up at this ungodly hour?" Harley asked slurring his words only half awake.
"I could ask you the same thing." She replied, sipping at her coffee.
"We have school," he informed, sitting at the counter while Peter made them toast and a coffee for Harley, "You don't."
"Do I need to have an excuse to wake up early?" Alex questioned.
"Yes." Harley replied coldly.
"I normally wake up at 7.00am, which is the time now, you'll be late." Alex said snarkily.
It was Wednesday and it took around 30 minutes to get to school. Half an hour later everyone was finally ready to go, today Natasha was dropping the three off at school, normally Laura would drop of her kids, but she and Clint had to visit SHIELD HQ, so Happy was dropping them off.

Around lunch time, Alex called her parents into the living room to have a "chat".
"Mom, Dad, we need to talk." Alex said sternly. "I want to go to school, no fake name or cover, just me, at school."
"Of course, honey, but no one will believe you're a Stark unless-"
"We do a press conference and announce it!" Tony cut Pepper off. "If that's what you want, but there will be paparazzi everywhere, and we don't want anything happening to you."
"I want people to know who I am, I want to bear the Stark name proudly. I'll be fine. Please." Alex reassured them.
Pepper nodded and said, "If it's okay with you. We could have the whole family there too..." Pepper trailed off at the look on Alex's face, "Honey what's wrong?" she asked.
"Peter and Harley are interns, I feel like that'd be weird for them, they'd get asked a lot of questions. And the Avengers... Well I don't need the world to know that I know ALL the Avengers. As for Cassie, Lila, Cooper and Nathaniel, people don't know that they're Clint and Scott's kids, so they shouldn't be there either. But Morgan, she's my sister, so she should be there." Alex explained.
Pepper understood what Alex was saying, "Okay, okay. Well how 'bout having Natasha, and Clint there, they're great support should anything happen, and we could introduce you to Spider-Man and Agent Keener from SHIELD, they're around your age after all." She suggested.
"Really?! That would be so cool!" Alex awed, "Thank you!"
Tony was smiling, "No problemo kid, just please NEVER ask them to reveal their identities. They are the only ones that you don't know and they're still teenagers, so we don't need to give them trouble, they have their own family. Okay?"
"Yes, I understand." Alex confirmed.
"You will start school on Monday at Midtown School of Science & Technology, that's where the boys go. We'll have the conference tonight, so I better go and tell everyone." Pepper informed.
Alex looked like she was going to explode with excitement, "Thank you guys so much!"
