54) Uncomfortable
Oakley was in Peter's room. She sat on the bed and looked out over the dark lake. "That was my father...?", she asked herself, "Is he really a good person? Was that- Will he stop, when he knows me?" So many questions and no answers...
It knocked.
"Come in." Morgan opened the door and said: "Hi Oakley." "Hey Morgan. What's up?" "I'm bored..." Oakley chuckled and pointed on the bed. Morgan sat to her and they were silent
"Can I ask you something?", wanted Oakley to know. "Sure." "How did you know about Asgard and all?" "Oh... eh... You know Thor, right?" "Of course! He's our king! How could I not know him?!" "I don't know.. Just to be sure... Well. He fought with the Avengers a few times already and because dad is one of them, they met and... Thor told his live story." "Okay... Do you have super powers?" Morgan laughed: "I wish a had. No. I don't. But till the thing in the plane happened , I had my own suit." "What a suit?" "It's made out of metal and it has cool blasters. When I get a new one, I can show it to you, if you want." "That'd be cool.
Eh... I actually wanted to ask something else...
Do you really think he'll stop being that monster, when he knows me?" "I don't know. But you heard our talk. I think he's so upset about leaving you and that he couldn't see you growing up, that he'll think about some things and start a bit new. That's the hope I have..." Oaklet nodded slowly and asked: "Was that normal? This attack? Had he done something before?" "Normally he attacks on the ground. I think he's found some more skills he has and uses them now."
- At the apartment of Dr. Bryat -
He growled a bit, when he looked out of the window. The lights of the city illuminated everything. He turned around and sat on the couch. "Why did I do that? Why?", he asked with the deep voice.
The Frick grabbed the box with the pills and took some. But since the last turn, they had no effect. However he was still hoping, he could turn back and just go back to Asgard, life a normal and see his wife and daughter once again. Just for a few minutes. He wouldn't even know them, because he wasn't there for years. What his daughter grew up to?
The Frick punished the table and sat depressed down on the ground.
"Will I ever see Oakley again?", he asked, "And Lyra?"
- At Stark's -
"Morgan!", called Pepper from downstairs. Morgan stood up and said good night to Oakley. She ran to her mother. "Good night. You should be sleeping by now. "Mommy. Oakley is scared that it won't work. Come on." "You can talk to her tomorrow, okay? Now go to bed." Morgan sighed and went up the stairs.
- In the Morning -
Pepper and Tony were downstairs, when Morgan came for breakfast. It was a Monday. She grabbed a sandwich and sat to her parents. Quietly ate Morgan. "What's up?", asked Tony and smiled at his daughter. Without looking of him she said: "I miss Peter." "It's just one night, you're been without him", meant Pepper, "You can't hang on him that much. He already 18." Tony put a hand on Morgan's and said. " You know what? He's coming tomorrow afternoon." Morgan looked up and smiled.
The rest of the day after school, passed Morgan in her room. She looked at the wall and imagined, how she'd swing with Peter in the city. Oakley was in New York and looked at the city.
Tony was at the garage. Morgan went to him. "I'm working on your new suit. Wanna help?" Morgan nodded and they worked together on the suit.
Pepper was with Oakley and showed her everything she should've seen.
For dinner the two ladies brought food.
Cheeseburgers!
- Next day afternoon -
Pepper opened the door and Morgan ran to her. Peter was next to his mom and was hugged so fast, that Peter was a bit surprised.
"Morgan." "Peter!" He chuckled and sat Morgan on the ground. "I missed you, too." She smiled.
Peter went to put his things in his room.
He opened the door and paused for a second. Oakley stood in front of him, without wearing a shirt! She was almost naked. Embarrassed, Peter turned around and closed the door. He walked straight to Morgan and asked, confused: "What's Oakley doing in my room?" "Oh... Ehm. She's staying with us for a while, and 'cause mom thought she shouldn't sleep on the couch she got your room..." "Wh- Why?" "I don't know... Dad was against it." "Yeah! I bet he was!" "I go and speak to mom, okay?" "Thanks!"
Morgan left and Peter sat on her bed.
His gaze wandered across the room and stopped at the chest of drawers. He walked to it and opened a box. His suits were in there! "Oh my God, Morgan!", he said happily and smiled.
"Yeah. I thought it would be better if I had them and that they aren't in your room, where Oakley could find them..." Morgan came to him and said: "Mom says, you should stay in my room." "Really? Uhrg!", he meant and rolled the eyes. "Hey! At first she wanted, that you sleep on the couch! What would be better, huh?" "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Morgan smiled.
At dinner it felt odd for Peter and Oakley to sit across from each other. Peoper, Tony and Morgan talked, while the other two were completely silent and stared on their dinner. "Peter. The pork is already dead. You don't need to kill it with your look", meant Pepper. He looked up and smiled.
Peter really felt uncomfortable with Dr. Bryat's daughter in front of him, when he saw her almost naked.
Peter went upstairs, after dinner. Morgan and he played together.
Tony came in and said: "Pete? Can I talk to you for a second?" "Sure." "Morgan. Can- Can you leave us, please?" She nodded and went downstairs.
"So... What's up, Peter? You were so silent at dinner. What's with you and Oakley?" "Wha- The fact, that she got my room?!" "I know. I don't like it either. But-..."
"What, dad? Say it." "Did you- Did you...?" "No! Mr. Stark! No!" Tony sighed relieved and meant: "I didn't thought so but you..." "God! No!"
Tony patched on his shoulder and left. Morgan came upstairs and they played again. She asked, what they talked about, but Peter acted like she didn't heard him.
Morgan went to bed earlier than Peter. He was downstairs with bis adoptive parents. They watched Game of Thrones. There was a scene, where two people slept with each other
Pepper put a pillow over Peter's face. Tony jumped almost over him and const his cast "Guys! I'm 18!" Peter called, "Almost 19!"
When the scene was one, the adults finally put the things away from his face. "What the I'm 18! When you really think that I haven't seen that you're really on the wrong path!" They ate the chips and were silent and
When Peter went to bed, Morgan was asleep. He lay to her and thought about MJ. He smiled and fell asleep.
