"Toby keep your arms us higher." Natasha told me for the millionth time that day.
I'm Tobiean or Toby for short. I'm 16 years old with raven black hair, emerald green eyes, tan skin from the hours training outside. I've been raised at the Avengers compound. Natasha, Clint, and Steve teach me hand to hand combat along with weapons. Tony teaches me computers, Bruce teaches me math and science which I am a college level. Reading I do on my own. Pepper and Laura teach me house skills and finance. 

If you can't tell I'm home schooled. I was in public school for 7 years 1st- 7th then I stopped. Each year it was the same thing "Now write a letter to your mommy and daddy telling them have a merry Christmas." 

None of my teachers believed me when I said I had seven dads and four moms, and six siblings. The funny part is when 14 people came in for teacher conferences in 1st grade through 3rd grade then Jackson came. Tony and Pepper got married when I was 5 and had jackson when I was 8. 4th grade is when Bruce and Natasha got married 7th grade my last year at public school Amanda was adopted, and only one month ago Karter came. Before I was born Clint and Laura had Cooper and Lila then a year after me, Nathaniel came.

All of my parents decided to make me their kid all together. Every week we have a huge family dinner. It can get extremely chaotic but completely normal for our family.

Natasha keeped giving me pointers on my fighting stance as I sparred with one of the recruits. After about an hour, she sent me to my room to change and get ready for my biology lesson with Bruce. I took a quick shower and found a dark green shirt, army jacket, and black jean shorts. I popped my contacts back in my eyes. 

"Hey  Bruce." I said announcing myself walking into the lab.

"Toby," Bruce waid not looking up from his computer. "Continue working on the project from yesterday. I sat down at my computer pulling up my assignment.

It was almost 6 by the time I left. Dinner was typically at 7 so I grabbed my assigned reading book. When I finish this book I won't have to read a pointless book for the rest of my life. I walked outside and found my favorite tree kind of hidden in the forest just a few feet inside the tree line. I managed to get a few boards and nails and built myself a platform to sit on to draw, read, write or look at the trees. I got lost in the story and was interrupted after a while by my phone. 

It was Tony : Toby, Dinner is ready in 5 get your ass in here in 3. 

I climbed down the tree ran inside the compound I dropped my book off on my bed and sprinted down the hall to the cafeteria. My incredibly large family has our own table. I sat in between Nathaniel and Lila.  The kids sit in order by age going Amanda, Jackson, Nathaniel, me, Lila, and Cooper. Cooper was currently off at college. Natasha and Bruce were close by Karter. Tony and Pepper came next followed by Clint and Laura, Bucky, Steve, Sam, Vision, Maria, Wonda, were all single so they sat all together close to the kids but let parents sit close to their kids. 

"Natasha how's Toby's training coming along?" Steve asked.

"Good, I'm thinking of having Lila and Toby fight each other next week."

"Awsome" both Lila and I said at the same time looking at each other. I felt closer to Steve than anyone else in the "family". He and Bucky really cared about me. Bucky sometimes was my sparring partner he would go easier on me than going all out and turning me into a pulp of a kid.  

"Jackson eat you carrots or no dessert." Pepper scolded her 8 year old son. Jackson looked defeated. Even I know that Jackson hates carrots, but how can anyone hate them they are the best vegetables in the world. 

I grabbed my fork and knife and started cutting up my  chicken. we continued talking throughout dinner. Dinner consisted of Chicken breast, carrots, and peas, with some fruit. We had brownies and ice cream. Jackson took forever but eventually got his dessert. I hugged my 3 youngest siblings and they went off to bed. Lila came over to my room to talk for a bit. I've read some books and most girls talk about boys, gossip and other weird things but not fighting, weapons and awesome things like that. Her parents were in the living room with the rest of our parents. Our brothers were off playing video games presumably. We put in a movie and I sat by Steve and Bucky. It got to be 9:30 I went through and hugged my 11 parents well tried to hug Vision who liked walking through our walls.

"Goodnight everyone." I said walking out of the room. 

I walked back to my room grabbed my book ans read for about 15 minutes. I changed into a large shirt and old athletic shorts. I stared at my ceiling.  I had my room painted black and grey. My sketchbook held drawings ranging from my "parents" and "siblings" to their symbols and quotes in cool font. When I filled my sketchbook I hung up some of the photos on my wall and  gifted them to my family for Christmas. I soon fell into a deep sleep.
