Chapter 2
"I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicalsI'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
WhoaI'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactiveI raise my flag and dye my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa..."
I reached over and turned off my alarm. 5:45 am, most kids my age are still sleeping by the time I'm done with my workout, Language lessons, Computers class and Archery by 10. Each of my activities is an hour and a half I had 15 minutes to eat and get to the workout room to start with Steve, Sam, and Bucky. I spend a lot of time with those 3. Steve taught me gymnastics in order to put in my fighting. I use all the elements. The beam does balance and bars help with upper arm strength. My birthday is in two weeks. When I was dropped off at the steps of the compound there was a letter that told them that when I was 16 or 17, my uncle would tell me who my parents are. That means within the next 2 weeks I will finally know who my parents are.
I grabbed a sports bra in neon green, and black and white shorts. I got my morning vanilla coffee protein shake. I drank my shake on the way to the workout room. 5:56 I was in there. Steve was in there with Bucky, Sam like usual was running late.
"Hey Toby warm-up and get started on the bars I'll be over there in a few minutes to help out." Steve told me pointing over to the gymnastics area.
I walked over near the bars and started stretching. I ran 2 laps around the gym. Doing a few back walkovers, and cartwheels. Doing splits and other stretches I was finally done stretching. I grabbed onto the bar and did a few swings and kips and started out on my routine. I felt someone watching me, working so fast I didn't look. I flew off the bars and landed. Turning I saw Cooper watching. Jumping I ran over and tackled him in a hug then pinned him to the floor."When did you come back?"I asked.
"Last night around 11. I went to your room to see if you were up." I rolled off him and slapped him in the chest.
"I knew someone was watching me."
"Hey Cooper, Toby needs to practice. If she works hard I can cut her 10 minutes at the end. But she needs to work really hard." Steve came in to get us back together.
"I guess I better get to work. Lila is free for the next hour if you want to hang out with her."
"Sure. See you soon."
"Hey Cooper." Bucky said walking to the bars. "You back from college so soon."
"Hey Buck. I haven't been here since Christmas I do go to school on the other side of the country. It's July. "
"Whatever I've known you for what 10 years now." He shot back
"Yea way to make me feel old. No offence old guys."
"Old guys! I could take you down without breaking a sweat."
"Because you and your siamese twin over there are genetically modified duh."
"Okay boys break it up." I stepped between them holding my arms out gently pushing cooper back. There is no way on earth that I was going to try to move Bucky back. I've seen him get shot in the stomach and barley take a step back. " If you need to fight it out just move so I can work, and Bucky don't hurt him too badly I still need to beat the crap out him later."
Cooper looked over at me like he was trying to wrap his head around the idea of my taking him down.
"Hey I want to be there when that happens." Steve said Bucky was nodding along. Sam then came running into the room.
"Cooper your mom wants you she told me that you might be in here."
"Okay." he walked off the mat. Steve had me get up onto the bars. Sam went back into the weight room. Bucky on the other hand, leaped up onto the beam and started doing some simple flips. Steve had me work on all my apparatuses then I could go and work in the weight room. I bench press more than most boys 3 years older than me. I can bench about 10 pounds more than I weigh.
Steve and Bucky on the other hand can practically bench twice their weight. I mean what happened all those years ago.
I finished my morning workout then, quickly changed. I had 10 minutes left until my language lessons. Cooper came back after an hour and waited. Lila, and the rest of my siblings don't work as hard as or as long as I do. Well being raised by the entire Avengers team pressures you to do great things in life. Laura and Pepper didn't really want to have me put in martial arts, weapons, they just wanted me to have brains and good job skills. When I was younger I would pull pranks on everyone. I got yelled at and never pulled a prank on someone since I was 9. I spent most of my free time with Cooper in a few (Classes) he came with me and helped me out. It was fun. Cooper is the best big brother anyone could ask for, granted he is the only brother I have that is older. Nate is 7 months younger than me and i let him know at every chance I can get that I am older than him like we were twins or something. After lunch I had a 1 hour break before my history lessons with Bucky, and Steve about their time. then they were students earlier into our history lessons about what happened during their time in crio. Bucky understood some of it being thawed and frozen over half a century of time he had to know somethings that go on. Steve was better than before. I mean he was frozen for about 70 years. Mentally they are 98-99, but physically 30. Tony had a meeting tomorrow morning so he left after my lesson. All of us kids were used to our parents having to leave on short notice for meetings, assignments and other weird things like that. Karter had me and Lila as parents in a way, we were almost always there for our younger siblings. Some of them like Amanda, jackson don't understand what is going on but we love them alot. Cooper coming home had us go out to eat in a Nearby city. They still gave us weird looks when we walked through town. Like 10-15 people at the same table eating isn't common in most places. We went to a buffet. It feed the entire family those who are picky eaters aren't complaining and us the teenagers can eat as much as we want. Eating in town also gave us a chance to shop. If I ever need anything I can always ask Pepper or order it online and get it without a problem.
Today I wanted to get some new pencils, paper, and posters. I really like designing my own posters, and t-shirts. I am really into art. One year I made shirts for my entire family.
We came back to the compound after about 2 hours of getting things. I collapsed onto my bed with my art supplies put away in my storage that's held in my walls. I drifted off to sleep after telling everyone goodnight and giving each a hug.
