I sat on my bed, scrolling through social media on my laptop. Suddenly, alarms started blaring, making me look up.

"FRIDAY, what's happening?" I asked, talking to my dad's artificial intelligence system that he had built into the Avengers' Tower.

"Loki has breached the portal, he's letting all of Thanos' army through. The Avengers are assembling." She informed, making my eyes widen. Suddenly, my door flew open and my dad ran in.

"Y/N, get up, we've got to go, now." He demanded as he took my arm and pulled me off of my bed.

"Dad, what's happening?" I gulped.

"We're under attack, I need you to put comms in and then get straight to the safe room. I've got to go, but you'll be okay, I promise. I love you, kid." He spoke, pulling me into a tight hug. I gulped, being able to tell that my dad was scared by how tightly he was hugging me.

"Dad, I'm scared." I admitted.

"Good. That's what's going to keep you alive." He nodded before pulling away. He sighed and looked at me before kissing my head.

"Comms in, now." He demanded before sprinting out of my room. I gulped, nodding to myself as I rushed to my Chester drawers and pulled the top drawer out, revealing all of my Stark-made tech. I gulped and looked up, the alarms still blaring as I put a comms plug into my ear. I looked at my window and my eyes widened as a missile flew towards the building.

"Oh my god-." The missile hit the building, sending me flying back as the building collapsed around me. I landed in the rubble, making me groan as I landed harshly. I coughed, the dust filling my lungs as I lay there, unaware of what had just happened as my head spun.

"Y/N?! Are you okay?! Kid, talk to me." My dad spoke in my ear. I gulped and let my head fall to the side. My eyes widened at what I saw.

"Dad." I choked, a tear leaving my eye at the sight of an unexploded missile lying just a few feet away from me.

"Oh, thank god, you're okay, kiddo, someone will find you, it's going to be okay." He reassured.

"Dad, there's an unexploded missile next to me." I admitted, tears leaving my eyes.

"Oh my god...okay, okay, it's going to be okay, just stay very still, you'll be okay." He spoke.

"I'm going to die." I cried.

"Not if I have anything to do with it." My eyes widened as it started to beep rapidly.

"Dad, it's beeping, what do I do?" I gulped.

"Don't move, I'm coming for you, do not move."

"Dad, I love you."

"I love you too, but you're going to be fine."

"No, I'm not." I cried as the beeping got faster.

"Don't say that, it's going to be okay."

"I love you." I whispered before closing my eyes as the beeping stopped and light blinded me.

"Y/N! NO!"

My eyes slowly opened but immediately closed again as they were met with a blinding light. I groaned, crying out slightly as I was in immense pain.

"Tony, she's awake."

"Oh my god-Y/N, can you hear me? Say something, kid." I opened my eyes fully and they widened. I gulped, looking around the small room, with nothing but the bed that I was lying in, in it. I looked at the door and sighed in relief as I saw my dad through the window.

"Dad, you're alive." I choked.

"I am, kid, everyone is okay, don't worry. All you need to do right now, is stay calm." He nodded. My eyebrows furrowed.

"Dad, why wouldn't I stay calm?" I asked.

"Just don't look down." He shook his head. My eyebrows furrowed further and my gaze slowly travelled down.

"Y/N, don't do it." My eyes widened as red laces of energy circled around my body, encasing every part of me in red. I gulped before a scream left my lips.

"You're okay, kid, this is normal." He shrugged in that trying-to-be-reassuring way that he did.

"No, it's freaking not! Tell me how being surrounded in freaking Wanda energy is normal!" I screamed.

"Just try to stay calm, it's all going to be okay." Dad nodded. I shook my head as I climbed out of the bed, immediately stumbling.

"No, Y/N, no, don't do that, that's a bad idea." Dad shook his head as I stumbled through the room, holding onto the walls for support as I walked to the door. I grabbed the handle but my eyes widened as it wouldn't bolt. I stared at dad through the glass.

"Am I locked in here?!" I scoffed, my head starting to spin as the red energy still surrounded me.

"I'm sorry, I had to, for your safety and for everyone's safety, you've got enough energy in you right now to destroy a city." He spoke. My eyes widened further and I looked down at my shaking red hands.

"Dad, take it, I don't want this, please, stop it." I gulped.

"I can't do that, I'm sorry." He spoke, and I could tell that he was trying not to cry as he reassured me.

"Dad, please, I can't do this." I choked, shaking my head as I could feel myself becoming weaker as the energy built up around me.

"Y/N, just stay calm, please, stay calm for me." He nodded.

"I can't! My life is over, I can't stay calm knowing that!" I cried.

"Shit, get Wanda hear now!" dad yelled, looking at someone else who I couldn't see before looking back at me.

"Kid, don't do this, please relax, don't do this." He shook his head. I didn't hear him as my head started spinning out of control, making me collapse against the wall. I screamed out at the pain as suddenly, energy shot from me, lighting the room up bright red.

"Y/N! NO!"

I gasped as my eyes shot open and I jolted up into a sitting position. I panted heavily, holding a hand to my heaving chest as I tried to calm down.

"Heart rate elevation detected." FRIDAY spoke.

"Yes, FRIDAY, I know." I gulped.

"Unsafe hyperventilating detected." She said again.

"I know, FRIDAY." I groaned.

"Five minutes away from a panic attack if levels not returned to normal detected-."

"How can you even detect something like that?" I gulped, my hand still against my chest.

"Elevated levels of anxiety detected-."

"Thanks, FRIDAY, temporarily disable medical scanning." I looked up and sighed in relief as dad walked in.

"You okay, kid?" he asked. I gulped and nodded.

"Yeah, I just...had a bad dream." I lied, looking down. He sighed and sat on the edge of my bed next to me.

"You know, you don't always have to be strong. It's okay to admit that things get to you." He nodded.

"You never admit it." I scoffed.

"That's because my emotions are screwed up due to growing up with a lack of a father figure around. But trust me, I don't show it, but you don't go through all that I've been through without getting damaged. You don't lose everything that I've lost and still be intact. Hell, I lost a massive piece of me when your mom died." He admitted, looking at me. I couldn't help but smile at my dad. We had always been close and honest with each other, but he had never opened up to me like this before.

"Do you ever think about her?" I asked, looking at him. He sighed and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before crossing one leg over the other and putting his hands on the top knee.

"All the time." He nodded, looking at me. I gave him a small smile.

"In fact, when you came home from the date with Peter, when I was teasing you about the sex ed and stuff, I thought about what she would say. "Leave her alone, Tony, it's her first boyfriend, her first kiss, stop embarrassing her"." He smiled.

"That's exactly what she would say." I laughed, making him chuckle and nod.

"Honestly, kid, I see more of her in you, every single day. And that's how I know that she would be so, so proud of you. Almost as proud as I am of you." He nodded. I smiled at him as I felt tears prick my eyes.

"Thanks, dad. That means a lot." I nodded. He gave me a small smile before standing up.

"You're going to be late for school if you don't get up now." He spoke as he wandered out. I looked at my alarm clock and my eyes widened as the time read seven forty-five am.

"Oh shit-."

"LANGUAGE!"

I walked up to the school gates and sighed in relief as I saw Peter, Ned and Michelle, waiting for me like usual. I walked up the stairs, making Peter spot me.

"Hey, you." He smiled. I didn't reply, instead I just walked straight into his arms, wrapping mine around his waist.

"Woah, you okay there, Y/N?" he chuckled, returning the hug as he looked at Ned and Michelle. I nodded, letting Peter's heartbeat calm me.

"I'm guessing that the date went well, then." Ned smiled. We returned it as I pulled away from Peter, but I felt reassured by his hand remaining on my lower back.

"Well, yeah, we are kind of a thing now." Peter chuckled, taking my hand as we walked into school.

"Peter, you guys have been a thing for months, just unofficially." Michelle scoffed, making us laugh as we walked to class, but my laugh was only half-hearted, which Peter noticed.

"Seriously, you okay?" he asked as he looked at me, concerned.

"I'm fine, I just...had a bad dream last night." I nodded, looking at him. Technically, that was the truth, the only difference being that the events in the "dream" actually happened.

"Hey." He spoke, gently taking my hand. I raised my eyebrows at him, prompting him to continue.

"You would tell me if something was wrong, wouldn't you?" he asked, gently taking a strand of my hair and tucking it behind my ear. I couldn't help but smile at how caring he was being.

"Course I would, Pete. It was just a bad dream." I reassured. He sighed and nodded before leaning forward and kissing my head.

"Hey, Romeo and Juliet, class." Michelle yelled from across the hall, making us blush as Peter took my hand and pulled me towards our class.
