You arrived home after a particularly stressful week. It was your last week of you first year in college, which meant there was nothing but exams. Although those were the easy part of your week. The stress came when your dad was doing Avengers things. It wasn’t the worst it had been, but things got pretty bad from what you’d heard about the mission. Which meant that you had more bodyguards than usual, which stressed you out for those exams more because instead of one guy sitting in the back of the room there was one outside the door, and three other guys in the room with you, which stressed all your classmates out, and well that was just more stress on you.

It wasn’t something you did everyday, but you did have an outlet to help you relax. And since you had the extra guards it was becoming increasingly difficult to partake in said outlet. Normally you wouldn’t think to do it at home. You would sneak out at night, or go to a friends where your guard had to sit in another room, you needed some privacy afterall, or you’d find another way. But you were getting desperate for a way to calm down and you knew you only had one choice.

Once in your room you shut your door on the men that had been stuck following you around to your boring tests. You grabbed the small box you kept hidden in one of your dresser drawers under some clothes and took it into your bathroom.

After locking the door, you turn on the air vent and proceeded to set everything up.

The first drag already had you in it’s grasp. Sure, there was slight discomfort in your lungs, and you knew the risk of lung cancer. But you didn’t care. Weed was your saving grace in stressful times. It worked better than any kind of anti-anxiety you’d tried and it let you be a little more care free.

It was just nice to relax. You sat there smoking alone. Right as you were about to stamp it out your bathroom door was unlocked and opened.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Your father was stood there, eyes wide with shock.

Your eyes widened in surprise, “Dad!” You were scrambling to make it seem like you weren’t just doing what he caught you doing. “You can’t just come in my bathroom like that!” Your face was beet red.

Tony shook his head. He couldn’t believe this was happening. You were just like him, why did you have to be just like him? Tony held his hand up. “Pardon me for being told that the smell of marijuana was drifting from your room. Did you really think you wouldn’t be caught? I don’t care if you want your privacy. I knew exactly what you were doing in here and I’ll enter any room I please when I have a damn good reason to. Get that shit out of here now.”

You wanted to argue back, but you knew that it would only upset him more. So, you scrambled to get everything cleaned up before you were throwing it into a bag and leaving to discard of it outside in a dumpster. You returned upstairs, slowly, as the fear crept in of what your dad was going to say or do.

You found him waiting for you in the living room. He waved you over, knowing you’d continue standing there if he didn’t. You went and sat across from him. You knew your anxiety would be through the roof if you hadn’t just gotten high, because even being high you were freaking out.

“So?” Tony asked, expectantly.

You didn’t answer.

Tony sighed. “Sunshine, I’m not… okay well I’m a little mad, but probably not as mad as you think. So just talk to me about this.”

You couldn’t even look up at him.

“Okay look, I just want to know how you got it… what if it was laced with something… do you even know who the person was you got it from?”

“I got it from a friend it’s fine…” you finally offered, hoping that could be the end of it.

“Can you trust them? Where did they get it from? Some drug dealer off the streets? How did you even get it, your bodyguard slacking? Because if that’s the case-”

“Dad stop, it’s really not a big deal, it’s just weed. You don’t need to fire anyone because I sneak around. You know I wouldn’t even do it if it wasn’t for you and your annoying bodyguards! I’m 19 I don’t need a babysitter in my college classes. Especially 4 of them when we’re taking finals!”

Tony pinched the bridge of his nose. “You know you could have just talked to me about that. You know how Happy gets-”

“Happy?! You mean how you get, right?”

“I never told Happy it had to be 4 guys watching you, Y/N. Yes, I wanted to make sure you were properly protected, but you could have said, dad I just don’t want people in my classroom or maybe just 2 guys instead of 4. I’ll talk to Happy, but that doesn’t mean you should be smoking, especially in our home!”

“What?” You asked, and he knew you were about to challenge him. “Would you rather I do it at someone else's house? Or how about in an alley somewhere? Hey how about the school library, would that be better?”

Your father rubbed his forehead. “I’d prefer you to talk about your problems and not resort to drugs,Y/N.”

“Oh my God, dad, it’s only weed. There are way worse things out there than-“

“I don’t care about the worse things. It’s this right now. Do you even know how dangerous it can be?”

You rolled your eyes. “Oh my God, dad, why is this such a crazy big deal? It isn’t like it’s illegal!”

“It’s a big deal because I don’t want you to be like me!” He all but shouted.

You flinched at his raised voice and looked away from him.

Tony sighed as he looked at you, “I’m sorry for yelling… but I need you to understand.”

“I get it just fine, dad. I can’t make my own decisions because you don't want me to be like you… well I’m sorry you got stuck with someone that is exactly like you.” You left him there, rather shell shocked.

It was a few hours later when your dad finally tried to confront you again. He knocked on your door and waited for a response.

You wanted to ignore him but you knew he would not go away until you answered. So, you told him to come in.

He went and sat beside you on your bed. “Sunshine, I hope you knew that if you really need to smoke as an outlet, it’s fine. But please at least bring it to the lab first so we can make sure it’s alright.”

You stared at him surprised, but you nodded in response.

“You ready?” Tony asked.

You looked over at him, your nerves were through the roof. It had only been three weeks since you first set foot in the tower and since then your life changed dramatically. You see, today was move in day. After telling your dad that you were planning on getting out of your mother’s house, he offered you one of the extra rooms at the compound. This way you wouldn’t be living in the city all alone.

However, you would have been fine with moving in, if it weren’t for the fact that all of the Avengers were in and out of the place. And it’d be better if you didn’t have to meet the rest of them today.

According to Tony they were all pretty excited to meet you. You would probably feel that way too, if you weren’t about to start living with all of them. It just… seemed weird.

Tony could tell by the look in your eyes, you were far from ready. He could practically feel your anxiety radiating off of you, but then again maybe he was just feeling a little bit of that himself. “If I didn’t think that this was a good idea in the long run, I wouldn’t have suggested it,” He told you. “I promise, things will be alright.”

You nodded. “It’s just… going to be weird… and I don’t want to get in anyone’s way… What if they don’t like me? What if-”

“Sweetie,” Tony said, putting a hand on your shoulder. “I may have only known you for a couple weeks, but I love you and they’re going to love you too. Now, let’s get in there and you can get yourself settled. All your stuff should already be away, so you can just take some time to personalize your room. No one is expecting you to just jump in an start socializing. They know it takes time. After you’re settled I’ll introduce you to everyone, alright?”

His little speech did make you feel better, and it was nice that he felt comfortable enough with you now to call you cute names. You nodded and took a deep breath. “Alright, I’m ready.” You said it, even if you didn’t fully feel that way, it was better to just push head on.

You took your time settling all of you stuff that hadn’t been put away in your new room. It was nice, much bigger than the one you had before. When you were done your dad took you on a tour of the compound. His room wasn’t far from yours, which you were thankful for, it also wasn’t far from the lab. Which both of those things you were thankful for.

The compound was so large, and it wasn’t just the avengers that were there. People actually worked there. Which kind of surprised you, there were quite a bit of people, and they all worked in the place that the avengers pretty much lived most of their off time.

Your first avenger meeting that day was the Black Widow.

“Nat, this is my daughter Y/N,” Your dad introduced, placing a hand on your shoulder, hoping it would comfort you in some way.

She eyed you up and down before offering a sort of half smile. She stuck her hand out.

You politely shook hands with her.

“Well, it’s nice to finally meet you. Tony’s been talking everyone’s ears off about you the past few weeks,” She told you, smirking at your dad.

“Excuse me,” Tony scoffed.

You blushed lightly and looked over at him. You didn’t think that would be a thing he would do, but you supposed you didn’t exactly know him well enough to be the judge.

Nat rolled her eyes. “If you need anything, I’m two doors down from your room. If I’m not there just ask F.R.I.D.A.Y. where you can find me if you need anything.”

You smiled softly at her, “Thank you.”

She nodded before heading off.

“See?” Tony asked. “Not so bad, right?”

“That was so scary,” You told him, following after him as he started to a new location.

He let out a soft chuckle.

Your next run in were Captain America and Falcon, who were in the gym.

“Is that Tony’s daughter I see?” Sam questioned, pausing in his work out.

Steve looked over towards the entrance of the gym as you and Tony entered and made your ways towards them.

“Guys, this is Y/N, Y/N Steve and Sam,” Your dad introduced, much like he had with Nat.

“It’s nice to meet you,” Steve offered.

“You too,” you replied, a somewhat shy tone taking over. He was a lot more handsome in person than you thought was possible.

“Wow, Tony,” Sam started. “She looks nothing like you. You got lucky,” he directed the last part to you.

Your dad rolled his eyes. “On that note. We’ll be going, try not to torture Y/N too much with your awful jokes all the time, Sam.” He guided you back out of the gym.

You let out a soft chuckle. “They seem nice,” you stated.

Tony shook his head. “They’re good people.”

Your next stop was the living room, where almost the rest of the gang was. Clint cracked some joke, and you really hit it off with Wanda. Vision was a little strange, but you liked him. Bruce offered a nice hello and a glad to see you again. Thor was excited to meet you, glad that you would now be apart of the group. And Rhodey, well he refused to let you call him anything but ‘Uncle Rhodey’, which you accepted because he was your dad’s best friend after all.

You definitely felt welcomed once you met everyone. They all made you feel comfortable, which you were glad about.

“Hey, where’s Pete?” Tony asked once everyone had settled down a bit.

“Said he had something to work on at home,” Wanda answered. “But he’d be back tonight.”

“Who is Pete?” You asked.

“Peter’s Spider-Man,” Tony informed you.

You nodded.

“You’ll love him,” Clint started. “He’s a great kid. Super smart too.”

“He’s your age, thought you might enjoy having someone around your own age.” Tony offered. “Think the kid could use some friends himself besides us.”

“Wait,” You started, surprised. “Spider-Man is the same age as me?”

Tony nodded. “Yeah, he’s a pretty great kid.”

You nodded slowly, you never imagined that any super hero could be so young, but you supposed that there was a reason he was.

None of them were wrong, you really did hit it off with Peter once the two of you met. It was like you’d been best friends for years. You were certainly glad you fit so well with him, it made adjusting to your new life easier.
