About 1 Year Later

Yay! Ice cream. Mom, Dad, and Will went out to get ice cream, trusting me to stay home alone. I was on the computer, and I just wanted ice cream. I didn't even say goodbye to them. I would regret that for the next year. Anyways, after an hour, they didn't come back. I assumed the line was long, or traffic was bad. I just went to sleep on the couch. I woke up to the phone ringing. I answered it, trying to sound awake.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this a child of Gregory and Sophia Stark?" The man asked.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, they got into a car accident last night. Their in the morgue, and we need you over here, right now!" The man answered. I immediately hung up, and ran to the morgue.

"Hello, unfortunately, Gregory, William, and Sophia have died." A man said. (Yes, Gregory is Tony's brother on Earth-1620.) My heart dropped. "Do you have any family you can stay with?"

"Uh, yeah, I have Tony!" I said. I scrolled way down into the contacts list of the phone. Will knew more people than I thought. Finally, I reached Tony. It only took him 2 rings to answer.

"Will, what do you want?" He asked.

"This is Alex, you need to get to the morgue!" I said.

"What, why?" He asked.

"Just get here as fast as possible." I exclaimed.

"JARVIS, get the car ready!" Tony exclaimed. "I'll be there soon!" He hung up.

30 Minutes Later

Tony burst through the door.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" He yelled, clearly out of breath. I pointed to the coffins. Tony ran his hand through his hair.

"Tony, I have to live with you." I said. "You're my only family left." Tony's face went white, but he understood. He had his lawyers sign the papers to say that he was my guardian. Now, I love my uncle, always have, always will, but with my powers, the more famous I am, means the more likely I am to be found out.

"Alex, I'm so sorry this happened." Natasha said.

"It's not your fault. Why would you be sorry?" I asked. Sure, I was sad, but that didn't mean that they had to be sad for me. They took me in. That was the best I was hoping from them, but they've been worried about me for the last week. I've been a little mopey, but who wouldn't be in this situation? Peter was mopey when May died, and he moved in with The Avengers. I just hoped this wouldn't turn into a thing where they try to help me, and be nice to me. I hope they just try to act normal. Well, as normal as they can be.
