Chapter 4: Bella and Tony talk

Bella's POV: (the next day)

I had gotten up a little earlier than normal, I wasn't able to sleep through the night and decided to go to the living space to sit on the couch and read. I grabbed my copy of the history book I would need for my new school and walked out of my room. I walked into the living space and stopped when I noticed someone was in there reading. As I got closer I realized it was Tony reading a book and I smiled a little.

"I guess we both like to read when we can't sleep." I said as I walked over startling him a bit and sat on the other side of the couch. I guess he didn't expect anyone else to be awake yet. He looked up at me and then at my book.

"I guess so but why read your school book?"

"I thought I'd try and catch up a little before I go to school for my first day." i said with a shrug opening it. He nodded and set his book down.

"So why can't you sleep? Bucky didn't really say much other than you were having a hard time in Forks."

"T-that's because he doesn't know the whole story." I said looking down. No one really knew the story, and I'm hoping to keep it that way for now. After a few moments of silence Tony shifts a bit as he closes the book that he was holding giving a small sigh.

"Well I'm not pressuring you to say anything but if you want to talk I'm here, always ready to lend an ear. Along with the rest of the team. We've all had our own moments and we all needed one another at one point or another. You're a part of this family Bella so don't worry about talking to any one of us." He finishes as he gives me a soft smile. I smiled a little and sighed.

"Well, three months ago the guy i loved broke up with me and told me he never really loved me and then left me in the forest alone." I said looking down and I felt Tony take my hand comfortingly.

"I'm so sorry Bella, I know how you must be feeling. I'm sorta going through a break up as well." he said and I looked up at him.

"Pepper and I broke up a few days before Bucky left to go get you." he continued and I looked down.

"I'm so sorry Tony, if you ever want to talk about it i'll be here to listen." I said and he smiled a little.

"I'd like that Bella and the same goes for you." I blushed a little and looked at the clock.

"You should probably go get ready for School. Peter will be here soon to go with you." Tony said and I looked at him.

"How are we going to get there? I left my truck back in Forks."

"I guess Bucky didn't tell you. He got you a car to make it easier for you to get places and everything."

"What kind of car exactly?" I asked nervously hoping he didn't get something too fancy.

"A black Mercedes Guardian (S600 Guard) i believe." I sighed and decided I'd make Bucky happy and use it.

"Alright, i should go get ready for school then." I said and walked back to my room to get dressed.

Tony's POV: (A few minutes later)

So I decided to go into the kitchen and make Bella some breakfast that she could take with her to school to help her out so she wasn't late for her first day. I started to make her a strawberry crepe and smiled figuring i'd make one for Peter too knowing he'd be here soon. As i finished making the crepes, i heard someone enter the kitchen and i looked up and was shocked by what i saw. Bella was standing there and she looked beautiful. She wore a purple tank top paired with jet black skinny jeans, black ankle boots with stiletto heels and a matching coat. Her dark brown hair was curled a little at the ends as well.

"You look beautiful Bella." i said with a smile putting one of the crepes on a plate and set it in front of her.

"Thank you Tony. Natasha helped pick it out for me." she said blushing. I smiled as she started to eat and looked up to see Peter walking over to us.

"Hey kid, I made you a crepe too." I said and set it next to Bella.

"Thanks ." he said sitting down eating his.

"You're welcome. Now you are going to show Bella around and make sure she knows where everything is right."

"Yes, that's the plan and Ned and MJ will help as well." I nodded and started to clean the dishes.

"Well Peter we should get going, I don't want to be late for my first day." Bella said standing up and grabbing her bag.

"That's a good idea, I can't be late again either."

Bella's POV:

Peter picked up his bag and we walked out to my car. I got in the driver's side as Peter got in the passenger side and I couldn't help but smile loving my new car.

"I'm a little nervous about starting at a new school again." I said as I started the car.

"We'll do what we can to help you adjust to the school Bells." he said and I couldn't help but smile a little. I drove out of the garage and to the school in silence trying not to think about what happened the last time I was the new girl. After a few minutes we arrived at Midtown School of Science and Technology and I parked in one of the free parking spots. I took a deep breath trying not to panic. Peter took my hand giving it a reassuring squeeze and I looked at him.

"It's gonna be ok Bella I promise." he said and I nodded getting out of the car. We walked into the school and he led me to the office so I could get my schedule. Once I had my schedule I noticed all my classes were the same as Peter's and I shook my head.

"Uncle Bucky must have done this." I said and Peter shook his head

"Actually, your uncle Steve did this. He thought this way I could help you out if you need it." I smiled a little.

"Remind me to thank him later." I said and Peter laughed.

"He just wants to make sure you are safe. Come on I'll introduce you to MJ and Ned." I smiled and followed him to homeroom. If I was honest with myself I was actually excited to meet them. We walked into the classroom and he led me over to a table.

Peter's POV:

I led Bella over to where Ned and MJ were sitting, I was really hoping that MJ would be nice.

"Hey guys, I'd like you to meet my new friend Bella, she moved here from Washington and will be finishing up her senior year with us." I said and Ned stood up shaking Bella's hand.

"Hello Bella, I'm Ned and welcome to our school." Ned said and Bella smiled.

"It's nice to meet you Ned. Peter has told me a lot about you and MJ." she said and MJ smiled a little.

"So how do you know Peter?" MJ asked.

"Well Steve Rogers is my godfather. So that's I guess how Peter and I met. I moved in with uncle Steve after something bad happened to me back home and needed a change." she said looking down and I hugged her.

"It's gonna be ok Bella I promise." I said and she nodded.

"Thanks Peter." she sighed as she sat down.

"I'm sorry i'm still getting over what happened."

"It's alright Bella." Ned said and we all sat down again taking out our notes so Bella could catch up. A couple minutes later the bell rang and we were off to english. I let the teacher know Bella was new and she told Bella to sit next to me. We took our seats and the teacher started passing out the play we were going to read today. I heard Bella gasp and turned to look at her.
