Mr. Stark gives Ada her phone back. Fully charged. She doesn't look at all the messages and missed calls. It only makes her want to cry so she sets it aside.

The man himself isn't there. Pepper had shoved him out the door to go home for a bit. It was almost an amusing sight. The woman sits in the chair beside the bed while Ada stares at some of the flowers. Her hand goes to her neck and the girl freezes.

"Ne-necklace." She whispers, gaze moving away from the overly bright plants.

"What, sweetie?" Pepper sits forward, watching the teenager look around with furrowed brows. The almost permanent confused look no longer surprises the woman.

"I-I had a," Ada sighs, panting the bed as if the jewelry would suddenly appear. "Necklace. I n-need, I nee-need it."

"Okay," Pepper nods, trying not to rush to pull her purse towards her. The small bag inside holds the few things Ada had on her person during the accident other than her phone. Pepper pulls out the necklace carefully before handing it to the girl. "Here."

Taking the silver chain in her left hand, Ada looks down at it and released a deep breath. "It's beautiful." Pepper comments after a moment of silence and Ada nods.

"My moms." She whispers, the words falling past her lips easier than anything else has recently. "C-can yo-you...?" Smiling, Pepper stands and takes the necklace before sliding it over Ada's head, letting the pendant fall and rest on her chest. "T-thanks."

Brushing some hair behind Ada's ear, Pepper lets her hand cup the back of her neck and leans forward to place a kiss to the girl's forehead. "Do you need anything else?"

Ada shakes her head while trying her best to smile. It doesn't work but Pepper lets it go and returns to her chair. There's a bug outside the window. At least Ada thinks it's a bug, it's really more of a blurry dot. She watches it until it moves out of her sight. She reaches for her phone.

Unlocking it while ignoring all the old messages, Ada types out a simple text, gritting her teeth at the effort. She then hands the device to Pepper without a word, watching the woman read the screen before she looks back up. "Are you sure? You don't have too."

Nodding, Ada takes her phone when it's offered back to her. "I-I w-want them...t-to come."

"Okay," Pepper's smile grows and Ada knows it makes her happy that she was willing to see someone else other than just her and Mr. Stark. She hates to make them worry.

The door opens a few minutes later and Ada feels her heart drop momentarily before a nurse comes into view. She's not sure if she's seen this nurse before or not and she feels bad. She should remember. But the lady smiles kindly and checks her Iv meds before stepping out. They're still giving her anticonvulsants. Ada can't remember why but she does remember the doctor saying they could add to her confusion but they thought it best over risking...something.

Her heartbeat picks up after a few more minutes pass. The machine reading her vitals doesn't beep like she always thought they did. She's sure that's a setting, they just have it turned off. But it still displays how fast or slow her heart is beating and Pepper must have seen it.

"Ada, sweetie, is everything okay?" She quickly asks the teenager, placing a hand on her arm but the girl only continues to stare forward at nothing. "Ada?"

"Sorry," Shaking her head, Ada takes a deep breath and looks over at the woman's worried eyes. "I'm o-okay. Ju-just..." She glances towards the door.

"I can tell them you changed your mind." Pepper says gently. "They'll understand."

"No," Ada shakes her head. "I'm...fi-fine."

Hesitating, Pepper looks from the door and to the teenager before nodding. "Okay. but you can make them leave whenever you want. Or just look at me and I'll drag them out if I have too."

Ada's shoulders relax and her lips pull up slightly. Pepper fills the silence with a one-sided conversation, just trying to help pass the time until there's a knock on the door. Ada brushes her hair over the right side of her head before nodding to Pepper. "Come in." The woman calls out quietly.

When the two people walk inside, they very obviously hold themselves back from coming any further into the room. It takes a second, way longer than it should for someone to recognize they're best friend, but when she does, Ada smiles a small and says. "Hey...n-nerd."

Releasing a shuddering breath, Peter nearly surges forward to wrap his friend in a hug. He's as gentle as he can be, arms folding over her shoulders as hers weakly go around his back. Peter had known she was awake but hadn't let himself feel relief until now. Until he can see it for himself.

"B-b-broken bon-bones," Ada whispers when the pressure starts to become uncomfortable and Peter pulls back as if he'd been burned.

"I'm so sorry," He quickly apologizes, wide eyes roaming over her as his hands hover by his sides.

"It's o-okay," Ada mumbles, trying her best to smile as...

"Ada?" Pepper prompts gently with a hand on the girl's shoulder.

"I c-can't-" She breaks off, swallowing as tears fill her eyes. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, sweetie," Pepper turns the teenagers head towards her, blocking out the other people in the room. "What's wrong?"

"I don't..." She pauses with a hitched breath, feeling her hands shake. "R-re-remember."

"That's okay, what don't you remember?" Pepper keeps her eyes trained on her kid, desperately wishing she could just fix everything. She thinks she understands why Tony likes to build things now. Likes to fix things. The feeling of control doing something like that brings.

When Ada glances behind her, Pepper follows her eyes. She understands then. "That's May, honey." She tells the teenager softly, smiling towards the other woman with a smile to let her know it's okay.

"Hey, Ada," May approaches the teenager, placing a hand on her nephew's shoulder.

"I'm sorry," Ada apologizes and wipes her eyes. How could she not remember May? It's May. Peter's aunt. One of the kindest people she's ever met.

"Oh, no, don't be." May smiles to her and sniffs, placing a warm hand on the girl's cheek. "It's perfectly okay. You just need to give yourself time." That's what the doctor has been telling her and Ada remembers that May is a nurse. She's probably had patients with similar problems.

Peter's face had fallen but he forces a smile when Ada looks to him. "I've been feeding Athena." It's random but for some reason the thing that popped into the forefront of his mind. "Your cat. Well, the alley cat."

"Right," Ada mumbles. She hates to admit, but she'd forgotten about the little feline. "Sorry," She'd repeated that word so much now, it was no longer hard to say. "M-my brain..." She knows what she wants to say but the words come to her like slow internet. It's annoying and frustrating. "T-to mo-mouth filter...h-has..." Big word. Peter waits patiently for her to finish. "ma-malfunctioned."

He laughs then. A deep, loud, surprised laugh. The worry drains from him. This was his friend. Maybe she has a little trouble with things now, but it was still her. The joke proves that. "Yeah, well, it never really worked that well in the first place." He says back with a shrug, ignoring May and Pepper's confused looks. It was more of an inside joke, anyway.

But when Ada's smile stretches across her face, neither woman question the teenagers and smile instead. "That's r-rude."

Sharing a look, both teenagers smirk before saying together. "But true."

Pepper feels a weight she hadn't known was on her shoulders to be lifted. This is the most alive she's seen Ada since the girl woke up. Who knew all it took was her best friend to basically insult her to make her smile? Teenagers.

Peter fills Ada in on what he deems important. Never once becoming annoyed or impatient when she responds slowly, words broken and spaced. He only sits on the bed beside her, the smile never leaving his face.

Another knock sounds at the door a little while later and May moves to answer it. All conversation stops as two more teenagers and another adult enter. "Sup, d-dorks?" Ada is able to say after a moment.

"I hate you," MJ says but she walks forward to pull her friend into a hug, whispering into her ear. "Ever do something like this again and I'll kill you myself."

"L-love...y-you too." Ada mumbles while MJ pulls back, face giving nothing away to what she thinks of her slurred speech. Ada has to wave Ned over before the boy moves his feet and very slowly wraps his arms around his friend as if the smallest touch would break her.

Five minutes later has MJ sitting shoulder to shoulder with Ada while Ned and Peter perch on the end of the bed by her legs. The teenagers all talk amongst themselves while Pepper, May, and Mrs. Leeds converse with each other.

"MJ has something she wants to give you." Ned blurts out when there's a pause and MJ shoots the boy a death glare.

"Really?" Ada turns her head to the girl, raising her brows in question. "I'm..." Ada looks up in thought, blinking to clear away the fogginess blocking the word. "In-intrigued."

"Fine," MJ sighs and shifts over to pull a small box from her pocket. Ada takes it, setting it in her box and using her right-hand fingers best she can to hold it still while her left-hand lifts the top. Inside lies a bracelet. Ada pulls it out of its home and holds it up. "The band is made from recycled wire and the stars are from bottle caps." MJ informs her casually, trying not to make the way she studies the girl's face for her reaction obvious.

The wire is twisted together to make the band and different star-shaped bottle caps hang from it, encircling it all the way around. Ada smiles. It's such an MJ gift. Using her right fingers again, Ada pushes the bracelet onto her wrist before holding it up to look at it. "I-I love it." She turns to her friend. "Th-ank you."

"Yeah," MJ shrugs but grins, throwing her arm around the shorter girl's shoulders.

The door opens and everyone looks over to see Tony who pauses, his eyes sweeping the room. "There's a party and no one invited me?" He questions, raising his brows at everyone. He softens when he sees the smile on Ada's face. "Hey, kids."

"Hey, Mr. Stark." Peter and Ned say while MJ gives him a nod.

Tony smiles at them and sets the bag in his hands down. Ada raises a brow in question but he waves as a promise to tell her later.

A little while later, Tony looks over to see Ada's eyes drooping. She tries so hard to keep them open, but she gets tired a lot easier now. Nudging Pepper, Tony motions to her and the woman nods before politely informing the other women of the situation.

"Alright, kiddies," Mr. Stark interrupts the teenagers, quietly clapping his hands together. "Sorry, but you all gotta get."

"Awe," Ned mumbles in disappointment but nods.

"You can all come back tomorrow if Ada's up for it." Tony tells them as they all climb off the bed, saying goodbye to their sleepy friend.

Ada nods with him as she hugs Peter. "I'll...s-see you gu-guys...t-to-tomorrow."

"I'll hold you to that." Peter says as he pulls away. May and Mrs. Leeds tell the girl goodnight before herding the children out of the room.

Once they're all gone and Ada has no reason to stay awake, sleep overtakes her in mere moments.

I know Ada is stumbling with her words a lot, but I've seen stuff like this in person so I'm just kind of going off that.

The next chapter, we see some more of the others and things happen after that. Ada is trying her best to handle the situation she's found herself in but it's difficult. Will she continue to let those around her help? Or will she push them away? And we'll learn of a certain someone coming into the story. Any guesses on who it is?
