Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I'm updating today because someone requested it, so please enjoy!

Fair warning, this one ends in a cliff hanger. Heheheheheh

One of my contacts fell out of my eye when I was putting it in this morning and I didn't even notice until I realized I still couldn't see. I don't know why I told you guys that.

Ada should've had water before going to bed. Her head hurts worse than last time. But she didn't forget lots like last time. Groaning, the teenager blinding reaches into her nightstand drawer and pulls out her pain meds. She takes one before falling back to sleep.

When she wakes again, feeling a little better, she takes a cold shower. Tony and Pepper are awake, she can hear them in the kitchen. The throbbing in her skull is still present and the teenager really doesn't want to face anyone today so she takes another pill before exiting her room.

"There she is," Mr. Stark says when she walks in, rubbing her bloodshot eyes.

"You were asleep when we got back," Pepper tells her as she takes a seat. "You feel okay? You look a little pale." The woman asks and places the back of her hand to the girl's forehead.

"Yeah, just..." Ada shrugs and tries to smile. Is tired a good excuse when you've been asleep for twelve hours? "I was tired, decided to go to sleep early. You guys have a good date night?" Yes, change the subject.

"We had a lovely time, thank you," Pepper smiles at her fiancé. It had been a while since just the two of them got to go out, spend time together.

"That's great," Ada looks between them, turning her head down when she meets Mr. Stark's slightly squinted eyes. "That smells great but I'm gonna pass on breakfast."

"Oh, okay," Pepper can't hide the slight disappointment in her voice. "You sure you're feeling alright?"

"Yeah, I just woke up, my stomach," She shakes her head and gestures to herself. "I'll eat something later." Pushing herself from her seat, Ada turns back into her room. She texts Peter and MJ, obviously not telling them what happened, before picking up a few things around her room.

A little while later, while she's sitting on her bed, a knock sounds at her door. "Come in," She calls out but doesn't look away from her phone.

"Hey, kiddo," Mr. Stark enters her room and sits on the edge of her bed. "I, uh," He sighs and Ada peeks up at him through her hair. "You know that door," he gestures out into the apartment. Ada knows what door he's talking about. "If you close it to lightly or too harshly, it just pops back open."

Sighing, Ada drops her head and turns off her phone. Of course, the door doesn't close properly. And of course she didn't put the pictures back in the box. "I shouldn't have looked." She whispers.

Moving his head side to side, Tony takes on a thoughtful look. "Well, I don't know," He shrugs. "Maybe..." Trailing off, the billionaire purses his lips and looks over at the teenager. "Yeah, maybe not."

"I don't-" Ada stops when her voice gets caught in her throat. She chews her lip and lowers her head even further when her eyes heat up. Tony moves over when he hears her sniff and wraps an arm around her shoulders.

"I don't have much..words of advice," He starts when she leans into his side. "You know, there's no time limit on these things. People move at their own pace. And that might make you feel better or worse. I really hope it's the former. But..." Looking down at the top of her head, Tony sighs quietly. "It doesn't matter when you can do those things. When you can look at their pictures again. Just know that you're gonna be okay. We're here for you."

"Thanks, Mr. Stark," Ada whispers a wipes her face.

"And please, kid, call me Tony,"

"Okay, sure," Ada huffs a laugh and pulls away. "I'll uh, I'll come see you guys later."

"Yeah, okay," Tony nods and stands from the bed. He clasps his hands behind his back and nods to her before leaving the room. Guilt creeps up on Ada for only feeling relieved that he doesn't know what happened last night.

Sketching from memory isn't ideal. It's always been easier for Ada if she has a picture or the object of her inspiration with her. But she doesn't have either of those things nor does she want to ask. So, she does her best.

Her phone buzzes beside her and she grips her pencil tighter. After the fifth notification, she turns the device off without looking. She knows who it is. Pinching the bridge of her nose, Ada closes her sketchbook when her head starts to hurt. She'd rather take her time with this drawing and have it turn out good rather than rush it.

The apartment is empty. Pepper is gone for work and Mr. Stark...Ada hadn't been paying attention when he told her where he was going. She hates how the apartment feels when she's the only one there.

As if he somehow sensing her mood, Peter suddenly appears. And by Peter, Ada means Spider-Man. The red and blue suit comes into view from afar. He lands on the balcony and walks towards the door. Ada unlocks it for him and steps back. "What if someone sees you?"

"Eh," Peter shrugs and removes his mask. "You weren't answering your phone."

"I turned it off." Ada shrugs and walks back into her room. She falls onto her bed, bouncing slightly when Peter does the same. "So how was your date with MJ?" She's texted both of her friends but has only asked MJ about it.

"It wasn't a date." Peter tells her and Ada sits up to look down at him.

"You guys still aren't together?" Ada groans. "Come on." She isn't sure why she's so invested in this, why it matters so much to her but it does. Maybe she has a few control issues.

"Nope," Peter looks up at her before copying her position.

Furrowing her brows, Ada cocks her head to the side. "What's that expression for?"

"I don't know," Peter mutters, his voice so quiet Ada leans forward to hear him better.

"Are you okay?" She questions but doesn't receive a verbal answer. Instead, Peter slowly moves towards her and as tentatively as he's ever done anything, he connects his lips with hers.

Gasp...lol. Um, so a few words. For starters, don't get your hopes up or down. Let me know your feelings and thoughts about that ^ And don't let that distract you from the Tony-Ada moment.

I had the notes for this chapter written but I had to move some stuff around and lost them.

Teasers: "We need to have a serious conversation." / "Of course," MJ nods once. / And when her head snaps to the side, a stinging shooting across her cheek, surprise still hits her. Dude, everybody just getting punched and slapped these days, huh? / "Thought you left," Ada mumbles after wiping her mouth.

A few more teasers I wanted to put but no, to much information. I'd give away the whole next chapter if I put them all.
