I think I forgot to mention that I'm having this take place after Age of Ultron. I changed my mind from before. For those that don't understand the surprise to find Jarvis.
The alarm goes off on Heather's side of the bed. She yawns and turns it off. The super soldier's movement wakes up Leo and he stretches and gets up. He goes to the bathroom and changes into his training pants while Heather gets into her running gear. She puts her hair up and walks into the hallway. Leo walks out of the bathroom and dumps his pj's in the hamper.
Heather takes her turn in the bathroom and they walk to the kitchen together. Jarvis had the cereal already out and their bowls await the milk. Heather pours both and sets the smaller one in front of Leo. They eat, going over a problem he was stuck on the day before. Then the dishes go in the sink and they walk out of the house. It's about six thirty in the morning.
They sit on the porch and stretch. Leo counts for them and then they stand up. Leo stays by Heather as they go on the morning run. She keeps slower to his pace, but he still falls behind at times. They stop once they reach the obstacle course and stretch. It usually takes them thirty minutes. They take a drink of water and stretch some more.
Leo had asked about the course, but Heather said he wasn't ready yet. Even after two weeks of training. They walk half of the way back and then run the rest if Leo feels up to it. Then, in the training barn, they do their push ups and sit ups. Leo does as many as he can, then lets his muscles rest as he watches Heather do hers at a faster pace than he could.
Heather has him only on running, stretching and push ups. But she said that there was something new they would do today. Leo is jumping with excitement. He is sore all over, but he tells himself that he'll get better. He won't strain himself, and he'll grow big and strong.
"Okay bud. Ready?"
"I'm ready for anything!" Leo cheers, standing up. Heather leads him to the sim. Leo looks over the machine. "What is it?"
"A simulator." Heather sees the look on his face. "Using these-" she hands him a pair of glasses. She holds up a larger version that she will use, "You can see what it shows you. Try them." Heather puts hers on. "Jarvis, display field sim."
"Right away," Jarvis replies. The clear visor on Heather's glasses pixelize to a shade of black. Leo jumps at the movement but then looks at his glasses. "Put them on, it does not hurt." Leo trusts the mechanic voice and puts them on. His repeat what happened to Heather's, obscuring his vision. But then an image appears in front of him. He looks down and sees his hands and feet. His plastron is the same, too.
He looks up and sees Heather standing across from him. But she doesn't have the glasses on anymore. He can feel his against his face, but the what he sees renders him confused. He lifts the glasses off and sees the barn. But when the go back down, he sees a field that goes on for miles. "Cool right?" Heather says. Leo bends down and feels the grass. "It's in your mind, Leo. We are still in the barn."
"How is this.." Leo looks around.
"We'll come in here to get you accustomed to it. Then we'll start using it for training."
"Whoa. How far can I go?" Leo asks, pointing to the horizon.
"In your mind, as far as you like. But for now, there is something else we need to do. Jarvis, disable program."
"As you wish." The glasses de-pixelize and Leo takes his off. Heather shows him their display and he leaves them there. They walk back to the house. "Young Leo, are you ready for your lesson?" Leo slightly groans. He's had lessons with Jarvis as his teacher since the day after he arrived. Jarvis uploaded the information and can teach Leo.
"Take out your homework Leo. It's school time," Heather encourages. Leo nods and gets his notebook. He sits in front of the tv and Jarvis turns it to the channel that was previously rigged for mission debriefings. But now, it is used as Jarvis' tutoring board. Leo opens up his notebook and let's a scanner look it over. "I have found a few errors. Let us go over them."
Leo continues to listen obediently to the robotic teacher, Heather goes on a longer run, going through the obstacle course on her own. Then she gets back and showers, passing Leo repeating Japanese words to the screen. She thought he'd want to learn. And he has the time. When she comes out, Leo is at the table a slice of pizza on his plate.
"Jarvis, is that healthy?" Heather asks. She had stressed healthy eating.
"I apologize, Heather. He insisted. And he got a 85 percentile on average for his homework last night."
"Really." Heather high eights Leo, "Good job. You're learning." She sits down and grabs a slice herself. They eat in silence and then Jarvis calls Leo back to finish his lessons. Heather cleans up and goes to the sim to look over the different planes. She ordered Jarvis to direct Leo in that direction when he is done. She chooses a plane he'll be comfortable with and then trains on her own until he gets there.
"Leo has arrived," Jarvis tells her. He shuts off the sim she was in and she sees Leo watching.
"Go get your sim g's." Leo obeys, coming back with them on. "I want to show you something." She tells Jarvis to turn on the forest sim. He does so and they are standing in the middle of a sea of trees. Leo reaches up and touches the tree. "You can climb it." Leo looks at it and grabs a low branch. He pulls himself up and looks down. Then he climbs down quickly.
"I.. I think I'm afraid of heights," he says. Heather pats his shell, telling him it's okay.
"C'mon." They walk through the forest. "Tag." Heather takes off into the forest. Leo runs to catch up, but gets far behind. He soon loses her. He sits down in frustration.
"This is stupid," he says.
"Giving up so easily, Leonardo?" Heather asks. Leo turns around and sees her there. "Jarvis, disable program."
"As you wish." The forest goes away and they set their sim g's away. Then they sit on the porch and go over Leo's homework. Leo gets stuck on a few words, but Heather tells him that she had dyslexia but she didn't give up. So he resolves to never give up, on anything.
'If Heather can do it,' his young mind tells him, 'then so can I.' They get through it all and then pack it away. Leo still hadn't had a bath, so he takes time to do that. Then they have supper and go on a light run. After which, they cuddle on the couch to watch one of the many movies Jarvis has stored up. Then it's off to bed, to start the day all over again.
Basically their routine each day. Yes, they do see Thor. But I didn't mention that. I'm skipping a few weeks at a time now. Otherwise this would take forever.
