Chapter 4

"Peter, Peter, Perer......." Alex muttered to himself.
"Shu, shu, shu. Your ok, everything is going to be ok." Ash reassured him in a calm, quiet tone.

Alex was having a nightmare. He always had them when one of the group members was severely injured. Sometimes it's about his friends during other times its repeating his dad's abuse or Oscorps abuse to him and other 'experiments'. A few times its about Lorenz hating him for being Gay.

"You'll be ok." Ash continued.
"Here," Luna whispered as she slipped him his notebook. "You will be ok. Write down anything that's on your mind."

Writing fixed almost all of Alexander's problem. It helped him calm down. Almost immediately alex started scribbling down all his thoughts. His nightmares.

They still were in the room. Ash overheard the Avengers talk about making them quit fighting crime. She kept one of her powers a secret so she has a trick up her sleeve.

"We need to leave as soon as Peter wakes up," Ash muttered under her breath. "They are going to make us quit being heros."

"Crap, Thats bad." Whispered Luna. "We can't stop. It's the only thing that keeps us people. We already told the public are names, not where we live or what school you go to. Anyone except our friends dont know our last names."
"That's because we don't have any." Hissed ash quietly.
"Being a hero is the only thing that keeps Alex sane." Luna pointed out.
"That is true. So as soon as Peter wakes up we will go." Ash finished right before they heard footsteps.

Ash quickly got up to check on peters bandages. They needed to be changed. She scrambled to find bandages.

"There over here." She heard a male voice say. Startled, she jolted turning around to see a man with grayish-brown hair. He jumped seeing the teenage girl with her fists up. She is ready to fight. The scars over eyes made her look like she could kill anyone with a glare.

"Ummm...... Are you ok?" The man said.
"Ya... I was just startled." Ash said slowly lowering her fists. "Who are you?"
"I'm Bruse, and your Ash, right?" Bruse guessed.
"Ya, I am. How did you know?" Ash questioned.
"Tony said your a bit of a madic." Bruse said. "And your changing his bandages."
"Ya..." Ash muttered. "Thanks for the bandages."

Ash grabbed the Bandages out of Bride's hand. She carefully started to unwrap the bloody bandage on Peters Arm. It looked almost healed, so she noted it and reapplied the bandage. Then she started on his other arm.

"He is almost healed." She murmurs.
"K" Bruise noted.
"He has healing, can sense danger, and other stuff." She said. "He should be healed by tomorrow. And he should gain consciousness in a few days."

After she replaced all his bandages she checked his temperature. 98 'Good' thought Ash.

"The three of you must be hungry, do you want to come to the kitchen to get something to eat?" Bruce asked the teens, hoping they say yes. It looks like they haven't eaten much recently.
"Sure." He heard a young boy say as he intensely scribbled into a notebook.
"That sounds good." Murmured Luna.

Ash just nodded her head.

He lead then down into the kitchen. When they reached the kitchen each teen made a small or light lunch. Ash had pita and hummus, Luna made scrambled eggs and Alexander made a salad. Bruse made some tea.

He was questioning why the already starving teens are eating small and light meals. Alex slightly scowled seeing the tea, but the girls just rolled there eyes.

"Don't hate him just because he likes tea." Scolded Luna.
"It's not him, it's that the tax for it is always raising! Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the tea!" Alex exclaimed getting louder here the end of the sentence.
"Alexander, please?" Sighed Ash.
"I'll try." Alexander murmured under his breath.

Bruce slowly sipped his tea as he thought about Tony planning to make the teens quit being superheroes. Bruse argued that they needed to continue doing it. Losing their crime fighting hobby would make them lose part of themselves. He would feel the same if he lost the hulk side of him. It protects him and those he cares about.

"What were you and you Avengers talking about when Tony said 'I think they should stop'.' Ash asked, mimicking the last part.
"How did you hear that?" Asked Bruse, confused. "You were on a different floor."
"Well... I have super hearing." Said Ash sheepishly. "Don't tell anyone."
"I won't. It's not my secret to tell." Promised Bruce.

The teens continued eating three meals until they were finished. They didn't seem that much fuller. He noted to tell the others to make them eat more. The teens suddenly pulled out homework. Wate...

"Shouldn't you be in school right now?" Bruce questioned.
"Well, I have been there a lot. Ash has problems with her wings. Alex has been suspended a few times due to the 'revolution'. Peter always goes, except if he is too injured. All of have skipped to fight or because of being too hurt to go. Ash always go when one of us is too injured." Stated Luna as she took her mask off. She has a black eye, rashes bruises and has a scar over both eyes like Ash.
"We are ahead of our classmates and some teachers." Muttered Alex.
"The teachers are surprised when we all are absent for a week.." Ash chimed in.
"How are you not expelled?" Bruce sighed.
"We turn in all our work and get good enough grades for the teachers not to care, and we have high enough grades not to care." Alexander stated.
"Are your parents worried about where you are and when you go to school." Questioned Bruse.
"Ummm.... We don't have any, and if we were to explain Alexander would probably break down." Ansured Ash.
"So, you are in foster care?"
"Use to be." Mumbled Ash.
"No." Alex ansured.
"Not in a million years!" Exclaimed Luna.
"Wait, so you guys homeless?" Bruse asked, worried.
"Ya" Sighed Luna. "We are."
"You could stay here."
"If we do we will get nagged at school asking 'why do you go into the avengers tower every day?'." Ansured luna, mimicking the last part with a weird voice.
"And we don't want any attention." Mumbled Ash. "We just want to be introduced by students. Except when we get bullied, or when Alexander," she started glaring at alex. "And his friends break the law to one up the loyalists."
"Well, do you want to go to a guest room so you guys can get sleep, or do you want to go back to peter?" Bruse asked.
"We'd prefer to go back to Peter." Ash insured after looking at her two friends.

He led the Teens back to Peter.
