I was just managing to be able to eat the burned cereal the guys gave us, like seriously, how the heck does one even managed to burn cereal!? It's fucking cereal! It doesn't require to be cooked, it doesn't require any culinary skills!

"Between pouring the milk in the bowl and giving it to me, how the hell did this occur?" I held up my bowl for all to see that the outer rims of the cereal flakes were nearly burned off.

"Hey, it's called presentation, we tried to make it look fancy" David defended.

"I call this garbage," I scoff.

"I think there's a tooth in mine?" Bridgette commented, eyeing her bowl skeptically.

Everyone laughed. Sara, Bridgette, Johnny and I sat by the table while Kevin leaned on the fridge and David on the kitchen sink.

Unbeknownst to anyone (Jeez, I can't believe I just used a word like unbeknownst XD) under the table Johnny held my hand and was rubbing circles onto it seductively. I kept fighting the urge to smile and blush and kept forcing myself to act natural. I tried my best to fight him off but he'd turn it into a game and started finger wrestling me.

I was forcefully chewing my breakfast when my back kitchen door was violently kicked open.

"Everybody freeze!" Tony barged into my kitchen screaming like a lunatic. I hold onto my throat as I choke in abject surprise.

"Oh shit!" Johnny pounced up and begins slapping on my back.

"You've all been caught red handed," Tony cries again.

"We don't give a fuck!" David yelled back at him.

"Help her! She's chocking!" Sara crises in distress.

Johnny puts me in the Heimlich maneuver and presses with all his might, I yack up a tone of milk and cereal before I am able to breathe properly.

"Don't try and act all innocent!" Tony says dastardly.

"We're really not" Kevin says in a bored tone. "What do you want?"

Tony glared at Kevin, "You're the boyfriend," he sneers at him.

"Indeed I am" Kevin says proudly, puffing out his chest.

"Not for long" Tony mumbles.

"For Gods sakes man!" I yell out, "You almost made me died on fucking cereal! I would much prefer Loki being the one to take my life!" I shake my head to try and get rid of the pain as I sat back down, "What do you want?"

"For everyone here to follow simple instructions," Tony says alittle harshly and angrily, "Why can't any of you understand that you all being here puts Vick in danger?"

"Wait a minute, hold up." David stepped forward, "I understand how Johnny can be a threat, he's fucking Johnny, but how are any of us a threat" David points at the rest of them.

Tony indicated to Kevin, "Brother of Deadpool?"

"You're not taking away my boyfriend!" I growl at him as I push up from my seat.

"I'm sorry Vick but he has to go," Tony says unapologetically, "They all do," he indicated to the rest of my friends.

"Who made you judge and jury!" Johnny roared at Tony unexpectedly. "You don't just get to come into her life and pick and choose!"

"Yes I do," Tony says stubbornly.

"No, you don't!" I shout at him, "Reed was my guardian, now he's not. I'm a free woman, man!"

"Not really," Tony says smugly, oh no, what's about to happen?

Tony walks further into the kitchen, he wasn't wearing his suit but it stood in the doorway behind as a sort of metallic body guard.

"You see, dear Vicky" he rhymed. "Reed didn't give up custody of you...he switched it"

"Say what?" I look at him...dumbfounded.

"He switched it over to me" Tony says triumphantly.

I heard glass shatter.

"No fucking way!" Johnny roared in abject anger. "Reed would never!"

"Well, he did." Tony says dismissively. "And now it's time for me to break off this group"

"Huh?" I squeak.

"First let's start with the boyfriend" Tony says.

"Nothing you can say or do will ever make me leave my honey bunnies side" Kevin came and stood behind me, rubbing his nose against my cheek as I squeal and cry for him to stop it!

"Oh my stars" Tony recoiled at us, "Please don't make me lose my lunch, please!"

I snuggle back to Kevin and kiss him soundly on the lips, and as soon as I did so I felt guilty, and I did not risk even peeking at Johnny. Why was I feeling guilty for kissing my own boyfriend? Or was I guilty because I felt like kissing Kevin was cheating on Johnny instead of the other way round?

All these emotions, all these confusions.

"Well, Wade's back" Tony says simply and watches with satisfaction as Kevin freezes up. "His mission with the president went well, but..."

"But!?" Kevin had by now completely forgotten about me, he shoved me aside and went to stand infront of Tony, hungry for answers.

Tony smirked, "He lost his head, or more like it got chopped off" he says. "He's holding it with him while a new one grows back but he's in down town New York right now rampaging around wildly and scaring the locals."

"Ouh shit!" Kevin bolts from the kitchen to leave, afew moment later, probably once he got all his clothes, "I better get to him before the psycho medic cops do! Love you babe!" the front door slams shut.

"Some boyfriend" Johnny snickers.

David chuckles too.

"What are you laughing about, heartbreaker?" Tony rounds on him. "You shouldn't even be standing in this room after what you did."

"What did he do?" Sara asked cautiously after a moment of silence.

Tony just snaps open his phone, dials something and a hovering orb device detaches from his suit and levitates over to the middle of the room. A green projection appears and illuminates the mid-section of the air-space. It looked like it was projecting a program of the TV news.

"And joining us here today is David Grant," Jim say proudly, sitting next to Jill. You'd think he'd have insisted on making the network fire her, seeing as how violent she was towards him. "And boy do we got some interesting news for you!"

"Now David," Jill says to David sweetly. "New Years eve was quite an eventful day for everyone"

"Yes it was" David says charmingly.

When did he even do this? I don't remember David mentioning an interview.

"There was chaos all over the stage that night," Jim interjected. "It was such a spectacle to watch!"

"Well I wouldn't call it chaos" David corrects.

"So would you say it was all staged, faked, a lie" Jim asked rapidly.

"No" David says quickly in reply.

"No it was or no it wasn't" Jim fired back.

"It wasn't" David says confidently in an annoyed tone.

"So your band was a complete uncoordinated mess on stage and almost cost the whole viewing world the traditional New Year's Kiss?" Jim shot next.

"Well, I wouldn't say uncoordinated" Kevin fidgets in his seat. "More like things played out differently than we expected"

"Jim, that's enough questions for one day" Jill said sweetly.

"Just one more question, honey" Jim waved her off, "Any comments about the New Year's kiss with Sara Lincoln?"

"Durh, uhm..."David instantly froze up, "W-what about it?"

"Is she really in love with you? Seem kinda cliché the whole 'in love since childhood thing' don't you think?" Jim says, then smiles evilly, "Unless...you love her back?"

"What!? Noooo, no, no" David was visibly sweating now. "I don't love her, she doesn't love me. We're not like that, we're just friends, bestfriends. The kiss didn't mean anything, it was just for show, for the audience" he says rapidly.

I facepalm myself, so that must be why he never told anyone.

"Dear God, David you butt head, what did you do?" I say viciously in his direction.

Sara sprang up from her seat at the dining table, her eyes rimmed with tear fit to pour. She doesn't even go get her things she races out the back kitchen door, shoving Tony's suit aside (how she managed that, I have no idea).

"Sara, wait!" David bolts after her.

A second ticked by.

"Well, that's your band broken up. No more risk of you being in the spotlight and dragging unwanted attention." Tony says smugly. "Three down, two to go."

"Why are you being such a dick?" Bridgette hissed at him.

"Hmmm, Bridgette Rogers, is it?" Tony inquired.

"Yes" she piped up with her arms on her hips.

"You've apparently went missing because you practically moved into the Baxter Building with Johnny," Tony says aloud.

I feel a pang of hurt. She moved in? Did she replace me?

"So? It was my own consensual decision," she fires in his face. "Johnny didn't kidnap me or anything."

"I don't think the cops will see it that way," Tony says.

"How so?" she lifts her chin up in defiance.

"Because your mother is home"

Bridgette's eyes widen in abject terror, I had no idea what was happening but she screams in panic and races into my living room. She piled her clothes on top of her pajamas in 0.2 seconds and was out the door with her bag barely in hand.

It was only Johnny and I left, now I began to worry.

But I feel Johnny's hands graze over my shoulder and ease me into a chair, I am uneasily reminded of my barf on the floor that I'd need to clean up later. He sits next to me and looks up confidently at Tony, arms folded.

"Nothing you can say or do to me can make me leave like the others." Johnny simply says, "I am not leaving Vick's side," he continues forcefully.

"I thought so" Tony says arrogantly. "So I devised a more...long term solution."

Johnny leans forward and glares at him.

"What are you up to, Stark?" he says darkly.

Tony cleared his throat, and as if on cue the floating orb changed images to reveal a floral banner.

"In this coming months I plan to host a Spring Gala where I unveil my latest, and last, invention. Before shutting down Stark Industries"

That surprised me.

"About time," Johnny huffs, "Stark Industries has done nothing but poison and damage the world."

"The Gala also marks your going away party," Tony adds, ignoring Johnny's initial comment.

"What?" Johnny and I both say in unison.

"You two can hang together all you want, but coming this spring Reed and I have planned for the Fantastic Four to go on an investigative and research based space expedition?"

"A space expedition?" I say in awe. Man, would I love to go on that.

"Big deal" Johnny blows raspberries. "We'll be in space and back, no biggie no problem" he says assuredly.

"Yes, but this isn't a normal expedition." Tony corrects, "Your teams is currently tracing down signs of the cosmic ray, and me and Reed have located it's possible source origins."

"Possible!?" I echo, "And where could it 'possibly' be?" I sarcastically make quotation signs.

"The next galaxy"

I couldn't help but gasp. I look over at Johnny in abject fear, and he gives me back the same look. We don't look back at Tony as he continues to speak.

"During the duration of the expedition I'm confident you, Vick, will be able to move on with your life and build one outside of Johnny, The Fantastic Four, and anyone else you know and love today. Who knows, if we're lucky, I might even relocate you"

I lift up my hand and hold it out to Johnny, he reaches back out and holds mine steady. He'll be gone in space, probably won't even be able to communicate with me from the distance, or worst, he won't be allowed to. I couldn't bear the thought.

"How long will he be gone?" I choke out. I refused to cry, especially not in front of an unfeeling dickhead bastard like Tony.

"Oh...Reed and I calculate a minimum of..." he checked his phone for confirmation. "2 years."

I think I black out.

Author's Note

You must be pretty dedicated to Robert Downey Jr. if you can still like him after this chapter XD

Even I hate him...and I freaking love Tony Stark dude!

And also, another thing I forgot to put in the last chapter, I've decided on whom to play Sara!

Thanks to @Aravinus...again!...for suggesting to me Myrcella from Game of Thrones (among thousands of others XD), cause as soon as I pictured her she was perfect for Sara!...right down to her death scene...

I'm kidding.

So everyone, I am proud to officially state that Nell Tiger Free is very own Sara Lincoln. And also the reason why I even gave her the last named Lincoln was because Myrcella Baratheon as we all know is supposed to be Myrcella Lannister...so I couldn't just name Sara, Sara Lannister, that's alitle too obvious.

Therefore, Lannister = Lincoln.

Just some random useless information for all you lovelies <3<3<3

(FYI, yes that is her has the chapter cover photo. I just realized/learned how to insert pictures in the middle of Wattpad chapters #FeelingSoOld)

Don't forget to vote, comment and share!

And I love you all as though you were all flavors of ice cream!

Peace!

~Ya Gal Vicky!
