[The sun was just about to set as Happy drove his car towards Caitlin's home. Although her father had left in the morning, Caitlin was busy going from jewellery shop to another jewellery shop. Trying to find the perfect gift for her mother. She smiled and looked down at the blue case in her hand. Caitlin lifted the lid as found a beautiful necklace, just for her mother. Not to mention, one of the most expensive ones she could find.]

"Wow, that's a beautiful necklace" Bloom said out loud making some other agree. However, Stella looked at the screen with a hint of jealousy, Caitlin had the perfect life. Although Caitlin had never met her true biological parent, Stella was rather jealous at the relationship with her step mother. Stella and her mother we're never close. If anything, her mother only prepared her for the burdens of the throne.
Caitlin: "Do you think she'll like it?"
Happy: "Not like, love." [Caitlin glanced at Happy with a smile before looking at the necklace and closing it. The two came to a top right in front of her home. She got out and waved to Happy, who waved back, and headed inside. Inside, Pepper was seen setting up some food for Caitlin.]
Caitlin: "Hey momma." [Pepper looks towards Caitlin and smiles as she walks up to her.]
Pepper: "Hey sweetie, I got your dinner ready for tonight. Do you want anything else?"
[Caitlin shakes her head gently before she reached the gift out towards her.]
Pepper: "What's this honey?"
Caitlin: "Open it." [Caitlin grins at her. Pepper raises an eyebrow at her before she opens it. Her smile falters completely. Caitlin stands there, looking at here, nervously.] "Do you.... Do you not like it?"
Pepper: "Sweetheart, I love it." [Pepper reached out for her, pulling her into a hug, to which, Caitlin accepted.]
Everyone smiled at the mother daughter duo. Pepper smiled at her once more, the moment she was born, she cherished her and raised her as her own. Even if she wasn't biologically hers.

[Later in the night, Caitlin was in her bed, tossing and turning in her sleep. The screen flashed bits of her dream or Nightmare. The first flash was Tony in a military car, drinking. The second flash a lot of tendrils of smoke. The third was a pair of blue lips]
"Wake up" [It whispered. Caitlin shot her eyes open and sat up strait, panting. Her eyes we're a frosty blue before they faded back to the normal brown they we're. She hadn't noticed what had happened to her eyes.]
"What was that?" Musa asked.
"We don't know" Bloom answered back for her. Tony looked towards the screen, worried.
[Caitlin brought her hands to her face, still panting until J.A.R.V.I.S spoke up in a low gentle voice, seeing as it was past midnight.]
J.A.R.V.I.S: "Ms Stark, is everything all right?"
Caitlin: "I... I don't know um..." [She puts her hands onto the bed, closes her eyes, and shakes her head] "Can you get the lab ready? Quietly?"
J.A.R.V.I.S: "Ms Stark, it is past Midnight."
Caitlin: "Please?"
J.A.R.V.I.S: "... Very well." [Caitlin smiles]
Caitlin: "Thank you."
"Wait, why does she want to go down to the lab?" Aisha asks, "It's past midnight." Everyone shrugs.
[Caitlin heads downstairs towards the lab, as the lights turn on automatically. She goes around the table as a hologram of a screen shows up]
J.A.R.V.I.S: "What would you like to do Ms. Stark?"
Caitlin: "Um... Could you start a separate file? For me?"
J.A.R.V.I.S: "Yes, of course, but may I ask why?"
Caitlin: "I... I don't know. I feel like... Somethings wrong..."
"She's not wrong about that one..."
[The next scene shows that it was morning and Caitlin was in the lap, asleep on the table as Pepper walks in, she pauses once she see's Caitlin fast asleep and smiles a little]
Pepper: "You are just like your father." [She whispers before getting a blanket and covering it around her."
Pepper smiles at the memory

- I truly apologize if this is really short. But I have been very busy with my studies. But I promise, I will try to make the chapters a little longer.
