School age kids + Teens
Is it just me, or is it weird that school starts here for the year on a Thursday? [AKA tomorrow.]
[Tower Spam -Open to Multiples]
He'd woken from a nightmare gasping for breath. Another second stuck in it and he probably would have been screaming himself awake. It's not surprising, really, given the events of the last couple weeks. It just isn't something he's had dreams about in awhile now. More recently his nightmares had been about Uncle Ben dying, about being buried under rubble, and this dream had incorporated a lot of stressful events all into one which wasn't pleasant, to say the least.
He thinks the dread of going to school in a new place factors in, too, since the entire dream had been set in a school he didn't recognize.
Whatever the exact reasons, he's awake now. And after trying unsuccessfully for over an hour to go back to sleep, he makes his way out of his room in the tower, wearing a shirt that's two sizes too big and a pair of flannel pajama pants. He's not hungry, he's not thirsty...he's not anything, really, even though he finds himself in the huge communal kitchen. He actually contemplates going back to his room, tugging on his Spider-Man suit and going out to see if there's any trouble outside.
Instead, for the moment, he finds himself leaning against the kitchen island, drumming his fingers, lost in thought.
