Peter grumbly sighs, after 2 months into the best summer ever, he's not ready for school yet. The boring Peter Parker is back.

_ Someone doesn't have a good morning.

Ned puts down his bag and sits next to Peter.

_ Do we, ever ?

Peter raises his eyebrow. Is there anyone on this earth, exciting in the morning ? If there is, please get rid of them out of his sight.

_ Ok team, I have an exciting news !! I'm exciting and I'm sure you will too.

There he is, Mr.Harrington, with an enthusiasm that brightens Peter already. The boy could've had a peaceful break if his teacher hasn't called them for 'emergency announcement'

_ To celebrate our first day back to school and to make up for the summer trip, we are going to the Stark Tower for a field trip !!!!

The whole Decathlon team buzz with exhilaration. To everyone, it's a dream to be able to vist the most advanced facility on earth today, everyone does not include Peter Parker. That moment when he can hear nothing but whizz, hello Parker's Luck, what an entrance huh ?

" What a glorious life, I'm killing myself right now "

_ Dude !!! THE Stark Tower !?? The one you're in right ???

Ned's over the moon right now so he looses his ability to read his bestfriend's commitment of suicide.

_ Great thing that you get to dismiss the rest of classes today. Prepare and meet me at the bus by 10.

The rest run to their classes to pack up their bag, leaving Peter and Ned at the table.

_ What am I gonna do about this !???

Peter rapidly whisper-yell.

_ What do you mean ? You have the chance to shut Flash down, once and for all.

_ But I don't want that ! Well, just a tiny bit but what if we meet the Avengers ? Tony Stark ? They're gonna mess me up more than you know !! I don't want the team to know that I know them !!

That similar voice he used when Ned caught him sticking on the ceiling.

_ .. Come on Peter, relax. We probably just visit the low floor and never ever an Avenger will be there right ?

_ .. Very likely..

_ Yes, so it's gonna fine. Enjoy the trip Peter.

_ .. That's what she said..

Peter sighs under his breath. Today is gonna be a long long day and he's already screwed.

________

_ Yo Parker, why won't you ask your old pal Tony Stark to greet us at the entrance.

Flash stops him when he tries to go silently to his seat. Thanks for his spectacular suggestion, no thanks.

_ What was that Eugene ? Oh never mind, bullshieet.

MJ stands behind Peter but stands up for him. A day would great if Flash's voice didn't go through her brain and destroyed every euphoric nerve fiber of her's.

_ Any thought of moving, loser ?

She glances at her friend's appreciated expression. Definitely gonna feed that stupid blowhard to the rabbits.

_ Being puffy all you want, you're gonna be busted, Liar Parker.

The boy lets out a long sigh of despair. Is it too late for him to jump out of the bus ? Ned took the window seat.. so he guess, no.

__________

The Decathlon team firstly arrive at the security booth outside of the groundwork which quite far from the Tower. They will need to have an access in order to go further. It might look like there's nothing but the security system that Tony, Bruce and him built, has covered the entire facility with energy nano shield, so its only way to enter is to be recognized by Friday.

_ Hello students, I'm Janice - your tour guide for today. As you can see, the security at the Stark Tower is extremely secure, so I will hand out your to-date badges and when I call your name, please step up so that the security system can recognize you. 11 people in total right ?

_ Can you check it again Ms.Janice ? It's actually 12.

Mr.Harrington says, wondering who is the mischance one.

_ Let see, there's one that doesn't need a badge here.. Peter Parker ?

Janice finds the name weirdly familiar. She looks at the crowd to find that young boy.

_ Peter ? You here ?

The young boy finally decides to raise his head and gives her a awkward smile for confirmation.

_ Haven't seen you for ages boy. You seriously have a field trip here ?

She smiles at the boy with sympathy. He's probably one of those rare people who understands this building more than anyone.

_ Y-yeah, I'm in class right now.

Peter can feel all the eyes focusing at him including Flash's and he's not even at the entrance yet !!!

Janice distracts the attention to the poor boy by calling the others' name. But when it gets to Peter's turn, the automatic robot voice changes into Friday's, which makes everyone startle.

" Hello Peter, don't you have school today ? Would you like me to inform Boss ? " - Friday.

_ No Fri ! Do not tell him, please. I'm on a field trip with my team.

" Ok Peter, but Bubba is on her way. She really miss you. "

Peter just sighs. If he had 10 bucks for everytime he sighs today, he would beat Mr.Stark's belongings. Becoming a billionaire is not that hard, especially when you use your misery.

_ Let's get going, shall we.

Janice grabs the attention and on going with her job.

They went through mostly exhibitions about the origin and the history about Iron Man and The Avengers. While everyone is focusing on Janice with her speech about the Tower's structure, Peter sneaks out as he feels something's off. He taps Ned to cover up for him and goes out to the hall.

_ Peter !!

Bubba whispers from a far and runs to his side when no one's looking.

_ Bubba heyy !! I'm sorry I'm in class right now so I can't hang out with you. Maybe after school ?

Peter sits down and gives her a tight hug. She's definitely a hugger.

Bubba shows a hint of sadness but when she's about to answer, a screen pops up in front of her face.

_ Bub, I thought we agreed that you would join me to fix my booster ?

Yeah that, that is the one he wants to avoid for the whole trip.

_ I'm sorry Mr.Stark, but I miss Peter. I'll give him another hug and return right away.

_ What do you mean ? Isn't the kid in school right now ?

Tony frowns confusedly.

Peter panicly tries to keep his finger at his mouth, implying her to not talk about him.

_ Ohhh, Peter told me not to tell you that he's here. Sorry Mr.Stark.

Bubba's innocence face kills Peter from deep deep inside. He slaps hard at his forehead, murmuring " I'm doomed " " Why am I even trying " " Should have jump out of the bus earlier "

_ Sup kiddo, care to explain why you're in the Tower ?

The sceen flips for Tony to face the sneaker.

_ Nooo, haha, who said I'm in.the.Tower.right.now ?!

Peter dreadfully tries to cover up at the very last minute.

_ Reallyyyy ? 'Cause that's different from the security footage that I'm seeing.

Tony raises an eyebrow at the boy, lying is never his strong point.

Peter looks straight at the camera on the wall. Nowhere to hide or run anymore, Parker.

_ Look, I'm on a field trip with my Decathlon team, in.here. So please, please Mr.Stark, do not crash this. I don't want my teammates to know.

Peter desperately whines, his weapon is ready to use, the 'puppy eyes'.

_ Can't guarantee that, Bambino.

Tony's softened at the boy but when he moves a bit to reveal his background, quite lively for a normal background isn't it.

_ .. Please tell me that they didn't listen the whole conversation..

_ It's you who upgraded the sound system last week. Too bad, Clint's already in the vent. Wonder where he'd go ?

Tony sniggers at the kid's disbelief. He has to pull up all the camera footages and records everything.

________

_ Dude, you ok ? You look like a dead person, wandering around to find another dead person.

Ned asks when Peter comes back to his side.

_ That's sound nice. Should I try that ?

Peter smiles gruesomely, he means it.

The team moves to the cafeteria to have lunch, which helps Peter to be more noticeable. The SI' interns approach and start a short conversation with him, jokes on us all, this is not the worst part. Peter was trying to enjoy his favorite taco when he suddenly spilled out the "oh no".

_ Hey there Tini Petite, enjoying your lunch ?

Clint abruptly drops out off the vent and makes everyone there scream loudly, except for Peter who didn't even budge.

_ Was, Robin Hood, was.

The boy ignores the hand on his shoulder. He wants to bury his face in the guacamole now.

_ Come on, where's the fun man. I stop by to say hi !!

The older man joyfully teases Peter. You can tell he's having a really good time.

_ Ned right ? Peter never stops rambling about you. Ooh I'm gonna go, Sam will kill me if I'm late again. See ya kid, Bucky will stop by to give you some snacks. He made mini pastries today, délicieux.

It was until the man completely disappeared that the whole team pulled back their minds.

_ You told Hawkeye about me !!??

Ned exclaims with his soulless expression.

_ Of course Ned, I told everyone about you.

Peter casually has a bite of his taco, he has made his conclusion for not giving a f-fondue ( gonna keep this Steve-friendly ) anymore. When life gives you lemon, you shrivel.

_ How much did you pay people for pretending to know you Parker ?!!

Flash yells out. Everyone can tell, he is pissed.

_ I'm broke, Flash. Who can even pay to work at SI ?

Peter bewilderedly excuses himself. See what he means, Human's logical instinct, vanished. But at least the team has shut up and known that his internship is real.

_ True. But doesn't mean that I lose !!! Wait until I receive the real internship here, I'll beat you down like I always do !!

His comment just makes Peter shrug.

_ Be my guest, I always need some help in the lab.

Maybe being sassy with Clint helps him a lot in common conversation now.

_ No one wants to help you Parker.

Flash annoyedly mumbles and choose to sit down. Such a big improvement.

The rest of the trip turns out quite easy, no interruption or any things. Bucky did give the boy his freshly baked pastries in a very subtle way, in the WC. Peter lets out a deep breath of relief, ok maybe it's not that bad, he was thinking worst. Flash shuts up for the whole trip, quite grumpy but he can't deal with what's real. Quote that.

Right when the team is about to enter the elevator to go down the entrance hall, an utterly familiar figure appears, the Au won't spoil by saying his name rhymes with 'stalk'

_ Who is Harrington in those kiddies ?

_ Oh my gosh it's Tony Stark and he knows my name.

Mr.Harrington froze because of the famous man in front of him. All of his teammates literally thought they died and went to another universe " Oh my gosh, It's Tony Stark !! "

_ Peter's teacher right ? The kid will return here after school anyway, so just drop him here.

Tony casually says while searching for the kid.

_ Y-you mean Peter Parker ??

Mr.Harrington asks again and turns to see the boy's hidden red face.

_ There's only one Peter here. May already called your boss, you know her ? Peter's aunt ?

The billionaire calmly has a conversation with the teacher.

_ O-of course Mr.Tony Stark.. If his guardian confirmed, it would be fine..

The aura scares Mr.Harrington a lot, he just had a conversation with freaking Tony Stark !!!

_ Good. Come kid, I don't have all day.

Tony holds out his hand, waiting for Peter to step out of the crowd.

_ Come on, you're terrible at hiding. Don't make me go down there.

Peter slowly pops up his head behind Ned, peeking through his friend's shoulder. After a good minute of the stare off competition, the kid gives up in front of his mentor's steely look. He goes through the crowd and stands next to the flaunting man. He's so embarrassed right now.

_ Ok, off you go.

Tony waves at the students.

_ Bye Pete, see you tomorrow.

Ned says in a tiny voice, he's overwhelmed with the billionaire's appearance.

_ Ted ? NED right ?

Tony frowns and points at the chubby boy, which makes Ned so close to fainting. The boy stutterly replies.

_ Y-yes sir.

_ Feel free to apply for an internship here. Peter told me lots about you, quite smart for you age huh ?

_ WHAT !!?? OH COME ON !!!

_ Shut up Eugene.

End chap.
