Avengers: Age of Ultron

I'm gonna try to put this in Peter's part in his involvement in the Avengers. Spiderman always had a big part of being part of the team's moral compass. This story is subject to change.

January 15th Stark Tower.

The secretary at the front of the room types away on her keyboard while sit here waiting for my appointment to be interviewed by Dr. Banner for the position of paid internship. When I reapplied for the spring semester, I went ahead and filled out applications to different places trying to get paid internship.

I just checked my mailbox to any replies and got responses from the Baxter Building and Stark Industries and several labs around campus. Strangely I got mail from Oscorp wanting to hire me. I immediately crumbled it and threw it away. There's no way I would ever associate myself or my family with these people again.

Its two minutes past the time for my interview. Either they're running or testing me. I hope I get this job. I don't want my aunt working two jobs to support us. And the Daily Bugle is getting their pictures more from this guy named Eddie Brock. I almost didn't want to get up this morning feeling sore and achy from my nightly activities. I felt nervous so went to my interviews with my father's glasses on. Which I have on right now.

I need something right now to help support us at home.

"Mr. Parker?"

"Yes ma'am?"

"Dr. Banner is ready to see you now. He is on floor 35."

I nodded to her and got up to head to the doors. Butterflies started to gather in my stomach. The doors slide open for the elevator. I stepped in and pressed the button for Banner's floor. Going up, my head started to go blank. What if I mess up? What if I don't get the job?

The elevator doors pinging my arrival got me out of my trance. I peeked out but didn't see anyone so I stepped off. I could hear some arguing ahead of me muffled by some machinery. I thought someone or Dr. Banner was supposed to meet me in an office of sorts. And I thought Dr. Reed's lab/office was messy.

"Good morning Mr. Parker."

"Whoa! Uh, who is that?"

"Please don't be alarmed Mr. Parker, I am JARVIS, Mr. Stark's AI program. I help run the building."

"Oh. That's pretty neat. So where's Dr. Banner?"

"Dr. Banner is currently engaged in a, well, a thorough discussion about a project that is leading to disagreements among other participants."

"Oh, well is it okay that I wait here till they're done?"

"Of course sir. There is a living area that I'm sure Dr. Banner would not mind you waiting in. Please follow the lights on the ceiling to the location. I apologize for the delay."

I shrugged my shoulders, not bothered with the delay. At least it's not a cold reception. "It's alright. Thank you for receiving me."

"It's a pleasure sir."

I followed the light patterns on the ceiling to the living area while Jarvis asked me if I wanted any refreshments. Answered with a 'no thank you' and reached the living area. It looked simple with some boxes lying around. It looks like either he was just moving in or was slow in unpacking.

"You may take a seat Mr. Parker. I will let Dr. Banner know you are here."

"Thank you." I took a seat and sat down on the sofa. I fumbled with the file containing my resume and letters of recommendation from my high school and college teachers from the fall semester. I looked at my watch to check the time. It's almost thirty minutes past eleven. I was supposed to be interviewed at 11:05. What's keeping him? And what was that argument about?

"Mr. Parker are you well?"

"Yes Jarvis, I'm okay. Why?"

"Well, you appear to be tired and stressed above the normal and your arms have some deep colored bruises. Shall I contact medical and alert Dr. Banner and Mr. Stark?"

"No, no, no, no, no. That's not necessary. It's just an accident at home. I'm fine. Please don't say anything." I jumped, pulling down my arm sleeves, subconsciously cursing myself for rolling my sleeves whenever I'm thinking hard like before.

"Are you sure sir? We can be discreet. Or is it a private affair?"

"Yes!" Pointing up to the wall, thinking that the A.I. is up there. "Yes, it is very, very private affair!"

"Does involve any criminal activity? That would hither you from getting considered for employment."

"No I don't do crime or anything like that. It was just an accident," I answered hoping he would drop it. "So, how is your day?"

"It is a very productive day Mr. Parker. Our business is doing well and helping to improve employment. Dr. Banner has been looking for a suitable assistant for some time now."

Assistant? "I thought this was an internship position?"

"It helps weed them out kid," said a voice behind me.

I shot out of my seat and turned to face a man in a lab coat at the entrance of the living area.

"You, uh, you're Dr. Banner?"

"Yes, I am. And you must be Peter Parker. I heard great things about you from your teachers. Especially your habit of being late to your classes."

I laughed nervously at his statement. "Uh yeah that too." This is not going well.

"Why is that?"

"Because I freelance photography for the Daily Bugle. I take pictures of Spider-man for them."

"So you take pictures for a newspaper that slanders someone who risks his life by saving people every day?"

"Unfortunately I do sir."

"Why?"

"Well there's no other way to put this sir. My aunt and I need the money. I want to help out as best as I can. That's why I take these pictures sir. Though I do hope I can get a different job to help pay the bills or get J. Jonah to change his mind about Spider-man."

Banner nodded his head in understanding and walked over with his hand extended to me. I shook his hand. "You got a strong grip there."

"Oh sorry." Retracting my hand.

"No that's fine. So uh do you want some lunch? I finished late with some of my colleagues and we're pretty starving. Would you like to join us? We're eating here and it's the least I can do for making you wait for nearly a whole hour."

"No it's alright."

"Come now I insist."

"Ok. Thank you."

We walked out of the living room and started heading our way to the elevator. We got in while Banner tells Jarvis to take them to the top floors. "I must warn you though some of my companions are, well, a little eccentric."

I nodded my head to him. The elevator dinged and we stepped off to a room with different people standing or sitting with a delicious smell in the air.

Mr. Stark noticed us first and came to greet us while everyone looked our way. Oh my God. The room is full of Avengers.
