Tada! A new story! Well possible one/two shot, maybe multi chapters. Depends on if you guys like it or not. I've had this one up my sleeve for some time now and I think, at least I hope, you will. I do. Anyway finally a marvel story! As I said before I hope you guys enjoy it, I'll stop taking up your time now. On with the story!
"Oh fuck…Katie!" she jumped, getting up quickly and ran out of her bedroom and into the main room.
"Tony? What's wrong?" She asked looking him over. His face was pale and his hands were shaking slightly. "Tony?" She called hesitantly. Tony, hearing his name, looked up from the paper in his hands. "Are you okay?"
"No, not okay. Not okay at all." He responded quickly.
"Well Tony what's wrong?"
"School." Tony stated simply.
"School?" Katie repeated.
"School."
"And what about school?" Katie asked exasperatedly.
"Here" Tony said giving her the paper, marching over to the couch and plopping down.
"Dear Mr. Stark…" Tony snorted causing Katie to look up at him and raise an eyebrow. She looked back down to the paper and continued reading. "We are pleased to inform you that our 20 year anniversary of our graduating of Harris High! Please come and celebrate with us on this special occasion to relive and enjoy a week of your old high school days as you happily share it with our new class." She stopped for a moment hearing Tony groan. "You will be allowed a plus one. No one else to be admitted without reasonable cause. We hope to see you soon Mr. Stark, along with our new graduating class." Katie finished reading and looked up at her husband. "So?'
"So?"
"Yeah, so?"
"So? So they want me to go!"
"Okay… I'm not seeing the problem here." Katie said confused.
"High school sucks! I spent four years trying to get out of that hellhole and now they want me to go back. Oh God they want me to go back!" Tony shouted covering his face with his hands. "For a week!"
"Tony baby calm down." Katie said walking up to him and lacing her hands on his shoulders. "Take a deep breath." Katie told him and he listened. "Good. Now tell me what's wrong."
"I hate high school." Tony sighed.
"But why? I always thought you liked high school. Didn't you say you had a lot of friends?" She asked confused buy his sudden confession.
"I'd hardly call any of them friends." Tony scoffed.
"Well weren't you popular?"
"Well yeah, I was the rich kid with no parents around, an empty mansion, and hot cars. Obviously I was pretty popular." Tony replied while rolling his eyes.
"So you didn't have any friends?" Katie asked sadly thinking about lonely teenaged Tony.
"No I did. Kind of… I had Bruce. He was my only real friend. I mean I thought in had a few more at the time but…"
"But what?" Tony looked at her.
"They were jerks. They'd lie and use me to get what they wanted."
"Which was your…"
"Yup. They all just wanted to be popular. Be 'The Tony Stark's best friend'. Thought it would be good for them, their reputation. But all it did was make me resent them, and make them so much easier to use. Teachers hated me too. I was what they called a 'troublemaker'. Always said I would amount to nothing. That I would just use my father's name." Tony said bitterly getting up to go to the kitchen.
"So you're not gonna go?" Katie asked following him and hoping up onto the countertop, watching him grab some type of candy.
"No! Why would I?" Tony asked popping a piece of what Katie realized was some more of his dried blueberries. Just then a thought struck her.
"Oh no reason. Just thought you'd want to prove them wrong is all." Katie said slyly as she hopped down, slowly waking away.
"What?" Tony asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh you know. Show up, show them what a success you are and make them eat their words. Ya know, show them they were wrong." Katie finished with a soft smile.
"Hm." Tony looked at her, thinking it over. "Ya know. That… could be fun I guess."
"Yeah. You can show them what they missed out on." Katie said walking over to him. "Getting to know one of the greatest men I've ever known." Tony smiled.
"Thanks Kate."
"Anytime Tone. Now are you going?" Katie asked hopefully.
"Why are you so set on me going anyways?" Tony inquired popping a blueberry into his mouth.
"No reason." Katie answered too quickly for Tony's liking.
"No, no you tell me. Why do you want me to go to this stupid reunion thing?"
"Tony," Katie whined pleadingly.
"Katie." He whined back at her eating more blueberries.
"Fine. I never had one okay? I'll never have one. You know I never 'went' to school because of my extensive…training with my father. He never let me and with the whole 'super powered freak' thing, he never even considered it. I've just always wanted to go to school and make friends and just experience what I'd seen in movies. And I know how important it is to go to these things and experience new things while you still can. And besides think about it, how many times can a child say 'I met Tony Stark!' you'd be making some kids week and it's for a really good cause Tony." Katie finished smiling.
"Yeah." Tony started to smirk. "I am pretty awesome, and it never hurts to meet a fan."
"So you'll go?" Katie asked once again hopeful.
"Yeah I'll go, but on one condition." Tony quickly added seeing her about to cheer.
"What?" Katie asked cocking her head to the side. Tony dropped his slightly raised hands to his sides with a serious look on his face.
"You have to go with me."
"What?" Katie asked not expecting that to be what he asked for. "Are you serious?"
"Totally serious." Tony's expression still not changing.
"But… aren't you going to take Bruce?" Katie asked very hesitantly.
"No. Well yes he's going, I'll make him, but yeah. I want you there. You're the one who talked me into going. Besides," Tony walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Where would I be with out my greatest accomplishment?"
"Aw Tony, that's so sweet." She smiled wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a quick kiss.
"Plus it would be nice and I'd love to make everyone jealous and show off my smoken hot wife." He said stepping back and twirling her around before holding her close again.
"Of course you would Tony." Katie replied placing her hands on his chest. "So you're really going?
"Yes." Tony answered.
"And you're really taking me?" she asked getting excited.
"No, I just asked you to get your hopes up. Of course I'm taking you!" Tony replied sarcastically before cracking a smile at when she squealed and jumped for joy.
"Oh yes! Thank you Tony! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she squealed again breaking away from him and rushing to the stairs, Tony following.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Katie stopped, turning around to face him.
"To find something to wear duh." Katie replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Then she smirked "You should come with me. Then I could give you your own little show." She said leaning on the railing and placing a hand on her hip. She winked at him. "It'll be fun."
"I'm so there. You had me before you even started talking."
"I've had you for a while now." She smirked, leaning down towards him, giving him a slight view of her cleavage through her shirt. "And I'm not giving you up anytime soon." Tony squinted at her.
"Are you teasing me?"
"Maybe a little." She shrugged standing strait and walking further up the stairs. Tony just stared at her as she tuned her head looking back at him over her shoulder.
"Coming?" smirking at her innuendo he replied.
"Not yet but just you wait, you'll be doing it before I do."
"Yeah right. You're faster than Barry Allen on a good day!" she said laughing.
"Why you little… come here!" tony shouted running up the stairs.
"Yeah come and catch me Iron Flash!" Katie squealed as he chased her into their room. Tony tackling her on the bed and tickling her mercilessly until she mentally made him stop as she grabbed his face and kissed him.
So? How'd you like it? I know there are some things in here that don't add up to the original story for Tony but I'm taking it and warping it into my own. Tony and Bruce went to school together and yes, Tony completed all four years. I thought that'd be interesting. I've also been thinking of writing about their high school days. You guys let me know what ya think and maybe I'll do it. Anyways thanks for reading! Also for those of you who caught it, I know it's supposed to be Green Lantern but I found it funny. For those of you who don't know...go search up Iron Lantern and have a good laugh.
