Okay, so...Endgame broke me.
Yeah.
So, in order to cope, I took random stories from Tumblr and turned it into this multichapter story to help ease the pain. I hope this is as therapeutical to you as it was for me.
(jk I'm still ruined and in denial.)
Disclaimer: I do not own this, otherwise Endgame never would have happened.
Tony was stumped.
And no, he was not trying to be funny by making a pun about his surroundings.
This generation...he was just thoroughly conufsed by all of them. Every last one. Sure, all people were crazy and each generation created it's own special breed of insanity, but Gen-Z? (as he had learned from Peter. Though he still prefers to call them Gen-IN for Generation Insanity and for being relatively nihilistic)
Gen-Z was definitely...special.
He was out for a walk in the woods at his farm, with Peter and Shuri. They were in the house, and as per usual, the two younger occupants were talking his ear off.
One of them was bad enough, but two?
Basically, Pepper wanted a break, and subtly let Tony know about it. So here they were, the three of them, in the middle of the forest. Now comes the part where Tony is eternally baffled by this younger generation. He heard a subtle gasp beside him, noticing that Peter had stopped behind them.
Shuri kept on, not even noticing, but Tony stayed back.
"What is it, kid?" Peter seemed in awe, a slightly dopey grin on his face as he pointed towards a snake on the ground. The sun glistening off of it's smooth and striped back.
"What a beautiful snek," Tony frowned.
"...what?" But Peter was oblivious.
"'S so smooth. The cutest snek." What the hell?
"Snake?"
"Snek,"
"Snake."
"Snek." Peter confirmed but Tony wouldn't have it.
"It's a snake, for God's sake, Peter." By this time Shuri had come back, realizing she had left the others behind. Grateful for someone to help him prove to Peter what this creature actually was called. "Shuri," He gestured towards the animal, waiting.
"Oh, look, a snek." She said, and even had the nerve to say it casually. Like this was normal. What the actual hell?
"That's it; I'm leaving. You two stay here with your-," He pasued, gesturing widly. "Your snek. I'm heading back," And with that he left the two baffling teenagers behind.
Oh, how they irked him sometimes.
But as he walked away with his back turned to them, he allowed a small smile to cross his lips at the sound of their laughter.
Yeah. I'm broken. And this is unnecessarily short.
And because of that, I'm turning this into a multichapter story as you saw above lol. So stick around for more, kids. Let's all be broken together. :)
