Let's see what happens when you put these 3 eleven year olds together for a summer. - EC

1992

I sat on the edge of my bunk silently waiting for my roommates to show up. I hoped that I would become good friends with them. My parents used to send me here for the summer, every summer before they died. The door burst open suddenly and I jumped slightly. The boy had dark hair and was wearing sunglasses although it was a little dreary outside today. I got off my bunk to greet him.

"Hi, I'm Bruce." I said and I shoved my hand towards him. He looked at it then put his bag on one of the bunks gens gently.

"Tony." HE said and he shook my hand. He silently started to open his bag and started unpacking things. I glanced at my area which I had already organized then turned to close the door. This is gonna be a long summer, I thought to myself. I found myself staring at what Tony had brought with him. He had some sort of mechanical device laid out in pieces on his bed.

"What is that?" I asked pointing to one of the pieces he was figuring with.

"It's a computer." Tony responded. A new kind of computer. I invented it and I'm going to install it here."

"Why?" I asked quietly and Tony stopped working and looked at me.

"Haven't you always wanted a computer Bruce?" He asked with a smirk. The door burst open again.

"Hey party people. Ready to make this camp better than the one for the even richer kids?" The boy who was standing in the doorway asked.

"Sure." I said with a shrug.

"Ok." Tony mumbled. This kids did have a point, tis camp was for kids who's parents are extremely wealthy. But as far as I know, there wasn't another even richer kids camp. I decided not to spoil it for him.

"I'm Britt." He said.

"Bruce." I said and offered my hand. He dropped his pillow on the ground and shook my hand.

"Tony." Tony said as he glanced at Britt quickly. Britt dropped his bag on the ground and walked over to Tony. "IT's a computer." He explained as he picked it up.

"That's awesome." Britt said and Tony put it back on his bed. He walked over to the light switch with a screwdriver and popped the cover off it then took the switch out of the wall itself. Britt and I watched closely as Tony took his little computer and placed it where the light switch was. He attached ot tp the wall then it started by itself.

"Welcome home Mr. Stark, Mr. Wayne, and Mr. Reid. My name is JARVIS."

"This is so cool!" Britt said.

"You made this?" I yelled.

"Yup." Tony answered plainly.

"How? Are you like a genius or something?" Britt asked.

"Not really, but I do very well in school. My dad made me come here to get away from the technology and stuff." Tony answered.

"Well, we can see that's working." Britt mumbled.

"What's your guys' stories?" Tony asked as he put away his extra pieces. I sat down on my bunk and Britt moved his bag onto his.

"My parents would always send me here when I was smaller. I haven't come in the past few years though. It's good to be back." I said. "Good to get away from Gotham for awhile." I added.

"Gotham? Gotham City? Wait, so your Dad runs Wayne Enterprises?" Tony asked me and I nodded. Tony showed approval of some sort. "How 'bout you Britt?"

"Me?" Britt asked and he sat down on his bunk. "Well, my dad is a dick. He runs this newspaper and all so he doesn't see me all that much and when I have the chance to spend the whole summer with him, he send me away." Britt said.

"What about your mom?" Tony asked.

"My mom died when I was 7." Britt said quickly.

"I know how you feel." I added.

"How? That's a really hard feeling." Britt said.

"Well, I." I started then tried to piece together how I was gonna say this. "My parents were both murdered in front of me." I shook my head and Tony and Britt stayed silent. "That's why I've been gone the past couple years. They left me the entire company, when I'm old enough.

"Man, that's gotta be hard." Britt said after awhile and I nodded.

"I'm from Malibu." Tony said changing the subject. "I surf sometimes, not really that much though. I don't really like it.""

"Hey, I'm from L.A. Do your folks get the Daily Sentinel? The newspaper?" Britt asked Tony.

"Yeah, I think so." Tony answered.

"That's my Dad's newspaper. Their office is really cool. I only get to go there when I'm in trouble though and my dad has to yell at me for something." Britt rambled on.

I listened to the quiet silence of the country outside. It was so much different here than at Gotham, I was really going to miss this peaceful nights. The only light in the room came from the soft glow of the little computer named JARVIS where the light switch used to be.

"Hey dudes." Britt whispered and I sat up in my bunk.

"Jarvis, turn up a little bit of light." Tony said and the room became slightly visible. I could just make out Tony and Britt in the light.

"OK, so." Britt started. "Since it's like the last night of camp and all, we should make some kind of agreement or something like that."

"You mean like a pact?" Tony asked.

"Exactly like a pact." Britt responded.

"Well ok, about what?" I asked.

"The future, maybe?" Tony offered.

"I got one." Britt said. "How about we all agree that when we grow up we're gonna kick evil in the nuts."

"What?" I asked only understanding half of this.

"Like a superhero. You know, like superman. You guys read comic books sometimes right?" Britt asked.

"Yeah, but superman had powers. He was from Krypton." Tony argued.

"Tony, we all have enough money to make it to Mars and back 12 times." Britt responded. Tony and I looked at each other.

"How about we just share our addresses and phone numbers?" I offered. "And we can keep in touch that way at least." If there was one thing I learned about Britt this summer, it was the fact that he was always scheming about something and always got a little out of hand.

"That sounds reasonable." Tony agreed.

"No superheroes then?" Britt asked. Tony and I didn't respond. "So it's a maybe? You'll think about it?"

"Yes." Tony and I responded in unison.

"Jarvis, lights out." Tony said and then flipped on his side in his bunk to face the wall. The lights went out completely and the only light was the glow from JARVIS again.

"I think it's a good idea." Britt mumbled to himself.

Britt and his crazy ideas. This plan was never set in stone and they all forgot about it, but it happened anyways.
