"Ms. Carrie?" JARVIS called her as she was in her room reading a book and minding her own business.

"Yes, Jarvis?" She lifted her head up from her book.

"Mr. Stark needs you in his lab for a moment"

She sighed, "Okay"

She hopped off her bed and ran quickly all the way down to the lab. She didn't know what Tony wanted but she wasn't gonna find out until she got to the lab. She hoped it went quickly because she was eager to find out what happens in the book she got from the library.

"Tony? You called for me-"

"THINK FAST!" He yelled, throwing a baseball at her, only for her to stop it with her telekinesis.

"Woo that never gets old" He chuckled. Grabbing the floating ball and throwing up and down in the air with one hand, putting it down.

Carrie rolled her eyes and shook her head, sighing. She didn't know how she kept falling for that every time he'd call her down to the lab, guess she's gotten used to it by now.

"Do you know why I do that, Carrie?"

"Yes, why?"

"Because I know how more alert you're getting everyday, I mean, you could probably stop a bullet in a second"

She gasped heavily, flinching.

Tony chuckled at his own joke, "Relax, kid. I'm only joking"

She sighed in relief, but she knew that what he was saying was the truth. Ever since she started going to Professor Xavier's school, she felt herself getting more stronger and more control of her powers, not that they were out of control to begin with but she still had slight trouble controlling them.

"So you called me down to the lab for something?"

"Why yes, yes I have, we need to talk"

"Oh? What is it? Did I do something wrong? Am I in trouble?"

Carrie has never gotten into trouble, at least not that she knows of, but she's always been well behaved and respectful.

"Woah woah! Hey! Stop right there kid, you're not in trouble or anything, nor am I mad at you"

Carrie sighed in relief.

"What? You thought I was gonna punish you or something?" He chuckled. "Of course not, you're a good kid after all and never once have given me any problems"

He sat on a chair and sighed, " Okay, Care bear. You know you can tell me almost anything right?"

"Yes?"

"So you know I'm 100% okay with you dating Peter, he's a good kid"

Her eyes widened, "What? Oh no, please. Not this again"

"Come on, You don't have to hide your relationship anymore, no need to pretend you're friends around me" he nudged his elbow on her arm, winking.

This was the fourth time this month Tony has asked her this and it was getting pretty annoying considering they're just friends.

Carrie met Peter a while back, she just came back from Xavier's school and went down to the lab to look for Tony and let him know that she was home. Since Peter hasn't seen Mr. Stark in a while, he had no idea who she was, at first, he thought she was her niece whom was staying over for the weekend, but then when he was told that she was adopted, he was surprised. He also felt a little jealous too that she was taken in by his mentor, Tony Stark. However, they did manage to get along and become good friends.

Apparently, that wasn't the case for Tony, who doesn't get that just because a boy and a girl are good friends doesn't mean they automatically are dating or have romantic feelings for each other.

Sure, Carrie thought he was cute and very smart but that doesn't mean she likes him in that way.

"But I don't like Peter like that, he happens to be a very good friend. I already confirmed this many times" She protested. "And I'm pretty sure he feels the same as I do"

"Yeah, suuure. That's what they all say" He smirked and rolled his eyes. "You don't think I seen the way you guys look at each other? Or what about the time you guys were so close to kissing, hmm?"

"He had something in his eye and I help him get it out" She told him.

"Yeah, uh huh, sure you did"

Carrie sighed, slight irritation, "He told me that he deeply liked someone already but moved away and doesn't like anyone at this moment" she explained, and that was the truth. He told her that he was in love with a girl named Liz Allen from his school, whom unfortunately moved away thanks to an incident involving her father and his crimes.

"I don't know, Care, some guys your age move on pretty fast" He winked. "And red flag! Why would he tell about who liked after you met him? Seems very, how do you kids say nowadays? Very sus to me"

Carrie cringed at his attempts to use modern slang, "I hate when he does that, just no" she thought.

"I think i'm getting good at this modern slang thing, trying to keep up you know?"

"Good is not the word I would use, to be honest"

"Anyways, back to the subject. Listen, as I said before, If you and Peter like each other, that's totally fine with me."

"I don't like him, Tony!" She protested.

"Awww still denying your feelings, huh Goldilocks? how sweet" He pinched her cheeks, teasing her.

She growled, "But we don't-"

"Hey Mr. Stark!"

They turned around and saw Peter standing there, holding his backpack and smiling like he just got a new puppy.

"Oooh, hello Peter. What are you doing here at this lovely day?" He winked at Carrie, who scoffed.

"Umm? I just wanted to visit you, I guess You said I could since you aren't busy at the time"

"Does May know you're here?" He asked.

"Yes sir, I told her I was gonna do my homework here" He told him. "Oh hey, Carrie"

"Hello Peter" She slightly waved.

He raised an eyebrow and noticed Carrie's face was tomato red, "Mr. Stark, why is Carrie's face red?"

"Oh, she ate some hot peppers but she's okay now" He lied. Carrie glared at him in annoyance.

"Oooh okay! So anyways, You'll never guess what happened to me! I got an A+ on-"

"Yeah, that's great kid! I'll leave you two kids alone while I go, um, get something" He winked at Peter and Carrie, Peter was the most confused. "Make sure you guys use chapstick and try to make sure the flowers you have in your backpack are plastic, no girl wants dead flowers!" He teased.

"Wait what?! Mr. Stark, wait a sec-" But he left before he could ask on what he means.

Carrie covered her face and groaned.

"What's going on, Carrie?" He questioned, "Why is Mr. Stark acting so weird? And why does he think I have flowers with me?"

Carrie sighed and shook her head, "He…. thinks we are dating"

"WHAT?! That's ridiculous! Not that dating you would be, I mean, because you're such a sweet, kind and p-p-pretty and stuff" He then began to blush too, rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh gosh, this is so awkward, uh, what makes him think that we're dating?"

"Because we're such good friends and get along well, but apparently that's not the case because I'm a girl and you're a boy. This is the fourth time this month that he's asked me this and it's so annoying" She went on.

"Yikes! I can imagine. My aunt May would probably act the same way if I told her I had a crush on someone." He cringed at the thought just thinking about it, "and I really don't wanna know how she'd react"

Carrie sighed and sat on the chair, "I don't know what to do Peter, how do I convince him that we're not dating and don't have feelings for each other? I've told him about a billion times but he won't believe me"

He rubbed his chin and smiled, "You know, Carrie. I think I have an idea"

"What's that?" Carrie asked, eyebrow raised.

"Simple, we'll just pretend to be a couple and we'll go from there do and say outrageous things, I even have a little prank that'll make him go WHAT THE HELL?! Then he'll have to disapprove and wouldn't want us 'together' anymore"

Carrie giggled and said, "Okay"

Peter snickers, "Alright so here's what we're gonna do….. "

After Peter left, Carrie told Tony that she was "dating" Peter, and not to her surprise, he hit her with the "I knew it!" thing and finally stopped asking Carrie about it much to her relief. He fully "supported" them, That is until the last few days, he realized what strange things they were doing that weren't normal couple things.

One time he caught them in the room picking at each other's hair like they were monkeys or something.

Then another time, I saw them outside and Carrie was using her powers to make him float in the air and pretending he was a kite.

Then that other time, he heard them call each other strange "pet names" That didn't make any sense. Peter called Carrie his "little Xenomorph" And Carrie called him her "adorable tarantula".

It weirded him out but he tried his hardest to support them since he liked Peter so much and wanted Carrie to be happy.

That is, until this night happened.

Peter called Carrie one night and told her that he was gonna come over for dinner tonight and decide play a hilarious prank on Tony. She giggled thinking about it and loved it.

They couldn't wait to see the look on Tony's face.

"So, Peter, Carrie. How are you guys doing lately?" Tony asks, taking a sip of his wine.

"We are doing so well, in fact we're absolutely happy with each other" Says Peter. He wanted to laugh but successfully held it in and kept a straight face the whole time.

"In fact, Mr. Stark can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it kid? If you guys want me to take you to the movies this weekend then the answer is yes"

Peter chuckled, "That's not what I meant Mr. Stark."

He raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

"You see, I love your daughter so much and she is the light of my life, and I want to take this even further"

"Meaning?"

He reached into his pocket and pull out a ring, a plastic ring that he got from a crane machine but it looked so real.

The look on Tony's face was priceless.

"I want to marry your daughter" He announced, putting the fake ring on her finger.

"You want TO WHAT?!" He shouted, standing up and slamming his hands on the table.

"Tony, me and Pete-"

"HAVE THE BOTH OF YOU LOST YOUR FREAKING MINDS?!" He shouted, so loudly that Asgard could hear him. It scared the teens a little, they've never seen him that mad before.

"Carrie, Peter ask me this? How old are you? Oh right! TOO YOUNG! That's how old! Do you guys know what century it is? 18th? Nope! 17th? NOPE! It's THE 21ST CENTURY!" He ranted, then huffed, running his hand threw his hair.

"I cannot believe this! I mean, I CANNOT believe this!"

"Um," Peter snickered, "Mr. Stark-"

"Hey! Hey! The adult's talking right now!" He cut him off, "Do you have any idea what marriage is really like? Huh? Do you?"

"Tony-"

"Ooooh, you know what? Wait until Pepper hears about this, we are gonna have a long talk about this, young lady" He points his finger at Carrie.

"But Mr. Stark, listen, it was a-"

"Seriously, what went through your minds when you were thinking when you decided something like this? Huh? Tell me, right now!" He demanded.

"IT'S A PRANK!" They both yelled.

"And another thing- Wait, wait what?" He stopped ranting.

Carrie giggled, "it was a joke, we aren't really going to get married"

"Yeah! Carrie told me that she got tired of you asking if we were a couple, so I came up with this idea that we should pretend to be one and do all these weird usual couple stuff so you'll disapprove, but since it wasn't working, we decided to go take this even farther and say we're getting married" He explained.

Tony just stood there for a moment, shifting his eyes back and forth at the two teenager, then glaring and crossing his arms. "So all that stuff you guys did was…"

"Fake" Carrie said.

Peter chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Yep! All of that was staged. Funny right?"

Tony sighed and shook his head, pacing around the dining room.

"We're sorry Mr. Stark" Peter apologized.

"Yeah, we just got tired of you thinking we're a couple"

"Well, why did you just say so?!" He snapped at them.

"WE DID SAY SO!" They both shouted.

"I also told you plenty of times you have asked but you didn't believe me" Carrie said.

"I- I thought- But-" He sighed again, "You know what? I'm so done with you two" He shook his head.

"You're not mad at us, are you?"

Mad wasn't the word he would describe how he was feeling, he was feeling embarrassed but of course he won't admit that.

"Oh no, I'm not mad, definitely not. In fact, I'm gonna take some fresh air outside for while"

Peter looked at him confused, "Huh?! But-"

"We said we were sorry and didn't mean-"

But before they could say something else, Tony pushed his arc reactor and turned into Iron Man, flying out of the door.

The teens ran to the door and watched him as he flew out into the night sky.

"Mr. Stark wait! Oh man, something tells me that we went too far" He covered his face and shook his head.

Carrie sighed, "I better go check on him to see if he's okay"

Peter looked at his phone and saw that May texted him saying he needs to come back home.

"And I better get back home before aunt May gets worried. Night, Carrie"

"Yeah, Night Peter" With that, Carrie flew off into the sky.

"Happy!? I could use that ride back home now!"
