"Damn it Tony you're gonna be late... again."

James "Rhodey" Rhodes was not having a very good day.

It was the first day of his junior year of high school and his best friend Tony Stark(who he was in charge of looking after for his very wealthy and incredibly busy father) was late.

It didn't help that vice-principal Coulson already had it out for Tony and by proxy Rhodey since he was Tony's best friend.

Rhodey looked down at his watch after a couple of minutes, there was about 5 minutes till school started.

"Damn it." Rhodey thought as he took out his phone and dialed Tony's number.

Meanwhile in another part of town a red ferarri zipped down the streets at breakneck speed. The driver was Tony Stark, Billionaire Playboy High School Student, the passengers in the backseat were three very attractive women; 2 blonde and 1 brunette, not that that was important or anything.

"Ready for school ladies?" Tony asked not taking his eyes off the road.

"Yes Tony." all 3 answered simultaneously.

"Good." Tony mused while showing his infamous Stark smirk.

And at that moment his phone started started to ring. Tony looked down from the road to pick it up from it's spot on the seat next to him. He frowned however when he saw the caller I.D displayed the name "Rhodey".

Tony rolled his eyes but nonetheless answered the phone after a few more rings.

"Hi mom." he answered in a deflated voice.

"Haha very funny, now where the hell are you? School starts in 3 minutes."

"I know, I know I had to pick something up. Do me a favor and save me a seat in between you and Pepper in the auditorium will you? Thanks. Ciao." Tony said.

"Tony!..."

"Nothing like good friends, eh ladies." Tony quipped to the girls as he hung up on Rhodey.

The three girls laughed and then screamed in joy as Tony revved the engine and sped up bolting down the road.

teve wandered through the rather large hallways of Lee Whedon high school rubbing the back of his neck with his left hand as he tried to navigate his way to the auditorium.

And he had about 2 minutes left until the assembly all students were mandated to go to would start.

Natasha said they would leave at different times so that Steve could get used to navigating the school on his own. It was a good idea he just turned out to have a breathtaking amount of bad luck as he got lost on the way.

Hey it wasn't his fault that the schools were a lot bigger than they were when he went to school.

He also happened to not be watching where he was going which, lead to him walk right into somebody. The collision left both him and this new stranger lying on the ground.

"Hey will you watch where you're going!"

"Sorry."

Steve looked up to see a man his age dressed in rather nice expensive looking clothes with a clean spiky haircut.

Steve got up and held his hand out for the man to take. The man however just got up on his own accord and dusted off his clothes.

"I'm Steve Rogers," he introduced himself holding out his hand for him to shake.

The man however didn't do the same.

"Tony Stark. The pleasure is all yours I assume."

Steve just raised his eyebrows in response. He got the feeling this was going to be a very long and very rough ride.

"That was a joke." Tony sighed and shook his head.

"Look as much as I would love to just stand here and talk I believe I have an assembly to attend."

"Do you know where the auditorium is?" Steve asked as Tony started to walk away.

"Probably behind the big door that says auditorium" said Tony as he walked over to said door down the hall.

"Well that's embarrassing," Steve thought to himself as he followed him in.

When he walked in he noticed that Tony went to go sit in between a black male and a girl with ginger-red hair.

He looked around and noticed a well built male in a flannel shirt with long blonde hair. He was sitting next to a petite brunette and a shorter gentlemen with black hair.

At the other end of the room he noticed a short young looking male with an equally young looking brunette wearing glasses who had her hair pulled up in a pony tail.

He stopped when he saw Natasha sitting off to the side walked over when he saw her motioning for him to come sit with her.

A couple of seconds later he was sitting next to her and he flashed her a smile which she reciprocated.

"Way to be on time Rogers." Natasha teased with a playful but sarcastic edge.

"Sorry I got lost."

He still wasn't sure what to think of Natasha,after all he had only met her about a day and a half ago. She seemed to be really nice but then at the same time she seemed rather cold and stand-offish. But for the most part he trusted her, even though he couldn't exactly explain why yet.

"You see any of our boys?" she asked looking forward.

"A couple but I don't remember their names off the top of my head," Steve admitted.

Natasha pointed to the blonde male from earlier that was wearing the flannel shirt.

"That's Thorton Odinson A.K.A 'Thor the God of Thunder'. The two people next to him are Jane Foster and Erik Selvig, both are model students with no criminal records of any sort."

She pointed towards the two younger looking people.

"That is Bruce Banner A.K.A 'The Hulk' and next to him is Betty Ross. She's the principal's daughter".

She finally pointed towards Tony.

"And that's..."

"Tony Stark... we've met." Steve interrupted none to enthusiastically.

Natasha blinked.

"Really. How'd it go?"

"Could have went better probably."

"What took you so long Tony?" asked the girl sitting next to Tony.

"Like I told Rhodey, Pepper I had to pick something up." Tony replied nonchalantly.

Pepper only raised her eyebrow at him.

"And you expect us to believe that." Rhodey chimed in with a raised eyebrow.

Tony rolled his eyes.

"Fine then, don't believe me. But you two should know that you have hurt me both deeply and emotionally, and I am now not going to talk either of you for the rest of the assembly," he huffed as he crossed his arms.

"Tony..." Pepper started.

"Not talking." Tony pouted rather childishly.

"Tony..." Rhodey gritted clenching his teeth.

"LaLaLaLaLaLALaLaLaLA! Can't hear you!"

"Oh god." Pepper groaned as she put her head in her hands.

"Shouldn't there be one more?" Steve asked.

Shield's youngest agent rummaged around the information stored in her brain for a second before she replied.

"Yes, there should be but I don't see him anywhere."

Natasha was interrupted when the whole room silenced as the vice-principal walked up to the podium.

"First of all I'd like to welcome you all back for another year here at Lee Whedon High School," Mr. Coulson the vice principal stated.

After a minute of silence he coughed and continued.

"This year you will all be expected to..."

Steve nudged Natasha in the arm halfway through his sentence.

"So that's the vice-principal."

Natasha nodded.

"Not only that but he's also our man on the inside."

Steve eyebrows rose up.

"Your kidding!"

"Nope he's the reason you and I are right here."

"Remind me to thank him later."

The red-head quietly laughed as she returned to listening to Coulson's speech. About 10 minutes later Coulson ended his speech and dismissed all the students for their first period classes. Steve and Natasha were walking side by side going over their schedules.

"It looks like we're in the same lunch, history, and chemistry classes." Natasha stated.

"Which are our 3rd, 9th, and 4th period classes," the super-soldier replied.

"What do you have first?" the fiery teen walking next to him asked.

"Algebra 2."

"Have fun."

"What do you have first Tony?" Pepper asked as the three friends strolled out of the auditorium.

"Looks like I've got Algebra 2, oh joyest of joys" Tony answered.

"You'd be in Trig by now if you didn't slack off and miss so many days of school" Rhodey stated scolding the young inventor.

"Mommy it wasn't my fault, it was Iron Man's." Tony defended in a childish voice.

Rhodey rolled his eyes.

"Good luck." Pepper said.
