Last time: Look they are cosplaying!
"... Dont forget your floor number. Just tell me what you need, and we will customized it up. If you dont say anything I will go on a buying spree.I am serious. So you better tell me your tastes." Tony happily declared as they used the lift to move from the living floors, apparently Stark dedicated one floor to him as well as one to dr. Banner. It was like a luxury apartment. It had a hot tub. In one of the bathrooms was a hot tub, Peter would have been more amazed that now he had a floor all to himself that was triple the flat he normally live with his aunt. He didnt think about it now, mostly because next up was the labs, and Ironaman was going to the floor he used. Peter knew that Stark knew he used it,he asked during the team shwarma, he assumed he already looked into the results of the testing Peter did as well. Still Tony Stark didnt show with anything in his action that he knew or cared.
It was a clear silent demand for Spiderman to say what he was doing back then. No more wriggling room. No more distractions. He was a bundle of nerves, and he was 99% sure Tony Stark was doing it on purpose. The doors opened and they all went in.
"This is...this is your lab?...Its...I..."
"Candy land. Ask Spider kiddo, he used this one?"
"Its Spiderman." Peter corrected and moved towards the computer carefully, shyly. Awaiting to be yelled at.
"Stark I cant work here." Bruce said all but breathlessly.
"Wait, why not Brucie? Am I lacking some equipment name it and tomorrow it will be in the lab."
"Tony its not that its missing its... Understand the last time I was doing anything science related for myself I was using a blood centrifuge I made out a rusted bicycle. This here... its state of the art."
Several silent moments Stark stared at dr. Banner, before he in all seriousness said. "Fine. I will build you a super fancy bicycle which you can turn into a blood centrifuge.I can understand, I like making my own stuff and tools as well. So that problem is I may not do the rust part. I mean everyone has its peeve, you can rust the bicycle on your own. Or we could paint it rust actually rusting it up."
"Thats not what I meant." In half frustration the man complained, but he was interrupted, when Peter frowned and spoke aloud.
"Friday, where did you move the test results I did? They arent in the folder I put as end destination."
"Red handed!" Tony all but screamed out, causing both people in the room to jump slightly.
"Tony!" Bruce frowned looking between him and Spiderman who raised his hands.
"I am sorry. I mean you knew I was in your lab. I am ...dont throw me out."
"Thats not what I meant. Jeez. I am not throwing you out boy. Okay. Clam down. And I didnt mean the experiment you did either." Tony said attempting to claim the teen down. Wearing a slightly guilty expression for scaring him in the first place.
"No?... Then... what did I do?"
"You called my AI Friday. Why?"
"Its her name. Her name is Friday. "
"Her."
"Yes?"
"What accent?"
"Um... Irish I think."
Then Stark took a deep breath running a hand over his hair before he slowly breathed out and sat on a chair close by.
"Look boy, you are right I have a AI. We work great together. I would be lost with out, protect me every day. But Friday, is not my AI."
"She is not? "
"Nope, Friday is a back up AI. In case something impossible to repair happens to Jarvis, something after which I cannot restore him any longer."
"OH! So thats him!" Peter connected the dots, he didnt understand the occasional comment he heard from Vision. But he assumed getting a body for a AI would count as something impossible to restore back. He wished he asked Vision some more about the past. He wouldnt have then run into such a oblivious trap.
"So you are a robot?"
"No, Peter. I am not."
"What are you Vision. I mean if its okay to ask."
"I am a synthetic being born from a Vibranium-laced body, programmed by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, based of a AI. I am one year and six weeks old."
"Wow. You must be curios about the world. I mean you barely have any experience. Being a year old and such..."
"I have plenty of experience, most gathered while protecting Tony Stark, even before he became Ironman." Vision smiled, confusing Peter further. Vision continued thought. "Its one of the reason when sir forget himself he calls me J."
J is the first letter of Jarvis. "Your nickname for him is J, isnt it?" Peter stated after a brief moment he took to take it all in. The moment in which both scientist were curiously staring at him. Well dr. Banner was alternating his stares between Tony and him.
"Now isnt that fascinating. You didnt know about Jarvis, but you know about the nickname I use?" Tony Stark leaned in. "Jarvis introduce yourself."
"Good day. I am Just A Rather Very Intelligent System, feel free to call me Jarvis." Peter couldnt help the slight jump he had when he heard Visions voice. That will take some time getting used to. He didnt like how much focus mr. Stark was putting in watching every of his movements. "As to your previous question mister Spiderman, I moved the results as instructed by sir."
"Jarvis is fascinating. You made him Tony?" Bruce asked, looking briefly to the ceiling, something Spiderman didnt do after his first two hours interacting with Friday. Oh no, he did a mistake, the way Tony looked over to Bruce... it was like comparing his reactions to a control sample.
"Yeah, he first was a natural-language user interface computer system. He grow into so much more. " Stark responded, casually, lovingly even, making Peter wonder how much did Tony Stark already figured about him.
"Sir, would be completely lost with out me. As he puts it I run the house and his life together with ms. Potts." Jarvis peeped in, and this time Peter gave a brief look to the ceiling even if it made him feel silly.
"So have you noticed anything weird about Spidey results?" Tony spoke and Jarvis displayed them on a screen. Bruce Banner took his glasses out his chest pocket and put them on giving it a look over. Peter moved closer and gave them a look himself. They didnt look anything off the charts...
"What are this readings of?" dr. Banner asked giving a openly curios look at Spiderman. He looked over at Tony. "You came here to ask me for help, am I right? Its hard to help if you dont give all the data." Tony responded his eyes not leaving Peter.
Spiderman sighed, Stark was right. He needed help before he messes things even worse up. He took off his hood, and then the mask as well.
"You probably already did a cross reference of my face from me being here last time with out a mask, right Fri-Jarvis." Peter said eyes closed in a silent acceptance and a prayer that things could be put back in order.
"Indeed."
"And what did you find out about our guest?" Tony asked, and Peter smirked.
"Nothing." Jarvis said simply. He could swear he heard a bit of frustration in the AI voice.
"What do you mean nothing?" Stark questioned.
"He doesnt exist, sir. There are no legal records or data base where I found a trace." Jarvis clarified and now Bruce looked intrigued. "None at all?"
"None, dr. Banner."
"Even if you wanted you wouldnt be able to find me. I am not supposed to exist. Spiderman isnt supposed to exist." Peter said leaving the word yet out. He was moving to where he left the stone and carefully took it out the machine. It was still grayish. He took it over and placed it on the table where the two adults were standing.
"I touched that, and was then here. I went to the Avenger tower to see what happened to me. I feared I had a black out and maybe was doing something, or something was wrong with me. More wrong. After working here I heard something akin explosions and when I went up, well you know the rest. Loki, you and window. You asked for extra hands and I helped."
"How do you know I changed the tower name to Avengers tower? I didnt yet tell anyone beside Jarvis that."
Peter was silent for a few moments. "Its better if you dont find out. But I suppose I have a lot of learning to do in proper art of hiding information..."
When he looked up Tony Stark was observing the gemstone. "Spiderman, this test you did, they were done really well. But still I would like to do a set of tests myself. " dr. Banner stated moving the holographic screen closer and starting to type on it. The first few taps were reluctant but he quickly adjusted.
"The readings, the background chemicals, and the low level radiation that usually go in the error margin. If multiplied several times in strength it would be nearly identical to what the tesseract was giving off." Bruce stated to explain his wish for extra tests.
"I am sorry... I ... things were happening so fast and I was swept with the flow... afterwards I just didnt want to tell with shield around, about it. Or risk Loki hearing it..." Peter explained himself.
"Its okay. We are geniuses. We going to figure it out and send you back from where you come. Until then. Spiderling, do you have any name you want to use for you legal documents?" Tony smiled, poking the teen in the side to wipe away that sad expression.
"Its spiderman... and yeah I like the name Peter. But I dont want my last name to be Stark. "
"Okay. It will be Peter Banner." Stark joked, causing Bruce to look away from the screen and stare completely baffled at Tony.
"Wait. What? How did I get involved in this? "
Peter snickered, maybe everything will get okay.
"What? You dont want to adopt this bright kiddo? You saved his life, he is your responsibility, now you have to adopt him."
"Following that logic I would have to adopt you as well. Seeing Hulk saved your life as well."
"If I suddenly change my last name to Banner, I am pretty sure people will assume I married you." Tony wriggled his eyebrows, while Bruce rolled his own eyes, a amused smile playing on his face.
"You are impossible. Why did I even came here?"
"Because I seduced you with science and no one resist the candy land."
"Maybe I can have a generic last name, like Smith or Black?" Peter tried to compromise, but the next thing wasnt a clever reply on last names but it was Jarvis.
"Sorry to interrupt but I feel I have to point out that the gemstone started glowing." Three pair of eyes snapped back to the yellow gem on the table between them.
