A few weeks had passed and Tony was let out of the hospital. He was as good as new. At this point, they didn't even need to tell their friends or the other students they were dating. Half of them already agreed they were dating a couple of months ago anyway.

The constant hospital visits, the late-night hospital visits, the constant texting, it was very obvious to their friends that the two had finally broken the tension.

Although, when they went back to school people figured they would be able to actually learn something in class since they were dating. But they were wrong, the banter only increased and they were still fighting for the top of the class.

Stephen finally broke past the %100 mark and now the two were fighting for the %105-10 area. Half the teachers were done at this point.

Howard Stark never called Stephen 'a poor excuse of an intellectual' after both Stephen and Tony graduated SHIELD Academy in Year 10 (the year after the events of this series take place, remember they were in Year 9).

Of course Tony and Stephen still attended SHIELD Academy after graduating, they were both SHIELD Agents, give or take. Fury wouldn't lose two of his best students yet.

They both just attended University on the weekends and during the evenings.

Oscorp High, Xander College, NSMI and Westwood all became Specialised and Enhanced schools and were partnered together, so the adventures didn't end yet.

The Avengers Club was allowed again, on special order by Fury but only members of the Avengers club knew they sometimes dealt with real-life SHIELD cases (sometimes). And only members of the Avengers had access to the Slurpee machine.

Senior Year was the worst year for SHIELD Academy. Hydra went full out with nasty pranks. The Avengers retaliated with double power and double jokes. Tony insisted on giving the Janitor a raise after the second day of school that year because of the pranks. The janitor got the raise on the third day of school when the Avengers had to flood the third floor with slime because Hydra had filled every locker with flour.

Everything was fine. Sorta. Nothing normal happens to these kids anyways. Next, it might even be an alien invasion but Natasha told Clint that was stupid.

Tony and Stephen celebrated their three-year anniversary by kissing on the top of Stark Tower, which Tony now owned. (Howard had given up when Tony won a Nobel-Prize for his nano-tech when he was 17 and Stephen won a Nobel-Prize for his new discovery methods in surgery at 18).

This time, the date wasn't orchestrated by Loki and Wanda (who were also celebrating their three-year anniversary). Although, Loki helped Tony try and make it 'perfect' and Wanda had to help Stephen make it 'perfect'. This backfired (two rights don't always make a right) and a lot of things went wrong that day.

But it didn't matter because this time no security guard stopped them from kissing on top of the 'R' of the 'STARK' logo on the (now) skyscraper.
