Its common knowledge now that Tony Stark had taken on a couple apprentices. Peter Parker and his Stark Internship. Morgan having to fill her fathers shoes and realize his legacy for something of her own. Harley was even beginning to learn everything about Stark industries and what he could be a part of. These three, of course, quickly found out about one another.
It was a semi-sunny day when Happy came to pick Peter up for his usual tech upgrades over at Stark Tower. When Peter had opened the door, he did not expect to see Tony's daughter, Morgan.
"Oh, so she got done school before me?" Peter called up front to Happy.
"I'll have you know, these limos come equipped with dividers. I don't have to listen to you." Happy quipped back.
Peter laughed and clambered in. He sat himself next to Morgan and put his seat belt on. After he was all settled in, he turned to Morgan and held up his hand, "Gimme five mini Stark!" Peter cheered. Morgan happily obliged.
"What's Happenin'?" Morgan asked Peter. He shook his head and pulled out some papers.
"Well, I've got a big test coming up. Forget Algebra, Calculus is a lot harder. Remember that." Morgan nodded as Peter continued. "And I've gotta make some upgrades to the super secret spidey suit. It's been too long."
"Not catching any flies?" She asked. Peter laughed.
"No, I'm catching the flies. I just need to re-program a couple things. The A.I. in here is great, I just need her systems to run smoother." Morgan nodded but looked puzzled.
Happy called from the front, "Elementary school, not college yet, Parker!" Peter nodded and pulled out a sheet of paper. He began to draw an outline of his suit and a little square next to the suit.
"Okay, so, in the spider suit, there is a little, tiny, computer. She gets a name because she talks back, her name is Karen." Peter explained, "She's what we call an Artificial Intelligence, or A.I. She acts like us and has her very own responses. I need her to learn more and have more responses ready." Morgan nodded along.
"Why is she named Karen?"
"Well, I had just kinda thought of the name. I don't want to rename her either cause her name means something to me now... I guess I'm being sappy." Morgan laughed and pointed at Peter.
"Sappy Parker, Sappy Parker!" She happily cheered as Peter grabbed her and noogied her until she began swatting at his arms.
Happy called back, "Alright guys. We're here." Happy put the car in park and went to let Morgan out as Peter stepped out of the car door. The three collected their things and made their way through the front lobby of Stark Tower.
Peter turned to Happy and Morgan and asked, "Will Ms. Stark be joining Harley and I today for some fun science?" Morgan's face brightened and she began happily hopping as Happy turned between the two in confusion.
"Well... I-I would have to ask Pepper-"
"Yes. She can so long as you promise she won't get hurt or any new extreme toys." Pepper cut Happy off as he sighed in relief.
Morgan hugged Pepper and ran over to Peter's side and took his hand. "No worries! I promise she'll be okay and I'll tell Harley to put a long hold on that potato canon." Pepper nodded as Peter led Morgan to the elevator towards the labs.
Pepper and Happy stood next to each other in a comfortable silence for a few moments longer. A lot has changed since Tony Stark gave everything for the universe but one thing was for certain. None of his actions were for fame or vanity, but for the safety and the growth of the generations to come.
"So, Happy, news on what Thor has been up to?"
"Not much really. He's been in and out the past few days if you haven't noticed but he seems to leave his hammer around a bit more than usual." Pepper gave Happy a quizzical look.
"That's really odd of him. Maybe he's just not in an avenging mood?" Happy shrugged and led Pepper out of the building as the two had some errands to run.
Back at the labs, Peter and Harley were already hard at work on their own tasks and Morgan was getting increasingly bored.
"Guyyyyyyyss! When's snack time?" Peter turned in his chair.
"Well, we have been at this for a while. Harley!" Peter called over the welder, "How do you feel about a snack break?" The welding stopped and out of the booth stepped Harley, covered head to toe in grease stains and some new burns from the welder.
"Yeah, I suppose I could go for a break. Lemme clean up first." Peter nodded and organized his things so he could easily pick back up later. He did, however, take one of the web shooters he was working on just in case.
"Alright, Morgan! Ready for snacks?" Morgan nodded happily and dashed to the door. Peter waited a moment longer for Harley who soon caught up.
"Even at six she still raises a lotta hell." Harley stated.
Peter laughed, "Yeah. But It's definitely from her dad. He snacked all the time." Harley nodded in agreement and they made their way to the elevator to take them to the Avengers commons; made a long while ago before the Avengers compound.
Morgan, Peter, and Harley all dug through the cabinets looking for something a little less than healthy to suit their needs. They had at least found some granola bars they tricked Morgan into eating and they sat at the couch just a few feet away.
"What're your plans looking like for the rest of the day, Harley?" Peter asked.
"Well, I've got this idea I'm trying out for the Iron Man suit. It's no nano-tech but I'm sure I could make the two compatible after I've worked out the kinks." Peter nodded as Harley continued, "I think it still likes feet."
"Ew! Gross dude!" Peter laughed, throwing his wrapper at Harley as Morgan laughed.
As Peter and Harley discussed some more, something shiny had caught Morgan's eye. She hopped off the couch and wandered towards a hammer sitting on a shelf next to the TV. She looked it over.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Thor's hammer?" She asked as she reached for it. The two looked over and watched as Morgan grasped the hammer and examined it in her hands. Peter chuckled.
"Well, I would think so but not many are able to lift it." He got up and walked over to Morgan. He held out his hand, "May I see it?" Morgan nodded and Peter held it in his hands and looked it over.
He gave the hammer a closer look. Everything looked exactly like Thor's hammer, right down to the inscriptions. It was certainly heavy enough, he almost wondered how Morgan was able to lift it.
Harley shook his head and joined them. He held out his hand to Peter and Peter passed it over. Harley gave it a once over and stepped back and swung it.
"Well, the acoustics are certainly there. But, if it were, how could we all lift it?" Morgan giggled at Harley's question.
"But isn't it just a hammer?" Morgan asked and Peter shook his head.
"While it is a hammer, Thor's hammer is like a deciding factor. If you can hold it, it means you are the ruler of Asgard. Harley's right though, if it were, how could we all lift it?" They looked to each other and laughed.
As they tossed it between each other Thor had walked in.
"Ah! Hello young ones! I was wondering... if... oh." Thor had drifted mid-sentence to see the three playfully passing Mjolnir to one another.
"Oh! Hello Mr. Thor! We were just passing around this replica of your hammer. It's really good too!" Peter said as he held it up and Thor stood another moment, baffled.
"I mean- Well- There is- Hang on." Thor chuckled as he held his hand out for the hammer and in an instant, as it met his hand, the three joyful expressions sunk into those of shocked ones.
The four stood and looked between each other. Silence drifted as they all looked from one another. Morgan picked this moment to begin laughing. The two teens looked to each other and also started laughing. Thor still looked confused.
"Well. I just needed this. I will- uh. I will go congratulate Pepper on Mr. Stark's glorious work." Thor left and the three continued to laugh.
"That was a good one." Harley said as he began to contain his giggles.
Peter nodded, "Yeah it was. And I never knew Thor to be that funny." Morgan continued to giggle.
"That was the hammer, silly." Morgan said. The two boys looked to Morgan, then to each other. They opened and closed their mouths trying to think of a proper argument. This went on for a couple minutes until they decided.
Peter picked up Morgan and three chased out the door in an attempt to catch up with Thor.
"Wait a second, Thor!"
"Was that Mjolnir?!"
"Mr. Thor!"
They continued to call down the hall as the chase ensued. All of which, were more than worthy.
