So this was originally on Wattpad but I've moved it here instead

Stark Industries. The future. A scientist's dream and envy. So many people dreamt of working there or even just setting foot inside the great glass tower that soared above New York city, yet so few got the chance.

SI was notorious for its specific qualifications, only accepting 40 Interns a year, all must be in college or above, and they could be dropped at any time.

Peter Parker was a prodigy, everyone he ever met would tell you the same thing. He was going places. Which is why it shouldn't be surprising that upon Tony Stark seeing what that kid could do, was immediately granted an Internship, never mind the fact he was still in high school. Plus, it meant Peter wasn't lying about having an internship anymore to cover his ass when he had to go out as Spider-Man.

At first, seeing a kid that couldn't have been more than 14 (he was 15 but ya know, baby face) in places he really shouldn't be brought up questions, but he soon had a reputation of knowing more than his years suggested and being the go-to guy for all issues regarding projects or inventions.

The thing was though, when he mentioned the internship to Ned the first Monday after receiving said internship from Tony Stark, a certain Flash Thompson happened to overhear, and naturally disbelieving that 'Puny Parker' could ever become an intern for a company as celebrated as SI, began to make snide comments every so often, often bringing up the internship around others and using it to bully Peter.

At first it just started off with the odd comment, "Oi Parker, you going over to Starks labs today? You think you could take a picture? Oh, that's right, you don't work there, is it an attention thing Parker? You want attention?"

Which Peter could deal with, but over time Flash's comments got worse, and though at first no one listened, people started to believe Flash, especially when he pointed out the SI didn't accept High schoolers.

Eventually the school got involved and Peter was threatened with expulsion if he didn't drop his 'lies' about his internship. Peter was pissed, as anyone would be if they were wrongfully accused, and when he went to the school with proof of his internship the school punished him with a month of after school detentions and warned him not to forge documents or carry on with his lie anymore.

This brings us to the present. Flash had stopped mentioning Peter's internship though he would still bring it up occasionally, and Peter had gone to all his detentions.

After leaving his final detention, Peter made his way outside the school to find Happy parked outside in one of Mr Starks cars. Adjusting his back pack on his shoulders, Peter walked over to the car and slid in. "Hey Happy." Happy just looked at him through the front mirror before turning on the engine and driving off joining the heavy traffic of New York. Peter plugged in his earphones getting lost in the music as he began to work on his homework, as he wouldn't have time to do so later as he would be staying late today helping the other interns then messing around with Mr Stark in his private labs.

Peter still couldn't believe that Mr Stark let him into his private labs, no one was allowed into Mr Stark's private labs, not even Dr. Banner! But that being said, spending time with his mentor was the highlight of Peter's week.

Seeing that they had nearly arrived at SI, Peter quickly packed up his work and carefully slid his project back into his bag. Once they were at a stop in the private parking lot, Peter took off his seat belt and stepped out the car, thanking Happy as he did so getting a small nod in return before picking up his bag and making his way over to the lift.

"Good afternoon Peter. Boss is in a meeting right now but said you are welcome to go straight to the labs if you so wish."

"Thanks Fri, but I'm going to head over to the Intern labs for a bit first. Please can you take me to floor 47?"

"Of course, Peter."

The lift then started to rise as Peter watched the numbers go bye, '-4, -3, -2...15, 16, 17' and on it went till it reached 47 and the doors slid open, revealing the wonder that is the R and D labs of SI.

"Hey Fri?"

"Yes Peter?"

"Please could you let me know when Mr Stark is out of his meeting?"

"I will, have fun"

"Thank you." Then Peter stepped out of the lift and made his way over to his desk over at the back, and brought up one of his projects he was working on, this one was specifically to help the water treatment system as they had been reporting problems with a prototype Oscorp had made for them. Peter quickly got to work and was soon lost in what he was doing.

After a while his spider sense (it's not a Peter tingle, May, godammit!) Went off, not in a 'your in danger' way, more a 'someone's right there dumbass' way. Putting down his tools and looking up, Peter came face to face with one of the newer interns, Caleb. Caleb was a really talented guy, and a whiz in tech, though his passion was medicine and making tech to help in the medical field.

Peter had met Caleb last year and they clicked immediately and became notorious around the building as the pranksters. They were also well known for having the most out there projects so it wasn't surprising that their names were first and second on the leader board for most explosions of the month, and had been for the past 11 months in a row. Employees dreaded the days that either Princess Shuri or Ned Leeds, or even worse both were at SI, as all kinds of mayhem was unleashed. Together, the four of them could take over SI, if not the world, and that's without bringing Michelle Jones and Harley Keener into the mix.

Caleb was good looking, dark brown wavy hair, clear blue eyes and quite fit, and more than once Peter had seen the women around swoon. He found it hilarious, especially when he found out it wound Caleb up and started to tease him about it. That was their relationship, they would tease each other all the time and often got into competitions around the building.

It wasn't uncommon to see one of them hiding around in ridiculous areas or doing stupid shit around the building simply for a dare or challenge.

"Hey Caleb, what's up? Come to escape the looks of your admirers?" Peter asked innocently, Caleb shooting a glare in response.

"Like you don't have your own fair share of admirers, you're like a god here Parker."

This time it was Peter's turn to glare, but the thing is he wasn't wrong. Peter, as much as he disagreed, was deemed as one of the hottest people at SI. In fact, without the knowledge of either Peter or Caleb, there was another list in the company that their names held first and second place-cutest/hottest employee.

"But I need you to look at something for me. The project I'm working on, there's a part that's giving my brain a meltdown just thinking about. You think you could have a look for me?"

Nodding, Peter got up from his desk, closing and putting away the stuff he was working on, before making his way over to Caleb's desk and taking a seat.

"So dear student, what seems to be the issue?" Peter asked, a smug smile in place.

"Duck off Parker, anyway the problem is-"

"Hang on," Peter interrupted, looking at Caleb like he had grown another head, "did you just say 'duck off'?"

"Yes, I did, mom came over last week and she brought my little sis Elsie, and you have no idea how much I wanted to swear, but mom would just glare at me so I resorted to such ways of communication."

Peter let out a snort at that, he had met Caleb's mom a few times, and she was one scary lady, though she did make amazing cookies.

"Anyway, as I was saying before being so rudely interrupted, the problem is that the string and variable here look fine, as does the loop there but when I run the code it says there's an error, and I've been looking at it for the last 3 hours and can't see what's wrong!"

Peter nodded sagely before taking a look at the code. After scanning it for a few minutes he found the issue and quickly corrected it.

"There you go, you forgot the colon there and the variable didn't match with the output so I fixed that for you."

Caleb looked between the computer and Peter disbelievingly before snapping out of his daze, "Thank you so, so, so much Peter. I owe you one."

"Anytime, now if you don't mind me, I'm gonna grab a snack."

"See you around bug boy!"

Oh yeah, that's another thing, Caleb knew about Spider-Man. Well to be honest, pretty much everyone in SI knew, and had all signed NDA's, not like any of them would have given up Peter's identity, all SI had agreed that Peter Parker was precious and needed to be protected at all costs!

Heading over to the cafeteria on floor 51 to grab a snack, Friday told Peter that Tony was out of his meeting and heading over to the private labs. Peter told Friday to let Mr Stark know he'd be up in a minute, then hurried over to the cafeteria, ordered two coffees, one with 4 spoons of sugar and some milk along with whipped cream and marshmallows for him (what? Sue him for liking his coffee extra sweet) and a black coffee for Mr Stark, as well as a large muffin to snack on till dinner.

Then he made his way up to the labs, munching on his muffin as he went. Walking into the lab nearest the penthouse he spotted Mr Stark over in a corner with Dum-E working on one of his Iron Man suits. Feeling a grin spread over his face, Peter quickly placed the drinks and half-eaten muffin on a side table before silently jumping onto the ceiling and crawling across. When he was right above Mr Stark, he lowered himself down carefully with some web till he was hanging with his nose millimetres from Mr Stark's head. Then he cleared his throat right in Tony's ear and watched in glee as the genius jumped and spun around, only to see no one there.

"Hey Mr Stark"

Tony looked up and glared at Peter as the boy in question cracked up so hard he lost his grip and fell straight onto the floor, as Tony, seeing what was about to happen, had wisely stepped out of the way, to avoid becoming the demon child's pillow.

"Underoos, what the fuck?!"

Still laughing slightly, though wincing at the pain in his side, Peter looked up at his mentor with a shit eating grin, "surprise."

Tony rolled his eyes before helping his protege up, "you ok kid?"

"Yeah I'm fine, oh I brought coffee!"

Tony watched as Peter went over to grab the coffees he had put to one side and brought them back over, offering Tony the black one.

"Hey kid, wanna help me with the suit?"

With that single sentence, Peter's eyes lit up like a child's on Christmas before eagerly nodding his head. They got to work and soon found themselves lost in the comfort of each other's company and normality of working together.

Around three hours later, Friday's voice came across the speaker, "Boss, real Boss told me to let you know that the food has arrived and that if you want some before the rest of the team eat it all, you should head up now."

"Thanks Fri, c'mon Pete, we can finish this later." Wiping his oily hands on a rag, Tony stood up as the Kid quickly followed suit, bouncing on the balls of his feet then dashing off on his hunt for food. Tony let out a small chuckle before remembering that the Avengers were upstairs and with Peter on his way, if he didn't hurry there really wouldn't be any food left. He quickly followed Peter, asking Friday to hold the lift as he went.

Peter wasn't happy when Friday refused to close the lift until Mr Stark made his way into the lift, but was resigned to his fate of not eating dinner as the Avengers would 100% already be upon the food like bloodhounds.

As soon as Mr Stark was in the lift, the doors closed and the lift went hurtling up, clearly Friday understood how important it was they got up quickly.

They tumbled out the lift, gracelessly before rushing towards the living room where they normally ate on Fridays. They found the rest of the Avengers sprawled out along the couches and chairs, with Mr Barton and Mr Wilson on the floor in front of the big screen tv playing Mario kart.

Peter went over and sat next to Natasha with Tony sitting on his other side. Reaching for one of the boxes of pizza on the table, Peter quickly snatched the pepperoni one that he had seen Bucky eyeing up. Bucky shot him a glare before going after a meat feast slice which was quickly snagged by Tony. Bucky released an ever-suffering sigh before taking a slice from the Hawaiian pizza.

"Pineapple on pizza, yes or nah?" Peter asked with all the seriousness he could muster whilst having his face stuffed with pizza.

"No." That offensive comment came from Sam who had just overtaken Clint on the track. Peter looked at him, gaping like a fish.

"Mr. Wilson, why?! It does belong on Pizza! It's a crime for it not to be on pizza!"

At that Sam scoffed. " Yeah, sure kid, whatever delusions help you sleep at night."

"I hope Mr. Clint wins Mario Kart." Peter said dead pan.

"You take that back!"

"Hang on, how come Clint gets to be Mr. Clint, but I'm still Mr. Stark?"

Peter looked at Tony, up and down, before responding, "He let me shoot some of his arrows."

Tony looked at Peter with narrowed eyes, "you mean the arrows I said you couldn't use because they were too dangerous?"

Gulping, Peter nodded. Tony sighed, pinching his nose. "You're gonna be the death of me kid."

Later on, Pepper looked around at everyone. They had ended up having a movie night and had all fallen asleep. She could see Bucky, Steve and Sam over in the corner of the sofa, Sam and Steve both laying on Bucky who had a soft smile on his lips. Clint was sleeping with his head resting against the sofa by Natasha. Peter was sleeping with his head on Tony's chest and legs over Natasha's lap. She could also see Thor and Bruce cuddled together by the fire with Loki snuggled up in an armchair close to them. Rhodey was resting in the corner by the bookshelves and Wanda and Vision were huddled together on the smaller couch.

Pepper felt a smile settle on her face, this was her family. A little messed up, sure, but what family wasn't? She knew she wouldn't trade them for anything.

Authors note: the plot belongs to me as does some characters like Caleb, otherwise everything belongs to Marvel
