Just a heads up, my crossover fics don't contain any shipping. It's just characters I want to see meeting and becoming friends. That's all. Enjoy the fic!


Today was the big day, and Tony was ready. Today, he had invited someone special to tour his workplace. The person in question was a student from a place called Hope's peak academy. A place in Japan that houses the best of the best in order to bring hope to the future. Tony was intrigued by this and offered a random student to come to America to tour Stark industries. They should have arrived in America by now, and Tony couldn't wait anymore. Just then, his phone rings. It's from Happy. He picks it up.

"Hey Happy," Tony says. "Are you guys almost there yet?"

"We're here now, Tony." Happy replies. "We're coming up the elevator." Tony walks to the elevator. He wondered what kind of student they would be. Best Artist? Best Chef? He hoped it would be someone who would enjoy machines, otherwise things would get awkward really fast. The elevator dings, and Tony looks with anticipation. The doors open to reveal Happy with…..a child? The boy was very small with brown hair and hazel eyes. Tony beckons Happy over. Happy obeys.

"Happy," Tony whispers. "Where's the kid?"

"That is him, Tony." Happy says.

"Oh." Tony looks to the boy again. The boy looked around nervously. Tony walks up and clears his throat.

"Hello," He says with confidence. "My name is Tony Stark, but I bet you knew that already."

"U-um hello." The boy says meekly. "I'm Chihiro Fujisaki, they call me the ultimate programmer." A skill with computers, thank goodness, Tony thought.

"It's nice to meet you Stark-san." Chihiro straightens a little. "Thank you for inviting me. I can't wait to explore this place."

"Perfect!" Tony says. "Let's get started then. Thanks for helping, Happy." Happy nods and leaves.

"Now first, I'll show you the factory where we make our tech." Tony says as they start walking. "We make all kinds of things there for any situation."

"Wow." Chihiro says. "That's amazing." He hasn't seen the factory yet but Chihiro's already impressed. This is going perfectly.

"Um." Chihiro mutters. "I have a question."

"Go ahead and ask."

"You're Iron Man, right?" Chihiro had seen news of Iron man's exploits online. He admired his strength and willingness to protect others. He wanted to be just like that someday.

"Yes of course I am." Tony says. "I'm a genius and a hero, it's pretty great."

"I'm a huge fan!" Chihiro says. "I've always thought it was amazing that you're strong enough to protect others who couldn't! You're incredible!"

Tony smiles. "Nice to meet another fan. Yeah, it's something I take pride in, being a hero. It's a lot of work doing this and being a CEO, but it's worth it."

"Mr. Stark! Hey Mr. Stark!" A new voice cried out. Chihiro looks to see a boy his age running toward Stark-san.

"Hey there Peter." Tony says.

"Sorry I'm late!" Peter says I missed the bus. But I'm here now!"

"It's only been five minutes, no need to get upset."

"Thank you Mr. Stark." Peter says Peter then looks at Chihiro. "Oh, is this the student you're giving the tour to? Hi, I'm Peter Parker. I'm an intern at Stark industries."

"I'm Chihiro Fujisaki. It's nice to meet you."

"Yeah, you too. Anyways, I gotta get to work. Have fun on the tour!" Peter runs to his workplace in a hurry.

"Now, where were we?" Tony says as they walk again. "It's tough, but thankfully I'm not alone. I'm in the avengers. And together, we've saved the world many times." Chihiro was beaming at the man.

"I wanna become like you someday." Chihiro says. "I wanna become strong, so that I can protect others like you do."

"Really? Tony asks. "I didn't expect that ."

"W-well it's true. I've taken some steps already, but I know that I can do more. I've been training everyday for that reason." Tony was silent. This kid was something else. He reminded him of someone else he knew. They finally reach the doors to the factory.

"We're here." Tony says. "Get ready to be amazed!" Tony opens the door and lets Chihiro in first. Chihiro gasps in amazement. The factory was huge! So many things were being built inside of it. Chihiro runs over to the railing and looks down

"Stark-san, what's that?" Chihiro pointed at a machine being built.

"That's an engine designed to consume less fuel."

"What about that one?" Chihiro points again.

"Those are computer chips made to carry more data."

"And that one?" Chihiro points again.

That's a washing machine." Chihiro laughs as he goes to look at the next thing. Tony follows along and tells him what everything was. He was glad the kid was having fun. He was also glad that he was having fun too. Chihiro runs to look at another thing before stopping. A pair of big doors bolted shut caught his attention.

"What's that?" He asks. Tony looks at it and frowns.

"It's a place best left forgotten." He says

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chihiro asks.

"This was the weapons division." Tony says solemnly. "After becoming Iron Man, I had it closed down for good."

"Oh." Chihiro says. "I'm sorry for bringing it up."

"No, don't be." Tony reassures Chihiro. "You were just curious, that's all."

Chihiro stays quiet, but nods. Tony checks his watch.

"Oh, it's lunchtime. You hungry kid?"

"Oh, now that you mention it, yes." Chihiro replies.

"Come then. We have a café in the building."

"Really? This place is amazing!" Chihiro says. Chihiro follows Tony to get food. When they get to the café, Tony turns to Chihiro.

"So, what do you want, kid?"

"Oh um, anything's fine really. As long as it's tasty." Tony goes ahead and gets Chihiro a sandwich while he gets a burger. The two sat down near a window.

"Having fun?" Tony asks.

"Oh yes!" Chihiro says with delight "It's amazing. To be honest, I was worried about coming alone on this tour, but it's been worth it so far."

"That's good, that's good." Tony says before he eats. Both eat for a bit before Chihiro asks, "So, why'd you become an inventor?"

"I've had a knack for it since I was very young. I made my first circuit board when I was four years old."

"That young?" And here I thought I was the only one to start so early."

"I also created a motorbike engine when I was almost seven."

"That's incredible!" Chihiro says. "You're truly amazing"

"Ha, yeah I know. It just seemed like my calling. What about you? What got you into programming?"

"I didn't spend a lot of time playing with other kids since I was so weak, so I played on the computer. My father was a software engineer. One day I found an incomplete information retrieval system my dad made. I put my own modifications to it and completed it. My father was so proud of me, and I finally found something I could take pride in."

"Damn, that's awesome." Tony says.

"Oh no, my story's not nearly as cool as yours, but thank you regardless." Tony realizes then that Chihiro wasn't very confident in himself. He got so caught up in Chihiro's praise that he didn't ask about Chihiro until just now. He had to change that

"So tell me more about your programming." He says. "What kind of things have you made?"

"Oh, um, well." Chihiro stutters. He didn't expect for the conversation to remain on him. He looks at his backpack.

"Oh! I can show you!" Chihiro says. He pulls out his computer and opens it to show Tony. He shows him a lot of programs he made, from application programs to system programs to little things just for fun. Tony looked at it all with great interest.

"Kid, these are…." Tony found himself speechless. He had never seen such amazing software before!

"Oh, do you not like it?" Chihiro says. "I'm sorry." He knew he'd hate them. Now Tony would hate him.

"No no no no no!" Tony says quickly. "I think it's brilliant. All of it. You're like, the greatest programmer I've ever met."

"Really?" Chihiro asks.

"I meant it. Cross my heart." Tony makes the cross motion on his arc reactor. Chihiro sighs in relief.

"Thank you. It means a lot coming from you." Tony nods and they continue eating. Both thought many things about each other. Thoughts of admiration and respect After finishing their food, Tony looks to Chihiro.

"You know what kid, I like you a lot." He said. "And I'm glad you showed me your passion." He smiles. "How about I show you mine?"

"Huh?"

"Inventing. I invented many things, including this thing right here." He taps his arc reactor. "It's not part of the tour, but a kid like you comes once in a lifetime."

"You mean I get to see your workshop?" Tony just smirks.

"Is the Iron Man suit gonna be there?"

"Well, some versions will at least." They get up to go see the workshop. Chihiro was excited. He'll get to see the Iron Man suit in person. A symbol of a strong hero. He wondered if seeing it will rub off it's strength on him. They go to the elevator that takes them to the lab. They go inside and move down. After a minute, the door opens to reveal a messy lab, filled with parts and machines and most importantly, suits. Chihiro's eyes lit up at the sight. He walks into the lab taking in everything. A real hero's lab! He walks over to the suits. They appeared a bit damaged.

"They got beat up in my last mission. I'm repairing them here." Tony says, walking up to the suits.

"What happened?" Chihiro asked. Tony told him the story while they explored the lab. Chihiro listened in awe all the while. After the story ended, Tony asked for a story in return. Chihiro then told him of the good times he's had at Hope's peak so far.

"Hey kid," Tony asks suddenly. "What do you plan on doing once you graduate?"

"Huh? I'd probably just continue programming. Why?" Chihiro asks.

"I was wondering if you'd like to work here after you graduate? For Stark industries?"

"What?"

"You've been recognized as the best of the best, kid. I'd be a fool not to take you in. We could use a programmer like you. What do you say?" Chihiro was speechless.

"Oh, well, um, I-"

"EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY." a loud voice rang out. Both men jumped at the sound.

"What the hell?" Tony says He runs to a desk and pulls out a screen.

"Wh-what's going on, Stark-san?" Chihiro asks, frightened.

"I don't know." Tony says. "F.R.I.D.A.Y, what's going on?" No response comes. "F.R.I.D.A.Y., respond!" Again, no answer. Tony grips his head in worry and frustration.

"St-Stark-san! Are you ok?" Chihiro asks.

"No, we're not ok." Tony says grimly. "We've just been attacked."
