Evie stared at her math homework as she sat in her study hall. This was some nonsense. Why couldn't she be good at math like Dad, or Peter, or Morgan. All her other homework was done. She had to do the math. She sighed and put her head down on the table.
"Hey cutie, this seat taken?" Leo sat down next to her at the table with a wink. "Now how can a guy like me get with a girl like you?"
"You can help me do math."
"Let's see it." Leo snagged the papers and textbook. "What the hell are you doing to these poor polynomials?"
"I don't know." Evie sighed and leaned over to look at the work.
"You're supposed to factor them not murder them."
"Ha ha. You think you're so funny." She rolled her eyes.
"I know I'm funny." He grinned. "How about I help you fix this disaster if you help me figure out dinner with your parents tomorrow."
"Deal."
"Oh baby, how are you so bad at math when your little brother is in my AP class. So dinner, do I need to bring something?"
"No, I don't think so. And that's because Peter's a huge nerd."
"Touche. Ok, so why do they want to meet me all of the sudden? I fuck up?" Leo looked up from copying down the problems.
"More like they found out. I hadn't told them we were dating."
"Because I'm such a bad boy?" Leo wiggled his eyebrows.
"Yes. Obviously." Evie chuckled. "You and your 5 AP classes and fear of ferrets- the baddest."
"Ferrets are freaky. Like fuckin snakes with hair." Leo quickly leaped to his own defense.
"My parents are just over protective."
"If you are in an AP math or science class or in an honors level 3 math or science class please report to room 211 after the bell." Principal Morris' voice crackled across the intercom.
"Wonder what that's about." Leo said. "Do you have lunch plans?"
"Yes! They're very exciting. I'm going to eat in the cafeteria, at a slightly sticky table, with 100 of my closest friends, as mandated." She laughed.
"Care if I join you after whatever happens in 211 m'lady?"
"Only if you don't call me that."
...
"Alright Morgan. You can either come work in the lab with me for a bit or go hang out with Pops in the gym." Tony knelt in front of Morgan.
"Can Uncle Thor throw me in the sky if I go with Papa?"
"No. You know I don't like when he does that." Steve spoke quickly. "You can use the gymnastics equipment with Nat though, or maybe ask her to show you some more ballet."
"When do I get to go to ballet class again?"
"You classes start in three weeks." Tony chuckled. "But you can show Auntie Nat how good you are."
"I don't have my dance stuff. Can I go get it?" They were in Tony's rarely used, Stark Industries office.
"I'll come down with you." Tony grinned. "I have to grab some sketches I was working on. Then we can stop at the gym and you can hang out with Pops."
"Deal!" Morgan dashed towards the elevator.
...
"What are we doing here?" Peter turned to Ned as he sat in room 211.
"Vauge announcements are vauge." MJ shrugged.
"Maybe they're gathering all you nerds." Flash called from his seat across the room.
"You're in our math class." Ned said.
"Shut up."
"Hey Peter, do you know why we're here?" Leo asked sitting next to Peter.
"Nope."
After a few minutes of confused banter Principal Morris, Mr. Lee, Ms. Bruno, and Mr. Porter walked into the room. Mr. Lee and Ms. Bruno both taught the schools' upper level math courses and Mr. Porter handled all of the advanced sciences. The AP and honors students were only a small group, probably 25 or 30 children.
"Thank you for coming." Principal Morris said, interrupting the chatter. "Our advanced math and science students have been offered an exciting opportunity. You all scored so highly on the state wide exams that we have been selected to tour Stark Industries."
The room bubbled up in excitement, the children were clearly eager.
"Now, Stark Industries doesn't allow many field trips- and we only had a few days to choose from." Ms. Bruno explained, "So as a result this will be occurring next Monday on our in service day. Since this isn't a school day the trip is not mandatory, however if you are able to attend there will be the possibility of extra credit. Also, this is an extremely rare opportunity so we encourage you to try to come."
"Stark Industries is one of the top companies in math, science, and engineering guys. You're graduating soon, this is a chance to try to get your foot in the door." Mr. Lee said breaking into a smile.
"Stark Industries would be lucky to have Midtown graduates among their staff and interns." Principal Morris urged. "I have hard copy permission slips up here on the desk, I've also sent out a copy to your emails. We need them back by Thursday at the latest so we can give them a headcount."
As the children left the room MJ turned to Peter with a Cheshire grin.
"This is going to be hilarious."
"I hate you so much." Peter moaned. "My life is over."
"This is awesome." Ned gushed to his friends.
"You come over like every weekend. Why is this any different?"
"We hang out at your place. I want to see the labs!"
"I can show you the labs. Without my Dad humiliating me in front of everyone."
"Dude. You're worried about Tony?" MJ laughed. "Worry about your sisters. They'll be off school."
"Oh just kill me now."
