A/N: Hope you guys like this chapter. I worked my butt off. I should be studying for my honors chem test...But I like writing stories better...I'd disappoint Tony and Bruce with my lack of science skills...Anyways read and enjoy.

Tony was now 15 years old and was already admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. All he got in return from his dad was a pat on the back. He didn't mind though. His father wasn't the best at openly displaying his emotions. MIT was a good school. He just wished that the kids there wouldn't stop acting like he was the most important person in the world. He liked it when people just told it to him straight. Jarvis had no problems with voicing his opinion or just out right joking with him. After 5 years Tony still got a recording from Jarvis every month. And he still enjoyed everything he had to say. Albeit throughout those five years from when he was 10. Tony saw a lot of Obadiah Stane. Of course he was considered his father's friend. But the man still unnerved him. Always seeming a little too chummy with his father. Wanting to know about the ins and outs of the business. Like hell Howard was gonna intrust his life's work and the company to someone like Stane. Tony knew it, his father wasn't dumb enough to do something like that.

But back to school Tony was excelling fast. Albeit he was the youngest one in the school. The teachers there praised him for his work. Winning multiple awards for the school. He had excelled the most in robotic engineering. One of his favorite subjects. When Tony came home over break he'd immediately tell Jarvis about his time there. Jarvis just listened intently at what he had to say. Even if Jarvis didn't understand what the young boy was saying.

"The classes are the best. Although I don't really like this one teacher. He's super weird. He talks on and on about a lesson we just covered a week or two ago. Sometimes he doesn't even teach us anything. Just lazing around taking naps at his desk and stuff. But sometimes the teachers start babying me. I'm 15 years old J. I'm too mature to be babied."

"Perhaps he's testing his student's limits as to see if they can learn on their own." Jarvis explained. "Now would you like to have a cup of hot chocolate? Or are you too "mature" to have a cup?"

"Jarvis," Tony feigned shock. "Nobody is too old to have hot chocolate."

"Very well sir." Jarvis made him his hot chocolate and Tony savored not only his drink but his time with Jarvis too. It was clear to him that Jarvis wasn't getting any younger. And it pained Tony that one day, Jarvis won't be there for him. But he pushed the thought away. Only thinking about the good things that are bound to happen now.

Tony was 16 when he brought a girl home with him. A Virginia Potts or Pepper, over. She was studying business and communications. And Tony liked her immediately. She was a strong and independent woman and Tony liked that about her. She wasn't afraid to tell him he was wrong either when the moment called for it. Rhodey had introduced them over break. The strawberry blonde had an edge that Tony couldn't help but like.

"Welcome home sir." Jarvis greeted. "And who might this be?"

"Jarvis this is my friend Virginia Potts."

"You can call me Pepper." She replied.

"Ms. Potts it is a pleasure to meet you." He said shaking her hand. "Tony has told me so much about you. Honestly he wouldn't keep his mouth closed when he talked about how..." Tony quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.

"Hahaha, Jarvis ever the joker." He laughed nervously. Jarvis just rolled his eyes at him. "Now, how about I show you my dad's office. It's where he does all his important work pertaining to the industry."

"That does sound tempting." Pepper replied.

"Well come on then!" He said leading her to the office. Jarvis just chuckled to himself.

"Young love," he muttered to himself a small smile adorning his features.

Before long yelling was being heard and an angry Pepper came storming down.

"Is there a problem Ms. Potts?" Jarvis asked with concern.

"Hmm? Oh no, not at all, I seem to have taken care of the problem." She smiled and left right when Tony came down calling her name.

"Pepper! Wait! I'm sorry!" He yelled. Tony was breathing heavily a red mark on his face looking distinctly looking like a hand print adorned the left side of his cheek.

"Sir, what happened." Jarvis asked knowing all too well what might have happened.

"Well I may have...um...took a squeeze at um...Pepper's...butt..." Tony blushed down to his roots.

"Sir, why would you do something like that?"

"I see my old man do it all the time with ma." He mumbled.

"Why am I not surprised? That's because they are married sir."

"Does that mean I have to marry Pepper?" Tony mumbled.

"Tony you and I both know that you're smart enough to know that's not what I meant."

"I know just joking. Boy did she have one heck of a slap." He said rubbing at his now sore cheek.

"I doubt you'll be hearing from her again anytime soon."

"Give it some time, we're still going to be friends."

'In several years I beg to differ...' Jarvis thought with a smile.

"What are you smiling at Jarvis?" Tony asked quirking his eyebrow.

"Sir, I was merely smiling at the fact that you were bested by a woman."

"Hahaha Jarvis, very funny."

"I'm sorry sir, but would like some ice on that burn? I believe Ms. Potts has left her mark." Jarvis quipped.

"..." Tony looked at Jarvis. "Touché Jarvis...touché..." After a moment of staring Tony laughed Jarvis following suit.
