Chapter 4

"And this is the first suit that I ever created," Tony said proudly as he pointed to the red and gold suit that looked larger and heavier than the new modern ones. "As you can see this is a complete piece of shit compared to my more modern suits."

As the rest of the high schoolers in his group took pictures to post on Instagram and Snapchat, Tony noticed that one of them wasn't acting like a kid at Disneyland. The teenage boy was small and slim, but even through the nerdy T-shirt he was wearing Tony could see that he was stronger than he looked. He had a pale, thin face and wide brown eyes that reminded Tony of a deer. As far as fourteen-year-old went, he seemed more mature than the others ones that were beaming as they were taking selfies.

"Do you want to take a photo, youngest?" Tony grinned at him, "I'll even be in the picture with you so that you can show all of your little friends."

Peter's smile curled against his lip, giving him the look of that creepy cat from Alice in Wonderland. "No, thank you. I don't do pictures." There was something slightly off about the accent, but Tony ignored the snug. It was New York after all, people came from anywhere.

Tony was about to respond, but a short, blond girl suddenly jumped up and told him that if Peter didn't want to take a picture with him she would gladly do it. Peter was grateful for the distraction. The last thing he needed was for Stark to get too chummy with him. He silently reminded himself to act more cheery and dorky. The last thing he needed was for people to get suspicious.

The group took pictures for another 20 minutes before Tony continued the tour and told them that he was taking them to the training center next. Peter was grateful for the distraction, he waited carefully for the entire group to disband, while he stayed behind. This might be easier that he had thought.

Peter looked around the room that Tony had told them was his own personalized lab. If this was his own personalize lab then that must mean that all the Avengers information that he needed was here. Including weaknesses.

Dimitri had only wanted Wanda back, but if Peter could get information from the other Avengers than they didn't have, then that would be a win. Peter went towards the large computer at the back and it asked for a password. Damn it.

He had expected it of course, but Stark seemed like kind of an airhead so he hoped that it would be password less. He had thankfully brought this along, he pulled out a small camera that was the side of a chocolate chip and that would send the information back to his phone. No one would see it and Stark would have to put in the password at one time or another.

Peter noticed that the doorway captured the room perfectly and he easily managed to place the little camera there. Perfect. He would check on it next time that he had to come here. Now he needed to get back there before they sent out a search party.

"What are you doing here? Did you get lost?"

Peter turned around and saw Wanda. They had never officially meet before, but Wanda was looking at him intensely. Peter straightened up. "Yes, I got lost. I apologize, I got a little distracted looking at Mr. Stark's. . .stuff."

Wanda nodded understandably; she cocked her head to the side. "What's your name?"

"Peter," Peter said slowly.

Wanda nodded, "Petru," she said the Romanian version of his name and Peter briefly wondered if he couldn't just knock Wanda out and take her away from HQ. But he quickly decided against the idea, it was too stupid and whether he liked to admit it or not, Wanda was much more powerful that he was. "I'm Wanda. Would you like me to take you back to your group? It's easy to get lost here."

Before Peter could respond, he saw a burly man running towards them. He briefly remember him introducing himself as Harold head of security. "Hey, what are you two doing here? Wanda, you're supposed to be with Captain Rogers and kid where are you supposed to be?"

"With Mr. Stark."

"Come on, I'll take you there." Happy grumbled as he mumbled something under his breath. Wanda giggle and winked at Peter and Peter almost smiled.


"Great first day everyone," Tony flashed a winning smile at the room as he took a sip of whisky. "I call today's day a success."

"How long is this again?" Steve asked warily as he took a coffee cup from Wanda.

"At least until the end of the semester," Tony looked at him with amusement. "What's wrong, Rogers? You can handle assassins, but you can't handle a couple of high schoolers?"

Steve rolled his eyes as he took a sip of his coffee, "I can handle them, they are just a little more energetic than I expected. I felt like I was at a Meet and Greet instead of just actually teaching them something, are they all like this?"

Tony shook his head as he thought about the slim, pale boy. "Not all of them, one of them didn't seem excited to be there. In fact, he was freaking me out with his daze look that he had on his face. I think his name was Patrick. I even lost him for a second."

"His name is Peter," Wanda spoke up quietly. "And I found him in your lab after you guys left. Happy brought him back to you."

"Yeah, well this Peter wasn't impressed with anything that I had to offer, I'm telling you it was odd."

Natasha rolled her eyes at Tony's statement, "Oh, please you only find it odd because he isn't kissing your ass."


Peter chewed on the ramen noodles of his Instant Soup as he waited for Dimitri to connect online. He hoped that Dimitri would be please with his improvement, after all it had only been a couple of days and the last thing that Peter wanted was to be replaced.

He tensed, if he was replaced then they would probably send the Winter Soldier after him which means his fate would be-

"Spiderman, what is the update?" Peter could see that Dimitri was sweating which meant that he had been in the middle of training someone or torturing them. Or both.

"Today was my first day of the Stark Internship. Stark is an imbecile."

Dimitri chuckled. "Yes, he's a bit full of himself, but don't get too comfortable Peter. He's smart and he has eyes everywhere. What about Wanda?"

"I meet her too," Peter said slowly. "From what I can see she's gotten weaker in her time with the Avengers. She's overcoddled."

"Then this should be easier than you expected. Don't disappoint me, Peter you won't like the results."
