"Mr Stark, I have found-"
Shuri stopped speaking the second she realised she had walked into an ongoing conversation.
"Ah, introductions," said Tony, glancing between the young people. "Princess Shuri of Wakanda, Peter Parker of New York."
"Hey."
"So, you are the Spiderboy I hear about."
"Uh, it's actually Spiderman... your highness."
Tony's eyes widened at Peter's choice of words, then he glanced at Shuri when she chuckled.
"You don't have to call me that," she said, waving her hand, "but you do have to let me give you my ideas for your suit."
"Wait a second..." Tony began, but found himself superfluous to requirements - wasn't that just disturbing?!
"You can't improve... Wow!" Peter gasped on seeing the display Shuri pulled up.
"It is better, streamlined in a whole new way, thanks to the incorporation of vibranium."
"Like Cap's shield?" Peter checked, wide-eyed with wonder. "Hey, you think we could put that into the webs? Most metals would never work in a fluid, but vibranium..."
With their heads together, getting nerdy, they were just adorable, and Tony decided to leave them alone a while. Seemed to him the next generation of the Avengers were going to do just fine.
