(Tony and pepper aren't together)

After texting Peter, without knowing it was Peter, obviously, tony turned his attention back to the meeting. That he defiantly SHOULD have been paying attention to.

But wasnt.

Luckily, it was only a meeting for the avengers, not S.I.

"So, are we all clear on that?" Nick Fury finished explaining.

Tony raised an eyebrow and slowly inched closer to bruce, who was sitting in front of him. "What...are we...talking...about...?" He whispered slowly, trying not the draw attention.

Bruce looked around to make sure no one noticed them whispering. Fury hated when people spoke during the meetings.

"We're talking...about...our next...mission." he said cautiously, talking with his hand covering his mouth.

Tony nodded, but slowly stopped. "What mission??" He asked, forgetting to keep quiet.

"Stark!" Fury yelled. All the avengers turned to Tony. Nat rolled her eyes. Bruce cringed. Steve sighed and scoffed. Clint tried hiding a snicker, and thor looked clueless.

"Yes dear?" Tony immediately responded, turning towards fury with a smile.

Fury sighed. "Meeting over." Nat smirked and gave Tony a look.

She and Clint left the meeting room and soon, eveyone followed.

Tony stood up and as he was about to leave the room, fury called him out. "Stark-" he started.

Tony smiled his famous smile and turned around. "Yes, sir?"

Fury rolled his eyes. "-Heres the mission file," he gave tony a file filled with photos and Notes. "Read it over and get ready. Be on the look out"

Fury left, leaving Tony with the files.

Tony sighed and left the room, and headed towards the elevator, but stopped dead in his tracks.

He smiled and turned around looking for one person in particular.

Pepper.

Pepper was standing in front of a desk with a clipboard in hands, talking to a couple asking about the economy.

He tiptoed over and suprised her from behind. "Hey, Pep!" He said.

Peppers eyes went wide, until she turned around to see who it was. She shrugged jum off and continued to talk to the couple.

Once the couple thanked pepper and walked off, she continued doing work at her desk, barely giving Tony attention.

"Might I say pepper, you look...dashing in that...dress...suit." he struggled to compliment her.

Pepper turned from her work and gave an obvious sarcastic smile. "Thanks Tony, that really just, means a lot."

She turned back to her work and rolled her eyes. "What do you want?"

"Well, since you asked-" tony smiled. Pepper gave a slight smile and scoffed. "Could I please have the names of all the kids interviewing for the internship?" He asked, ever so politely.

Pepper raised an eyebrow.

AT PETERS APARTMENT

Peter stood In his room. What to wear?

After asking karen for her opinion, peter decided on a science pun shirt, that says, 'when life gives you mold, make penicillin.' And the best, newest pants he owned.

He looked in the mirror and adjusted his fluffy hair. "How do i look karen?" He asked with a dorky smile.

Peter placed the bluetooth earpieces in his ears, and his phone In his pocket so Karen instantly connected.

"Like you're ready for an interview." She responded.

"Perfect!" Peter exclaimed.

He sprayed on some cheap 99c cologne on, grabbed his bag and dashed out the door to stark tower.

The way the interview was explained, was that around ten other teenagers were going to be there, and only four were going to be accepted.

Peter sped walk with nerves, and bystanders watched as Peter basically flew past.

He was ready!

Peter looked at his phone. The time was 9:49am. The interviewer wanted him there at 10. He had to pick up the pace, so he started lightly jogging just to be sure.

STARK TOWER

"Come on, tony. You know I cant legally give you that information." Pepper said as she laughed, turning back to her work.

Tony didn't waste a second with his reply. "So give it to be illegally."

Tony smirked. Pepper did a playful sigh. "why do you want to know?" She asked.

Tony narrowed his eyes. No one else knew about his online pal.

"Will you give me the list?" He asked again.

Pepper thought about it, but remembered to keep her morals in check. She smirked, "you know i cant."

Tony smirked back. He started walking off. "Well then, I cant legally tell you why."

He headed off towards the elevator.

Tony pressed one button out of all the 60 levels, and waited alone. Ding.

He stepped in, pressed for level 54, and just as the door started to close, a small teenager ran in.

"Sorry-!" The kid said. His bag got stuck between the doors, but he pulled it towards him just enough, until the doors finally closed.

The kid, in a puff, gathered his composure and caught his breath.

Tony stood there awkwardly. He wasnt good near teenagers. "Uh, kid-" he began.

The kid turned their head towards tony to reveal,

Peter.

Peter stood there, star struck.

"-what floor you going to?" Tony finished asking.

Peter stood there in awe, and soon after snapped out of his gaze. "Oh- uh, 55, please." he smiled awkwardly.

Level 55 was where the interviews were, and with his luck, eveyone else was already there.

Tony pushed the button peter requested, and just stared at the kid, taking in his look. "Uh, tony," he decided to introduce himself. He raised out an hand for Peter to shake.

Peter hesisted, but shook his hand with a huge, polite, smile. "Peter." He said.

After the handshake ended, Peter stood in awe, staring ahead, trying not to draw attention.

And Tony decided to take out the file and have a look at the mission.

Tony opened the cover of the file and saw a huge picture of spiderman swinging through Queens.

Seeing spiderman in a photo through the corner of his eye, Peter noticed a sticker on the file, saying "SHIELD."

gears started clicking in his mind. SHIELD want somthing to do with spiderman, he thought.

Tont flicked through the pages and saw that SHIELD didnt want to capture spiderman, they wanted to talk to him about another mission.

Tony knew why SHIELD needed spiderman.

But Peter thought he was now WANTED by SHIELD. And not in a good way.

As the elevator reached level 54, tony smiled at Peter and nodded goodbye.

Peter would have been gushing over the fact TONY FRIGGEN STARK even looked at him, but now all he could think about was doging SHIELD.

The elevator continued and reached the next level, level 55. Peter cringed at all the anxiety enduced thoughts he had about his double life, and tried thinking about the interview.

He had two things to think about, but he couldn't decided which was more important.

But then a third thought entered his mind.

As he saw Flash Thompson, wearing a suit, standing in the interview room.

Flash turned to peters direction and smirked.

This is going to be a long interview, thought peter.
