The Coffee Mission

"So, that brings us to you. Mr parker." Gwanda explained. Peter zoned back in. The floor in the stark tower was loud as ever and his senses were starting to go crazy. "Hm?" Peter said.

The fellow interns, yes, including lilac, had all been given their spots on what their doing in the internship, and Peter was about to be told what he was doing. "Peter?" Gwanda said.

Peter snapped back into attention. "Sorry- yes. I'm listening." He apologized. Gwanda smiled. "Good news, mr parker. You have a meeting with Ms Potts and she will give you your first task." She said.

Peter looked around. No one else had been told to go to pepper. "...me? No one else?" Peter clarified. "Yep." Gwanda said. "In fact,"  gwanda looked at her watch. "If you go to level....42 she should he waiting for you in the first room to your right."

Peter took all that in, yet he was still confused. "Thankyou, ma'am." Peter smiled. Gwanda extended her hand out. "Call me Gwanda. I'm only 4 years older than you, after all." Peter shook her hands. Appetnlty she had an internship 5 years ago, and that's how she was now working in stark tower. How cool.

Peter walked away, and got to the elevator before forgetting what to do. Floor level...dam it I need to listen. Peter thought.

"Level?" Somthing spoke. Peter got confused but noticed the sound coming from above. "That is so awesome. Wow." He said. Then remembered what to do. "Level 42." Karen reminded him. "Uh, level 42." Peter said. And with that, the elevator went. "Thanks karen." He said.

42 levels later, peter found his way to Ms Potts, with karen's help of course. He knocked on the door and got a, "come in," as a signal.

He braced himself to see Ms Potts , but instead saw Ms Potts and Mr stark.

"Oh, am I interrupting? I'm sorry," Peter went to leave, but pepper stood up from her desk and went in to pull Peter back. Tony was leaving on peppers desk and trying to look at the files.

Peter stepped back in the room and closed the door slowly. Mr stark saw Peter and nodded. "Please, sit." Pepper smiled. Peter sat down, and so did pepper. Tony awkwardly knelt on the ground.

The three sat quietly in silence. "...did I do somthing?" Peter asked quietly.

Pepper laughed and looked at tony. "No, you did everything right. Me and tony talked it over, and..." she explained. Peter looked at tony. "And I would like to make you my personal intern." He said.

Peter stopped thinking. In fact, his heart stopped beating. "Wait, what?" He asked. Tony stood up. "Well, for the start you'll just be providing ideas, making me coffee and cleaning up, but I'll need all the help I can get." He leaned in for a handshake.

Peter shook his hand and smiled. "Wow, oh my gosh thankyou. Did I...do somthing good, or...?" He turned to pepper.

Pepper got out some paper work and placed it in front of Peter. "Well, you stopped a fight and apperently made a good first impression on Tony, which I gotta say, doesn't happen a lot." She said. Tony nodded.

She placed the paper in front of Peter and hanged him a pen. "Sign here and you'll have the opportunity of being tonys first intern." She said, pointing to the paper. "If you want, of course."

Peter quickly signed and returned the paper. "Yes! Thankyou ma'am, and thankyou mr stark." He said. Tony nodded at pepper and everyone stood up. "Its my pleasure." Pepper said. Everyone walked out of the office.

Pepper wished Peter luck, and quickly left. Peter now suddenly became akward. "So, my parker. your first job is to grab me some coffee. Not too strong, but defiantly not too weak. I need energy but I also need to sleep in a few hours." He said, already speed walking to the elevator.

Peter nodded, and caught tony before he clicked the level. "Uh, mr? Is there a time limit?" He asked. That question shook Tony. Within the 20 past interns he had tested in the past, none of them had ever asked questions besides "is there pay?"

Tony gave an intriguing smile and pushed a level peter didnt know. "10 minutes." He said, then the elevator doors closed and he was gone.

Peter stood there and realised; he had no clue where he was. He added up what hes seen so far and calculated there must of been like 100 levels on this tower. What one had a coffee machine? And where did tony go?

With now 9 minutes to go, peter started walking off.

•••

"What did you start with?" Pepper asked as she caught up with tony of the 54th level. Tony slowed down to pepper speed.

"The coffee test. Get this; he asked about a time limit." He announced. Pepper raised her eyebrows. "That's new." She said. Tony agreed. They walked into Tony's office. Level 54 was Tony's level, the exact middle level of the whole tower.

"So hows this coffee test work?" Pepper asked as Tony sat down on a couch and sipped one of his already premade good coffees. "Well, I give them a 10 minute time limit," he started.

Pepper was shocked. "That's considerate." She said. Tony laughed. "Yes, but they're in a 108 leveled tower with no sense of direction. I didnt tell them where the one and only coffee machine Is." He said.

"Ahhh." Pepper said.

"Then," tony continued. "Once they find the level, level 27 by the way, theyll meet the avengers."

Peppers mouth opened. "You bought the avengers into this?" She asked. Tony laughed a little. "Yeah. That's normally where everyone gets stuck. One dude actually asked nat out on a date and threatened to sue me when she said no." He said.

Pepper snorted. "Anyway, once they've seen the avengers, they not only have to make the coffee, but then find me." He said.

Pepper gave a slow clap. "Very well thought out." She applauded. Tony gave a humble Bow. "I am a genius, after all."

"So what now?" Pepper asked. Tony smirked and sat in front of his computer. He clicked an app and saw live surveillance footage of everywhere peter went.

"Now we watch."

•••

"Hello?" Peter said trying to get somones attention. He sighed and decided to think rationally. Peter speed walked and entered the elevator. "Level?" The thing spoke again. Peter prayed this would work. "What level does Tony stark make his coffee?" Peter asked.

Seconds went by and Peter thought the A.I couldnt respone, but the doors closed and without a sound, took him to level 27.

Peter waited until the doors opened, then left. The floor was pretty straight foward, a couple turns here and there, but he followed the signs and saw the coffee machine. He ran over and went to begin, when he heard them.

•••

"Peter's pretty smart, Tony. I'm not surprised he figured out how to use the elevator." pepper said.

Tony repaid the clip of Peter using his A.I. "he may be smart, but he must also be crazy. Why does he keep touching his ear"

Pepper laughed. "Ear infection? Keep watching, hes getting to the avengers."

•••

"Why'd tony bring us in today?" Somone asked from behind. Peter turned around and saw THE bruce banner. His jaw dropped. Bruce was talking to Clint. "The hell would I know? Stark doesn't tell me anymore than he does you." Clint replied.

then captain America walked into frame. "I'm getting coffee. Anyone want any?" He asked.

Peter freaked out. He needed to remember, hes spiderman. Hes met up with heroes all the time. Just maybe not while looking like a 15 year old kid.

"Yeah, I'll come." Black widow said.

Peter panicked more. He turned and noticed the kettle was boiled. But how does tony make his coffee? Peter was more of a tea kind of person.

Steve and nat both saw Peter. They gave each other a look that meant they knew what tony was up to now. Whenever he needed them to distract a kid, they came over. Nat rolled her eyes. "Hey Kid. You ever got an autograph from captain America?" Steve said proudly while placing a hand on Peter's shoulder.

Peter was surprised, but knew it was suspicious. What if they knew he was spiderman? And they needed to catch him. He had to focus. Peter turned back to the coffee. "Sorry, mr Roger's but I need to finish my job." He said. Steve's eyes went wide. "But I'll try and catch up later." He said.

"No questions you wanted to ask me? Black widow? Crime fighting sexy assassin?" She asked. Peter looked around nervously. "No ma'am." He said.

Karen began to speak; "five minutes left, peter." She said.

Peter sighed. Then turned back to nat as she and steve began to leave. "Wait, excuse me ma'am?" He said.

Nat smirked and turned around. "yes, kid?" She said. Peter looked embarrassed. Nat felt bad. Looked like he was going to ask her out, just like the rest of them. But, to her surprise she didnt need to turn him down.

"Can you show me how to make Tony starks coffee?" Peter asked.

•••

Pepper and Tony went silent.

"Well," Tony started. "That's a first." He continued staring at nat showing peter how to make coffee.

"Hes actualy doing really well." Pepper said. "Do you think he'll do it?" Peper asked.

"Well, honeslty that's the closest somones ever gotten already. But he has 4 and a half minutes and still needs to find me." Tony said.

Pepper nodded.

•••

A minute later, the coffee was done. Peter thanked nat and waved her goodbye with a smile.

Nat looked as he left. "He was nice." She said as she turned back to everyone. Steve added, "he didnt ask for a photo." He said. Clint and bruce were surprised. Thor finally walked into the room. "Am I late?" He asked.

Peter got back into the elevator. "Uh, person? Where is mr stark?" He asked.

"I cannot give out that information." The A.I replied. Peter sighed. Obviously he wouldnt be allowed to get that info. He had to think.

•••

"Gee, that's sad. I really liked him" tony stood up.  "What?" Pepper asked.

Tony slumped down on his couch. "Look pep, the kid has 2 minutes left to get me good coffee, and right now hes in an elevator and has to decide where I am out of 107 levels." Tony said. "Hes done." He sighed.

Pepper sighed and stood up. "You obviously dont believe In him enough then." She said.

Tony scoffed. "Face it pep. One out of 108 chances. That's like....math I cant even do."

Pepper rolled her eyes. "No, that's not what this is about. This is about you not being able to admit that I have found you an actully decent intern." She said.

Tony stood up. "If you're so good at it, then why did I fire all the other 20 people you suggested?"

Pepper stepped in and flicked his face. "Tony your just so picky, its irratating!" She said.

Tony rolled his eyes. "Now it's my fault you cant find somone decent?" He asked.

Pepper scoffed. "I did find you somone decent! And you're acting like hes failed."

"Well hes not here is he?" Tony pointed at the door, not looking away from pepper. "God I could really use a coffee right now." Tony sighed.

Peter stood at the door, like he had been for 10 seconds. They hadent heard him come in. "Um..." he said.

Pepper and tony turned to see Peter holding a coffee in one hand and a chocolate bar in the over. Pepper looked at tony. Tony looked at pepper.

Peter stood at the door quietly. "...heres your coffee, sir." He said as he gave tony his coffee. Tony sipped it and smiled. It was perfect.

"And heres a chocolate." He gave pepper the chocolate. "Thanks for this opportunity." He said.

Pepper looked like she was going to cry. She pulled Peter in for a hug and gave puppy dog eyes to tony. Tony sighed.

"Peter, you're hired." He said.

Peter broke from the hug. "...with all due respect, wasnt I already hired 10 minutes ago?" He asked.

Tony bit his lip. "Technically, no. That coffee quest was a test. And you passed. Congratulations." He said. Peter smiled.

"Thankyou sir." He said. Peter looked at the time. Tony caught his glance. "You may go home now, mr parker. But get good rest. I need you here, 7:00am sharp." Tony said.

Peter smiled. "Thankyou, my stark. I'll look forward to it." He nodded to pepper and began walking out.

Pepper remembered somthing. "Oh, peter-" she said. Peter spun around.

"How did you know it was this level?" She asked. Tony stepped in. That was an intriguing question.

Peter shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Educated guess." He said. Pepper looked at Tony. "Goodbye, mr stark, ms Potts." Peter said as he dashed to the elevator.

Peter left, and quickly, after tony spoke. "I like him."
