Peter's POV

"Okay, you can do this. You can do this, Peter. Just text her. She's not that scary...wait, yes she is... GAH JUST DO IT ALREADY!" I thought. I had gotten MJ's number not too long ago, but I had been too afraid to text her yet. "You'll never know if you don't try. Maybe Parker Luck™ will take a break.... yeah... just... do it. You've liked her for a long time now, it's time to let it out." My brain was going nuts over this, I'm just so nervous! She has always been so cool... but she is way out of my league, I'm not good enough for her... I could never be. 

11:43 p.m.

It was almost time for May to get home. If I'm not asleep by then, I'm dead. For real. She had the night shift every weekday (It's Friday right now), and if I wasn't asleep by the time she was home, there was no way I would be able to heal fast enough to go out on patrol. "Alright, Pete. Just do it. Just..."

??? (A/N It just doesn't show Peter's name on the other end, that's why I put question marks, so just so you know, this is Peter. Okay thats it.)

Hey

I did it. There's no going back. Now we wait.

>-<

Tony's POV

I was in my lab tinkering, like always, when my phone buzzed. I finished my seventh cup of coffee and checked my phone. An unknown number...? ... I swear if it's Steve...

???

Hey

??? 

Hi?

>_<

Peter's POV

Oh crap. She texted back. I took a big breath, and I kept it going.

???

Hey. I just wanted to say that I know you are probably way too cool for me, but I wanted to let you know that I like you.

???

I'm flattered, but you know I'm married, right, Steve?

Hold up, what?

???

I'm not Steve...

???

Then, who are you? How'd you get this number?

???

...

This isn't MJ, is it?

???

No, who is this?

???

STRANGER DANGER STRANGER DANGER

???

Kid, calm down. I'm not some pedophile.

???

-_-  that's exactly what a pedophile would say...

Who are you?  Are you an old man? How'd you know I'm a kid?

???

Well, you just confirmed it, but it was just a guess. But Im not that old.

Mr. Fe

and good luck with your crush ;)

The Kid

=_= 

oh yeah hehe

ITS 11:58 I TOTALLY FORGOT. I STILL HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO. Oh well. Living is a little more important than schoolwork. I got in bed, and I pretended to be asleep for a while, until I actually fell asleep-

>_<

Tony's POV

That was nice. I haven't had much human interaction in a while. Sure, the team has tried to pull me out of the lab, but it's comfy. I like it here. I can just focus on my work and get away from reality. I can just stand here with DUM-E and FRIDAY to keep me company, and no one can bother m-

"TONY YOU BETTER GET YOUR IMSOMNIAC BUTT OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, OR I'M LOCKING YOU OUT OF THE LAB FOR A WEEK!!"

Pepper.

"COMING, DEAREST!"

I knew if I didn't come, I would face her wrath. I shuddered at the thought of it. I remember, last week, Clint had fallen out of the vents and he was dressed in his pajamas and Nat's slippers, eating Bucky's plums, and he broke the vent shaft. Bucky had whined to Pepper, and Pepper being the mom she is, unleashed all of her wrath on Clint... let's just say that he didn't speak for a while. He turned into this pouty toddler and always had his hearing aids out, because he didn't want to deal with anyone. I didn't blame him, but it was a hilarious sight. Although, he didn't dare look into Pepper's eyes after that. He seemed terrified everytime Pepper was in the same room as him. I didn't want to deal with that, so I ran out of the lab to wherever Pepper was. 

I found her in her office, glaring at me. Just in case I was in trouble, I put on my most innocent eyes and smiled at her.

"Yes, Mrs. Stark?"

"Tony, stop it. I'm serious. You haven't slept in three days," She checked her watch, "now four, and you know you have other responsibilities besides your suit." I looked down, ashamed. 

"I'm sorry, Pep. I'm still having nightmares." I told her. She softened her eyes. 

"I know, I'm sorry too, but you have to sleep sometime. Just promise me you'll try."

"I promise. What did you need me for?" I asked.

"You have to arrange this test for a chance at an internship. It is for STEM high schools all around New York. It is very important for these kids." She told me.

"I understand." I took the papers and I got to work. I wondered about The Kid while I was making the test. Maybe he'll try out for it.... probably not. I better not get my hopes up, considering there aren't many kids interested in science, so there is a low chance he's even in a STEM school.

 I don't really have high expectations for the intern spot (I mean, they're teenagers), but they have to show that they're smart enough to handle the work we give them here at SI. 

All of the avengers made up after "Civil War" (that's what the media had dubbed it), and we worked out the accords, so we all moved into Avengers Tower/ SI. It is now one whole. There are some who aren't always there, like Scott, T'Challa, Wanda, Vision, etc. They have places of their own. Clint's family was on vacation for a while , and so Clint has been staying at SI because he had his duties to attend to (but mostly because he didn't want to leave his bff alone). 

It was 5:30 am, and I had finally finished making the test. Steve, Bucky, and Sam were up getting ready for their morning run. I can expect Sam to be returning in about 20 minutes before the others, because he'll get frustrated after hearing "on your left" so many times. It's the same everyday. 

Like I said, I finally finished making the test, and on Monday, STEM schools all over New York are going to take it, and soon I'll get a new intern! They'll be working down in the intern labs with some college kids, and this internship will look great on their college application. I know I, Tony Stark, shouldn't be this excited about getting a high school intern, but I'm not sure. I just have this feeling...

A/N Ok, how was that? Not bad for my first story, I guess. I have a few ideas on where to take this, and I have no idea when my next update will be, but hopefully soon! I'm really excited about this! Have an awesome day!
