The bus pulled up to the tower and everyone (even the bus driver) looked up at it in awe. Peter saw the tower every week, but it would never get old.

He climbed out of the yellow school bus behind Ned and MJ and soon the trio was standing side by side admiring the building. MJ, who was known for being stoic and unimpressed, had a glimmer in her eye as she stared at the building.

"Pepper Potts is an icon to this world today, she's a role model to all the young women of this century, and look at what she's created!" MJ gushed as she went on about Pepper and how amazing she was.

Peter made a mental note to introduce MJ to Pepper one day.

The group walked into the main lobby where a tour guide, Adalyn (who was also an Intern) was waiting. She introduced herself to the group, smiling briefly to Peter, before handing out badges to the class. "One thing you all should know is that we have a zero bullying tolerance here. SI hates bullies, so be nice to each other for today or otherwise, things will go down."

No one was really listening to her, Adalyn could tell by the way they were all staring starry-eyed at their badges. Oh well, she gave them the warning, and if they did it anyways that was on them and not her, hopefully, FRIDAY had caught her speech on camera to prove that she was following the instructions she was given for this.

Peter smiled at Adalyn who was looking slightly unnerved, 'this is clearly her first time giving a tour,' he thought to himself as she didn't quite command the attention of the group. He knew her from when they worked together on a Stark Phone prototype, she was having some trouble with the wiring and Mr Stark had told Peter to go and help her out, which he happily did. Peter loved meeting other interns, it was nice to talk scientific and geek out over new discoveries without being made fun of. In fact, most of the interns geeked out with him.

Everyone but Peter was given a badge, which Flash quickly took notice of. "Parker, why don't you have a badge?" he shouted at him, quickly drawing the attention of their classmates to Peter.

Mr Stark had a thing about someone having two badges activated at once, it was a security risk because if they were too busy guarding one badge they could lose the other, and losing badges were a big no-no here since if someone got ahold of one they would have access to prototypes of weapons that could potentially end up hurting a lot of people.

So, with Mr Stark's one badge rule in mind, Peter pulled out his usual badge he used to get into the tower. Unlike the badges his classmates and teacher got, which were fully white and had their names and the number "1" on them, his had a blue stripe on the top and bottom, his name under the Stark Industries logo, his picture, and a number "10" printed on it in bold letters.

Adalyn spoke up, "Mr Stark is against handing out multiple badges to a person, so Peter will have to use his personal badge for this trip." Everyone was staring at his badge, probably digesting that he was, in fact, not lying about his internship.

A guy from his class piped up, "What do the numbers mean?"

With a smile, Adalyn answered, "Well they represent clearance level, they go from level 1 to all the way to level 10. For example, you all have a level one badge which means you're a tour group or visitors, while because I'm an intern, have a level six badge. The numbers go up to ten because there are 100 floors here at Stark Tower, and for every clearance pass, you have that's how many floors you can go to without a superior escorting you. I have access up to floor 60, and you all have access for up to floor 10."

Flash piped up, "Why does Penis Parker have a level ten badge? It must be a mistake." Everyone, even his teacher, looked at Peter's badge at the big bolded 10.

Adalyn answered the question with the lie she and the other workers had been told and generally accepted, "He's Mr Stark's personal intern, when he works here he has to have access to all 100 floors in case Mr Stark needs something from one of them."

Flash didn't respond.

But the class did. And it sounded a lot like a bunch of gasps and questions if he could introduce them to Tony Stark.

Adalyn was having none of that though, she called for attention and started the tour, effectively shutting up everyone for the time being.

The next hour went pretty smoothly if Peter did say so himself. His Parker Luck™ hadn't ruined the experience too much, sure he got some glares and whispered name calling from Flash, but overall it was fun. He got to learn so much more about the place he worked in and even got to see some of Mr Stark's first inventions which were on display for them to see on floor 5.

Of course, the fun couldn't last forever. Soon they arrived at floor 58, which was where most of the interns did their work. Peter's class scanned their passes and Adalyn used her pass to override the system so they could gain access to the room. That wasn't needed for Peter of course, so when he scanned his badge FRIDAY popped up, "Hello Peter, would you like me to inform Mr Stark that you are here?" Before Peter could respond she continued, "He has been informed. Why are you here so early? Was your day okay?"

He didn't have to scan his badge earlier since he just let Adalyn open all the doors, but since the lab on floor 58 often caught on fire due to failed experiments everyone had to scan their badge for safety reasons if the fire were to spread and they had to get everyone out.

"My day was fine, FRIDAY, I'm just here on a field trip with my class," he told her so she'd stop worrying. For a computer, FRIDAY was quite smart and even had empathy like Karen, his AI. Mr Stark truly was a genius, he was the only person to successfully accomplish an empathetic, self-aware, and helpful, AI.

FRIDAY made a sign of recognition, "Ah, Midtown High School tour scheduled for 9 am to 3 pm. I will leave you to the tour of the Tower then." She stopped talking and Peter knew that she wouldn't talk to him again for the day unless he asked her a question.

He looked over at his class who was gaping, some looked confused as they looked around for where the voice had come from. Meanwhile, the interns were continuing their work as if nothing had happened, they were used to FRIDAY talking randomly, and some of them even struck up conversations with her or asked her what she thought of their newest invention.

Ned looked like he was going to faint, he kept muttering the words, 'so cool,' MJ looked indifferent as usual, and Flash looked as if he was going to blow up, he definitely knew who FRIDAY was.

"How did you hack into the system huh Penis? I bet you don't even know Ironman, and that was just a recording you played on your phone. There's no way Tony Stark's AI actually knows you. You're a nobody!"

Adalyn looked over at Mr Harrington, who was turning a blind eye to what was happening. As much as he hated bullying, Mr Harrington knew that Flash's mom was influential on the school board and could get him fired if he reported Flash for bullying.

With an unimpressed sigh, Adalyn looked at Flash, "Look here, Eugene was it? Here at Stark Industries, we hate bullies and if you had listened to my speech earlier you'd know that, so you better zip it or you'll be kicked out." A few of the nearby interns who had been listening in nodded in agreement.

One of the interns named Jack butted in, "And you better hope Mr Stark didn't hear you calling Peter names- if you didn't know, Peter's his personal intern. You could not have picked the worst person and place to pick on someone, kid."

Someone cleared their throat and everyone turned around, even the interns had stopped chattering amongst themselves and were looking that way. Mr Stark was here and he had heard everything.

Ned leaned in and whispered, "See I told you someone would put Flash in his place. Also, Mr Stark is here if you wanna hide..."

Peter looked at his friend and back at Mr Stark. "Thanks, Ned," he uttered at his friend's obvious comment. Little late to hide now.

Mr Stark was looking livid, which was new for almost everyone in the room because it was a rarity to see him give off an emotion that wasn't indifference, or just being an egotistical bastard. But he was none of that right now, Mr Stark was angry at Flash.

Peter had seen him angry before, which ultimately lead to him getting his suit taken away after the boat incident, but this was different.

What he had seen was cold anger, masked with disappointment. But this, this was fiery hot anger as Tony watched a kid who was making fun of Peter for god knows how long.

"Whoever the hell you are, I'll have you know that Peter is one of the brightest kid I've ever met, which is why I hired him despite his age, and since you can't find it in yourself to not be a decent person, sorry kid, but I'll have to kick you out."

Mr Harrington stepped forward, "Uh, Mr S-Stark, sir, you can't kick him out, all the kids need adult supervision and I'm the only one here..."

Mr Stark stared took off his sunglasses and said, "Well that was bad planning on your part, and your problem, not mine, either the kid leaves or the group does. Adalyn here, gave the rule before the tour started and it's not my fault your student couldn't follow it.

"Peter? Since you're here you could go to your lab and finish that thing you're tinkering with, feel free to bring your friends, while your teacher and I have a chat about how stupid he is." He looked at the rest of the class, "and the rest of you can wander in here, the interns can tell you what they're working on if they want."

The teacher looked like he was going to object, but Peter grabbed Ned and Mj's arms and they ran off before he could get a word in.

He showed Ned the blaster he was working on while MJ read on the couch in his lab, and before long Mr Stark had shown up and told them that their class had gone back to school since the kid, Flash, couldn't learn his lesson on (in Mr Stark's words) "how not to be a dick." Tony had somehow convinced their teacher that it was okay to leave Ned, MJ, and him at the Tower, till the end of the day, and with that, the day got much better.

He spent the next few hours showing off his inventions with Ned as well as having Ned code that new web grenade he was crafting, while MJ played read and sketched their teacher and Flash's face in her Crisis Journal.

The field trip wasn't as bad as he thought it would be, in fact, it was one of the more fun days of the year. Peter smiled to himself as he watched MJ and Ned play with one of his web shooters. No, this field trip to Stark Industries wasn't bad at all.
