A/N I know I normally do one of these at the end, but I just have to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EDITING THIS CEM0414

Tony's pov

I would rather be anywhere than here. In fact, I would rather be searching up this "Karen" person. That bug was really getting on my nerves, but instead I'm here, at midtown high, about to give a presentation on job opportunities after college.

I walk out onto stage, there is about 400 kids, all sitting on folding chairs, facing me. No pressure.

I begin my presentation, talking about the different branches of science that we offer. I also talk about things such as how to apply, what your chances of getting the job are, and what a typical day in the job looks like. No one was listening of course, how could they when they have my beautiful face to look at. They seemed just as surprised as I was that I was there. I hadn't even been told I had to do this presentation until last night after the meeting when pepper told me. At least she was nice enough to create the presentation for me, all I had to do was present it.

My eyes were scanning the crowd as I talked, all the faces were trained on me. Gods, its just like the press meetings. I continued talking and trying not to make awkward eye contact with anyone.

That's when I saw the three teenagers near the back of the room. Two of the three were leaning into each other, the girl holding onto the boy and holding his head. Next to them sat another boy who was looking awkward. Something was familiar about them, but I quickly moved my eyes, as to not seem like I'm staring at them.

As I continued speaking I couldn't help but occasionally look, to try to figure out where I knew them from, though, as they were at the back of the assembly, I wasnt able to see their faces too great.

While glancing at the trio I saw the boy who was being held flinch, though nothing had happened. Meanwhile the girl clamped her hands tighter around his head, and the other boy moved a bit closer to him.

That's when I recognized them. I had seen those involuntary, protective shifts before. Sure just about everyone had them, but when the boy did it, it reminded me of that day. Those were the kids that we dropped off at the cinema after they were almost mugged.

To late I realized that I had looked there direction for a second too long. The girl looked up and met my eyes.

So much for avoiding awkward eye contact.

I looked away, but I could feel the girl starting at me. I tried to ignore whatever was going on with those 3. While trying to ignore their section in general, I continued the presentation.

Peter's pov

I REALLY didn't want to go to school today, but I have to, I have a HUGE test during ELA which I could not afford to miss, especially seeing as I already had an F in that class. There was also supposed to be a surprise guest assembly today, and I didn't want to miss that.

So, ignoring the hammering in my head, I dragged myself out of bed. The banging of the pans had not helped my growing headache.

The kitchen looked like a hoard of elephants came bareling through. Before leaving for school myself, I cleaned all the mess up.

Soon I was trudging my way down to the bus stop, my head not feeling any better, if anything, it felt worse. The bus was louder than usual, and my enhanced hearing didn't miss anything. All the shouts all the whispers all the squeaks of the breaks, they all sounded 1000× louder than usual.

It was a relief to get off the bus, but it didn't really do much in the long run, and thepain was starting to spread, making me want to throw up. I stumble into the school and to my locker, Mj and Ned already are there, waiting for me to show up. When they saw me, Ned came over to help act as my crutch. "Dude, you look like hell, what happened, don't tell me you fought THEM again"

I mumbled a quick "headache"

Ned sighed, "you know how your headaches work, why did you even come to school"

I slowly opened my locker, the sound of the lock sliding off the frame made me wince "I have a test, and we have the assembly" I manage to grunt out.

Mj shakes her head "you stubborn idiot" but her voice only carries a bit of worry, "either way, too late to go back now, the assembly is first period. Come on"

As we walk, I slouch and groan a bit, EVERYTHING HURTS. I stumble to the side, but Ned catches me. Mj looks back with a bit of worry but keeps walking. I continue on, with my arm on Ned for stability. When we get to the auditorium, I plop into a seat and fall to the side, just wanting to cry myself to sleep from pain. Mj was right, I knew what I had to do to get rid of these pesky sensory overloads, but I'm just to stubborn to. Oh well, its too late now.

Mj takes the seat next to me, and, being the good friend she is, allows me, grudgingly, to lay my aching body on her shoulder. When the surprise speaker walks in, I have to blink to make sure I'm not hallucinating from pain.

Tony stark. Tony stark is standing on the stage. Just my luck

Through my pained haze, I could tell he was talking about something, but I couldn't listen, in fact, every word spoken into the Mic made me feel like my head was going to explode. Mj must have felt me wince, and felt pretty bad especially because she willingly cupped my head, covering my ears.

The assembly felt like it lasted forever. When the car alarm from 3 blocks over blared, I almost whimpered in pain, but Mj just held me tighter, it was oddly comforting.

Thankfully tony finished up eventually. Sadly, that meant an applause, and when people are clapping for Tony stark, they get loud.

I couldn't help it. I let out a breathy whimper. Manly, maybe not. Justified, definitely. Ned and Mj heard my cries, and used the standing ovation as cover to get me into the slightly less noisy hall. This did nothing for me though, with my super hearing.

I ran into a wall. I turned around against it and slowly sank to the ground. Everything was to much. I could smell the sweat from the locker rooms half way across the school. I could see the bits of dust in the air. I could taste all the food I had ate within the past week. every detail of everything became too overbearing. The last thing I heard before blacking out was the pounding of footsteps and a voice in my ear.

Tony Stark's pov

I finished the presentation on the subject of how you would climb ranks in SI.

It didn't take me by surprise when I got a standing ovation, after all, I'm tony freaking stark. My attention was once again diverted to the three teenagers in the back of the room, they looked like they were trying to smuggle the third boy out unnoticed.

Flashing one more award winning smile at the crowd, I walked backstage, then out into the halls to try and find those three. As I navigated the maze of hallways, I remembered Nat's hunch. something didnt seem quite right with those three.

I turned a corner and found them all there. The skinnier boy with his back against the wall with the two others kneeling beside him, whispering to him. I rush over to see what happened.

"What happened" I asked the two, I think they said their names where something like.... Ted? Maybe?.... And.... Rochelle?

"H-he just has a migraine" the girl answers.

Though it was very small, I still noticed the small hesitation in her voice. I was once again reminded of Natasha's feeling. I shook the thought off though, waiting until later to think about it. Right now I have to get this boy to the nurse. I picked the boy up bridal style. "Where's the nurses office" I asked his two friends who were looking at me in shock.

"Uhh.. Follow me" the boy, Ted I believe his name is, hesitated.

We walk through the winding halls. Voices could be heard all around. The assembly must have just let out.

We got to the nurses office. I brought the boy inside. "What happened!?" The nurse exclaimed, while ushering me to put the boy on a bed

"He got a migraine Mrs. Lin" Rochelle the nurse, who's name must have been Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin started to usher me and the two children out.

"B-but" Ted stuttered

"Nope. he needs rest and to go home" the nurse said before drawing the curtains quickly around the boy.

The three of us awkwardly walked out of the office.

"Sooooo... That was your friend I'm guessing" I asked the two that were standing there awkwardly.

The only girl of the trio flashed a small smile, but it was clearly fake. When living with Nat you pick up a few things. For example, knowing when someone is really smiling or not. "Yeah," she told me, she pretended to grimace as if leaving my presence was a pain, which it is, but clearly not really for her and the boy beside her, "we should get back to class"

The boy, who had been quiet this hole time, finally spoke, "y-yeah" I didn't miss when the girl's eyes shot over to the boy, he then hastly added, "yeah, we have to go to class, you know," he also gave a smile, though no better than the girl's "crunch numbers"

Yep, something was definitely up with them. What kid willingly goes and "crunches numbers". Do kids even say "crunch numbers" anymore.

I just shrugged though, "ok," but as they were walking away, I had an idea "wait!" I called after them, I held out a hand to them, "I'm tony stark." I doubt they didnt already know that. they looked highly confused so I added "you are?"

"Ned Leeds" the boy -Ned not Ted after all- replied hastily.

The girl gave him a look, but I couldn't exactly discern what it meant. "I'm Mj" she told me curtly.

"Is that shortened?" I feigned curiousness.

"Yeah" she responded shortly, I knew she was trying to avoid the inevitable question that the boy had not caught onto.

"What? If I may ask" I questioned

She hesitated for a millisecond, "Michelle Jones"

I nodded, "who was your friend"

Her smile stayed where it was, but wavered a bit. "Peter"

Not wanting to seem suspicious myself, I left it at that. I nodded and shooed them off to class.

Now just to talk with Nat.

PETERS POV

The last thing I remembered was Ned and Mj trying to calm me down.

I had a few blurred memories of a furious Ms. Virli and the sickening bouncieness of a car. Everything after that is completely blank.

When I finally regained full consciousness, I felt the blissful feeling of no pain. I don't know how long I sat there just soaking up the feeling, but eventually the door to my room cracked open, Daisy popped her head in, she looked relieved to see me awake.

"Your friends are here" she stated then moved to the side, allowing Ned and Mj to be seen.

"We brought food" Ned smiled while Mj held up the chick-fil-a bag.

I smiled at them and ushered them inside while saying, "who would I be if I denied a chicken sandwich".

Once I heard Daisy's foot steps down the hall, I turned towards them, just in time for a sandwich to plop down on my lap.

I just smiled at them as I pulled the sandwich out of the insulated bag.

"Thanks" I took a off the buns and found all the pickles. They knew me well enough to order extra pickles. I spread them out the replaced the buns. I took a big bite of the sandwich, it tasted amazing. "So, what happened while I was out" I asked them.

Mj smirked at me and Ned just smiled, but when I asked my question, Mj seemed to sober up a little bit. "Well, we met Tony Stark" she deadpanned

"Oh!" I responded, "what happened?"

"Well..." Ned started, and he then went on to tell me all about what happened.

Mj didn't look so happy about it, but I saw nothing wrong with what happened and said as much.

"Imagine," Mj gave a hypothetical,"you're a rich egotistical person, who just helped 3 kids. Why would you care what their names are? Especially when you hadn't cared to remember them the first time you met." She sighed a bit while thinking it over, "I can't help but feel that something is going to happen." she stated.

"Probably because it is" I answered. She shot me a confused look, "I mean, things already are, aren't they? The FRICKEN AVENGERS are after me" I laughed a bit

She smirked a bit, "true"

"Anyway, what else happened today, other than the stuff with Iron Man" I changed the subject.

With that, Ned began talking about the terrible teachers, terrible kids and terrible homework that I missed today.

The day turned out pretty enjoyable after all.

A/N I AM SOOOO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG *gets on knees* FORGIVE ME. I don't have any excuse other than life was shitting in my cheerios. I made a promise though, and I am holding to it, so here this chapter is. I know it isn't action packed, but I hope it is enjoyable all the same.

Question:
What ships (if any) do you want to be in the story. If I do add ships, they will not take over anything. I've seen amazing stories get destroyed by ships being forced into them, so, if I do, they will not be anywhere close to a big part of the story. Just there to make you get a few feels. I was thinking of doing some spideychelle, but only if you guys want it. I will do anything except for starker and spidey pool (unless its spideypool platonically). So which ones do you want (you can choose more than one):

Stucky

Stony

Ironstrange

Spideychelle

Spideypool (platonic)

None

Other (comment)

also once again, THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH CEM0414 FOR EDITTING THIS THING, IT REALYYYYY NEEDED IT! Go check out her one shot book as well guys, it's great!
