Chapter 24
Wade looks at the picture he had been given. How cute the way Peter's mask made him look as he held up the cookies in front of him while the lenses where completely dialated like he was looking at some sort of happy drug that he was addicted to.
" No I don't recall seeing where anywhere else." Peter says through the phone.
For what ever reason Wade felt like the fact that they where talking on the phone was another step. Like they weren't just texting for was an Actual vocal phone call.
" Well she said you would see her again. Could it be class? Work? " Wade asks still looking at the picture as he lay taking up the length of his couch.
" No I know she isn't from work and I've never seen her in any of my classes... Unless." Peter says falling quiet.
" Unless?"
" I don't know. Those are the only real places I think-" Peter stops.
" What? " Wade asks slightly worried by the abrupt silence.
" I've been accepted for the internship." Peter says. " I've been requested to start tomorrow!" Peter exclaims in excitement.
" That's odd. Don't they normally give you a week or something-"
Wade is cut off by Peter's excited voice much to the Merc's amusement. " It was Tony Stark that actually replied. That's probably why I've been requested so soon. I know if he had something to do with it is be hired." Peter practically squeals.
[ Why did we get stuck with a little dorky nerd?] Yellow grumbles.
( Stuck with? You mean gifted with the fact that our soulmate is a beautiful little angle with a little sassy alter ego that can cling to walls. He has soft, and fluffy brown hair and pretty eyes. He's apparently very intelligent and is getting A what I'd hope to be a A+ job and he's only like what?)
' Said he's a freshman in collage so if put him possible at 19 or 20.'
( Yeah but he had classes done early so he could be younger if he jumped or skipped grades. )
[ And it's still early in the school year. Like Still August early. He might have taken summer classes to be as far along as he is now.] Yellow adds uninterested.
' Who knows.'
( Lord please he isn't jailbait.)
[ Why don't you just ask?]
" That's kinda stockerish don't you think?" Wade asks White.
" I know right? Like what's the big interest in him?" Peter responds on the other side of the phone.
Wade tenses slightly realizing how zoned out he had gotten with the boxes.
[ High five. Good luck with this, I wasn't listening and you two obviously weren't.] Yellow says in a flat tone before going silent.
" Uh. Maybe they just curious?" Wade tries.
" Well obviously. But to actually state flat out I'd get paid for information on Spider-Man is weird don't you think. Like seriously. He's asked me while I'm in cons time before but it's not like I'm going to give him answers. And talking to a photographer is a whole new level of privacy violation. " Peter says as Wade tried to figure out what he's talking about. There's clinking on the other side of the phone sounding like pots and pans.
" Peter are you making more food? After eating five of those huge things earlier?" Wade asks.
" I have a high metabolism."
" So do I. But you make me look like a child when it comes to amounts of food to eat. And I am not exactly a light eater. I thought you said you had enough to last for couple weeks in case you didn't get the job."
" I do. Enough to pay for everything except food. " Peter says.
" And how where you goi to eat then?"
Wade could tell Peter shrugs as he responds. " I was going to figure it out ".
Wade scolds the young Hero before they continued their earlier conversation which Wade came to figure it was about Stark the Spidey obsessor before they finally ended the call.
Like the rest of the world Wade knew Tony Stark was married to the one and only Steven Rodgers but he still didn't like the way the billionaire seemed to be interested in Peter. He could help but think paranoid things that perhaps wanted Spidey for himself.
Wade couldn't let something like that happen. Not when he and Peter seemed to finally take a step in the right direction.
[ Don't do anything you'll regret before we have more information. Just wait a while. ] Yellow says.
Wade would do just that. He didn't want to mess this up again.
( Never have liked the guy.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Mr. Parker?" Stark asks walking up to the teen who had only just entered the lobby of the billionaire tower.
Peter knew from other times he had been here as Spider-Man that the very top floor belonged to the avengers as a type of pent house, the floor under being Tony's personal lab and shop ( Peter had been there to help before.) and bellow was basically a level used for whatever S.H.I.E.L.D. Or the avengers Needed it for. Bellow was a Laboratories and offices working for Stark industries that works with the secret government branch.
" Mr. Stark," Peter greets along with a firm handshake.
Peter hoped he would slip up and confuse his relationships between Boss and Friend between his two identities.
Peter knows why Stark is so interested in him. Trying to stick his nose into Peter's life and business and any good parental figure would. Of course Spidey had never lived with the man but once he was accepted by the avengers Tony took a particular interest in. Him along with his husband Steve.
" Let me show you to your new work space. " Tony says leading Peter to an elevator. Once the doors close Tony turns to Peter. " So. Did you think about my additional offer?"
Peter sighs. " Mr. Stark I can't sell out his information."
" But you know him?" Tony persists.
" Well I, I mean no not.-"
" Stop lying. Would I ever be able to get his identity out of you?"
" Count if you dissected me alive for it," Peter replies.
' Except for the fact that my anatomy would probably give away the fact I am the Spider.'
" So you do know him then. He a friend? Brother? Boy friend?"
" I-uh. Um." Peter stutters.
" He has a boyfriend? And that little turd didn't tell me. We'll be having a little talk next him then." Tony says to himself leaving Peter to give him an shaken look. " Thanks for your help kid. Five dollar raise for the information. Brings you up to what? Twenty-seven and hour?"
" But I didn't say anything." Peter says trying to comprehend what all just happened.
" Sure you did." Tony says walking out of the elevator once the doors open.
' Twenty-seven dollars? Beats the Bugal pay any day. Hey that rhymed.'
" Parker."
" Oh right I'm coming sir." Peter says moving out of the elevator.
