"Did I mishear something or did that guy just said that this kid works for 'the' Tony Stark?!" Elliot asked as he and Bettie walked up the entrance to Stark Tech. They brought the files back to the precinct and got the go to head over and do some questioning.

"He was just joking with us, working for Tony Stark and being an intern at Stark Tech are two completely different things." Bettie stated

"And how different are they?"

"Well for one you don't work for Tony Stark directly, and second an internship is only temporary meant to give students an experience of the work environment."

"But whether paid or not it's still a form of employment."

"Are we talking about internships or are we searching for some missing kids."

Elliot held his hands in mock defense "Ok ok, let's just get going." he went to the front desk flashed badges and asked to talk to Peter.

"He's not here right now, but go ask Alexander Sytsevich the two work together. He should be in the main lab straight down the hall through the twin doors."

He thanked her and they went to the lab to where an employee pointed out Alex working on a giant robot arm with two other interns.

"Excuse us young man are you Alexander Sytsevich?" Alex pulled up his goggles set his glasses back on and flicked off the blowtorch he was using.

"Yes I'm Alex, what do you need?"

"Alex we would like to talk to you about your friend Peter Parker."

Alex shook after he said that

"Is he in trouble ?"

"No no he's not we would just like to ask a few questions about him." Bettie assured him

Alex stared at them for a moment unsure if he should even talk to them. "Alright fine."

"Is there anyplace private we can talk?"

"All interns has their own private labs where they can work on projects in peace. Mine's this way." and Alex led the way to his which looked like a normal school science lab.

He sat at the large table with Elliot and Bettie across from him.

"Alright what do you wanna know, I'm guessing this has something to do with Bryan."

Dang! Did he tell all of his friends about this?! Elliot thought

"And I'll take that as a 'yes'." Alex stated

"Yes. We're reopening the case with some newly discovered evidence." Bettie stated.

"And I'm guessing you heard Peter and Ben are doing their own investigation on it."

"That's right and from what we heard they might already have some leads that we can use to help find Bryan and the other missing kids."

"Frankly think Peter and Ben are doing just fine on their own. Especially considering it took the police '15 years' and yet they still cannot find a single solid concrete piece of evidence." that time Alex had a bit of disgust in his voice.

Elliot continued "Even as that is true they are still children and may very well be putting themselves in danger by doing so. If it's possible these boys do manage to find the missing kids, there's no doubt in our minds they will get themselves hurt or at the worst killed if they attempt to free these children on their own. Look Alex, they need our help and we need their's."

Alex crossed his arms "I'm being honest here I say you guys are a bit out of your league on this one."

It was Elliot's turn to cross his arms "And what do you mean by that?"

"First before I say anything you have to promise this stays between us because I don't like spilling all of Peter's secrets to random people, detective or not."

Elliot and Bettie nodded promising not to say a word.

"Well let's just say that Peter is different from most of the interns here..."

"What do you mean by different?" Bettie asked

"For one his lab isn't in the building like all the others'..."

"So where is it?"

"...at Avengers Tower..."

They stared at him wondering if he was serious "That's not funny Alex, this is a very serious situation there's no time for jokes."

Alex slammed his hands on the table furious. "If you're not going to believe me than we're done talking!"

"Alright I'm sorry, it's just we already had a hard time believing that Peter's a Stark Tech intern. We're going to need a little more than that to believe he works 'in' Avengers Tower."

Alex calmed down "No I'm sorry for yelling but this is why I don't tell anyone about this. In fact it was hard for me to believe it myself at first."

"So what makes this kid so special that Tony Stark would give him his own lab in the tower?"

"Honestly I don't really know, after a week is when Mr. Stark first shows up to see how the new interns are settling in so far, him and Peter just seemed to connect..." then a smile crossed his face "If you'd seen those two that day, the smiles they gave each other, you'd think they were father and son."

"Is that so?"

"Yep, and that's all I can say cause I don't really know what he does when he's with Mr. Stark. But you should ask Miss Potts."

"Alright, but aside from that how did his connection with Tony Stark help him with finding his brother?"

"Again you'll have to ask Miss Potts, all he told me was something about a disk."

...

"Miss Potts? We're detectives Marsh and Fischer. We would like to ask you some questions regarding one of your interns."

"Yes come in!" Pepper answered and the two detectives took seats in front her desk.

"Alex already told me why you're here and I'm going to say this..." she turned her laptop around so the screen faced them "He's right you detectives are out of your league on this one." she played the video and both detectives' jaws dropped in shocked as they stared at the close up image of the kidnappers wearing the HYDRA insignia on their clothes.
