 It was a late Sunday night. In fact it was the night after May and I had moved into the tower. The Avengers were all sitting around the dining room tower and we were playing a board game that I think Scarlett called Sherlock? It was a mix between Cluedo and Jenga, with a tiny little Sherlock balancing on the top of the Jenga tower. We were playing in teams and every time someone made an accusation a Jenga block was removed.

"I think it was... Purple, in the kitchen, with the rope," I listed off

I was waiting for Mr Stark and Clint to decide on a card to show me, when suddenly a thought crossed my head. It was something that I had almost forgotten about and it made me groan and drop my head to the cool surface of the table.

"Dude, you okay?" Scarlett, my teammate and the girl I shared a floor with, asked as I listen my hand and she got ready to pull a Jenga piece from the tower "You don't think you're last accusation set the team up to loose did you?"

"No, Scarlett, it's just that I have a field trip to the tower tomorrow. Guys. Please, please," I pleaded, banging my head against the table and rattling the Jenga tower "Guys. Don't do anything."

"Why not kiddo?" Asked Mr Stark, ruffling my hair "Could be a lot of fun."

"It's just a school trip! They already..." I trailed off and sighed shaking my head "Please."

"No promises," winked Clint, and I noticed Scarlett shake her head, and I smiled at her appreciatively

"Don't traumatize the kid," she said with a sigh You're gonna make us loose the game!"

"Red, garage, candlestick," said Natasha after she rolled the dice

"I agree with Scar, don't go down ther tomorrow, Tony," Pepper warned

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The next morning I was sitting at the breakfast bar, my head laying against the smooth, cool marble. The cool surface hitting my hot skin calmed the oncoming headache. I heard the elevator open and then the kettle boil qich meant Scarlett was awake, but I just kept my head down. When she sat next to me and put her head against my back I lifted my head to smile at her, greatful for the weird hug and small comfort that she provided.

"You okay?" She asked m3 gently

"Of course Peter will be okay, he'll have you as a tour guide," Mr Stark chuckled

"WHAT!" Scarlett and I exclaimed at the same time, our heads snapping towards the genius

"Pepper thought that if you guided the tour, then Tony wouldn't be able to gate crash it," Dr Banner explained from where he was sitting the table, eating his breakfast and reading the paper

"But I don't know the first thing about Stark Industries!" Scarlett exclaimed, confusing me "I get lost going between my floor and here!"

"That's why you have the ear piece. I'll be with you all day, you'll know exactly what to say that way," Mr Stark explained

I noticed her put her hand to her ear but I was confused. Why didn't Tony Stark's niece know anything about Stark industries? I didn't know but I turned to her and pulled the most undignified face I could. I poured my lips and gave her the puppy eyes, causing her to sigh. Checking the time I cursed under my breath and made a dash for the elevator.

"I guess I'll see you in an hour and a half then," I heard Scarlett call out

I whooped, punching the air and jumping as the elevator doors closed. Maybe today would go okay after all!

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

I was wrong. I was very, very wrong and I could only thank my "Parker Luck" as Ned and I had dubbed it, for the situation. As soon as I got to school I had to get on the bus, and the doors shut behind me. Being late was the least of my worries though.

"Hey, Penis! I'm glad you're here!" Flash called as soon as I sat down next to Ned "Now we can all see just how fake that internship is! Now everyone will know you're a liar! Are you sure killing yourself wouldn't easier then that?!"

"Don't worry about him," Ned mumbled as I hung my head

"If anyone wanted to kill themselves they would climb up to your ego and jump to your IQ," MJ stated, and when I looked across her eyes hadn't even left her book

That got Flash to calm down with a humph. As soon as we were on the move, Ned began to ramble, and I smiled but looked out of the window, shutting him out. Ned could probably put ramble Scarlett's sister, and she was eight!

Eventually we pulled up to the tower and everyone got out, looking up at Avenvers Tower in awe. Everyone except for MJ, but her eyes were still on her book. Even the teacher, Mr Harrington, herding everyone inside the lobby didnt stop the awed look on people's faces.

"Do you think we'll get to meet Mr Stark!" Ned asked, and Flash walked up behind me

"Yeah, Parker, do you thing your good friend Tony Stark will make an appearance?" Flash hissed in my ear "Oh wait, you dont know him so you wouldn't know."

"Ned, we've already met him," I explained, ignoring Flash

I continued to ignore Flash, instead turning my head to the sound of clicking heels. Scarlett rounded the corner, coming out of the doorway just behind the reception desk. She had changed since this morning, and in her arms she carried a plastic tub.

"Hey, Parker, you work here, think you can set us up?" Flash asked from behind me

I dont know why but that comment made my blood boil. I tried to brush it off, smiling at Scarlett when her searching eyes found mine. She looked relieved to see me and offered everyone a confident smile.

"Alright!" She exclaimed in a voice that I had yet to hear her use "You guys must be Midtown High! My name is Scarlett and I'll be your tour guide today!"

"Excuse me but we were supposed to have a woman called Amy?" Mr Harrington asked

"I'm sorry, but Amy was needed in RnD and I'm her replacement," Scarlett paused briefly and then lied smoothly "Now, if you could all please line up and take a pass from the box that would be great! Don't drop these or loose them, they may only work for today but we will not be printing you another one. You need to scan these before you enter every room here in the tower. Are there any questions?"

No one moved to ask a question, not until Flash caught Ned and I pulling our cards from our bags. His eyes widened, and then became the size of saucers when he saw the clearance levels on them.

"Miss, what do the different levels of clearance mean?" Flash asked, clearly trying to suck up

"The different levels of clearance depend on what your job is! Guests and tour groups will have a level one, investors and other high end guests will have a level two, interns and other workers have between a three or s four and the Avengers, Pepper Potts and a select few others will have a level five," Scarlett explained, leading the group over to where we would first need to scan our cards "You may also notice that there are different colors! Red, blue or yellow. These are to indicate what parts of the floors you have clearence for, with meeting rooms and the museum being yellow, labs and storage being blue and the personal floors being red."

"So why does Penis Parker and his fat friend have level five, red cards?" Flash asked and I shrieked away, but Scarlett just smiled

"I don't tolerate bullying and I'm not the only one in the tower who feels that way. Peter is Mr Stark's personal intern and needs to be wherever he is. Ned sometimes comes and helps Peter with some of his work and both boys are valuable assets to this company. Now..."

As Scarlett explained that we were going to have to tap our cards against the side of the machine and then step through the metal detector Ned's eyes had grown wide and Flash had stomped off.

"Dude, she knows my name!" Ned exclaimed

"She has Mr Stark in her ear," I explained

"Dude, Mr Stark knows my name!" Ned exclaimed "That's so cool!"

I shook my head and waited until it was my turn to tap my card, pinning it onto my shirt and shaking my head. I tuned out what Scarlett was saying, having heard all of it before. The first floor that we went to was the museum, and as Scarlett stood to the side, trying not to look too in awe of everything around her, Ned pulled me over to a display.

"Dude, look!" He exclaimed, pointing over at ot "It's you!"

"Wow," I breathed, shocked "Does this make me an Avenger?!"

All around the room were similar displays with weapons or suits of all the other Avengers, and a giant yet fake Arc Reactor sat in the middle. Scarlett had given a speach about it as soon as we entered the room and then had let us wander around the exhibits, but I couldn't help but stare in shock and horror at my first ever suit, sitting there behind the glass. I felt Flash walk up behind me and lean in close so that no one could hear what he was whispering.

"Since you work here you must have seen this room a dozen times already," Flash mocked "I don't know how you're pulling this off already, Penis, but there's no way your as cool as Spiderman. Only he could be cool enough to work here."

MEANWHILE

"Tony, are you hearing this?" Scarlett asked into the com in her ear "This kid, I swear to the gods..."

"Peter said that Flash had stopped bullying him," Tony replied from his workshop, where he had feed from the tour his protege was on of his home

"Yeah well clearly he lied," Scarlett seethed "If it weren't for my damned hearing, I wouldn't be picking this up but I'm glad that I am."

"I promised Pepper I wouldn't go down there," Tony sighed, before his eyes lit up and he grinned "Butttttt"

"Buuuttttttt," Scarlett copied

...

...

...

"I have an idea."

AND NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING

We all piled into the elevator, which was large but clearly not made for 28 students, one teacher and a tour guide with an earpiece. I was squished into the corner of the elevator, and all the sweaty bodies around me made me want to squirm. But if I did that would be weird, and so I didn't.

The next floor we stepped onto was one of the intern labs, one that I had only visited a few times.

"Peter!" Called Amy, the intern who was supposed to be leading the tour today "Oh thank God. We need your help here!"

I looked towards Mr Harrington, whose expression of shock mimicked Flash's. I ran over to where Amy, Alice and Justin were working on an equation. I got straight to work, only just noticing that Ned was called away somewhere. Once I had finished I grinned up at the group around me, sheepishly.

"Thank god, we've been working on that for months!" Justin thanked "You are a marvel, Parker!"

"He is one of our best interns," a voice said from behind me and I looked up in time to see Dr Banner put a hand on my shoulder

I hadn't sensed him coming over, and so his voice made me jump. Actually, this wasn't his lab or even his area of science, so why was he in here.

"Yes!" Cheered the people over by Ned, high fiving each other and when I looked over the code that had been flashing around on the computer had disappeared

"Wait, so Penis and Fatso actually have a job here?" Called out Flash

I felt Banner's grip on my shoulder tighten slightly, and I watched as Scarlett tensed up, pursing her lips. I saw Ned hang his head and I copied him. I don't know what happened But all of a sudden Scarlett was ushering us all back into the elevator. This time Dr Banner was squished in with us. This time we didn't go to a lab, but instead to the floor with all of the meeting rooms on it. Scarlet scanned everyone through and we were pushed into the room.

"Now for a little impromptu PSA for you guys on bullying, because it seems to be a major problem that you guys are having," Scarlett explained easily "If you could all just sit around in the chairs provided the Avengers will be in shortly."

Everyone did as told and started whispering. They were all so excited, even Mr Harrington had sat down, right at the front. To pass time Dr Banner was explaining his role here at Stark Industries and in the Avengers, letting people ask questions. In the corner of my eye I could see Flash creeping up to Scarlett, who was standing right next to me at the back of everyone else.

"What did you say your name was?" Flash asked cecily

"Scarlett," Scarlett replied evenly "And you are?"

"You're future boyfriend," Flash said with a wink

"Cute," Scarlett snorted "Nice try, but I'm taken and even if I wasn't I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole."

"That's a cool accent, where are you from girl? You're boyfriend cant be as good as me?" Flash tried, he just never gave up, did he?

"Australia and for all you know I could be dating a girl, or someone who identifies as both, or neither," Scarlett said patiently "And it wouldn't matter to me."

Flash floundered for something to say, but in that moment the rest of the Avengers walked in and he was forced to sit down. First came Natasha, and then Steve, Bucky, Clint, and finally Mr Stark. Scarlett placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed. The moral support was apreciated.

"So, you have a problem with bullying," began Steve "Physical or otherwise there are a few simple solutions."

"Tell an adult you trust," added in Mr Stark "A teacher, a parent, a family member or a friend. If they dont help to deal with the bullying then take it to the principle."

"First and foremost, though, just ignore it. Bullies want attention and if you dont give it to them then they will stop," Said Natasha

"But never get violent with it. Violence is never the answer," Said Natasha, and I would have snorted had I not been trying to hide

As the class went quiet Scarlett's hand left my shoulder and she clicked her way up to the front. Everyone watched as even the Avengers let her take a stand at the front. Everyone's eyes were on her but she didn't shrink back like she usually did. No, instead she had a fire in her eyes that I had never seen.

"Also, I would like to briefly talk to you all about intolerance," she began "Intolerance and bullying often go hand in, in, in hand and it can tear someone apart. You dont have to agree with someone for what they like, what they wear or do, or even how they choose to identify or what they project themselves as. You may not like it, agree with it, or even accept it but you can at least shut your gods damned mouth and be tolerant of it. There should never, ever be a reason to pick on someone or bully them, even if you don't realise that that is what you are doing. If you're picking one someone and it's just messing around and both parties are okay with it then that's okay, but if one party is not okay with it and it happens more then once without apologies then it is, technically, speak, technically speaking then yeah it's bullying. And now. Lunch! Off we go!"

Flash looked like he had just swallowed a lemon and then been slapped with a fish. He was ghostly white, and as soon as the rest of the class started to shuffle out and down to the lunch room, he left, passing me with a hiss.

"This is all your fault, Penis," he hissed in my ear

But he didn't get to leave the room. Natasha had him pressed against the wall, her right hand pinning his above his head and her left holding a knife to his throat.

"If I ever hear word of you bullying Peter again you won't be left in one piece. You got it?" She threatened

Flash nodded and she let him scurry off after the others. He looked like a kicked puppy with his head down and his tail between his legs. Scarlett led them down to the food floor as Natasha slung her arm around my shoulder and steered me over to the rest of the Avengers, but I pulled away.

"Thanks guys," I thanked with a genuine smile "But uh, I've gotta get back to my class,"

"Are you sure, Pete, because we could go down to your lab to work on the suit..." suggested Mr Stark

"Thank you, Mr Stark, really, but I gotta get back to Ned, and MJ," I assured him, walking over to the elevator

I got into the elevator and went down to the floor the FRIDAY told me my class was on, the floor with the Cafeteria and the robotics labs. When the elevator doors opened, Scarlett was practically having a shouting match with Flash, apparently, he had said something mean towards Ned and Scarlett had finally snapped. I just moved to sit next to Ned, who was looking towards Scarlett with wide eyes. Even MJ seemed mildly interested.

"You're probably just a nobody," shouted Flash towards Scarlett "How did you get in, huh? How much is he paying you?"

"No one is paying me anything. Yes, I am a nobody as far as I'm concerned, and I like it that way. If you have a problem with me, Peter, or any of his friends you can fuck right off!" Scarlett exclaimed

"Little Penis Parker? Is that it! Is that who you're dating?" Flash asked "You don't deserve him!"

Okay... when had it turned from Ned and I to her? I guess it was purposeful, her shifting his attention like that. By keeping it on herself she was protecting us. No one had ever done that before, and it made my heart feel like it was being squeezed in the Hulk's fist, but in a good way.

"So what if I am! It's none of your bloody business!" Scarlett exclaimed

"Oh yeah!? Prove it," Flash mocked

Before I knew what was Happening Scarlett had bent down and kissed me. I was shocked. I didn't know how to react, but she pulled away before I could do anything anyway.

"And now," Scarlett said, cracking her neck "Let's all take ten minutes to calm right on down and then we'll be moving on to the robotics lab next door! As soon as you guys are ready between now and the next ten minutes, head on over and meet me in there, yeah? Just remember to swipe your card on the way through the door. It will be the lab directly across the hall from this room."

Scarlett stalked off, and I grabbed Ned's arm and followed after her.

"Dude!" Ned exclaimed "You never told me you were dating someone,"

"I'm not," I sighed "It's probably just a rude to get Flash off her back."

"And you're okay with that?" Ned asked

"No, not really!" I said

We practically ran into the robotics lab we needed to be in, almost forgetting to swipe our cars. The few scientists that were in there didn't even look up, however one did widen his eyes and beckon Ned towards him. Ned wasn't going to go but he was my guy in the chair, the Wade to my Kim Possible, the hacker to my chemistry. I made my way over to Scarlett awkwardly, nudging her knee with my foot and looking down at where she was sitting against the wall between to lab benches.

"Uh, hey..." I trailed off, shuffling my feet

"Oh my gods I'm so sorry," Scarlett mumbled "I didn't mean, it just sorta, I mean, it was in the heat of the moment! I was all wound up!"

"Hey, whoa, no no no no no," I tried to say, my hands up in a placating gesture "I'm, I'm not mad. I just wasn't expecting it."

"We have to keep up the act now," Scarlett sighed "Pete, I'm so, so sorry. I know you don't like me like that."

"Hey now, I, uh, I never said that," I tried to explain, but I could hear the class trickling in, could sense it, and a quick look over my shoulder confirmed it

I held my hand out and helped pull her up, standing at a bench besides Ned and MJ. The scientists explained that we had tu build robots to pick something up and move it from one side of the room to the other. As we worked they explained what the robotics side of Stark Industies does and how it helps the company. It was pretty interesting and before long MJ, Ned and I were sitting back and listening to the scientists talk.

"Alrighty kids!" Exclaimed one of the scientists after an hour "Let's see how you guys did!"

And so we all showed off our bots, one at a time. When Flash and his teams failed I couldn't help but laugh, and even MJ was rolling her eyes, although it was probably at the snickering Ned and I were doing.

It was late Monday night, and we were all sitting around the dining table, eating away at the pizza that was lined up down the middle.

"So, how was your tour today?" Bucky asked, a smirk on his face

"Yeah," I said, nodding and looking Towards Scarlett "It was, uh, it was great! I don't think that Flash will be bothering me anymore."

From besides me, Scarlett huffed a laugh and under the table, she squeezed my hand. The hand that she had been holding since dinner started.

Yeah. My "Parker Luck" was definitely looking up.
