Konfinda - a prequel of sorts for JADFT
The employees of Stark Industries had begun to notice a new person among them as repeated sightings of a young, maybe 15 to 16, boy ducking in and out of labs before disappearing down the corridors of the building. Many of them had tried to stop him or call security but he always managed to slip away and security never seemed to respond.
He had been caught talking with F.R.I.D.A.Y on multiple occasions but when questioned the AI responded with 'Konfinda'.
Many of the workers and interns knew that 'Konfinda' meant confidential in Esperanto, as it was basically the number one nerd language, so understood that whoever the mystery boy was, he was important.
Soon everyone, including F.R.I.D.A.Y, had started to refer to him as Konfinda. It was rumoured that the nickname was what was written on his badge too after a worker had tried to catch his name on it.
The ex-Avengers had returned home, after Mr Stark finally managed to settle the accords and pardons them, and were now standing in the tower lobby staring at the brown haired, pun tee wearing, teen who had just stepped out of the private lift at the end of the room.
He introduced himself as Konfinda and immediately began talking in a commanding tone.
Now, I'm here to escort you up to the penthouse to meet with Mr Stark, he spent a month working on the accords so you should be grateful."
His tone had become chilled, obviously this was a touchy subject for the boy. Konfinda's suddenly cold attitude seemed to shock the bow master out of his silence.
"Just who are you bossing us around like that and using Tony's first name? Do you take us as fools who you can slip a fake name to and expect us to take the bait? Kid, I's best friends with the Black Widdow, I know when someone's trying to play me!"
Clint has started fuming but Konfinda stood his ground as the archer advanced towards him.
Just then the tower doors opened and non other than Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widdow herself walked in, spotting the brown haired teen immediately and walking over, ignoring her ex-teammates as she did.
"привет мой маленький паук."
"Тетя Таша!"
Konfinda's eyes lit up and Clint paused in surprise at Natasha's friendliness towards the boy.
"эти идиоты тебя раздражают, конфинда?"
"Не совсем, мне нужно отнести их к мистеру Старку."
At that Natasha threw an arm around Konfinda's shoulders and began walking with him towards the elevator making a sign for the ex-Avengers to follow.
The last thing the employees who had gathered heard before the lift doors closed was the Winter Soldier's question in Russian.
"Кто, черт возьми, ты, малыш ?!"
And the Black Widdow ratting him out to Captain America for swearing.
From that day on no one got in Konfinda's way.
So far Konfinda rarely talked to the other workers and interns in the tower unless it was to ask the location of something, usually he would just slip in and then back out so quickly and quietly it was like he was never there.
The first time he stepped in was when he was visiting one of the lower labs and a group of interns were mucking around with some of the chemicals from the nearby store room when he deftly stepped in and switched the beaker of liquid they were about to pour something into with an empty one.
"Do you want to kill us all?"
He had said in a calm tone, one eyebrow raised. When met with looks of confusion he continued.
"This is a diluted from of bleach from what my dying nose is telling me, and that,"
He pointed at the conical flask in one of the intern's hands.
"Is most definitely vinegar. I dearly hope you know what happens when you mix the two, especially outside a fume cupboard."
He gently scolded them before relocating their original beaker of bleach to one and turning it on. Then, with a hidden smile, he turned and left the lab, a bundle of papers tucked safely under his arm leaving the interns to their fun.
The second time was a bigger insight to Konfinda's brains and personality.
A group of new interns were being showed around by a worker of that rank when they stepped into one of the presentation rooms only to find that it wasn't empty.
The enigma that was Konfinda was at the far end of the room up on a ladder, writing line after line of algorithms on one of the large whiteboards that lines the room. Scattered around his feet were empty markers and over-used whiteboard erasers, a sign that he had been working on there for a while.
The worker in charge of the interns turned to them to explain who Konfinda was seeing as the perfect situation had arisen and by the time they had finished Konfinda seemed to have too.
He stepped back from the whiteboard ,after promptly writing something at the bottom, to asses what he'd worked on giving his audience full view of exactly what he had written. One of the girls on the mock tour let out a gasp causing the boy to turn at an inhuman speed to face them. He stood for a second, taking them in, before he raised a hand to run the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Sorry, were you using this room. It's just that no one ever really uses it so I come here sometimes to just release some of the cluster in my head without bothering anyone but I can go if you want, is totally fine, I mean I have my lab upstairs I could work in it's just that Tony's upstairs and so are the rest of them and there's so many distractions in my lab and..."
He trailed off after realising he was rambling.
"Sorry!"
Was all he said before grabbing the dark blue bag intern the corner and escaping out of the room.
The shocked little group moved further into the room and a few began to examine the whiteboards around the room which were also filled with lines and lines of the same rushed writing on the first board. When they saw just how advanced a level his brain was working at even the tour guide of a worker was shocked at his genius, no wonder Stark hired him.
Anyone in the tower will agree, however, that the best reveal was when both Tony Stark and Konfinda walked into one of the main conference rooms and stole Pepper Potts (or Stark if you prefer) from her meeting to discuss someone called Peter Parker.
Ten minutes later Pepper re-entered the room only to have Konfinda run back in after her, embrace her in a hug, peck her on the cheek and mutter 'Love you mum' in her ear.
Later that day Mr Stark had been seen walking around the labs with a huge grin and a #1 DAD mug in his hand, bending backwards to help some of the proposed projects get put through, even the self applying toothpaste.
The best part however was Konfinda's contagious happiness that he seemed to secret all throughout the tower, from making the head of security smile for more than three seconds to getting all the Avengers to actually join one of the employee party nights that were held weekly.
Obviously something had changed for the better and many of the staff had suspicions about his last name.
When Konfinda began working more throughout the tower, helping other interns and workers with their jobs and projects as needed. The employees soon found that he was a friendly kid with a strong moral code who had two amazing friends (or at least one friend and whatever she ((MJ)) was).
One day Konfinda was working in one of the higher labs with about seven workers and interns when Bruce Banner came striding in to the lab.
"Oh, hey Peter, I didn't realise you were in here today!"
He said in a cheery voice, leaving everyone else in the room confused as to who he had addressed.
"Hi Dr Banner, how's things going, do you need my help with anything?"
Everyone's heads snapped towards the source of the response, their eyes coming to rest on a grinning Konfinda.
"No, although Tony might want you in the lab later."
"Okay, thanks Bruce."
And with that the gamma radiation scientist moved further away into the lab and Konfinda, or Peter if you prefer, retuned to what he was working on, oblivious to the questioning stares.
The next thing they knew, Konfinda was showing his new friends around after they had been invited over. His bro friend was immediately snatched away by Dr Banner and the girl was seen walking down the hall in wrapt discussion with Ms Potts and the Black Widdow. Little did they know they had just been hired as personal interns for said department heads.
Only a mont later Konfinda showed up as Peter with his school for a tour, causing many of the employees to marvel at the boy's life, who else got to visit their workplace for a class field trip.
This would be fun.
