Chapter 3: Meeting Tony Stark
(The next day)
Y/N's P.O.V
So, right now I'm on my way back from school.
When I get to my house I see a fancy car parked next to my house.
I walk in and hear dad's voice.
Henry: Hey, kiddo.
Y/N: Hey, dad.
Henry: So, how was school?
Y/N: It was okay. There's this crazy car parked outside.
I look over to see dad sat on the couch with Tony Stark a.k.a Iron-Man.
He looks at me.
Tony: Ah, Mr. Drake.
I step forward.
Y/N: What..? Hey. Hi, I'm... I'm Y/N.
Tony: Tony.
Y/N: What are... what are you doing here?
Tony: Well, it's about time we met. You've been getting my emails, right?
He winks at me.
Y/N: Yeah... about the...
Tony: The Stark internship. Remember when you applied?
Y/N: Yeah.
Tony: I approved, so now we're in business.
Dad looks at me.
Henry: You didn't tell me anything. What's up with that? You keepin' secrets from me now?
Y/N: Well, I didn't wanna say anything until I knew I had gotten it. Anyway, what'd I apply for again?
Tony: That's what I'm here to hash out.
Y/N: Okay, cool.
He points at dad.
Tony: You know, I still can't believe you are somebody's father. I mean you look a little too young.
Dad laughs.
Henry: Well, I try my best to look good.
Y/N: So, what did you want to talk about?
Tony: Right, that.
He looks to dad.
Tony: Do you mind if I have a moment with him?
Henry: Of course.
After that Mr. Stark and I go up to my room to talk.
We walk into my room and he looks around.
He sees the tech on my desk.
Tony: Whoa. We got some retro tech, huh? Thrift store? Salvation Army?
Y/N: A bit of both.
Tony: Hmm. Very nice.
Y/N: Look, I definitely didn't apply for your internship....
Tony: Wait, me first. Quick question of the rhetorical variety.
He brings up a video of me as Spider-Man on his phone.
Tony: That's you, right?
Y/N: No, no. That's not me.
Tony: Yeah, it is. Look at you go. Wow. Nice catch. Three thousand pounds, forty miles per hour. That's not easy. You got mad skills, kid.
Y/N: You know, that's all on YouTube, right? Cause you know that's all fake. It's all done on the computer. It's like those videos.
Tony: Oh, you mean like those UFO's over Phoenix?
Y/N: Exactly.
I look over to see he's found my suit.
So, I quickly jump over and get it away.
After that I lean against the wall.
Y/N: Yeah, so...
He comes over to me.
Tony: So, you're the Spiderling? Crime-fighting Spider? You're Spider-Boy?
I sigh.
Y/N: I'm Spider-Man.
Tony: Not in that onesie, you're not.
Y/N: It's not a onesie.
I go over to my desk.
Y/N: You know, I was having really good day today, Mr. Stark. I didn't miss my train, got some good tech from an old DVD player... and my Algebra test, nailed it.
Tony: Who else knows? Anybody?
Y/N: Well, my dad knows and so does my best friend knows. And so do you, apparently.
Tony: Ah, so I didn't need to be discreet back there?
I shake my head.
Y/N: Nope.
I look at him as he sits down to look at my suit.
Tony: You know what I think is cool? This webbing.
He throws a web cartridge at me, but I catch it without looking.
Tony: The tensile strength is off the charts. Who manufactured that?
I look at him.
Y/N: I did.
Tony: And climbing walls, how you doin' that? Adhesive gloves?
Y/N: No, I uh...
Tony: Lordy. Can you even see in these?
He looks through my mask lenses.
Y/N: Yes, I can.
I take the suit back.
Y/N: I can see in those lenses. It's just that when I got my powers it was like all my senses were dialed to eleven. There's way too much imput. So, they help me focus.
Tony: You're in dire need of an upgrade. Systemic, top to bottom, hundred-point restoration. That's why I'm here.
I go and sit on my bed.
Tony: So, why are you doing this? I gotta know, what's your M.O? What gets you out of bed in the morning?
Y/N: Well, I've been me my whole life and I've had my powers for three months.
Tony: Hmm.
Y/N: I play video games, I build computers. And I'd love to play football, but I couldn't then so I shouldn't now.
Tony: Right, cause you're different.
Y/N: Exactly, but I can't tell anyone that, so I'm not.
I sigh.
He leans forward.
Y/N: When you can do the things that I can, but you don't. And then the bad things happen, they happen because of you.
Tony: So, you wanna look out for the little guy? Do your part? Make the world a better place, all that, right?
Y/N: Yeah. Just lookin' out for the little guy. That's what it is. Though, I feel like I should be doin' more.
He nods.
Mr. Stark then gets up and comes over.
Tony: I'm gonna sit there, so move the leg.
I move my leg and he sits next to me.
He puts his hand on my shoulder.
Tony: You can do more, kid. Look, something big is going down and I need your help. The whole world needs your help. I need you to come to Germany with me.
Y/N: Wait, what? Germany? I can't go to Germany.
Tony: Why not? You'll love it.
Y/N: I've got homework.
He sighs.
Tony: I'm gonna pretend you didn't just say that.
He stands up.
Y/N: I'm serious. I can't just drop out of school.
Mr. Stark goes to open the door.
Tony: I better tell daddy-o I'm taking you on a field trip.
I quickly jump up and web his hand to the door handle.
Y/N: No. Don't tell my dad. He may know about me, but he doesn't need to know about this.
He smirks.
Tony: Alright, Spider-Man.
He shakes his head.
Tony: Can get me out of this?
Y/N: Right, sure.
I go to grab some scissors and cut him free.
Looks like I'm going to Germany.
