Chapter 2
The rest of the day Peter spend mostly in his, head making up scenarios how the field trips could go. After AcaDec practice he waits outside with MJ and Ned for Happy to pick him up.
„I still can’t believe we’re having a trip to Stark Tower. Do you think we’re going to see some of the Avengers?“ Ned exclaims giddily.
„Oehhhhg, you are there almost every day, have seen most of the labs and hr offices. You just startet your internship a few weeks ago AND had dinner with the Avengers yesterday evening!“ Peter remarks in disbelief.
„But that’s totally different! Also i haven’t seen all the labs.“ Ned pouts.
„Yeah totally diffrent“ MJ snickers while rolling her eyes.
Dad´s going to find out about Flash! “ Peter expresses with a light panic.
„You still haven’t told him that!“ Ned exclaimed with a bit of fury in his tone.
„I dont want to worry him, and it isn’t even that bad!“ Peter grumbled.
Bevor they could continue their squabble, a sleek black car stoppes beside them and Happy rolles down his window. „Come Peter I don’t have the whole day“ he grumbled. Peter smiled at the grumpiness. They both new he absolutely had all day since they don’t nead to be somewhere urgent.
Peter not wanting to annoy the man to much, gave a short goodbye to his friends and enteres the car with a sigh.
As Peter starts to ramble about his day at school, he sees Happy trying to suppress a small smile. He always pretendes to be uninterested and annoyed at the boy´s rambling, but was secretly (aktually not that secret at all) very fond of him.
When he feels his starkphone vibrate to signal him getting messages, he interrupts his tales to give his boyfriends messages his complete attention. Missing Happy beeing unable to suppress the smile.

Peter got out off the car, giving a quick goodbye to Happy and rushing to the elevator. „Hello Mini Boss, Boss wants to let you know ,he is in the Lab waiting for you, if you want to join him“ greeted the familiar voice of F.R.I.D.A.Y. with as much affection as was possible for an AI.
„Thanks Fri. Could you bring me up to him please?“ Peter respondet with just as much affection.

When Peter arrived in the personal lab, Tony was arms deep in his newest suit, trying to connect some of the wires in the left arm. His head shot up when he noticed his son entering the room.
„Underoos, what’s up? How was school?“ he asked with a knowing glint in his eyes.
„Were having a field trip“ Peter grumbled.
„What did you say? I dont think i heard that correctly“ Tony teased.
„Were having a trip to the tower, and I know it’s because of you“ Peter pouted.
At that his father let out a small laugh. „I have noooo idea what your talking about, Pete.“
The boy in question just pouted at his dad. „It’s a trip to my own home, that’s just eahhhgh.“ he complained.
„It’s not that bad. It’s a good opportunity for your classmates to get a inside on what its like to work here and you have your internship cover“ Tony explained.
„Yes, but you know no one even believes my fake internship, it’s not making the situation better. And what if someone finds out the reality of who I am?“
„Don’t you worry underoos, it’s not going to be ok. Most, if not all of our employees know you or at least about you and have signed NDAs. Officially you are my private intern. So nothing is goingt to happen. Maby they will start to belief you after. Now come here and help me with these wires I can’t reach.“
Peter joined his dad and tried to shove his worry’s to the back of head. Only a few miner thoughts of Flash remaining at first. But even these went away after his dad told him about Clint falling out of the vents again this morning.
For the rest of the afternoon his mind stayed focused on the ideas to upgrades he and Tony were planning for the armor.

A few hours later F.R.I.D,A.Y. notified them, that Pepper waited for them with some Thai take out in the penthouse. Only then the two of them called it a day, realizing how hungry they were since neither of the ate or drink anything besides coffee the whole time they spend huddled up in the lab.
They got in the elevator and the AI brought the up a few floors to the penthouse, where Pepper was already setting the table.
„Hurry up and change. I don’t want motor grease and sweat at the table“ she told them fondly.
„Yes, Ma’am“ Peter saluted.
Both of them quickly showered and changed into more comfortable clothes.
~~~~~~~
Peter’s hair still soaking, wet dribbled on the floors as he ran back to the table. His parents just sight at the teenagers antics.
As he digged into his large portion of food Pepper asked about his day at school. „How was school today?“
„Were having a field trip“ he grumbled almost inaudible, unhappy about the reminder of his misery.
„What was that honey? I couldn’t hear you“ Pepper smiled knowingly
„There’s a field trip to the tower next Friday. But you and dad already knew about that an probably planned it.“ he grumbled only a bit louder, crossing his arms, exaggerating his pout.
„Im sorry Baby, but your dad is almost as good at convincing me to do things as you“ she smiled apologizingly. At that Peter just groaned and let out a small „I hate you“. But they all knew he didn't mean it.
The rest of dinner they all spend joking around and talking about their days. Peter told his mum about his and Tony’s newest ideas for the Iran man suit, they have been working on and Pepper dated them up on the most recent drama happening in the hr department. They all have been way to interested in the developing love story between two employees. The updates Pepper gave them every evaning have become a part of their daily rutine, almost like some kind of TV series.
As dinner comes to an end, Peter helps cleaning of the desk and goes to his room to get ready to patrol for a few hours. It’s a new change in his schedule he tried to implement , that he was just able to convince his parents to try out. (Tony was pretty easy to get on his side, but Pepper wasn´t the biggest fan, so he had to promise her to get all his homework done before and to still get enough sleep)
The patrol was pretty chill. There was only one small mugging he had to stoppe. The rest of the night he spend walking home drunk people, to make sure they got home safe and swinging through queens. He got to bed around 1 am after sending Harley a quick good night text.
