Chapter 10
“Right kids, unfortunately that’s all we have time for today, we need to get you all headed back to the bus, so if you could make sure you all have everything you brought with you” Emily announced to the group, resulting in many disappointed groans, but ultimately everyone started to pick up their bags as The Avengers all started heading off stage.
“Just before you all head out I’d like to remind everyone of the NDA’s that were signed, that prohibit you from discussing the events of today with anybody outside of this group, this extends to the information about Peter, too. Obviously people can know about his internship, but everything beyond that is hush hush. Also, Mr Turner, lets have that chat now” Tony announced before the children could hurry out, and then stepped off the stage, and towards the edge of the room where he met the teacher, and called over his boy.
“Care to explain to me your behaviour towards my kid today?” he started coldly, as Mr Turner approached him.
“Ah, well, it was just a simple misunderstanding is all, I didn’t realise he was like your son.” Came the weak defence of the teacher.
“That’s beside the point. You were told that Peter had an internship here, and yet you treated him as a criminal.”
“We had reason to believe that he wasn’t being truthful.”
“And what reasons would they be?”
“Well sir, all information relating to your internship programme states that applicants must be attending college.”
“Which is why the appropriate documentation was provided to the school, along with contact details if there were any issues, but yet your continued to accuse him of forgery without calling for confirmation”
“oh…well…uh”
“and then you continued to accuse him of multiple felonies, threatening police action”
“ah well, I don’t think that will be necessary anymore”
“oh, well I can assure you it will be due to the manhandling, bullying, and harassment of a teen. Now I believe you should get back to the class now, Peter will be staying here, as this is his home after all, and my lawyers will be in contact.” Stark ended the exchange leaving no room for Turner to retaliate. Turing to Peter, he let him know that he would give him a moment to say goodbye to his friends before walking out.
A few moments later the class, plus Harley, were piled into the elevator for the final time. Most students began talking amongst themselves about how awesome it was to meet the Avengers, and how cool it was when Mr Stark shut down Flash and Mr Turner, whilst the two reprimanded males stood to the side quiet and unnerved.
“Right peeps, this is where I’ll be leaving you. It was lovely to spend the day with most of you” Emily announced once everyone was back in the lobby and out of security, earning a chuckle from most the group, knowing exactly what she meant by ‘most’.
Harley and Peter gave a hug and a goodbye to Ned and MJ, just before Tony once again made an appearance.
“I have the guardians on Ted and MJ on the phone needing to speak to you.” He bluntly stated to Mr Turner coldly, and without greeting.
“Of course Mr Leeds, Mrs Jones… I understand… No worries… Goodbye” was all the teacher said on the phone, before handing it back to the billionaire. “Ned and MJ, your parents have suggested you stay at the tower instead of returning on the bus.”
“Whoop whoop! Movie night!” Harley exclaimed with a fist bump, earning a laugh from the other interns, and some others in the class, he was beginning to make quite the impression on them.
