Chapter 2
Penny often spends her time on weekends at the tower. She even has her own room! She hangs out with Tony in the lab and sometimes watches movies in the common room.
Tony had grown quite fond of the kid after the incident with the Vulture. Ever since he had invited Penny to work with him in the lab, she proven herself as a genius. One time, Tony had even let her work with him on the new Nanotechnology Iron Man suit! Penny was, needless to say, excited.
Today, she would be staying over at the tower and hang out with Tony and Pepper. Perhaps Rhodey as well.
When Rhodey found out Tony brought a 14 year old to fight with the, and against, the Avengers, it was an understatement to say he was pissed.
However, after a few days, Rhodey began warming to up to Penny. Penny enjoyed his company after a while. They're on good terms now.
Penny is now exiting Midtown with her best friend by her side. Ned Leeds. Both are now in their senior year, leaving only a few more months until they graduate.
"Wait. So you get to spend weekends at Stark Tower?! Penny, do you even know how lucky you are?!" Ned exclaimed.
"Trust me, I know, Ned. Besides its not a big deal!" Penny giggled.
"You kidding me? Pen, I would kill to be you." Ned dragged on.
"Killing is illegal, Ned." Penny teased.
"You know what I mean!"
Penny laughed then headed to the black SUV after saying goodbye to Ned.
"Hi, Happy!" Penny greeted, as she entered the car. All Happy did was grunt a response. Penny, as per usual, chatted Happy's ear off.
Later, they arrived at the tower. Penny said her goodbye to Happy, as he drove off. Then, Penny entered the tower.
"Hey Kat! How was your day?" Penny greeted politely. Kat gave her a smile.
Katherine May P. was one of the interns for S.I. They met each other on the first day Penny was an official intern. Kat had shown Penny around the place, and defended her when a slanderer annoyed her. They have gotten close since then.
Kat is mostly laid back, relaxed, not really taking anything too seriously. She mainly helps out others, instead of doing her own projects. When as a receptionist, the role was tossed around often, she would just fall asleep. Someone had to be with her if she ever did. But who could blame her?
"The same as always. Rin had talked everyone's ear off. I honestly don't know how you two are not related." Kat told her.
"I guess we're just similar." Penny guessed.
Penny had also met Rin through Katherine. Rin had always been cheerful and positive. She was always nice to be around. Although, Penny felt as if the three of them had some sort of personal connection. As if they all shared something similar.
Like something spider-related. . .
Meh.
"By the way, Mr. Stark had called me here to talk about something important. Do you know what it is?" Penny questioned.
"Nope. Definitely not intern worthy. Sorry, Pen. At least you'll find out before the rest of us." Kat answered.
"Dang. Ah well, you're right about that at least. I'll see you later Kat!" Penny said.
"See ya, Pen."
"Hello Penny. How was your day today?" F.R.I.D.A.Y greeted politely.
"It was good, F.R.I.D.A.Y! How was yours?" Penny replied back.
"Very well, nothing glitched and everything is good." F.R.I.D.A.Y told Penny.
Then there was a comfortable silence. About two minutes later the elevator doors opened to the common room. On the couch was, Tony Stark, and Pepper Potts.
