Its common knowledge now that Tony Stark had taken on a couple apprentices. Peter Parker and his Stark Internship. Morgan having to fill her fathers shoes and realize his legacy for something of her own. Harley was even beginning to learn everything about Stark industries and what he could be a part of. These three, of course, quickly found out about one another.

It was a semi-sunny day when Happy came to pick Peter up for his usual tech upgrades over at Stark Tower. When Peter had opened the door, he did not expect to see Tony's daughter, Morgan.

"Oh, so she got done school before me?" Peter called up front to Happy.

"I'll have you know, these limos come equipped with dividers. I don't have to listen to you." Happy quipped back.

Peter laughed and clambered in. He sat himself next to Morgan and put his seat belt on. After he was all settled in, he turned to Morgan and held up his hand, "Gimme five mini Stark!" Peter cheered. Morgan happily obliged.

"What's Happenin'?" Morgan asked Peter. He shook his head and pulled out some papers.

"Well, I've got a big test coming up. Forget Algebra, Calculus is a lot harder. Remember that." Morgan nodded as Peter continued. "And I've gotta make some upgrades to the super secret spidey suit. It's been too long."

"Not catching any flies?" She asked. Peter laughed.

"No, I'm catching the flies. I just need to re-program a couple things. The A.I. in here is great, I just need her systems to run smoother." Morgan nodded but looked puzzled.

Happy called from the front, "Elementary school, not college yet, Parker!" Peter nodded and pulled out a sheet of paper. He began to draw an outline of his suit and a little square next to the suit.

"Okay, so, in the spider suit, there is a little, tiny, computer. She gets a name because she talks back, her name is Karen." Peter explained, "She's what we call an Artificial Intelligence, or A.I. She acts like us and has her very own responses. I need her to learn more and have more responses ready." Morgan nodded along.

"Why is she named Karen?" 

"Well, I had just kinda thought of the name. I don't want to rename her either cause her name means something to me now... I guess I'm being sappy." Morgan laughed and pointed at Peter.

"Sappy Parker, Sappy Parker!" She happily cheered as Peter grabbed her and noogied her until she began swatting at his arms. 

Happy called back, "Alright guys. We're here." Happy put the car in park and went to let Morgan out as Peter stepped out of the car door. The three collected their things and made their way through the front lobby of Stark Tower. 

Peter turned to Happy and Morgan and asked, "Will Ms. Stark be joining Harley and I today for some fun science?" Morgan's face brightened and she began happily hopping as Happy turned between the two in confusion.

"Well... I-I would have to ask Pepper-" 

"Yes. She can so long as you promise she won't get hurt or any new extreme toys." Pepper cut Happy off as he sighed in relief.

Morgan hugged Pepper and ran over to Peter's side and took his hand. "No worries! I promise she'll be okay and I'll tell Harley to put a long hold on that potato canon." Pepper nodded as Peter led Morgan to the elevator towards the labs.

Pepper and Happy stood next to each other in a comfortable silence for a few moments longer. A lot has changed since Tony Stark gave everything for the universe but one thing was for certain. None of his actions were for fame or vanity, but for the safety and the growth of the generations to come.
