Y/N DIDN'T KNOW what to say initially. The sight of the billionaire, playboy, philanthropist...and Avenger, in his living room was pretty jarring. Peter would've lost his mind in his position since Stark was his biggest idol.

"Uh..." Y/N began to stammer. "What are...umm...I'm Y/N. Hi."

"Tony." He replied although he knew for a fact that the kid had known.

"What brings you...here?" The teenager asked as he crossed his arms.

"It's about time we met. I've heard a lot about you."

"Really?"

"Well, aside from the good things I've heard from Midtown, there was also that science fair you and your friend won a few months ago. Pretty cool stuff."

"Oh! Right."

"I've sent some emails. You've read them, right?" He asked, but tried winking with his uninjured eye.

Michael kept looking at his son as he conversed with the billionaire. His stare was making it pretty hard to lie on the spot, but he did anyway.

"Yeah....yeah, I've read them." He replied. "Regrading the..."

"You never told me about the scholarship, Y/N." Michael chimed in.

Y/N nodded. "The scholarship."

"The September Foundation." Tony added.

"Right."

"Remember when you applied?"

"I...guess."

Tony nodded. "I approved. Now we're in business, young man."

Michael glanced at Tony. For him, it felt pretty weird being in the same room as Stark. He's never had much of a liking for him or the Avengers, a part of him blaming them for his wife's death in 2012. But he had to put his feelings aside since he wanted to support his son in any way he can.

"Uh...Mr. Stark told me a little about the scholarship. I think it's good. I'm happy you're researching stuff like this for your future." Michael told Y/N.

"Yeah. Sorry I didn't tell you, dad. It was going to be a...surprise! Yeah. A surprise." He turned to Tony. "So...I remember reading this had...money involved. Is that true?"

The boy's improvisation got a chuckle out of Tony. "Yeah, it's pretty well funded. Look who you're talking to."

"Cool." Y/N replied.

"Can I have five minutes with him?" Tony asked Michael.

Michael cleared his throat. "Uh...sure." He looked at Y/N as he got up. "I'll be working on my article in the dining room if you need anything."

He pat Y/N on the shoulder and walked away. The teenager escorted Tony down the hall into his room, where the billionaire closed the door and made sure to lock it.

"Nice guy." Tony began as he paced around the room. "I gotta say...he looks exactly like that guy who plays Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequels."

"He gets that a lot." Y/N replied.

Tony quickly changed the subject and went over to his desk containing his computer and other gadgets.

"Whoa, what do we have here? Retro tech, huh?" He asked. "Thrift store? Salvation Army?"

"The garbage, actually."

"You're a dumpster diver?"

"Well, my friend and I found those..." He paused. "Anyway, look...I definitely don't remember applying for whatever scholarship–"
