Wrong Number, Kid.

Chapter 15

Happy parked Mr. Stark's car in the front of the tower, taking the child lock off so Peter could open the door and get out.

"Thank you for driving me, Mr. Happy!" Peter waved, receiving a nod in reply.

He walked into Stark Tower, pulling his phone out to text Tony to let him know he had arrived, but was surprised to see the man in the front already, talking to the receptionist.

"Mr. Stark!" He called, walking over to Tony.

Tony stopped talking to the receptionist mid sentence, turning around to look at the boy walking quickly over to him.

"Hold that thought, Janice," He said, turning completely to face Peter.

"It's Janette," the woman muttered, "as it has been the last six years I've worked here."

Tony didn't seem to hear her; or, he simply didn't care.

He greeted peter with a pat on the shoulder, guiding him over to the elevators.

"How was school today, Pete?" Tony asked.

"I didn't go to school today, Mr. Stark. Besides, it's still morning!"

Tony frowned, checking his watch, "huh. You're right. Well why didn't you go to school? I thought you loved going?"

Peter blushed slightly, and ducked his head as they got in the elevator.

"Well," he started, "you wanted me to come here to show me that AI, and I really wanted to see it, so I guess I just forgot about school. But today is Friday! So, no school until Monday."

Tony nodded, patting Peter on the shoulder again.

"Alright, kid. But on Monday you're going to school. Got it?"

Peter fake saluted Tony, "Sir, yes sir!"

Tony chuckled, shaking his head.

They stepped out of the elevator, and Peter was amazed to see that they were already in Tony's lab.

"Woah," he gasped, "How'd we get here? Yesterday, the elevator just took us to a hallway we had to walk down."

"We took a different elevator today," Tony explained, "the elevator we took today takes us directly here. Only a few people have access to it."

"Woah, that's so cool!" Peter said excitedly, following behind Mr. Stark as they walked toward the back of the lab, "Does it go to any other parts of the tower?"

"It does," Tony nodded, "It goes here, of course, the avengers living quarters, the medical center, the cafeteria, the lobby obviously, and two conference rooms."

"That is so cool," Peter repeated in awe.

Tony smiled at the boy, before he turned around, pressing a button.

Peter watched in amazement as part of the wall went down, revealing Peter's suit.

"Wow," he muttered.

"Wanna see your AI now?" Tony asked with a smirk.

Peter nodded excitedly.

Peter had the suit on so he could see what the AI could do, and he was standing in front of Tony - who was sitting on the edge of one of the lab tables, sipping a steaming mug of coffee.

"Ask Karen for the time, Peter."

Peter raised an eyebrow at the man, but did as told.

"Karen, what time is it?" He asked.

He was startled when a voice spoke up in his ears, "It is 8:42 am, Peter."

There was small text in the top left corner of Peter's vision, showing the time in glowing white letters.

"Woah," Peter said.

He was sure he'd be saying that a lot today.
