GWEN'S DIRTY SHOES hit the concrete as she carried two pizza boxes while peter held their school computers." pete did you see that car, that's so cool " gwen says looking behind her and out the big window at the cool looking car " i know right " he responds pushing the button on the elevator.
the two teens stood silently, with one headphone each, hanging out their ears, peter listening to back in black, while gwen was listening to cigarette daydreams.
walking out the elevator, gwen pulled out her key, swiftly putting it in and opening the apartment door. " hey may " they say in unison.
" we got pizza " peter smiled taking his headphone out. reaching over and yanking the girls other headphone out.
the girl jokingly pushed the boy " i will hurt you parker, keep playing "
" how was school today " may asked. " just like every other day i guess " gwen started. " yeah pretty boring but there this crazy car parked outside- " peter was cut off the by the sight of the unknown man on their couch.
the two teens looked at each other and back at the man as he turned around " mr.parker and ms.stacy " tony stark says to them.
" uh what- how'd you- what- he- hey, i'm gwen , i'm peter " they stutter looking at the billionaire in front of them
" tony " he says back. " what are you- what are you doing here " they ask.
" it's bout time we met, you've been getting my e-mails right " tony asked sending numerous winks toward them" uh yea-yeah we have regarding the- " gwen got cut off by may saying " you guys didn't tell me about the grant "
" yeah about the grant " peter mumbled. " the september foundation, yeah remember when you applied " tony questioned " i approved, so now we're in business "
" you didn't tell me anything, what up with that, you keeping secrets from me " may stated looking at the teens.
" we just know how much you like surprises so we thought we would let you know- " they trailed off their lie
" anyway what did we apply for " peter asked. " that's what i'm here to ask you. you know it's so hard for me to believe that she's your aunt " tony says looking at may.
may laughed " well we come in all shapes and sizes " the two awkwardly looked at each other and back to the interaction. " sorry to interrupt- whatever this is, but does this grant have money involved or no " gwen asked
" yeah- " tony said " yeah " peter repeated. " it's pretty well funded "
they simply nod their heads as tony turning to may once again " can i talk to them for like five minutes " may smiled gesturing for him to go ahead.
TONY CLOSED THE door locking it behind him, quietly observing the duos movements " oh what do we have here, retro. thrift store. salvation army " tony inquired looking at peters computer.
" the garbage " they say in unison. " oh you two are dumpster divers, or are you just a dumpster diver or are you both-"
" we both dumpster divers " gwen cuts the man off as the girl says awkwardly putting her mouth into a thin line.
" yeah we, um anyway, we did not apply for your grant- "
" uh-uh me first " tony cuts the boy off " quick question with the rhetorical variety, that's you right " holding up his device as a hologram video of the two swinging played in front of them.
