Chapter 59

"How was school today?" Peter Parker heard his aunt ask as he entered the apartment.

"It was okay," Peter said as he walked in, after he put down his bag. "there's this crazy car parked outside." Peter said before he looked at Aunt May and froze, not necessarily because of her. More because of who was sitting next to her, now Peter stood looking like he had just turned into a statue while he tried to work out what the hell Tony Stark AKA Iron Man was doing in his home.

"Hello Mr Parker." Tony grinned at his shocked look.

"Um..." Peter removed his head phones from his ears. "um...hey! Hey I...I am Peter, by the way."

"Tony." Tony said, introducing himself despite how unnecessary it was.

"Yeah...um...what...what are you doing here?" Peter asked, hoping he didn't sound rude.

"It's about time we met, you've been getting my emails right?" Tony asked while sending him a look that said 'play along'.

"Yeah, yeah." Peter nodded, picking up on what Tony was telling him. "Regarding the..."

"You didn't tell me about the grant?" Aunt May asked.

"About the grant." Peter nodded.

"The 'September foundation'." Tony said. "It's a new grant that I'm starting up," He said to Aunt May. "I haven't really done the advertising for it yet, but someone leaked it online, must have been how your nephew found it. You'll probably see it in the news soon."

"Right." Peter nodded, going along with whatever Tony was saying, at this point he was just struggling to keep up with what was going on and the fact that he had a celebrity/genius/Avenger in his home.

"Yeah, remember when you applied?" Tony asked Peter.

"Yeah." Peter nodded hesitantly.

"I approved, so now we're in business." Tony said before giving Peter another look before he took a sip from a mug.

"But you didn't tell me anything, what's up with that?" Aunt May asked with a hurt expression. "Are you keeping secrets from me now?"

"I just know how much you love surprises so I thought I would let you know..." Peter trailed off, trying not to think about how he was indeed keeping a major secret from her. "...anyway what did I apply for?" He asked Tony.

"That's what I'm here to hash out." Tony replied.

"Okay, hash out." Peter nodded while wondering what was happening. "Hash out." He softly repeated.

"It is so hard for me to believe that she's someone's aunt." Tony suddenly said, gesturing to Aunt May.

"Well, we come in all shapes and sizes." Aunt May said with a short laugh.

"This walnut date loaf is exceptional." Tony said as he took a bite of it.

"Let me stop you right there," Peter said to Tony, not hearing the whisper. "does this grant...got money involved or whatever?"

"Yeah, it's pretty well funded, I mean look who you're talking to." Tony said before turning to Aunt May. "Can I please have five minutes with him?" He asked.
