The Marvel Academy For Gifted Students

New Prospects

Sue Storm

Normally she would enjoy Stark's parties, they were a bit irresponsible in some aspects but at least she would have fun... except Reed was talking to another girl. Lately he would only talk to her if they were face to face and even then he barely said two words

"Are you okay?" Her best friend Crystal asked her

"Yeah" she answered right away

It wasn't as if Reed tried to be discrete, he was in the middle of the stupid room.

"What are you staring at?" Crystal asked

"Nothing"

"Oh... is it Reed?"

"No!"

"You're so obvious"

Sue rolled her eyes "No I'm not"

"Oh c'mon, you broke up with him, I think you should try going out with someone else"

She laughed "Oh you're right, because I am excellent at picking boyfriends"

Crystal joined with a giggle "Maybe Victor was a psycho but... there are a lot of other guys!"

"Like who?"

The girl looked around "What about Stephen? He seems like your type"

Sue almost yelled "Are you crazy? Between him, Stark and my brother they have dated the whole Academy, plus he's dated Christine"

"So?"

"She's my friend"

Crystal shrugged "It was only an option"

"He's off the list"

Her friend nodded "What about Peter Quill? He's cute"

"Oh please, he's exactly like them"

"Okay... and Steve Rogers?"

"You mean Captain America? He's too patriotic"

"Barton"

"His friend Romanoff scares me"

"Barnes"

"His hair is too long"

"Sam Wilson"

"Well... he's nice but I don't get his sense of humor"

"Vision?"

"Too red"

"Thor"

"Too strong

Crystal rolled her eyes "Sue you're being impossible, seriously"

"It's just that..." she stopped

"They aren't Reed?"

Sue sighed "Thank you for trying to make me feel better but I'm okay, I mean it Crystal"

"If you say so..."

Pepper Potts

It was the first forbidden party she had assisted, Tony had almost begged her to come.

Natasha had even lend her a dress.

"Where's Tony?" The red head asked as soon as they entered

Pepper tried to look around but it was kind of difficult since almost the whole Academy was there.
"How is it possible that Fury doesn't know about this?"

Natasha laughed "Jean always uses telepathy on him when Stark is throwing a party"

"What about the teachers?"

"Also Jean"

"And Xavier?"

"I think he doesn't mind the parties that much"

Pepper nodded, she felt so rebellious.
Rhodey suddenly appeared, he smiled to them
"I'm glad Tony convinced you to come Pepper, you look great"

She laughed "Thank you James, where is he?"

He pointed over to a small group of people laughing and joking
"Want me to call him?"

She was about to say no when Natasha nodded "Thank you Rhodey that would be so nice"

As soon as the two girls were alone Pepper covered her face "I don't know what I'm doing here, it's late, tomorrow we have class and I am supposed to be a student role model for the new students"

The red head sighed and uncovered her face "C'mon Pep, it will be fun, and I promise you won't be in trouble, plus Tony's coming over here"

Pepper crossed her arms "How many times do I have to tell you I don't like Tony!"

Natasha ignored her "I'm gonna talk to the guys, have fun with your boyfriend"

Before she could yell back a comment Natasha was long gone and Tony was in front of her

"Wow Pep, you look amazing" he told her

She did her best not to blush "Thanks Tony"

"I'm really glad you finally came to one of my parties, I had no idea that you were actually coming, next time give me a heads up so that I can at least comb my hair"

She laughed "That is something I would really like to see"

Tony smiled charmingly "Wanna dance?"

"You dance?"

He shrugged "Something like that"

"Okay then" she accepted

It wasn't a romantic song but the two danced as if it were.
The truth is that Pepper might have a small crush on Tony Stark but she never paid mind to it as if with that it would go away, there was only one way to put it: Tony played with every girls feelings and she wasn't going to be another one in the list, not to mention he was her best friend.

As soon as the music stopped the two smiled at each other like idiots
"Have I mentioned that I'm really glad you came?"

"I think you did"

He took her hand "Want to get fresh air?"

Pepper almost coughed "Sure"

Tony guided her to the way out, she could feel her heart beating loudly, on her way out she caught a glimpse of Natasha nodding approvingly
