you walked through the the empty stark (avengers? you couldn't keep up anymore) tower, growing increasingly bored. there was no one in the stark tower besides yourself and the tv blasting from inside the other room.
after passing through the same hallway three times, and only hearing your soft footsteps on the ground, you became quite agitated. "just stay here, he said," you mumbled to the empty bedrooms around you. "won't be long, just gotta check on something." you rolled your eyes at remembering the blatant lie.
growing tired of just hearing your voice echoing through the halls, you say, "hey, FRIDAY, where's tony?"
FRIDAY responded in a heartbeat, "just flying around." even FRIDAY didn't sound convincing.
"yeah, sure. put me through to him?"
your question was answered by a ringing tone, and later a grouchy voice. "what is it? I'm sort of busy right now."
in the background you could hear the sounds of the suit's repulsers being used to match the statement, but still responded, "oh sorry, bud. would you rather me talk to you, or go back to hacking your software?"
"you know what? your voice is quite soothing." you could hear the snark in tony's voice, but continued to smile and pry.
"so, getting into any trouble?" you asked, leaning against the cold wall behind you, listening to tony's breathing and the loud voices in the background.
"uh, depends... like the trouble you were in when you hacked my tower, or when you cheated on my tests in college?"
you let out a harsh laugh. "in your dreams, stark. you were the one cheating off of me!"
"pft, sure. but really, one of those things is true."
and it was. ever since you made your way past the fire walls of the stark tower, you began to mess with tony in the smallest ways. you would make the elevator bring him to the wrong floor, made his alarm ring at 3:28 in the morning, and made sure his coffee was always too cold.
ever since college, you and tony had been rivals, and when he came out as iron man, getting more attention than you, even after you created 'rent an s.o.!' (a website that has been doing quite well actually), you got mad, and being the petty person you were, hacked into stark tower, and made tony paranoid.
the only reason you finally stopped was to ease his conscience (the guy had only only been getting three hours of sleep instead of his usual five), and he hired you to make sure nothing got past him again.
instead of sharing what you were thinking, you replied, "are you fighting any homicidal robots, or are you trying to fly a bomb into space this time?" you smiled at how clever you were, and continued, "oh wait, are you stalking peter again?"
"it's not stalking..." you heard him mumble.
you smirked, "but am I right, or am I right?"
"well, you're not wrong." was tony's only response.
you enjoyed the banter that you and tony shared. you two have had it since college, and you were glad you got to continue it.
just then, screams were heard through the background of the call making you stand up from your casual position against the wall. "tony, what was that?"
"oh my god, this kid is gonna kill me." tony said exasperatedly. "hey, I gotta go, peter split a ferry in two!" then all you heard was static.
