Tony managed to get all 12 suits done including training gear and extra wardrobe incase some students didn't pack enough or unfortunately don't have enough at home. Though Tony grew up rich, have Peter around taught him that not everyone has money. It humbles him actually. Tony stood outside awaiting the charter bus filled with the young heroes, with so much excitement you would've thought he was a little kid on Christmas morning. What he didn't know is that a few of them were less than happy to be there and only came for the sake of someone else's sanity.

After about 10 minutes of waiting, the bus finally arrives. That same grin he's been wearing since the meeting is plastered on his face. He watched with joy as the students filed out of the bus and grabbed their luggage. An all too familiar face makes Tony's mood change even more.

"Tony!" The Parker boy runs up to him and gives a hug that Tony didn't realize he missed and needed.

"Hello Parker." He says joyfully. Everyone starts to surround them in curiosity.

"Who are you and how do you know him?" Miles Morales says completely confused.

"Uh I-uh I'm Peter... P-Parker..." He starts but is cut off by Tony who knows he will mess up his own words.

"He's someone who will not only be learning along side of you, but will help some of you if you become confused or lost. You all know who he is when he's suited up. Everyone meet Spider-Man." He points to the nervous smiling boy who waves.

"But I'm also Spider-Man." Morales speaks up.

"Oh you're the guy who must be helping me out. Thanks man. I really do appreciate it." Peter says with a new found confidence mixed with curiosity bubbling inside of him.

Everyone just stood in awe at him, wondering how this shy boy is the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. One girl just looked around and rolled her eyes thinking about the idiocy of the students. She was one of the ones that did not want to be there but had no choice due to Xavier's demand. She'd rather be sitting in her room threatening to slice her roommate/friend for asking too many questions and trying to get into her business. She's very closed off and her body language shows it. She always has her arms crossed and wears dark clothing. The girl wasn't goth though. She just liked wearing something that reflected her mindset.

When looking around, Peter locked eyes with her for a good few seconds then looked away nervously. Thoughts were interrupted by Tony leading everyone into the building. As they all walk in, the remaining Avengers stand in a line, waiting to sternly greet them. Once everyone was in the Avengers introduced themselves one by one. The students stood speechless at the thought that they are standing in front of their heroes they've been looking up to since Tony announced he was Iron Man. Some even had their jaws nearly touching the ground. The girl still stood there with a sour look on her face. Little does she know that she's the one Tony is the most curious about.

After introductions they're shown their rooms. Luckily for them they won't have roommates. Tony starts rattling from the names of each student and their rooms.

"Room 1, Peter. Room 2, Morales. Room 3, Kinney..." she walks up to him without a word and walks off to her room.

When she enters, a sense of relief washes over her. Now she can lock herself in there till dinner, or so she thinks. She had unpacked her things and plopped on the bed with a sigh. All she wanted to do is be alone. She didn't even want to be here or in the dorm room with Jubilee. She closed her deep brown eyes, taking in the odd comfort of the unusually expensive bed. She slowly started to drift asleep when there was a knock on her door. Annoyed, she got up and opened it. Standing there were two, more than happy girls.
