Jeremy POV 

I heard the door open and close about an hour after I got home from another torturous day at Midtown High. 

"Jer?" I heard Caroline ask. I heard her footsteps and she cane into the kitchen where I was sat. "Oh my god what happened?!" She shouted/asked when she saw the smashed plates/cutlery littering the floor. 

"I got angry so I took it out on our plates" I told her as I started cleaning again. Truth was I'd already cleaned up half the mess. I turned to look at her and she had an angry questioning glare. "I don't wanna talk about it. Let's just stick to the plan for tonight, run a bath watch rom-coms whilst eating cookie dough ice cream and laughing at the cheesiness of everything and if it's not too late make fun of inaccurate supernatural programmes" I Said and she sighed nodding. 

We did end up doing what we had planned for that Tuesday night and I was nowhere near prepared for our economics class the next day. 

"So I've talked to multiple companies in the area or in the New York district which have agreed to take in some interns. Now I'll give you a list of places to apply for, some have restrictions like grades and attendance whilst others will hire anyone" Said our teacher. I looked over at Caroline glaring whilst she seemed sheepish. Turns out we were told about this during last class, which I missed. 

Me and Caroline got given a sheet of paper each and started looking down the list. "Boring, boring, only mildly entertaining, I refuse to go near a biology lab, I hate fashion" and the list went in and I found absolutely nothing which sounds interesting. Well I'm happy to fail this class. 

"You know what Jeremy why don't you apply for the NYU food tech teaching assistant, your an amazing cook" she said and I glared at her. "Okay fine, well my only realistic option would either be the Fashion designer assistant or the Stark tech business trainee position" she muttered and I nodded at her. The teacher had started to ask people what they want to apply for so she could assign them. 

"Ms. Forbes the option you chose have already been asked for by multiple students couldn't you chose another" Said the teach when Care asked about the fashion designer assistant option because she is apparently 'too dumb' to work for Stark tech, her words not mine. 

"Fine Stark tech it is" Said Caroline and the teacher wrote it down. She turned to look at me and I just stared back. 

"You do realise staring into my soul wont make me chose an option right?" I Said to her sarcastically. 

"Stark tech it is then Mr. Gilbert" she murmured and I shrugged as she walked away. 

"Guess that's settled then" Said Care in a cheery voice seeming overly happy with herself. 

-TIMESKIP- 

"Wait so you guys might be working as business assistants at Stark tech?" Asked Peter with an excited voice. We were at the Parker's apartment eating dinner with them like usual. 

"Oh yeah it should be fun if we get in otherwise we are failing that class" Said Caroline from where she was talking to Peter and Aunt May in the kitchen (we've both taken to calling her Aunt May, don't ask why) whilst me and Ned were playing video games. 

"Hey we could start our own business and intern there then we wouldn't fail" I shouted into the kitchen as I beat Ned at Mario Kart yet again. "I won again Leeds (A/N think that's Neds last name just what I research) you owe me $20" I cheered when I won although Ned just frowned, I got my money though. 

When I finished putting the money in my wallet my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and went out onto the fire escape via the window to answer it, god knows he wouldn't stop even if I blocked his number. "What do you want Tony?" I Said Seriously. 

"You know I'm offended Jer, remember who helped you get to America?" He asked in a mock hurt voice. 

"Yeah and who also didn't actually help me just left me on the streets for 2 months" I Said and he made an outraged sound, oh yeah never told him that did I? Huh.  

"Okay If I'd of known you were homeless I would of helped you out and also you said you had a place to go I mean your American and got kidnapped for gods sake you have family here, don't you?" He asked. So I kept a lot from Tony, from everyone really. Caroline knew the most about me but she didn't know everything, she hadn't seen my tattoo yet nobody has except me and the tattooist. 

"Yeah I do, now why did you call in the first place?" I asked getting tired of the conversation. Conversations with Stark could go one of 2 ways either serious and boring or sarcastic and amusing, I was currently in the middle of an option 1 conversation. 

"I heard you and your roommate applied for internships through the school you attend and I'm happy to announce that your working with me and I pulled some strings and Caroline, you know she seems great she's got a good head in her shoulders, anyway she'll be working with Pepper" he said and I just hung up. 

"Hey who was that?" Asked Caroline and when I came inside. They were all sat around the table probably waiting for me before they ate. 

"An old friend from when I first got here" I said as we all started to eat. Caroline looked confused so I elaborated espeacially since May looked even more confused since she didn't know I wasn't American. "When I came here from Russia this guy helped me get here legally but I told him I had family here which is a lie obviously" I Said and everyone nodded except Caroline. 

"Okay you never told me this who is he? What's his name?" She asked and I sighed. 

"Tony Stark and by the way we got the internships"
