Rules for Being an Intern

Being an intern at Stark Tower was weird. There were always explosions in the labs, people rushing to finish projects on time, and people running around with paperwork.
He became an intern after filling out an application that 18 and below got to try.
He passed and became an intern for Stark Industries, one of the youngest that. The next oldest was a 20 year old called Hannah Milligan, who he would work with from time to time as well as with her team.
When he first became an intern, he was extremely worried and anxious. He was told the rules of being an intern but after being one for two months, he realised there was some crucial stuff missed out.
He created a list, which he called: Rules for Being an Intern.
He posted it in the intern labs and to this day, every new intern is told to read these rules and follow them. They were crucial.
What are they, you may ask? Well, here's the list.

Rules for Being an Intern:

Rule #1. If a higher up ever asks you to bring them coffee, just do it. The last time somebody questioned why they had to do it, they ended up being screamed at for half an hour and then had to get the coffee for the entire team.

Rule #2. If something explodes in the lab and you don't see it, then don't freak out. Things are often blown up, wether it be on purpose or by accident. However, if people then run out screaming, shouting 'Get out' , then follow your common sense and follow.

Rule #3. If an Avenger is there, do not fanboy/fangirl over them until they are at least 10 floors away. They can sometimes be uncomfortable around praise, or they have an ego which does not need to be blown up anymore. Remember, some do have super hearing.

Rule #4. If you see an angry Black Widow, get out of there as quietly as possible. If she spots you, good luck, and try not to die.

Rule #5. Hawkeye basically lives in the vents in the tower. If you hear anything related to footsteps up there, make sure to be away from any openings. He tends to jump out without looking or jumps on someone on purpose.

Rule #6. If you see Captain America, do not use any swearing or foul language of any kind. You do not want an hour lecture on why swearing is bad and how people shouldn't be using it. If you want a hint at what I'm getting at, watch some of his PSA's.

Rule #7. DO NOT LET THOR IN THE LABS! IF HE ASKS WHY HE'S NOT ALLOWED IN, JUST REMIND HIM OF WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME!

Rule #8. Bruce Banner is a brilliant scientist who has been working at Stark Industries for awhile now and likes to talk to the interns from time to time. However, don't crowd him. He tends to get anxious or nervous around a lot of people. And definitely DO NOT make him angry or you will have a meeting with the Hulk up close and personal.

Rule #9. Falcon, War Machine and Vision are generally okay. Just don't pester them. Also, Vision is not too great with walls. Just a word of warning.

Rule #10. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver don't normally come down. When they do, it's either to talk or to scare the crap out of you. Also, never insult them when the other is there. Especially not about any of their friends. They are extremely protective of those they give their protection to.

Rule #11. James Buchanan Barnes, also the ex-Winter Soldier. Don't bother him. If he asks you a question, you can answer. You will feel intimidated but everyone does when they first meet him. Never. EVER. Ask him about his past. Just don't.

Rule #12. Black Panther and his sister may show up from time to time. The sister is a major science nerd and is the smartest person on the planet. Don't try to argue with her. Black Panther will mostly be on Avengers level however.

Rule #13. Loki. God of Mischeif. Enough said.

Rule #14.  Pepper Potts is the CEO of Stark Industries. If you ever say that she shouldn't be because she's a woman, get ready to have your ass kicked straight out of the tower.

Rule #15. Tony Stark is the owner of Stark Industries and also Iron Man. He is your boss and will sometimes come around to see how everything is going. If he is talking to Pepper Potts, do not go up to him.

Rule #16. Always. Have. Your. Badge. If you are half way to Stark Industries and realise you have forgotten your badge, turn back and be late. The head of security, Happy, hates it when people turn up without a badge and you will often not be let in.

Rule #17. If you see a bald guy who looks like a space pirate walking down the corridor looking angry, go to the nearest unlocked room and if they ask why, just say 'Pissed-off pirate'. They'll know what you mean.

Rule #18. The Avengers are a bunch of pranksters. If they are having a prank war in the building, make sure to lock the doors, close of the vents, and don't go anywhere alone. This is because, while they have a prank war together, interns, workers and scientists often end up involved.

Rule #19. Every so often, there is a NERF gun battle or Capture the Flag or something else like that. You will be assigned a team and, as a precautionary warning, the Avengers join in aswell. When you are out, you go to floor 23 and wait until the game has ended. Don't ask why we do this, we just do.

Rule #20. If the coffee machines are broken, don't bother any workers or scientists. This WILL be your death sentence if you do as many stay up and have barely any sleep. Coffee is what keeps everyone going and they will be dead on their feet.

Do not ignore these rules. Some of them can bend but try to follow them to the best of your abilities.

The rules were good and most people listened to them. For those who didn't, they found it why others did.
Peter was happy with them. Then, after a week, he realised somebody added another rule. Curious, he read it and let's just say he's getting revenge on the person who wrote it.

Rule #21. NEVER GIVE PETER PARKER COFFEE. If he has had coffee, run. Just run. Get out of the building and don't come back the next day. A hyper Peter Parker is worse than the Hulk. This is the most important rule.

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed.

Until the next update.
