Peter Parker Stories

Internship Competition (1)

Peter has never met Tony Stark or been in Stark Tower before. Civil Wars never happened.

When the teachers made the announcement, it was all anyone could talk about.
Who was going? Who would win? What would they need to do? Were they going to win?
The students of Midtown Science & Technology High School were getting a chance to compete in a competition to see if any of them would be able to intern at Stark Industries in the future.
(I don't know why, it just fits with the story. Just go with it.)
Peter was really excited because, hello! Stark Industries!
He was also sad though. The days of the competition MJ hadn't been able to come and Ned had come down with the flu a day before.
They got to stay overnight in the tower
When he got on the bus, he sat near the back and stuck in his headphones. He felt movement in his bag and looked inside to see none other than Karen, his cat A.I who, while being extremely smart and helpful, was also sassy and tended to act more human than some he had met. Spiderman included.
"Karen, what are you doing here?" He asked in a hushed yell.
"I was bored and decided to check out the supposed brilliant Stark Tower. What did you think I was doing?" She asked, a smirk -for her at least- on her face.
"..."
"..."
"Where did you even get all the sarcasm and sass?" He asked, more of a statement than a question.
"All from my wonderful creator. Remember, you talk to me and I watch you as you patrol."
"Okay, just make sure to go into 'Undercover Mode when we go through the scanners. I don't want anyone getting their hands on you."
"Aww, you do care." With that, she climbed back under his jacket and sleeping bag, as he left his suit at home.
He didn't feel like having an identity reveal today.
He felt a dip in the seat and turned to see none other than Eugene 'Flash' Thompson.
"So Penis, you ready to see me as the youngest intern at Stark Industries?"
He said with a smirk on his face.
"Flash, it's for a future internship for after college. You wouldn't be the youngest." Peter said with a sigh.
"Yeah, but they'll be so impressed with me that they'll hire me on the spot. They won't even look at you. You're just a worthless orphan who isn't smart." With that, Flash went and sat with his friends.
Peter just sighed again, used to the  insults and bullying. He stuck back in his earphones and looked out the window as the bus rolled out of the school.

When they arrived at Stark Tower, everyone ran off of the bus, trying to get a good look at the tower.
Peter was the last to make his way off of the bus.
"Thanks for the ride, Mr Lee."
"No problem Peter. Good luck today. I'm rooting for you."
"Thanks Mr Lee." As Peter made his way over to the school group, Mr Lee watched him walk off.
"Good luck, Spiderman."

Peter stared in awe at the building before him. So did the rest of his classmates.
They walked into the lobby and once again marvelled. It was huge and had people bustling about indoors.
Mr Harrison walked up to the front desk and talked to the receptionist. He came back with a woman with curly brown hair, glasses and a cat pun t-shirt. She carried with her a clipboard and a box.
"Hi guys. My name is Susanna and I will be your guide for today. I'm one of the interns here at Stark Industries. Today, we will give you a tour in the morning and then after lunch, you will begin the competition. Tomorrow, after breakfast you will work more on the competition and after lunch is when you will find out the winner. Any questions?" Only one person put their hand up.
"Yes?" Susanna asked.
"What will we have to do to win?"
"Well, that would ruin the surprise."
With that, she started handing out the identification badges that had been in the box.
Once they were all handed out, Susaana led everyone to the scanners. Flash shoved his way to the front, with both Mr Harrison and Susanna giving him a disapproving look.
He scanned his badge and everyone jumped as a voice was heard.
"Guest, Level One. No unidentified objects. Cleared."
Flash had yelped and people were laughing, the tour guide explaining it was just F.R.I.D.A.Y, but Peter was having an internal panic attack.
His webshooters. Karen had already gone into her undercover mode, meaning they shouldn't be able to detect her, but his webshooters were a different story.
He quickly pressed a button on the and they shrunk into small cuff bracelets on his wrists. Hopefully, that was enough to trick the scanners.
The line had dwindled down to a few people and he was next. He scanned his badge and walked through the scanner.
"Guest, Level One. No unidentified objects. Cleared."
Peter sighed in relief. That would have been fun to explain.
They were led to the elevator. Everyone jumped again at hearing F.R.I.D.A.Y's voice. Except Peter. He had expected it this time.
Susanna led the class of over excited students to one of the intern labs.
"Alright, you can have a look around in here for ten minutes before we have to move on. Ask any of the interns any question." Susanna walked over to three other girls and started to talk to them.
The class disbanded throughout the lab and Peter walked over to one of the boards.
He saw an unfinished equation and, without thinking about it, picked up the marker and finished it.
As he put the marker down, his class was called over, and they continued with the tour.

Max and Ryan had just finished talking to a small group of students about their latest project when they noticed a kid writing on a board that had the new equation for an anaesthetic that all the interns had been working on for months.
They were about to go over and feel him off, when his class was called back over.
He capped the marker and walked away as Max and Ryan made their way to the board. What they saw shocked them.
The board was filled and when they looked over it, it was finished and all correct.
They looked over to where the class had been, but they were already gone. They turned back to the board and both thought one thing.
Who was that kid?

Sorry I've not updated in a bit. Just sort of been busy. Hoping to write the part 2 soon.

Until the next update.
