Spider-twin

The internship.

(Word Count: 1337)

After spending some time in the lab, me and Mr Stark started talking.

"Hey, you now about the avengers disagreement thingy?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, I kinda need more people for my team and I think Gecko-girl would be perfect."

"I would happily fight on your side, I also agree with you the most."

" Ok, so far I've got: Vision, Black Widow, Black Panther, War machine and Spider-Man."

I replied, "First of Spider-Man is actually my brother, and second if I would definitely like to join and help you!"

"Great, Happy will pick you up on the 22nd of June at around 4:00, he can explain more. I'll see you around kid."

I walked out of the lab, then the tower, Mr Happy Hogan was going to drive me home. I couldn't believe I was joining Iron-man on the battle field, I couldn't wait.

The 22nd of June had arrived. I met up with Happy in the designated space and I was driven to some kind of airport. I wasn't very sure were I was but I was then taken to a hotel room. I was next to Happy and Peter. It was then time to start, we were going to fight against Captain America's team. Peter was supposed to do a cool entrance and blah blah blah... but I was just going to start with the others.

After Peter made his entrance everyone started running, so I just followed. The person I first met was the Winter Soldier himself. His fist nearly made contact with my face, but I dodged. I went to do the classic beam of power but I was intercepted. The falcon grabbed at the collar of my suit and dragged me far up into the air. I had to get down, and safely. I panicked. What do I do? I saw War Machine. I saw my chance. I hit The Falcon in the face with my powers and pushed off of him. In full gecko style I did a huge leap and landed on War Machine mid air. I proceeded to jump down from there. Then I saw the only way I could go from there. Cap.

Immediately one of his punches hit the bridge of my nose. I could smell blood. I made a kick but midair he grabbed my foot and swung me to the ground. I knew I was no match for Captain America. I jumped up from the floor and set of my powers knocking Captain America to the ground. "I've never seen you before, what's your deal?" Captain America grumbled

"The names Gecko-Girl, and you can shut up" I responded, throwing a beam of power to his mouth to prove my point.

"Ahh, one of Tony's lot."

Captain America was back up before I knew it and I was back on the ground in a flash, pinned down.

Iron Man knocked Captain America out of the way. I retreated, quickly running backwards. Iron Man then proceeded to say "Kid, maybe you should go back to Happy now, keep the suit. The fight is dying off anyway, it's mostly just me and cap now." I didn't really know what to say so I just silently nodded and walked, well half jumped and climbed, my way back.

After that I didn't know what to feel. Was Mr Stark proud of me? Or was he ashamed of me. Happy was meeting me the next day to pick me up and take me home. I packed my bags ready for the next day, took off my new suit, got into pyjamas and went to bed.

The next day I was very ready to go home. I was ashamed of myself and I was pretty sure Mr Stark was too. I got dressed and ready for the day then grabbed my bags ready to go meet Happy at the front door. I was stopped before I got to the front door though, it was Mr Stark. I panicked, what was I supposed to say? Mr Stark started speaking first luckily. "Um, kid, just wanted to say, you did a good job back there and um, want to join Stark industries as an intern in the labs?"

I didn't know what to say, this was the opportunity of a lifetime! It's all I've ever wanted.

"Yes!" I replied "But don't you only take in over eighteens?"

"Well I saw the mock tests I sent out to school results earlier today and you got one if the highest scores I've ever seen!"

"Really!"

"Yes, I think you would be perfect."

At that moment happy walked through the front doors and tapped his watch.

"I suppose you better go now then." Rightly said Mr Stark.

"Um yeah..." I replied.

"I'll see you after school on Monday"

"I'll see you then."

I had no idea what the hell had just happened. I ran out of the front door filled with hope and opened the car door. "Took you long enough." Murmured Happy. I didn't reply but instead pulled a face. We then drove off in awkward silence.

Once I arrived back at home I ran straight to Aunt May. "How did it go?" She asked.

"It went great!" I responded, "I get to go to Stark Tower after school on Monday!"

"Want to go to the Thai restaurant down the road for dinner, it's got good reviews."

"That sounds great I'll be ready by six!"

I ran upstairs into my room then collapsed onto my bed. The recent days had been so busy I forgot to let myself rest sometimes and before I knew it I was being dragged to a Thai restaurant. I hate Thai food.

When we arrived I sat down in a comfortable looking seat. Peter ordered Larb, Aunt May ordered fried fish and I ordered chicken noodle soup. It was the only thing that I recognised on the menu so it was my safest bet. We all are fine until Spider Man came in the news on the television in front of us. It was about a shop explosion. I glared at Peter. "That's only five blocks away from us!" Aunt May exclaimed. "If either of you see anything like that you turn and run in the other direction ok?!"

That was followed with a chorus of "yes!" and "absolutely!".

"Peter are you ok?" Asked Aunt May. "Is your good to larby? Oh I've got it! Not larby enough!

"No it's ok, I'm ok." Peter replied.

"You know I larb you." Said Aunt May.

I snorted. A waiter came over.

"Sticky rice pudding." He said, putting down a plate of sticky rice pudding.

"Oh, we didn't order that." Aunt May said confused.

"It's on the house."

The waiter walked away leaving Aunt May confused.

"I think he larbs you." Said Peter.

I snorted so hard that my soup came out my nose and all down my t-shirt.

After school that Monday it was time to go to the Stark Tower. I walked in with the new security badge I had been given, not knowing what to expect. I was stopped before I could scan my badge to get into the intern offices.

"Excuse me, what are you doing here. School trips ended hours ago." A receptionist said.

"Oh, I'm a new intern. I'm only fifteen but My Stark himself told me I got the internship." I responded

"Let my try scanning that badge to see if it's real.

When she scanned my badge, FRIDAY's voice rang out. "Welcome, Laura Parker, Intern."

"Oh," The receptionist said, " You are going to look so cute in the uniform!"

She then walked away. I stepped through the now open security gate ancipenef the office door. As I did so all heads turned to me.

"Um, hi, I'm Laura Parker and I'm new here."

"What is a child doing here."

I was about to answer but nobody was listening anymore. Everyone thankfully returned to what they were doing. I started a new project. Creating my own A.I.
