A nice looking girl next to me asked what I was doing, I told her about how I was creating my own A.I. She then told me that there was a "make your own A.I" competition. Then I decided it was weird talking to someone I knew nothing about so I asked her name, she told me it was Elsie. Elsie then had to go so I said goodbye and started work on my project.

First I was going to need a name. I started brainstorm then came up with a good one. I.R.I.S, Intelligent, Revolutionary, Information, System. I added the name into the system and started working on the basics. Before I knew it, a security manager was telling the interns to get out of the office because there time was over. I looked at my watch, I was supposed to be home 2 hours ago. I looked at my phone, 20 missed calls from Aunt May. Frick.

I bolted out the doors, I needed an excuse. You got the timing wrong and I was supposed to be coming back this late? No. I mentally broke down on the floor for 2 hours? No. An evil unicorn crashed through the doors and refused to leave for 2 hours, blocking the doorway? No. I was so screwed. I had a plan, but it probably wouldn't work. It was my best bet though.

I reached the apartment block. I blew on both of my hands and rubbed them together. Would this work? I didn't know. I began climbing up the building until I reached my bedroom window. I carefully climbed in. I looked through the hallway. The path was clear. I changed into my pyjamas and hopped into bed. I heard Aunt May coming. I closed the window, hid the suit and faked being asleep. Aunt May was clearly confused. I didn't hear anything of it though for I was soon off asleep.

I woke up on the bright Tuesday morning after Aunt May stormed in. I threw open the curtain filling my eyes with the blinding sunlight. "Explain yourself. RIGHT NOW." The shouted.

"Huh." I replied, before realising what she was talking about.

"You know EXACTLY what I mean Laura May Parker."

When she didn't get a reply she began talk-screaming again. I got ready for school while keeping track of the conversation.

"Where were you at 8:00, your designated time to get home, HUH?!?"

"At home, asleep..."

"No you WERE NOT. Your bed was empty. I called five police stations, FIVE."

"May I was in bed, are you ok?"

"I checked every five minutes and you were never there. The front door never opened."

"May, I came in at 7:30, I didn't see you so I guessed you were in bed according to your current sleep schedule. I then headed up to bed to get an early night."

"THE SCHOOL BUS IS HERE!" Peter shouted from downstairs.

"This conversation is NOT over." Said Aunt May.

I silently grabbed my stuff, left the house and got on the school bus knowing after school I was toast.

After school I was apsolutely spooked. What do I do? The plan wasn't working. I texted Happy asking him to ask Mr Stark if I could do extra time on the internship today. Happy replied quick. Good. He replied with a simple " He said sure." That was all I needed to hear. I texted Aunt May saying I had been called in for emergency work and bolted towards the tower. When I arrived I headed straight to the intern labs and got to work.

Though, after a few minutes FRIDAY spoke. "Laura Parker, Boss would like you in his office as quickly as possible." People from all angles of the room were mumbling. As I looked at them they fell silent and shot me an obviously fake smile. I got up and walked to Mr Stark's office. I shook more with every step. As I got to the door I knocked and heard a quiet "Come in." I cautiously opened the door. "There you are, beginning to think you weren't coming." Said Mr Stark. He saw that I was shaking. " Don't worry, it's not anything bad your here for." I let out a sigh. He chuckled.

"So Gecko-Girl." He began. "I made you a new suit that will be better adjusted now I know what you can do better. If you want, you can go out now and test it?"

"Thank you so much Mr Stark! And I definitely want to go out and test it." I responded.

"Ok, it's in this case, also kid, please call me Tony. Mr Stark is way too formal."

"Only if you stop calling me kid."

"Ok kiddo."

"Fair play, Sir Stark, fair play."

We both shared a laugh and I grabbed the case and walked out of the room. I hopped out the tower and found an alleyway to change in.

After changing, I jumped off and climbed up a tall building. I jumped around until I found an ATM robbery. More of a casual crime but a good way to test the new suit. I ran on and exclaimed, "You know, stealing isn't very nice." The four of them turned and stared at me. They were wearing avengers masks, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and The Hulk. I was about to go in for a swipe before noticing they were holding some kind of alien tech gun. I dodged as they shot it at me, narrowly missing and easily blasting through the wall behind me. "So this is how you want to play the game." I said, trying my best to sound threatening. I jumped up, landing on the only one without a gun, giving it one punch and easily knocking the Captain America guy out. I swiftly turned before getting punched in the face by the Hulk dude. I was going to strike back with my powers before realising Mr Stark had installed gloves made of the same strong fabric as the rest of the suit. The Thor guy used his gun and hit me in the arm opening up a big bleeding gash. I winced in pain before realising there was not time.

I gave the Iron Man guy a kick in the face, knocking him backwards smashing through the glass promptly knocking him out. I felt slightly bad but before I knew it, I was being lifted up into the air with one of the alien guns, it was Hulk. I struggled and managed to break free, leaving me to crash to the ground with a large crack. I stumbled back onto my feet and limped my way other to the Hulk guy punching him just at the wrong time. When I punched him the weapon that destroys stuff was in use and it did a 270 degree turn. A straight line was blasted through the wall and out to the street, crashing through the Delimar sandwich shop. Peter was gonna kill me. I ran out and helped Mr Delimar and his cat out of the shop. I apologised many times but before I knew it the paramedics wanted to see if he was ok. They saw my injuries and swarmed to put me on a stretcher and send me to the hospital. I simply jumped away into the distance.

Mr Stark's, I'm sorry, Tony's office window was open so I climbed in scaring the living shit out of him (Steve disapproves). "What the hell is going on kid!" He said, spitting out his coffee. I took off my mask. "You installed gloves."

"Huh, what do you-oh."

I climbed fully in and sat down. My Stark noticed my limp.

"Are you ok kiddo?"

"I'm fine"

"No your not, your going to the med bay."
