The team finished their lunch and Lauren took them to the labs. She was questioning where Peter went... again. Ned just told her Peter wasn't feeling too good so Mr. Stark basically yoinked him. No one else noticed the blood sliding down his hand and drenching his shirt. They were brainstorming ideas and talking with the other interns when the lab door opened. Normally, that wouldn't be distracting but this time it almost thrown off its hinges.

Peter ran into the room and quickly closed the door, not so quietly, behind him. He had his hands on the door as he leaned his head down and sighed. He turned around and froze, realizing most of his classmates were staring at him. He stared before giving them a small smile. The interns went back to doing what they were doing.

"Peter... What is it this time?" Lauren spoke up as she walked over to him. Peter looked at her before glancing back at his class, who were waiting for an answer.

"I kind of r-ran from Mr. Stark..." He trailed off looking at his hands. Lauren just laughed while his class continued to stare. It seemed like Peter was always running away or after someone.

"Why? You don't run from him a lot." Lauren replied. It was true. He was usually running after Clint or running from Shuri.

"I..." Peter trailed off, thinking of an excuse, "blew something up in the lab...?" He finished, sounding unsure of himself. Lauren gave him a skeptical look but brushed it off and nodded. She was used to him being skittish about questions involving the Avengers.

"Alright. So, basically, you guys are going to get the chance to work on some of the projects in development with some of the interns here. You guys can even work with some of the interns and start a project of your own!" Lauren explained and clapped her hands. She gave a final 'off you go' and the class wondered around.

They weren't quite sure what to do so they just stood around awkwardly. Eventually, some of the interns introduced themselves and got a conversation going to break the ice. They all had fun and a lot of them had ideas of their own. Some of them exchanged numbers with the intern they were working with so if they needed help with their project at any time, they could ask.

The interns absolutely loved the class. They enjoyed working with some of the younger minds and got to see what kind if odd, but cool inventions they had in mind. For the next five hours, everything was going good. Dinnertime rolled around and the Decathlon team said their goodbyes to their new friends.

Peter managed to keep his stitches from re-opening and started a BB-8 project with Ned. Everything was good. They all went out to a restaurant for dinner. They decided to go to McDonalds. Sure, not the best place, but everyone was good with it. Lauren went with them to supervise, but there was a... surprise guest.

The class stared with wide eyes at the super soldier in front of them. So... you're going to a McDonalds with a famous super-hero. None of them knew how to react. They kind of felt nervous because they had to be on their best behavior... or did they?

They placed their orders and got their food before sitting down where Steve was. It was silent before he spoke up.

"Alright. What is it?" He asked looking at them. None of the teens knew what to say so Charles started.

"Why are you at a McDonalds... with us?" He asked with emphasis on the 'us.' He smiled at them before responding.

"Because someone had to make sure you guys stayed safe... and if I didn't, Tony would have. Knowing him, he would have bought the place just so you guys could do something crazy." He got a few chuckles out of that. Peter grinned knowing that's exactly what his mentor/father figure would do.
