One Shots feat. PJO, Irondad, and More!

Drive Thru (Irondad)

Something short and fun- a.k.a. homework procrastination.

Inspired by my own service memories and this time a guy tipped $80 unwarranted. Shout out to that guy.

"Are you hungry, kid? We got a long trip to the compound and once we're on the interstate I don't want to stop."

Peter shrugged, his eyes trailing the passing cars through the passenger side window. His knee bounced. "Whatever you want, Mr. Stark."

The billionaire sighed. He looked ahead at the upcoming restaurants and quickly decided he didn't want to get out of the car. The R8 was low to the ground, and his joints were getting old- the pain of getting in and out wasn't worth a mediocre meal and potential media frenzy.

His fingers tapped a simple beat on the steering wheel. "You have until the end of this road to pick fast food. Go."

"I'll eat anything, honest-"

"I'll push you out the car if you don't make a decision in the next five seconds."

"Okay, okay! Uh," the teenager sat up, scanning his options. What did he want...

The doors unlocked. Peter yelped, blurting out the first sign he could register in panic. "Uh, McDonald's."

Tony wrinkled his nose. "McDonald's? What do you want at McDonald's?" He spat the word like it had personally wounded him.

Peter shrugged. "I don't know. A cheeseburger?"

"If you want a cheeseburger, kid, you go to Burger King."

"You told me to pick!"

"Yeah, something edible."

"Mr. Stark," he whined, scrubbing his face with his hands. It'd been a long week. He was just ready to get to the compound and tinker, not bicker with his mentor about which fast food joint had better burgers. "Burger King, then."

The billionaire winked. "Fantastic choice. I've taught you well."

Tony almost gave the cashier a heart attack.

"Good afternoon, how are you doing today?" she asked offhandedly out the window without looking. "Looks like we had the three double cheesburger meals today?"

"Sounds right. What's the damage?"

That's where things went wrong. The blonde turned to him with a blazing smile. It took a millisecond for her eyes to widen and mouth to drop in recognition.

"Oh, my god," she stammered. "You're... sorry, I don't mean to freak out on you, you probably get that a lot I'm sorry but... you're..."

"Last time I checked, it was Tony," the man helped smoothly. "Nice to meet you, Jessica, was it?"

She swallowed, hard, before remembering to nod.

"Fantastic. Not to seem pushy, but the kid and I got to get going."

"Oh, oh,, of course. Yes. Sorry, I'm just- yeah, sorry. Uh... anyway, sir, Mr. Stark... that'll be $15.27."

Tony filed through his wallet, pulling out three hundreds before passing them to the girl. She stared at them with wide eyes.

"What, that enough?" he said cooly. "Do me a favor Jessica, keep the change."

Her expression was incredulous. "I- sir, this is three hundred dollars. Are you sure?"

He pretended to think. "What was the total again?"

"Uh..." her braids swung as her chin snapped to the screen. "15.27. Sir."

Tony waved a dismissive hand. "Yeah. Keep it."

"Sir... this is like, a $250 dollar tip."

"285, actually, spare a few cents. It's fine, though it is for food we paid for," he replied, not unkindly.

She nodded, reaching behind her to grab the bags. "Sorry, sorry."

"That's alright."

Jessica glanced back down at the three bills in her hand.

"Sir, thank you. But you really don't have to-"

"Never do anything I don't want to, sweetheart. Thanks for your time."

Peter gaped as he sped off. "Mr. Stark, that was so nice! Do you always do that?"

The billionaire shrugged, glancing over his shoulder before pulling out onto the road. The Audi kicked and revved as he pushed it up to speed. "Try to. Usually I do more, but I'm running low on cash. It's fun."

"Yeah," Peter smiled. "It was."

Tony shot him an amused look. "Maybe we'll do it again on the way back, how's that?"

"If you want to, definitely."

"As long as its not McDonald's."
