Chapter Text
This day was completely uneventful.
It even started out well!
Peter slept well and woke up on time, despite returning from patrol after midnight.
May was very surprised when she realized that today was the first time she would have breakfast with her nephew, who usually ate on the go and was always late.
And school was relatively quiet.
Flash was pestering him less than usual, and the guy was even starting to worry about the bully, who never shut up and never missed an opportunity to call him names.
The teachers didn't ask him much about the subject, and there were no incidents.
In short, everything was going well!
Today was Friday, and after school, Happy was supposed to pick him up to take him to the Tower for the weekend, as May had night shifts at the hospital.
As a result, he became a social media star, the illegitimate son of Tony Stark, and a brilliant intern! His phone was blowing up with notifications, and his YouTube and Twitter accounts had over 100,000 followers!
How did this happen?
Perhaps it's best to tell you everything in order.
______________________________________________________
— Hey, Happy! – Peter exclaimed happily and jumped into the back seat, closing the door behind him.
— I hope you've already packed your bag, because I don't want to be late. – Hogan grumbled in his usual manner and pulled out onto the road.
— Don't worry, I've already got everything packed! — the guy smiled, and then the black curtain closed, leaving him alone in the cabin.
Realizing that this was an opportunity he couldn't miss, he immediately pulled out an old camera from his backpack and began recording.
— So, today I've decided to answer a few of your questions that have been coming up in the comments on my videos and on Twitter.
Oh, the thing is, Peter has his own YouTube channel.
It all started quite spontaneously, a year and a half ago, when he was 13 or 14 years old.
He was talking to Ned about the latest news, and Ned suggested that he create a YouTube channel.
The first videos were in the lifestyle category.
He shared his day, talked about his hobbies, and then decided to try talking about more serious topics that interested him.
After a while, the channel became a haven for teenagers like Peter, who were obsessed with science, technology, and space.
Peter shared news from the world of science, provided reviews of various gadgets, and also created lecture-style videos for those who had difficulty understanding physics and chemistry.
Slowly, he gained his first thousand subscribers. Both on Twitter and YouTube.
Peter genuinely enjoyed running his channel, and he was thrilled to see the enthusiastic comments thanking him for his diverse content.
— The first question is, what's your favorite movie? Actually, it's a very simple question. Star Wars, guys. It's the best thing the world has ever seen. — the guy chuckled slightly, and then his recording suddenly stopped.
He frowned and tried to figure out what was wrong.
It turned out that the camera's battery had run out.
Peter sighed sadly, realizing that he would have to continue his recording on his phone, and he reached for it, but the car suddenly stopped in front of his house.
He had to postpone the video until he arrived at the Tower.
________________________________________________________
— Thank you, Hap!
— Go already. — the man waved his hand and drove away from the entrance to the building to a decent distance.
The guy turned around and walked towards the entrance, taking out his pass and phone.
He turned on the recording already in the YouTube app as he headed towards the private elevator.
— Good afternoon, Peter! Let's go straight to the lab?—Friday's mechanical and polite voice sounded.
— No, FRI, let's go to the general floor, I need to deal with my homework. Tell Mr. Stark that I'll join him later. — Peter waved his hand and sighed as the elevator began to rise and looked at his phone.
— So, the second question. Why are you so good at everything? — He smiled as he read the last sentence. — Well, I've loved science since I was a kid, and I liked physics, chemistry, and math back in high school. In part, Mr. Stark and Dr. Banner served as my motivator in studying natural sciences.
The elevator doors opened, announcing his arrival at the floor.
Previously, this floor was a common floor for all the Avengers and Tony himself, but after the Civil War, it became Stark's private floor, accessible only to a select few.
As a result, there was no one here during the afternoon.
Peter dropped his bag on the couch and pulled out his textbooks, intending to complete the homework assigned to him.
Instead of moving to the table, he decided to tackle the task from the comfort of the couch.
After an hour and a half, he snacked on protein bars and returned to recording the video.
He sat down so that his background would not give any hint that he was in the Tower.
— The third question is, who is the mentor you keep talking about in the videos?
The guy smiled maliciously and giggled, realizing that the audience would not get an answer to this question.
Surely he can't say that he knows Tony Stark? No one would believe him, obviously.
— It's a secret, guys, I can't tell you. But one thing I can tell you for sure is that he's a good mentor and I really have fun with him.
He answered a few more questions, including who is his favorite Avenger. Of course, it was Iron Man.
As Peter was saying the last question about what his favorite song was, the elevator doors opened and a man's voice was heard:
— Peter!
The named one turned around, including hitting the phone, which now clearly showed Tony Stark standing in the aisle with his oil-covered clothes.
— Mr. Stark! — Peter smiled, getting up from his seat and quickly running up to his mentor, completely forgetting about the recording.
Which, in fact, was going on.
— FRI said that you would go down to the lab, but you are not and I decided to find out what happened. — Tony involuntarily looked at the guy, trying to find any noticeable injuries and nodded in satisfaction. — Have you had lunch?
— Oh, I'm filming a video for YouTube and I haven't had lunch yet. — Peter waved his hand at the phone lying on the couch, and then he realized what he was doing.
Damn, the camera is still recording.
— Damn it! — He immediately rushed over to the phone.
— Language!
It would seem that there are no problems, you just need to stop the recording and throw it in a draft, then cut out the unnecessary.
But the guy managed to fuck up here too.
Instead of stopping, he clicked on the "Publish" button.
The new video instantly appeared on Peter's page, notifying all subscribers.
— What happened, Roos? — the man came closer to the teenager, asking worriedly.
— Tony, I'm a loser. — Peter pouted and covered his face with his hands.
Stark's eyes widened when he heard the intern call him that, and then he leaned over and looked at his phone, only to burst into laughter because the spontaneous vlog had already started gaining views.
— This is not funny!
— It's very funny, kid. Tony sighed and calmed down, then patted the boy on the head. — Don't worry, my lawyers will handle it if you want.
@ironmanfan
Are we going to ignore the fact that Tony Stark is this child's mentor?
@spidermaniloveyou
SO THERE'S SOME RANDOM GUY LIVING IN STARK'S TOWER?! LIKE, WHAT THE FUCK?
@Ilovescience
And how did we go from scientific content to Peter being Tony Stark's son?
@lizziemartinez
So what's your favorite song? Maybe Tony can tell us in the next video?
@nedllids
Peter, you're so screwed.
@michellejj1
Total loser
@peterparkerscience
Hey! I'm actually offended!
@tonystarkofficial
No next video. I am Tony Stark, I declare right here: my favorite song is T.N.T. by AC/DC. And I'm even more sure that the kid's favorite song is Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, because he listens to it all the time.
@peterparkerscience
I don't listen to it all the time, Mr. Stark!
@avengersfan№1
Wait, is that really Tony Stark?!
@tonyyouaresobig
He's really Peter's father, I mean, he even calls him his kid, guys
