QUEENS


     Peter comes home after classes. When he opened the door, he doesn't even notice Aunt May in the living room talking to someone.

     "Aunt May-" Peter was left speechless, he then puts his headphones off.

     "Oh, hey Kid," Tony Stark said, surprisingly smiling at him. Parker was still speechless.

     "Oh my God, it's Tony Stark! THE Iron Man!" he thought to his head. "Wh -what are- what are you doing here? I- um- I'm Peter," Peter said happily to Stark.

     "I know, Kid." Stark said in return.

     "Mr. Tony Stark here is really funny. What a surprise you came to visit here!" Aunt May said.

     "I gotta say, hey, we need to talk privately, if that's okay with you?" Stark asked May.

     "Oh, it's fine! Peter, accompany Mr. Tony Stark to your room," ordered Aunt May.

     "Yes, May," Peter said in return.


     Stark and Parker went to his room, Stark locking the door behind. Peter sits down on his bed and Tony was standing in front of him.

     "So," Stark says, making Peter look at him. "Are you that spider superhero?" Stark questions Parker. Peter was shocked.

     "How did he know that?" he asked himself. "What? No!" Peter then stood up.

     "Oh, really?" Stark questioned the boy, making sure he wasn't lying.

     "Ye- yeah..." Parker answered the billionaire.

     Stark then opened Parker's vent, revealing Parker's homemade suit. Parker quickly grabs it and hides it on his closet, now blocking it, standing there. Stark showed Peter his phone, making a hologram, showing the YouTube video.

     "This is you, correct?" asked Stark. "Look at that, your speed and senses are incredible! You saved that car over there, did you know that that car is running on a 40 mph speed? Such strength you have, Kid!" Stark continued. Stark then looked at Peter, noticed something wrong with his expression. "He looks a little sad and nervous? Did I say something wrong?" Stark thought to himself.

     "How did he find me? How did he know that- ho- how did he know me very well? Very clearly? Well, for one thing that I'm sure is that, he IS Tony Stark after all, a genius!" Peter thought to himself. Suddenly, he noticed Stark moving towards him.

     "So, tell me Kid," Stark said, "What do you call yourself?" Peter suddenly looked at him, surprised. "Spiderling? Spiderboy? Crime- fighting Spider?" Stark continues to babble made- up spider names until-

     "S- Spiderman," Peter finally answered.

     "Does your Aunt May know?-"

     "N- no! She can't know! She'll freak out!" Peter cuts the billionaire off.

     Peter sat down on his bed again, this time he's looking exhausted, Stark sat down beside him. "Listen, Kid," Stark said while putting his hand on the boy's shoulder, "I need you to help me."

     "W- what?" Peter questioned.

     "Have you been to Germany before?" asked the billionaire.

     "No, I haven't, why?" Peter questioned the billionaire again.

     "I need you to come to Germany with me-"

     "I- I can't!" Peter cuts the billionaire off, again.

     "Why?" Stark questioned the boy.

     "I- I got homework..." Peter answered, making Stark silent.

     "I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that," Stark said to Peter. "I can handle anything. Your school, your rent, your tuition fee, your bills. All you gotta do is help me." Stark said, making Peter lighten up.

     "What about Aunt May?" Peter worriedly asked.

     "Easy," Tony answered while standing up. Stark continued to grab the door, unlocking it, until-

     The kid trapped his hand with his web. "F- fine, I'll help you, I'll go to Germany with you. Just- just don't tell Aunt May," Peter said to the billionaire.

     "All right, Spiderman," Stark said to the boy.



     "Now, get this thing off of me."

     "Y- yes, sir, sorry."
