Rhodey Meets Peter, Captain America's PSA's, Science Fair

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I don't see what's so wrong with Pepper taking over the world. She'd make it a better place that's for sure." Mr. Rhodney said and I hummed in response. 

"Oi, kid. It's getting closer to dinner time. What type of pizza you want?" 

"Ah, meat lovers is fine." I said.

"You gonna stay for dinner, Platypus?" 

"Sure, and pepperoni is fine for me." 

"Aweseome. FRIDAY, normal order amount plus Platypus'." 

"Already done, boss." FRIDAY said and I tightend the panel to hard causing it to crack.

"Shit!" I said as the liquid spill out. 

"Glad Cap's not here, other's he'd sit you done for a Language talk." Mr. Rhodney said and I let out a snort at that, Mr. Stark helped me clean up my project and the liquid. 

"I've seen that PSA, alongside the others." I said.

"PSA's? What PSA's?" Mr. Stark asked I stared at him with wide eyes. 

"I second that question." 

"I've got a month for science fair, and I've already finished my homework. YOu two need to see these PSA's." I said.

"Alright. Off to the living room then." Mr. Stark said and I grabbed my bookbag, before following Mr. Stark and Mr. Rhodney out of the lab. Once in the living room, I got comfy on the couch. 

"FRIDAY, can you pull up Captain America's PSA's."

"Of course. Which ones would you like?" 

"How many did he make?" Mr. Stark asked. 

"Plenty." I said with a smile.

"Alright, put one on randomly and we'll go down a list." Mr. Stark said before the video started playing. Once it finished, Mr. Stark was wheezing and Mr. Rhodney was clutching his stomach. 

"Why? Why, wasn't I told about these before? I could have had blackmail!" Mr. Stark wheezed out.

"Do. Do they really show these at school?" Mr. Rhodney asked once he could breath. 

"Yep. I've seen the Detention one, and the P.E. one the most though." 

"Why detention?" 

"Late to class to many times. Plus, the one time I snapped at Flash after, Uncle Ben." I said as i looked down. 

"Flash? School bully?"

"Nothing more than name calling, that I can handle. Besides, I'd rather it be me, than someone else who couldn't handle it." I said causing Mr. Stark to just stare at me. 

"Tony, why are you just staring at Peter like he did something wrong?" I heard Pepper Potts ask as she walked in.

"Hi, Ms. Potts." I said and she smiled at me before she ruffled my hair some. 

"Hi, Peter and please, it's Pepper." 

"The Kid here, just mentioned a kid named Flash calls him names." Mr. Stark said causing Pepper to gasp before she looked at me. 

"Peter!"

"I can handle it! He doesn't get physically, and I'd rather it be me than someone else who can't handle it. As soon as it turns physically, I'll speak up." I said causing Pepper to look at me, analytically, much like the looks she gives Mr. Stark. 

"Fine. As soon as it turns physical, you go straight to the principle." 

"I will." I said.

"Good. Now, what you three boys watching?" 

"Captain America's PSA's, while we wait for pizza." I said.

"PSA's? Let me go change, before I join you. I need to see this, since I've never heard of them before." She said. 

"Okay." I said before she walked down the hall. A few moments later, Pepper walking back into the living room in a science pun shirt and a pair of sweats. 

"Nice shirt." I said.

"Thank you, Peter." Pepper said with a smile before she sat next to Mr. Stark. 

"FRIDAY, play the next PSA." I said and the next one started. Pepper, Mr. Stark, Mr. Rhodney and I continued to watch the PSA's until our pizza arrived. 

"Oh my god! Kid, these are histerical! I'm so disappointed in you that you didn't tell me these before now!" Mr. Stark said as he had tears running down his face from his own laughter, Mr. Rhodney was the same, while Pepper was looking very red in the face from her own laughter. 

"You never asked, and they didn't seem important until, Mr. Rhodney said the language sit down talk." I said with a shrug as I grabbed my last slice of pizza from my box. 

"FRIDAY, make sure that these are never deleted off the internet or my private servers." Mr. Stark said. 

"Of course, sir. Also, may I remind you that Peter's curfew is coming up." FRIDAY said. 

"Oh crap!" I said when I saw the time. 

"Welp, let's get you home kiddo." Mr. Stark said as he stood up. I grabbed my bag before I looked at Mr. Rhodney. 

"IT was nice to meet you, Mr. Rhodney." I said with a smile.

"It was nice finally meeting you to, Peter. Don't be a stranger." He said as we shook hands once more. 

"I'll try not to, sir." I said making him scoff. 

"Okay, now your pushing it." He said and I let out a laugh before I looked at Pepper. 

"Good night, Pepper." I said.

"Good night, Peter. Don't forget that you and your Aunt are coming over for dinner this weekend." She said. 

"I won't. I've written down several reminders for the both of us." I said before Mr. Stark and I left.

One month later, I was standing next to my science project with a wide grin and the first place metal around my neck, as my picture was taken. I slightly turned my head some, to see Mr. Stark, Mr. Rhodney and Aunt May standing not to far away, the three of them all smiling widely at me. Once I was allowed to leave, Aunt May pulled me into a hug, which I gladly returned as she kept telling me how proud she was. 

"You did good, kid. Better than Tones did, in college." Mr. Rhodney said as he patted my shoulder.

"I resent that statment Sour Patch." Mr. Stark said but he never lost his smile, and he ruffled my hair making me laugh as I gently swatted his hand away. 

"But I have to agree, your presentation was good. You deserve this." Mr. Stark said as he tapped my first place metal that was still hanging around my neck. 

"Also, you deserve these." Mr. Stark said as he pulled out some papers from, god knows where. I hesitantly took them to see patent forms. I blinked when I saw that they were already filed out, I looked over them until I saw the stamp of approval, before it clicked. 

"You told me these were for practice?!" I all but yelled at him, making Mr. Stark laugh as he crossed his arms. 

"I know. I lied because, I knew you would get the approval. Besides, all your projects are going to be back by yours truely." He said and I just stared at him before I smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark." I said.

"Anytime, kiddo. Now, I believe that if we don't leave within the next ten minutes, everyone is going to hear your stomach attempt to sound like the Hulk." Mr. Stark said and I laughed some since he wasn't wrong.

"Ya, food sounds great right now." I said before I left with them and my project, still smiling with my family.
