It was a strange thing for people to contact Tony Stark by message. Normally everyone in the tower either got to him through Jarvis, but yet, for some odd reason, he was getting a bundle of beeps from his phone. Rolling his eyes at the probability that Cap had finally gotten someone in the tower with enough willpower to teach him a simple thing as texting, the tired billionaire reached for his device. The familiar homescreen of Pepper and him smiling into the camera graced his eyes as he clicked on the notification--opening up the messaging app.
Unknown: I swear if I could sue the Avengers they would be B R O K E
Unknown:
Unknown: like seriously?! How the hell am I supposed to get to school tomorrow!?
Unknown: bastards🙄
Unknown:
Who is this?
Unknown:
How'd you get this number?
Uknown: oh shit sorry. Just a wrong number, man. Chill
Ukwnown: seriously though, I love the Avengers but man, they need to figure out some kinda insurance thing for this!
Uknown:
Huh. That's actually a good idea
Uknown: thanks, I'm full of them *flips off cool suns like a real badass*
Uknowkn: so what do I call you?
Uknown:
You don't
Uknown:
talk to one of your friends maybe?
Uknown: that's a good one😭 old people and thinking kids have friends. Priceless
Uknown: never gets old
Uknown: didn't your parents ever tell you not to talk to strangers?
Uknown:
And I'm not old
Uknown: PLSS
Uknown: you text like an old person. Maybe not like grandparent age but definitely old. Like my P.E. teacher. He's like 48 or something
Unknown: sorry, man. Just spittin facts🤷♀️
Uknown: and to answer your previous question, my parents aren't exactly in the land of the living. So any caution about strangers is out the window.
Uknown:
Oh.
Uknown: 😭✌sorry man, this is why I dont have friends. Just call me parentless.
Uknown: so yeah, what do I call you? I kinda wanna make up a name
Uknown: you seem smart. Common sense is a hard thing to come by nowadays. Things werent like this back in the day. Anyway, how about Mr. Smartypants?
Unknown:
Aren't you like 16? What do you no about back in the day?
Unknown: not a lot but I'm sure you know all about it😉
Unknown:
🤦♂️respect your elders, kid
Unknown: Hah! So you admit it!
Unknown:
🙄
Uknown: Anyway, about that nickname are you taking it or leaving it? I'm sure I can come up with something else better than that anyhow
Unknown:
No.
Unknown: okayyyy. Give me something then, what do you like to do?
Unknown: You drain the life out of me
Unknown: that's what my aunt says! Lookit you, some kinda telepathic thing going on here. Or your just really smart.
Unknown:
It doesnt exactly take a rocket scientist to realize your annoying. But yes, you could say I'm a genius
Unknown: that's so cool! Also, I'm really hurt.
Unknown changed Unknown to Genius
Genius:
That's great🙄 Who are you anyway? Seriously I could be a criminal and your just giving away all your information. What do they teach you in school?
Unknown: well now that you say that I'm not gonna tell you
Genius:
Good. So this conversations over. Delete this number
Unknown: NO WAIT! I was kidding. Dont go.
Unknown: I'm Y/n but that's not really fair that you know my name and I dont know yours....sooo
Genius changed Unknown to Y/n
Genius:
Nuhuh, shoulda thought about that before giving out your name, kid
Y/n: man I thought you were nice
Genius: Hmm tough luck then, huh
Y/n: whatever.
Y/n: you said you were smart. What do you do? I suppose you have a job
Genius:
I'm a mechanic/engineer. I dabble in a bit of both here and there
Y/n: neat :) I wanna be an engineer too. My aunt says that's stupid though, so I'm probably gonna end up being a teacher or something boring
Genius:
Do what you wanna do, kid. You dont wanna waste your life doing something you hate
Y/n: nice advice lmao. Your probably right but if we're talking what I REALLY wanna do, that would be becoming an Avenger but obviously that's insane lol
Genius:
Weren't you just saying how you wanted to sue them?
Y/n: it's a love-hate relationship
Genius:
Why do you wanna be an Avenger?
Y/n: they dont even have to do this. Save the world. They could easily not care like everyone else. But they do. They care so much that they sacrifice part of their lives in dedication to keeping earth safe. I think that's super cool. I dont wanna live in a terrible world until I die, might as well start to make some changes
Y/n: being an Avenger is the ideal dream but I probably wont ever achieve that so even small things, the little guy who saves cities like police officers could be cool.
Y/n: Aunt Joss already kicked that one off the table lol. So I'm gonna be a teacher. Nice and safe and boring
Genius:
Your aunt kinda sounds like a fun killer
Y/n: never have truer words been said. Shes kinda a bitch though ngl. Whatever, doesnt really matter
Y/n: I'm so sorry. I just basically poured my life story out to you.
Genius:
No problem kid. Dont worry about it. You sound like you needed to talk
Y:n guess I was right about you!
Genius:
What?
Y/n: you are nice!
Y/n: lol I've been talking a lot. Do you have a favourite Avenger?
Genius:
That's an easy question. Iron Man
Genius:
And you?
Y/n: I love them all but if I had to choose a favourite I'd choose Iron Man too
Y/n: sorry, I gotta go, I got school tomorrow. Have to get up early to walk🙄 thanks to earth's mightiest
Genius:
Good. It's getting late, your aunt wont be happy if you cant function in the morning
Y/n: oh please, I've functioned on a half hour sleep and a can of monster for a whole 2 days. I think I'll be fine🙃
Genius:
That's not healthy, kid. Go to sleep
Y/n: whatever. Bye Genius
Genius:
Bye kid
Tony placed down his phone and stared off into space for a second. Avengers insurance was a good idea. He'd have to get on that. Tony sorta felt bad that they demolished her car like that. He imagined there were countless other one somewhere in a junkyard, all because of them.
Looking back over the conversation, Tony couldn't help but feeling weird. He didn't interact with kids often. Originally, he'd thought that they were just grubby and annoying but he actually liked this one.
It kind of ticked him off how her aunt was pushing her away from what she wanted to do but parents were like that. In Tony's opinion, the woman needed to just back off a bit.
In the pit of his stomach, he couldnt help but feel fluffy at the occurence. Such a random coincidence that out of everyone in the world she could've had the number to, it was him.
He tried to think that maybe everything happened for a reason. He didn't believe that but in this occurance he hoped. Maybe he could help her out a bit. He was Tony Stark after all.
A lopsided grin absentmindedly came to his face.
"Miss. Potts is asking for you, sir," Jarvis sounded.
"I'll be right up. Why doesn't she just come here, actually?"
"She hasn't said this, sir but I'm afraid she may be trying to coax you up to bed."
Tony huffed, pushing himself off the office chair. "Couldn't hurt," he mumbled.
"It would prevent you from being a hypocrite, sir," Jarvis added in hope.
Tony rolled his eyes. He had a feeling that the kid's messages were going to be an ongoing thing.
But he wasn't opposed of the idea.
