Erosia | 2016

Definitely not an Avenger. I've now been in New York for two years now and Tony still hasn't recruited me. I don't want to say that I feel I deserve a spot but I do.

"Did you see this?" Peter's voice pulls me out of my trance. I look over his shoulder at his phone. "Looks like Captain America destroyed some place called Lagos?" An explosion goes off on the screen. Hundreds if not thousands of people flood the streets, running for their lives.

"Looks like it." I cringe as we get onto the elevator. "Gosh Cap. What did you do?" I look down at the DVD player in Peter's other hand. "What are you even going to do with that thing? I mean don't you already have one?"

He looks down as well. "Y-Yeah but I saw it and thought maybe you could use it. We could fix it up maybe." His cheeks have a slight red tint to them.

I laugh lightly, adjusting my backpack strap. "Peter, I have one."

"That dingy thing needs to be trashed." Peter scoffs. "It doesn't even have a Blu-ray option!"

"You found this one in the trash!" I point to his hands.

"It's in great condition though!" He exclaims as we exit the elevator. "Come on we'll test it out." He nods his head to his apartment.

"Oh I see!" My eyes light up. "You just wanted to spend time with me." I hold a hand to my chest. "How sweet."

"If that helps you sleep at night." He playfully rolls his eyes as he unlocks his apartment. "Hey, May! Chloe's here. Hope that's cool."

"Oh that's great with me! How was school today?" She calls from the living room. I enter in to greet her and my eyes widen.

"Okay. There's this crazy car parked outside..." Peter sees Tony and his eyes widen as well.

"Oh, Mr. Parker." Tony smiles before looking to me. "Miss Benson." Oh my gosh. He knows.

"Hey! Uh, I'm--I'm--I'm Peter." Peter fidgets like crazy.

"Tony. But I'm guessing you already know that." He's so darn cocky.

"What are—what are you—what are you doing here?"

"I thought it's about time we met. You've been getting my e-mails, right?" Tony winks aggressively to the both of us. We nod.

"Regarding the..." I move my hands around urging him to go on.

"You didn't tell me about the grant." May looks to Peter.

"The September Foundation." Tony adds. "Yeah. Remember when you applied, the both of you?" Peter and I look to each other and nod. "I approved, so now we're in business. So convenient that both of you are here."
