(FFH) Bugging Friendship: Ch5 (Avenger)

“So who’s this girl you’re swinging around with? She make your suit?” Tony Stark asked Peter as he flicked through the videos. “Is she your girlfriend?” Peter just stared at the hero.

Not only had he been caught out by Tony’s sudden arrival only then, to have his identity blown clean out the water by him by his idol. Then he goes to ask about Marinette.

“She isn’t my girlfriend. I’ve only known her a few months.” He sighed in frustration. You hang out with someone almost daily and suddenly everyone thinks you’re dating.

Tony watched the car catch recording and the interaction between the teens. “Sure kid, and I’m captain America.” He flicked his phone shut. “So is she local? Do you two have little sleepovers and discuss hero tactics? How long she been at this?” Peter grumbled under the questions.

“That’s not my place to say sir. I’m not going to say things without her here. Just because you found out mine...” Peter stopped after Tony flicked a picture of him and Marinette up to his face.

“Is this her? I’ll go ask her myself. Might as well go get it from the horse’s mouth I guess.” Peter didn’t say anything. “Good. Anyway kid I need you two, to come with me on Avengers business.” Peter’s eyes lit up.

Finally a big break, he would finally get to be seen on their level, not the small time hero he’s been so far.

“You like Germany kid?” Peter’s thoughts were cut short at that comment.

“P-pardon?” Tony was busy looking at Peter’s suit again.

“Germany, you’ll be needed to take an extended trip with us.”

“I-I can’t just skip school!” Peter argued.

“I’m sure if I speak to your aunt and have a word...” Peter stuck Tony’s hand to the door.

“Don’t say anything to her.” He stated calmly, Tony was taking it too far. The Avenger stared at Peter.

“Okay Spiderman, now get my hand free.” Peter rushed over to get the dissolver.

Tony left not long after with May being excited about Peter working with Tony stark. “I’m so proud of you!” Peter chuckled nervously.

“Thanks May.” With that he returned to his room and flopped on his bed, his mind going a mile a minute.

“Wonder what will happen between Mister Stark and Marinette?”

For said Avenger, he spent his car ride looking into the young woman that was Marinette Dupain-Cheng or Shenlong as she called herself her.

Italian and Chinese background but born and grew up in Paris for fourteen years before one day, just randomly appearing in New York several weeks ago.

There was no mention of flight travel for her to arrive, no C.C.T.V of her flying in. She just randomly appeared in New York, and was transferring from her old school to one in New York.

Seriously, was he the only one that found this a huge flaw in government standard?

She was enrolled with no issue and now currently runs around New York in a red and Black suit.

Much like a certain young lady from Paris in a Red and Black suit once did a few months ago.

Wonder if they are connected?

Marinette’s background was impressive for a ‘young designer’. Several contest with one that made a fashion show. Plus done design work for small and big time music groups.

Wonder if she was the one who made the kids suit? It be interesting if it was, as it was pretty well made and Peter didn’t scream a clothes designer if his Pyjamas from before he changed suits was anything to go by.

Arriving at her current address, Tony lowered his glasses to eye the unique building.

Well if someone was running around calling themselves a weather dragon and used weather powers. Then this place would certainly fill the criteria for living quarters.

“Okay weather girl, let’s see if you’re in?” He ascended the stairs to the large doors before giving several large knocks to the door.

He waited for several minutes, a long sigh of annoyance coming to surface before he raised his arm again.

That’s when the door opened and he was greeted by a young woman bald woman in white.

Okay, not the weirdest thing he’d encountered in his time, but certainly new. “Can I help you?” The Ancient spoke as she eyed the hero. Tony composed himself.

“Hello there, I was wondering if I could speak with a Marinette Dupain-cheng?” He began as he flicked his phone up and a hologram appeared. “We held a design contest at her school and she won it. I’d like to meet her in person if that’s okay?” The woman smiled and Tony stepped forward.

Then her hand landed on his chest. “Mister Stark as her active Guardian I’m well aware of her goings on. She hasn’t applied for such contests so I must say have a good day sir.”

The door snapped shut on his face. Tony stared for a moment.

“Okay... rude much.” Tony spoke allowed as he turned away. “Shutting the door on me,” he grumbled as he got in his car.

The Ancient One smiled at Stark as the car drove off. “Who was that?” Marinette called out as she reached the top of the stairs. The Ancient one turned to the girl.

“Oh it was just someone knocking on my door at the wrong time. They’ll be back in a few years.”

Marinette tilted her head in curiosity as the master of the mystic arts walked away. “Have a nice day Marinette.”

It would be a few days later before Marinette found out Peter had left for Germany.
