"Ah, no, Peter Benjamin Parker, if this is another one of those excuses for you to try to leave this house, I won't allow it"
Said May, with a melancholic expression, while looking at Peter with sadness on her face.
"Of course not, Aunt May. I would never do such a thing, especially when it comes to the person, I love the most in this life. When I lost my parents, even when I was 8 years old, you and Uncle Ben were like a father and mother to me. So, don't think about such a thing; I would never abandon you. But I also can't deny that this opportunity would be a milestone in my life. Imagine me working in such an incredible place. It never crossed my mind, but look, this opportunity has finally come."
Expressed Peter, trying to feign the emotion he was feeling at that moment, but it did not go unnoticed by May.
May sighed deeply as she watched her nephew closely.
"Pete, I don't know."
"Please, Aunt May, I promise to always keep in touch with you. I know this decision may seem selfish, but I need to try. It would be a unique chance in my life, something that could really change my future."
Peter insisted.
May lowered her gaze, pondering Peter's words. A mix of concern and understanding reflected in her eyes.
"You've always been a good boy, Peter. And I know your uncle would be very proud of you. Alright, you win. You can go for this internship."
May said, looking at her nephew, still a bit sad but proud of him for taking this big step.
"Can I really?"
Peter asked, unable to contain his excitement.
May said nothing, just nodded as a sign of approval.
"Thank you, Aunt. You have no idea how important this is to me."
Peter declared, giving his aunt a long and warm hug.
With a proud smile on her face, May returned the hug before gently pulling away to look him in the eyes.
"Go ahead, Pete. Do your best and seize this opportunity. But when are you starting?"
May asked, looking at Peter with a curious expression.
"I still don't know; I'll have to call Mr. Stark to ask."
Peter replied as he walked away from the hug and quickly headed to his room. After closing the door, he took out the card Tony had given him before leaving, grabbed his phone, and started dialing the number on the card.

"Hello, Happy Hogan speaking, what do you want?"
Said Happy on the other end of the line.
"Hello, I'm Peter Parker, the student for whom Mr. Tony made an internship proposal in your company..."
Peter also said on the other end of the line but was interrupted by Happy.
"Oh, yes! The Spider-Man guy. He warned me."
Happy said before continuing.
"So, do you accept the internship?"
Happy asked, showing some enthusiasm in his voice.
"Yes, tell Mr. Stark that I'm interested in the internship."
Peter replied, trying to stay calm, but his excitement was evident.
"I'm glad to hear that. So, tomorrow, at 8:00 in the morning, be in front of the company buildings waiting for me; I'll come by to pick you up and take you to the complex, understand?"
Happy asked, demonstrating professionalism.
"Understood perfectly, thanks, Mr. Hogan. I'll be there at 8:00 in the morning."
Peter replied, with enthusiasm overflowing in his voice.
"You're welcome, kid. We'll talk better tomorrow. Now, I have to hang up; I have an appointment. Goodbye."
Happy said, ending the call.
After Peter hung up the phone with a radiant smile on his face, he could hardly contain the excitement of finally being able to fulfill his dream of joining the Avengers.
The next day, Peter woke up with a mix of nervousness and excitement. He dressed quickly, checked the clock several times, and finally headed to the door, went down the stairs, and began walking to the kitchen.
After finishing his coffee, Peter looked at the clock once again when he realized it was almost time. He grabbed the house keys, locked the door, and then headed to the Stark Industries building.
At exactly 8:00, he was already in front of the company buildings, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Happy Hogan.
While Peter patiently waited for Happy's arrival, a thousand thoughts passed through his mind.
(Man, who would have thought that one day this moment would come? Me being part of the Avengers. This went from 0 to 100 very quickly, and I'm going to be trained by none other than Natasha Romanoff herself, man, the Black Widow. This is amazing, and I'll also be part of the group with Wanda and her brother.)
Peter thought as he looked down the street with an excited expression, but after thinking about Pietro, his face quickly changed. However, when his mind returned to Wanda's name, he ended up feeling awkward.
(I hope Wanda has been okay these days, and I would be lying if I said I didn't miss her too. Being who she is, a kind and lovely person, it's hard not to like her.)
While Peter lost himself in his thoughts, he didn't even notice the presence of a black and luxurious car approaching the building.
The black car stopped in front of Peter, interrupting his thoughts. The door opened, revealing Happy Hogan at the wheel.
"Hey, kid, you must be Peter Parker, right?"
Said Happy, giving a friendly wave.
"Yeah, and you must be Happy that I talked to on the phone, right?"
Peter asked, a bit nervous.
"That's right."
Happy said, getting out of the car with the keys in his hand and walking to the back, then opening the trunk.
"Did you bring anything?"
Happy asked, looking at the young man in front of him.
"I didn't bring much, just my backpack and this suitcase."
Peter said, pointing to the things he had brought.
"Is that all you have?"
Happy asked, looking back at the young man. This time, Peter didn't answer; he just nodded his head in confirmation.
"Alright."
Happy said, taking the suitcase from Peter's hands and placing it in the trunk, and then closing it.
