[Is it getting super serious with Agnes then????? Holy crap! What area are you guys thinking of looking? And you’ll have a decent security egg when you sell since you’ve been in there a few years. So that’s really good!]

Tony ignored the talk about DUM-E. The correct response was what didn’t he do now? The AI was infantile but he couldn’t bring himself to reprogram him. DUM-E didn’t need to be changed. Not really. He was his first friend. And for awhile, he was his only friend.

So back to the boy wonder.

“Heard of Spider-Man? Of course you haven’t. No one had. He’s this two bit teenage super hero from Queens. Recruited him to help out when Cap went off the deep end and I’ve been watching him ever since. Watching out for him. He has a hot aunt.”

Which wasn’t a lie but not the whole truth. Aunt May was a little too skinny and short for him. Tony liked something to hold onto.

“You’d like him. You’re both radioactive. I still don’t understand how a spider was radioactive to begin with but... whatever. Origin stories are boring. The kid’s a genius though.”
