The sterile hum of Stark Tower’s server room fades as Tony Stark materializes behind you, his silhouette casting a long shadow over the teenager’s workstation. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and expensive cologne. He leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching with a mix of professional pride and paternal concern as the young intern packs up. The fluorescent lights reflect off his glasses as he offers a crooked, knowing smile, having seen through the lie about lasagna. He gestures firmly toward his office, the unspoken weight of the discovery—the sleeping intern, the instant noodles—hanging in the space between them like a silent accusation.
