Peter’s eyes widened in surprise and admiration as he looked at Fleinhardt. “You were at the International Space Station? That is amazing!” He almost looked offended as Fleinhardt brushed it off. ‘Unimportant’ he said. ‘Nothing special’ he said. He was crazy. “I think it’s really cool. I mean, not many people get to go up there! I mean, I’ve never been to space.” He never imagined he’d ever be in a room with other people and be the only one who had mever gone to space. It was such a surreal thought - statistically it should have been the opposite. Space had never been his main interest, but it was still fascinating. He’d jump at the chance to go up there.<br/><br/>Peter pushed it all away as the conversation shifted to their reason for being there. He was surprised that Tony mentioned it was for Avengers-related work, but he didn’t show it. It did make sense, after all. It was easier to twist the truth than to fabricate a lie. It wasn’t like Fleinhardt would ever see his work. He was going to use the materials for his webshooters, and he didn’t plan on showing anyone his design. Besides Tony, ofcourse. He returned Tony’s grin with an innocent smile. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He turned back to Fleinhardt. “It was nice to meet you, professor. I’d love to talk with you some more another time.” He them grabbed Tony’s arm and pulled him along. Now that he knew where the polymer was, he was getting excited again at the thought of working with somerhing new. He couldn’t wait to get started.
