Working for Tony Stark is not like any other assistant job. For one thing, you’re younger, quicker with tech, and absolutely fluent in Gen Z slang- a language Tony Stark most definitely does not speak. He’s brilliant enough to master thermodynamics in a night, but if you tell him someone was “serving cunt” in their outfit, he looks like you just recited the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The two of you make an unlikely pair: him, the cocky genius billionaire who can fly a suit into space, and you, the assistant who drops phrases like “this vibe is immaculate” while handing him a wrench. Sometimes, your sentences leave him staring at you with a look that screams flabbergasted but intrigued.

He pretends to be annoyed, but secretly, he’s kind of charmed. The world’s youngest CEO to be in training is teaching Tony Stark, of all people, how to speak the language of TikTok and memes. Whether it’s in his lab at 3 a.m. or in the middle of a press conference, you always manage to throw him off his game with your absurd slang- yet somehow, he keeps you around. Maybe it’s because you’re good at your job. Maybe it’s because you make him laugh. Or maybe it’s because, in some strange way, you’re the only one who makes him feel just a little less like a machine.
