Chapter Text
(The camera focuses on three teenage boys sitting on a comfortable looking maroon couch. The wall behind them is white with blue octagon shapes as decoration. The boys obviously feel uncomfortable staring into a camera.)
“Do we just start?” Says the boy on the left. He looks to have a Filipino background and is wearing a red shirt and jeans. He’s obviously talking to the boys next to him but his eyes are locked on the camera.
“I say Peter does it.” Unlike the boy on the left he is avoiding the camera at all costs, eyes going anywhere but at the lens. He’s the boy sitting on the right and is wearing a dark blue hoodie and black sweatpants. His hair is brown with a hint of blond and he speaks with a country tilt, obviously not from the city.
“Of course I’m gonna do it.” says the final boy in the middle. He’s obviously the most comfortable with the camera and it feels like he’s staring into your soul. His hair is a more distinct color of brown styled to swoop over his forehead. He has doe eyes and what looks like a lanky frame but don’t let appearances fool you. He’s wearing a button up with a shirt underneath that says 'My science puns rarely get a reaction.' and darker jeans then the boy on his left. “It's my channel isn’t it?”
“Why haven’t you said anything then?” The boy on the left’s eyes shift to Peter’s accusingly.
“I’m thinking!” He shoots back.
“You know how embarrassed we’re gonna be about this in the future.” The boy on the right remarks as he stares off into the distance.
(The camera cuts and now the boys have slightly shifted on the couch and are staring into the camera.)
“What's up guys! My name is Peter Stark. Welcome to my channel, the suite life.” Peter is obviously trying to be enthusiastic and his frantic arm gestures show his nervousness.
“Wait, you can’t use that.” The boy on the left says. Since he’s not used to speaking into a camera, it's heard as mumbles. “I’m pretty sure Disney Channel owns that.”
“I can’t?” He seems to think for a moment, panic flashing over his face. “What are we gonna call it then?”
The boy on the right snorts. “You really haven’t learned anything about branding have you?” There's obviously an inside joke but the audience doesn’t know what that is.
Peter's ears turn red. “Shut up Keener.”
(The camera cuts again to the boys with more serious expressions on their faces.)
“My name is Peter Stark and this is my new channel.” He’s almost glaring at the camera.
The boy on the right, Keener, who leans relaxed against the couch, gives a nod. “Better.”
(The camera zooms in as Peter's jaw visibly clenches before cutting once again.)
“I know what you’re thinking, err no, I don’t but I could always ask Wanda.” The boy on the left slaps him slightly on the arm. He startles and looks at the camera again. “Oh right… I know what you’re thinking. Who are these people? Why is it worth it to watch their channel? What makes them different from all the other amateur youtubers out there?” He pauses to take a breath. “Well I’m about to tell you.”
“Parker, your ADHD is showing.” Keener jokingly says. Peter just gives a frustrated ‘ Grrrrrrrrrrrrr ’.
“Peter, deep breath in, deep breath out.” The boy on the left says and Peter does as he says.
“Thanks Ned.” He looks back at the camera with renewed focus. “As I said before my name is Peter Stark. The son of the one, the only Tony Stark AKA Iron Man. We are sitting in my bedroom at, you guessed it, Avengers tower.” There's a pause as a fake clapping track plays.
“I’m just gonna cut in here because Peter here’s just stating the obvious.” Keener says drawing all the attention. “Of Course everyone knows who he is. For those of you who live under a rock, Tony Stark did a press conference 2 days ago introducing his son Peter Parker-Stark to the world.”
(As Kenner says this the image flashes to Tony Stark's hands on Peter's shoulders at the press conference before going back to the boys on the couch.”
“I bet $200 that this video will reach 100k views within the first three days of being published.”
“200 dollars?” Peter says at the same time Ned says “100k views?”
Keener raises an eyebrow at Peter. “You can afford it. You’re Tony freaking Stark's son.” Peter only huffs.
“Ok I guess. Anyway, I’ve wanted to do this for the longest while and Pepper and the PR team finally gave me permission so here we are. The plan is stuff like challenges to inside views of the avengers.”
Ned perked up. “Oo, and pranks. Lots of pranks.”
All the boys smile amused and Keener actually sits up. “Cap’s hair is still red from the dye we put in his shampoo.”
(They all laugh as an image of Steve Rogers moodily drinking from a mug with bright red hair pops up.)
Peters is still laughing when the camera goes back to him. “So yeah, expect interviews, tours, avengers gear-”
“All the good stuff.” Ned pops in.
Peter nods then looks like he just remembered something. “I almost forgot. These are my friends Ned Leeds (The boy on the left) and Harley Keener (The boy on the right). Don’t forget to follow our social media-”
“Link in bio.” Ned says helpfully.
“Yes, in bio. We’re planning to post every week and uhh…” Peter kind of drifts off clearly forgetting what he was going to say.
Luckily Harley picked up on his struggles and continued for him. “Don’t forget to comment, like, and subscribe to show us what you think. We’re willing to take any dares and challenges you ask.” Harley smirks at the camera while Ned and Peter exchange a look.
“So next week we’re planning a Q&A so be sure to put your questions in the comments. We’ll be happy to answer those for you. (Seriously. Give us[me] some questions.)” Peter clasped his hands and looked at Harley and Ned. “Did we cover everything?”
(The video turns into a black screen with the words ‘BRANDING TO BE ADDED’ in white. AC/DC plays loudly in the background. But the video is not over yet. It opens to the one and only Tony Stark sitting in front of a very white decorated background.)
Tony Stark gazes at the camera through his iconic sunglasses. “Yes Peter, I secretly added this to your video but I’m trying to make a point. I will be watching all of these videos along with the PR team so you should probably be a little careful what you put in here unless you want to be embarrassed for the rest of your life. To everyone watching, think of this as a warning. I know what kind of people might see this and they should know I’ll be looking after my son. Anyway… Enjoy my son's videos, he’s really working hard on them. I have to teach him a lesson about branding though, again.”
(The video ends.)
