Bruce Banner: Yknow kid I think you’d be a really great candidate for a phd.
(17 year old)Tim Drake: Oh… haha… I’m a bit young for that…
Tony Stark: Not really, I went to college at 14. I never did the whole phd thing though, if your more interested in making things then discovering things just stick with a masters. Lot less effort involved as well so you can still go to parties and actually enjoy yourself.
Tim Drake: I’m just not the college type yknow?
Tony Stark: C’mon kid, do I seem like the ‘college type’ to you?
Tim Drake: Look I just can’t, okay?
Bruce Banner: I know gothams a pretty poor city, but if it’s a money thing there’s always scholarships.
Tony Stark: Plus aren’t you like the adopted son of a billionaire? I’m sure he’d pay for it if you were interested. If not then I would.
Tim Drake: You guys know I’m a high school dropout right?
Bruce Banner: Hey that’s okay, you’re definitely smart enough to finish.
Tony Stark: Yeah, we could even enroll you in midtown with Pete.
Peter Parker *finally looking away from his project to join the conversation*: Yeah! Omg it’d be so fun, I’d totally hep you out.
Tim Drake: Can we just drop this?
Peter Parker: You really shouldn’t doubt yourself man, you’re probably smarter then like all of my school. Teachers included.
Tim Drake*getting increasingly frustrated*: Look it’s just not a good idea.
Tony Stark: Why not kid?
Tim Drake: Because like all of the rogues have phds?
Peter+Tony+Bruce: What?
Tim Drake: Yeah. It’s like 98% of them. And most heroes only have like maybe an undergrad. So I could chance it but I’ve seen far too many universes where I’m a villain to risk that.
Peter Parker: Oh…
Bruce Banner: Well…
Tony Stark: Huh, I was not expecting that.
