Spider-Man Fic: Not a Navigator

This is a 235 word Spider-Man drabble for the Weekend Challenge at 1_million_words     ENJOY!!

Tony Stark knew that his two pseudo-adopted kids had genius level intellects but sometimes they both acted as if they didn't have a brain in their heads.

"Harley, I love you dearly, but seriously, what the hell?!"

Harley Keener was similar to his mentor in that he was a born fixer.  He enjoyed nothing more then taking apart a machine to see how it worked and then putting it back together again, better then new.

He was also like Tony in that he had a special affinity for working with engines, so his decision to major in mechanical engineering made perfect sense.

But for someone so mechanically gifted, he had a massive problem with geography.  In other words, Harley had a tendency to mix up the locations of the potential schools he was interested in applying to.

Tony finally had to sit him down to explain that "Clermont College was in Ohio, Claremont was in California, he wouldn't be betraying the South if he went to a school near General Grant's birthplace and you didn't need to know Russian to live in the Village of Moscow."

Secretly, Peter thought a lot of Harley's worries were legitimate, especially the one about Moscow, and now thanks to Harley, their mentor could no longer hold Peter's thinking the 1692 witchcraft trials were in Salem, Oregon or that  the village of Batavia invented baklava over his head any longer.
