"Peter Parker picked a peck of pickled peppers."

"I thought it was 'picked a pot'?"

"No, it was peck. Or maybe pack..."

"You guys are weird."

Peter and Shuri both looked up from the tablet. They both sat at the kitchen counter-table thingy. Bucky had just walked in and grabbed a plum from the fridge. It had been only about five weeks since Steve his merry men were marked wanted criminals and three weeks since the entirety of the Sokovia Accords were being demolished and rewritten. The once-criminals were now living with everybody else at the Avengers Compound. School was starting back up in a month. The teens shared a look.

"Hurricane Katrina?"

"More like Hurricane Tortilla!"

"Oh no!"

"Our table!"

"It's broken!"

"What are thooooooose?!"

"Those are my crocks!"

"This bish is empty."

"Yeet--"

"Stop!" Bucky playfully groaned, covering his ears, "You're teen language is killing me!"

"Yaaaaaas."

Bucky threw a second plum at Shuri before outright sprinting from the room. Peter caught it inches from her face and took a casual bite from it.

Shuri made a face, "I'm still not used to that."

"I doubt you ever will be," Peter replied.

"You should really warn someone when your Peter-tingle activates."

"First of all, don't call it that. Second of all, it warns me of danger. I can't warn others, only save them. I don't get enough heads up to say it aloud."

"Seems like your spidey-sense has some weaknesses."

Peter sighed but didn't argue. At least she wasn't calling it Peter-tingle anymore. He finished the plum and tossed the pit into the garbage can at the other side of the room.

"Anyway," Peter tapped the screen, "Where were we?"

"Pot or peck or pack?"

"Let's go with pack for now."

Again, they were interrupted as both their kimoyo beads rang. Shuri and Peter pulled up their holograms, displaying the text from the chat group.

Loki: I need to tell you something.

Peter: What?

Shuri: What do you want to tell us?

Peter: Loki!

Loki: Sorry, I had to deal with something. I have a surprise.

Peter: Oooh what is it?

Shuri: Tell me you did something cool.

Loki: I did but it's not that specifically.
I'm coming to New York.

Peter: OMG REALLY?!

Shuri: YAS MY DUDE

Loki: Indefinitely actually. I'm hitching a ride with my brother and some friends but I'm ditching them when I land in about five minutes.
