The Saiyan and the Spider

The Ultron Protocol

I have no idea how much time is between Avengers and Age of Ultron, so I'm just gonna say about a year, making it about six months since the Young Avengers were formed.

Leek: What the hell happened?

Hawkeye was being pushed down the hall on a stretcher, with a huge gash in his stomach.  Tony and Natasha were following behind him.

Tony: Some super fast guy.  He and a woman with... mind control powers?  I don't know, but they were helping guard Strucker.

Cindy: Is he gonna be okay?

Natasha: He just needs to rest for a while.  He'll be fine.  Doctor Helen Cho is gonna patch him up with artificial tissue.

Leek: Thank God.

Clint: Yeah, I'm gonna live forever.  I'll be made of plastic!

I tried not to laugh as they went down the hall.  Cindy and I had been getting breakfast, waiting for the Avengers to come back, when all of this happened.  We went back to finish eating, and started heading up towards our rooms.

Leek: So... you know the party Tony's throwing on Friday?

Cindy: Yeah, what about it?

Leek: I was wondering if you wanted to go with me.

I had been hyping myself up to ask her, but Riri, Miles, and Lana haven't been helping my nerves. 

Flashback to Last Night

Leek: I really don't know how to do this!  I'm not even from Earth, I don't know how to ask out a girl!  Come on, Miles, you've gotta have SOME kind of advice!

Danny: You really think Miles knows how to talk to girls?

Riri and Lana were trying to hold their laughter as Miles glared at him, before turning back to me.

Miles: Dude, just go for it.  The worst that can happen is... well... she can reject you?

Riri: Yeah, that would suck.

Lana: Yeah, but I'm sure you'll do fine... probably?

Leek: Ugh, why the hell did I even come to you guys?

Present Time

Cindy blushed at the sudden question.

Leek: It's fine if you don't want to, I just-

Cindy: Are you kidding?  I would love to!

I was surprised, but I had a huge smile.

Miles: I knew you could do it, bro!

Miles scared the crap out of us, since he was stuck to the ceiling.  He dropped down, laughing hysterically, and landed next to us.  I just sighed, and picked him up by the collar... and walked towards the window.

Miles: W-what are you doing?

Leek: I notice you have your suit on.  Were you going out on patrol?  Mind if I join you?

Miles: Oh, uh, yeah, sure.  Lana and I were gonna head out.

Leek: That means you have your web shooters on, right?

Miles: Yeah, they're part of my costume.  Why do yo-

I tossed him out the window, hearing his screams and cursing get fainter as he fell.  I looked at Cindy and smiled.
