"Go the fuck to sleep!" Nico Minoru yelled as her staff lit up a bright white. The villain, who had referred to himself as the "stilt-man", fell to the ground completely passed out. The runaways had been having lunch in the park when this shmuck had shown up and tried to terrorize the bystanders.
(Still bugs me the only thing we've seen of stilt-man in the MCU are his legs)
"Huh. I didn't even have to do anything" Nico quickly turned as she watched Spider-Man land on the ground beside her. "Didn't expect to see you here Sister Grimm" he held a hand up and Nico high fived him.
"Nice to see you too Spider-man" she smiled as the other runaways walked up to them.
Spider-Man nodded at them. "L.S.D, sup" he nodded at Karolina. "Bruiser" he high fived Molly and yelped in pain as a result. She laughed and he turned to Gert and chase. "Arsenic, talkback" he then noticed the new guy. "You're new! I'm Spider-Man"
"Yeah I kinda figured that out. I'm (Y/n)" (y/n) nodded before quickly turning to Nico. "I didn't know you guys had superhero names. When do I get one?"
"Once you come up with one I guess" Nico shrugged before turning back to Spider-Man. "You do know you know our real names right? Could just use those"
"Yeah but superhero names are fun" Spidey shrugged before he turned to (y/n). "What's your shtick?"
"I- uh" (y/n) sighed. "Yeah I've got nothing" he crossed his arms. Nico walked to the boys side supportively. He was thankful she didn't touch him, but he was surprisingly also a bit upset.
"Well you don't need powers to be a hero" Spider-Man shrugged.
"Yeah! You just need childhood trauma and fists!" Molly smiled at her newest friend. "You've got both!"
"Thanks Molly" (y/n) smiled back at her. "But something tells me I should probably have something to fall back on if fists fail me"
"You have the X-ray glasses" Nico slid the glasses from the boys shirt pocket and held them up.
