I could tell this kid has dealt with more lost than most people have in a life time. His eyes gained the slightly haunted look that both Natasha and Bucky have from time to time.
I didnt have the heart to ask about his nightmares last night but I could tell they shook him up. He washes his face so no one could see that he was crying, even though his eyes were a little red.
We walked through the maze like halls, (that even I get lost in from time to time) into the kitchen to see Steve in an apron that says " LANGUAGE!" At the sight it made me burst out laughing, I was kneeled over and clutching my sides. Leo was looking at me like I was crazy but was chuckling too, Steve just looked at me with an eye roll.
"I made a bunch of Pancakes they're on the table."
"Thank you Mister Rodgers." I had finally stopped laughing but at the play on names I immediatly burst out laughing again, while Steve just looked confused.
We walked over to the table, everyone was talking and laughing while shoving food in their mouths, I looked over at Leo to see him staring at Peter's plate. As usual his plate was piled sky high, and he was feasting at an incredible speed.
"Your Spiderman, spiders have naturally high metabolism which makes them eat large amounts and your wincing at loud noises, your eyes are slightly squinted. The devices on your wrist are to shoot webs, right?"
"Yeah, your very perceptive."
"All part of the job." Leo replied cheekily.
"What job?" Everyone was paying attention at this point but no one really expected him to answer, Steve even came out of the kitchen to hear if he had an answer.
"I guess you could say I was opening people's eyes up to things they cant see."
"But those people got hurt."
"Exactly Peter, those people were very lucky, they saw a glimpse of death, they had the possibility to ride the ferry of Charon. Those people were released of their duties of life and given a second chance, I was helping them in a strange way."
Leo sat down and didn't seem to notice the looks on our faces due to the fact he was munching down on a syrupy pancake.
We all had the same question going in our heads, (you can tell by how long we've worked together) evidently showing on our faces. Was this kid insane? Did he really think he was helping them by hurting them, what is he talking about with Charon?
"I almost agree with you Leo-." Everyone gasped and Leo looked up in surprise at the young spiders words
.
"-its not okay that you stole, broke into places, blew up things, caused harmful distractions, and was an arsonist. But when my uncle died in front of me a long time ago... I realized people are rarely ever ready for death but when you see it... it makes you want to change and live to your fullest. So I get what you mean I guess."It was twisted but true.
We finished our breakfast in silence, it wasnt even awkward, everyone was just in their thoughts.
"We should train later, how about 1 o'clock?" Natasha said, nods and agrees rang out around the large room.
"How about you train with us Leo?"
"Um, not today are just watch."
"Please, Leo!" Peter whined, with puppy dog eyes. Leo didnt answer at first so Peter turned up the affect of his eyes.
"Maybe." Peter seem to take that as a yes so he started jumping up and down in his chair like a three your old, we all chuckled and started to clean up.
