The Next Avengers: The Legend(MCU)

Another Way

***Peter's Room***

Peter woke from his heavy sleep thanks to the sunlight and his grumbling stomach.

"Hungry much?" a voice jokingly asked.

Peter looked over to the seat by his bed to see his rescuer from a few days ago, Sam, sitting there with a smirk.

"Uh, yeah." He replied, a bit surprised at his unexpected visitor.

Sam nodded at that before reaching under his seat and pulled a Burger King bag, reached in and tossed a burger over to Peter who caught it with ease.

"Figured you might be when you woke up," He stated as he began to eat one of the burgers himself.

"Thanks, thanks for that. Um..Sam right?"

"That's me. Sam Alexander."

"Yeah, sorry I almost didn't remember."

The Latino kid chuckled at that. "Not surprised. When I told you, you were kinda...blowing your lid."

Peter remembered that. And a tinge of guilt came with it. He let out a sigh as the memories came flashing back. ".....yeah."

The two teens ate in silence for a minute before Peter's thoughts moved over to the kid who saved his life.

"So you've got powers too?" He asked, trying to make conversation.

"Yup."

"Are they natural or...?"

"Nope. It's all in the helmet." Sam tapped the side of his head to further his statement. "But it's a lot cooler than it seems."

"Sure looks it. I didn't see any breathing apparatus on it though. Your mouth is visible and it seems easy enough to slip on and off."

"It's uh, heh, it's a long story."

"I've got plenty of time." Peter shrugged his shoulders before taking another bite of his burger.

So Sam began to explain the complexities of the Nova Helmet to Peter. How it allowed him to breathe, how it had it's own artificial intelligence/log on every planet in the universe, and how it gave him the power of something called The Nova Force.

It was all intriguing, but Peter was curious as to where and how Sam got the Helmet. So much so that he asked him about it. Sam obliged and began to tell Peter the story of his father and that he had passed, how the Helmet originally worked for him and no one else, and that he left it for him before he did. He told him of how he met the Nova Corps on some planet called: Xandar. Then he met the Guardians and was trained by them and gained another family with them.

It all boggled Peter's mind. To the point where he couldn't help but feel emotional about it. Sam, was in essence, a space cop with superpowers! How cool was that?! But he also lost his father.....Peter could definitely relate to that in more way than one.

It was at that moment that the spider teen felt a ping of hurt as he began to relay too Sam his life story. His parents leaving, losing his uncle, getting his powers, becoming an Avenger, finding a father within Tony....and to now.

Sam never really had a close friend before, but Peter was quickly becoming one. One that he could relate to, talk to, an actually  be cool with. It was really overwhelming.

"I'm sorry, Peter." Sam said with a bit of hurt in his voice, "I'm sorry you had to go through all that.

"It's alright, man. At least we made it this far, right?" Peter held up a fist for a fist bump.
