You're not Steve

Just the Average Day

Chapter 61

Peter's Pov:

"OH SNAP!"

Stephen shudders for some reason, then crawls into a cupboard.

"Everyone, stay calm!" Bruce says taking a deep breath.

"I AM TRAINED!" Scott screams, jumping up from the soaking wet floor, making a run for Ned

"NO, SCAT SCOTT! GET OUTTA HERE!" Sam pulls Scott's leg back, sending Scott crashing to the ground.

"But, but, I'm trained."

"Your skills aren't welcome here!"

Scott whimpers, clearly hurt by Sam's harsh words.

"Yeah no!"

"Ned! Are you okay?" I kneel beside his lifeless body.

How could this happen.

"HE'S BEEN CONTAMINATED!" Clint screams pointing to the clementine.

Thor crashes to the ground. "HE WAS TOO YOUNG TO DIE!"

"Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die, far too young to die"

Loki appears beside me, and puts a arm around my shoulder. "I'm so sorry little one."

Steve rushes over, "I missed it, what happened? Is Ned okay? He died? What happened? How did that happen?? What can I do? How can I help? Oh no? What's going on? I can't believe I zone out for one second then our son's best friend dies! Oh Peter I'm so sorry, you don't deserve this neither did Ned."

"OH shut up Steve!"

"Okay WHAT IS GOING ON?" Tony shouts, dropping his dodge balls.

"I DON'T KNOW! ASK HIM!" Pietro points to Thor.

The fire alarm starts blaring and the sprinkler goes on.

As if we weren't soaked enough.

"Everyone calm down!" Pepper bangs a pot against the sink.

"Did, I... miss something?" Nat walks in with Thai food, I didn't realize she left.

"NED! HE'S GONE!"

"HE DIDN'T DIE, HE IS LITERALLY BREATHING!"

"WHAT?!"

Nat closes her eyes and shakes her head, "Well the Thai food's here already."

"FOOD!"

Ned is momentarily forgotten as half my family rushes to the Thai food.

"Did you say, Thai food?" Stephen peeks his head out the cupboard curiously.

"NOT FOR YOU, YOU TRAITOR!" Tony whips three dodge balls at the cupboard as Stephen quickly closes the door.

"Can someone please explain what's going on?"

"Ned, are you awake yet?" I whisper to him.

"Stephen - ughh! He could have used his stupid portals but NO he made us struggle. We wasted so much time moving all the- we got two speeding tickets! Clint crashed a tractor and we all almost died because of Thor's driving-" Tony  stops his mini rant and whips another dodgeball at the cupboard.

"THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?" Stephen shouts back.

"WHAT DID YOU THINK THIS WAS ABOUT?"

"I don't think I want to tell you!"

"I was talking about the Ned situation but, not cool, Stephen, not cool."

Suddenly, Ned's eyes flicker open.

"Am I... dead?" Ned asks slowly.

"HE'S ALIVE!"

"NED!!!!!!!!!!!"

"HE LIVED!"

"HE IS NOT DEAD!"

"BEST DAY OF MY LIFE"

"I had the best dream ever, Captain flipping America asked me to stay for lunch, and I got to hear the Tony Stark say poo, AND Thor knew my name, urgh it was amaz- WAIT PETER?"

There's a few chuckles and he stops talking.

"Ned! You're awake, you got hit but you're going to be okay." I comfort him.

"I took a bullet for you?!" Ned gasps.

"Uh.. no.. though I'm honoured you'd take a bullet for me,"

"What did I get hit by then?"

"THE MOULDY CLEMENTINE!" Clint squeals.

"The Thai food is getting cold!"

"Some one move the clementine!"

For some reason the music playing has changed to Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb.

In a flash, the clementine is flying across the room.

Everything goes to slow motion.

People scream in horror.

Clint ducks.

Pietro screeches.

Bruce puts on his glasses.

Thor clutches his poptart and protects Bear Bear.

Loki sips from his wine glass.

Scott wipes his eyes.

Nat rolls her eyes.

Pepper shields herself with the pan.

Wanda uses magic to protect herself.

I watch as the clementine flies back and forth.

Then I watch in horror as in the distance someone walks out the elevator doors.

"CLINT THIS IS FOR YOU!"

Pietro dives in front of Clint and smacks the clementine with a bunch of broccoli.

Screams continue to fill the air as the clementine hits the ceiling.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"wHaAaAaT?!"

"Why Pietro!"

Ned continues to watch in a state of utter confusion and awe.

"It's just a clementine!'

"Calm down"

"You calm down!"

"A MOULDY CLEMENTINE!"

"Someone just throw it out! It's not that hard."

"You throw it out then CLINTON!

Clint makes a vomiting noise in response.

"The THAI FOOD IS GETTING COLD!"

"This is getting out of hand, we're acting like children."

"Are you sure this isn't a dream?" Ned whispers to me, in shock.

"Just the average day at the Tower." I shake my head.

"And I say I still believe in heroes." A voice I don't recognize sighs.
