Wrong number :/~~Spider-Man

I have not read this chapter yet

She looked down, the machinery whirring in her head being the only thing heard from the two normal people as she thought.

"I.. apologize" she said after a moment, "I was in fear that we were in danger. I did not mean to.. harm you" she sheathed the knife, facing Bucky so she wouldn't have to face embarrassment.

"Uh.. yeah, don't sweat it" Peter didn't want her to feel guilty at all, it made him feel bad, "I'd probably be creeped out if some random kid was climbing on the wall next to someone I knew too. We cool" he tried shoving it down with humor, rubbing his hands on his pants.

Nebula's eyes were bouncing off of every surface in the room while she reflected on the past minute. She could've killed the kid. If he wasn't so weirdly tough, and she wasn't driven for an interrogation, he would've been dead meat.

Speaking of, why was a human kid able to beat her, in hand-to-hand combat of all things.

"You know he can climb on walls?" She turned to Tony, less of a question, but more of an opening to clarify.

"Yeah" Tony said, throwing his arm around Peter with his other hand on his reactor, "the kid's like us", he patted it, using his lessened distance from Peter to subtly try and spot any nicks he could've gotten in the chase. He didn't really see what happened.

"Where did he come from?" She asked, looking back to Bucky as if he'd know something, partially in assumption that it was some weird assassin training test again.

They've had wayy to many people on this team created by lab experiments. One more and she might just add scientists to her list of creatures to wipe out if anyone took control of the planet, just so she could hide the fact that it was her who killed them duding the wars.

She vetoed that option when she remembered, according to the magazine Tony let her borrow, scientists made limbs for people and were discovering how to edit genes. She wanted to see that happen.

Maybe just the bad scientists.

"You're that.. spider guy, aren't you" Bucky squinted at Peter, having seen the vigilante on the news quite a bit that week, "your stories always interrupt my cable shows".

"Sorry" Peter rubbed the back of his neck.

"Spider-dude?" Nebula looked between the adults for clarification, "now we have two insect controlling children on the team??".

"Scott isn't a kid" Bucky corrected, "and I don't think he can do that. Just.. creepy crawly"

Peter tilted his head and squinted.

"What do you mean by 'creepy crawly'?" He asked in a dangerous tone, "I am a very charming dude in that suit".

"I mean, you crawl all over the place! The amount of bird shit—"

"Language" Tony interjected, giving all the veteran members a joke about Steve's righteousness.

"—whatever. I cannot imagine how your hands aren't white with poop dust after sitting on the edge of buildings all day. Not to mention, where do you get your water intake while you're out there? Just a singular one of those swings would have anyone parched, and I don't see you with a backpack of water out there. That can't be healthy" Bucky had clearly thought about this a lot, as if he was ready to nit-pick Peter's alter ego from day one. Tony took a double take on the water thing, making a mental note to address that later.
