Who: Peter, Aunt May, and open!
What: Peter's hanging out with his Aunt and introducing her to everyone he knows.
When: Day Sixteen
Where: Kitchen/dining car

Peter's probably talked nonstop over the past hour about everything on the train and other stuff too. He's so happy to have his aunt back he doesn't even care about the fact he's in so much trouble. He can live with that. Probably. Until he gets bored anyways. But right now who cares?

"-And then we went to this Mountain where this lady-uh Albany and her kids ran this Inn. It was really nice and I taught the kids how to play the floor is lava and uh freeze tag and stuff. That was fun and their mom made like really bomb pancakes and the best lemonade ever-I mean I know I'm not supposed to drink it and all but ohmygod Aunt May it was the best! Like oh my god, I could never give that up." He rambles from where he's leaning against one of the walls.

"-it was a really weird world though. We were there to pick flowers and herd these bat like things called Dralite-they were really cute, by the way, anyways-we had to like also get rid of this giant gorilla-I'm pretty Mr Stark just like.. shot a repulsor beam at it and pretty much just yote it right off the cliff and like-Mission accomplished. But the goats bit! I tried to move them and one bit me on the stomach and oh my god that sucked." He explains in an energetic way that only he can really manage. "But it's okay-I mean I healed up just fine-not even a scar." He lifts up his shirt to show her no traces of the bit in case she was worried.

"Mr Stark got really mad about it because I kinda tried to talk myself out of getting in trouble and got in more-you know. Yolo." He's still chattering to his Aunt. "And after we left we picked up more people at another station and-Oh sorry" He glances over at Joss and just very calmly slides away from where he's blocking the fridge.

"Have you met my Aunt May? Aunt May, this is Joss. He's also on the purple team with me-I mean I guess that's kinda obvious from the uh hoodies." He pulls at the fabric a little.

"Hello Joss," May says with a smile. "It's good to meet you. Are you friends? I'm always happy to meet friends of Peter," she says shooting him a glass at the mention of trouble. "You're supposed to stay out of trouble Pete."

[Sorry for the late reply! I didn't get the notif.]

Oh. Peter has family, now? Joscelin shouldn't feel as jealous as he does--after all, he came in with his best friend, who is practically family himself. But beneath everything else, Joss is still a child who misses his foster mother. This just doesn't seem very fair.

"He's in trouble all the time," the boy says breezily, afternoon snack all but forgotten. "Stark keeps him on rather a tight leash, but he will insist on flouting the rules." He bows rather elaborately, still smirking. "A pleasure, madam."

He ignores the question about friendship.

It's very rare that the universe or multiverse takes pity on Peter Parker. Typically when a good thing happens it's followed by an even worse thing to balance it out and remind him that the multiverse actively hates him. So he's a little concerned about what the multiverse has in store for him this time.

Peter's lips tighten and his eyes widen as Joss wastes no time telling May that he's been in trouble almost constantly and not following the rules-which he does! Usually!

"I-uh! He's kidding! I'm not in trouble that often!" But he did just admit to getting in trouble more than once. "...uh! I just meant-I-uh... oh man..."

May tries not to laugh at the attempt Peter made to distract her but he was and always would be a horrible liar. "Honestly I'd be more worried if you weren't in trouble all the time," she says. "We will be talking about it though at some point," she adds with a pointed look. He wouldn't get away with it but she wouldn't make him talk about it in front of other people.

Some stuff should stay private.

"So tell me more about what you've been up to on the train," she says instead.

Joscelin feels another irrational surge of jealousy as he watches Peter interact with his aunt. Why does Peter get to be surrounded by family when he isn't? Romeo is the only person here who knows him. Knows the real him, underneath the bad attitude and affected swagger. But Romeo isn't his mum, and there's only so much his best friend can do to soothe that ache.

"Peter's getting into all sorts of messes," he says instead, giving May his most angelically beautiful ten year old smile. Those always work on adults.

"And we all almost died fighting goblins last week. It was rather exciting."

Peter's eyes widen a little more. Dude! Stop trying to throw him under the bus! He twitches a little and glances at May.

"Um! Uh... Parker luck." He offers as though hoping that might explain everything which, to May, It just might.

"I um... I didn't go with team Purple though-Mr Stark wouldn't let me because I'm uh.. out of web fluid. So he made me go with him." He's going to conveniently leave out that whole bit about dragging Buttercup through a Goblin portal with him. He's sure Mr Stark will tell on him for that later.

"Don't worry I'll talk to Peter about it later. For now, I just want to get to know his friends and see what life is like on the train," May says not wanting her nephew to feel to uncomfortable. She would keep this in mind though. Just because she wasn't here wouldn't mean he wouldn't get a talking too. "I'm glad he had someone to look out for him though."
