Well this is awkward...
Who: Little One & Peter
When: Day 14
Where: Dressing car
What: Little One has some questions to ask
warnings: The Talktm of The Birds and the Bees. And general awkwardness that comes with
He didn't get a new book this time-choosing instead to get one from the makeshift library. As he normally does this time of day on the train, Peter's sprawled out in his webhammock, one leg hanging over the edge and reading a mystery novel that's actually pretty decent thus far. He's about half way through it, his laptop is somewhere near by playing this song. It's probably better if no one asks why.
He's not paying too close attention to the lyrics but he does seem to be mouthing a few of the words as his foot bounces and he turns the page. Man, he really wishes he could get some head phones. He hears someone approach and sits up in his hammock, to see who it is.

She had never been told that? Were light addled told that? She didn't think so. It was a grown up thing for sure but it wasn't a thing the light found evil like murder or theft.
"So having children do be being a bad thing where you do be coming from?" But Tony had a daughter and he as a hero of light.
But if it was considered a bad thing then that at least explained why Peter was so awkward about it.
no subject
"Um, basically it's bad if you're a kid but if you're an adult no one really cares and the way they teach it in schools and stuff is kinda backwards and kinda really degrading." He takes a breath.
"It's just a really complicated subject and kinda really uncomfortable for me, especially."
no subject
In another way it seemed like yet another thing Peter was super weird about so maybe he was the worst person to have asked. But it's not like she had known. She shrugged.
"Okay. I will no be asking any more about it."
Even if she still thought that the whole thing was implausible. Sex making babies. One of the weirdest things she's ever heard and she lives on a train that travels through a multicoloured void to different worlds.
no subject
He takes another deep breath and sits up again. "Um.. so listen-uh.. if anyone tries to force you to do something like that-you should stab them okay? Something happened to me back when I was just a year younger then you and I didn't understand back then-and I just-if I had then maybe..." He shake his head. "Just, promise me you'll stab anyone that tries to get too close, okay?"
cw: general talk of sexual assault etc also threats of graphic violence
She wrinkled her nose and her frown deepened. Something had happened to him? That was bad. She can guess from context what he meant. "I do be knowing that." She said softly. "Taiwin did be giving me that talk already."
She tilted her head. "He did be saying that if anyone ever did be trying to be touching me under where my clothes do be being then I should be biting them and kicking them and stabbing their eyes out and no guard would ever be blaming me for that."
Peter probably had not even had a knife when he was younger than she was.
general talk of sexual assault etc also threats of graphic violence
"Yeah, do that-do exactly that. You deserve so much better than that. It doesn't matter who it is-or what they claim their reason is-if you're uncomfortable then do what you have to. The person who... did... that to me was a friend-or I thought he was and so I was too scared to move and just let it happen-and now I can't sleep at night because even now-six years later I'm so afraid I'll have nightmares about it-I do still have nightmares. And I don't want you to have to go through that ever-I don't want anyone to have to go through that, but especially you, okay?"
cw: general talk of sexual assault etc
She's angry though, the person who did that should be stabbed. Peter hadn't been able to stab them at the time, maybe if he had then he wouldn't be having nightmares now.
"No one will be hurting me Peter. I will be stabbing anyone who do be trying. And I will be stabbing anyone who do be hurting you too. If anyone do be trying to be doing that to you again I will be stabbing them and killing them so they can no be hurting you."
Because she was his friend.

At one point he did like Skip, he liked him a lot and used to look up to him like one might a brother and it's complicated because while he's still mad and never wants to see Skip again, he doesn't think he hates him even if he should. Rather than voice his inner conflict to an Eleven year old, he just smiles and lets out a breath.
"You are one Fierce friend, you know that?" He asks her. "That's a good thing-I mean there's nothing I wouldn't do to keep my friends and family safe."
Re: cw: general talk of sexual assault etc
"That do be being because you do be being a good friend too." She smiled at him gently and fell silent. She has an awful lot to think about.

"Wanna see something cool?" He offers, pulling up his recorded videos and quickly hunting down a specific one.
no subject
She nodded, she always was happy to see cool things. Even if they were inevitably confusing. She moved so she was sat closer to him and could see the screen as the video started.
A film by Peter Parker. He had made a film? A movie? They were two words for the same thing.
There was a big ball in some trees. And things going past glass very fast. When her eyes focused enough she recognised them as cars. She had seen them on the snow world. But she had seen no giant balls in trees before. New York was where he lived and Queen? There was a queen?
Then the image changed and it was the back of a head, there were more cars. They were in a car? And it was Happy. She recognised the voice. He was telling Peter he couldn't show the video to anyone. Did that mean Peter was breaking the rules right now? Was he going to get grounded again? She glanced at him, but the video shifted again and caught her attention.
They were moving towards a... What was that? Transport of some kind. With wings. Probably flew. A space craft? Peter was rambling about a bathroom and then they were inside the transport that had no pilot but apparently that was a good thing?
It looks very fancy. Apparently it was a private plane and it was Peter's first time on a plane. Was this from a long time ago? He didn't look too much younger but he had said he had been in space so maybe he had made this before that.
He sounded nervous. Happy didn't seem... well happy with him. But he dealt with it mostly through ignoring him. He might be basically a fancy weird-world version of Taiwin but he had a lot less of a temper. Especially when Peter snuck up on him. She would never have gotten away with that. She would never have dared.
Then the scenes changed quickly, people and buildings and horses on rooftops and shaking and Peter still talking about not knowing why he was in Berlin and that Captain America had gone crazy. She knew Captain America, Peter had spoken about him before. Wasn't he a hero of light from his world? How had he gone crazy.
Then he was in his spider clothes, except different. And wrong. Apparently. More talking. More Happy being far more patient than any handler she had ever known. Not even the most pampered noble children she had seen on her missions would get away with being so... Like Peter. There weren't even words for what he was. She sighed.
But he found the case and a note and his suit. More like his real suit now. He sounded impressed. She guessed T.S was Tony Stark. He made the suit. She already knew that so it didn't take much to figure out.
She rolled her eyes when Peter asked if it was for him. Happy wasn't a spider person. There was no one else in the room. Of course mister Stark would want him to have the best things for the mission. If Tony was giving him the suit was this his first mission for him. She would hope this was his first mission. He sounds too stupid for it not to be.
But then again... She glanced at Peter again.
Oh different view. Now some people too far to see but Peter gives them names Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man. The last is mister Stark. She knows that as well.
Then he jumped and there was lots of movement and then... Wait he was filming in the middle of fighting? Was that allowed? Was that normal in his world?
And why was there a giant man?
Peter talking very fast, very excited and then Happy telling him to be quiet. Then mister Stark. Asking about the video. Peter sounding almost well behaved and respectful for a moment. They were making a video for May? Why did it matter what she was wearing? She got the feeling Tony had said something stupid from Peter's face and Tony's laugh.
Then they started again and Peter looked very nervous as Tony spoke. They were lying. To his aunt. So this was long ago, before she knew he was spider man. They were talking about an internship.
Then there was a loud noise and shouting from Happy and then mister Stark started saying about how Happy wanted to be asset manager. So this was a long time ago because he was asset manager now. Peter had told her that.
Happy wasn't happy about Mister Stark saying it, but he sounded sad rather than angry. In fact it seemed that he wasn't angry ever, just a bit disgruntled always. The image shook again and Happy grumpily went to get the case.
Peter sounded so amazed at getting to keep his suit. She smiled a little bit, it was a long time ago she thought. He seemed nervous around Tony in a way he wasn't here and he was clearly still trying to prove himself.
Mister Stark was telling him to not stress Happy out. Peter sounded very serious as he answered yes. So serious in face that the image showed the roof of the car and then the video stopped altogether, the screen going dark.
She glanced at Peter. "That did be being your first mission, yes?"
no subject
"Yeah, my first mission with the Avengers. It was awesome-there are other videos I took too-apparently I rescued the chancellor of Germany? That was cool. Happy was not happy with me but like, he rarely is to be honest. but we have a kind of understanding-I think. At least now we do-I'm pretty sure he hated me at first. And then this whole thing happened and Mr Stark got mad and took my suit-and uh-it's kinda a long story but if you want, I can tell you all about the Vulture?"
no subject
She lay back in the hammock, "All your stories do be being long, Peter." She pointed out. But she was happy to listen. She knew he would talk forever if she let him but she had nothing better to do right now.
She could listen to him talking about fighting a vulture.
