Leo Valdez befriends Peter Parker

Mochi Hiii :P

////

^^^LEO P.O.V^^^^^

Leo smiled happily to himself as he walked home from his first day.

Peter seemed like a decent guy, he has some stand-up-for-yourself issues but that’s alright.

Tonight, camp had capture the flag going for them, and Nico was going to shadow travel Leo from his approach to camp so that he could join in on the fun.

So that meant that Leo better-not-be-late, unless he wants an impatient Nico in his apparent- which he very much does not want.

Last time he kept Nico waiting, he arrived at his appointment to find Nico playing with his kitchen knives as if they were merely dull butter knives. (They were, in fact not dull, why the heck would Leo keep dull knives that weren’t made to be dull? He’s Leo-freaking-Valdez, of course the knives would be unnecessarily sharp) . Suffice to say, Leo had a mini heart attack when Nico dropped the knife next to his bare foot when he startled as Leo entered the room he was in while playing with kitchenware.

He did NOT need a repeat of that.

^^^^PETER P.O.V^^^^^^

Peter happily jogged to Happy’s car after he left the school.

He made a new friend! And as Peter Parker too! Crazy, HE KNOWS!

“Hey Happy” Peter cheerfully greeted as he entered the Stark brand car.

Happy merely grunted his greeting before driving off to the avengers compound, where Peter would spend the evening (and probably an unhealthy amount of the night, much to Pepper’s dismay) with Tony in the lab.

******Next Day*******

^^^PETER P.O.V.^^^^^

Peter decided to text Leo and see how his time with his friends went yesterday while he was being driven to school, after all Happy wasn’t real big on small talk.

Legos_R-fun>ooh yah, that sounds good. Mj should be here today, she wasn’t yesterday tho so you haven’t met her yet

BadBoiSupreme>oooh sure, sounds fun

****

Peter put his phone away as he sighted Leo at the school entrance. Ned was already with Leo and Mj was surely already in the building.

Waving ‘hello’, Peter met up with the group and they made their way to their respective classes.

—
By the time school was over, Peter was ready for that caffeine. (Though it wouldn’t do much with his enhanced metabolism sadly)

Throughout the day, Leo and Mj had gotten to know each other somewhat.

And if Peter was jealous on how easy Leo could speak to Mj without making a fool of himself, no one had to know.

The four of them were all going to go to the café together after school, but they had forgotten that Leo had to stay later than them because of detention, and Ned had somewhere to be and couldn’t wait for Leo to finish detention before going to the café.

Finally, detention finished and Leo was released from his prison.

“To the café!” Leo shouted with an arm raised over his head as he ran towards Peter and Mj, who were kindly waiting for him.

Peter laughed as he agreed.

“To the café!”

Just as Peter, who was in the lead, started to cross the road when the traffic got a red light, a huge truck ran the light and the next thing Peter knew was that he was flat on his back on the pavement, after being quite literally ran over.

——

^^^^^^LEO P.O.V^^^^^

Leo was excited for the café.

Leo was not expecting his new friend to just get run over by a careless truck driver.

Peter had gotten hit straight on by a truck going rather fast, definitely fast enough to be classified as speeding.

Now Peter lay on his back on the road.

Leo quickly ran up to Peter, kneeling beside him.

Well, there wasn’t any blood so that was good?

“Hey Peter, you alright?” Leo asked softly, not missing the wince that Peter gave as he tried to sit up.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhh…..y-yah totally fine! Yah, it just grazed me haha” Peter quickly stood up to prove his point.

“That truck did not ‘graze’ you, it full on attacked you!” Leo helped Peter up and walked across the street. Mj had followed along behind him.

Peter was silent for a bit.

“You sure you’e alright? I mean, you did just get hit by a truck” Leo frowned at Peter after he didn’t reply for a bit.

“Oh! Yah I’m totally A-Okay! No bodily harm done!”

Leo wasn’t 100% convinced, but hey. Peter looked fine and wasn’t actively dying, and Leo has seen much weirder things and has learned to just not question it anymore.

“Yeahhhh totally. Anyway, so this café has this really good mocha you have just got to taste!” Leo decided to move on to a different subject, effectively gaining an odd look from Mj and Peter.

^^^PETER P.O.V^^^^^^

Peter literally just got run over by a truck going fast enough to mull a normal human, but he got away with just a few broken ribs. He was also pretty sure he dented that truck petty badly too, so ha! Revenge.

But Leo’s response confused Peter.

Why the freaking heck was he not scared crazy?

Like, he just went, ‘oh my friend just got ran over! Crazy! He bud you all good? Yah? Okay! So about this coffee’ and it confused Peter so much.

How does someone even gain an immunity to this kind of situation to not be alarmed by it?

Wild.

Even Mj looked bemused by Leo’s reaction.

^^^^TONY P.O.V.^^^^^

Tony was casually working in his lab by himself blasting music, when FRIDAY interrupted the peace.

“Program ‘spider-baby-needs-self-preservation-‘ requires me to inform you that Peter has just gained three broken ribs and minor bruising along his midsection and legs.”

FRIDAY has access to a watch Tony had built and given to Peter to keep track of his physical health, because Peter won’t always tell Tony about injuries he gained while patrolling. But that’s not right, Peter should just be getting off school, not patrolling right now!

“I’m sorry, what?”

“Program ‘spid”-

“No no, I heard you just fine FRIADY, no need to repeat yourself. FRIDAY. Call peter.”

—-

^^^^PETER P.O.V.^^^^^

Peter startled as he felt the phone in his pocket buzz.

Without looking at the caller ID, Peter answered.

“Hello?” Peter asked into the device.

“Why hello Peter, would you like to explain to me why the heck you have three broken ribs? You shouldn’t even be patrolling right now!”

Oh, it was Tony..oops

“Uhmmmmmm not particularly” Peter’s voice rose in pitch by the end of his response, making it almost sound like a question.

“Peter” Tony made sure to drawl out his name.

“Okay! But I’m not patrolling!” Peter whispered into the phone.

“Kid, why’re you whispering? Also what the heck?”

“Cuz one of my school friends who doesn’t know about you know is here and we’re going to the café for an after school friend bonding thing butsomoeneranmeoverwithatruckwhentheyranaredlight-“
Peter mumbled. (Translation: but someone ran me over with a truck when they ran a red light)

“I’m sorry, did you just say you got rAn over??!”

“Yeah! The truck totally ran a red light and ran him over as if he wasn’t even there!” Leo spoke from over Peter’s shoulder into the phone,

Craapppp how long was he eavesdropping and how did Peter not notice!

“Uhhh kid, who is that?”

“That’s Leo, a.k.a. The friend Mj and I are going to hang out with. Anyway, we’re here so I’ma go-“

“Kid!”

Peter paused, too polite to hang up.

“Yah?”

“Get those ribs checked. Preferably now.”

“Okay, I’ll get it checked out after the café.

“Peter!-“

The call was cut short when Peter hung up, to be fair he pressed the button before Tony replied so he had thought Tony was done talking. (Not really he knew Tony wouldn’t just let up but shhhh)

(I didn’t really feel like writing the café scene, however if you want one just comment and I’ll try)

^^^^^TONY P.O.V.^^^^

“This kid-“

FRIDAY: “boss, I recommend you slow your breathing down as to not cause a panic attack”
