The spider, the witch and the wakandan
The rest of the team were watching the exchange anxiously from the other side of the one sided glass. To all of them but Wanda and Shuri, they thought seemed that Spider-man and Tony were about to fight from the way they were staring at each other. Wanda and Shuri however, were trying and failing to contain their laughs. This confused the team but they just passed it off as millenial jokes that they wouldn't understand.
In reality, Wanda was listening to the spider-man's thoughts and repeating them quietly to Shuri. They couldn't believe that this 'dangerous man' as Fury called him, was so damn funny. What really shocked them was how much of a fanboy he was.
As soon as Spider-man thought about vines and memes, Wanda and Shuri exchanged a look. The Scarlet Witch didn't need to use her telepathy to know what the look implied. They needed to see this boy.
As soon as Tony entered their watch room, all the Avengers let one another know just how much they disliked this man.
"He's just trying to aggravate you. Don't listen to him," Steve said reasuringly.
Wanda and Shuri knew better but they wanted to meet this potential friend before letting the Avengers know anything. They opted to ignore the shouts of protest from the Avengers as they raced into the room containing 'New York's Menace.'
As soon as they stepped into the room, the excited energy in both of the girls turned into fear. This guy was supposedly out of control and a very powerful man. They slowed their walk toward him grabbing the two other chairs in the room.
Just then, Wanda could hear this man's thoughts but she wasn't doing it on purpose. It seemed almost natural to check out Spider-man's thoughts. Any regret Wanda felt washed away with his voice filling her head.
'So, can everyone here just make a chair appear? Dang it, is this some sort of superhero requirement? Do they practice it in superhero training? Can Deadpool do it too? Or Daredevil? Damn, you've been doing this for how long? God dammit Parker, get your head in the superhero game. Learn how to make a chair appear and then they will rescue you. Right? So do I just move my hand up and down and wait? Oh no, that looked stupid. Good going dude, you just embarrassed yourself in front of the Scarlet Witch and the Princess of Wakanda. What, are you trying to work through all of the Avengers? Oh shit, the Princess is talking.'
Wanda turned to her friend and realised that yes, Shuri had been talking. Now there was silence so Wanda assumed that it was a question. Spider-man seemed to aswel.
"Uhh yes?" he replied hopefully.
Wanda couldn't seem to stop her smile but she was trying her best to cover up her laugh with a cough. Suddenly she was hunched over, laughing with tears in her eyes.
Shuri must have understood as she whispered ever so quietly “what is this man thinking now?”
Spider-man shouldn’t have been able to hear this but somehow he did. “You can hear my thoughts?” He asked Wanda.
Wanda was waiting for the outburst. The look of disgust or at least have him not look at her anymore. The other Avengers always told her how never to read others thoughts. What came next was not what she was expecting at all.
“That’s so cool!” The menace exclaimed. “Can you read more than one person’s thoughts at the same time? How far away can you be from the person? You are so awesome! N- My friend is going to freak out when he hears about this” he stopped his rant abruptly.
“So you guys know who I am I guess?” He asked in defeat.
Wanda thought back trying to think of what he had thought about. “Parker?” She asked curiously, any fear of this man was gone.
He huffed out a little laugh. “Yeah, sure.” Suddenly all the amusement was gone out of his voice. “Umm would it be okay if you didn’t look in my head” he glanced up from the floor and hastily added “Not that it’s not really cool because it’s awesome it’s just I’ve got a family that I’d like to protect you know?”
Wanda nodded and turned to Shuri who looked just as confused as she felt. This man really seemed really harmless. Maybe Fury had got it wrong.
There was an awkward pause for a bit before Shuri took the opportunity to test his vine knowledge.
“How did you take down Captain America?”
The spider answered without any hesitation, “We shot him in de legs cause his shield iz de size of a dinner plate and he iz an idiot”
The three broke down into fits of laughter. Shuri points at a wall where the Avengers were watching them from.
“Can we keep him? Please?!”
A very unhappy looking Captain walked into the room and dragged the two girls out while they were still hunched over giggling.
As soon as the door closed, Peter realized that he never asked them who the bad guys were.
