A Week With Red Team Chapter 1 Daily Life
"Hey, baby boy, the jury's back!"
Peter jerked his head up as Wade's elbow impacted his abdomen. The science journal he'd been reading fell to the floor.
"Thanks very much Wade," he hissed. "You know the library hates it when these are returned all ruffled. Or with footprints. Or taco sauce."
"Court to order," the judge announced. Peter listened to her go through the proper rituals for receiving a verdict, but focussed on the defence attorney.
"We find in favour of the defence."
Peter only just got his hand over Wade's mouth in time to contain the whoop of victory. "Calm down, or we'll get thrown out. Again," he hissed, but he was grinning widely.
Peter picked up his journal, and packed it away in his bag. He'd brought a supply with him because there was no telling how long the jury would take in their deliberations. It was good that they'd made the right decision. Because the defence attorney only defended the innocent.
Said lawyer paused as he passed them on the way out. "Please don't cause any more chaos in my court rooms," he begged.
Peter kept grinning. "You know us, Matt."
"That's what I'm afraid of," Matt Murdock smirked.
Wade let out a mock gasp of horror. "Don't you trust us?"
"This is the sixth time you've come to see me win a case, and of the last five times, twice you were thrown out, and the other three, Peter had to drag you out, Wade, before you got thrown out. And I'm fairly sure you've tried to sneak in to watch me enough times to be on the security guys' radar as a terrorist suspect. You're lucky SHIELD bounces those reports."
"Uh…dinner's on me?" Wade offered. "You, me, baby boy, your bud Foggy and your lovely secretary. Taco Bell."
"Would it be anywhere else?" Matt asked rhetorically. "We'll be there. Give us an hour."
"Just so long as you come," Peter smiled. "We missed your company. Been working so hard." He lowered his voice to a scarcely-audible whisper. "Got something fun on the streets, too. Wade heard a Ranshakov cousin's moving in."
Matt smirked. "I look forward to it."
AN: This is for the Marvel Red Team Week event on Tumblr. My usual stuff is flowing like syrup, so it'll be a little longer. Hopefully it won't be too long.
