My Hero

"So... Hungry!" Whimpered Todd as he flopped down on the couch grabbing his stomach in over dramatized pain.

"Stop your complaining wart!" Pietro snapped. "We're all hungry! Well, except the Big guy!"

Pietro, Wanda, Todd and Lance glared over in Fred's direction. He wore an innocent smile on his face as he shrugged. "I was hungry!" Was his only defence.

Lance rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath. "You're always hungry!" He growled. "Now we all get to be hungry."

Todd hopped onto the back of Pietro's chair, resting his head on the top of Pietro's head. "Aren't you supposed to be gettin money from your dad to pay for this stuff, Yo?" He asked, earning himself a push off the couch.

"Not for a couple weeks wart!" Pietro stated.

Wanda rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Would you babies stop complaining?" He demanded. "You sound like little girls!"

The room fell silent as they all stewed in their own self pity at the situation... Except for Freddy who was looking mighty pleased with himself. Todd looked at each of them, bored to sin of not having anything to eat or do. "Anyone wanna watch TV?" He asked optimistically.

"We still don't get any channels." Pietro exclaimed.

"How about a movie?" Todd asked once again.

"VCR is busted." Lance commented.

Todd sat and thought for a second before hoping to the bookshelf, putting a dorky smile on. "Story time anyone?!" He asked optimistically.

"Don't be an idiot Toad." Wanda retorted.

Todd just laughed as he pulled a particularly heavy volume off the shelf. "Aw come on Dawgs! It'll take our minds off of bein hungry!" He stated.

"So would punching you in the face!" Wanda grumbled under her breath.

Todd gave her a loving glare as he hopped back to his perch on the back of Pietro's chair. Upon looking down at Pietro's head, Todd noticed something sitting there. "Yo, Man! Don't move!" He stated. "You've got the biggest spider I've ever seen on your head!"

To all of their surprise, Pietro didn't listen to Todd, immediately jumping from his seat with a girlish scream. "Get it OFF!" He screamed, his eyes wide with terror. "I hate spiders!"

At his reaction, the group burst out in laughter. But Pietro didn't seem to find their joking funny in the least bit. He stood there in the middle of the room, his hands raised slightly, his whole body was rigid with fear. "Someone get it off of me!" He pleaded.

"Oh, this is too funny!" Lance laughed, watching as Pietro started zipping back and forth attempting to dislodge the spider from his head.

ZIP! "Is it gone?" He asked.

"Nope." Wanda stated with a smile.

ZIP! "Now?"

"Still there man!" Lance laughed.

ZIP! "Now?!"

"You wish." Freddy snickered.

ZIP! ZIP! ZIP! "Common guys!!! This isn't funny!" He pleaded.

"Yes it is!" Lance pointed out.

ZIP! FLICK SPLAT!

Pietro, Wanda, Lance and Freddy all froze in shock as Todd's tongue retracted back into his mouth, spider and all. They're jaws were dropped and their eyes were wide, Pietro wore a look as if he had just been hit with something disgusting, as Todd chewed the spider and swallowed, finally turning to look at their shocked faces. "What?!" Todd asked. "I said I was hungry, Yo!! And I saved Pietro from the big bad spider!"

"Aww! So true!" Lance said, leaning on a very unhappy Pietro. "Doesn't he get a thank you?"

Pietro gritted his teeth and crossed his arms, scowling at Todd. "My hero." He snarled.
