It took several weeks for Prompto to be back swinging around town. Apparently along with all his other cool new powers, fast healing was among them. Despite the obvious quick recovery, Ignis still insisted he stay down longer than he personally thought he needed to.
The moment the Advisor had gotten too preoccupied with looking over some documents and marking areas to reread for Noctis, Prompto was dressed and out the window.
Even though he had told Gladio and Ignis that he would tell Noctis the truth the opportunity never seem to come up. The Prince and he had apologized to each other at school the other day and things were back to normal on that front. Prompto also had told him no more lying.
Which is how he had intended to lead into the whole: "Hey Noct, guess who is the friendly neighborhood web-slinger?"
But they had been interrupted by a phone call from the Citadel.
And there hadn't been another good chance since then.
Now he was just finishing 'tying up' a bank robber case that had just been too easy and fun. As he was landing on top of nearby skyscraper his phone went off.
"Hey-o! Its Prompto!" He answered still in high spirits from the easy capture.
"Hey Prom, would you be interested in joining Glads and I in our training today? I think Ignis is going to be there too for some reason. I don't know. But Gladio said he thought it was about time you joined us."
"About time?" Prompto crouched on his perch overlooking the city below, watching the people swarm about unaware of his presence.
Was this Gladio's way of offering to train him to help out Spider-man? That was too good of an opportunity to pass up!
"Yeah! What time do you guys train?"
"In like fifteen minutes… I know this is really late notice though so its ok if you're a bit late. It takes a half hour alone from your place to walk to the Citadel - "
"Tell that wuss that if he isn't here in ten minutes he's doing arm and leg work for an hour before training even begins." Gladio's voice came through loud and clear.
"I'm on my way!" Prompto yelped stashing his phone away and leaping off the building.
From where he was now the walk would be almost an hour to the Citadel, but that's by foot. By web? Well… he would make it ten minutes.
"Look who made it." Gladio grunted as Prompto tripped ungracefully into the training room.
He had swung through a window on the floor above and stashed his suit and backpack in one of the lockers outside the room. Hopefully the Glaive didn't do check ups on what was in there.
"On time too I might add." He smirked.
Gladio raised an eyebrow but before he could comment Ignis cut in. "Hopefully no traffic laws were broken in your rush."
"How did you even get passed the Kingsglaive outside in under ten minutes?" Noctis asked.
Stuttering for a believable answer Ignis finally sighed answering for him. "I believe Libertus is on duty currently. I will have words with him later."
"Just tell Nyx. He'll get him back in to shape." Noctis muttered.
Prompto hid his smirk and hurried over to one of the mats to stretch before they began.
A couple weeks ago he'd heard the story of how Gladio had got caught up in a meeting with his father and he'd assigned Nyx to handle the Prince's training for the day. Apparently the Glaive was just as ruthless as the Shield when it came to the importance of training properly.
"Nyx asked the other day if you wanted another lesson on warping." Gladio suddenly remembered. "He said that you really needed the practice."
"I hate warping…" Noctis groaned. "It makes my stomach queasy."
"That would likely be because you are doing it incorrectly." Ignis pointed out.
"You should do it Noct! I saw that demonstration that they had a few months ago. If you could warp like that then you wouldn't have to worry about getting jumped by anyone ever gain!"
"Not necessarily true, but it would certainly help." Ignis agreed.
"It would make protecting you easier for me," Gladio said. "And for the Spider-punk."
Prompto rolled his eyes at the clear jab to him.
"We should try to invite Spider-man to the Citadel for a thank-you or something, he was amazing. I wouldn't mind meeting him again at all." Noctis mused. "You could get some close-up pictures too Prom."
"Uh… I'm good thanks." The blonde looked away his face red.
Noctis gave him a confused look, but before he could ask further Gladio began the training session.
