They were invested in a fight with a guy who had eight robotic arms, plus his two flesh arms. He was pretty tricky to trap, so Peter was getting frustrated, along with everyone else. Tony, Steve, Wanda, Sam, Bucky, T'Challa, and Shuri. Shuri and Peter were sticking together, and the others were doing their own things. Peter was trying to tackle one of the arms, when another came and smacked him into some crates in the alleyway.
"Oof! That hurt like a buttcheek on a stick!" Peter and Shuri started dying of laughter, even though it hurt Peter's ribs. T'Challa sighed, already knowing where this is going. An arm was aiming for Shuri, so Peter dove and tackled her out of the way.
"Hey! You almost made me drop my croissant!" By that time all other Avengers were confused, to say the least, and Peter and Shuri were rolling on the ground, laughing.
"I'm going to squash that little bug!" One of the villain's arms was webbed to the wall.
"Whatdidshesayyyyy?" Peter responded with another one of his own. He could barely stand up from his laughter as he and Shuri supported each other. All fighting stopped, and everyone turned to look at them. "Hey, Shuri, give me a boost!" She nodded, and as Peter was running, she added,
"Do a flip!" Peter almost missed her hands she was holding out for a boost by laughing so hard. Amidst the confusion of the villain, Peter tackled one of the arms, and successfully disconnecting it from the villain.
"Aw, what a beautiful snek!" Shuri ran over, and inspected the arm.
"Such a cute snek!" Peter and Shuri shared one look and burst into laughter.
"Snek!"
"Snek!"
"Snek!" Peter and Shuri jumped up at the same time, and Peter saw a way to defeat the cyborg-villain guy. He webbed a nearby sign, and flung it towards Shuri. "Road work ahead?" Shuri laughed.
"I sure hope it does!" She used some special tech gloves that give her more strength, and launched the sign at the villain. The villain was disoriented, so Peter and Shuri used this time to take out the other arms, and throw them in a pile.
"LOOK AT ALL THOSE CHICKENS!" They were barely able to contain their laughter.
The Avengers were so confused. Peter and Shuri were on the floor, collapsed from laughter. Shuri gasped. "I CANT BELIEVE THAT WORKED!" She burst into a fit of laughter. Peter grinned through his laughter.
"Communication through Vines is always the way to go." They shared a knowing look.
"Do you know the way?" They spoke at the exact same time, then dissolved into laughter again. T'Challa sighed.
"I was worried about this once they met," he mumbled to the others. They nodded, now scared for their own well-being, clearly noting that Peter and Shuri were not a force to be reckoned with.
"They... they took down a super villain with memes," Steve pointed out, with a grin. The others grinned, too. Maybe they should partner up Shuri and Peter more often.
When they looked back, Shuri and Peter were back to admiring the "snek."
"Guys, it's a snake, not a 'snek,'" Tony was done with them. "Plus, it's not even a snake! It's a robotic arm." The two looked over at him, then started speaking gibberish to each other and grinned. They looked at him once more, and Shuri slowly stood up.
"Snek," she said innocently. Tony shook his head, and Peter stood up with the arm.
"Snek." Tony shook his head at their antics, and gave up, walking back to the quinjet with the others, while the "Terrible Twins," or what Clint had named them, dragged the massive metal arm over to them. Tony shook his head.
"Nope, uh-uh, you can't bring that home!" The two stared at him blankly, slightly creepily.

And that's how they ended up with a giant robotic arm strapped to Peter's back that he can now control, and uses it to steal food from other peoples' plates.
