Disclaimer ~ I do not own the Avengers
Prompt: On your left
They were running laps in gym class today. Well, running was stretching it. As long as you weren't standing around, then you'd be fine. So Peter, Ned, and MJ were walking laps around the school's track field instead.
Peter was on his sixth lap when he felt his phone start to vibrate. Miraculously it was still on silent. Harley had hacked his phone and changed all his ringtones to ridiculous songs. Peter hadn't had the chance to undo the damage, but he would when he went to the tower after school. Until then, he would keep his phone on silent.
Peter knew that he didn't have to answer the call. He could just decline the call and be done with it, but the last time he ignored a call from Sam, the man pouted about it for a week. And since Ned and MJ were with him, Peter would put the call on speaker to be nice. They both enjoyed listening to the chaos that was Peter getting calls from the Avengers, if for no other reason than to tease Peter later.
"Hey Sam," Peter greeted.
"I need your help," Sam said immediately. His serious tone had Peter tensing up. A million scenarios started running through his mind.
"What happened?" Peter asked, worried. A glance to either side of him told Peter that both his friends were already planning excuses for Peter to sneak away. Peter loved them for it.
"I'll tell you what happened!" Sam exclaimed, his voice filled with rage. "I am sick and tired of Steve doing his mocking 'on your left' bullshit! I want him to get a taste of how it feels! But Barnes openly supports it, and T'Challa turned me down when I asked him. You are the only one left that is faster than that walking fossil!" Sam shouted. Peter winced at the volume. He was pretty sure Ned and MJ could have heard that clearly, even without it being on speaker.
"Sorry but what do you want me to do?" Peter asked, hesitantly. Sam wasn't making any sense at the moment.
"I need you to shout 'on your left' to Steve when he's jogging tomorrow," Sam said, thankfully calmer than before. Peter knew by his tone that the man was completely serious. Peter was unimpressed.
"That's your emergency? Really?"
"Yes! So will you help me? Please Peter. You're my only hope," Sam begged. Peter felt his resolve crumble.
"I guess I can try. But I have school tomorrow and if I'm late, Aunt May will have my head."
"That's alright. He starts his jog at like six so you can get him on the way to school."
"But Mr. Wilson!" Peter protested. "It takes an hour to get to...He hung up," Peter sighed, defeated.
"I'll bring you a coffee in the morning," MJ told him. Peter shot her a grateful smile. He loved his friends.
Did not intend to wait this long before I posted anything. I'll be completely honest, I got caught up watching an anime and completely forgot to work on any of my fics. But at least it wasn't too much of a wait.
I have one more chapter that I want to post today, which will be for a new fic. I just have to type it up and then it'll be ready. If all goes well, I'll have it posted in a couple hours max. Until then, I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Please Review, Follow, and Favorite!
