A Week with Red Team Chapter 3 Angst

"I'm reeeally sorry!"

"Shut up, Wade!"

"It was a complete accident!"

"Seven times in a row?"

"The zombies weren't so bad."

"They smelt absolutely foul."

"They didn't look too pretty either."

"But they didn't hurt us that much. And you, Matty, you were able to talk Cap out of arresting us."

"Arresting me and Peter."

"Glad we got out of that place, evil-me sounds terrifying."

"And getting caught up in the War of Independence, that was fun."

"Under whose definition?"

"Not mine. I nearly got hit by a cannonball."

"From a war historian's point of view."

"And the one after that-"

"Wade, go away."

"What?"

"Baby boy and sexy devil hate me."

\After the mess we landed them in? Yeah, they hate us./

-It was just a little bitty accident.-

\Seven 'little bitty accidents' in a row? Tends to indicate either carelessness or maliciousness. So they hate us./

"I want my sexy devil and my baby boy."

"I'm getting too old for this, Matty," Peter whined.

"You're only twenty. How are you too old?" Matt held still while Peter stitched up a gash on the back of his leg.

"Five years, and I've seen waaay too much," Peter moaned. "Fighting angry Maori warriors is my limit. I quit."

"The web on your back's dissolved," Matt noted. "Roll on your stomach and I'll clean you up."

"Thanks." Peter tied off the thread, then pulled off his ruined shirt.

"You have a point," Matt said. "Wade can be fun, but when he pulls a stunt like this? It's just unreasonable."

"I just want a plain, boring, semi-normal life," Peter explained. "Class, pics for the Bugle, crime fighting, maybe a bit of snuggling with a boyfriend or two. Is that too much to ask?"

AN: I'm not great at writing angst, because I have this unwavering belief that if you're going to write a fiction, you might as well include the fiction that good people usually have happy endings. It will not surprise you to know that I do not follow Game of Thrones.

More tomorrow. I actually managed to get something else written today, but it wasn't a full chapter, so...yeah, still working.

See ya.
