[ Peter doesn't sound nearly as cheerful as he normally does this time, instead he sounds subdued and just exhausted. ]

S-so uh...

[ He sucks in a breath and rubs his eyes a moment. ] I guess I'm gonna be in Medical for tonight.

Before anyone starts freaking out-I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm healing-And I'll probably be mostly healed up by tomorrow or in two days at most.

And uh, Buttercup? I know I said I'd help you with that thing you asked about, but I think I may have to push that back a little.

Also, um can someone bring me My DS? I left it in the dressing car and I don't know if I'm allowed to leave just yet.

( Following Peter's gaze, Tony too looks toward the makeshift room, brows knitting. Then he turns again, and dives right back into the conversation. )

Yeah, and ask for backup next time, alright? We're here to help.

[ Peter doesn't respond at first. He doesn't want to give either of them an empty promise and just opts to grab an apple slice from the plate to avoid the subject. ]

I didn't really have time to-I mean I heard-If I'd stopped to call someone for back up, I might have been too late and then there'd have been two dead people.

[ Pepper settles her hands on her waist, sighing deeply through her nose in resignation and frustration. She's already had to squabble over a similar issue with Tony, now Peter? ]

We just don't want you to get hurt. Your heart is in the right place, that's not in question, but that could have ended up really badly.

[ ...They sound kind of like his parents, don't they? ]

Excuse me-- dead people, plural? Did someone die?

( What the fuck, yo. )

[ Yup. Pepper is giving him some serious mom vibes, not that he minds. He just knows though that he's gonna make her worry and he's already feeling guilty about that. Sorry Pepper. ]

[ Tony catches him off guard a little and he glances up at him-wondering if he's been told about the less then permanent nature of Death here. Now might not be the time to mention it. Instead he sucks in a slightly shaky breath and picks as the sleeves of his hoodie. ]

Um, yeah-s-someone uh... k-killed a-another person on-on the train and tried to-to kill s-someone else but I-I stopped them. [ And then got smashed into a wall but honestly he's not worried about that-it's the seeing a dead body-especially one so close in age with him that has him all freaked out right now. Superhero or not-Peter Parker is a teenager and there are still things that he can't just shrug off. ]

...but if I'd been earlier then I could have s-saved the other person too..
