You and Arthur sat in the couch back in your "home" as you stared at the TV that was just playing static. You slowly looked up and looked at the cardboard cutouts that made up the audience.

Y/N: I won't be able to get used to this.

Arthur: Me neither. Hopefully we can find the tear soon.

You sighed as you sunk deeper into the couch. You looked over to your grandson and raised a brow.

Y/N: Since we aren't doing anything....

Arthur: I'm not telling you about the deal.

Y/N: Why not?!

Arthur: Because it's none of your business.

Y/N: I mean, you're my grandson. I thi know I should know why you made a deal with a lord of chaos.

Arthur just rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms.

Arthur: It was a deal to save...my best friend. That's all.

Y/N: And this "best friend"...

Arthur: Don't say it like that.

Y/N: Is the "Gwe" person Dormammu mentioned?

Arthur nodded. You smirked as you nudged him.

Y/N: Who is she?

Arthur shot you a look which made the audience laugh. Yeah, you weren't going to get used to that.

Arthur: Her name is, Gwen. She's named after her aunt.

Y/N: Her aunt is Gwen? As in Ghost Spider Gwen?

Arthur nodded. You smirked a bit.

Y/N: Who's her grandparents? Anyone I know?

Arthur: Yeah. I'm not telling you though. Spoils.

Y/N: Ah. At least tell me about her.

Arthur just looked up at the roof.

Arthur: We pretty much grew up together. She's the only one that I, uh, tolerate the most on the team. She even made us those stupid friendship bracelets.

Y/N: Awwww.

The audience also cooed.

Y/N: Do you wear it?

Arthur refused to look at you as he slid up his sleeve to reveal a red and black bracelet with two beads. One had an A and the other was a G. The audience cooed again.

Arthur: I really hate those sounds.

Y/N: That's adorable. You sure the two of you aren't dating?

Arthur didn't answer. He looked at his hands while he played with his bracelet.

Arthur: I don't deserve her. She deserves someone who can actually make her happy. Not some egotistical mad scientist.

You placed a hand on his shoulder but the door suddenly opened. Looks like this conversation will have to wait until later.

Molly: Hey guys! You ready for school?

You and Arthur looked at each other.

Y/N: School? Didn't we just, uh, move here?

Molly: That was yesterday silly!

Arthur: Must have been a scene change. I think we should go with it for now.

You nodded in agreement and stood up. Suddenly, the set changed to a high school interior. You and Arthur suddenly had backpacks on as well as a different set of clothes.

Arthur: What the fuck?

Y/N: Hey, uh, do any of you guys go to school in the future?

Arthur: I graduated from college with a bachelors at 15. You didn't go to school, did you?

Y/N: Like a year. Well, kinda. Not really. School was a weird thing.

You and Arthur were suddenly interrupted by a smack on your back.

Miles: Yo! It's the news kids.

You fixed the ball cap you were wearing and looked at him.

Y/N: Hey Miles.

Miles: You guys need a guide? I can show you all the hot spots. Like, all three of them.

The audience laughed.

Arthur: THAT WASN'T EVEN FUNNY!

You calmed him down as someone else walked over. You actually smiled a bit when you saw it was Viv.

Y/N: Hey Viv.

Viv: Salutations fellow humans. How about the weather?

Arthur: Huh?

Viv: Did you watch the show that was on the TV last night?

Y/N: What?

Viv: Go football.

You and Arthur looked at each other which earned a laugh track. You then looked out to the audience.

Arthur: Uh, yeah. Go football.

Y/N: Woo.

Miles suddenly threw an arm around your shoulder as he looked somewhere off stage.

Miles: There's the Strikers.

Y/N: The Strikers?

Viv: My, human, calculations have deduced that the Strikers are made up of the most popular individuals in Avengers High School.

Arthur: Avengers High School? Really?

Viv: Yes.

Arthur: That was a rhetorical question.

The audience laughed. You watched as, from the darkness of the studio, 5 familiar figures appeared. It was the Strikers. Felicia, Robbie, Doreen, Tyrone, and Tandy.

Miles: They know us cause Katie is dating Robbie. Also, Viv has computer class with Doreen.

The five noticed you and walked over.

Robbie: Fresh meat. Thanks for the meal Miles.

The audience laughed.

Arthur: One more fucking laugh track and I swear to One-Above-All that I will strangle someone.

Felicia: You look a little uptight. You guys come from Xaviers?

Y/N: No. Uh, New Jersey?

Tyrone: Why did you say it like a question?

Y/N: I don't know?

Robbie: Stop that.

Y/N: Stop what?

Doreen: Asking questions.

Y/N: Why?

Tandy: I'm going to punch you.

Y/N: Wh...

Tandy playfully punched your shoulder but retracted her arm in surprise.

Tandy: Woah. It's like a brick wall.

Everyone looked at you as you stood there awkwardly.

Y/N: Uh, I work out.

The audience laughed. Arthur clenched his teeth as he looked around. He found some random person and prounced on him before strangling him.

Robbie: Is your friend ok?

Y/N: Just let him get it out of his system.

Felicia: So, you guys are new right? Would you like to eat lunch with us? That way you aren't clawing to find someone.

You gave it some thought. You figured the "script" would force you to anyway.

Y/N: Yeah. Sure. My name is Y/N. That's my gran...brother! My brother. Arthur.

Doreen: Oh! You guys are the ones who moved across the street from me.

She slid to you side and got a big close.

Doreen: I saw you unpacking yesterday. I thought I recognized those muscles.

She wiggled her eyebrows which started another laugh track.

Arthur: Ok. That one I get.
