Who: Clint Barton and Alpha Peter
What: Adventure is out there!
When: Monday
Where: Through the doors | Viridian City

Peter was still not big on the doors, like he'd told yet another young version of himself, but sometimes you heard about it going some place interesting and he was tempted. It wasn't another convention, one was probably enough - but it was a world that seemed more potential vacation destination than real threat. So when Clint came calling Peter decided he could check it out with him, you didn't let a guy go through the door on his own, that just wasn't on.

His web-shooters on Peter was ready to go, it was a bright sunny day on the other side - the sort you only ever really got like once or twice a year, and it was so green and well Peter was pretty sure that things couldn't be all that bad in a place like this. So it helped him stow away any anxiety he had about venturing through the doors.

"Well this is just something straight off a postcard." He said to Clint as they looked around taking stock of the place. A small city, bigger than theirs but Peter was pretty sure most were. Lots of forest around as well, it was strange, how similar it was - but like the colors had been turned up, making it all just a little brighter, a little greener.

"So what do you think? Check out the forest first? Or the City?" He asked Clint, either option worked for him as long as they weren't walking headfirst into some kind of trap or something.

Clint only shrugged because last requests were last requests. You had to do 'em, or else you were the worst. It was practically law.

But it was getting to be pretty obvious that Peter wouldn't need to remember his lengthy message anyway, since the little animal was like, the goddamned cutest thing that he'd ever seen, and also seemed pretty happy with the offering of more berries. Clint couldn't help but wander a little closer, plop down on the ground next to Peter. "I think he likes you," he told his friend even though it was probably pretty obvious. That bulbasaur was tinted with pleasure and the thing was pressing at his hand in a demand for more pets and oh boy it was almost too much. "This is like.... clearly your animal now."

That was how it worked. Clint knew that, because he had a dog who liked him. Although, admittedly, he sorta wanted a weird little plant dinosaur too now.

Yeah, this things was pretty amazingly cute, even Peter could admit that and then when he started pressing into his hand for pets, well Peter was a goner. He stroked a hand over his head, happy to indulge the little guy and well it was just pretty cool to do something like this. "Yeah? I think maybe you're right." Peter agreed - the little guy did seem to like him and well that was just - unexpected.

And then Clint suggested that it was his now and Peter glanced at Clint, "Is that how this works? I mean I just get to say this one is mine now because he loves these pets- yes you love them, don't you?" He trailed off, his tone rising just a bit and his attention diverting to the bulbasaur as he pet it more, grinning despite himself.

Maybe that was how it worked, this was not at all what he'd expected for today, but here he was petting something kind of like a dinosaur and absolutely loving life.

Sometimes you just had to live life outside the unexpected. It was a thing. Clint was pretty great at it, and he figured Peter ought to be too. Even if they had had a pretty easy run of things in the last few months.

"Uh, yeah," he said, reaching out to pet the little dude too -- and while the bulbasaur seemed to tolerate him, he didn't look overly thrilled like he did with Peter either. "I'm pretty sure that's how it works. That's what Lucky did." It was pretty obvious Peter was into the idea anyway, considering that his voice went up an octave just so he could sweet talk the little thing.

It was really cute. Clint couldn't help but crane his neck a bit, looking around to see if there were any different other animals around.

Huh, well that showed what Peter knew about how one managed to have an animal come into their lives. "Guess that makes sense." Sort of, in like a fairy tale kind of way, but considering they were sort of in a fairy tale forest Peter thought maybe that really just was the way things worked here.

And watching bulbasaur lean into his touch well, Peter thought he was probably okay with that, especially when he saw the little guy not quite as enthused about being pet by Clint too - yeah Clint was right, that was just the way this worked.

"Soooo," Peter said after he got in a few more pets, "Wanna keep looking around?" He asked Clint. There had to be more of these guys around here and well, even if their weren't Peter was kind of into the whole idea of running around this place a bit more now.

Everything here was definitely some kind of fairy tale and if you couldn't get yourself a weird plant dinosaur here, well, then there was simply no hope left for the rest of the universe. That was absolute fact, so long as Clint was concerned.

Anyway, that thing was like, imprinting onto Pete like Clint did to people he had even a millimeter of love for. He could see that a mile away.

He wondered if maybe, if Peter actually ended up keeping this little buddy, if they should think about grabbing one of these bushes of berries to take with them. Because animals and food or something. Bulbasaur probably wouldn't like pizza the same way Lucky did.

"Yeah," he agreed after a beat, rocking forward enough to get the momentum he needed in order to stand. "We should definitely look around some more. The trail keeps going. Might as well see where it goes, right?"

Peter nodded when Clint agreed that they could keep following the trail a bit, he gave Bulbasaur a couple more pets because how could he resist, before grabbing a few more berries as he stood upright once more, pushing himself up from the ground.

"Yeah, maybe this little guy has a family." Or something like that, because yeah Peter could definitely see himself getting even more attached to this little guy than he was already doing, but if he had something here he didn't think he could just take him from it.

"Or maybe there's something even more interesting out that way." Yeah checking this place out more seemed like the right choice. He offered Bulbasaur another berry, "Wanna come with us, little guy?" He asked, like he could understand. Peter had always wondered at people who talked to their animals, and here he was doing it without even thinking twice about it.

"Bulbasaur!" Unlike the pets he'd seen back home though this guy actually kind of sort of talked at him and it sounded like he was agreeing.

"Guess we're all going." He grinned at Clint.

Family. Yeah, that was a fair point, and Clint tended to agree, even if the bulbasaur seemed more than happy to just trot on after them as they went further down the trail. There were a lot of weird birds, some bugs that were somehow cute but also entirely too large for Clint to feel comfortable around, and some truly wild looking fish splashing around in a little river close by.

"We're officially both disney princesses now," Clint pointed out, keeping an eye out for more Bulbasaurs but finding none. "Do you think -- oh my god."

It was a turtle. It was a turtle with a little leaf growing out of it's head and sort of just derping around like a puppy and Clint had to put a hand over his mouth to stop himself making a noise that might be embarrassing later.

"You know, I think I am okay with that." Peter agreed because well - if being a disney princess meant he got cute little weirdos like Bulbasaur following him around then he was definitely about that life.

And by the looks of it this forest was kind of made for living your best disney princess kind of life. The weird little, and some not so little, animals and bugs wandering around was something straight out of a movie - he was just waiting for them to start cleaning or something and really complete the sort of vibe that was already going here.

But then Clint saw something, and Peter saw it too - eyebrows rising up toward his hairline just a little at the sight of it. A sort of turtle, but bigger and definitely happier than any turtle he'd ever seen before.

"Well." Peter started and stopped, not sure what to make of this new guy before he handed Clint a couple of the berries that he'd pick. "I think you should go say hi."
