Author notes: there's talk of Peter's train encounter from FFH; and this is in some nebulous universe between FFH and NWH bc i said so. =)
Summary: Sam has some questions about Peter's trip to Europe

"Wait, let me make sure I understand this. You got hit... by a train. Like an actual train." Sam seemed to be very confused by this whole concept.

Peter nodded. "Yup. Actual train. Very real. It hurt. A lot." He didn't really like talking about it; it had been pretty traumatic really.

Sam frowned. "I wanna ask how you didn't see it coming, but that - no, how?"

"Illusions." Pretty simple explanation there, right?

"Huh? How's that work? Don't you have that - thing."

Peter sighed. "I do, but - after the whole Thanos snap thing, it - it's hard to explain and I don't really know why it was on the fritz, but whatever. The train was hidden in illusions and I didn't really see it until about oh-point-three seconds before it hit me."

"Damn, kid." Sam didn't really know what to say to that. "Why do I know so many people with train accident histories?"

Bucky beaned him in the head with a Cheeto.

"I deserved that."
