A/N Part 2 of Defenders in Detention.

"Are you gay?"

Luke spat out the half processed slime that what supposedly food and looked up at where Jessica sat opposite him in the school cafeteria.

"What?!"

"Are you gay?" She repeated in her usual disinterested tone.

"Jess we have literally dated." He stated before turning his attention back to his food.

She shrugged. "Doesn't mean your not gay."

Luke rolled his eyes and was planning to continue ignoring her when Danny came and sat next to him.

"Hey guys!" He said with way more energy then physically possible on a Monday lunchtime.

"Hey Danny!" Luke said unable to keep his smile of his face at the kid's exuberance.

This time it was Jess's turn to roll her eyes.

"Where's Matt?" Luke said ignoring her.

"Oh he's getting told of by Coulson." Danny replied digging into his personally prepared vegan salad. "Loki was being a jerk as usual to Darcey so he 'accidentally' tripped him up but apparently Loki has no problems punching a blind guy so they got into a fight. Coulson broke them up but then Tony got annoyed at Matt for defeating one of 'their' bad guys."

They all looked over to where the infamous Tony Stark was sat with the rest of the popular kids in their group dubbed 'The Avengers' as he told a wildly theatrical version of today's events. Luke used to be in the football team with a few of them until Stryker planted drugs on him and he got kicked off the team. He'd sometimes hang out with Sam or Steve but for the most part he didn't interact with them very much.

He turned back to see Danny staring at him.

"What?" He asked.

"You've got something in your..." Before Luke properly realised what's happening Danny had reached across to wipe a small piece of food from his cheek.

Luke sat frozen for a moment before finally stuttering a quiet "Thank you."

He looked up to see Jessica mouthing "GAY."

"Why are you even sitting here Jess?" He said accusingly "I thought you hated us."

"True but I'd rather sit over here than with them." He said pointing to where Trish was sitting with Pepper, Jane and the rest of the student council.

Eventually Matt joined them with a plate of soggy looking chips and a black eye.

"Not a word."
