An Unexpected Encounter

Summary: While the Garcia family attempts to find a place they can call home they come across a rather odd stranger...

Word Count: 1626

Read on AO3:

They’d been driving for days. Searching for somewhere, anywhere, that they could find food and shelter, get a chance to rest and perhaps even the energy to start to rebuild something that would last. But there was nothing but danger; that was all they had found for a long time. Perhaps they should be thankful. They had a working car and a tankful of gas, both rarities so many years after the world had fallen – over a decade. Not just rarities, miracles. But cramped together in the confines of the tiny Honda Civic with no end in sight, none of the Garcias were feeling particularly grateful.

Santiago could feel his eyes drifting shut as he continued to drive down the long-abandoned road. He was dog tired. So was everybody else though. They’d almost gotten cornered a couple hours ago when they tried to scout out an abandoned store to sleeping for the night. He and Javi had fought their way through while Gabe shielded Nurgul and Luka. One of the muertos had taken a swipe at the baby. Nurgul had impaled its skull with a frantic cry and crushed its corpse underneath her as they ran. It had been far too close a call.

Glancing over to his side, Santi saw that Nurgul was still awake in the passenger seat beside him, looking dazed as she cradled a sleeping Luka in her arms. Javi and Gabe were conked out in the back seat together, both snoring. The sound was comforting in a sense. It reminded Santi that they were still alive. He looked back to Nurgul. “Do you want me to try to get the lever unstuck again so you can get some rest?” The front seats reclined, providing the most comfortable sleep one could hope for in a car, but the passenger side’s lever tended to be extra finicky.

Nurgul shook her head, giving a weak smile. “I’m good. I just want to stay up a bit longer, make sure Luka’s really settled down,” She gazed lovingly at the infant in her arms, still just a few months old. It was clear the close call today had shaken her.

Santiago nodded in understanding. “Alright. If you change your mind, just ask,”

They drove on in companionable silence, watching the sunrise as it peeked above the horizon through the trees that lined both sides of the worn-down road. Suddenly Nurgul’s eyes widened in shock. “Santi, walker!”

Santiago looked up just in time to see what she spoke of. Swerving wildly, he dodged the grubby form, barely avoiding hitting the muerto. His adjustment was too rapid though and the car skidded as he desperately pumped the breaks, the front end dipping into a ditch along the edge of the road.  “Fucking shit!” Santi swore, pounding a fist against the wheel. His eyes shot over to Nurgul who was protectively hunched over a crying Luka. “Are you alright? Were either of you hurt?”

“N-no,” Nurgul let out a shaky breath. “Is the car OK? Does it still work?”

“Nuri?” Gabe’s voice had a note of panic as he woke and leaned forward. “What happened?”

“We’re OK,” Nurgul took her husband’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

“Nearly hit a walker back there,” Santiago stated, unbuckling his seatbelt. “Couldn’t risk hitting it head on and causing a bigger crash. It’ll probably take all of us to get the car out of the ditch though,” He made eye contact with his husband through the cracked rearview mirror. Javi was still somewhat caught in the dregs of heavy sleep and simply gave a silent nod before stepping out of the vehicle himself.

After getting out, Gabe hurried round to the other side of the vehicle to help his wife. “Honey, just stand to the side, OK? I don’t want you or Luka in the path of the car when we lift it up,”

“But you may need the extra help. I can shift Luka to my back in the sling. There’s nothing around except that one-” Nurgul paused, her eyes scanning the road. Where had that muerto gone?

“Need a hand?” an unknown voice had all four of them flinching and looking over to the source in bewilderment. There standing before them was what they had assumed at a distance was a wandering muerto. Considering it had just spoken though, it must not be a muerto after all but rather an extremely bedraggled human. They appeared to be covered in dark dried mud and a variety of leaves and other bits of fauna. Their clothes were hardly distinguishable from their body, the mud was caked on so heavily.

Javi stepped forward, placing himself between the stranger and his family. “What are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere all by yourself?”

The stranger shrugged. “Got left out here. They said the community was running low on supplies, so sacrifices had to be made. I was a sacrifice. Except I didn’t die. I never do,” They stared blankly at the group for a second longer, their expression unreadable.

“Well… I’m Javi,”

“Oakley,”

The silence was drawn out again.

“So, Oakley, would you like to help us get our car out of the ditch? We could give you a ride for a while as payment,” Javi offered cautiously, eyeing the young adult for any sort of hidden weapons.

Oakley blinked. “Do you have granola?”

“What?”

“Granola,”

“…No.”

“Oh. OK then,” Turning away from them, Oakley began to head toward the woods.

“A fine attitude to have for someone who got us into this mess!” Santiago grumbled. “No wonder they got left out in the woods!”

“Let’s just focus on getting the car back on the road,” Javi replied with a world-weary sigh, stepping down into the ditch beside his husband and nephew. They had bigger concerns than figuring out that bizarre, fleeting social interaction. Working together, the men tried their best to lift the front end high enough to clear the ditch. Their feet struggled to find leverage in the damp earth, slipping again and again as they struggled. Nurgul guided their efforts from her place upon the road, directing them in how to adjust the angle of their approach while she bounced a crying Luka, trying to calm him as best she could.

It took twenty minutes to free the car from the muck and mire and have both tires back upon level ground. All four now worked as a team to push the car back far enough to safely get into it before reversing and driving off. Once it was deemed safe to enter, Santiago stepped inside to restart the car. It took a few more tries than it had before, but eventually the engine sputtered to life and he was able to safely back up the car onto the road itself. Immediately the others moved to get back in the car as well. They were all tucked safely within in once more when Nurgul paused in buckling her seat belt. “Look. It’s them,” She gestured towards the woods where the mysterious mud-laden stranger had just emerged and was walking briskly toward the car.

“Should I drive?” Santi asked, his hands upon the wheel.

“Give them one second,” Javi replied, his hand drifting down to the gun holstered at his side. Oakley didn’t seem to be the type to willingly cause harm, but just in case he was ready to draw. Rolling down the window a crack, he spoke up. “What do you want?”

“I would very much like that ride after all,” Oakley stated calmly, standing beside the open window.

“What made you change your mind,”

“The herd,”

That’s when they heard it: the faint moans and shuffles of a herd from somewhere in the distance. Soft, but distinct. That wasn’t the noise of a few wandering stragglers. That was the sound of a migration. Anything in its path would be consumed. That included Oakley if Javi refused their request. Javi eyed them suspiciously. They were utterly unreadable. Their eyes held no discernable emotion in that moment: no malice, no pain, no fear even in the face of an approaching herd. He wasn’t sure what to make of them. His family didn’t owe them anything, especially after their dismissal of the crash they had caused. But he couldn’t in good conscience leave them to die. He unlocked his door. “Alright. Get in. Gabe, make room,”

“What?! Are you crazy?” Gabe exclaimed, his eyes hardening.

“We can’t just leave them to die, Gabe!” Javi locked eyes with his nephew.

Gabe’s anger held for a moment then faltered. He couldn’t abandon them for dead either. “Fine. But they’re sitting next to me, away from Nuri and Luka,”

“Of course,” Shifting toward the door, Javi motioned for Oakley to circle to the other side of the car. They did so quickly. Opening the other car door, they silently took a seat beside Gabe, As soon as the door closed, Santi put his foot to the gas and they were off like a shot, getting as far away as they could from the sounds of impending danger. A minute or two later they couldn’t even hear the herd anymore. But it was back there, looming, coming steadily for them without fail. They couldn’t risk simply driving till they ran out of gas. They needed to find somewhere to ride out the storm, a place with thick, sturdy walls that could withstand a herd.

Javi looked over at their newest passenger who was gazing out the window in calm interest. “Oakley. We need to find shelter. Do you know anywhere we can be safe, at least till the herd passes through?”

Oakley’s eyes shifted to the floor. They nodded slowly. “I do,”

Iron Dad Bingo: Car Crash

He reached up to pull the mask on and winced, trying his best to do it one-handed. Using his left arm was not happening. He only got the mask halfway down his face before Karen beeped to life. Good enough.

"Good evening, Peter."

"Even'n," he mumbled.

"You appear to have several lacerations and trauma to the neck, as well as fractures and sprains along the left side. Shall I contact Mr. Stark for you?"

"Absolutely not."

"I'm sorry, Peter, but it's protocol to contact Mr. Stark whenever an injury has been detected."

"Karen, noooooooo," he whined softly, but it was too late, and he already heard the dial tone in his ears. Ugh. Why'd she even ask? He dragged his good hand across his face and briefly considered ripping the mask off and throwing it to the ditch below, groundbreaking technology be damned.

But, the line only rang twice before Tony's face filled the screen in front of his eyes.

"Kid? I thought I told you. Drive straight here. No crime-fighting detours. What part of that was confusing?"

Peter groaned. "The drive straight part, evidently"

"What?"

"Nothing. It's nothing, Mr. Stark. I'll… I'll just be a bit late. That's all I was calling to tell you."

He squinted at him with that telltale 'bullshit' twist to his mouth that Peter hadn't seen since the ferry incident. Oh, God, the ferry incident. He shook the ferry incident out of his head and groaned when the motion made his head pound. When had he hit his head?

"You didn't call. How late are we talking?"

"Um." He tried doing the math in his head. He couldn't swing. He couldn't walk. This wasn't going to happen, was it?

He rested his head back on the edge of the curb, relishing in the coolness. He wasn't getting out of this without telling anyone. This sucked. This really, really sucked.

"Peter?"

"Uh… depends. How long would you say it would take to swing one handed to the compound? Or hop on one foot? Or clear a wreck?"

"You- What-?"

"There was a deer." Peter said plainly.

"And you hit it?"

"It and… a lot of other things."

Full text and all chapters HERE because I love the platform on ff. net, or read below.

Peter's nerves felt like a live wire. Crazy and buzzing with energy, dangerously active, even as it felt like his heart was in his stomach and both flopping around haphazardly.

"You sure you've got everything?"

Peter looked around. Phone in the center console. He pat the many pockets of his cargo shorts until he could feel the lump that was his wallet. "Yeah. Yeah, I've got everything.

May gave him a knowing smile as she leaned through the passenger window to give his shoulder a squeeze. "Okay, but can I offer you a tip?"

Peter smirked at her. His sweet, beautiful, amazing aunt who worried way too much. She was going to go gray before Peter so much as got his diploma. "I've got this. I promise."

"I know you do, but just hear me out. If the car starts giving you trouble-"

"Call you. I know."

"No. I was going to say that when the car gives you trouble with turning on, you might want to try using these?" She reached into her purse and pulls out Peter's keychain, car key reflecting the evening sunlight into his eyes, mocking him.

Peter flushed down to his neck as he reached his hand out to take the keys from her. "O-oh yeah. Remembering these uh… might be kinda useful, huh?"

May just laughed. "Alright, my little genius. Have fun and be safe. Call me as soon as you get to the compound."

"I know, May. I will."

"I'm serious! Don't forget, or I'll call Tony and give him an earful."

Peter shuddered. He might actually die of embarrassment from that. "I know you will."

May heaved a sigh and pulled her body out of the passenger side window, clasping her hands in front of her until the knuckles turned white.

"May, are you crying?"

"No!" she yells, but she choked on her words and sniffed, and Peter doesn't need enhanced sight to see the telltale sheen of tears in her eyes. "It's just… the allergies are kind of bad, and-"

"May!"

"-And my baby is growing up!"

"May, it- it's okay. I'm not going that far, I'm just… I don't have to go."

"No, no. Happy tears. All happy tears. I'm proud of you. It's just going by so fast." She brushed the tears away quickly before they could fall and ruin her makeup, and waved him off. "You need to get going. You're going to be late."

"Right. Right." Peter turned the key and the car, well… it didn't roar to life. It more so wheezed and sputtered to life, begrudgingly accepting that it was going to go on yet another journey. It was an old car by then. Really old. Older than Peter, actually, if he had to guess. New cars were expensive. And besides, he didn't think May would give the car up even if she did have the money for a new auto loan. This had been Ben's car, and she was sentimental to a fault. He rolled the window up, thankful that it at least wasn't so old that he had to crank it back up, and there was a rather awkward minute where May was still on the sidewalk next to their apartment building, waving, never stopping, still waving, oh my God, while Peter made the car buck forward and backward again and again in a sad attempt to shimmy out of the parallel spot that May had somehow managed to squeeze into when she'd pulled the car around (seriously, how did she even get into the spot to begin with?) until finally breaking free into traffic. He glanced up into the rearview mirror as he drove away, May shrinking into just a dot behind him whenever her form wasn't blocked by other cars. She hadn't moved from her spot on the sidewalk, and though Peter couldn't tell from the angle he was at, he was sure she was still waving slightly. He'd put money on it.

He shook his head and focused on the road in front of him. All honking horns and red lights and stop, then go, no stop! Until he finally broke through the boundaries of the city and all the skyscrapers and tall buildings faded into the background, replaced by suburbia and trees and greenery. It would be a long drive to the compound. A business party. A superhero only business party.

His nerves jumped again and he looked over to gush to May, only, oh yeah, she was still back in Queens. It was just Peter this time, and the thought felt weird. There was no safety net without her. No 'Peter it's not a four-way stop!' and slamming on the breaks a moment before darting out into traffic.

He rolled the window down and leaned his arm out, feeling the wind wrap around his fingers and tug at them like a kite. Like it did when he would careen between buildings back in Queens. It's freeing, the whole 'driving all on his own thing," though he's not quite sure why. He'd undoubtedly been a lot freer than most other teens his age, what with Happy picking him up at every other location, the stellar- well, maybe not stellar- but extensive New York subway system letting him go pretty much wherever he so pleased… and the whole soaring between buildings thing.

No, he wasn't freer, but there was just something about it. A certain quality he couldn't quite put his finger to. It was like having the training wheels taken off. As one hour, then two hours slipped by and he sped through winding roads, he felt older. More competent. More adult. More trusted. All the things he yearned for most. And, it was kind of crazy that an old beat up 2000 Honda Civic could make him feel like that, but hell. Why fight it? He'd soak in all the joy he could before Tony would inevitably come out complaining about the old car he'd been driving and insist on Happy picking him up next time. Which, wouldn't be happening.

The sun began setting, hanging low in the sky, a piercing orange over the treetops. Peter squinted through his sunglasses and flipped down the visor, but it wasn't enough. Even behind the sunglasses, the bright rays set off alarms in his head. It felt like his head was a pinball machine, pain ricocheting between his ears. He cursed under his breath. For all the good that his heightened senses did for him, they made up for it ten times over in days spent hunched over the bathroom toilet or in bed with the blankets pulled securely around his face because the sights and the smells and the sounds were all just too much.

He couldn't slink down into the seat and tuck his head between his knees then like he so desperately wanted to, though. He was driving. And so, he squinted into the sun, nuclear sirens in his head be damned, and kept driving. It wasn't ideal, though, and maybe that was why when goosebumps pricked up on the back of his arms and he knew something was wrong, he was a bit sluggish in pinpointing exactly what until, literally, it was glaring at him right in the face: a deer in the road.

It stood and stared at him, his headlights beaming back off of its eyes and turning them to a fluorescent blue. MOVE, Peter wanted to scream, but it just flapped her ears at him and continued chewing on a bit of leaf in its mouth.

Peter slammed on the brakes and was thrown against the seatbelt with such force that he worried that it might snap. Either the seatbelt was going to snap, or his collarbone. One of the two. Of that, he was sure.

The brakes locked up, ABS light on the dash be damned, and the car skid, regardless of how quickly Peter pumped the brakes and tried to channel the information from his days falling asleep in the back of the driver's ed classroom at school.

It was too little too late, though, and he quickly realized that there was no way he was going to stop in time to avoid the deer, and also no way he was going to allow that to happen.

He gripped the steering wheel and shoved, using perhaps a bit too much super strength than the job required. The car veered off into the oncoming lane with a thud, Oh God, that was probably the deer, and kept going.

Peter felt his heart leap into his throat because this could not be happening. He overcorrected and pulled the steering wheel in the opposite direction, but it was too big a force on too small a car, and it slid right off the edge of the road.

Peter saw it all happen in slow motion, realized with horror that it wasn't just flat ground on the other side of the road, but a ditch. A big ditch, with water coursing through it from the last rainfall that has to be at least four feet deep. The car rolled into it, and even for Peter's enhanced senses, he wasn't quite sure what was happening.

The sound was, well, deafening wouldn't do it justice. It sounded like his eardrums should have split open. Everything outside the window was a blur, rolling around in a mess of brown and green and black and crunching metal.

Shit, shit, shit, shit. This was going to hurt. Really, really bad. But, there was nothing Peter could do anymore. Nothing he could do to get himself out of the car, to correct its course, to do anything but squeeze the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white and the leather stitching on the wheel gave way from the force, close his eyes, brace himself, and wait.

But, oh boy, he didn't brace himself enough. He couldn't brace himself enough. His neck was thrown to the side and Something in his arm twisted. He heard a brief shattering noise and then the bite of hundreds of little glass shards around him, and was then met with a disgusting mouthful of water, all of it pouring into the car faster than he could manage to catch his breath. Then, oh God, oh God, oh God, the water became hot. Too hot. Way too hot.

The car was still on and running as the water in the ditch rushed from under the hood and burning engine, or maybe the heater core had burst, through the broken windshield, and onto Peter. It didn't matter how it happened. What mattered was that Peter was being burned alive and he couldn't stop a guttural yelp from bursting forward, the sound alien even to his own ears. He jumped, fumbling for the button to release his seatbelt through the almost boiling water, hands turning into claws as he fought to ignore every instinct telling him to get his hand out of the burning water that instant. Finally, he found it, and the seatbelt snapped away from him, Peter jumping out of the hot water and sticking to the top of the car, which was actually the right side of the car now, scanning the damage below him for the one thing he needed to take with him out of this accident: his suit. It was floating in the backseat, and as he reached out to grab it, his left shoulder screamed in pain. When did that happen? In the back of his mind, he remembered a snap and a crunch and please tell him that wasn't his shoulder. He had a sickening feeling that it was.

With the little strength he had left, he shoved his back against the passenger window, the same one May had leaned through to tell him to be careful, to tell him that she was proud of him, which was now the top of the car, shattered the glass, and crawled through, using just his right arm and right leg, because something had happened to his left leg, too, because that was just his luck, to crawl out of the ditch.

He cast a glance over his shoulder at the car. Totaled. It was completely and utterly totaled. How was he going to tell May? For a wild second, he tried to think of any way possible not to tell her. He could swing the rest of the way to the compound, get a new car, with all the same stains on the upholstery, somehow make the money appear out of nowhere.

He groaned, fumbling through his pocket for his phone, which, miraculously, had stayed put. This couldn't be happening. Unmiraculously, it didn't quite survive the water damage. He groaned again, louder this time, and splayed all of his limbs out on the side of the road truly and fully. Karen it was, then.

He reached up to pull the mask on and winced, trying his best to do it one-handed. Using his left arm was not happening. He only got the mask halfway down his face before Karen beeped to life. Good enough.

"Good evening, Peter."

"Even'n," he mumbles.

"You appear to have several lacerations and trauma to the neck, as well as fractures and sprains along the left side. Shall I contact Mr. Stark for you?"

"Absolutely not."

"I'm sorry, Peter, but it's protocol to contact Mr. Stark whenever an injury has been detected."

"Karen, noooooooo," he whined softly, but it was too late, and he already heard the dial tone in his ears. Ugh. Why'd she even ask? He dragged his good hand across his face and briefly considered ripping the mask off and throwing it to the ditch below, groundbreaking technology be damned.

But, the line only rang twice before Tony's face filled the screen in front of his eyes.

"Kid? I thought I told you. Drive straight here. No crime-fighting detours. What part of that was confusing?"

Peter groaned. "The drive straight part, evidently"

"What?"

"Nothing. It's nothing, Mr. Stark. I'll… I'll just be a bit late. That's all I was calling to tell you."

He squinted at him with that telltale 'bullshit' twist to his mouth that Peter hadn't seen since the ferry incident. Oh, God, the ferry incident. He shook the ferry incident out of his head and groaned when the motion made his head pound. When had he hit his head?

"You didn't call. How late are we talking?"

"Um." He tried doing the math in his head. He couldn't swing. He couldn't walk. This wasn't going to happen, was it?

He rested his head back on the edge of the curb, relishing in the coolness. He wasn't getting out of this without telling anyone. This sucked. This really, really sucked.

"Peter?"

"Uh… depends. How long would you say it would take to swing one handed to the compound? Or hop on one foot? Or clear a wreck?"

"You- What-?"

"There was a deer." Peter said plainly.

"And you hit it?"

"It and… a lot of other things."

"Well-" Tony sputtered. "Are you okay? Actually, don't answer that. I'm looking at Karen's data now."

"No. No, I'm fine. Totally, 100% fine."

"Tell me, kid, if whiplash, a sprained ankle, first and second-degree burns, and a broken collarbone is fine, what does your not fine look like?"

"Uh-"

"Yeah. That's what I thought. "

As the adrenaline wore off, the pain, even more than before, set in. "Shit this hurts."

Tony frowned on screen. "What hurts, exactly?"

"Everything," Peter moaned.

"Alright. That's it. I don't care if Karen says there are no life-threatening injuries. We're calling you an ambulance."

"No no no! Karen is right. I'm fine. Just hurts is all. 'M just being dramatic." Even as he said that, a new wave of pain coursed through his left side and it's all Peter can do to swallow hard and not yelp.

Tony's eyes softened. "I know, kid. I know. Just make sure you're in a safe place and hang in there… you sure you're fine? Because if you're not and I didn't call an ambulance-"

"I'm fine, Mr. Stark. Really. I promise."

"So… if you're really okay, then that means I can make fun of you for it now, right?"

"No. No, it does not mean that." He squinted at Tony. "Karen, you're such a tattle-tale," he tacked on under his breath, fully not intending for it to reach Tony's ears, but of course it did anyway.

"Did you just say tattle-tale? Really? You know, Karen wouldn't have to tell on you if you, y' know, did the smart thing and told me you needed help on your own."

Peter squeezed his eyes shut. "Ugh. Can you please just quit with the smart remarks and come help me?"

The other end of the line went silent and Peter's heart dropped. Too much. He'd mouthed off too much, and opened his mouth to apologize, but Tony beeped back in before he could.

"I can do exactly one of those things."

'Mph," Peter huffed, and listened to the sound of the Iron Man suit firing up and roaring over the line, and Tony hitting him with a whole arsenal of one-liners the whole flight.

"Would you look at that? He takes down airplanes and cars! He's multitalented!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure you still look absolutely smashing."

"Hey, hey, hey, I heard you got an eight out of ten on your driving test. Guess the other two must have jumped out of the way."

Peter pulled the edge of the mask up - and ow, he forgot about his shoulder again- so that there was room to shove his middle finger into view of the camera.

Tony merely snorted and kept on. Peter closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the curb, the rest of his body on the narrow strip of grass between the road and the ditch. Man, he was tired. More tired than he'd been in a long time.

"Kid?"

Peter just let out a nonsensical "mph" in response, which evidently didn't make it to Tony's ears this time over the sound of the suit in flight.

"Kid!"

Peter cracked his eyes open to the panicked edge in Tony's voice.

"Oh thank God."

Peter arched an eyebrow up.

"Hey, I know Karen said that your injuries weren't on the life-threatening side of things, but what do you expect me to think after you've just been in a wreck, close your eyes, and stop answering?"

"Relax. 'M just tired."

Tony blinked. "No. No, you do not take a nap at the side of the road. Jesus. Do you need a lesson in common sense or something?"

"Probably."

Tony rolled his eyes. "But… you're definitely okay? I mean, I know you're not okay okay, but like- not dying or something."

Peter chuckled. "Yes, Mr. Stark. How many times do you want me to say it until you believe me?"

Until he could see him in person, probably. "Fine. You're right, you're right… More jokes then?"

"Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Stark. I didn't say that!"

He snickered to himself. "Well. Lucky for you, I'm almost there, so I'll spare the rest for the drive back. Happy is on his way."

"No, no, no, not Happy!" But Tony doesn't answer. If Peter had to spend the rest of the drive to the compound in the back of Happy's car, again, watching him shoot disapproving glares through the rear view window, he might actually just choose to jump out the window and hop the rest of the way.

He tilted his head back and saw the familiar form of Iron Man descending from the sky and land next to him with a powerful thud that made the earth- and his head and fractured bone- shake. Ow.

Tony took the helmet off and let out a low whistle. "You look like shit."

Peter stared up at him with half-lidded eyes. "Gee. Thanks."

His forehead creased with worry as he evaluated the scene. "No. I mean that this is worse than Karen made it sound. A lot worse."

"I told you. 'M perfectly fine." He barely got the words out before trying to sit up and pain tearing through the left side of his body with a guttural sort of yelp.

"Hey! Easy!" Tony planted a firm ironclad hand on his shoulder and helped him into a sitting position. "This is not fine. Christ, I almost feel bad for teasing you the whole way here."

"Don't worry. I forgive you."

"I said almost."

With a hand more gentle than Peter would have expected possible for Tony, he peeled back Peter's eyes and shone a light in them.

Peter closed his eyes tight and turned his head to the side. "What are you doing?"

"Your pupils are different sizes."

"That's not good."

Tony pinched his lips together. "No. It's not. Follow my finger with your eyes."

"Mr. Stark. I'm fine. Really."

"Please just do it."

"Okay, okay." Peter relented and followed Tony's pointer finger as he moved it slowly from side to side. What was this supposed to do, exactly?

"Cool. What about that light a second ago? How'd that make you feel? Was it too bright?"

"Uh…" Peter thought. "I guess?"

Tony frowned, the creases on forehead starting to look as though they'd be etched there permanently. "That's also not good."

"Is it not?"

"Nope. Photosensitivity is another concussion symptom."

"Oh. Pshhh." Peter waved him off. "I always think lights are too bright. Think that's why I hit the deer in the first place. Too much sun. To much super sight."

Tony paused to look at him for a moment at that. "We're going to need to do something about that, then."

"Yeah," he sighed. "I really thought I had it."

"You didn't."

"What insightful observation." He was starting to take on too much of Tony's sarcasm. It was starting to scare him, really.

Peter laid back down on the ground and covered his eyes with his hands. "I can't believe this is happening."

"Hey. Don't worry about the crash right now. Just take it easy. We'll get you patched up in a bit, and I'll call someone out here to get the car." He spared a look into the ditch. "Or, y' know. What's left of it."

Peter followed his gaze. "Is there any chance it can be fixed."

"Ha! Nope. This is a 'throw the whole car away' kind of deal.

Peter merely groaned.

"Hey." Tony patted him on the shoulder. "Seriously. Don't worry about the car. You're not the first teen to total the family car and you sure as hell won't be the last. As long as you're okay, the car can be replaced."

"No, it can't."

Tony looked back at the car again. Even being totaled aside, it wasn't a great looking car. Hadn't been for some time. He raised an eyebrow at Peter.

"It was Ben's car."

"Ben?"

"Ben. My uncle. May's husband."

The playful glint in Tony's eyes- the one that always tried to lighten up the situation with inappropriate and poorly timed jokes, was snuffed out in an instant.

"... Oh."

"Yeah."

"Ummm…" Tony and Peter looked over the scene once more. Maybe there was something they missed, some way to fix this. There had to be, right? But, there wasn't. The car was done. It had driven its last mile.

"She's going to be so mad." Peter covered his face with his hands.

"Yeah… yeah, she probably will be."

"Ugh."

Tony kneeled by him and pulled his hands from his face with a strangled "Sorry, oh my God, I'm so sorry!" at Peter's Yelp when the movement jostled his shoulder. "But, May wants you safe. The car is just a reminder of family. You're her actual family."

Peter sighed. "I guess."

"No. Not I guess. You're what matters. End of story."

Peter just let out a huff.

"Well one way or another, we need to get you back to the compound before your shoulder sets weird or something."

"They can set that fast?"

"They can if you're a mutant spider freak."

When Happy pulled up with the car, he was ready to lay into Peter in a far more serious fashion than Tony already had with his jeering on the way over. He could see it on his face.

But, Tony shot him a pointed look. Not the time, and the message sunk in pretty quickly. This wasn't a time for joking around. Tony probably shouldn't have even been joking around, really.

Thank you, Peter silently thought towards Tony, hoping that he'd be able to feel even an ounce of his appreciation. He liked Happy. He really did. And, he knew that Happy begrudgingly liked him back. But having Happy drive him again, and after only his first time out was… completely humiliating.

"Hand me the first aid kit?" Tony asked.

Happy nodded and dig through the glove box as Tony swung into the backseat with Peter.

"You can do x-rays and stuff with that?" Peter questioned.

"What?" Tony looked at him like he had two heads. "No. It's a first aid kit. It has band-aids and stuff."

Peter didn't think it was that far fetched. Tony had successfully made far crazier things before.

"Hold still for me." Tony pulled out a pair of tweezers, and more gently than Peter thought possible, tilted Peter's chin up. "There's some glass in this cut… this is going to hurt."

It did hurt, but not as much as Peter was expecting. Tony was uncharacteristically gentle, smoothing the skin on his forehead and carefully picking out the glass, even with his mechanical arm that he hadn't quite gotten the hang of yet, and with an intensely focused look plastered on his face that was usually reserved solely for late nights in the lab, and even then- only with his good eye - all wordlessly until they finally arrived back at the compound. "Well, that's all I can do. Gotta let the docs fix up the rest. Wait! Actually, that isn't all I can do. Here." Tony reached into the first aid kit and slapped a band-aid on Peter's forehead before grabbing him by his right arm and helping him out of the car.

Peter looked at his reflection in the tinted windows. "Are… are these Spiderman themed band-aids? You have Spiderman bandaids. Wh- what?"

"Limited edition. So don't go using the rest of them up." Tony flashed him a smile and swung Peter's good arm around his shoulders, pulling him close as he stumbled into the compound and up to the med bay.

Two hours, two x-rays, a sling, and an ice pack later, Peter hobbled out to the then dwindling party.

"There he is!" Tony again threw Peter's good arm over his shoulders and showed him off to everyone, but Peter just wanted to crawl into a hole and call it a night. This was not how he wanted to meet the other Avengers. Not by a long shot. After the initial introductions, though, Tony thankfully steered him towards the door outside.

"Mr. Stark? Where are we going?"

"I have a present for you."

"A present?"

"Two- no. Three, actually."

"Mr. Stark, you really-"

"Nope. Shhh. No talking. Take these. Present number one." He reached into the pocket of his suit and pulled out a pair of… "Sunglasses?"

Peter put them on tentatively. "Whoa."

"Same tech that's in your suit goggles. Only, glasses. Because, well… I guess you can't go parading the Spiderman mask around all day anytime you need to dim things out and focus, can you? I… really should have thought about that before. I- yeah. Sorry."

"Wow. These… these are amazing. Thank you. So much."

"Save your thanks, kid." He pat Peter on the back and led him the rest of the way outside where-

"Mr. Stark. You didn't…"

"I did."

Peter looked on at the two new cars - cars! - with awe.

"Figured you and May needed separate cars, anyway. So. Y'know. Two birds, one stone. All that jazz."

Peter didn't recognize the make or model of either, nor did he recognize the gaping sound that somehow he managed to produce, but he was pretty sure that each one was worth more than his entire apartment building and everything in it. Shiny and low and lean, one a subdued dark red, and the other a jet black.

"Oh, that's not all. We uh… we couldn't save everything, or even most things, but we got as many things as we could out of your uncle's old car and installed them where they actually fit. Really just the steering wheel cover and a few decorations that looked like they might have gone on the dash. I know it's not the same, but… I figured it's something."

"I, I, I-" Peter was at a total loss for words. "How can I repay you? I don't even know what to say. What do you even say to something like this?"

"Thank you is a good starting point, usually."

"Yes. Yes. Thank you, Mr. Stark. So much. I- just- what? How did you even get these this fast?"

Tony laughed under his breath and pointed to himself. "Genius billionaire. Oh. One more thing. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, quickly searching something up. "You see this?" he asked, turning the screen towards Peter.

It's a picture of a deer crossing sign.

"I know what it means, Mr. Stark."

"Humor me."

Peter barely resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He couldn't though. Not after a gesture like this, oh my God. "Deer are in the area and you should slow down and look out for them," he mumbles.

"Congrats. You've passed my driving test." More seriously, he added, "You got lucky you're only this hurt. I don't want to get a call like that again, okay? You're going to make me go gray, and I have too many photo ops to be doing that yet. So just… please be careful. Always wear those glasses during the day. That's how you can repay me."

"I will, Mr. Stark. I promise."

"Good." His mouth twisted to the side. "And- it's Tony."

"Tony." Peter tested the name out. Weird. Wrong, even. Tony was still far too much his superior for him to refer to him by his first name. That was going to take some getting used to.

He looked out at the two new cars and tried to picture them in the parking deck back home surrounded by all the beat-up cars from the last century with different color paint on every part. Oh, they were so going to get robbed.

OC drabble - Carson Migraine

I actually have a few drabbles written about these characters but I'll probably post them out of order.

He pinched the bridge of his nose until the bones under his face throbbed, then released it to feel a few seconds of relief. He was used to headaches and migraines of all variety. This one felt like all of them combined. Carson was almost certain that his brain was on fire but he couldn't let that distract him now. Not when there was work to be done.

Carson sat in a booth opposite Henry Morris, Riley's partner and superior. This wasn't the conversation he thought he'd be having right now. The warm smile Morris usually wore had turned ice cold. The lines in his face seemed deeper, giving him the hard look you'd expect a detective like him to have. Carson's mind started to wander, imagining Morris as one of those detectives in a mystery noir story, complete with saxophone undertones and lots of dramatic shadows. He'd wear some long black trench coat and a hat to hide his face as he walked down dark streets and alleys in the rain. His already deep voice would take on a husky tone as he slid up to the bar, ordering a whiskey, neat-

"Are you even listening to me, Mr. Hall?" Morris said, making an obvious effort not to raise his voice. Carson snapped out of his daydream and shuddered with concern for several reasons. One: Morris had called him by his last name. Two: This headache was making him way more delirious than when he initially left his apartment. And three: It was getting worse, if that was even possible.

They sat in a diner halfway between his place and the precinct. Morris had brought some ominous manilla folders with him but had the decency not to open them up until the coffee arrived at their table. Carson stared down at his mug, carefully avoiding Morris's gaze.

"Yeah I'm listening." He said flatly as he ran his hand over his forehead for the millionth time since they sat down. A photo was forcefully nudged in his direction. He didn't have to look at it long to notice it was a picture of him.

"Wow, who's this ugly prick?" Carson said jokingly. Morris didn't look amused.

"Care to explain what you were doing at the site of a murder without police supervision?"

At least Carson went to scope the place out after the police had taken all their samples. Morris knew he didn't murder anyone, but it still didn't look very good for him.

"I was looking for residual energies that might indicate who the killer was. You're welcome." Carson said. His headache was wearing down his patience along with his ability to filter himself.

Morris was seething. Before he could leap across the table and start strangling Carson the waitress approached them, visibly nervous.

"Um, can I get you two anything to eat?" She asked timidly. The girl couldn't have been older than sixteen.

"I'll get the #5 eggs and sausage." Morris said, suddenly sounding friendly and polite again. She turned to Carson who sighed before shaking his head.

"No thanks, I'll stick with coffee."

"Make that two #5's please." Morris added as the girl turned to leave. Then he looked pointedly at Carson, "You're too skinny."

He scowled at him.

"Yes, sir." She mumbled and walked back to the kitchen.

They were both silent for a second. Carson spun the little black stirring straw in his coffee idly. The thought of food repulsed him at the moment but he didn't argue.

"Where were we?" Carson asked innocently. Morris caught his gaze, staring daggers. Said daggers went on to pierce through his skull, settling behind his eyes. This headache was starting to get distracting.

"Trespassing on a crime scene is illegal. I'm a cop. And you're going to answer my questions, either here or in an interrogation room." Morris said coolly. This was the first time Carson had disrespected him outright and he wasn't having any of it. "I've been lenient with you before, Mr. Hall, but I have to draw the line somewhere."

Carson took a second to process that. The right thing to do would be apologize and kiss his ass but that wasn't really Carson's style.

"Is this going somewhere?" He said, every bit of boredom evident in his voice. He just didn't have the energy to defend himself when all he was doing was help the case. Literally, his life energy needed time to recuperate, especially after being forced to use it this frequently. Morris was silent until Carson finally dragged his eyes up to meet his. The older man slowly eased a pair of handcuffs onto the table between them.

"Which is it going to be?"

Carson eyed them cautiously, struggling a little to focus on them. The migraine was causing the light reflecting off the metal to strobe and shake.

"I forget, are the chairs at the station more comfortable than this god awful wooden bench? Who designed this anyway..." He said it with genuine curiosity, his mind wandering away again. He was still looking down at the bare wooden bench in disgust when Morris snapped, grabbing him by the hair and slamming his head down on the table twice. He could have done it a lot harder if he had wanted to. A few gasps arose throughout the diner. It had come out of nowhere, surprising everyone, including Carson. Morris made his point very clear, grabbing the cuffs from where they rested on the table, starting to stand.

Carson however stayed sitting down, staring straight ahead in shock. He slowly brought his hands up to rest on the sides of his head. The impact was little more than a tap but the motion was enough knock a screw loose in his head. The migraine he had before increased ten-fold, pressure exploding at his temples.

"What.. the hell." Said Carson. It took all his energy to choke out the words. Morris's lips were moving in response but a high pitched ringing in his ears made it nearly impossible to hear him. A full body shiver passed through him, starting at his head and traveling down through his feet. Fingers snapped in front of his face as Morris tried to get his attention. Carson didn't even look at him. It felt like his head was being split open. He moved one hand to touch his forehead with a wince. As he looked back down at the table he noticed a few red splotches on the paper mat in front of him. "What the hell..." he repeated, slurring this time.

Morris's hand found his shoulder, nudging it gently. Carson made a pathetic attempt to swat it away before bringing both hands up to his head again, digging his palms into his eyes.

"Jesus christ, I barely touched him." Morris defended himself to the staff, flashing his badge in the process. Carson made small pained noises as his entire upper body started trembling. If he was aware of the blood dripping from his nose he didn't seem to care enough to do anything about it. Morris swore, grabbing a napkin off a small stack to dab at his face. Carson gritted his teeth at the touch.

"Come on Carson, enough messing around." Said Morris, "what's wrong with you?" He asked more out of necessity than concern.

"What's... wrong... with me?" Carson forced the words out slowly with more effort than it should have taken, "what.. is wrong-" he winced, "with you?"

"Listen to me, kid, I meant what's wrong with your head?" He tried again with an impatient sigh.

"Not a kid. I'm 27." Carson mumbled. Even now he managed to be obnoxiously stubborn. Morris's face softened finally, seeing Carson was in pretty rough shape already.

"Let's just go to the station. You can clean up your face and I'll let you sit on the couch in my office and everything, come on." He grabbed Carson's arm, trying to coax him out of the booth. Or at least elicit some kind of response. Carson moaned in pain at the subtle movement to his head.

Somewhere in the back of his mind Carson knew that sitting absolutely still for the rest of the foreseeable future wasn't a realistic option. Laying down on the couch in his office did sound awfully nice. So did the pristine leather seats in his car.

"Okay, fine." Carson said quietly. He scooted out to the edge of the booth preparing to stand. That small action caused him almost enough pain to make him black out. Curling in on himself Carson laid his head down on the table, closing his eyes. "On second thought, just leave me here. I'm never moving out of this spot. Go on without me." Carson mumbled, slurring on a few words. Morris rolled his eyes at the melodrama and hoisted Carson up from the table to drag him to the station if need be. Despite being held up by the strong man Carson wobbled, his face growing intensely pale. Morris was afraid he was going to throw up or pass out. Carson had come to more or less the same conclusion.

People don't understand the cost of magic. If someone just let him get some god damn sleep he wouldn't be in this mess. The last time Carson felt this bad was when he performed several "miracles" with his healing abilities, in a span of three days. All in an attempt to pay for college. Which it did, all the way through graduate school. The strain it put on his body kept him in the hospital for a few days but he recovered.

Soul magic can use life energy the way you would use any other kind of energy. But that was unnatural. It took more effort and manipulation, like trying to swim up stream. Transfering it between living beings came easily. Using it to send a wave of force, move objects, or shield himself was immensely difficult. As long as he didn't take too much out of his own life force at one time he'd recover no problem, if he was given the chance.

Morris's car was parked right out front so once Carson was on his feet he started dragging him out the door, depositing him in the passenger seat of his honda civic as quickly as he could. Carson groaned, keeping one hand clutching at his head at all times.

"Fucking hell." He whined. His head was killing him. Morris turned on the AC and helped him recline his seat so he could lay down more. Carson wasn't looking forward to going to the police station. It seemed unfair to have to answer stupid questions while on the brink of death. Okay maybe not, but it sure felt like it. A few minutes later the car stopped and Carson looked up to see his own apartment building. Sitting up caused some more blood to pour out of his nose, getting on his grey shirt. Another diner napkin appeared under his nose and Carson took it, holding it there. Morris got out and walked around the car before opening the door for him. His hands felt weak but Carson managed to find his seatbelt and unbuckle it from his lap. Morris moved forward as if to help him up but Carson hissed, pinching his nose.

"Just.. give me a second."

It was more than a minute before the world stopped spinning enough for Carson to feel confident he could move. He braced one hand on the rim of the door in an effort to push himself up. Not wanting to waste any more time Morris grabbed his other arm to pulled him the rest of the way slowly. He kept one arm around his waist as they walked to the door. Carson staggered up the stairs, almost falling down a couple times. His head was pounding like crazy but he had plenty of experience trying to get into his apartment in a less than optimal state such as this one. He was known for being a bit of a lightweight. He gave the buzzer for his neighbor Daniel's apartment a quick tap four times, so he'd know it was him, instead of fishing around in his pocket for keys. The door clicked open immediately. Carson went to open it, moving a little too quickly. Pain erupted in his head again and Morris's grip on him tightened as his knees buckled momentarily.

"Alright, almost there."

Carson went back to holding his aching head with both hands and stopped trying to figure out what was going on all together. He did what any logical person would do and sank down to sit on the floor in the hallway. Someone next to him sighed and started searching his jacket pockets for house keys. Morris found it and opened the door on the first try. Carson looked up in dismay. It took him at least three tries to open that stupid door on a good day.

Morris's icy stare was long gone and his face seemed to be painted with genuine worry. For good reason too. Carson hummed to himself, keeping one hand on my aching skull while using the other one to inch forward on the floor. It was pathetic to watch really. Morris held the door open with his foot and grabbed Carson under the arms, dragging him to his feet. It felt like he was doing that a lot lately. Carson swayed and whimpered quietly, allowing himself to be guided into his apartment. The familiar dim lighting and smell of his citrus room freshener left Carson feeling tired. He was so close to his bed, he could just lay down, close his eyes...

His stomach clenched suddenly, the amount of pain in his head alone was enough to make him sick to his stomach. This type of thing happened on occasion. He spun and ducked into the bathroom to the left of the front door and slammed the door shut. Morris could hear muffled sounds of vomiting from the other side. To give him a little privacy he wandered through the large room that was Carson's entire apartment, turning his bedside lamp on and filling a glass with water.

Carson emerged from the bathroom looking especially pale and shaky. He stripped off his jacket and sweater on his way through his living room.

"Do me a favor and grab the pill bottle above the sink." Carson kicked off his boots and fell onto his bed eagerly. His head hurt just as much here as it did anywhere else, yet he was ten times more comfortable. Morris walked through the gap in the bookshelves to enter Carson's "bedroom" holding a glass of water, the pill bottle, and a box of crackers. He set it all on the nightstand.

"That's a pretty heavy duty painkiller you've got there." Morris commented with some suspicion.

"It's got my name on it doesn't it?" Carson asked dryly. It was a rhetorical question. He didn't hesitate to pop two in his mouth and swallow them down with the water. "You can go now." He added, closing his eyes.

"Drink that water and try to eat some of those crackers. I expect to see you at the station tomorrow. Don't think you're getting out of this."

"Make it Wednesday." Carson groaned. He needed sleep and he needed a lot of it. Morris growled quietly to himself and left, locking the door on his way out.

Carson pulled the curtains closed over the window above his bed. It was still midday and very sunny outside. He needed a dark, cold place to recover. It was finally getting cold enough outside that he could roll himself up in his duvet and not sweat to death. It took him a while to relax enough to actually fall asleep but once he did he sunk into a senseless oblivion.

Hybrids And Werewolves Share A Common Trait: Efficiency

What is a Werewolf but a part wolf, and a part human? Werewolves had the guile of a man and the bite of a wolf. Likewise, Frankenstein’s monster was a hotchpotch of old body parts put together with some electricity. Even the Greeks had their idea of a hybrid; it was Chimaera, had a head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a serpent. The modern equivalent of these flights of fancy is the modern gas-electric automobile called the Hybrid. Today such vehicles exist from manufacturers as diverse as Ford, Honda, and Toyota. Even BMW and Daimler-Benz are busy jointly developing Hybrids that’ll be ready for the market by 2009. And Porsche, the hallmark of racing success, is hurrying the development of a Hybrid engine for the upcoming 2007 Porsche Cayenne. With the continuous rise in gas prices, Hybrid vehicles offer the newest of the fuel-efficient technology. Soon every car maker from Mazda to Maserati will be jumping on this particular gravy train, and for good reason.

Purchasing a Hybrid today is the modern day equivalent of taking control of higher gas prices while living the Jetsons’ lifestyle. There are nine Hybrids on the market today. Toyota leads the way with the second generation Prius posting the highest fuel efficiency at the lowest cost. For MSRP of $21,725 you get efficacy of 60 mpg city/51mpg hwy. This practical, yet sophisticatedly designed four-door, five-passenger automobile makes a statement. It says “green-mobile” anywhere you go. The endless surge of energy provided by its notably silent, but frugal engine will make you feel elated as you drive mile-after-mile with the fuel gauge stuck on full, seemingly its permanent position. Additionally, its spaciously interior, exceptionally comfortable seats, outstanding build quality, and original styling makes the Toyota Prius an excellent buy in any category. The 2006 Prius is the complete Jetsons’ vehicle available today. Rejoice, as the sci-fi future we once yearned for is finally here.  

Depending on your personality, you now have the choice between a Hybrid that looks like a traditional car or not. Unlike the distinctive Toyota Prius, the Honda Accord Hybrid and the Toyota Camry Hybrid do not shout “environmentalist” by design; rather they both blends in with the environment. If you prefer the stealth mode of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, consider either the Honda Accord Hybrid, or the Toyota Camry Hybrid as your next automobile. The Accord’s luxuriously appointed cabin, with its host of luxury amenities such as retractable sunroof, navigation system and LED lights makes this Hybrid the perfect choice for those seeking a refined but economical sedan. Fuel efficiency of 29 mpg city/37 hwy and a MSRP of $30,500 make the Honda Accord Hybrid affordable as well. Similarly, the 2007 Camry Hybrid is fully equipped with all the bells and whistles, and has a brazen exterior styling. With a MSRP of $30,900 and fuel efficiency of 30 mpg city/40 hwy – the 2007 Camry Hybrid is well positioned to be Accord’s Hybrid counterpart.

If you are looking for a compact Hybrid that conserves space as well as fuel, consider Honda’s Insight or the Civic Hybrid. Both cars have cult-like followings among compact car drivers who love the lure of hybrid technology. The Insight, with a MSRP of $21,530 attains 57 mpg city/56 mpg hwy, and features a two-door/two-passenger cabin. Its sleek exterior design and the assortment of exterior colors enhance its desirability as a niche vehicle. The compact design, however, means limited storage capacity. Alternatively, the Honda Civic Hybrid at a MSRP of $21,850 is within the same price range as the Insight, and with its contemporary good looks attains a respectful 49 mpg city/51 mpg hwy. The Civic Hybrid is unique because it looks and drives like a sports car while posting outstanding fuel efficiency numbers.

For motoring enthusiasts who prefer greater towing capacity in your vehicles, there are four SUV Hybrids available in 2006. The Ford Escape Hybrid, for example, leads the way with an unprecedented 36 mpg city/31 mpg hwy at a MSRP of $26,900. The Escape Hybrid features a 155 horsepower engine and a luxuriously updated interior making this vehicle a good buy in this hotly sought after segment. The Lexus RX 400h pushes the envelope of luxury with an even more spacious interior and a powerful 3.3 Liter V6 268 horsepower engine. The four-door, five-passenger, Lexus RX 400h gets 33 mpg city/28mpg hwy, but costs considerably more than the Ford Escape with a MSRP of $44,660. The sumptuous sport utility segment is further enhanced with the presence of Mercury Mariner Hybrid with its 2.3 Liter engine that churns out 133 horsepower with a fuel efficiency of 33 mpg city/29 mpg hwy. With a MSRP of $29,225, the Mercury Mariner is competitively priced. Topping off the list is the Toyota Highlander Hybrid that features a 3.3 liter V6, 268 horsepower engine with the highest towing capacity of all hybrid SUVs. The Highlander’s attributes include a well-appointed cabin, bold exterior design, and fuel efficiency of 33 mpg city/28 mpg hwy. With a MSRP of $33,030 the Highlander is the right choice for travelers who value torque, towing capacity, and gas efficacy in their SUV Hybrid.

Hybrids no longer exist in the realm of myths or in fairy tales, but have become an integral part of our contemporary folklore. Hybrid cars and SUV’s let you explore the wide open roads of our beautiful country, the cul-de-sacs of our suburbs, and the busy streets and alleys of our towns and cities. Unlike regular engines, Hybrids offer an incredible way to save on fuel without compromising your need for living. Go ahead howl like the wolf.

Boom! Driving the $50K, 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP Is a Blast

LOS ANGELES—I can feel it—you’re ready for a fight over this car before you’ve even read the words about this 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP test drive. Just as Mini’s latest attempt at hot-hatchery has pulled no punches aesthetically, mechanically, or financially, neither shall you on social media and in group-chats, as the be-winged mega-hatch has you bowed up and wide-eyed looking for a fracas, regardless if you fly the Mini flag or not.

Reading over the crib sheet of the elaborately named 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP we tested, it’s hard to think Mini wasn’t stirring the pot on purpose. Wearing a stunning base price of $46,000, the GP soars miles over the competition, including the ever-pricey Volkswagen Golf R, which by hot-hatch standards, is priced like an Audi carved from a block of inkjet cartridges at $41,000.

Bold move, considering that’s nearly $10,000 dearer than the sublime, 10-outta-10, does-it-get-any-better-than-this Honda Civic Type R, and a little more than $15,000 more costly than the nearly-as-good Hyundai Veloster N w/ Performance Pack. While it’s a nearly a foregone conclusion that no, you’re not getting almost $50,000 worth of car with the 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP, let’s break down just what kind of firepower arrives when that $46,000, or more, leaves your savings.

2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP Test Drive: Small Car, Massive Power

The 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP is certainly not down on power, if power is what you crave. The GP’s 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the same BMW-sourced B48 heart plucked from stablemates Mini Countryman JCW and Clubman JCW, along with the controversial BMW M235i Gran Coupe. It puts out the same 301 horsepower and mighty 332 lb-ft of torque present in the aforementioned source materials, through the front wheels. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the GP’s sole gearbox option, as neither BMW nor Mini possess a manual transmission for front-wheel-drive applications strong enough for the GP’s prodigious power.

Elsewhere, the GP is hunkered down, stripped-out, stiffened-up, and generally put on a crash diet of amphetamines and energy drinks. Compared to the Type R, Golf R, and Veloster N, the GP is decidedly old-school in its chassis configuration, but don’t interpret that as a suggestion that it’s any duller. Where the rest of the aforementioned hot-hatch field offers adaptive suspensions, the Mini scoots around on a fixed multi-link setup with proprietary springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars when compared to the rest of the two-door Cooper family. The track is also wider, along with unique chassis bracing that includes underbody reinforcement and a big red stabilizer bar spread across where the rear seats are supposed to be.

Yes, in the name of lightness, the rear seats are yanked out in favor of that glossy red crossmember, and if you think this is aesthetically aggressive, wait until you see what Mini did to the exterior. The first thing you’ll notice before you even go on a test drive of the 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP are those fantastically controversial fender blades cut from the leftover carbon-fiber trimmings of BMW i3 and i8 production, with the front blades proudly wearing each specific GP’s serial number. They protrude far enough from the body to be moderately functional for airflow direction and to help legalize the GP’s wide track, and they look absolutely fantastic. You’ll find “bucking the trend” to be a common theme on the GP, and the blades give the little two-door hatch a distinctive street presence and visual pull on par with a bright purple Lamborghini.

Ignoring the blank space where the seats are supposed to be, the GP-specific changes are less obvious inside than the exterior bedazzling. Aside from GP’s unique seats, the only significant differentiation seems to be the 3D-printed, metal shift paddles and centerline trim on the steering wheel. Elsewhere, there’s GP branding on the passenger-side dash embossed with that specific GP’s serial number.

2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP Test Drive: Visual Aggression

Those carbon slats, along with the roof-mounted rear wing, red-accented front fascia, dropped suspension, and tidy little four-spoke wheels, give the GP an unusually aggressive squat; it’s a musclebound appearance not often associated with either Minis or small hatchbacks. It’s a good thing there’s enough gumption to back up these visual provocations, especially as these wings, wheels, and graphics will make you a prime target on both the highway and the backroad of your choice.

While the GP’s hopped-up four-pot is far from the most powerful four-cylinder on the market, it punches significantly above its output in both speed and sensation. Discussing modern Minis as they relate to size and mass is a strange subject, as the current Mini two-door is hardly a recognizable progeny of the lilliputian Austin Mini Cooper of the 1960s. However, considering the GP floats above the scales at 2,855 pounds compared to an industry average weight that hovers somewhere around the 3,700-pound mark, it’s fair to say the GP is certainly “mini” for its time.

Speaking of 3,700 pounds—that’s what the mighty Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 weighs, and that car still scurries like a roach when the light flips on despite packing only 82 additional horsepower to offset the extra 850 pounds compared to the Mini GP. Of course, the Merc’s dual-clutch transmission and advanced all-wheel-drive drivetrain is head-and-shoulders above the GP’s traditional automatic transmission and front-driven wheels, but the skinny GP pulls harder at highway speeds than the AMG without that extra flab dragging it down.

2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP Test Drive: Violence, Thy Name Is Torque Steer

On the charge, it feels like the new Mini GP even out-pulls the similarly svelte Type R and Veloster; unsurprising, as the GP still undercuts those two by around 250 pounds. Notice I’m specifying when and where the GP excels; explore the GP’s power band from a dig, and you’d better have a free lane on either side of the car to manage the outrageous amount of torque steer that erupts through the front axles.

Based purely on physical feedback, the new GP is just about the most violently accelerating new car I’ve test driven in quite some time. Even in nitro-blasted turbo-javelins like the Mustang Shelby GT500 and McLaren 720S, those 700-plus ponies are managed mostly by the onboard systems, provided you leave the requisite toggle switches alone. On smooth, unbroken pavement, you might feel some minor hops, skips, and a slight list to one side, but it’s mostly a safe-ish endeavor provided you’re not a complete moron. Lay into the throttle in the GP, and you run the very real risk of hopping lanes if you’re not prepared, traction control be damned.

Even at 60 or 70 mph, the front end will dart around like a spooked rabbit, while the steering wheel is wrenched from your hand like video game haptics gone rogue. Every 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP comes fitted with a mechanical limited-slip diff, but it feels about as open as Wyoming’s wilderness when you go deeper than quarter-throttle. Unsettling and obnoxious for some, but exciting for others—including myself. The current generation of hot hatches are all buttoned down and pure business—aside from excellent handling, punchy acceleration, and snappy shifters, manufacturers have successfully blurred the lines between serious performance cars and scrappy hopped-up econoboxes. Cars like the Civic Type R are great fun on both road and racetrack, but can take things a little too seriously.

2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP Test Drive: Serious Car, Serious Fun

Meanwhile, the GP’s ethos is a bit more convoluted; considering the position of the regular Mini two-door hardtop as a premium BMW-lite hatch, it was never econoboxy to begin with. It cuts out the usable, dual-purpose middleman and settles nicely in the “hardcore” category, scribbling “hot hatch” on its name tag simply as a formality. If duality is one of the things you value in this segment, keep walking—with that large stabilizer bar stretched out over where the rear seats are supposed to be, good luck using this car for anything other than the occasional move and conservative grocery store runs.

In place of practicality, the GP dials up the aggression. With fat, sticky Hankook tires and the short 98.2-inch wheelbase, it carves through some of Malibu’s tighter and more technical roads with more mechanical grip and poise than some rear- or all-wheel drive sports cars. Better yet, even if you obfuscated the lofty price or told me it falls somewhere in the low 30s, it still feels genuinely special to drive. You sit low in the car in a pair of aggressive leather seats, backed only by the cavernous rear that adds a noticeable boominess to the cabin, especially as those gluey Hankooks scavenge rocks and debris from the road. Through the tighter stuff, it hangs on like hot chewing gum and scrambles out of corner exits like a dog straining at the leash.

You know what it feels like? It feels like a hot hatch designed by BMW M Division engineers, and that’s only partially due to BMW serving as Mini’s parent company. If the Veloster N is what happens if you let a former M engineer—in that case, Albert Biermann—design a three-door that apes M-products from the early-to-late 2000s, then this is the pint-sized front-wheel-drive reflection of M as it exists today. Everything about the drive is sharp almost to a fault, with heavy inputs, harsh ride, and questionable traction, much like it is in a current-generation BMW M4, and to a lesser degree in an M2. Only in this case, it takes ascetic cues from the M4 CS, with its aggressively decontented interior and sky-high price tag.

2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP: Let’s Talk Price

Oh yeah—that price. Alright, the $46,000 tag is going to be a real humdinger to defend even partially, but let’s try to do it, anyway. Look, I don’t care what you think of Mini as a brand, but the BMW blood flows thick and true through each and every new car to wear the winged Mini crest, GP included. This doesn’t mean it’s particularly luxurious or well-appointed, but for the most part, the materials, design, fit, finish, and aesthetics are at least a smidge more upscale and premium when compared to similarly sized cars.

I know this seems kind of weak, especially since the 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP is priced way above the no-argument best-in-segment Type R, but to the right kind of buyer, the GP has cache the Type R can never match. Think of it like this: You’d have a hell of time explaining why the Type R is worth almost $40,000 to your parents, so imagine what excuses the Mini stalwarts are trying to come up with when their neighbor asks if they were able to get a good deal on their new loud, low, two-seat hatchback.

This is a classic case of, you either get it or you don’t. I think that’s fine, and I bet Mini does too, especially since there’s only ever going to be 3,000 third-gen GPs produced, and the order book likely won’t sit empty for long, especially as deliveries have already begun. The 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP might not be as usable, comfortable, or affordable as the competition—or even come with a manual transmission—but it’s a widened, winged, whipped-up box of absurd fun. Isn’t that the entire point in the first place?

2020 Acura NSX review: The softer side of supercars

2020 Acura NSX review: The softer side of supercars

It’s a wide boi.

Andrew Krok/Roadshow

Supercars are supposed to miss the forest for the trees. These ragged-edge cars focus so intently on high-speed performance and high-cost trimmings that they’re often tough to truly utilize on a daily basis, relegating them to weekend warriors at best. But not the 2020 Acura NSX. This Japanese scalpel is more than ready to rumble on a backroad, but it carries a softness that gives the car more than enough pliancy to make for a quality grocery-getter, albeit one that’s a bit over equipped for the task.

No Individual mode

Before I even get behind the wheel of the 2020 Acura NSX, I’m hit with that familiar kind of supercar weird-for-the-sake-of-being-weird-ness. On approach, the thin door handles pop out to greet me, which is a fun parlor trick. Thankfully, the doors open in the normal direction, as the NSX has absolutely no problem turning heads without bringing atypical hinges and butterfly doors into the equation.

With interesting angles in every direction, from flying buttresses out back to the aggressive front bumper, the NSX is like most other supercars in that it’s damn near impossible to blend in anywhere. Even beyond the show-off styling, my tester’s $6,000 Valencia Red Pearl paint job isn’t about to let that happen.

First impressions come quickly after sliding past the NSX’s door. Despite the body’s relative position to terra firma, the seating position is a little higher than I expect, giving me a greater feeling of normalcy than I encounter in, say, a McLaren or a Lamborghini. Visibility is quite good in most directions, with loads of forward sight (thanks in part to way-thin A-pillars) and superb blind-spot coverage from the mirrors that sprout from the body like antennae. The view out back is fine, considering there’s an engine a few inches behind me. Be mindful of the sun’s position, though: Too many direct rays from ol’ Sol and the front windshield begins to resemble a cheese grater thanks to serious reflections of the massive speaker grille below. It can be really annoying, especially in spirited driving or slow-speed neighborhoods where children and squirrels are likely to be in the street.

Overall, the NSX’s interior quality feels worth the $150,000+ cost of admission. Soft leather covers most of the dashboard, door panels, center tunnel and steering wheel, and what isn’t made from the smooth stuff is bedecked in carbon fiber (a $2,500 option) and satin aluminum. The small bit of piano black trim on the transmission controls, which should be very familiar to most recent Honda or Acura owners, is the only part of the interior that feels a little low-rent, and only then it’s because of its propensity to accumulate finger grime. The cup holders are small and only attach to a slot on the center console, but you can tuck them into the diminutive glove compartment when not in use. Other storage comes by way of wallet-sized slots in the door panels, a key- (and mask-) sized slot in the center console and a small hinged cubby against the rear firewall that houses the USB port. It’s tight, like many supercars, but there’s still a decent amount of room for my 6-foot frame to get comfortable.

Most mid-engined supercars throw owners a storage bone by way of front and rear trunks. But not the NSX — electric motors and other hardware live under the hood, so the only cargo storage is located aft of the engine. Not only is the trunk small, its proximity to the twin-turbo V6 means whatever goes back there has to be heat-tolerant. Put your bags of ice in the passenger-side footwell.

All of those silly concerns melt away from the second I push the start button. Just behind my head, the 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 growls itself awake before quickly settling into a quieter idle, something neighbors are bound to appreciate. A push of the Drive button puts the nine-speed dual-clutch transmission to work, which provides just a smidgeon of slip as first gear engages.

In the default Sport mode, the NSX proves to me that it can absolutely function as a daily driver. Despite lacking air or McLaren’s complicated hydraulics, the NSX’s static suspension is surprisingly comfortable, soaking up a wide variety of bumps and humps without unsettling the car or its occupants. The chassis’ inherent stiffness remains obvious, but the ride is far smoother than I went in expecting.

Small issues with the cabin disappear completely once the speedometer starts to rise.

Andrew Krok/Roadshow

Gear shifts are unobtrusive, and in low-rev situations, the V6 (which produces 500 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque on its own) is content to putter along quietly — if it’s even running at all. In Quiet mode, the NSX will use its small battery to operate like any other hybrid, silently hustling along under electric power alone — Sport offers electric-only operation, too, but in more limited quantities. The V6 cuts in and out with little, if any jostling in the cabin. It’s Prius smooth, in a good way.

Twist the mode knob to Sport Plus, and the NSX emits some sort of magic substance that causes me to forget about literally anything that isn’t the car or the road directly ahead of it. I feel the frenetic energy start to rise as the engine dramatically increases its volume at all times, even though it’s a little meh on the tonal front at lower revs. The V6 calls on the help of three electric motors — two up front, one out back — to generate a net 573 hp and 476 lb-ft. As you’d expect, the electric motors absolutely assault me with torque at a moment’s notice, and it’s really evident in tight corners, where the front axle helps pull me through as Continental SportContact performance tires grip the pavement. It’s easy to approach a corner with more speed than expected, but thankfully, it’s also easy to shuffle out the other side. Between those points, optional carbon-ceramic rotors ($10,600!) will scrub speed with both excellent modulation and impressive haste, over and over again. It’s impossible not to have fun in the 2020 NSX.

My only real gripe here is that I wish I could mix and match the modes. I get it, Acura put these modes together to make sure the car exemplifies whatever it’s after, but if I really wanted to daily drive this car, I’d want the engine constantly in Sport Plus with the suspension in Quiet. Why the hell can’t I have that?

You never really hear the NSX’s turbochargers spool up until you really glom on the throttle, then it’s all you’ll hear.

Andrew Krok/Roadshow

One thing that Acura has in common with every other supercar manufacturer is its middling-at-best infotainment system. Ripped straight from, oh, every single Honda Civic on the dealership lot, the NSX’s 7-inch head unit packs suction-cupped-Garmin-era graphics, just-OK response time and limited functionality. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are on offer, which means it’s pretty easy to ignore the standard setup altogether. The motif changes from red to blue depending on vehicle mode, but I kind of wish Acura could have put its own unique spin on this — or at least upgraded the 2020 NSX to the most recent (and prettier) version found on the Odyssey and other large adult Hondas. The gauge cluster is entirely digital, too, and while it’s weird that it’s tilted away from my eyes, it provides me with all the data I could possibly ask for. It’s easy to mess around with, too, thanks to super-simple scrollers on the steering wheel.

As for safety systems, you get… parking sensors. And non-adaptive cruise control. Want anything else? Buy a TLX.

With a starting price of $159,495 after destination, the 2020 Acura NSX is almost competing with two separate classes of high-performance vehicle. On the one side, you have the hardcore non-supercars like the Porsche 911 Turbo, the Mercedes-AMG GT R or, if you don’t need a six-figure window sticker, the mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette, all of which are excellent cars, but all of which lack the “What was that?” emotional appeal of proper supercars. Speaking of which, the NSX is positioned against some big names here, too, like the Audi R8 and, if you want to drop another $30k, the McLaren 570S. Those cars are more along the lines of the NSX, but they’re also a fair bit sharper than the Acura, too.

When a car is engineered with performance at the top of the masthead, comfort has to be put back ­­into it. Sometimes it requires complex components, other times it just doesn’t happen very well. But the 2020 Acura NSX does an excellent job blending daily usability and performance in a way that other supercars don’t. Does it leave a little bit of skidpad rating on the table? Sure. But I’ll be damned if you can find a more entertaining way to commute in comfort.

2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback First Drive: The Unexpected

The boring, spacious, and slow U.S.-market Toyota Corolla sedan has a vibrant European cousin that carries none of those traits. New for 2019, the Corolla hatchback reverses traditional Corolla sedan weaknesses in a package that could change consumers’ opinions about the decades-strong nameplate, for better and worse.

Known elsewhere as the Auris (and the replacement for the Corolla iM here), the 2019 Corolla hatchback is one of the most attractive cars in its segment. That pissed-off front styling you’ve seen all over the automotive universe is realized effectively on the sharp Corolla hatch—whether you get the SE or sportier XSE trim—with cool fangs on the lower front fascia and standard LED headlights. Around back the creased sheetmetal is interestingly shaped, except it’s not sheetmetal. The hatch is composed of a resin that allows for more complex surfacing, Toyota claims.

It’s been a very long time since the Corolla could truly be called sporty, but this hatchback takes steps in that direction. Built on Toyota’s TNGA platform and riding on a sport-tuned suspension, the 2019 Corolla hatch has moves that place it in another class of responsiveness and fun above the American-market sedan. It’s no Civic Type R, of course, nor is that the Corolla hatchback’s mission. But with 168 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, the car has just enough oomph to keep things interesting. Anyone put off by the Corolla sedan’s lethargic responses should drive the hatch.

Then again, anyone who appreciates the Corolla sedan’s interior spaciousness will be put off by the Corolla hatch’s disappointingly small interior. The hatch lacks the class-above spaciousness we’ve come to expect from the Civic and Elantra GT hatchbacks; passenger volume is well below that of hatchbacks from Honda, Hyundai, and Volkswagen. If you compare it to the outgoing iM, well, it’s smaller than that, too. There’s a respectable though not class-leading 18.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats, which is about even with the Volkswagen Golf but not as stuff-friendly as the Honda or Hyundai.

That’s OK, though, as there should be more to #HatchbackLife than the primary mission of being more versatile than a sedan. The Corolla hatch drives well, with a lowered center of gravity and 60 percent more torsional rigidity than its predecessor. The steering communicates more on the XSE model, which rolls on 18-inch wheels and 225/40R18 tires compared to the base SE’s 16s and 205/55R16 rubber. And although you do feel bumps, the XSE shouldn’t prove tiresome as a daily driver. Speaking of which, the updated CVT is still the better choice for commuting, but the also-available rev-matching six-speed manual can—at the push of a button—subtly smooth out gear changes. Cool. As for that CVT, it has a physical launch gear and simulated gears for those who worry about the rubber-band feel of a CVT. Those simulated gear changes mostly stay in the background, only occasionally messing with the key benefit of CVTs: everyday smoothness.

Inside, a decent amount of the 2019 Corolla hatch is covered in soft-touch surfaces, and drivers will have good front and side visibility; you can improve the view out back by folding down the rear-seat outboard headrests. (Thanks for that functionality, Toyota.) An 8.0-inch touchscreen sits atop the dash on every Corolla hatchback, with standard Apple CarPlay (but not Android Auto just yet). Corolla SE hatchbacks get a more basic but acceptable instrument cluster with a vertical 4.2-inch display on the right side, whereas XSEs get a more modern 7.0-inch central digital display flanked by analog gauges. The system’s welcome animation is fun, and the screen’s blue speedometer/info-display combination looks sharp, but the digital mode doesn’t use enough of the screen’s width, making it feel like it’s not much more than the SE’s vertical-screen graphics on a larger display. If we had an XSE, we’d just enjoy it in analog mode.

As much as we like the Corolla hatchback’s Blue Flame paint complementing the XSE’s bold rear spoiler and other exterior upgrades, many potential customers will stick with the SE. Even at that trim, Toyota throws in a bunch of standard equipment. Besides the standard LED headlights and 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, the SE hatch also includes a leather steering wheel and an electric parking brake with auto brake hold (at that one annoyingly long red light you encounter every day, the car will hold the brakes until you touch the accelerator, when it automatically and smoothly releases). Because this is a Toyota, a full package of active safety tech is also thrown in: automatic emergency braking, lane departure mitigation, full-speed adaptive cruise control (or down to 15 mph on manuals), and a system that can read certain road signs such as speed limits and stop or yield signs. Blind-spot monitoring is available on the automatic-transmission SE and standard on the two-pedal XSE.

Regardless of which Corolla hatch you get, it’s going to be a different driving experience compared to the aging sedan. Toyota’s latest compact hatchback class excels more at emotionally driven consideration points than practicality, an interesting choice in a surprisingly crowded segment that itself competes with subcompact crossovers. If you find yourself wanting a small hatch and a cozy interior isn’t a deal-breaker, give the Toyota a try before you drive away in a more spacious car like the strangely styled Civic hatch or the value-focused Elantra GT.

The beyond the Odyssey profits the now-knowledgeable “traveling wing” grille introduced through the Honda Civic. However, associated with its stainless lines and wrinkles, energetic grille shutters will close up and ready to accept improve overall performance when traveling a car. Available Led front side lighting fixtures and taillights lend to some excellent look as compared to the latest vehicle.

2018 Honda Odyssey Redesign

The 2018 Odyssey marks the creation of Honda’s newest infotainment method, and then in every cut with the exception of the basic LX, it is crisply provided upon an 8.0-inches touch-screen screen.
