Midtown High School…

Classroom: XII-S…

As he is feeling hungry Bruce decided to head towards the cafeteria for his lunch+Breakfast because he is feeling really hungry while Jean decided to join him as well.

"Do you live alone at home? " Jean asked with a smile looking at Bruce who is walking beside her with a relaxed face as if the matter of this world doesn't concern him at all.

"Yes, my parents are not here so I need to live alone. " Bruce said honestly not thinking much about it after all he has already made plans for his next step so he isn't much worried about anything but lunch because he is feeling really hungry right now and eating with a relaxed atmosphere and worry-free mind can help you digest your food better without leaving behind any kind of good parts of the foods you eat and if you are calm your body will help you have the best parts of the food you eat and it will automatically remove the parts that are harmful to you although he doesn't have his mighty body from Dragon Ball anymore he still has his memory and all the experience from that world.

So it's very easy for him to relax his body and mind to bring out its best potential for his lunch and while he is nearing the cafeteria he is making his body more relaxed by every step what more he walking with Jean who is a stunningly charming girl among all the students in the school which is also helping his getting relaxed because walking with beauty is always relaxing even if she is your enemy although you need to use Ultra Instinct from time to time just to stay safe however you are still walking with beauty but right now Jean is a girl who is a little crazy that is all and the good part is that she seems to like him and he didn't feel any kind of negative emotion aimed at him by her so he really felt relaxed walking with her.

"It must be hard for you to live alone all by yourself right? " Jean seems to be concerned about him since she is reliant on her parents and she is unable to think of the possibility of leaving and going somewhere unfamiliar all by herself however if she were to be accompanied by Bruce that is a completely different story while she is even unable to think of doing that here Bruce is doing what she is most afraid of and thought while looking at Bruce with a serious gaze 'Is this the difference between Man and Women???'

"No it's alright I am used to it. " Bruce said shaking his head in denial as much as he wants his parents to be with him he knows they will be in danger if they were to arrive in New York because in Marvel Universe most of the crisis took birth from this city besides he won't be able to train if his family were to stay with him although he loves and deeply cares for them he also wants to surmount his previous peak as soon as possible.

"Really you don't feel lonely without them? " Jean asked with a curious face after all she learned he had gotten used to living alone all by himself.

"It's fine I get to talk with them every day besides whenever I feel lonely I give them a video call. " Bruce said with a carefree smile and finally they arrived at the cafeteria when he asked her "Well enough about me why don't you tell me about yourself? "

"My life is a little ordinary except I am the only child of my parents and… " Jean started telling Bruce about her parents, her house, and some more insignificant matters but she never told him about her illness because she is afraid he will feel fear from her. [When I say illnesses it is actually her mutant Power I am calling it illnesses because until she and her parents meet Magnito and Xavier they thought it was an illness and secretly they are trying to find a cure for Jean to become a normal human. ]

While talking with one another they heard a shout from the door of the cafeteria "Bruce??? "

"Peter? " upon hearing his name called Bruce and Jean turned to look at the boy with glassed and discovered another boy who is a little fat beside him and asked with a curious face "And who is this friend of yours over here? "

"Peter you weren't lying when you said you became friends with the most popular boy in the school this morning. Now we are also going to be popular. " the fat boy beside Peter said with an excited face in a low volume but Bruce and Jean clearly heard him without missing a single word because the distance isn't that big among them.

"Wow, that was quite weird? " Jean commented in a low tone only she and Bruce can hear.

"…" while Bruce didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this guy who wants to get popular because of becoming friends with him while thinking 'When was I that amazing???? As much as ai remember I had never had a friend before I arrived here myself… '

"Ned you will make us look like fools if you say that out in the public. " Peter said with a low tone but Bruce and Jean still heard him loud and clear while not comprehending if he is trying to advise Ned or make fun of himself.

"You are right we need to be more careful from next time. " Ned said with q serious face as he turned toward Bruce and Jean who acted like they didn't hear them but inside they were thinking if knowing this two is a right thing or not but thinking Peter is the future spider one of his favorite heroes Bruce decided to become friends with them but the thing confused him is that he doesn't recognize this guy beside him is Ned, not Harry although he knows whi Ned is and isn't confused about him being Peter's friend however he wants to know about Harry however he decided to not ask about it now because tike will disclose everything.

As if making a tactical understanding between themselves Peter introduced and to Bruce " Bruce meet my best friend Ned Leeds and this …."
