Joaquin Torres, the youngest recognized Avenger to date, is doing his best to survive the experience. Between recovering from his injuries, dealing with the B's, and his own self-destructive tendencies, he feels like he's doing just fine.
Peter Parker isn't even twenty years old just yet, comparatively barely functioning, while experiencing terribly inconvenient "Blank Outs," and doing his best to pretend the room hasn't already burned down around him. With nothing and no one left and a whole host of avoidant behaviors, he's doing just... fine.
Only one of them is properly nailing "I'm Fine" as a personality trait, and spoiler, it ain't Peter. Somehow, he still manages everything. Just, you know, by himself. Which, in Joaquin's book, is a great reason to insist they get dinner. Though, really, everything is a great reason to get dinner in Joaquin's book.
