Summer vacation meant little to a child of Asgard (if he could even call himself such). It did, however, mean that there was an extra occupant in Avenger’s tower, not that Loki had seen much of him. After all, Parker was always busy with Stark and Stark was not a fan of the God of Mischief in any form. He didn’t imagine that he’d be speaking with the other boy any time soon, and certainly not at half past midnight on a Tuesday.

He was hungry, and the kitchen was stocked with a wonderful array of Midgardian snacks. Sure Asgard had magic, but did they have poptarts? Yet he hadn’t even gotten through the living room before stopping dead in his tracks. It was hard to tell who stood leaning against the counter with their face in their hand, but the science pun on his shirt kind of gave it away.

     “Er...Peter? Don’t tell me somebody ate all the poptarts...”

“Ya know, I could be in Maui right now. Got invited to the ribbon-cutting of a very nice resort. Star-studded thing, drinks and press, the whole shebang. But instead I’m here, babysitting a fourteen year old. So tell me what the gloomy face is for or I’m shipping you back to your aunt and hopping on the next flight. Hell, maybe I’ll invite her to come with me.”

It had been some time since he’d gotten to see the spider, in person anyways. Loki had been stuck in the tower far too long for his liking (almost a week now) and he was past due for a little adventure. So when Stark holed himself up in his lab, the trickster set his plans into motion. His ‘plans’ being simply to override Stark’s surveillance tech and sneak out the window.

He was on the ground in moments, and on a bus not long after. Downtown, the streets were still lit up, but there were plenty of deserted alleys and that’s where the boy set his sights. Thus far everything had been uneventful, aside from one attempted mugging (the attacker had mysteriously ran away from his intended victim, however, screaming something about a monster...). Yet Loki knew he’d find him sooner or later. 

It was sooner, and the webslinger was simply surveying the city below. Quietly, Loki settled to perch beside him, watching the same view.

“Nice night, huh?” He announced cheerfully, smirking over at the other. “Wanna come over after beating up some bad guys? It’s Friday, after all. I don’t know if you’ve heard but one has to get down on such days. Presumably, down from these heights.”

Night in New York was almost the most wondrous thing he’d ever seen. True, the city never slept, but there was something enchanting about seeing all life transform into blurs and pinpricks of light in the dark. Loki had taken to the rooftops for the past few nights, bored with his captivity (called ‘babysitting’ by Tony). It was better than spending too long on the internet, no matter how many funny cat videos he found...

Still, there was still the not-so-enchanting to be found in shaded alleys where people were preyed on like animals. A woman’s scream echoed in the night, and Loki moved to get a better vantage, running through spells in his mind all the while. Once he finally peeked over the nearest ledge, however, he head a different scream. That of a man who had just had his arm bent backwards by someone in a red and blue suit. Not cap...definitely not my brother...it’s him! The Spiderman he had heard of but not seen once was just below, slinging webs and quite impressively handling a man twice his size.

Silently the boy watched as the criminal was webbed to the nearest wall. He followed as the spider climbed off to a nearby rooftop...muttering something (did he say ‘Karen’?) before pulling something from his backpack. And that was his cue.

     “Is that one of those churro things??”

“Hey, kid, you gonna see that...the clown. It? You know, the original was out before you were even a thought.”

God I can’t believe I just said that, how old am I again?
