Chapter Thirty-Six

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Okay, Peter, you can start your presentation now," the teacher said.

Peter began talking to the class about our mythology. He got Loki to demonstrate his powers, earning gasps of awe from the class. Then he got to the part about Sigyn.

"Now, in the mythology, Sigyn is Loki's wife. This is wrong because-" Peter began, but his teacher cut him off.

"No, Sigyn is Loki's wife," the teacher said.

"No, Peter is correct," Loki said. "I never wed Sigyn, nor did I have any type of romantic relations with her."

The teacher looked slightly taken aback.

"Er, alright then. Continue, Peter," the teacher said.

Peter continued on with his presentation. Once he was finished, Loki and I stayed to watch the other kids.

Were schools on Asgard like this? I asked Loki telepathically.

I'm not sure. I was tutored, like my brother, Loki told me.

I didn't go to school, I said. Hydra had people tutor me, too.

Loki growled faintly and I placed a hand on his knee. Soon enough, the class ended, and we exited with Peter.

"What have you got now?" I asked Peter.

"Free period," Peter said. "I have to get a guardian to sign me out to go home, though, so I'm just going to hang out in the library."

"Do you want to go home?" I asked.

Peter narrowed his eyes at me and nodded his head slowly.

"I'll call Tony," I said.

Peter blushed.

"There – there's n-no need for Mr Stark to-"

"He would love to come and pick you up," I said, dialling the number.

Tony picked up just before it went to voicemail.

"You were just looking at the phone that whole time, weren't you?" I stated.

"Maybe, or maybe not. What's up?" Tony asked.

"Can you come to Peter's school to let him out? He has a free period now and it's the last period of the day," I said.

"Why didn't the kid call me?" Tony asked, sounding slightly disappointed.

"He didn't want to cause a fuss," I said.

"Oh. Yeah, I'll come. I need to show him his new suit, anyway," Tony said. "Hold on, I'll just let May know and I'll be there in a few minutes."

Tony hung up after saying goodbye.

"Tony's coming to get you," I said.

I got a text and looked down at my phone. I groaned and swore.

"What?" Peter and Loki asked.

"Sam and Bucky hijacked our ride," I moaned, flopping into Loki. "They had my leftover chips!"

Loki rubbed my back comfortingly while Peter cocked his head.

Loki and I waited with Peter for him to get picked up. We got a lot of stares and eventually students plucked up the courage to ask for photos. We took quite a few photos. I could tell that Loki secretly loved the attention.

The sound of a rumbling engine made everyone pause. We all looked to the front doors of the school. A minute later, Tony Stark walked in. People flocked to him and some people squealed. Tony reached the receptionist's desk and smiled.

"I'm here to sign out Peter Parker," he said.

The receptionist nodded shakily and handed Tony a clipboard and pen. Tony signed the paper and then clapped Peter on the back.

"Let's go, Pete," Tony said.

He then glanced and Loki and I.

"What are you two still doing here?" he asked.

"Sam and Bucky hijacked our car," I mumbled.

Tony rolled his eyes.

"I'll give you a ride," he said.

Loki, Peter, and I all followed Tony out of the school. Loki and I got in the backseat while Peter got in the front.

"Sir, you have to get to the tower immediately. It's an emergency," Friday said through the speakers of the car.

Loki and I glanced at each other warily. What was going on? Tony stepped on the gas and got us to the tower in record time. We all got in the elevator and Friday took us to the lounge. When the doors opened, we walked in to see Thor pacing and the rest of the Avengers with grave looks on their faces.

"Brother," Thor said grimily when he spotted Loki.

"What is wrong?" Loki asked, standing in front of me protectively.

"Thanos," Thor said. "Thanos is coming."
