Things were getting better for Peter, he was slowly becoming more hungry and to his relief he never lacked food and although guilt still struck every time he grabbed even the smallest of snacks he persevered.

He was grateful for Tony who was everything that Peter could have dreamed and more but he missed  May because despite her abusive nature he knew that deep down she did love him despite the beatings and all the pain Peter still sort of loved her too.

Deciding he needed a break, he decided to sneak out, he climbed out his window and leaped of the tower, wind rushed past him, whistling in his ears, he missed this , being Spiderman he lifted his mask up past his mouth to take in a breath of fresh air and as the ground drew near something was amiss. Peter noticed that his descent had slowed quite a bit and looked around in surprise as he eventually ended up hovering in the air.

Loki was having a bad day, ever since he had attacked earth or rather been forced to do it, everyone saw him as nothing but a violent villain. He had saved a child that morning, she was midway across the road and a truck was speeding straight towards her and he had raised her into the air, effectively saving her life only to be called a villain and accused of attempting to harm the girl.

The girl was young and Loki was sure that she hadn't been aware of the danger of her own situation so Loki just disappeared as he knew that he would never be forgiven for attacking earth, nobody would ever trust the 'God of Mischief' but then again that wasn't new it had been exactly the same in Asgard, Loki resigned himself to his fate.

A few hours later he found himself heading towards the avengers tower, he thought that maybe seeing his brother might improve his mood slightly, even if he would never publicly admit it, as he was walking he saw something odd, what appeared to be a young boy dressed in spider pajamas was falling from the tower. As much as loki hated playing hero he couldn't help himself as deep inside he just wanted to be accepted by people, but time and time again his attempts have all been futile as people refuse to believe that we was, in fact capable of good.

He stopped the spider, boy's fall only to be surprised by his words. The boy seemed to confused as to why he had stopped falling when he noticed Loki, he seemed to have come to a realization and loki prepared for the boy to accuse him of some fault or crime but he simply greeted him politely, "hello Mr. Loki" said the boy with a small wave he glanced at his predicament before adding "what's hanging" with a small laugh.

Loki was dumbstruck "umm hi" he said awkwardly, setting the boy down on the ground  softly, "thanks for the catch but i was fine" said the boy with a smile

Loki, regaining his wits said, "falling 93 stories on to the sidewalk isn't what i'd consider to be fine''

"Well anyway i did get caught by the famous Loki" said the boy slightly embarrassed

"Famous huh, i really was quite a villain i guess, maybe that's why they hate me" said Loki with a distant smile

"That's not true Mr. Loki you were being controlled, i saw it, plus you helped the avengers, you're a hero." argued the boy seemingly hurt by Loki's words, "Plus you are so cool, you can literally use magic"

Loki was surprised, he couldn't believe what he had just heard, somebody actually understood him, he made a mental note to look over this child and left a small imprint of his magic on the child. Suddenly he heard the familiar sound of thrusters

"I'm sorry to interrupt you two but Spidey, you're coming with me" said an all too smug tin can

Before the vigilante had a chance to even retort loki stepped in front of him protectively, "No."

Tony was surprised he didn't know that the god of mischief knew the spider "Loki, fury just wants to question him," he tried to be reassuring

Unwilling to converse Loki raised his arms and activated his magic planning to disappear with the spider however things never seem to go to plan.

-------Peter------

Peter was happy until he showed up, he loved Mr. Stark but he was getting tired of being hunted every single time that he was out as Spiderman, he was about to make his escape when his spider-sense rang wildly indicating danger from Tony's suit. 

Peter initially thought it was an attack however, he noticed a small device implanted on the armor, pulsing slightly.

"Mr. Stark NOO!" he shouted, diving towards him, he ripped off the gauntlet part of his armour and threw it into the air however just after it left his hand an explosion shook the air sending them all flying back, Tony had been on the ground, confused by the spider's actions, Loki had luckily been further away but peter wasn't that lucky the explosion sent him flying and he slammed against a wall, the lower part of his suit was covered in blood and burns.

---------------

Amidst the chaos a figure approached the fallen spider, lifting him over his shoulder and walking away, as stealthily as he came, he whispered into his mouth-piece "Target secured" Metal glinted from underneath his sleeve striking a dazed Tony in the face, it didn't strike him yet however as he was still shocked by a sudden realization.

He knew who the spider was
