POV: Peter
"So... what's your social studies test on, Spiderling?" Loki asked, sipping his tea. I laid out my papers and study guides on the coffee table, moving my hot chocolate mug out of the way.
"World War Two. That's why I was asking you to help, Mr. Rogers," I said, remembering a video they'd shown us at school. "You did the war bonds thing, right? They showed us-"
I cast the video to the TV, which starts playing A Star-Spangled Man With A Plan and him talking with a non-frisbee looking shield. He pales and covers his face while his friend Bucky watches with a mix of confusion and fascination. Loki bursts out laughing.
"This is what you did before you hid the Tesseract?" He said, setting his mug down to keep it from spilling. Screen Cap punches a Hitler actor in the face.
"Peter, please turn it off," real Cap says next to me, hiding his face in his hands. I do and put my phone in my pocket.
"What was that?" Bucky said.
"Midgardian idiocy," Loki explains simply, sipping his tea. "Anyways, you said you needed help studying, Spiderling?"
"Oh. Yeah. I need to know a bunch of junk for a test and there's a kahoot so I thought we'd all play it and see who wins," I said. Mr. Rogers looked confused.
"A... Kahoot? What's-"
"YoU hAvEn'T dOnE kAhOoT?!?" I took out my phone and cast the code to the TV. "It's only the most nostalgic thing ever!"
"Kid, there didn't used to be internet-" Mr. Bucky said. I ignored him.
"Alright the code's 309 2375 274 so you can just put it in the join code box and give yourself a username-"
"It won't let me keep typing," Loki said, tapping his phone. I got up to look.
Loki Laufeyson, Silvertounge, Prince of Asgard, Brothe
"Oh yeah the names have to be short," I explained. He scowled and deleted down to Loki.
In a moment I showed everyone how to get on and the screen read Loki, Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Peter Parker. So I press the start button and the moment the first question hits all three of them completely lose all their confidence. I pressed the right answer and watched them read and reread the question. Cap finally pressed a button and Bucky did, looking over his shoulder at his phone.
"Germany... all I can remember is they don't take orders," Loki said, scowling. He finally guessed and the screen cut to the stats, three correct one incorrect. He hid his phone and didn't take his eyes off the standings.
"To be fair, during this time Thor was probably dragging me into battles all over the nine realms. You can't blame me for not knowing the specifics of yours," he said, glancing at his phone's red screen.
"Well basically what usually happens is everyone fails the first round and then you play again to see who can read and press buttons fastest," I said, reading the next question. What country did Germany invade first. Mr. Rogers and Bucky both seemed to know this one.
I could tell Loki was looking over my shoulder but I didn't say anything, just pressed the button for Poland and drank more of my hot chocolate.
"How many times are we going to play it then?" Bucky asked, glancing at his backpack, which is sitting against the other armrest of the couch.
"Three?" I shrugged, tapping the next answer. It cut to the scores again, Loki in dead last and Steve and Bucky at a tie in second.
"How are you winning by four hundred points?" Cap asked, squinting at the screen. I shrugged.
"Because there's no way to get lower than triple digits at once."
The next question is list the members of Captain America's attack group on Hydra, which he and Bucky get immediately. I have to remember for a second, and Loki looks completely lost staring at the lists of names with barely any difference.
"In your face, Steve!" Bucky shouts, his name moving up to first.
We keep playing out the game, and in the end Cap ends in first, Bucky in second, me in third, and Loki in last with hardly 1200 points. He spent the whole time guessing and drinking his tea and grumbling things like 'why should I know what happened in the 1930s' and 'FDR? That sounds like a company acronym!' and stuff like that.
"Are you enjoying yourself, brother?" Thor asked from the doorway. On his forehead was written 'Loki'd' in sharpie, and judging by his stance and demeanor he hadn't noticed it. I tried to hide my smile.
"I'd like to see you play this game," Loki said bitterly, then noticed his face and grinned.
"I shall join, then," he said, taking out his phone and putting in the code. A moment later he also tapped furiously at the screen. "Why won't it let me keep typing?"
"The names have to be short," I said, watching the names pop up. "no titles."
I pressed the button to start it, proceeding to not follow along with the questions and watching Thor, Loki, Bucky, and Cap all try to beat each other.
"I thought you were studying, kid," Mr. Stark said from the other doorway. I pointed to the questions on the screen.
"I am!"
"Why aren't you in the game?"
"You should join us," Loki said, smiling as his name took Thor's spot in third.
"I'm working," he answered, scratching his wrist.
"Oh, come on," Steve said. I noticed Bucky looking a little uncomfortable avoiding everyone's gaze. "We could use more competition."
"I see you brought your friend," Mr. Stark said, changing the subject. "What's your name again?"
"Bucky," he answered, still avoiding eye contact. "Bucky Barnes."
"So, Hydra mind controlled you and now you're playing Kahoot on WW2," he said, shrugging. Bucky nodded.
"So did it feel like bees were stinging your brain or is that just Clint?" Loki said, turning to him.
"I don't-"
The ceiling vent swings open and Clint lands on the coffee table, spilling some of the tea and hot chocolate from the shockwave.
"I said that once," he said, "Once. Thor, you got writing on your forehead."
"I'm going to die here," Bucky muttered.
"Alright we're all joining," Mr. Stark said. "Restart the game, kid."
