MCU AU One-shots

Peter meet Loki

The first one-shot. I know it doesn't really have anything to do with anything. But, I thought it was cute.

Peter had been given a real internship with Mr. Stark. And today was one such day that he hung out at the tower with everyone. He and Mr. Stark had come up from the lab for dinner (after of course, threatening from Pepper.), to find two people, or rather gods, that had not been there before.

"What is he doing here?" Tony asked, gruffly, pointing at Loki.

"Proving he is no longer evil, Man of Iron!" Thor's booming voice responded.

Tony grumbled but complied. "Keep him away from Peter. And the lab."

But the former was much too late. Peter was staring up at Loki with wonder in his eyes. Loki was confused. Who was this child and why wasn't he running away?

"Hi, Mr. Loki, It's nice to meet you." Peter was bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Loki blinked. It was nice to meet him. If he felt emotions, he might care for the boy. Suddenly the boy started coughing. Nononono what was happening, was he dying, was he sick, who did this, he would kill them.

"Sorry, Mr. Loki, choked on my own spit. I got excited." Peter was still bouncing. Loki let out a breath, the child wasn't dying. Wait. Why did he care? Peter was still talking. "So, like, you know magic. That is so cool. I wish I could do magic. Or teleport. Could you teach me? Actually, Mr. Stark might not like that at all. So maybe not. I also like your knives. And your helmet. Can I wear it? And use your knives. That would be fun."

Geez, did this kid ever stop for air? But Tony finally noticed how close the two were standing and intervened. "Kid, back away from him. I don't want you near Loki, okay."

"Why, Mr. Stark?" Peter's doe eyes were wide and innocent.

"Because he may be reforming, but he is still evil." Loki cast his eyes to the ground. Of course, the child would listen to his father's opinions. Children did. In the two minutes, Loki had known Peter, he had grown rather attached to the boy.

"So? Mr. Loki, on a scale of one to ten, one being 'i'll spit in your hotdog' and ten being 'destroy the world' or 'kick a puppy', how evil do you feel?" Peter turned his eyes on the God of Mischief.

Loki wanted to smile. "About a four."

"Cool, let me know if it gets above six or seven."
