They quickly found themselves in a library, Peter instantly looking down at the new clothes he was wearing in hope that it would give him a hint. He felt himself wearing glasses so he knew that he at least was older than six, but he was just wearing a typical green sweater and jeans so that gave him nothing.

Loki and Peter started to walk around the library a bit, Peter trying to wrack his brain for what could be happening; he tended to spend most of his time in this particular library so anything could really be happening.

They ended up walking past a couple of newspapers and magazines, pictures of Tony Stark plastered on them. Peter instantly walked over to read the covers, seeing that it was when Tony came out as Iron Man.

"It's late October, 2008." Peter says, Loki looking at the magazines also.

"Okay, so what happened around that time then?" Loki asks, not noticing the way Peter froze up next to him until the teen's breathing began picking up. "Child?"

"I-I can't d-do this one. I-I-I r-really can't d-do this one. Please d-don't make me, please." Peter practically begs, his breathing getting even faster.

"Child, you know that's not how it works. You have to do this." Loki tells him, unsure of what to do right now; Peter was practically gasping for air at this point.

"Here, child, just sit down for a second." Loki says, helping lower Peter to the floor. All Peter could do was stare at a bunch of tables with different kinds of people studying.

"Child you need to calm down. Just remember that this is just a memory." Loki tried to console, realizing that if Peter didn't start breathing normally he would pass out; which would only weaken Peter's soul and give the Mare an even bigger chance to consume all of Peter's soul.

"Oh, help me now." Loki says, quickly wrapping his arm around Peter and bringing him close, putting one hand over his eyes. Almost instantly Peter started to calm down and his breathing slowly evened out.

"What... What did you just do to me?" Peter asks, a little breathless.

"I used my magic to calm you. Unless you want the creature to consume your soul completely ." Loki says, Peter shaking his head before being released. "Now, I understand this is difficult for you, child, but you must get through it."

"I-I-I c-can't." Peter repeated, staring down at his shaking hands.

"Child, it'll be alright. Just remember that this is just a memory, you cannot be harmed in anyway." Loki tries to comfort, considering he's completely out of his depth, he thought he was doing well.

"B-But just the memory of it hurts me. N-Not physically, not anymore, but it does hurt me." Peter says, wishing the earth would just swallow him up right then and there.

"Okay, how about this. That's you sitting there at the table, correct?" Loki says, point at the table in the corner where seven-year-old Peter was sitting and reading.
