*Flashback*

All the avengers were nervous, to put it in simple terms. Dad kept smoothing down his pants and pacing. 

Aunt Nat was spinning a dagger on her palm, occasionally throwing it at the dartboard (which had almost split in half because she always hit in the very centre) we had reserved for moments like these. 

Uncle Clint was fiddling around with the TV and randomly flicking through channels on netflix. 

Uncle Steve was rapping his knuckles on the table while Uncle Bucky kneaded dough and even allowed me to braid his hair! 

Wanda and Vision were silently staring at New York, her arms wrapped around his waist. 

Pepper kept re-adjusting her ponytail. 

Uncle Hulk was scribbling furiously in his notebook.

Suddenly, everyone looked up. There was a flash of brilliant light, and Uncle Thor and Loki were standing in the middle of the room.

"UNCLE THOR!" I screamed while throwing myself at him.

"It is wonderful to see you too, Man of Spiders. Did you miss me?" I crossed my arms and stared at him, "Okay, okay, Peter, I was only kidding," He grinned, knowing I hated it when I was called Man of Spiders (we had made a deal that I would call him Uncle Thor and he would call me Peter or Pete). I sidestepped behind him to meet Loki, and I could hear everyone's sharp intake of breath.

"Hello, Mr Loki, it's nice to meet you,"

"My cold heart has no room to show affection to a simple human boy," Loki replied. I nodded and turned away. Everyone had told me to be careful around Mr Loki, and I didn't really understand why. He had made his mistakes, but he was the god of mischief, after all. It was in his nature. 

Dad opened one of the windows and let a cold breeze come in, even though it was winter. I rolled my eyes. I kept telling dad that if he wore suits all the time, it would get stuffy. When the breeze hit me, I sneezed. I guess it was really warm in here, and the temperature difference didn't bode well with me. Suddenly, I heard someone move behind me.

"Are you alright? Where is your jacket, young man? I will KILL whoever infected you!" Everyone stared and I held my hand out to Mr Loki.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mr Loki!"

"Loki."

"Woah cool, Dr Strange has one of those as well! Is yours alive too?"

"No-" Loki tried to tell me but I was already grabbing the edge of the cape and shaking it.

"Hi. I'm Peter."

*Back to the present*

We had a substitute teacher for English. For the first 10 minutes, he stood at the front of the classroom and said nothing. I had a bad feeling about this guy and my spidey sense was going off, so I discreetly activated Karen, who was in my ear at all times. Suddenly, the sub teachers phone rang. Everyone jumped at the sound, which broke the dead silence of the room. 

The man was speaking in Russian, but I only knew small phrases like little spider, get out before I kill you, thank you for cooperating, speak or I kill her/him and I will find you. These were all courtesy of Aunt Nat, and she only taught me things that would be useful in an interrogation, and getting alone time with Aunt Nat was close to impossible, so she didn't have much time to teach me. However, I managed to catch the words Leeds, kill and spider, which I assumed was referring to Spiderman. 

I whispered to Karen to alert dad immediately, and my spidey senses were going off like crazy. Suddenly, the man opened the door and let two men wearing masks inside, locking the door behind them. Then, the not-a-teacher pulled out a gun from his briefcase and pointed it at Betty.
