The adorable Spider-Man (who is misunderstood by everyone)

4 - I think you lost this!

Loki was having a good day. He wasn't recognized by anyone today even without his disguise. But of course it could never last that long.

Now there was this ... child standing in front of him - he wanted to give Loki something back that he dropped, how did that even happen? - who looked at him with wide eyes, frozen the moment he saw Loki's face.

Of course it had to be a child who recognizes him. Loki actually liked children, just not the fact that most of them were terrified of him. So he liked to keep his distance. Why was he even banned on this planet? Everyone who was interested enough new his face and always keeping up his disguise was too tiring.

By now the child seemed to have recovered. But surprisingly he didn't start screaming and looked scared, he looked rather... awe struck?

"OMG, you are Loki, aren't you?! I saw the fight on TV! Your magic is amazing! Like! How even? There are so many theories that you were under mind control at that time and even Thor confirmed it! I am like! Probably your biggest fan! Well, after Thor of course, because nothing beats brotherly love, but I read so much about you... and ... to actually meet you! I think I might faint!"

Loki looked at the child with uncertainty. Why would anyone think of him as amazing?

He continued mumbling.

"Three of my idols in not even two weeks! What even is my life..."

Now Loki's face has changed into a small smirk. This child was quite fascinating.

"To think that I would meet such an adorable creature on Midgard. You surprise me, child. Normally people run away when they recognize me."

The child looked at him with wide eyes. Then something akin to pity showed on his face and he spoke with a small voice.

"That's... kind of sad, Mr. Loki. Aren't you lonely?"

Loki was once again surprised. Then he started laughing.

"Well, you get used to it. But this meeting has quite delighted me, so thank you, small child, it was a pleasure."

Peter's face showed understanding at the first sentence Loki said, which left Loki with an unsettling feeling, but after that he started smiling again. Of course the reason wasn't so he wouldn't worry the child.

"That's good, then. Oh, here! You still didn't get your wallet!"

Peter realized that he was still holding the god's wallet and stepped forward to give it to him.

Just as Loki reached for his wallet a portal opened under him and both he and Peter fell into it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peter didn't even register anything as he started falling, the god of mischief right in front of him. Mr. Loki landed elegantly on his feet, but Peter wasn't so lucky.

He lost his balance and landed on his but.

"Owww."

As he regained his senses he opened his eyes to see a man looking down on him with a surprised look on his face.

"Well, this isn't what I was expecting. God of mischief, Loki, would you explain to me why there is a child with you?"

The man accusing Mr. Loki wore a blue dress ? and a red ... moving??? ... cape.

Loki was just raising one eyebrow - Peter wished he could do that too - and looked down at Peter with a - could it be? - fond look in his eyes.

"Well, he was just trying to give me back my wallet, which I dropped somehow, when someone..."

At this he addressed his look, now annoyed, at the man in the strange cape thing.

"...decided that he wanted me to visit him. Why, old friend, did you miss me so much that you had to open one of these portals to see me?"

Peter was looking bemusedly from one man to the other. He had no clue what was happening, but he decided that the floor wasn't so comfortable anymore and he stood up.

Now he could look around the place a bit better. It looked a bit old, but quite cozy in his opinion. But he was living on the street now, his opinion could be warped by now, so that everything would look cozy in his eyes.

The man in the cape was speaking again.

"Well, you know that you shouldn't be here. I just wanted to remind you of that, in case you forgot already."

Loki let out an annoyed snort at his words. He didn't seem to like the older looking man. Peter was interested in their story, since he didn't think that Loki would know anyone on earth besides the Avengers, but he didn't want to pry, so he kept his mouth shut.

"Yeah, how could I forget your last warm welcome. Well, guess you will be seeing more of me now that I have been banned on Midgard. But you don't have to worry, as I don't have full access to my magic power."

Peter sneezed. He really had tried to hold it back, but the dust in this room was too much for his sensitive nose.

The two men turned to look at him immediately and he turned red under the attention.

"Sorry, I didn't want to interrupt your really interesting conversation. I didn't actually understand anything that you were talking about so you don't have to worry about me saying anything to anyone, if you even wanted this conversation to be secret. Well, I mean you wouldn't have let me be here in that case, but still... Sorry, I'll stop talking now."

The older man looked like he was annoyed that Peter was still here, but Loki looked amused at his antics.

"Who are you even? And if you know that guy... why aren't you scared of him?"

Peter tilted his head to one side.

"Scared? Of who, Mr. Loki? I just think that he is amazing! His magic is so cool and he went against the Avengers and it was just amazing! Also he was under mind control, so I don't blame him for anything. I mean, it's the same like with the Winter Soldier, right? Or even Hawkeye from what I read about the fight against Loki."

Peter paused for a moment, thinking what the man had asked him before that. Because of that he missed Loki's surprised and fond look.

"Oh, and my name is Peter! Parker!"
