Loki's POV

It feels good to see people staring at me, agape again. I missed the feeling. And the recording... Wait till we show Shuri. I look down and grin fondly at Peter. I love being extra, and apparently so does Peter. He beams right back up at me, and I see the mischief in his eyes, before he stares back at the others, who all have dumbstruck looks on their face, except for Natasha and James, who are snickering. So naturally, we start snickering too. Wanda's eyes glow red as she looks deep into Peter's memories, and she slowly looks up at her crush, Steve (of course I know this stuff), and nods. "It's true" she says. and then she hugs Peter. She jumps into my mind. Take care of him, okay? When I looked into his memories, I saw... More than I should have. The pain he's been through, the rejection... I smile Don't worry, like father like son. I will not be like my own father, I will protect him with all I have. She half-smiles. I take this moment to make her feel uncomfortable, because that's what I do. So... Have you asked out Steve yet? I ask, talking in her mind. She looks up at me, startled. What? How are you...? How do you know about that? I smile evilly. Darling Wanda, I know everything about you. About everyone. Ask Thor. I have studied these arts since I was old enough to comprehend things properly, so about 1000 years. Of course I can do something as basic as this. Peter jumps into Wanda's head. Oooh Wanda. If you don't ask out Steve, I will. She gasps at Peter, then glares daggers at both of us. Are you gay? She demands in his mind No, Wanda. It's an expression, I have a girlfriend. I MEAN ask him before he falls for another girl. Peter and I look at each other knowingly, after he looks into Steve's mind. He likes her back. "Can someone please tell us what's going on?" Sam asks, clearly confused at why we are staring at each other. I laugh, and reach out into his mind. We were talking. Sam gasps, and backs away. "There's two of them!" He yells. Actually, 3 if you count Peter. "That's any better?" He ask/yells. For Odin's sake, Wilson. You can just think and I'll know. You don't have to shout and confuse the others. Though I do love the sight of everyone confused. Sam passes out. Nat, James and Peter start laughing harder, (especially James) 

"What did you do to him?" Steve yells at me. "Dear William Black from Manhattan," I say "Sam did that by himself! He was merely surprised" Steve cringes at the sound of one of his fake names he used to try and get into the army back in the 1940's. I remember myself, as a 14 year old, laughing at his stupid ass going to get himself killed. He reminded me of Thor, a bit. Then Steve looks directly at Peter and also passes out. James is now laughing his ass off. "hold up, hold up!" He goes and takes a picture of them, out cold on the floor. 

Everyone goes to bed, looking exhausted and confused, from the night's events. "Hey Pete. Do you wanna go to that coffee place again after school? You said you have a girlfriend. I want to meet her." Peter looks up at me. "Jesus, dad. Sure, you can meet her, but don't tell her who you are yet. I don't want her to leave me as soon as she knows I'm barely human." I look down at him, and say gently "That's okay, whenever you're ready" He smiles, and I head back to my room. This shouldn't be too hard.

Peter's POV

I wake up, in my usual depressed mood. I use magic to change my clothes, and look at myself in the mirror. What a mess. I'll have to fix that before I get to school. Everyone is silent as I walk into the kitchen, except for Wanda. Probably because she knows how much it can damage a kid to ignore them after they've already lost so much. Especially after the death of a loved one. How long has it been since May died? 3 weeks? A month? I don't know. "Morning Peter!" She says cheerfully, trying to make me feel better. I attempt to smile back. "Thanks" I say. Nat, Bucky and Loki walk in, looking like they usually do in the mornings. They smile at me "Morning Pete!" Nat says, and Bucky waves. I nod at them, half smiling. Loki speaks in my mind. These stupid human's brains are taking too long to process this. He gives me a lopsided smile, and I chuckle a little. I tune in on Wanda's mind conversation with the others. Whenever you guys struggled, Peter was always there. Always, making you feel better. The one time he's upset, lonely, and not knowing who he is, you guys are shutting him out. I feel him, me and Pietro... We had no one. And it drove us crazy. But we didn't deserve help nearly as much as Peter. You guys are meant to help people, and you are just going to watch Peter, our bb, slowly dying on the inside-
