The Giant Asgardian

Chapter 3: Peter to the Rescue

Y/n stared up at the giant in complete shock. 'I knew he was friendly!', she thought to herself. Neither of them said anything. It was like they were both studying each other. Y/n couldn't take being under the giant's gaze anymore and it was as if the giant read her mind because he asked, "What is your name small one?" Y/n flinched slightly at the sound of his voice. "M-My name is Y-Y/n, s-sir. W-What's yours?" The giant smiled fondly at her. "I am Loki, Prince of Asgard, God of Mischief. And my dear, please do not call me sir. Loki will suffice", he said, while ruffling Y/n's hair. Y/n looked back up at him. "C-Can I call you Mr. Loki instead?",  she shyly asked. Loki sighed and said, "If you must, little one." Y/n nodded causing a smile to form on Loki's face.

Meanwhile, Peter was panicking back in the Milano. He didn't know what to do. He had thought that Y/n would have been back in the ship before him given the fact that he had pushed her to give her a head start. Of course that didn't work!! Now she was in the hands of the giant. "H-He better not have hurt her!", said Peter. "What can I do to get her away from him?!" Peter looked frantically around the ship to try and find something that could distract the giant's attention away from Y/n so that she could have plenty of time to escape. He searched and searched until finally, an idea popped into his head. "My web shooters!! I can web up his mouth so that when he goes to try and pull it off, I can web his hand to his face!! Peter you are a genius!", he said to himself. He grabbed his web shooters and quickly put them on, exiting the Milano and making his way back around the ship to face the giant.

"S-So, are you really a p-prince?", asked Y/n, who was leaning up against Loki's curled fingers. She was still amazed that this entire palace was where Mr. Loki lived. Loki chuckled at how bewildered Y/n was. "I am and it is utterly annoying most of the time, no thanks to my brother." Y/n's eyes widened. "You have a brother?", she asked, sounding even more fascinated than before, causing Loki to laugh out loud. "Unfortunately, I do. He is an absolute jester when it comes to ruling like a proper king."
Y/n giggled. It warmed Loki's frozen heart to see someone that was actually enjoying his company and he was more than happy that she wasn't scared of him anymore. Loki loved how intently Y/n was listening to him as well. It had been a while since anyone had payed any attention to what he was saying.
Loki opened his mouth to continue telling his little friend about his idiotic brother when suddenly a white sticky substance closed it shut. "Mmmm!", yelled Loki, his lips stuck shut. 'Oh no', thought Y/n. Loki went to attempt to pull off whatever was on his face with his other hand when he was shot with the same sticky substance again, causing his hand to stick to his mouth. Loki brought Y/n down to his chest, holding her in a protective manner whilst trying to get his hand free. "Y/n!! Come on! Now's your chance! Get out of there!", yelled Peter from down on the table. Y/n couldn't believe her ears. Of course Peter would do this type of thing. She slowly crawled to the edge of Loki's hand and was about to peer down at the table when suddenly a finger blocked her path. Loki had put his thumb down in front of Y/n in fear that she was going to jump down to the table. She looked up at Loki and felt a pang in her heart. His face was covered in web and his eyes showed concern for her safety. He was so gentle and kind to her and what thanks does he get? Web fluid all over his face! Y/n felt awful. "M-Mr. Loki it's okay! I just want to talk to my friend Peter. I promise", Y/n reassured him. Loki looked at her for a moment before giving her a small nod. He lifted his finger out of the way and Y/n carefully inched her way to the edge of his hand. She looked down at the table and saw Peter, who was panicking at the moment. "Y/n what are you waiting for?! Jump! I'll catch you!", said Peter. "Peter he's friendly like I said before! He's not going to hurt us!", said Y/n. She turned back around to look up at Loki, who was trying to smile with all the web covering his mouth. "Y-Y/n what if he's just saying that? H-He could be lying!", Peter said with fear shining through in his voice. Before Y/n could say anything in response, Loki gently lifted her chin up with his thumb so she'd look up at him. 'My little friend, I would never think of doing such a thing as to hurting you. I care deeply about you little one and I would never think twice as to breaking your trust. Please, believe me small one.' Loki telepathically said this to Y/n, who was amazed that she just got to experience such a thing. "Mr. Loki, of course I believe you", she said. Loki chuckled and gently ruffled Y/n's hair. She smiled back up at him and turned to face Peter. "You're wrong Peter! He isn't going to hurt us!", said Y/n. "Mr. Loki? Can you put me down so I can explain to Peter that he's wrong about you?", Y/n said with a shy smile. All Loki could do was nod. Loki gently lowered Y/n down to the table and let her climb off his palm. He immediately started tearing the webbing away that was binding his hand to his mouth.
"Y/n!", screamed Peter, who was now hugging Y/n very tightly. "Oh thank goodness you're okay! I-I thought he hurt you!" Y/n hugged Peter back and said, "Pete, I'm fine. He's really nice! He was telling me that he lives here in the palace and that he's a prince! Isn't that cool?!", said Y/n, who stopped hugging Peter after he started squeezing harder. "Yeah! I-I just shot web at him. I webbed a prince's mouth shut. Do you think he's mad at me?", asked Peter.
"I'm sure he'll understand that you were just scared." "Hey I was NOT scared!", shouted Peter. "Oh really Mr. Spider-Man?", said Y/n with a smirk on her face. Peter's face turned red. Y/n was about to say something sarcastic back to Peter, but Loki intervened and asked, "If you two don't mind, can you please explain what this stuff is that was gluing my mouth shut?"
Y/n looked at Peter and smiled. "This one's all you bud", she said. Peter looked up at Loki, scared out of his mind. "U-Um..it's web fluid s-sir. I use that stuff back where we're from t-to web up bad guys."
Loki raised an eyebrow. "Oh I see. So, does that make me a bad guy in your eyes?", asked Loki, who was getting annoyed. Peter's eyes widened and he said, "N-No sir! I-I just.." Y/n tapped Peter on the shoulder. "I'll take it from here Pete." Peter nodded and stepped a few steps behind Y/n. "M-Mr. Loki?" Loki's attention turned to Y/n. "Peter was just scared for my safety. He didn't know if you were going to hurt me or not. I promise he didn't mean anything by it", said Y/n. Loki's expression softened. "It's alright small one. I was the one to give you both a fright when I scooped you.." Loki gently poked Y/n in the shoulder. "..up off the table. My apologies", said Loki. "It's okay. Oh! Mr. Loki I forgot to introduce you to my friend! This is Peter! Peter this Mr. Loki", said Y/n, who was well excited. "Pleasure to meet you, s-sir", said Peter. He was starting to visibly shake and Loki couldn't help but feel bad. He understood where the boy was coming from when he shot the white substance at him. He was trying to protect a loved one.
"Please do not call me sir, child. Loki or Mr. Loki will do. Which ever you choose fit to your liking. And you do not have to be frightened. I'm not going to hurt you", Loki said with a kind smile on his face. Peter smiled back up at him.
