The Giant Asgardian

Chapter 10: It's Not the Same

All while Loki and Y/n have been together, Thor had been showing Peter the wonders of the palace.
They spent most of their time in the throne room, given the fact that Thor was now King of Asgard. The throne room was about a hallway away from his bedroom and Loki's, which was perfect because if Thor ever wanted to check up on how his brother and Y/n were doing, he wouldn't have to walk very far to get there.
Thor had been telling Peter a boat load of stories from when he and Loki were kids and what it was like before he had met the Avengers. He was also telling Peter where everything was located in the palace. Anything he could ramble on about, he rambled on about.
At the moment, Thor was sitting on his throne while Peter sat on Thor's right shoulder.
"...and after I picked up the snake to admire it, he turned back into himself and he went "Bwuh it's me!" and then he stabbed me. Could you believe that?!", said Thor laughing. Peter chuckled and smiled, but looked down and started fiddling with his web shooters he still had on from when he and Y/n were in the library.
Peter was more than excited that Thor had shown him all of Asgard. He'd been wanting to go to Asgard now for a while ever since he first met Thor back at the Avengers Tower during a party Stark had thrown one night.
It's just not the same. Peter has always done everything with Y/n, and now, since they were both forced to be separated from each other, it was like there was part of him missing. "And I can't forget about all the times he stabbed me before! Ha ha! Classic Loki", said Thor laughing.

While Thor continued on to tell stories, Peter sat there in great concentration thinking of a way he could get back to Loki and Y/n. 'There's no way I can just slip off of his shoulder without him noticing! Ugh! What am I gonna do?', thought Peter to himself.
Peter was suddenly pulled out of thought when Thor exclaimed, "Oh! Young Stark, I don't believe I brought you to the library yet" Peter's face dropped. 'Well, that's definitely not where Mr. Loki caught me and Y/n at..', thought Peter to himself. 'Maybe if Mr. Thor gets distracted with something in the library, I could sneak off without him even knowing it', thought Peter.
"Can you show me it!!", exclaimed Peter. He didn't want to tell Thor that he'd already been in the library. Thor was practically bouncing up and down with joy and Peter had a plan to initiate.
"Of course I can!", said Thor, who got up suddenly and grabbed a hold of Peter. He started walking very fast which made Peter somewhat nauseous.
Peter missed how Loki was more careful with him and Y/n. Being with Thor is like trying to tame a wild dog that's on a sugar rush.

"H-Hey, Mr. Thor?", asked Peter. Thor glanced at Peter for a second, but then continued looking at where he was going. "Yes mini Stark?", asked Thor.
"When can we go hang out with Y/n and Loki? I-It's not that I don't love hanging out with you! It's just..-", said Peter, who was suddenly interrupted by Thor who said, "I know where this is going. Listen, young Peter, I am just looking out for your safety and Y/n's safety. I cannot have Stark hunting me down if anything were to happen to the both of you. Especially if it were at the hands of my brother."
Peter contemplates for a second and said, "B-But, Mr. Thor, Y/n is with Mr. Loki all alone right now. Wouldn't it be better if you were there as well?
"W-Well I suppose, yes, but I have a feeling my brother wouldn't harm Y/n. She has such an immense innocence that could penetrate through that frozen heart of his. And, I actually think it already has", said Thor. Silence filled the air, but Thor continued on and said, "And she is much smaller than you. A very short and tiny mortal, indeed. Loki would never hurt such a tiny being."
"Y/n's not that short! I'm about 5'9'' and she's 5'3''. I-I....okay maybe she is much shorter than I am, but still!", said Peter with confidence. Thor honestly couldn't come up with a good enough response to what Peter had said, but luckily for Thor, the library was right around the next corner of the hallway.
"Ah! Here is the library, young Stark!", exclaimed Thor, who was happy that conversation came to an end.

Thor and Peter finally found themselves standing at the entrance to the library. Thor, without hesitation or even thinking to check if there were servants in the room, walked right through the doors and stood there, taking in the magnificence of the library.
"Beautiful, is it not? I hardly ever spend my time in here. However, Loki knows this place like the back of his hand. He spends every second he could spare in this room", said Thor as he looked around the library.
Peter suddenly thought of an idea. "Hey, Mr. Thor! Maybe we could find a book about that Asgardian power Y/n was talking about!", said Peter.
Thor walked over to the nearest table and let Peter climb off his hand. Peter turned around, staring up at Thor. "You mean the one that makes Loki and I gigantic compared to you and Y/n?", asked Thor. "Yeah!! There has to be a book in here that explains it better!", said Peter, looking out at the vast collection of books. There were so many shelves filled from top to bottom.
"I suppose you are right! I am going to start looking, but you have to stay here Peter. I don't want you to get hurt", said Thor with a gentle smile. Peter almost couldn't contain his excitement. His plan was falling together perfectly!

"I will only be about 10 minutes. If you see anyone come in, shout my name. I will be here in an instant", said Thor. "Okay Mr. Thor!", said Peter as he watched Thor leave him all alone on the table.
'Now's my chance!', thought Peter. He quickly walked to the edge of the table and climbed down using his spider powers. "Man, sometimes I forget how awesome it is to be able to do this", said Peter. Once Peter's feet touched the ground, he ran his way over to the doors that him and Thor had come through. There was just one problem. The doors were closed shut!
"Now what am I going to do?!", exclaimed Peter. He looked up towards the top of the door and noticed that both doors had windows. Peter gasped and asked himself, "Are those open?" He looked down at his web shooters and then back up to the windows. "Only one way to find out!", said Peter. He aimed his web shooters up towards the left window and pressed the button. Web fluid shot out and stuck right against the glass. "Yes! I didn't expect that to work!", said Peter

Peter bent his knees and jumped. He was sent flying up in the air. "Whoah!!", exclaimed Peter. He came closer and closer to the window and before he knew it, he was staring out into the hallway. "Mr. Loki and Y/n, here I come!", said Peter. He looked around at the window and noticed a small hole in the glass. Without hesitating, Peter climbed through and quickly made his way back down to the floor in the hallway.
Once Peter reached the ground, he looked around trying to think of which way to go. 'Mr. Thor mentioned that his bedroom and Loki's bedroom were right by the throne room. Maybe if I keep going down the hallway, I'll find Mr. Loki's room!', thought Peter to himself.
And so he was off! Thankfully for Peter, there were huge columns in the hallway that he could hide behind if he needed to.
Peter listened carefully for when the coast was clear. He did not want to be caught by someone that wasn't Loki. Peter even made sure to listen out for Thor's booming voice. He was definitely going to notice that Peter was no longer standing on the table in the library, but Peter honestly didn't care. He wanted to hang out with Loki and Y/n.

Peter made his way quickly down the hall trying to figure out which door belonged to Loki's bedroom. After running for what felt like an eternity, Peter stopped and stood behind a golden column to catch his breath. "I can't believe..I-I just left Mr. Thor", he said. Suddenly, a door across from the column Peter was hiding behind opened.
Peter's head shot up in hopes that it could be Loki. Lo and behold, it was him!! Peter's eyes widened with excitement and noticed that Y/n was cupped in Loki's hands. 'There they are!', thought Peter. He was about to call out to Loki, when suddenly Loki exited out from his room and started walking down the rest of the hallway.
"No, no, no, no! W-Wait!", said Peter as he chased after Loki and Y/n.
"This is not happening! How am I going to catch up to them?", he asked himself. A light bulb then went off in his mind. "My web shooters! Will that even work?", said Peter aloud. He aimed his web shooters towards Loki's right shoulder and pressed the web fluid dispense button. The webbing shot out, but missed clinging onto Loki's shoulder by a few hairs. "Ugh! Now what am I-...wait...if it almost reached his shoulder then maybe it'll reach-...", Peter had to catch up to him no matter what. He couldn't be stranded in the hallway all alone. He aimed his web shooters down towards Loki's right boot in hopes that this new plan will work.
Web fluid shot out and stuck to the top of Loki's boot, a few inches below his knee.

"Yes it-..whoah!!", Peter was instantly flung into the air and was reaching Loki very fast. He barely had anytime to prepare for the impact with the nighttime outfit Loki was wearing. He grabbed a hold of Loki's boot with all the strength he had in him as Loki continued to walk down the hallway.
Peter shuffled his way down to Loki's foot and plopped down on top of it. He sat facing towards Loki's boot and said quietly to himself, "I-I am never doing this again." He stayed as quiet as possible. Loki hadn't noticed what Peter had done and Peter wanted to keep it that way.
"I wonder where Mr. Loki is going?", asked Peter to himself.
Loki continued walking down the hall until he reached a door. Peter's free ride suddenly came to a stop and he turned around to see what was going on, but froze when Loki said jokingly, "I don't take kindly to hitch hikers, child."
