2 Interlude Peter Parker
Mr. Loki had such a nice voice. He sang really nicely. Peter fell asleep very quickly due to Mr. Loki singing. His sleep was undisturbed. He was asleep and woke up after ten. Then he heard a noise. He immediately left the room to check it out. Mr. Loki was in the living room with Mrs. Sylvie. Mrs. Sylvie was asleep. Mr. Loki carried her in his arms. Finally he put her on the couch and pulled her out of the air green blanket! Peter knew Mr. Loki had magic, but it was great to see it with his own eyes.
"Sylvie needs to sleep. She's had a rough night. She'll sleep for a few hours. Are you hungry?" Mr. Loki asked.
Peter got a great breakfast. Mr. Loki made delicious scrambled eggs. Peter was a little surprised how a Norse god would know how to cook plain scrambled eggs, but Mr. Loki explained to him that he likes to cook and collect recipes from all the places he visits. Peter was very grateful that Mr. Loki and Mrs. Sylvie found him. He might have died then. Too bad they couldn't save Aunt May and Uncle Ben. Peter still couldn't believe they were really dead. Even though he saw their bodies. It was really Parker's happiness! During his short life Peter lost two families. Peter was afraid to go to the orphanage. He knew he had no family left to accept him. Well, except maybe Mr. Loki and Mrs. Sylvie. However, would they like to adopt him? They were gods and Peter was just a little boy. Would they really like to accept him?
"Peter, I have a proposition for you," Mr. Loki said.
"What proposition, Mr.Loki?" Peter asked.
"I can't bring your parents back to life, but I can make you talk to each other," replied Mr. Loki.
"Oh, Mr. Loki that would be great! But, I didn't correct you. They weren't my parents. Just Uncle Ben and Aunt May I'd really like to talk to them, "replied Peter
"And where are your parents?" Mr. Loki asked.
"They are dead. They died in an accident when I was three," replied Peter.
"You an orphan twice?" Mr. Loki asked, and Peter nodded.
Mr. Loki's face was thoughtful and sad. Probably because of Peter's words. Mr. Loki whispered that he must think and left the kitchen. Peter was finishing the scrambled eggs. Then he saw a strange white glow. Is Mr. Loki doing magic again? Peter hurried over there. There was a glowing white dome above the bodies of Aunt May and Uncle Ben. Peter wanted to flood Mr. Loki with questions about this, but Mr. Loki put a finger to his lips to silence him. Peter noticed that Mr. Loki had a beautiful orange stone in his hand. It was really beautiful. Peter reached out to touch it, but Mr. Loki stopped his hand with lightning speed.
"Little mortal children, they cannot touch it" Mr. Loki said and stroked his head. Suddenly Peter and Mr. Loki were some in sort of orange world. Peter stared admiringly at the orange sky.It was very large and quiet world. Suddenly Peter noticed two familiar figures.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May!
Peter immediately ran to them. They did the same. After a while he found himself in their embrace.
"Are you okay, Peter?" Aunt May asked.
"I'm fine, Aunt May. Mr. Loki saved me"replied Peter.
His uncle and aunt looked at Mr. Loki. For a moment, Peter had even forgotten Mr. Loki's affection for him because of his current attitude. It was the authority of being god.
"Loki like the Norse god of Mischief and Lies?" Uncle Ben asked.
"You put it correctly. I am him," Loki replied and spread his hands out.
"Where are we and why are you with Peter?" Aunt May asked.
"You are now in The Soul Stone. Powerful and magical artifact. Thanks to the presence of your bodies in the apartment, I was able to find your souls and bring them here for you to talk to Peter," replied Mr. Loki.
"And why would a Norse god go to so much trouble?" Uncle Ben asked.
"I would be glad to talk to you mortal, about Peter Parker's fate in private," said Mr. Loki.
They both left, and Peter stayed with his aunt.
"Are you sure you are healthy, Peter?" Aunt May asked.
"Of course, Mr. Loki healed me. He has such wonderful magic ..." and here Peter started listing everything he had learned about Mr. Loki's magic. His aunt listened to him and stroked his hair. She tried to hide it, but there were tears in her eyes.
"Aunt May, why are you sad?" Peter asked.
"It's not sad, honey. I'm happy you survived," Aunt May replied.
"But you didn't survive," said Peter softly.
Auntie hugged him and began to explain that she would prefer to die a thousand times to keep Peter safe. Peter talked with his aunt for a long time. Until Mr. Loki and Uncle Ben returned.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May were quietly talking to each other.
"Peter, do you like Loki?" Uncle Ben asked.
"Of course, I am Mr. Loki is wonderful. He told me about magic, he cooked for me and sang to me," said Peter.
"Peter, honey. We are dead anymore, but Loki has promised we can meet you here," Aunt May said.
"But you, Peter, are still alive. You have to finish school, find a nice girl and so on. We don't want you to end up in the system," said Uncle Ben.
"That's why Loki said he would adopt you. He explained to us that our souls are the easiest to find because of our bodies. That's why we can't have a funeral. Loki is going to cast a spell so that our bodies. Our bodies will not decompose. No one will not know we didn't survive, so officially you will still be in our care, because Loki and his companion Sylvie are shapeshifters, so they will pretend to be us if necessary, "Aunt May said.
Peter nodded at that. Mr. Loki gave them another hour before they said goodbye. Aunt May and Uncle Ben smiled at him, and Peter waved at them.
When they got back to the apartment, Mr. Loki started making dinner. Peter began to eat. It was a very sweet soup and it smelled like flowers. It was from Vanaheim, Mr. Loki had told him. Then suddenly Mr. Loki turned pale and held his head as if he was in pain.
Peter wanted to ask him what had happened, but Mr. Loki pulled a blue cube out of the air and said that there was urgent business to do and that Mrs. Sylvie was to eat dinner when she woke up. Then, in a glow of gray and blue smoke, Mr. Loki disappeared.
