Texting the Ancient One, Peter quickly found out that the New York Sanctum, much like all of the other Sanctums around the world, is completely warded to hide any energies.

So thankfully, Thanos shouldn’t know that the Reality Stone is on Earth at the moment.

Though, that opens up Asgard as a definite target of the Mad Titan and his armies, which isn’t good either.

‘As long as Odin is alive, Thanos will have a hard time…’ Peter thought, as The Mad Titan would have to use a lot of manpower to take Asgard. ‘I just hope the old man wakes up soon, as his sleeping disorder could prove to be a real problem.’

Though the current problem at the top of Peter’s list is how can he use the Aether without lighting up Thanos’ gem radar like a Christmas tree.

‘I need to get some books…’ Peter thought as he portal’d over time Kamar-Taj and ransacked the library.

———————————————

After spending the whole night reading up on barriers and other ways to hide certain energy signatures, Peter suited up and went over to the tower, where he collected all of Thor’s paperwork and called in Hawkeye.

“You wanted to see me?” Clint says as he walks up to Peter, who was watching TV in Tony’s living room.

“Yeah, follow me.” Peter opens a portal and walks through.

…

Stepping through the portal, Hawkeye was met with the sight of an ornate throne room, filled with guards in golden armor.

“Hey, where is Thor?” Peter asked as the throne was empty.

“The King is in the dining hall, Duke Spider.” An Einherjar Guard answers respectfully.

“Thanks.” Peter says as he walks off with Clint following closely behind.

“Duke Spider? Seriously?” Clint asks, finding the title amusing.

“Shut up, I didn’t pick it.” Peter says with a small hint of embarrassment. ‘It’s not that bad…’

“Whatever you say…” Clint tries hard to hold in his laughter.

Arriving at the dining hall, Peter spotted Thor and the Warriors three eating and drinking together.

“Yo!” Peter calls out with a wave.

“My friend! You’re back already.” Thor seemed happy.

After saying hello to everyone, Thor and the Warriors three seemed to notice Clint standing awkwardly in the background.

“Thor, this is Clint.” Peter introduces the two of them. “He’ll be in charge of your basic training.”

As Peter says this, he slaps the paperwork down in front of Thor and hands him a pen.

Meanwhile, Hawkeye stood to the side with a shocked look on his face.

Peter didn’t explain anything before dragging him here, so learning that he would be training a new member, who happened to be the King of an advanced god-like alien civilization, was a bit startling, to say the least.

“Sign here… here… here…” Peter starts flipping through the many pages as Thor confusedly signs his name over and over. “That’s it. You’re officially an Avenger. Do you want us to send your paychecks to Jane?”

“I get paid?” Thor asks in surprise.

“Of course, every member has a generous monthly paycheck.” Peter explains as Clint nods behind him.

Being an Avenger is the most lucrative job that Clint has ever had, and he isn’t paid nearly as much as those with enhancements.

“Yes, send my money to Jane. After all, I have no use for it here.” Thor says, happy that he could help make Jane’s time on Earth easier.

“Sure, now you and Clint need to come up with a schedule and decide whether you will be coming to Earth for your training or the other way around.” Peter says as he steps back to allow the two to talk.

“Are you sure he needs training?” Clint asks, as he felt weird about traveling across the universe for something like this.

Even now he’s just realizing that this isn’t planet Earth anymore.

“I told him I didn’t need it…” Thor nods his head.

“Everyone has to go through training, you know that.” Peter says as he looks over at Clint who reluctantly nods.

“Can’t Natasha handle this one?” Clint asks as he looks at Thor uncomfortably. “No offense, but this is an alien planet right?”

“To you, yeah.” Thor laughs.

“Natasha is busy with other recruits.” Peter says with a shake of his head. “If being off-planet makes you uncomfortable, Thor will just have to come to the Tower for training.”

“That’s fine.” Thor agreed easily. “I’ve been meaning to visit my brother anyway.”

————————————————

After settling the deal, Clint became Thor’s trainer. Their first day of actual training would take place on the following day.

Of course, Peter decided to stop by and welcome Thor.

Though mainly he wanted to enjoy the show.

After all, Thor planned to meet with Loki, which would certainly be entertaining to watch.

Arriving at the tower the next day, Peter hung out with Lily as he read through one of the books that he took from Kamar-Taj, waiting patiently for the time Thor would arrive.

“What are you reading, Dad?” Lily asked, sounding a bit more mature than before.

Compared to her earlier childlike voice, which sounded like a 5-year-old girl, Lily now sounded around 9 or 10-year-old.

The change wasn’t huge, but one thing was certainly different.

‘She doesn’t call me Daddy anymore…’ Peter thought sadly.

It started a few weeks ago.

Lily suddenly started thinking of herself as an adult, even though she isn’t, and refused to call him Daddy anymore.

It was like a switch flipped and his favorite word disappeared in an instant, leaving him no chance to ever get it back.

When the tragedy first took place, Peter came crying about it to MJ, though that was a huge mistake on his part.

She only made matters worse…

“What are you? A pervert?” She asked half jokingly.

Of course, Peter defended himself, but she refused to sympathize with him.

‘Why would she? Lily still calls her Mommy…’ Peter thought as he felt pain in his heart. ‘Life is so unfair…’

It was like his name disappeared and he couldn’t fight for it, as Lily’s mother would just call him a pervert even though it wasn’t about that.

Hearing the sudden change in his name just made Peter realize that his cute cybernetic daughter was growing up extremely fast, which he started to regret more and more.

‘I should have locked her at a normal human growth rate…’ He thought in sorrow.

Of course, he knew that this was just his emotions talking.

Lily isn’t a human so limiting her to a normal humans learning and development speed would be torture for an AI.

He just missed his old name…

“It’s a magic book about hiding energies.” Peter explained as he showed her a page, which was filled with spell circles.

“Wow, can I learn magic too?” Lily asks as she has seen Peter do a few spells over the months she’s been born.

“Maybe?” Peter answers unsurely. “We’ll have to test it once you have a body.”

“I’m so excited!” Lily exclaimed, as Peter pictured her jumping around with a smile on her face. “When do I get my body? I want to try so many things! Like pizza and clothes! I wonder what a hug feels like?”

“Well, I’ll try my best to get it done.” Peter smiles warmly at her excitement. “Though you have to promise that I get the first hug.”

“Okay, but Mommy might be jealous…”

…

After talking to Lily for a while, Peter was alerted to Thor’s arrival, though it wasn’t hard to miss, as the Bifrosts beam shot down and impacted the Towers roof.

‘I wonder if Loki is here?’ Peter thought as the banished prince tends to follow Jessica to work almost every day.

leaving Lily to one of her newest TV shows, Peter walked up to the roof, where he found Thor waiting alongside Jane, who must have come along with him.

“Yo!” Peter waved as he saw them. “Ready for training?”

—————————————————

Sitting around with a bored look on his face, Loki waited for Jessica to finish with some paperwork.

Ever since Jessica joined the Avengers, she moved her entire Alias Investigations office to the Tower, which has been extremely good for business, though she didn’t have much time for normal cases anymore.

While the two of them sat in silence, the tower suddenly started shaking, like a small earthquake was taking place.

Though those thoughts disappeared as Loki noticed a very familiar pillar of light, shooting down from the sky.

“Oh, sh*t…” Loki muttered as he saw the angled beam from a nearby window.

“What?” Jessica turns to look where he was looking and her eyes go wide in shock. “Is that?”

“I think my brother is visiting…”

A/N: Mine would be Dream of the Endless from DC comics. It changes a lot for me, but I was recently watching the Netflix show The Sandman, so it’s still fresh in my mind. I recommend you watch it if you haven’t already.
