Hector had never expected to meet Peter Parker this early without even looking for him. But, when he saw him now, he felt nothing but pity. The boy watched other families go around in envy because this was something he could never have. As his parents died when he was just four years old.
"Well, Peter Parker, why don't you join my partner and me on shopping?" He suggested. But knowing that the boy was smart, he would reject it since he was a stranger to him.
"Woof!" Moony walked over to them with Diana after the lights turned green for them.
Peter stared at Moony for a good minute and felt like he had seen him before. "Mister First Good Boy of America?!"
"Wuf!" Moony nodded his head and patted Peter's head with his soft fluffy paw.
Then Peter looked at Hector, and his eyes widened, "M-Mister President?"
"FINALLY! YES! It is I, Hector King Washington. But how do you recognize me? You were born long after I left?" He asked him cheerfully. This was the first time an average person on the streets pinpointed his identity.
"I watch a lot of documentaries on Netflix." Peter proudly revealed. This was one of his favorite pastimes at home.
By then, Diana had also come and invited the kid, "Come with us, we were going to shop for a few things. By the way, have you been a good boy? Hector here will be going around with Santa delivering gifts this year,"
"Hehe, I'm not a child, ma'am. Santa is fake," Peter shook his head.
But Hector stayed silent. When Peter saw his serious face, his heart skipped a beat, "He's fake, right?"
"Bwahaha... why don't you stay up on Christmas eve? See it for yourself. But let's eat something now. I'm starving."
Moony nudged Peter with his head and made him walk along. Soon, Hector entered a mall-like store with various shops of different brands. When Hector started to buy some gaming consoles, Star Wars lego sets, and other gaming items, Diana went ahead and bought many branded clothes for Peter.
Despite him telling them not to, he ended up owning stuff worth a few thousand dollars and a single banana. Banana was from Mooney that he somehow managed to buy without being shooed away by the shop owner. He was seriously considering starting a Dog Rights movement at this point.
"W-What am I going to do with all this, sir? I don't have enough space." Peter asked in concern.
Hector shrugged his worries off, "What? You only see the boxes. Throw them away later. The clothes can be stored anywhere. Banana can be eaten right now. Ah, I forgot to buy you a new flat-screen television. Will the 42-inch LED one be alright? I hope it is,"
(●__●)
"Why are you buying all this for me, sir?" he asked in confusion. After all, no stranger is ever kind to one another.
Sighing, Hector knelt to Peter's level and ruffled his hair, "Kid, I'm constantly calling every American my children in speeches. I don't lie about that. Besides, I'm supposed to be awesome, and this is what awesome people do. Now don't worry and just click a photo with me. Your guardian will need proof of how you got all this,"
"Umm... my phone..." Peter took out an old Nokia phone with no camera.
"Oh dear, let's buy you the latest iPhone then." Diana held Peter's hand in hers and walked straight to the apple store.
Hector sighed as he watched and talked with Moony, "I know all these things can't substitute for his parents, but they sure can keep him excited and occupied until this New Year passes."
"Wowww?"
"Sure, I will get you some gifts. And you're going to be joining Santa's raindeers this time." He reminded the good boy.
Soon, the four went to a nice high-class restaurant and had a fantastic dinner. But after it turned 8, Peter's phone started to ring constantly. Hector knew it must be from his aunt, "Son, I think you should head home. I have called a premium taxi service. They will also drop all your items at your home. Take care and study well; maybe we will meet again,"
As Peter proceeded to sit in the car, he stopped in the middle and turned around, "Thank you, sir... ma'am."
"Hey, just call me Grandpa and her... just call her Diana. Now go,"
Peter nodded and sat down. He originally wanted to hug him, but his self-doubt and introverted mindset stopped him from doing so. All he could do now was hope to meet them again someday.
"This was a pretty strange but great date," Diana said.
"How about a movie then? I heard this movie called Inception is great. I will book the hall to allow Moony in," he suggested.
Diana thought about it. Knowing that Moony was the biggest movie buff among them, she agreed as this way, the two could have some alone time in the back. "Let's go then,"
...
Three hours later, the movie ended, and the three walked out. Moony seemed disoriented and was losing balance. ~Dad, the film made my brain hurt. A dream inside a dream... did he come out of it? I WANNA KNOW!~
Hector had to buy him another ice cream to cool off. It seemed that such complex concept-related movies didn't go well with Moony's doggo brain.
"Let's call it a day then,"
...
As the little family headed home, a few states away, the blonde god of thunder was the reason for the headache for a woman named Jane Foster. She tried her best to keep the man from breaking things, but he was so dense at taking instruction.
He would pick things randomly and break them. Up until now, he had broken five plant pots, a fish tank and the toilet seat. How he did the last one was unknown. How do gods poop? It was unknown.
"Please, can't you for once just sit in your place and do nothing?" She requested for the gazillionth time.
"This world is so weak, human named Jane Foster. A mere touch of mine is enough to harm things. Fine, I shall sit if you will indulge me with the nectar."
"You mean beer? You drank all of them. I brought ten boxes of cans. How is your liver not dead? No more. It's midnight, and stores are closed. Just go to sleep," She pressed her forehead.
Thor stood up and headed straight out, "I shall not take commands from a mortal. If I must go on this quest to find nectar, I shall and fight the heavens if I must,"
Jane ran after him as well, having no other choice but to do this. ~Where the hell is Darcy today?~
She could not rely on her professor either, so there was nothing much she could do. The town they were staying in had no major shops open, but there were pubs. So Thor went there and demanded booze.
"Mortal, step aside and let me be seated," Thor tried to push away the man sitting by the counter.
But Thor was ignored, for which he decided to move the man himself. So he put his palm on the man's shoulder, "Are you deaf?"
*WOOSH*
"No, but you'll be armless. Alien."
All of a sudden, claws appeared on the man's fist, and they slashed at Thor, who was able to doge by a small distance. He was shocked, "You are the man from before. The servant of that old man."
Logan's brows twitched, "Servent of Pres? No wonder you were banished. Your brain didn't develop after the first year of your birth, it seems,"
"No, I actually studied with the best trainers in Asgard and was always the best at fighting," Thor replied.
"I think he's making fun of you," Jean clarified. She, too, felt Thor was dumb.
"He mocks me? Haha, fine. A fight he wants, a fight he shall get. Mjolnir, come!" Thor kept his right arm hung to his side and smugly started at Logan.
However, ten seconds passed, and nothing happened. His smile went away, and he remembered where he was and why. Then he noticed Logan walking towards him with a fearsome grin. "Fuck! Oh holy father, grant me strength."
*WOOSH*
Logan's claws missed Thor's neck by an inch. But this time, Thor felt threatened by it, "Are you attempting to slay me?"
"You're a god. This shouldn't kill you," Logan argued and leaped again.
"I was a god. I'm now a—mortal!"
Finally, he accepted what he was now. The very thing Odin wanted him to do. But Logan was not here to help him; he just wanted to fight. Thor just happened to be the first guy to mess with him tonight.
"HAAAA!" He leaped and steered the claws into Thor's shoulder.
*BAM*
Thor picked a chair from the side and slammed it on Logan, breaking it apart like it was a movie set prop. "You're strong, mortal. But not as experienced as me... TACTICAL MOVE!"
*WOOSH*
Thor suddenly ran away straight out of the shop. Logan followed him behind, but as soon as he went out of the shop, out of nowhere, sand fell into his eyes, followed by Thor's laughing, "Haha, you can not fight my ingenious fighting experience,"
Logan smirked, "Foolish of you to think my eyes are my only senses."
Of course, he was a wolf. And this meant Thor was utterly fucked.
