Request by Guest on FanFiction Net! There's not a lot of teen interaction... I just couldn't find a way to work it all in, but there is some Mom!Loki down at the bottom! I really hope you like it!

It had been a slow night of crime fighting for Spider-Man as he sat on the room of a building to eat, which he was thankful for. He wasn't in the most cheerful mood to be dealing out sarcastic quips with bad guys, no matter how many good ones he had thought of earlier in the day. He supposed that the rest of his class felt the same way, considering that even Flash didn't give him too much hassle towards the end of the school day.

Who would be happy when they found out that their field trip to Manhattan was going to be canceled if they couldn't find a chaperone by Friday? It was Wednesday night now, and no adult was able to just drop everything to spend time with a bunch of teenagers... He would have asked May, but he knew she would be working on that day. The Avengers were an option, but half of the team was out of the country on a mission and the other half had their own things planned for the week... Not to mention that he just couldn't ask them for help after everything they had already done for him...

"Well, look who I found?" A smooth voice called from behind him, causing Peter to jump slightly, He soon smiled as he recognized the voice and turned to smiled at the man walking the roof to him.

"Loki! What are you doing in Queens?"

"I was bored and went for a walk," Loki shrugged, going to sit on the edge next to Peter. "Why do you seem upset?"

"I'm-"

"I heard you sighing from the street; don't even try to deny it."

The way Loki's eyes narrowed at him almost comically reminded Peter of the way May got when he tried to hide a present from her. It almost made him laugh.

If he wasn't sighing again, that is. "Remember that school trip I told you about? My class was going to Manhattan for some kind of historic art concert thing? One of the adult chaperones canceled today, and if we can't find a new one by Friday then the whole trip will be canceled... No one's going to volunteer on such short notice though, so the class has sorta given up hope already. I don't really blame them."

Loki nodded slightly; he remembered Peter talking about the trip well. The boy had been so happy about it, saying that the show would be 'so cringey it was great' and rambling on and on about it. It was such a stark contrast against the Peter that sat beside him now while talking about the same topic.

"Stark and May won't be able to go?"

"No, both of them are swamped with work; and I couldn't ask anyone to go anyway, it wouldn't feel right for them to take that much time out of their day for me."

Loki was ready to argue with him right then and there, because the boy needed to finally learn how pretty much every adult in his life would be more than willing to sacrifice their entire existence for Peter's sake, but held back a bit. Because that would make Peter feel guilty if anything ever did happen...

"I'm sure everything will work out in the end," Loki patted Peter's shoulder as they looked out at the skyline. "Someone must have free time to go, you'll see."

As it turned out, Loki was right. The next day at school, Mr. Harrington announced that they had a new last minute chaperone. He wouldn't say who it was, looking almost scared as the students persisted, but Peter didn't care who it was. Someone's relative had freed up time for them and now they could go on the trip.

He would definitely thank them Saturday.

Imagine Peter's surprise when he saw the Prince of Asgard leaning against the bus with the other chaperones, being gawked at by the students and adults alike while he read his book. He quickly walked over with wide eyes.

"Loki...! What are- How did-? I thought you were busy!"

The book closed and disappeared in a flash of green as Loki sent a smirk at Peter. "I was, but you needed a chaperone, right? So I changed some things on my schedule to help you out."

Peter's eyes widened, his mouth opening slightly in shock. He was going to say something, he should definitely say something... maybe like how he wasn't worth that but he was really grateful and all that, but the look in Loki's eyes... There was an emotion in Loki's eyes that had him stuck for words.

"Thank you," Was the most that he could say without getting choked up. He had seen that look in May's eyes when she would surprise him with new shoes, or when Mr. Stark had snuck in to one of his decathlon competitions when Peter gave the winning answer... Peter knew what that emotion was, and no matter how many times someone showed it to him, it always left him feeling warm and happy...

"Of course," Loki nodded, pushing off the bus as Mr. Harrington called for everyone. From the corner of his eye, he watched Peter stay near him in the small sea of teens. Loki had seen when the boy's eyes had gone misty, but he was thankful no scenes were caused. While Loki would do pretty much anything for Peter at this point, and he was glad that Peter was finally starting to understand that, he had no idea how to treat a crying person. Peter didn't seem like the type to cry like that, especially not in front of a crowd, but if there was one thing he had learned... anything was possible when it came to Peter.

As it turned out, anything was possible when it came to Peter's classmates as well. Loki had faced many terrible foes before, but none of them would ever compare to the monstrosities that now plagued him.

"You work for Spider-Man now, right?" One boy asked, nearly pushing Peter out of his seat next to Loki.

"What's space like?" Another asked from behind him.

"Can you give a message to your brother for me?"

"What's it like being an Avenger?"

"Are you really an Avenger?"

Loki grit his teeth together as he glanced at Peter from the side, muttering quietly so no one would hear, "Seven..."

Peter's eyes widened as he stood up from his seat and faced his peers, "Okay guys, stop questioning him so much; it's kinda overwhelming, don't you think?"

Most of them nodded sadly in agreement, going to their seats again to talk with their friends. Of course though, Peter wouldn't get that lucky... there was always that one-

"Don't think you're so hot now just because you're sitting with an Avenger, Penis," Flash laughed, roughly tousling Peter's hair.

Peter stiffened as he glanced to the side, seeing Loki's eyes wide with shock and growing rage, aimed right at the annoying boy. "Flash, I really think you should go sit down now..."

"Or what? You'll get the Avenger to avenge you?" Flash laughed as he placed a hand on Loki's shoulder, "Nice try, but everyone can tell that you're just pushing yourself on him, it's not like he really cares about you - or a bunch of kids like us. He's just here because you probably begged on your knees for one of them to-"

"If you wish to keep your hand," Loki started with a low voice, "I suggest you remove it from me this instance, you mindless cur."

The students that were still nearby all moved away, some even hopping seats to give Loki, Peter, and Flash much needed room in case there was a fight. Flash was obviously confused at first - why on earth an Avenger wouldn't want to be touched by him was mind baffling - but his survival instincts soon kicked in and he quickly yanked his hand away.

However, Loki wasn't finished with him yet. The man stood, towering over the teen with a hard glare. "I know your minuscule human mind can't hold much information in it, but I advise that you remember what I'm about to tell you, and remember it well because your miserable life may depend on it one day. This boy-" Loki's hand landed on Peter's shoulder, "- is under my protection. And if I ever hear you call him anything other than his name again, I will make you regret ever being born in the same city as him."

The entire bus was silent, Peter nervously looking around for Mr. Harrington talking with the driver outside and out of hearing distance. At least he didn't have to worry about them getting kicked out... Flash however-

Peter had to stop himself from laughing as he took in Flash's expression. He had never seen the other boy so shocked - not even when Spider-Man stole his car during Homecoming. His eyes were wide and nearly about to pop out of his head, his mouth hanging open like a fish out of water as he tried to form words but failed terribly. He really shouldn't be laughing... he should be reining Loki in so he wouldn't kill anyone. He shouldn't find Flash's suffering so utterly hilarious.

"Loki, I think that's-"

Before Peter could finish, one of the boys in the back of the bus started clapping and soon brought the rest of the class in too. They apparently had been waiting for this moment for a while...

Flash sent a quick glare at Peter before going to his seat, and Peter knew that he'd probably pay for Loki's speech later on... But he really couldn't care right now.

"What's going on here?" Mr. Harrington asked as he and the driver came inside the bus, looking around with a confused smile at the happy students.

"Mr. Loki just gave a really good speech is all," Ned explained quickly, patting Peter's shoulder from across the aisle. When Mr. Harrington nodded and went to sit, Ned leaned over and whispered, "That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen...! Not only is Tony Stark looking out for you, but so is freaking Loki...!"

Peter glanced over at Loki, the trickster sitting again with his book and seemingly ignoring the world around him. But Peter could see the small smirk that he was trying to hide behind the pages of that book.

"Yeah," Peter agreed, "It's really awesome."

A/N: shameless Spider-Man merch flaunting. I got this plush a few weeks ago when I went to see Spider-Man: Far From Home. My mom took it away though and claimed that she would save it for a Christmas gift later on.... But she has changed her mind and given it back and I am very happy. If you ever see a car with this plush on the dash, it's probably me XD

"I'm starving," A girl murmured to her friend as they were leaving the concert, leaning over half-way with her hand pressing against her stomach. "I didn't eat last night or this morning, and my parents didn't give me any money to get something today either..."

Loki frowned as he looked over his shoulder at the girl who said that, zeroing in on her in the small crowd of Peter's classmates. "What do you mean you didn't eat? It's unhealthy to skip meals like that."

The girl blinked in surprise as she stared up at him and shook her head, "I'm trying to diet-"

"No." Loki turned his full body to her now with a scowl, "You are a young woman that is still growing, you need food to grow. Not to mention that your body is perfect the way it is." He glanced around at the group and frowned more as he saw more stances that implied hunger. "How many of you haven't eaten this morning?"

More than half the students raised their hands, Loki's eyes narrowing in on Peter trying to make himself small with a look of guilt plastered all over his face. Human children were idiots...

"Educator," Loki called to Mr. Harrington in the middle of the foyer to the concert hall, "find us a place to eat. These children need nourishment."

The teacher's eyes widened as he immediately began shuffling everyone back to the bus, rambling about how starvation was 'no laughing matter.'

"Dude," Ned grabbed Peter's sleeve, "did the Prince of Asgard just become the reluctant mom friend to our class?"

Peter laughed, but watching as Loki bought food for everyone later on... he didn't deny that Loki had definitely become everyone's mom friend.
