Chapter 13 - 12. Christmas: Part 2

(First PoV)

I headed towards my parents home, bypassing the traffic by swinging through the city.

Nick Fury and Clint Barton know that I am Silk. So I should go with the assumption that SHIELD/HYDRA knows.

Afterall, I don't trust Fury.

First thing first, I need to make sure that my family is safe.

How did Fury even found out that I am Silk?

Because I was snooping around AIM to get my hands on Extremis?

...Alright. As soon as Loki invades New York, I am taking the Mind Stone and become the dictator of North Korea behind the scenes.

But before that, during Loki's invasion, didn't Hawkeye get controlled?

That means that my family WILL be in danger.

...

Well, let's have the party first. Too much stress is not good for me.

What if I got a mental block in using my webs, like in Spider-Man 2?

Let's not take too much stress and enjoy.

----------------------------

In a Santa cosplay, I arrived at home, with gifts and cake.

*Ding dong*

Lil bro opened the door, and the first thing he did was take off the bags from my hand. And then, took out the gift and started tearing the gift wrap excitedly.

"Not even a Merry Christmas to your big sis?"

"Oh. Merry Christmas Big sis!"

He didn't even look back, too engrossed in tearing apart the wrapper.

"Aa!"

I smacked the back of his head and sat down on the sofa.

"Cindy! Are you there!?"

Mom shouted from the kitchen.

"Yeah! I brought the cake! Where's Dad!?"

"Went somewhere outside! His friend called him or something!"

"Oh."

Lil bro threw the gift wrap that he tore on the ground, for which he received another smack, and he ignored the pain because of the gift in front of him.

A gaming laptop.

I whispered, "I got SmackDown vs Raw 2009 and 2011, and GTA San Andreas and GTA 4 installed in it."

He happily hugged me, "You are the best Big Sis ever!"

Mom came from the kitchen, first scrutinized me for my Santa cosplay, and then looked at the laptop on the table.

"Why did you spend so much on this? We already have a computer."

"Nah. That's a turtle. This will be good for his studies."

As if.

"Yeah. Alby, remember to study well."

"I will, Mom!"

"Mom, this is for you."

I took out a smaller box from the bag, and gestured her to open it.

"Cindy, there was no need—"

"Okay."

I put it back in the bag.

She stared at me, unimpressed.

I giggled.

"Why do you always say things like this Mom? Just be direct and accept."

"Just give it when your Dad comes. I will give your gift when this naughty boy sleeps. I had to hide it somewhere or he would have tore away the gift wrap.

And Albert Moon Jr, I am not cleaning the mess you made. Pick it all up while your Dad comes."

"Augh- Uck! Fine! I'll do it!"

Mom's threatening gaze compelled him to clean up his own mess.

Why isn't Dad here yet?

While Mom went back to the kitchen, I roamed around the house to find any surveillance items.

Surprisingly, there were none.

Strange... Fury didn't do anything?

That's more suspicious.

Or is my Silk Sense not detecting anything because nothing is exactly watching me?

I looked under Mom and Dad's bed.

And there was not even a mic there.

Is Fury actually respecting boundaries?

What scheme is he upto?

I heard two pairs of footsteps outside my house, and my Silk Sense started blaring.

I went to the hall, and Dad and Captain America, aka Steve Rogers entered.

"Honey! You wouldn't believe it, this is Captain America!"

I shot Cap with a Silk bullet in the head, and though it didn't do much, the illusion shattered, and it was revealed that it was Loki.

Damn it!

I shot several webs and tied my family to me, ignoring their confusion and screaming, and swung out from the window while covering our faces.

Damn it!

I barely missed an arrow aimed at my head, and just as I grabbed it to throw it back at take out Hawkeye, an electric current ran through us.

"AAAAAARGGGHHHH!"

I barely felt some shock, but for my family, especially Lil bro, it was...

"I surrender!"

I put down my family in the garden, letting the electricity running through them go to the ground, and turned back.

A lot of agents surrounded me, led by Hawkeye with blue eyes, signifying the control of Skeptre.

"I don't think you want to kill me. Just don't harm my family, and I will do whatever you want, willingly."

Loki came out of my house, with his typical punchable face and punchable smile. With the Skeptre.

"Well, I would surely like an intelligent one like you in my ranks. Atleast you are better than my brother in recognising my tricks. What gave it away?"

"Captain America is dead. Since like 60-70 years ago."

Hawkeye said, "She is lying. We informed her that he will arrive here. She even asked him to come."

"I mean, who would trust shady guys like you!? I knew it! You just want to use me by threatening my family!"

Loki chuckled, "You have got it wrong. These guys don't work for the shady governments that you don't trust.

I am Loki of Asgard. And as your God, I have come to give this world the freedom from the shady governments!"

He stepped close to me. Just a hand away.

"Honestly, I didn't mean to come off like a threat. I apologise. I have no intention of using your family to threaten you.

These guys are... new. I apologise for their mistake."

I punched at my right, and grabbed the Sceptre from invisible, actual Loki.

Just as he flew away I used Sceptre to put Loki under my control.

Spider-Man can beat all the Avengers combined. I can atleast handle a Loki.

Thank you Silk Sense.

Now... what to do with Loki? I don't exactly like him crashing our Christmas party, especially because he wanted to enslave me and kill my family.

Well...

I guess I will accept the Sceptre, containing the Mind Stone as a Christmas present and kill this puny god.
