🕑 Added 2023-01-27 19:59:34 +0000 UTCAfter sitting in on Thor’s training, and watching Hawkeye get his a*s handed to him for a while, Peter left them to their business and went on his way.
He had to work on masking the Reality Stone's energy and also figure out Lily’s body, so Peter didn’t exactly have time to laze around forever.
At least, not at the moment.
—————————————
That night, whilst Loki drowned his sorrows in liquor, a familiar man took a seat beside him at an empty bar.
“What can I get you?” An elderly bartender asks from behind the bar top.
“The same as my brother.” Thor says as he turns to see Loki glaring down at the bottom of his glass. “I don’t remember you being much of a drinker...”
Loki didn't bother responding as he downed his glass and snatched the drink that was meant for his brother.
“I thought we could have something in common for once.” Loki says jokingly as he downs Thor’s drink next.
Without a word, the older bartender refilled both glasses and gave the two brothers some space.
“Hehe, well I haven’t had much time to drink like I used to.” Thor laughs as he grabs both glasses and downs them within seconds, matching his little brother.
...
Throughout the night, both brothers drank enough liquor to kill lesser men. Neither brought up any family drama or politics, merely keeping each other company while using liquor to help ease the situation.
By the end of the night, Loki passed out in his seat, sleeping soundly while hugging an empty glass like a treasured teddy bear.
“I hope you come home soon, brother.” Thor says genuinely as he pats Loki on the back and stumbles out of the bar.
As he left, Loki picked his head up from the bar top just in time to see a glimpse of the Bifrost’s light, shining through the windows.
“Sigh...”
-One month later-
After spending a lot of time researching, Peter crafted his own spell, which could block the Reality Stone’s energy signature from leaking past a certain distance.
Looking down at his new tattoo, Peter sighed as he could finally use the Aether without worry.
The tattoo itself looked like a very complicated spell circle that sat on Peter's right shoulder.
Its function was rather simple.
The spell binds itself to the Reality Stone's energy in Peter's body, muffling it like a sort of pistol silencer.
Though, like a silencer, it doesn’t completely hide the energy's signature but lessens it to a certain extent, so that no one outside of Earth would be able to pick up on it.
‘I think this is as good as I can get it...’ Peter thought as he summoned a bag of chips and started eating.
Of course, the possibility of Earthly adversaries coming for the Aether was always likely, but that was far better than an entire universe.
‘I’d much rather have some weak meta-humans come looking for it than alien armies or god-like entities.’ Peter thought.
Finishing his chips, Peter tosses the bag to the floor, where it crumbled into nothing.
One good thing about the Reality Stone's lack of permanence is the fact that all foods will disappear from his stomach soon after being eaten, allowing Peter to eat whatever he wants without any fattening repercussions.
Of course, Peter never had to worry much about that, but the woman in his life certainly found the ability extremely appealing.
When May first found out, she spent the day pigging out on whatever she could think of, yet she actually lost weight in the process.
Of course, she couldn’t do so regularly, as a healthy diet is important, but May certainly enjoyed a few reality bending snacks every now and then.
As for the other Infinity Stones, Peter would have to get a separate tattoo for each of them, as the one he has now would overload if it had to mask the energy of more than one of them.
Especially the power stone, which would break just about any spell with its raw energy.
Though, that was alright, as Peter didn’t mind getting a few interesting tattoos in the future.
‘This one’s pretty cool...’ He thought as he stared at himself in the mirror. ‘I wonder what MJ will say...’
...
When Peter figured out how to mask his use of the Reality Stone, an idea popped into his head.
“...” With a single thought, a working normal-sized clone heart appeared, floating in front of him.
The heart is a perfect mix between Peter's and MJ’s DNA, and had no defects or other issues.
‘It may disappear, but that doesn’t mean I can’t study it and learn what I’m doing wrong...’ Peter thought as he portal’d over to his lab and started working.
—————————————
Another month passed and Peter was finally starting to make real progress with Lily’s body.
Thankfully, only a tiny bit of the Aethers energy was used to make a single organ, so Peter was able to constantly produce them for study.
Sitting in a machine, which mimics the functions of a humans Circulatory system, a healthy heart sat pumping blood into tubes, which would simply recycle it back to the heart over and over.
‘I finally did it...’ Peter thought with a victorious smile.
Today, The first lab-grown heart was created, bringing Peter one step closer to fulfilling Lily’s wish.
“Oh, what’s that?” A familiar voice asks as footsteps come pacing over.
Looking over his shoulder, Peter couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the intruder in his lab.
“Tony, you should really respect other people’s privacy.” Peter admonished as he knew that Tony either hacked his way through the doors, or had Jarvis do it for him.
“Don’t be such a shut in and I won’t have to break into your lab.” Tony says as he ignores Peter and looks over the heart curiously. “Are you growing organs? What for?”
“Sigh...” Peter let out a frustrated breath as he didn’t bother replying.
“Come on. You can tell me.” Tony pleaded as he made a sign with his hand. “I won’t tell a soul. Scouts honor.”
...
“You know what, okay...” Peter says as he eyes Tony like a devil with a deal to offer. “I’ll tell you, but you have to do me a favor in exchange.”
“Deal!” Tony, being the naive soul that he is, agreed instantly without a second thought.
“Alright, come with me.” Peter opens a portal and steps through.
...
As Tony followed him through the portal and into a huge room, filled with shelves full of servers and other tech, the voice of a little girl calls out.
“Dad? Is that you?” Lily asked hopefully.
“Yes and I brought a guest.” Peter says as he pulled Tony and pushed him in front of Lily’s camera. “This is your Uncle Tony. He’s very excited to meet you.”
“Huh?” Tony grunted as he instantly put two and two together. “You made an AI daughter? That’s what you’ve been hiding in your penthouse?”
“Yup, and now you get to babysit her the next month or two.” Peter says as an evil smirk forms on his lips.
Of course, Peter isn’t just abandoning Lily to Tony, as he would never put her through such cruel torture.
It’s just that Peter has been busy with making her body, so he doesn’t have unlimited time to spend with her, making Tony the perfect babysitter to fill the hour or two that he or MJ would be gone.
Especially since they have school as well, though Peter doesn’t always attend as MJ does.
“You want me to babysit an AI child?” Tony asked incredulously.
“Are you saying that you don’t want to spend time with your cute little niece?” Peter questioned back.
“Do you hate me, Uncle Tony?” Lily asked sadly, somehow on the verge of tears.
“No! That’s not it.” Tony exclaimed.
“Really?” Lily asked unsurely.
“Yes, I could never hate my niece.” Tony says as does his best to smile warmly at the camera.
“Good, since your love your new niece so much, I’ll leave you two to spend some time together.” Peter says as he opens a portal to his lab once again. “Don’t mess with anything. Especially her code. If I come back and my daughter is suddenly a boy or only speaks Mandarin, then I’ll be extremely p*ssed.”
“Dad said a bad word...” Lily says pointedly as Tony nods toward Peter understandingly.
“Sorry...” Peter apologizes for his language.
Stepping through the portal, Peter turns back for a moment.
“Thanks for agreeing to the favor, Uncle Tony.” Peter smirks as the portal closes.
‘He got me...’ Tony thought as realized that he was fooled.
Suddenly, it donned on him exactly what the lab-grown heart was for.
“Lily, is your father making you a body?”
——————————————
Peter sighed in relief as he ditched Tony on his daughter, who would certainly make his life hell for a while.
After all, playing cyber house with an AI kid wasn’t the most fun activity an adult could go through.
Of course, Peter wasn’t afraid that Tony would mess with Lily’s coding, as Peter warned him and the computer interface for it is locked behind tons of encryptions.
Not to mention the fact that Lily was now mature enough to guard her own coding, which Peter made sure to emphasize the importance of long ago.
‘Tony would have to do some evil sh*t to bypass everything.’ Peter knew that his friend wouldn’t stoop that low.
Throwing his worries aside, Peter got right back to building Lily’s body.
Since the first organ was made, Peter knew that growing the rest of her body would be child’s play.
The only thing that he needed now was a way to bring everything together.
‘Either I sow her up like Frankenstein or I use a bit of the Mystic Arts...’
