"Well isn't this a nice surprise?" came the snide voice Thor knew all to well, "For what do I owe the pleasure, brother?" The forever green clade figure straightened it self up from the bed in the corner of it's cell.

"I have a job for you, Loki." Thor said, approaching the see-through side of the Frost-giants cell.

Loki came forward, smirking in his evil way, "For me? Well, I'm sorry but I can help you from in here!" he tapped the glass to emphasise his point, sending yellow sparks rippling across its surface.

"Well, if you agree, I will assist in your escape." Thor glanced over his shoulder before moving closer.

"You make it sound like I already have a plan to escape." Loki sneered, the usual devilish smile in place on his pale face.

Thor didn't reply, he knew Loki spent every waking hour plotting and planning. "I need your magic to capture a Midguardian. If you help then I will bargain with the Allfather on the terms of your punishment. If you betray me, then I will tell Father that I was wrong when I said that you didn't deserve the traditional punishment for treason."

Loki hide his fear an execution behind a wall of indifference. "A Midguardian? Why would you need me for that?"

"Its complicated." Thor said, shortly.

Loki raised his thin eyebrow, "With holding information? You're turning in to me." he smirked, "When do we start?"

Peter slumped against the side of the supermarket, running his hand over his side. He grimaced as lightening pain forked up the whole of his left side, he didn't want to look at his injury but his hand came away bloody. He hadn't realised that the archer had released his arrow, probably the shock of the speed of the kleptomaniac but Peter hadn't seen it coming towards him till the last moment when it sliced through his side. Peter took a breath and looked down. It wasn't deep but it was bleeding badly, blood dripping down on to his jeans, darkening the black. By some miracle, it had missed his t-shirt as it had been ridden up by his speed. It will heal quickly, he thought desperately, I always heal quickly.

He glanced round the corner of the supermarket, what he needed now was supplies: food, water, maybe a bandage or two. A young lady was just going through the automatic doors, now was his chance. To stay almost invisible, he needed to keep on the move meaning he didn't have time to wait for the doors to open, he had learnt that the hard way.

The whole world froze around him, everyone slowed down to almost unmoving. A dog was caught in the act of barking, a child's ice cream was slowly falling to the floor, a man by the door was stretching his face in the middle of a shout at a boy whole was frozen in a running position. In the deafening silence of the space between time, Peter looked round in relief, no-one could catch him here, he was in his own little bubble of speed and no-one could move as fast as he could. He jogged to the open door, slipping past the young lady, into the main food aisle. Shops hadn't changed much since his time; frozen food and fruit were always nearest to the tills; boxed and sugary foods furthest away. Peter headed to the back of the shop, to the food that most suited him. He was upset when he had first found out that lots of the sweet things he liked had been discontinued but he had had more pressing matters to deal with then. Like why he was in this time and how he got here, who was responsible? He remembered the Professor and the man with claws, breaking out the man who could control metal from the pentagon. Weeks later he had woken to see a group of men in his basement bedroom. But they weren't men, Peter recalled, they were almost alien.

One had reached for him with a blue hand, dripping with a black goo that glowed blue in its core then he had found himself in a familiar building. He broke out easily to find himself in a world he didn't know.

Peter loaded a rucksack he had 'found' in the clothes aisle, along with several blankets, with all the food he could reach, this latest speed-up would cost him a lot of energy that he needed to heal his side. With the bag full, he proceeded to the pharmacy corner, slipping some bandages in to his pocket. His side had started to ache, Peter knew he couldn't carry on for much longer or he would just make it worse. He started limping, if he could just make it to the door, which was still open. He was almost there, almost. Then his leg gave way, he slip sideways, crashing to the floor and time sped back to real time.

Silence filled the shop as everyone saw the boy lying on the floor, blood dripping slowly from his side, who hadn't been there a second before. Somewhere, child screamed which broke the spell. Everyone erupted in to chaos, most people were backing away from the teenager, bleeding on the floor in a state of shock. He had never lost speed before, never. He needed to get going again fast, he could hear the noise of phone cameras all around him. Though he only found out about the internet just a week ago, he knew how fast just one image could go across the world, he forced his way to his feet, the air felt like treacle. Pushing his way through the crowd that parted in front of him like fish in a giant shoal, Peter got to fresh air. Breathing deeply, he sped up his run to a full out sprint, turning past the park and down an alley. He collapsed to the floor, hands grasping his side in pain. Hocking out the bandages from his bag, he stripped down to his waist, only after checking the alley was deserted. As he didn't have much doctoring knowledge, he made do with just wrapping the binding around his torso, tightly, until the bleeding stopped. As he replaced his clothes, the adrenaline fueled energy drained from his system. His eyes fogged and he only had time to push his new backpack under his silver head before darkness covered his mind.

About three hours later, Peter woke to his sisters voice.

Hey! Just saying to all those Americans watching, I am English so I'm using the English term for things even though they're American films! I just don't want to get it wrong and make a fool of myself!

Please review just so I know I actually have people reading this!
