I own nothing of the Marvel world. Just having some fun with a few of its characters. Please read and review.

….

The first day of school wasn't Kevin's idea of training. He imagined some sort of combat room filled with weapons as his ass got totally kicked. That would have been epic. Getting a class schedule and being shown around by the school keener was seriously lacking in the cool department. He followed Steve who seemed to be amused and amazed by every room they passed as there was some dramatic story about how some kid discovered something or was famous for being someone's parent.

"So yeah I pretty much showed you everything there is to see." Steve said slightly out of breath as he didn't take a breath the whole hour he showed Kevin around the school.

Kevin wasn't used to being polite or sociable so had to find something to say that wasn't rude or not nerdy as Wilber was supposed to be slightly on the Trek or Dr. Who side of things. "Thanks, wonder what room the TARDIS would land in if it came here? Um, yeah great I exposed my inner geek on the first day. Awesome."

Steve perked up at that sensing a fellow Whovian in his midst. "I would say boiler room, the TARDIS is inconveniently placed where the Doctor's companion can easily get captured."

Ok Kevin dodged that bullet but know would have to be friends with Steve for a while at least. "And where would a villain land in this place."

"Mr. Johnson's office. I have a theory he's the Master in disguise." Steve started laughing at some private joke. "Anyway, I showed you the school so um, I guess you need to get to class."

Kevin knew that line well. Steve was expecting to be rejected as the nerd of the school. He checked his schedule and smiled. "No, I've got some time. Then there's lunch after that I have math class with Mrs. Bea."

"She's great but if you miss any homework assignment there's not a soul that can help you."

Steve was part of a rather avid gaming group Kevin came to learn. He finally realized who his nemesis was on the group he played against for years. Steve just got bonus points for being the fourth best player online in the game.

"You're Gray Maven?" Kevin said in surprise.

"Um, yeah I may not have social skills but I can kick ass online."

Ok, this new high school thing probably won't be so bad after all. Kevin spoke with a few other people making sure his cover was never blown. Classes were difficult but the teachers didn't ignore him or scoff at him. They gave lessons that were very clear and even gave individual time to him to ensure that he would be able to catch up. Money does have its advantages.

After school he was picked up in a limo, not unlike some of the other boys. It was impressive to say the least and he jumped in the back to see a man in his mid to late 40's there. It was Loki but it took him a minute to remember as he was used to the younger more angular face.

"I trust that your first day went well."

"Yeah, uncle Leo."

"Glad to hear it." Loki was playing with the latest model of cell phone on the market. He caught Kevin eyeing it and decided to let the boy have a try at it. "Go ahead and tell me the difference between a regular cell phone and this one. But if you are not able to tear your eyes away from it for more than then minutes you'll have to study an extra subject outside of school hours."

Kevin wondered where this was going but wanted to know what he would get if he didn't pass the ten minute mark. Self-defense lessons would start first thing tomorrow.

The devise was very light and the screen moved like a dream. He searched online for different things and it was as if the devise knew what he was looking for from the little information he typed in. He forgot about the time and30 minutes later he looked up and saw the clock.

"Shit."

Loki took the cell phone and pocketed it. "Your new studies start tonight. I hope you enjoy astronomy because you'll need it."

That didn't sound too bad but he was sure there were a few strings attached. "That doesn't sound too bad."

"I'm sure you think that now but after an hour of it you'll think different."

Wanting to change the subject he looked at Loki's pocket his fingers itching to use it again. "That's really cool. The cell phone, I never thought anything would work that well."

"You want to use it again don't you?"

"Um, yeah." He had a hopeful sound to his voice.

Just then he heard a screeching sound from a device in Loki's hand.

"Ow! What the hell was that?" Kevin cupped his ears as he fell back into the seat with a splitting headache.

"That was me freeing you from the addictive effects of the technology you just used. Do you feel like using it now?"

Kevin was upset but knew better than to express that anger. But as he thought about it he realized that he honestly didn't care either way about using the cell phone and expressed as much. Then what he just experienced would be felt by the customers of the technology. "You're going to turn the human population into addicts?"

"And fully legal as well. There's nothing on the law books that says I am not allowed to and even if there were no one could prove it or would bother suing me."

"Genius." And very scary. He used it for only 30 minutes and he was ready to use it again. His head was clear but he was also leery of it. "When will it hit the market?"

"Tomorrow it will be in every retailer in the country save for those that only sell the iPhone. Apple just has to do things their own way. It doesn't matter too many people will buy this and after a few months Apple will follow or go out of business."

Kevin scoffed. "Good luck with that. There are people who worship Apple and Jobs is their God."

…..

Jane couldn't believe how quickly the weekend flew by. She packed as much as she thought she needed and was impressed by how quickly she was moved in. Aaron had one of the spare rooms prepared for her.

"I hope you like the view. I know you can't see the stars as well in the city but I know many that would kill to see this." Aaron entered the room with a knock setting down one of her boxes of books.

"You gave me a room. I don't want to take over…"

"You're not. I didn't want to be presumptuous and um…"

"Expect me to sleep in the same room, meaning bed with you?"

The blush on his face was evident she was correct in his thinking. "I'll let you settle in. Tonight we can order pizza and watch a really bad TV movie if you like?"

"That sounds like a great plan."

The doorbell interrupted their conversation and Aaron went to the door to answer it. He was surprised to find his brother standing there. "Ah Leo what brings you here so early? Is there something wrong?"

Loki was charmed to look as Leo and stepped in. "I just came in to welcome you to say hello and to tell you that Will won't be coming to dinner tomorrow. He's rather temperamental and I think it has to do with…"

Jane approached the door and looked a little sad as she heard the last part of the conversation. "Oh, it's because of me isn't it?"

"Don't worry you could be anyone and he'd have an issue. Trust me he'll get over it." Aaron reassured. "Perhaps we'll do a lunch thing this week. That way it's a shorter time and he won't feel the need to stay around."

"Yeah sure." Jane answered while looking at the stranger in the doorway.

Aaron looked between them. "Leo, come in. This is Jane Foster my girlfriend."

Loki took her hand and gave it a slight kiss. "I am so happy to finally meet the woman who brought my brother out of his depressive state. I was waiting for him to Goth and start up a band from his friends in high school."

"Jane this is Leondard but everyone calls him Leo."

"Pleased to meet you, Leo. Do you live here as well? I mean in the building?"

"Yes actually a few floors above. Locke telecom owns at least twenty condos in this building."

Jane was visibly impressed. Not quite Stark level but getting close. "I hear you're going to launch a new product tomorrow."

"Indeed I am and that's another reason I am here. I'll have to borrow Aaron for quite some time I'm afraid; last minute business before the launch tomorrow."

Jane nodded understanding it will be a very busy week this week. "Not a problem, I'll go finish unpacking."

"I'll be back in a couple of hours or so. Trust me then we'll have pizza and watch some really bad TV acting."

Jane's laughter filled the hallway. Aaron left the apartment with Loki but didn't say a word until they reached Loki's apartment.

Kevin was in his room but came out to see who was there as he heard two voices. He saw a man not quite as tall as Loki but older looking now that Loki returned to his normal features.

"So you must be my father."

Aaron turned to look at Kevin, visibly impressed. "And you must be my son. I see you got the attitude right."

"Whatever, so when do I get to meet this girlfriend of yours?"

Loki answered that. "On the weekend when you don't have school. You had a fit and didn't want to meet your father's girlfriend Jane Foster. You're having lunch together instead."

"Whoa, the Jane Foster? As in Thor's girlfriend Jane Foster?"

"Ex-boyfriend thank you very much. It was hard work tearing her away from a demi-god." Aaron scoffed feeling offended.

Loki was pleased that Jane was free from Thor but it won't last long. "How does she feel about by dear thick headed brother?"

"Hurt mostly from what I could tell. She was fascinated by him. Her whole life was dedicated in finding him by building that bridge thing to get to your world. I met her intern and got to her that way. You were right, to get to Jane you had to go through Darcy. You did your homework." Aaron was very pleased with himself as well as his smugness filled the room. But he wasn't finished. "I doted on her like most emotionally dumped women crave and she was mine. Had to be quirky, shy and someone slightly vulnerable but still held the protective nature that she likes. But to answer your question she's moved on and finds Thor's protective nature grating on her nerves.

"That's pleasing news to hear." Loki was impressed. A divide between Jane and his brother will eat at him. "Any trouble getting her to move in with you?"

Aaron gave a confident laugh. "I made it sound so safe that Jane was the one that convinced Thor. Even gave him my business card to check out my background."

Kevin listened and realized that being pissed off at this guy would be very easy to do. Upset teen with father. Let's drive a wedge between him and Jane. Jane got Thor to fall in love with her what does this asshole have that Thor doesn't? Hell Loki would be better for her than this duchebag.

"Yeah so when's the wedding?" Kevin blurted out sarcastically. "That would drive Thor nuts."

"Stay out of it you little ballsack." Aaron turned his attention to Loki. "She's almost ready to accept a proposal but not just yet. There are still some strings around her heart with Thor's name on it."

Loki was enjoying what he was hearing. Jane was only a few floors from him and Thor could do nothing about it. All Thor could do is monitor Jane's actions. A week's time and he'll no longer need Aaron. He wasn't sure what he'll do with Kevin but keeping such a loyal servant was worth the investment.

"Keep working on it." Loki gave Aaron a pleased smile. "I'm very pleased with the progress everyone's made so far."

"What has the kid done so far?"

"The name is Kevin and how I am doing really isn't any of your business now is it?"

Aaron turned to Kevin and sneered then brought his attention back to Loki. "He still has his training wheels on."

"He created a rather impressive online presence to support Wilber's validity."

Kevin smirked enjoying the praise Loki gave him.

"Good for him. Now there is another issue, Jane's intern Darcy Lewis. She's part of the package deal. Jane still wants to do her research but insists on keeping her. Darcy was trying to keep Jane away from the apartment due to the travel allowances. Coffee and free transport will take care of that."

Loki never thought much of Darcy but she could be used to further his plans to further ensnare Jane into his plans. "She's a political science major isn't she? That's what you call it on this realm?"

"Yes, and from what I have found she's rather good at what she does but she sees things that most don't and that could be problematic." Aaron wasn't pleased to have extra work to deal with.

"Um, just give her a phone to play with. I'm sure she uses the internet on her phone." Kevin piped in stating the obvious. "What kind of phone does she use?"

"What difference does that make?" Aaron shouted back.

Here's an arrow back at you. "If she's an iPhone user then it will be very difficult for her to switch."

"That's really stupid."

Kevin rolled his eyes and walked away from the conversation knowing before it was finished he had already won.

Loki was enjoying the competition between the two and was impressed that Kevin bested a man who was twice his age. "I'm sure you'll find a way around that minor issue. Well you should get back you don't want your girlfriend's mind to wander into dangerous territory."
