On the way back to New York, Peter's mind had been calculating one problem. How to arrange this girl, Sif? He couldn't have her following him around like a lost puppy every day.
Aside from how Gwen and Felicia would react, her curious nature was enough of a handful.
Throughout the entire flight from New Mexico back to New York, Sif rarely stopped talking. For this curious child, the more she started to understand Earth, the more she discovered that there were simply too many interesting things here. It made BGMs single-cycle in Peter's mind:
"I am Sif, the mischievous little one, facing the world and feeling very curious. I have countless questions, gurgling and bubbling up incessantly~"
"This iron bird can fly? How did it do it? Do you Midgardians also know magic?"
"This isn't magic, it's science."
"Science? What is that?"
"It's when you realize magic-like phenomena using Earth's existing resources without knowing magic."
"Midgardians are so pitiful. Something that can be easily handled with magic, you people have to study it for thousands of years."
Peter: ...
"What is this again? I like this, so delicious."
"Cheeseburger."
"Midgardians are so amazing, they can perfectly match bread and meat like this."
Watching Sif holding a burger in her left hand and a chicken drumstick in her right, tomato sauce smearing on the corners of her mouth without even having time to wipe it off.
Peter was both helpless and amused, thinking to himself, " Buddy, after landing, I'll get you some food, and then get you some bubble tea and spicy strips. Won't you just take off on the spot?
After landing in New York, the first thing Peter did was to use his authority as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to get Sif a complete Earth identity.
Name: Sif Odinsdottir. Nationality: Norway. Occupation: Special Consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Sif received the identification documents that still smelled of ink, her face was filled with complete incomprehension.
"This... what use does it have?"
"A passage permit to live on Earth." Peter stuffed a stack of documents into her hand expressionlessly. "Without this, you can't even find a place to stay."
Sif: "Can't I just live at your house?"
"Good thinking, next time don't ever think about it!"
To not scare Uncle Ben and Aunt May, and to not let Sif follow him around like a curious child asking about this and that, Peter stuffed Sif into S.H.I.E.L.D. right after landing, throwing the trouble directly to Hill. The reason given was dignified:
"You said you want to know me, then you have to know the world I live in first. Earth's culture, rules, ways of the world—you have to learn these from scratch."
"And S.H.I.E.L.D.'s missions will allow you to get in touch with all aspects of Earth at the fastest speed."
Sif thought about it and felt that this made a lot of sense.
"What about you?"
"I am the Director, I have my own work to handle, and besides, I have to go to school."
"Go to school? I want to go too!"
Peter spent ten minutes explaining to Sif that if she wanted to go to school, she could only go to primary school and sit with kids under 12 years old. He finally managed to make her give up the idea of going to university with him.
"Then... when can I see you again? Remember? I have to observe you at every step to see if you are a suitable candidate for marriage."
Hill, who was seemingly working beside them but was actually eavesdropping on the gossip, couldn't help but look up. She gave Peter a look that seemed like looking at scum, as if to say: tui~scum! Even a girl with incomplete mental faculties can be fooled!
"I will come to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to work irregularly. At that time, you will naturally be able to see me."
"Oh, right, one more thing."
"What matters?"
"Where are my competitors? I should at least meet them to see if they are qualified to compete with me, right?"
"Whether they are qualified or not, you won't win against them. I will not abandon them for you, besides..." Peter originally wanted to say, "If you really were to fight, you might not win against Gwen and Felicia!"
But the words on the tip of his tongue were decisively swallowed back down. Sif was naturally a combat fanatic. If he were to say that Gwen and Felicia were not weaker than her, this girl would surely go crazy on the spot. She wouldn't rest until she fought them for three hundred rounds.
Thinking about it, he decisively changed his words: "Now is not the right time for you to meet them. You should at least let me prepare them first, right?"
"What is prep—" Before her question was fully answered, Peter had already made a run for it, leaving the Triskelion on his flying skateboard.
After returning home and having dinner with Uncle Ben and Aunt May, Peter then went to the Hardys' villa. This was the meeting place agreed upon by Peter, Gwen, and Felicia. He prepared to explain everything about Sif to the two girls in one go here.
Just after pushing open the door, a golden figure rushed over.
"You finally came back!" Gwen hung from his neck, her legs wrapping around his waist, hanging on him like a koala.
Felicia actually stood up instinctively, too, but in her heart, she already acknowledged Gwen's status as the big sister.
Therefore, she didn't come forward to vie for attention. Instead, she stood in place, waiting silently for Peter to come over.
Gwen also seemed to have been in communication with Felicia these days about picking universities, and they had obviously returned to their previous status as good best friends.
So after a bit of affection with Peter, she got down from Peter, using going to the bathroom as an excuse, giving space for Peter and Felicia to be alone.
She ultimately couldn't bear to watch Peter and another girl getting affectionate, even if the other party was her good best friend. So, it seems Peter's plan to satisfy everyone still has a long and arduous journey ahead...
Immediately after Gwen went into the bathroom, Felicia rushed over, truly like a clingy black cat rubbing and rubbing against Peter. While rubbing, she softly sniffed, then frowned and asked: "How come there's a strange scent? Do you have another cat outside?"
Hearing her say that, Peter automatically thought of Natasha's snow-white and fluffy wolf tail. Speaking of it, those two are exactly one black and one white now, one cat and one wolf... not knowing if they would clash later.
Shouldn't be? Natasha was still very mature and rational, and didn't have the heart to join in. She probably wouldn't even have the opportunity for one-on-one time with Felicia privately.
Thinking about it, Peter nodded to himself, then spoke: "I had Gwen come to your house to wait for me just to tell you two about this. It's a long story, let me explain it to you two slowly..."
About five minutes later, the two girls finished listening to Peter's experiences in New Mexico.
"So," after a long silence, Gwen spoke first, her voice very calm, but vaguely with a bit of low pressure: "You got to know another goddess in Asgard, and she just said she wants to pursue you, and you brought her back to Earth?"
