Hero's Charity
Chapter One: The Auction
It was a nice morning one fine and sunny New York day. For once the city of New York and it's surrounding neighborhoods were actually in peaceful harmony. People were rushing to work, others were rushing because they were at work, and others were just rushing. Life was actually pretty good. Which made it all the more apparent to one Peter Parker that something was not right in the world. Which it was.
"And why are we having this charity event again?" Peter asked for what felt like the hundredth time.
"Believe me kid, I'm not as happy about this as you are." Clint grumbled beside him on the couch. Peter would have laughed at the way Clint was flexing and twitching like he was either about to run or shoot an arrow, probably both at the same time, but he was so not in the mood.
"At least you had a heads-up." Peter muttered darkly.
"Cheer up Peter, this event benefiting charity cannot be as bad as you are making it sound." Thor boomed slapping his shoulder. Before the spider bite Peter would have flown across the room from Thor's strength and would have landed in the hospital. Now, it would just bruise for a day or two and he would be fine.
"Wish that damn spider would have bitten me later so I didn't have to do this."
"I'm surprised Tony and Steve are letting you participate in this." Natasha smirked from her spot across him.
"It was either this or patrol the city while this event was going on. Dad and pops didn't want me 'alone without back-up' so they signed me up for this." Peter sighed. "Honestly I'd rather be patrolling right about now."
"The event doesn't start until six." Natasha reminded him.
"Steve got him to promise to stay here." Clint added in. Peter nodded dejectedly. "By the way, how did they rope you into doing this Thor?"
"What is so wrong about helping charity?" Thor asked.
"You're being sold on a date." Peter said. Thor smiled.
"This Date cannot be so bad. I have battled much fiercer opponents than Date." Peter looked at Clint and Natasha who had a raised eyebrow.
"I'm gonna tell him." Peter stated.
"Don't you dare kid." Tony ordered coming out of the elevator. "He wants to help charity and he is."
"He doesn't even have the full picture of the consequences Stark." Clint replied.
"And that's his loss. Really I'm just as surprised as you that no one's told him." Tony looked at Thor. "Steve needs to see you downstairs." Thor got up but paused to place a hand on Peter's shoulders.
"Do not worry so much little arachnid. This Date will not be the one to defeat us. We survived even deadlier foes." Tony was rolling his eyes behind Thor's back. Clint had a smirk set in place while Natasha had an eyebrow raised.
"Someone has to tell him." Peter stated when Thor was safely in the elevator.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Steve will. Killjoy." Tony sighed before looking at Peter. "You know that tonight you'll have to wear the suit as will the rest of you."
"Why aren't you doing this?" Peter asked grumpily.
"I'm married Peter."
"So am I." Clint protested. Tony gave him a look.
"To Captain America?" Clint grumbled under his breath.
"Might as well be with how often I'm here and not home with my wife."
"Quit complaining Barton. Man up." Nat teased. "Who else is in this charity auction? We never got the full specifics."
"Pretty much all the Avengers, with the exception of Steve and I. Scott should be here soon. Vision and Wanda will be working the behind the scenes stuff with us. Sam's participating. Bruce is locked in the lab again so I'll need to smoke him out an hour before. Mr. Fantastic and his motley crew will be here but only the Human Torch will be participating."
"And the bad guys are actually going to let us go through with this without making a peep?" Peter asked. Tony narrowed his eyes already knowing what Peter was trying to do.
"Nice try spidey but you're not going to be on-call for this."
"Dad!"
"It was Steve's idea, not mine." Tony smoothly deflected.
"And we're all going to be in suits for this?" Clint asked.
"Yep. Who would skip on getting a superhero's date?" Tony waved his hand against the looks. "Anyway, the point of this is to just spend three dates with the person who wins you. After that, you don't have to talk to them again."
"Sounds like prostitution to me." Peter grumbled folding his arms.
"You're a spunky little firecracker today son. About time you started acting more like your dad." Clint sniggered at Peter's rolling of the eyes. Nat merely smiled before asking,
"How do you know whoever buys Peter will take care of him?"
"Nat!"
"Easy, I had Friday do a background check on everyone we invited. If any of them attempt to kidnap Peter Steve will be barging into their lair ready to kill."
"And of course the rest of you will be right behind him." Peter sighed.
"Exactly. So this is a win-win situation for us. We can't participate directly but we can have Happy buy Peter if we think someone unorthodox will win him."
"Great. Three dates with Happy." Peter drawled sarcastically. "I've heard enough of this failure in the making. I'll be in the gym."
"Can you even have Happy barge in? Everyone knows his loyalty is to you and Steve. Won't that be against the rules or guidelines?" Clint continued behind him.
"If that doesn't work then we'll just have Bruce buy him and say it was a fluke." The elevator closed behind Peter. He sighed but the tips of his lips pulled into a smile. His dads really were doing this charity for a good reason and the chance to help others was almost enough to have the go head from Peter. But it was going to be so awkward to go on a date with someone he didn't even know or even liked. He really hoped a gorgeous woman or man bought a date from him. Not to criticize Happy but those three dates were going to be the worse.
When he reached the gym he shed his street clothes for the spandex red and blue suit of Spider-Man that he wore underneath. It was good that the Avengers knew his identity but the rest of the world was still oblivious to the fact that Spiderman was Peter Stark.
"Friday, can you dim the lights and prime the courses?"
"Of course Spiderman." Peter loosened his muscles by jumping while Friday set the courses for him. At the sound of a gun going off adrenaline filled his veins and he took off. The next hour started with saving dummies, running drills, acrobatic maneuvers that often gave his dads a near heart attack and several non-training drills that involved him messing around with this webs.
He was messing around with said webbing to create one giant web when the doors opened.
"SPIDEYYY!" Spider senses tingling, Spider-Man whipped around to see Deadpool already flying towards him on what looked like Sam's wings.
"Stop you idiot!" Spiderman shouted jumping out of the way. He winced as Deadpool crashed into the wall. The silvery wings were no doubt going to need to be fixed and tinkered with again. It was quite until Deadpool hopped out of the wreckage.
"Oops." He giggled. Spiderman sweat-dropped.
"You're an idiot. Why are you here? You know Tony doesn't like you." Hell half of the Avengers didn't like Deadpool but it would be rude to say that. Spiderman hung around with the merc but according to his dads that only happened once in a blue moon. With Deadpool here that was sure to get blown out of the water. "I thought I told you to stay away unless we're working a job together."
"Oh I know! But I ran into something that I wanted to ask you about." Deadpool giggled hysterically. "I'm getting to that White! No we haven't said anything about his ass yet. Shit, don't listen to what I'm saying right now Spidey. Except for that part, and that part."
"Will you just get to why you're here?" Spiderman sighed crossing his arms.
"Oh right!" Deadpool started patting himself down while mumbling under his breath. "I had it here somewhere. Nope that's the ammo. That's the back-up ammo. That's the back-up for my back-ups. What am I doing with this?" Spiderman ducked as Deadpool threw a mouse trap his way. Unintentional or not Spiderman wasn't sure. "AH HA! FOUND IT!" Deadpool pulled out a crumpled up paper and straightened it as best as he could.
"Deadpool~!" Spiderman growled out.
"Ooh, I like it when you say my name Spidey. But I'll save that for later. I wanted to ask about this." Deadpool handed Spiderman a crumpled up invitation of the Charity later that evening.
"Do I even want to know where you got this?"
"I didn't unalive anyone if that's what you're thinking. But is the fine print true Spidey?" Spiderman looked over the invitation to see the 'Dates' being offered. Number five was Spider-Man. Under the mask Peter was imagining maiming his dads. "So Spidey? Are you being put up for auction?" Spiderman met Deadpool's too close eyes.
"Uh, yeah. Unfortunately."
"Ooh, so anyone can buy you?"
"It's a date Deadpool. And its for charity."
"So I have your permission to buy you?"
"What?" The shock increased when Deadpool held up his thumbs.
"Don't worry. All my dates have ended with us in bed. But I'll make sure you don't forget this one."
"DEADPOOL!" The red clad super suits turned to the door to see Tony and Steve standing there with an enraged Sam.
"MY WINGS!"
"Welp, gotta get going baby boy. See you tonight! I'll be the one in red." Spider-Man blinked as Deadpool activated his teleporter and disappeared.
"Peter?" Steve asked. Peter just groaned in horror.
"Can I get out of the event now?"
o.O.o
In the end, not even Steve Rogers threats could get Peter out of the charity event. And with Deadpool's offer to buy him the anxiety was enough to practically kill him.
"Are you ready Spiderman?" Vision asked coming up to him. Peter shrugged. "Just remember your fathers won't abandon you."
"Where are they anyway?" Peter hadn't seen Steve nor Tony since he was hauled off to backstage.
"Wanda went to look for them." Vision held a hand to the headset. "Okay Pe-Spiderman, you're on."
"Remind me to web dad's lab up for this later." Vision smiled but nodded as Peter took a deep breath.
"And number five is the one and only Amazing Spiderman!" Spiderman shot a web at the top of the stage and swung onto the stage as the applause started to die down. When he appeared the applause seemed to get louder. The announcer, Selena, smiled at him. "Show-off."
"Gotta let the people know I'm the genuine article." He quipped back.
"Well they believe it." She cleared her throat and spoke into the mic. "We'd like to remind our audience that this is three dates, wherever you wish, with Spiderman. I can promise you ladies he is a gentleman through and through and for you guys," she winked, "he's a keeper."
"My webbing list is getting longer." Spiderman huffed. Selena only smiled wider.
"Who would like to start the bidding?" The stage lights were an annoyance to Spiderman as they blinded him from being able to see further than the first three tables closest to the stage. Still, was that a familiar shape in front? Peter was distracted a second later as the first bid came.
"$1,000." A man called.
"$5,000." A woman called.
"Whoo! Anyone else?" Selena called. "Come on people, he's a young, strong specimen who would love to carry you all over New York and treat you like his princess."
"Where do you live again? Queens?" Spiderman growled.
"$10,000." A too happy voice yelled. Gasps sounded as Spiderman's head snapped up. The familiar shape he'd seen was indeed his worse nightmare. Deadpool was sitting at a table right in front of the stage with his legs cross and hands in the air like a child. "Hey Spidey!"
"$10,000...?" Selena saw Deadpool at the same moment everyone else did. "Ooh, do I have any other offers?"
"$15,000!" Spiderman's ears caught the unmistakable timber of Happy spluttering.
"Nay! $18,000!" Deadpool cackled. Spiderman face-palmed.
"$20,000!" A woman called out from the back. Or at least Peter assumed it was the back.
"$30,000!" Selena giggled.
"Wow, he's determined to have you ain't he?" Spiderman was groaning into his face-palm.
"This is just going to get worse." Spiderman groaned as Happy shouted out,
"$50,000!"
"Hey, I'm bidding here fatso! $100,000 for the one in red and blue!" Deadpool shouted. Cheers sounded while Spiderman just shook his head in defeat.
"Any other offers?" Selena called happily.
"$200,000!" Happy called. A yelp sounded and Deadpool's struggling voice called out.
"$300,000! Anyone else?"
"That's my line!" Selena shouted before composing herself. "Any other offers?" She asked sweetly.
"Don't do it, please don't do it." Spiderman muttered. Selena ignored him.
"Going once, going twice, sold to the man in red and black. You can claim your date at the back now."
"I will find you, and I will web you Selena."
"You can try honey." She laughed.
"'WHOO!" Spiderman shot a web and quickly fled off the stage while Selena did damage control. Vision met him backstage.
"Well that didn't go according to plan." Vision offered.
"Gee, ya think?" Spiderman asked sarcastically.
GM NASAI: So this is the first time I'm writing something other than Naruto fanfic. I'd really like some feedback so I can improve cause I'm not that knowledgeable about Deadpool. And yeah, kill me for that but I really liked him movie and from what I've been getting caught up on, he's a good character. In other words, I started reading Spideypool, fell in love, and wanted to write some. The inspiration for this story is not mine, I got it from tumblr member, spidey-pool prompts.
Minor note here, I have a AO3 account, but I don't really use it that much, but this story will be posted there too under GMNASAI. So don't go firing any guns. Please. I'm just a simple child of the internet. Anyway review please!
