Answers to reviewers questions or statements:
spiderman1fan: Yeah Peter wasn't expecting to get the drop on Maximus when he decided to head for the Savage Land, he just wasn't expecting for Magento to make such a big show of it.
Harbinger of Kaos: Agent Quake won't be based off the Agents of SHIELD version, she'll be more in line to her comic book counterpart and how she'll gain her Inhuman powers will be different then both.
cabrera1234: Really, weird.
justafan: Yeah Xavier from the Ultimates comics isn't as heroic as his mainstream counterpart or his cinematic version. As for Peter talking sense into Magento, I don't think he'll listen at this point, guy's too far gone but maybe one day, assuming I don't kill him off when I get to the event that'll replace the Ultimatum event. The reason Charles doesn't know about Wolverine's mission is because in the Ultimates universe telepaths can't read someone's mind if they have their skull coated in Adamantium. The Inhumans would never align with Magento the same reason why he won't align with them, they don't see a fellow superpowered race to form some kinship with, they see competition.
Spawn Hades: Charles isn't so much evil as he's willing to get his hands dirty for his kind's continued existence, granted mainstream Xavier has had his own moments that were less than paragon but he never went to the same levels as Ultimate Xavier did. Aside from the women sleeping with each other, no they won't be sleeping with anyone outside the harem..
treyalexander63917: She'll be based of her 616 counterpart in that she'll have powers with her personality being a sort of blend of the two but more towards her 616 counterpart's side.
Chaos Sorcerer: Yeah Peter is aware that his parents are planning out his marriage, he doesn't know who it's with yet though so he's a little nervous. As for how many Mutants there are, the natural ones like Selene, Apocalypse and Wolverine only number in the hundreds maybe low thousands, the Mutants that were created from experimentation on Wolverine like in the Ultimate comics numbers in the high hundreds of thousands to the low millions by this point. Inhumans number at around a hundred million or so and their spread out across several hidden cities and small communities. Daisy and Bobbi will be more affiliated to their 616 mainstream counterparts, same with Carol and Emma. Yes Ahura was the son that Maximus killed, how and why will be revealed later on as we delve deeper into the Royal Family's past. No Magneto is unaware of the existence of Inhumans, he just thinks Maximus is a powerful Mutant. When the Inhumans reveal themselves to the world, they'll quickly show they aren't a race that can be pushed over like humanity has been doing with Mutants, mainly because their actually organized and have a leader that can level cities with a whisper.
Warning: Sort of a lemon towards the middle of this chapter!

When Peter first arrived in the Savage Land with Cyclops, he was expecting his uncle to be long gone. Having slipped away when Magento decided to make a big deal of his and Cyclops 'joining' his side.
What he didn't expect was for him to show up not even several days later and sit down right in front of a shocked and even terrified Peter who was busy eating a sandwich he made earlier without a care in the world and a mad grin to match it.
"Sooooo my darling foster Nephew, what brings you all the way out here?" Maximus asked with a grin as he stared into Peter's very being with his dark eyes.
Peter stared at the man for a moment and tried to move before he found that his body wasn't responding!
'Great, he's telepathically grabbed me, but how the hell did-'
"You're probably wondering how it is that I haven't triggered that sixth sense of yours hmm?" the man Inhuman asked with a grin.
"…Maybe" Peter said with narrowed eyes.
At this Maximus grinned as he held up a small device "Something I've been tinkering with for a few days now ever since you showed up. To be honest this is me seeing if it works and considering I was able to sneak up on you, I'd say it was a success!"
"Well bully for you!" Peter said with growing annoyance.
At this the grin on Maximus fell and his face grew cold "Careful Peter… Medusa isn't here to protect you from me…"
"Who say's I need her to protect me?" Peter asked with a growl.
Maximus shrugged "Don't know to be honest, I'm just going off the memory of her coddling you after you and she found out I tore your mother apart before jamming her entrails down your father's throat"
At this, Peter tired with all of his might to break free of Maximus's hold on him and strangle the smirking Inhuman.
"You're not getting out of there any time soon dear Nephew, after all if Blackgar couldn't, what makes you think you could?" Maximus questioned with amusement.
"Luck" Per snapped at the man.
"Eh fair enough" Maximus said with a shrug before he stood up "Well if you need me I have some last-minute things I need to see to. Don't be a stranger dear nephew, I'm quite interested to hear how things are going back home. As well placed as my spies are, they can only tell me so much only every so often about the going on's in Attilan these days"
Peter watched as his uncle gave him a wink before he made his way past Peter, still frozen in place before the sound of the door shutting echoed through the room. After several minutes, Peter finally felt the invisible grip on his body release, allowing Peter to let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding and rub his forehead that was now starting to hurt.
"Well that could have gone much, much better" Peter mumbled out before pushing his half-eaten food away and running a hand across his face, wondering what he was going to do now.
With just this simple encounter, Maximus has shown that he can and will off Peter whenever he wanted to and the adopted son of Black Bolt would never know he's coming unless the mad Titan wanted him to know…
"Times like this I wish I had reality warping powers or something instead of spider powers, make things soooo much easier" Peter said with a sigh as he sat up and go for a walk around the fortress if to nothing else help clear his mind.
…
Wanda let out a lust filled moan as she came after spending the better part of an hour slowly rocking her hips as she rode her brother Pietro who responded with a grunt as he continued to hammer up into her while his hands gripped her bountiful breasts and gave each nipple a light tug.
"Yes… yes… oh god yes Pietro!" Wanda began to chant as her brother increased the speeds of his thrusts when suddenly he flipped them over and began to hammer her into the mattress as she wrapped her legs around his waist and began to kiss the sides of his face while letting out low gasps as he would hit her sweet spot on occasion.
"God Wanda, you feel so good… my perfect beautiful sister…" Pietro grunted into her neck as he continued to thrust into her tight core at blurring speeds, the action causing Wanda to moan even louder and her eyes to almost roll into the back of her head when there was a loud knock at the door, causing both to pause in their rutting.
The twins were just about to continue, finding their love making more important than seeing who was there when the muffled voice of their father spoke up, causing them to both pale at the growing impatience and anger in his voice "Wanda, open this door now or I will…"
"Y-Yes father!" Wanda said as she climbed of Pietro who quickly rushed about the room gathering their clothes and dressing themselves before the hex powered mutant opened her door clad in a small red silk robe that barely could be called modest and was nearly brushed aside as Magneto entered the room and glanced at his son with a look of disdain.
"You can continue to rut with your sister like a pig later boy, for now leave us. I have words to exchange with her" the man said as he folded his arms across his chest.
Pietro glared at his father before nodding "Yes father…"
He then raced by the two in a silver streak, leaving the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants and his daughter alone. After several moments, Magneto shut the door and glanced at Wanda "Wanda tell me… what do you think of our recent initiates Peter and Scott?"
Wanda's brow quirked at this as she adjusted her hair "What do you mean father?"
"Do you believe either one is perhaps worthy to one day lead the Brotherhood in the event of my demise?" Magneto questioned his first-born daughter with a narrowed look.
Wanda was taken back by the answer "But what about Pietro?"
"Him?" Magneto scoffed "While your brother is many things Wanda, a leader is not one of them"
"…What about me?" Wanda questioned.
Magento stared at her for several long moments before he shook his head "As I said for your brother, you a great many things but being a leader isn't one of them"
He then turned to leave "I would prefer if you begin to spend more time with Cyclops and Spider-man, whichever one you find more appealing…"
"Yes father" Wanda mumbled a little sadly to hear that her own father doesn't believe she has what it takes to lead or even her brother and that she's now being asked to start spending time with two people that she really could care less about, even if one of them did briefly peek her interest when they first met.
It was then that Magneto stopped dead in his treks as a thought came to him "Wanda, if you do happen to try and pursue Spider-man… ask him what he knows of Maximus"
"Why?" Wanda questioned.
"Lately Spider-man has been asking around about the man and I wish to know why that is. It also has come to my attention that Maximus himself has been rather scarce lately and a man as powerful as he is, is not someone I wish to ever lose track of if I can help it"
Wanda nodded at her father and watched him leave before she let out a tired sigh, what arousal she still possessed from her vigorous romp with Pietro was now effetely dead and she found herself heading to bed for sleep when a distant roar caught her attention. Wanda paused before wandering over to her balcony and looked out into the nighttime skyline of the Savage Land and watched as a small heard of some sort of prehistoric beast wander around the nearby lagoon before they scattered as the same loud roar echoed through the air again.
Wanda frowned at the sound before leaning on the railing and letting the warm breeze wave through her hair and robe, the action causing one of her breasts to be exposed to the pale moonlight, the nipple growing erect form the cool air. She stood there for several minutes observing the night time sky before she caught sight of someone moving below her balcony in a small courtyard. She narrowed her eyes as she recognized the form of Peter in his suit, the red spider he had on allowing her to better identify his form amongst the metal and stone of the fortress that wasn't exposed to the moonlight or lights.
'What are you up to little spider?' Wanda thought as she saw the man pace back and forth for some time before yet another roar, this one sounding more in pain then the previous tore through the air and caused Peter to stop in his tracks and look towards the direction the roar originated from.
Wanda watched as Peter stood there for several seconds before he began to slowly walk in the direction of the unknown roar before he broke into a run as the sound thundered through the night again.
'Interesting…' Wanda thought before she called over a pair of boots, some pants and a bra before quickly slipping them on and using her powers to help her float and fly after the man who had now exited the city and was silently rushing across the shallow lagoon towards the jungle, all unaware of his follower.
…
Peter silently leaped over a large moss covered log and landed in a crouch on the muddied ground as he silently scanned the dark jungle for any movement. Aside from the sounds of numerous insects, the rustling of leaves in the trees and his own beating heart, he didn't hear anything. He stood up slowly and was just about to leap into a tree and climb to the top to get a better idea of where the roar was coming from when suddenly he heard just up ahead.
"Hmm they sound close…" Peter murmured as he sprinted towards the source of something large moving around and came to a stop just shy of a small clearing by a large river that the lagoon he waded through earlier connected to through a series of knee and waist deep streams.
There lying on the bank of the rushing water was something that caused Peter to both tense in wariness and nearly squeal like a fan girl in delight.
It was a T-rex!
"Huh, a very large red T-rex" Peter said with interest as he made out the scarlet pigmentation of the ancient creature's skin "I dint even know you guys came in this color, would make trying to ambush prey a pain in the ass… then again with your size and infamous jaws, anything's fair game no matter the size"
It was then the T-rex reared its head and roared again and it was then that Peter saw what was causing the large behemoth to make the pained sounds it has been the past few minutes.
It's leg that was facing him had several large gashes in it and Peter also saw a large piece of either bone or wood sticking out the side of it's leg. The injury caused Peter to wince as he even from this distance he can make out a steady stream of blood running down the powerful limb. Peter took a few steps forward in caution before coming to a dead stop as the Rex's head whipped towards him with enough speed that he half expected the neck to snap.
Peter quickly threw up his hands and began to speak in as soothing as a voice he could towards the alpha predator "Whoa easy big guy, I'm not gonna hurt you"
The large dinosaur let out a deep exhale of air through it's nostrils before it let out a short but loud roar that caused Peter to take a small step back. The Rex ceased it's roar and returned it's attention to it's injured leg and began to lightly lick it in attempt to try and help it heal and prevent any sort of infections. Peter watched it with a critical gaze as he saw the Rex growl in pain as it accidently brushed the jagged object imbedded in it's leg with it's snout before it pulled back and rested it's large head on the wet sand and let out a huff that blew a small could of sand into the air.
Peter waited several moments before he began to slowly approach the wounded creature, being mindful to remain in its line of sight and to stop when it made some sort of movement with either it's head or long powerful tail.
"I'm not gonna hurt ya big guy… I know it don't look like it but I'm a friend… or well as close as a person can be to a giant flesh eating dinosaur" Peter said as he steadily approached the tense T-rex before he very, very slowly extended his hand out and waited.
The red skinned dinosaur stared at Peter for a long moment, it's gaze unwavering before it slowly lifted its head and angled it's snout towards his hand… and touched it.
"Whew… for a second there I thought you were gonna try to take a bite out of me" Peter joked as he carefully rubbed the scaly rough snout of the massive animal before him for several long minutes while casting brief glances at the injured leg.
After the Rex pulled his snout back Peter very slowly began to approach the large leg that was trembling slightly. Peter felt his spider-sense briefly flare up as the Rex's head shot up and let out a huff as Peter neared its wound. Finally, he came to the wound and Peter saw that it was bone based on the faint smell he was picking up from it, then again it could be just the Rex he was detecting as quite a bit of flesh was exposed around the edges of the impaling object.
Peter glanced to his left and saw the Rex watching him, ready to snap if Peter tired anything. He let out a loud groan "You are not gonna like this big guy"
Before the Rex could comprehend what he said, Peter grabbed the limb and with a fair amount of strength on his end, tore the bloodied object right out of the Rex's leg, causing a small geyser of blood to hit him in the face and for the Rex to let out the a near deafening roar that made Peter wish he didn't have enhanced senses like hearing.
His spider-sense flare and he just narrowly leaped out of the Rex's leg lashing out in a knee jerk like reaction before he was smacked away by the beast's large tail, knocking the wind out of Peter and causing him to yelp in pain as he felt one of his ribs break under the force of the blow.
'Thank god I've reinforced this suit somewhat; else half my rib cage would be broken instead of just one and the rest bruised from the feel of it!' Peter mentally shouted as he landed in a roll and quickly crawled away from the thrashing and roaring Rex.
After placing several meters between him and the rampaging Rex, Peter aimed his web shooters at the limb and shot a mall little projectile that impacted against the wound. The Rex briefly stopped in it's tantrum and seemingly glared at Peter before the projectile shot at it's bloodied leg erupted into a small explosion of web fluid that quickly began to fill the wound, causing the massive dinosaur to hiss in pain and to lower itself to the ground or risk toppling over in pain, the adrenaline now having worn off.
Peter quickly fired off several smaller 'web bombs' and watched as they impacted against the bleeding wound on the Rex's limb and detonated, further coating and covering the blood and gashes until it looked like the red skinned animal had a sloppy cast on it's powerful limb.
"There, hat should hopefully staunch the bleeding…" Peter said as he stood up but not before letting out a hiss as he felt his broken rib flare up in pain "Okay ow… note to self, avoid large thrashing tails in the future…"
The Rex was too busy examining its covered led to notice Peter slowly make his way to a nearby tree stump and slid down against it and propped an arm up on his knee and sat there in silence as the Rex would give experimental licks and smells to the odd substance covering it's leg before letting out a small huff and resting it's head on the cool wet sand, content that it's leg was now hurting less…
"Heh, like a splinter huh?" Peter questioned as he made himself more comfortable in the sand "Hurst like heel when it's in, hurts like hell when it's pulled out but once it is, relief!"
The rex didn't respond as it laid there on the shores of the river, it's tail slowly twisting back and forth as the large animal's breathing began to slow and it's movement ceased. After several minutes, Peter watched as the large dinosaur seemingly drifted off to sleep, leaving Peter to his thoughts.
"…Impressive" a woman's voice spoke up behind Peter, causing him to jump and nearly scream in pain as he further aggravated his broken rib.
Peter looked to see Wanda dressed in a less than modest silk robe, a pair of black knee high boots and some loose-fitting pants.
"What are you doing out here?" Peter asked in surprise.
"I could ask the same of you Peter" the beauty said as she folded her arms under her generous bosom.
Peter stared at her for a moment before shrugging "Trying to earn my prehistoric veterinarian badge"
"Indeed" Wanda said as she glanced at the sleeping T. Rex for a brief moment before turning to leave "Come, it's late and the gates will close soon. You don't want to be out here when they do"
"If it's all the same, I think I'll stay here" Peter said with a wave of his hand before sitting back down and nestling against the tree stump "Sides, someone's gotta keep bid red here company and all that blood he leaked is bound to draw a few hungry mouths"
Wanda looked at the man strangle for a moment "Why? It's just an animal…"
"Yeah well I kind of have an affinity to animals, being part one and all" Peter said as he gestured to his spider symbol "Sides this is just the first step in my master plan to have a pet dinosaur and thee best way to get one is the tried and true method of stumbling across one when it's wounded and help nurse them back to health while protecting them from harm"
Wanda stared at Peter with a blank expression for several long moments, not sure if he was joking or not before she let out a exasperated sigh "Your weird…"
"So I've been told, but no seriously I already helped patched his leg up despite his less than cheery response, the least I can do is stick around and make sure he's not eaten by some roaming scavenger or another predator looking to earn an easy snack" Peter said as he returned to watching the sleeping dinosaur.
Wanda watched him for several moments before casting a brief glance back towards the distant lights of the Brotherhood's stronghold before she slowly made her way towards Peter and sat down next to him and brought her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees.
"Well might as well keep you company then… I'd rather not have to tell your friend Scott that you were eaten by a dinosaur because you fell asleep out here by yourself" the hex powered Mutant said as she brushed a few strands of her hair out of the way.
Peter turned towards her with a raised brow under his mask before he slowly took of his mask and took a deep inhale of the cool evening air before letting out a slow exhale through his nostrils "Hey Wanda…"
"Hmm?" the brunette glanced at the man with a raised brow.
"Are you squeamish by any chance?" Peter asked as he cleared his throat.
"Not easily why?" she asked.
"Just checking" Peter said before he lurched forward and for a brief moment she thought he was about to vomit before he did something else entirely.
He began to regurgitate webs!
Wanda made a slight face, more so at the gagging sounds he was making as he seemed to vomit out a large amount of web fluid before he let out a chocked cough and spat the remnants in his mouth farther away from the duo in the form of a loogie.
"…Okay eww" Wanda said with a shiver of slight disgust as she watched Peter dig his hands into the pile of web vomit in between his legs like it was putty and began to stretch out the sticky substance and mesh it together into something she couldn't quite identify yet "What are you doing?"
"Making a blanket to keep us warm" Peter said simply as he sealed up the tears and holes in the fluid by meshing the sheets together for several minutes until he was finally rewarded with a medium sized blanket big enough to cover both of them comfortably.
He wrapped his part around him before offering the other half to Wanda who made a slight face at the offered item.
Peter saw this and gave her a sheepish grin "If it helps it's not wet or anything"
Wanda glanced at Peter with an incredulous expression "You want me to wrap myself in something that not even five minutes ago you vomited?"
"It also helps keep the bugs away" Peter offered as Wanda swatted a mosquito that landed on her exposed thigh before she let out a huff.
"Fine…" she said as she took her half and wrapped it around herself and snuggled in close to Peter "At least it doesn't have the grotesque vomit smell I feared it would…"
She was also surprised by just how soft the fabric felt. It was like covering herself in silk, which come to think of it was. It was also incredibly warm as it trapped the heat between the two and caused Wanda to sigh in content as she rested her head against Peter's shoulder.
"Hmm, you can make a fortune selling these things. It's like a snuggie but softer" Wanda said with a grin.
"I could, but I don't need the money anyhow" Peter said with a chuckle as the two leaned against the tree stump and watched the Rex continue to sleep before them as the night ticked by.
…
Medusa and Blackgar along with a small contingent of royal guards stood silently on a small launch pad that was often used by the members of the Royal family for the arrival of the soon to be wife of their adoptive son and future high queen, Xiaoyi Chen.
Medusa was garbed in her ceremonial battle armor with her hair framed into an flowing but elegant curtain behind her and around her face while Blackgar had the cowl of his own armored suit down as he stared at the approaching aircraft with a calm expression.
"I still think he should be here to greet her in person" Medusa said as she linked her arm with Blackgar's.
'Even if he was here, he'd likely be holed up in his small lab with your sister and Lockjaw trying to coax him out' Blackgar mentally teased which caused the red head to smile in amusement as the image flashed before her eyes.
'True…' she mentally replied as the craft slowly began it's descent before it deployed it's landing gear and gently settled on the pad before a small ramp opened up and a young woman around Peter's age, maybe a year younger descended clad in a blue and black bodysuit that covered her entire body sans her head.
She also had a dark blue jacket on that seemed a little large on her and ended half way down her thighs with a small bag visible on her back. She had a young but beautiful face and all though her body was largely covered, it was clear she had an incredible figure that looked like it could one day be on par with Medusa's. Her raven black hair was cut almost shaved on one side of her head while on the other side and the top of her scalp it reached down to her shoulder blades almost.
The young woman came before the king and queen of Attilan and all Inhumans before she gave them both a respective bow.
"My king, my queen… it is an honor to be here" Xiaoyi said in a formal tone.
Medusa returned the bow while Blackgar nodded with the queen voicing both of their greetings "It is an honor to meet you my dear…"
Xiaoyi smiled slightly before she cleared her throat and began to glance around the pad "And where is my soon to be husband?"
"He's…" Medusa started off only to falter as she glanced at Blackgar who gave a slight nod.
'She doesn't need to know exactly why he's gone… not yet. But she can be told he's on an important mission for us' Blackgar stated.
Medusa nodded before returning her gaze to the future queen "Peter is currently deployed on a sort of… retrieval mission of sorts and won't be back for another few weeks I'm afraid"
"Oh…" Xiaoyi said a little saddened as she pulled her bag off her back and held it to her chest "I had a gift I wished to give to him… help ease any awkwardness or unease about the affair"
Medusa chuckled at this "Trust me my dear, he'll be very delighted to meet you when he returns"
She than held out her hand "Come, I shall escort you to his quarters so you can begin to settle in"
"Thank you your majesty…" Xiaoyi said as she carefully took her monarchs hand and let the older woman guide her to her future rooms.
"Think nothing of it my dear but I do have to ask… do you like dogs?" the red headed woman questioned as they disappeared into the citadel, leaving Blackgar on the pad before Karnak, one of the few Inhumans to not undergo Terrigenesis, suddenly appeared with the hood of his robes on.
"My king" Karnak said with a low bow.
'Karnak' Blackgar telepathically responded before glancing at his cousin 'Please tell me things from the city of Orollan are running smoother than in Aerie'
Karnak frowned "The current state of affairs in Orollan are… interesting at the moment"
Blackgar narrowed his eyes at the man and gestured for him to continue.
"There are many in the city and it's surrounding communities that wish to follow Aerie in leaving us and the other city states while a few wish to remain with Attilan and…" Karnak trialed off as he didn't know how to say the last part before letting out a ragged sigh and folded his arms across his chest "…There are some like Lor the current steward of Orollan, who wish for you to step down as high king… and reignite the trial of kings so that a new Royal line can be established"
Blackgar's eyes widened at this 'What?'
Kanrak nodded "They believe that your family for the past two hundred years have done nothing but lead our people into further decay and are beginning to question you and your family's legitimacy as the current Royal family"
Blackgar was silent, even more so than normal before he frowned 'I'm safe in assuming that this will be brought up at the summit in several days' time?'
"Most likely my liege" Karnak said with a grave expression on his face.
Blackgar mentally sighed at this before waving his cousin away 'Thank you for the report, though I wish it was more favorable then Gorgon's…'
Karnak nodded regretfully as he turned to leave "Whatever happens my king… Gorgon, Triton and I stand by you and the Royal Family"
'Of course you would… your all part of it after all' Blackgar mentally replied with a tired grin before turning to follow after his wife and give her… the news 'I pray that by the grace of my ancestors that the summit goes smoothly. I'd rather not have Peter come home to a broken and divided kingdom for him and Xiaoyi to one day rule… assuming we're still in power by then'
…
Peter let out a low quiet yawn as he watched the Rex was still asleep as the sun was beginning to rise over the distant mountain range. Wanda had long since fallen asleep and was currently nestled against his body with one of her legs draped over his own.
Peter couldn't help but admire how cute she look as she rested her head against his shoulder… he also had to hold back a laugh as she began to drool on him.
'If only I had a camera' Peter thought with a snort before he heard a deep huff from the dinosaur before them.
Peter watched as he large beast let out a long yawn before it began to slowly push itself up, placing a bit more weigh on it's injured leg than it did last night before glancing towards Peter and Wanda's form. Peter tensed slightly in case the Rex saw them as an early snack before it simply exhaled a stream of steam from its nostrils and turned and began to slowly make it's way farther down the river bank, its large heavy footfalls waking Wanda from her deep sleep.
"W-What?" she said groggily before letting out a loud yawn and began to rub her eyes before she saw the Rex's tail vanish into the jungle a few dozen meters away from her and Peter "I take it he's feeling better this morning"
"Probably" Peter said as he stood up and helped Wanda to her feet "Either that or your snores got to the point he's moving to somewhere quieter"
"I don't snore" Wanda said with annoyance as she kept herself wrapped in the silk blanket she and Peter used last night.
"Uh you kind of do, also you drool like your mouth's a waterfall" Peter said with a snicker as he brushed some of the drool she left off his shoulder which caused her to blush in slight embarrassment "Also you talk in your sleep"
"I do not!" she stammered.
"Do to" Peter said as he cracked his neck and then turned his torso until he heard a satisfying pop and did the same with the other side "Man, I really need to add cushions in this thing"
"Why not just make a silk pillow then?" Wanda asked before Peter looked at her with wide eyes before slapping his forehead.
"Dammit, knew I forgot something last night!"
At this Wanda couldn't help but giggle as she turned to make her way back to the compound with Peter right on her heels.
"No seriously, how could I forget to make a freakin pillow!?"
…
It was several hours after Peter and Wanda had returned from their sort of camping trip in the jungles of the Savage Land that Peter began to make his way towards Maximus's quarters. According to a few mutants that he questioned after returning and taking a long warm shower, he discovered that his mad uncle had left earlier this morning, where they didn't know nor care.
'Hopefully there's something in his room that can give me an idea' Peter thought to himself as he turned a corner and nearly ran head first into a large chest.
Peter backed away and looked up to see a large man with a helmet under his arm looking down at Peter with a slightly surprised expression. Peter took in the sheer size of the man with a low whistle.
'Damn, what do they call you?" he asked before snapping his fingers "Wait don't tell me, Behemoth right?"
"Juggernaut actually…" the man said with a slight frown.
"Fitting" Peter said with a nod while thinking that he's actually found a guy bigger than Colossus!
"So I'm told" Juggernaut said, unaware of Peter's thoughts before giving the smaller man a curious expression "Why are you here anyway?"
"Oh just going to raid Maximus's room, see where he went and all that" Peter said with a dismissive wave before narrowing his lenses towards the large brute of a man "Unless you happen to know where that sociopath went, because honestly I reaaaaally don't want to try and break into his room… something tells me that'd be a death sentence"
"And you'd be right" Juggernaut said with a frown "I'm not gonna ask what business you have with that man, but if you're so determined to find him, I know someone that can tell you where he might be… she tends to keep track of a lot of people that catch her interest"
"What is she, his girlfriend?" Peter asked.
"No… she just likes to keep tabs on people" the literal Juggernaut of a Mutant said as he gestured for Spider-man to follow him deeper into the compound.
…
And done.
Next chapter, Magento makes his move against the United States and the X-men and Peter and Cyclops struggle to prevent war between mankind and Mutants. Also Peter along with a unsettling but alluring ally discover just what brought his Uncle Maximus to the Savage Land in the first place…
