Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
kspidey2: We'll be seeing how the people at Xavier's school are taking all of this next chapter.
edboy4926: Soon, like within the next three chapters soon.
Jestalnaker49000: Carol will overcome this, if she can overcome the crap that Marcus, Mystique and Rogue have put her through she can get past this, mainly because this time she has support in the forms of Jessica and ironically enough, Peter.
Spawn Hades: In a manner of speaking we will but it won't pan out like it did in the comics. We'll see Peter and Mary Jane meet soon and discuss the status of their feelings for one another, same with Kitty. True but I haven't really heard from her since then, sure she makes that occasional appearance or mentioning but that's it.
MCRasengan: Something like that.
gemm1mt: We'll be seeing them next chapter.
Mezazra: I'm not too fond of the Superior Spider-man either, at least in how Marvel did it because the concept itself is a very interesting one, but the upside is that it's still a bit of a ways off and when it does happen, it won't be like what happened in the comics.
Guest: He might, for now I'm kinda putting him around different women to see what the fans like and if enough support calls for it, that'll be her.
keyblade master cole: I have something, multiple somethings in mind that will bring the two back together. Best kind of romance is the one that needs to be re-built from the ground up.
Justafan: That'd been neat if he was.
Dead922: Griffith Is the guy with the white hair, right? The one who's always got that questionable morality and makes you wonder what side he's really fighting?
Fenrir44: Let's just say that the whole Superior Spider-man thing ain't gonna go down like it did in the comics and leave it at the for now.
Dark King Marcel: I have a few reasons why I'm keeping them around, some it's for a shot at redemption while others… well it can be argued their punishment might be a bit extreme.
OmniPlanckInstant: Ture but it's not as dark as it was in the earlier chapters, things are moving towards a somewhat lighter tone. Yeah but can anyone really blame her? The Superior Spider thing won't be starting for a while actually, I just put that in there to show that Peter's enemies are planning. But you are right in that this won't end well… for a lot of people actually.
Gamerslegacy: She's actually a universal Inhuman but it does got me thinking for when Peter heads off into space later.
Greer123: It doesn't intentionally kill people, it just doesn't care if anyone's in it's way when it's moving through the place.
Harbinger of Kaos: Uh what bashing? All I had mentioned was that Rogue put Carol through hell, that really ain't heavy bashing, like at all. And it wasn't a mistake with what she did to Carol, she intentionally attacked and stole her powers and had done a host of other unsavory things with the Brotherhood of evil Mutants before joining the X-men. So I'm not sure what you mean when your saying I'm throwing it out there when the previous chapter was the first time that Rogue was called out on hurting Carol and even then it didn't go into exact detail other than an earlier comment made by Carol saying absorbing powers again during the fight in Wakanda.
EroSlackerMicha: Well the up side is that the Superior Spider-man arc won't really happen like what a lot of others are thinking.
Marveldcfan: Yeah, some will be doing it out of fear of Spider-man even though in reality they have no real reason to be afraid of him, the guy while he'll be bitter about the event wont hunt them down or anything. But some are doing it because they are willing to admit that they picked the wrong side and will own up to it. In Marvel, just about every hero at some point made the wrong choice in these conflicts.
90skid4life: Well they were never really friends beforehand but I have something in mind for them.
Dreamcastfan99: It'll be more afraid that Peter won't help them save the Mutant race then actual fear of the guy himself. I wouldn't say Hope feels responsible so much as sympathetic relieved in a sense that she didn't become the host of the Phoenix like Peter did because she's now gotten a look at why everyone was so freaked out about it coming back, she saw the worst-case scenario when it comes to the Phoenix for herself instead of just hearing about it. We'll be seeing how she's taken this whole thing next chapter when we see what the X-men are up to.
Darkspyder: She end up being, still deciding on the final girl but she is one of the four that I have it narrowed down to. At the moment their afraid of him but they won't come to see him as some Mutant messiah, mainly because he isn't a mutant.
WakeWalker: He'll be aiming for Kaine if he can. No they won't see him as a mutant messiah, mainly because he's not a mutant.
Ben 10,000: Pretty much.
Gundamfreedomzer: Otto will have a somewhat important role in the coming arcs of this story, and I will say this, Superior Spider-man won't go down like it did in the comics. We'll be seeing things from some of Scott's people's perspective next chapter, one in particular. Still trying to figure out the final girl for the harem, I have it narrowed down to four, it'll be a while until I have a final choice.
Rangers4life: No Peter will do something else that will burn them for the rest of their lives, it may not be as big or as impactful as taking their powers but it's going to be just as good if not better, at least to him.
Gamerslegacy: Storm is, Rogue maybe as for Psylocke, we'll see soon what's going through her head. Xavier at his core is a fairly forgiving man, now that doesn't mean he went up to them and said your forgiven, but he's willing to give them a second chance. It's who he is and we are love him for it… even if we all agree that Magento might be a lost cause.

"You could be dead… like I am"
Peter's eyes shot open as he suddenly found himself in his room and not the burning ruins of Asgard this time around. He let out a small groan as he sat up in his bed and looked down at the psionic damper on his hand and frowned as he saw that it had small scorch marks on its surface. Peter was about to move before he smelt the ever-subtle aroma of burning fabric and looked down at his pillow and was surprised to see that parts of it looked singed.
"Oh… that's not good" Peter said with worry as he grabbed his pillow and looked closer at the burn marks before he heard a knocking at his door followed by Wanda's voice.
"Peter, are you up yet?" she asked in a low voice but still loud enough to be heard through the wood.
"Uh, yeah, just give me a second" Peter responded as he sat the pillow back down and ran a hand through his hair while he stood up from his bed and made his way to a small drawer that held the clothes given to him for the duration of his stay.
After a few minutes Peter emerged from his room with a pair of shorts and a loose shirt while Wanda was clad in a red sports bra and black short shorts that did nothing to hide her goddess like body from the world. Peter felt himself blush as he took in every muscle, every curve she had on display before he forced himself to look away and let out a small cough.
"So… uh I guess you're ready huh?"
"Yes…" Wanda said with a small grin as she grabbed Peter's hand and began to pull him towards the spot she found that she partakes in her yoga sessions every morning.
It didn't take them long to reach the spot that Wanda had in mind. It was on a small hill not far from their apartments that gave them a rather spectacular view of the city, the small countryside around it and the mountains.
"Whoa…" Peter said as he took in the early morning sight and wished he had his camera with him to snap a quick photo for the scrap book he had.
"It's part of the reason I picked it" Wanda said as she joined Peter in admiring the view before she took the two mats that she had with her and set them out for her and Peter "Now tell me Peter, have you ever done yoga before?"
"Nope" Peter said, making a popping sound on the 'P' as he made his way over to the mats.
"Well then just follow my lead and you should be fine" Wanda said as she removed her shoes before bringing her hands together and letting out a small sigh as he stretched her arms over her head.
Peter watched her before he followed suit "So, when did you get into yoga?"
"Not long after I regained my powers and memories" Wanda said as she performed a Warrior's three pose "I find it relaxing and helps me reign in my darker thoughts"
"Did someone recommend it?" Peter asked as he mimicked her movements.
"Strange did, he also recommended a few mediation techniques that he's learned over the years to help" Wanda said as she kept her stance for several seconds before she let out a small breath and slowly returned to a at rest position before she slowly did a bowed half-moon pose.
"Are they the ones where you have to go 'Ohmm' all the time or something?" Peter asked with a snicker as he mirrored Wanda's pose.
Wanda sighed at this as she slid out of the pose before she sat on the ground and preformed a full split "Sadly, yes… and I feel are the more ridiculous doing it. I'm beginning to think that I shouldn't have to but he keeps on insisting I do every time I bring it up"
"You think he's just messing with you?" Peter asked as he followed Wanda's lead and mentally thanked the spider that bit him that it gave him superhuman flexibility, he was sure that he'd be screaming to the high heavens in this pose.
"Wouldn't be the first time" Wanda said with a small laugh as eh arched her back and reached for her front leg. She casted a brief glance at Peter and smiled as he followed her very movement. For a moment her eyes lingered on the way his muscles moved, the way they shifted under his skin. She found herself almost licking up lips at the display before she mentally shook herself and returned her attention towards their session.
Minutes passed as Wanda guided Peter through some of the other advance poses that she's learned since taking up this activity and for the most part no issues arose until she tried to perform a rather complicated form that caused her leg to cramp up…
"GAAH!" Wanda yelped as pain flashed through her limb, causing her to fall on to her matt and clutch her leg "Dammit!"
"Wanda?" Peter said as he dropped his pose and moved next to her "What's wrong?"
"I think I pulled a muscle…" Wanda said with gritted teeth as she held her leg and found trying to move it made the pain worse.
"Guess that puts our lesson on hold" Peter said as he crouched down next to Wanda and ran a hand over her leg "Where's it hurt the most?"
Wanda hissed as another flash of pain ranked through her leg "Around the lower thigh"
Peter nodded at this as he held his hand towards the area Wanda was talking about "Uh should I probably get someone to look at it?"
"No, just… just get me back to my room" Wanda said with a huff as she wiped some sweat off her face "I have some lotion there to use that'll help it"
Peter nodded as he gently scooped up Wanda in his arms before he looked down towards the mats they were using "Uh should I come back-"
His words died in his mouth as Wanda's eyes glowed scarlet for a moment before the mats seemingly disappeared.
"They'll be back in my room" Wanda said as she rested her head against Peter's chest and unintentionally inhaled his scent.
"Uh, okay" Peter said as he adjusted his grip on Wanda and headed back to her room, being mindful not to jostle her around too much.
It didn't take them long to get back and thankfully they didn't run into anyone, neither was sure they could take the embarrassment or the possible rumors that would likely float around. After all, Spider-man carrying a half-naked Wanda who was covered in sweat back to her room was bound to raise a few eyebrows.
'Heh for a bunch of monks, these guys aren't very monk-ish… wait is that stereotyping?' Peter thought as he used a bit of his telekinesis to unlock Wanda's door while she used a bit of her chaos magic to open it.
Wanda chuckled at this as they entered her room "Wow, first time we're working together and what do we do? Open a locked door"
"I know, next thing you know, we're having to combine out powers to do our laundry" Peter chuckled as he approached Wanda's bed and sat her on the soft mattress.
"Heh, Onslaught has nothing on dirty clothes" Wanda giggled as she nodded towards her bags "The lotion's in the left pouch. The blue bottle"
Peter nodded as he moved to retrieve the item while Wanda watched him before she noticed something odd about him...
There was steam coming off him?
"Peter, are you okay?" Wanda asked as Peter removed the bottle from her bag.
"Yeah, why?" Peter asked before he saw her gesturing to himself and he looked to see what caught her attention "Oh the steam… uh yeah, I uh, I do that now…"
"Why?" Wanda asked with baffled expression.
"I think it has to do with the fact I now have a being of cosmic fire renting out my body. Or more likely it's because I'm just really hot" Peter joked a little as he handed Wanda the bottle.
"Oh, is that right?" Wanda said with a laugh as she prepared to pour its contents on her hand before she looked up at Peter and held the bottle out to him.
Peter stared at it for a moment with wide eyes, he didn't need to read her mind to know what she wanted "Umm…"
"Please?" Wanda asked with a small pout.
"A-Are you sure?" Peter asked with a cough as he took the bottle from her hands.
"Yes, I'm sure" Wanda said as she carefully extended her leg out before giving him a playful look that she struggled to maintain as her leg flared up again "Just make sure those sticky fingers of yours don't wander… I'd rather not have to explain to the others why you're missing a few of them"
Peter swallowed nervously as he poured some of the contents of the bottle on his hands before he very slowly placed them on Wanda's thigh and began to slowly rub the substance on. Wanda's breathed hitched at Peter's warm hands touching her skin and began to gently roam over the flesh like a light breeze. Peter did his best to ignore the way Wanda's breath hitched as he slowly rubbed the lotion over her thigh, being very mindful to keep it away from her waist.
"Mmm, your pretty good at this…" Wanda said as she bit her lip to keep from moaning.
Hey, she hasn't had any sort of physical intimacy since she regained her powers and memories and with half her co-workers hating her and her now ex-husband acting like an ass to her finding a man to date is kinda hard, cut her some slack.
"Heh thanks…" Peter said as he spent the next few minutes applying the lotion to Wanda's thigh. He isn't sure if it stopped the pain but considering she hadn't told him to stop he was willing to guess that it hadn't… or maybe it has and she just wants him to keep going…
Peter mentally shook himself of those thoughts, the idea was unlikely and it was best to not get his hopes up.
'Besides, the last thing Wanda needs is my luck on top of her own ruining her life like it has others' Peter thought as he massaged Wanda's thigh before she leaned in and grabbed the back of his head and di something he never saw coming.
She kissed him!
Peter froze as Wanda's lips touched his before his eyes slowly closed and he began to slowly respond by leaning into the kiss more. Wanda seemed to take this as an invitation and slowly begin to crawl into his lap while keeping their mouths connected. Once she was seated in his lap she pushed her tongue into his mouth and found his before attacking it. Peter cupped the back of Wanda's head, pulling her in closer and deepening the kiss even further while his other hand ran up her side until it reached the bra she was wearing.
Wanda moaned into the kiss as Peter cupped her tit and she felt his erection pressing into her thigh, causing her to shiver at the feeling of it. She had one hand slide down his chest and towards his sex before suddenly the two heard someone knocking on Wanda's door.
"Who is it?" Wanda said after she broke the kiss, forcing Peter to begin assaulting her neck with a series of kisses and licks and almost caused her to moan and tell whoever was at her door to come back later.
"Wanda can I uh, come in?"
Wanda and Peter both froze at the sound of Quicksilver's voice, the mood dying almost instantly as the two parted and began to adjust their clothing. Wanda glanced at Peter and mouthed a 'sorry' while Peter responded with a mouthed 'it's okay'.
"Wanda?" Pietro asked again, his voice a little more concerned now as he filled with the locked door "Wanda are you okay in there?"
"Just give me a second Pietro" Wanda snapped in annoyance as she checked to make sure that she and Peter looked presentable before she approached the door and unlocked it and opened it to see her brother standing there with a suspicious frown on his face.
Her twin glanced over her shoulder and into her apartment and his eyes narrowed at the sight of Peter "Uh sister, is there a reason why Spider-man is in your room… covered in sweat, same as you?"
"We were doing yoga" Wanda said with annoyance as she folded her arms under her breasts and hoped that her brother didn't notice that her semi erect nipples that were just barely seen through the fabric of her bra 'Come to think of it, why would he be looking at my chest?'
"Yoga?" Pietro said with surprise as he let himself in much to Wanda's annoyance.
"Helps calm the mind and all that" Peter answered as he stood up and rubbed the back of his head "And well, I think it'd be in everyone's best interest if I keep a calm mind yeah?"
"Yes… I suppose it would be" Pietro said as he looked back and forth between Peter and Wanda with a curious look on his face.
"Why are you here Pietro?" Wanda asked.
"To check up on you" Pietro said as he glanced back at Peter with narrowed eyes "Would you mind giving me and my sister some privacy Spider-man?"
"Uh, yeah sure" Peter said as he moved past the speedster and towards the door "I uh have to get ready for another telekinesis session with Danny anyway"
"I'll be by later" Wanda said as she watched Peter leave.
"Take your time" Peter said as he gave her a small wave as he exited the room, leaving the Scarlet Witch with her brother who was looking at her with a look.
"What?" Wanda asked with a raised brow that caused her brother to sigh in exasperation.
"Really Wanda, I mean really?"
…
It was over a day after Peter and Wanda's… yoga lesson… that he found himself on the other end of the valley with Danny on a small cliff that gave the duo a nice, but nowhere near as nice of a view of K'un-Lun, that Peter saw from where he and Wanda were the other day.
"Today we will work on a wide variety of meditation techniques to help calm and focus your mind" Danny said as he and Peter sat in a lotus position.
"Do I have to do that whole 'ummm' thing or is it 'ohmmm'?" Peter asked as he glanced at Danny with a raised brow.
"No, you just have to remain quiet… no matter how hard that is for you" Danny said the last part in a near whisper.
"Heeey I heard that!" Peyer whined at the immortal Iron Fist.
"Good, then you should have no problems in hearing my instructions" Danny said as he took a deep breath before exhaling slowly "First, steady your breathing"
"O-kay…" Peter said as he turned away towards the city and took a deep breath before he slowly exhaled before stopping "Wait, do I exhale out my mouth or nose?"
"Either one is fine" Danny replied.
Peter nodded as he took another deep breath before exhaling out his mouth and repeated the process several times "Okay, now what?"
"Now, close your eyes" Danny said as he did the same.
Peter hummed at this as he followed suit and closed his own and listened carefully to what Danny had to say next.
"Open your senses to the world around you, feel the touch of the wind on your skin, the sounds of the world around you…" Danny said in a calm tone as he took another deep breath.
Peter followed suit as he did as Danny advised, making sure to take several calming breaths as his senses were assaulted by the various smells, noises and touch of the world around him.
"Good, now… open your mind to the world" Danny advised as he took another breath.
Peter cracked an eye open towards Danny "When you say open my mind, what do you-"
"Drop the barriers that are in place around it, let it wander" Danny said as he took another calming breath "Do not worry, there are no other telepaths here and if you start to hear others voices inside your head let me know"
"Uh sure…" Peter said nervously as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he began to slowly drop the Psi-shields he's been working on best he could and let his mind… wander.
He was tempted to let out a sigh of relief when he wasn't suddenly barraged by hundreds if not thousands of thoughts, even Danny's hadn't been picked up. Minutes passed as Peter left himself open before Danny began to talk.
"Good, now you must-"
Peter frowned as Danny's words began to slow and seemingly stop as did the world around him, forcing him to open his eyes before everything went white and his body for a brief moment felt like it was on fire before everything cooled and settled.
"What the hell?" Peter said as he took in his surroundings. All white but like a glowing sort of white.
Oh, and it was hot… like really hot.
"Man, it feels like I stepped into a burning building" Peter said as he pulled on his collar and looked around for any ways of getting out of here before he suddenly found himself face to face with what could only be described as a raptor of some sort made of cosmic fire.
It's burning form towered over Peter by several dozen feet, causing him to take several steps back to get a proper look at it's head before it clicked as to what he was looking at…
"Phoenix… well that explains the heat…"
The cosmic entity quirked its head at Peter, it's glowing eyes boring into Peter's from as it studied him with an unreadable expression before it began to slowly shrink down, it's appearance shifting somewhat as it began to take slightly more human features until Peter was greeted to the sight of what could only be described as a goddess of cosmic fire.
Even though only part of her torso, which he couldn't help but notice possessed a gifted size of breasts, her hands and arms up to her elbows were visible with the rest of the arm merging into the inferno of fire around her, her legs which seemed to constantly shift from looking like one limb before settling on two distinct ones and her head which possessed two glowing yellow fiery eyes that made Peter feel like he was looking into two miniature suns.
After several moments of silence, the Phoenix smiled, her dark almost black flamed covered lips parting to reveal teeth so blindingly white that Peter felt that if he kept staring he'd go blind "Hello Peter…"
"Uh hello Phoenix?" Petr said as he felt his vision adjust to the light and he gazed bac at her "I mean you are the Phoenix right and not some weird manifestation my mind's made up?"
"I am the Phoenix, I simply chose this form to better converse with you. I find many males in the past react better to it then when I'm a large raptor of destruction and power" the Phoenix said as she slowly appeached Peter, causing him to back up in reflex.
"Well you are less intimidating" Peter said as he kept backing away while glancing around "So uh where are we exactly? Because if this is my mind, it's a lot brighter than I thought it'd be… also a lot emptier"
The Phoenix chuckled as she continued to walk after Peter while she answered with a small grin "We are in the White Hot Room little spider…"
"The White Hot Room?" Peter said as he looked around at his surroundings again "Wow… pretty literal in its naming huh?"
"It was either that, or big empty boring space inside the M'Krann Crystal that me and several others inhabit when we are not running around the various universe in existence" the Phoenix said before she suddenly closed the distance between herself and Peter and wrapped her arms around his neck, causing Peter to freeze up in both shock and fear at being in the literal clutches of the Phoenix Force. She chuckled at his reaction as she ran a hand down his chest "Relax little spider… I won't hurt you… much"
"Yeah that ain't settling my nerves, in fact that's making them even more unsettled" Peter said as he kept perfectly still. It was surreal, he'd admit, having the Phoenix Force like this. Pressing her body up against his in a way that Peter knows is far from innocent, hell it sure as hell didn't feel innocent!
The Phoenix chuckled as it stared up at Peter in amusement "Hmm… well, are you going to start or not little spider?"
"Star what?" Peter asked with confusion.
"Start blaming me for the death of your friend, of causing you to lose control and attack the others even though it wasn't technically me that did so" the fiery being said as she leaned up towards Peter's face and spoke in a low encouraging tone that almost caused him to shiver "I know you want to… go on, I won't stop you little spider…"
Peter had to admit, she wasn't wrong that he wanted to tear into her about the hell she, he, it- whatever the Phoenix was, had put him through lately. If it wasn't for the cosmic being here, Logan could still be alive, Wakanda may not have gotten hit as bad as it did if at all and the X-men and the Avengers may not have come to blows like they did.
'It would be easy to place all the blame on her… even though it only got as fucked up as it did because she got a nice unhealthy dose of all of my less than friendly feelings that I've had bottled up in me from over the years that I can't control when they get out and Scott and his people jumping the gun and the Avengers demanding Hope…' Peter thought as he stared down that the smiling form of the Phoenix before a thought came to him "Wait, what about the Beyonder?"
The Phoenix quaked her head to the side, her face partially submerging into the fiery aura that now surrounded the duo "What do you mean?"
"Isn't he the one that caused you to attack Earth?" Peter asked as he casted a glance at the burning inferno around him "Shouldn't I be sort of blaming him for all that happened?"
"No" the Phoenix said as she forced Peter to look her in the eye "The only thing during that event the Beyonder manipulated was my choice in a host. While I was originally set on Hope Summers, even though she holds no blood relation to either him or Jean Grey so why they call her that I will never know… I've never tried to merge myself with someone quite like you…"
Peter swallowed nervously "What do you mean?"
The Phoenix smiled as she placed her hand on Peter's chest and he felt what could only be described as a rush of energy flow through his body and around him.
"The center of the Web of Life, I've encountered beings connected to it before, a few have even tasted my flames, but I've never entertained the idea of making one my host before" the Phoenix said as she looked down at her hand and saw the space it was touching glowing a bit "To be connected to something so intricate to the multiverse itself, to be connected to so many other realties like it is through you that's different but the same as I am throughout the Multiverse… it's turning out to be quite a pleasant experience for me"
"Well hurray for you" Peter said with narrowed eyes, his temper flaring ever so slightly.
"Hmm there's that fiery anger I know you possess, much more pleasant then that darkened spite I felt in you before" the Phoenix said as she placed a hand on the side of his face and grinned hungrily at him.
Peter slowly reached up and removed the Phoenix's hands and arms from his body before taking a large step back from the Phoenix who was still watching him with amusement.
"I think I want to leave now" Peter said as he gave her a frown.
"Oh, already tired of me?" the Phoenix said in a coy tone as she let the fires around them die down until it built back up behind her "Many would burn entire galaxies to be in my presence with me like this"
"Yeah well, I'm not one of them, so yeah. Like to go now please!" Peter repeated a little more forcibly this time.
The Phoenix stared at Peter for a few moments before she was suddenly in his face and before he could respond he found his lips crushed against hers!
"HMMM!?" Peter sounded as he tried to force the cosmic being off him with every bit of strength he had in his body but his efforts were in vein as the Phoenix deepened the kiss, her fire tongue darting into Peter's mouth as she pulled him flush against her flaming body. Her arms wrapped around his neck while one of her legs secured itself around his waist, pulling his waist against hers while the flaming aura around her seemed to war itself around Peter.
Peter fought and fought and tried every type of way to throw the cosmic being off him until finally, after several minutes of struggling to pry himself free of the fiery kiss, the Phoenix released him and watched with a grin as Peter stumbled back before collapsing and looking at her in shock.
"WHAT THE HELL LADY?!" Peter shouted at her in complete surprise.
"Hell hmm, I'm told that my physical displays of intimacy have been heavenly in the past" the Phoenix said with a grin as she watched Peter stand up while he wiped his mouth.
"Yeah well I'm told that you need consent of the one you want to use those on before doing it!" Peter spat out in anger and embarrassment.
The Phoenix chuckled at this "Ah you mortals and your 'morals' and 'standards'. You'll come to find that such things mean little in the grand scheme of things for beings like us"
She then turned and made a shooing motion "You may go now, I will speak with you at a later time"
"About what?" Peter asked with narrowed eyes, torn between relived he's leaving and annoyed she's shooing him away like a child she doesn't want to deal with right now.
"Whatever strikes my fancy at the time of said conversation…" the Phoenix said as she glanced back at Peter with a smirk "And after that… well we'll see how our next one goes… and the one after that… and the one after that…"
"Can't wait" Peter said, sarcasm evident in his voice.
"In time little spider, you will come to long being with me…" the Phoenix said as her eyes began to glow brighter "In more ways than one as many have before you"
Before Peter could respond he suddenly found himself on the small cliff that he and Danny were using for meditation and based on how Danny was talking, he hadn't been gone very long.
"-concentrate on the flow of energy around you, within you…" Danny said before he stopped as he saw Peter stand up "Going somewhere?"
"Yes" Peter said as he walked away from Danny who was watching him with narrowed eyes.
"And pray tell, is that?"
"A very, very, very large body of water that's filled with large chunks of super cold ice to lay in!"
…
And done.
Next chapter, a controversial decision is made in regards to getting a new teacher brought in for Peter in learning the more psionic aspects of his powers and the Avengers Unity Squad assembles… kinda.
Also, I've been thinking of having Peter go to the Ultimates universe like he did in Spider-men and meet Miles but I've been thinking, should he do it like before and meet Miles and fight Mysterio and go through that unessicary meeting with Gwen and May or… have him and another person, already picked who it is, arrive just before the reemergence of Reed Richards and the City of tomorrow so that way we and the Ultimate Universe can see the power of the Phoenix against the might of the Maker and the Children of Tomorrow?
You all have until chapter 17 to decide before I begin writing said chapters because the events will start in chapter 20 and I want ample time to shift my story around for either choice.
