cabrera1234: She joined him because she loves him and believes that man kind needs a strong firm ruler to bring order and peace. There's few other minor things but that's the main reason. Her reasons in this one will be slightly different though. Also give the comics a look, their pretty awesome in my opinion and one of the best Justice League stories I've seen in a long time

Year One…
It was a two short days later that Spider-man found himself swinging through the towering skyscrapers that Manhattan was famous for when he heard a distant explosion to his right. Mid swing he looked to see a distant building with the name ROXXON on it now on fire with what looked like a large helicopter quickly feeling the scene
"Another day in the life…" Spider-man said as he began to quickly make his way towards the burning building. He could faintly hear police sirens approaching as he used to web lines to slingshot himself into the building where the fire didn't look as intense
As Spider-man was approaching the window he saw several armed men dressed in some sort of military garb standing over a small group of people who were cowing on the ground. He narrowed his eyes as he crashed through the window and landed in a roll.
One of the men turned with his rifle coming up when Spider-man grabbed the barrel and shoved it down and brought the man into a painful head butt that sent him flying into one of the other armed men. Spider-man felt his sixth sense flare and with a twirl in the air threw the rifle he was still holding at the man who was about to fire on him. The gun impacted with the man's head causing him to yell out in pain as his helmet's visor cracked and likely caused a few pieces of it to fly into the man's eye
Spider-man quickly covered the down or rising men in thick globs of webbing as the sprinkler system finally came on and started to put out the fire
'Thank god this stuff is water proof' Peter thought to himself as he turned to the group of people "You guys alright?"
One of the people nodded, a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes "Y-Yes but they took others with them when they went further into the building!"
Peter's eyes narrowed under his mask "Why? What's here that's so important?"
Another person spoke up, a man in a torn business suit "They're here for…for…"
"For what? KFC's secret recipe for their chicken, Walt Disney's frozen head? I'm not a mind reader so your going have to speak up there" Spider-man said as he heard more men approaching
"The scientists here were experimenting with a symbiote, the black one that use to be that evil looking Spider-man with the teeth!" another man said nervously
Peter felt his blood run cold at the mentioning of the that particular individual's description.
'How the hell did these people get Venom of all things?' Peter thought before he saw the doors to a meeting room burst open with several armed men entering with their weapons trained on him
'Worry about that later, right now focus on saving these people and kicking the bad guys' butts!' Spider-man though as he lunged at the men with an inhuman leap
The man seemed surprised by Spider-man's actions as they tried to aim at him and fire while being mindful of not hitting their comrades. Within seconds all of the man were on the ground either restrained by his webbing or knocked out. The fires were starting to die down thankfully but the steam in the air was making things a little difficult to see through
'Note to self, install thermal imaging or something into mask's lenses to help me see better in these kind of situations' Peter thought as the jumped on to the ceiling and began to make his way towards more shouting 'Another note to self, get money so I can actually make that upgrade'
Peter came to a large room that had a balcony on the second floor and several men armed with light MG's pointed right at him
"Uh hey guys! Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-man here to see what's with all the noise. Have by the way have you guys seen a bunch of bad guys dressed exactly like you carrying guns that look just like the one's your holding?" Spider-man sent the men a small wave
"Waste the bastard!" one of the thugs shouted before they opened fire on him
"Guy's come on let's talk this out. I know we're on opposite sides of the law but really, can't we for once try to be civil?" Spider-man said calmly as he ducked, rolled and dodged the hail of bullets sent his way with his enhanced reflexes alone. His spider-sense helped out but Peter's over the years learned how to fight and survive without it.
'Final note to self for the day, get Diana a great gift for helping me improve my fighting abilities' Peter thought as he shot two web lines and caught two men on their chest before pulling them into the railing hard enough to knock the wind out of them.
The other men stopped their shooting in an attempt to reload while Spider-man prepared to jump up there and take them out. Suddenly his spider-sense flared and Peter just narrowly dodged several shuriken thrown his way by preforming a triple back flip and sticking to the wall
"Your reflexes have improved kid" came the voice of one of the most feared men on earth both in terms of reputation and skill
Peter looked to see a man dressed in black and orange armor appear from the shadows armed with a sword, two pistols, some grenades, and a bow staff being twirled in his hand.
Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke the Terminator
And unknown to many people including Peter's own wife Diana… his very reluctant, almost flat out refused to accept, Godfather
Peter narrowed his eyes in interest at the sight of his late mother's cousin "Deathstroke… we meet again"
"Spider-man" Deathstroke nodded at the man with his visible eye narrowing "Always one for clichés…"
"What can I say, I'm a sucker for the classics" Spider-man said as he flipped a switch on his web shooters and shot it at the armed men on the balcony without looking. He wasn't dumb enough to take his gaze of his slightly unhinged godfather even for a moment. He has plenty of scars to remind him of that
The web ball struck one man before it exploded in a shower of sticky web fluid that ensnared many of the men. Deathstroke watched with an amused look under his helmet
"Impressive" the mercenary said with a nod
Spider-man dropped down and landed on a burnt water damaged lounge chair in a crouch and remained perfectly balanced on the damaged furniture "So DS, what brings you to the big apple? The Yankees game tomorrow, comic-con or wait, don't tell me… the play about Othello playing on Broadway tonight? If you want I can get you front row seats"
"Hmph, actually I'm here to talk to you about something rather important that's just come up" Deathstroke said as he lowered his staff and pressed a button on it to have it collapse and placed it on his back
Spider-man quirked his head to the side "Can it wait, I have to still re-"
"I've already dealt with the rest of the men and the hostages are free" Deathstroke said before he walked over and pulled a duffle bag out from behind a small desk "And if you're wondering about the symbiote it's in here. What that chopper took earlier was a bomb that I planted what should be going in the next few seconds over the Hudson"
He held the bag up which started to move a little as if something was inside it, which there was of course. The man than tossed Peter the bag who caught with ease and held it up slightly for him to see before turning his attention back to the armored man
"Not that I'm complaining or anything, but whaaaat?" Peter said in a long drawl
"Let's talk somewhere else… the police from what I can here on the coms are finally here and what I have to tell you is big" Slade said as he turned and began to make his way towards the exit
Peter watched him go for a moment before looking down at the bag he was holding "Well might as well here the man out. Plus, I'm curious to know why he and Rose didn't show up for Thanksgiving, Mary Jane was pissed"
Several minutes later Peter was crouched on a ledge overlooking the ROXXON building that finally had its fires put out and the men behind the attempted attack arrested… least the ones that Slade didn't kill.
Said deadly super soldier and former member and leader of the short lived Ultimates just like Peter was standing next to him messing with a tablet while he hummed to himself.
"So what is it you want to talk about?" Peter turned to the man with a brow quirked under his mask "Also why didn't you and Rose show up for Thanksgiving? MJ was really looking forward to meeting you and I was going to officially introduce you to my darling wife who may have tried to kick the crap out of you"
"Kid, where's you 'darling' wife at the moment?" Slade said with some surprise as he watched a live stream of a news crew recording the events going on in the city of Gared over in Biayla
"Uh doing Justice League stuff at the moment why?" Peter asked in confusion "Also you didn't answer my question"
Slade handed him the tablet which Peter took and looked to see what it was. His eyes and lenses widened in shock as he saw a live recording of Superman looking a bit rugged and like he hasn't slept in days holding the President of Biayla with his wife Diana standing there talking to him.
"What the hell?" Peter said in shock
"Yeah, Superman just stormed the country of Biayla and more or less overthrew the ruling government" Slade said with a shrug "I was planning to show you just that but then your lovely bed warmer showed up"
Peter gave the man a growl at the remark he said about his wife before looking back at the tablet to see Superman fly off with the President of Biayla. He also saw her whispering something to herself before she suddenly took off. Several seconds passed before Peter handed the tablet back to Slade and called his wife
Several moments passed before she answered "Yes Peter?"
"Hey Di…" Peter said as the image of his wife next to Superman holding the President of Bialya flashed through his mind "How's your day been?"
"Fine why?" Diana asked with a chuckle
"No reason… just watching the news when I came across something interesting is all" Peter said as he saw Slade lean against the ledge and cross his arms while keeping his gaze on him
Diana went quite as Peter began to pace the ledge "Look I know that I'm not a member of the Justice League but you know you can tell me anything right?"
"Peter… it's complicated" Diana said finally
"Complicated? Diana your friend just attacked a world leader and more or less overthrew his government!" Peter said as he rubbed his head
"Look, we'll talk about this after Superman addresses the United Nations in an hour okay?" Diana said growing a little impatient
"Tell your barbarian lover I said hi Spider-man!" Slade said loud enough for Diana to hear through the call
"Peter who is that?" Diana questioned with her tone hardening, indicating she heard the insult
Peter shot his Godfather a dirty look "Just an asshole whose ass is about to get kicked"
Diana sighed on the other end of the line, the anger fading from her voice "Look once the conference is over I'll meet you back at the apartment and I'll explain everything to you alright?"
Peter inhaled loudly "…Fine, I'll see you at home"
Before either one could end the call Slade spoke up again with a chuckle as he slowly began to back away "I still think she's sleeping with Superman behind your back Spidey, might want to call that lawyer up and hash out how to divide the china"
Peter ended the call before Diana could comment and rounded on the man ready to plant his fist into his helmet only to see that he was gone. Peter's lenses narrowed in anger as he scanned the rooftop but couldn't find his ever illusive asshole of a Godfather
"Starting to see why Uncle Ben and Aunt May didn't let you visit often" Peter muttered as he turned to see that the duffel bag was still there and moving ever so slightly. Peter sighed as he picked it up and slung it over his shoulder "Try anything funny Venom and I'll accidently drop you in an oven…"
The bag stopped moving while Peter began to make his way back to his and Diana's apartment with a sense of foreboding in him
'Something tells me that things are about to get complicated…'
And done.
Yeah I made Deathstroke Spider-man's Godfather, deal with it.
Kidding! But no I thought it'd make things interesting, after all there are some things that Diana's keeping quiet about so it's only fair that Peter does to.
Next chapter Peter watches what Superman has to say and gets a surprise visitor
