The Invincible Spider-Man
Chapter 44: Pool of The Dead.
"Wait, who are you and who are you talking to?" asked Peter, completely puzzled as he stared at the man.
"Dude, it's me, Deadpool! What did you skip 2016 completely?" asked Deadpool. Peter still looked confused.
"Alright buddy, listen. I need your help with something. Guess Shadow Strike couldn't think of any idea to get me in the story," said Deadpool.
"Hey, what the Heck! I never ran out of ideas, dude. You just showed up unexpectedly!"
"No, I show up when the plot needs me!" replied Deadpool.
"Wait, who are you talking to?" asked Peter, getting ready to defend himself, in case.
"Oh no one, your two dimensional can't comprehend it. And don't worry kid, I'm not gonna hurt ya," said Deadpool. "Now where was I? Let me just check the script…" said Deadpool, as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"Deadpool convinces Peter to come with him to Stark Tower…blah blah SPOILERS, blah blah blah….okay, perfect! Aight kid, we gotta head to Stark Tower," said Deadpool, but Peter took a step back.
"I'm not playing games. Who are you?" asked Peter, as he trapped Deadpool in a web. However, Deadpool took out his katanas and sliced the web in two, before it even hit him.
"I just told you, I'm not gonna hurt you!" protested Deadpool. "I need your help to break into Stark Tower,"
"Why would I help you with that? You're basically committing a crime!" said Peter, dumbfounded by Deadpool's stupidity.
"Because Living Laser has taken over it! There, I gave the spoiler. The script stated that you learn this wayyyy later. But forget it. Jesus your generation won't believe anyone unless they offer you a piece of candy!" lamented Deadpool.
"Wait, what?! Living Laser?" asked Peter. "What about Iron Man? He can handle this," replied Peter.
"You forgot that Living Laser is pure electricity. He's taken over Stark's Defenses including his armours," said Deadpool.
"But why are you helping him? Who even are you? Like where'd you come from?" asked Spider-Man, still very skeptical.
"Kid I'm a mutant. And for the longest time I was considered an Anti-Hero. Until Sir Patrick Stewart…I mean Charles Xavier put me up to the task of helping The Avengers. Of course I couldn't care less about the Avengers, but it was up to me to make sure nothing happens to Stark Industries when the Avengers are off. And well…" narrated Deadpool.
"Wait, so you're with the X-Men?" asked Spider-Man, easing up a little.
"Honorary member, but they're off doing their own stuff. And don't worry reader, you'll find out in The Invincible X-Men," said Deadpool.
Spider-Man sighed. "Fine, let's head to Stark Industries. But don't try anything stupid," said Peter, as Deadpool did a boy scout salute.
"Scout's Honour! Now let's get the %#!& outta…WAIT A MINUTE. I'M CENSORED?! SHADOW STRIKE!" shouted Deadpool, as he paused the story.
"Well yeah, I gotta keep it PG-13…"
"You're trying to PG-13 ME? The merc with a MOUTH. What are you, some secret agent at Disney? Jeez, this is like X-Men Origins all over again," sighed Deadpool.
"I'm sorry man, but the story is PG-13!"
"Ohhhhhkay then. I'll just head to redbirds' story! At least I'll be appreciated there!"
"No wait, you can't leave now! Okay look, I promise to keep your spinoff series R Rated. Is that okay?"
"Will that one series involve a scene with me and, by any chance Jessica Alba?"
"Hell no. But you can swear all you want there!"
"Of course it won't. You're a 15 year old science schmuck behind a laptop anyways! Ah, what the %# &, I'll stay,"
"Thank you! Now can we continue with the story?"
Deadpool unpaused the story.
"Alright kid. Let's head to Stark Industries," he said, as he walked past Peter and on the street.
"What are you doing?" asked Peter, puzzled.
"Hailing a taxi" he replied. "Well, this is gonna hurt like a mother%#!&^*" he said to himself.
As soon as a taxi drove by, Deadpool jumped in front of it, causing the taxi to violently hit him. Peter yelled in surprise, as the driver got out of the taxi and ran up to Deadpool's body. His back was arched at an unnatural angle, and his leg was bent the other way.
"That…never gets old," chuckled Deadpool, as he fixed his back with a crack, and twisted his leg back the right away. The driver helped him get up, and Deadpool immediately made a beeline for the taxi.
"Kid, come on!" shouted Deadpool, as he jumped into the taxi. Spider-Man, while still confused, followed him. He hopped into the passengers seat, as Deadpool hit the gas and sped down the road.
"How did you do that?" asked Peter.
"I got Wolverine's powers of self regeneration. Guess Nicieza and Liefeld couldn't get any new ideas!" replied Deadpool.
They made their way to Stark Tower, which was glowing a neon green and purple.
"Well that's Living Laser all right. Now how do we get in?" asked Peter, but before he knew it, Deadpool took out a grapple gun and grappled up to a different building, adjacent to the glassy exterior of Stark Tower.
"Deadpool what are you doing?" shouted Spider-Man, but Deadpool seemingly smirked.
"This is like that animated Spider-Man movie with the leap of faith thing! Only without that epic music, cuz Shadow Strike couldn't get the rights to Blackway's music!" said Deadpool to the reader. "Just imagine the music!" he continued, as he leaped off of the building, in a cannonball position
Deadpool crashed through the Tower, much to Spider-Man's surprise. He quickly web-zipped through the hole in the Tower, courtesy of Deadpool. Spider-Man landed next to him, who was fixing his broken neck.
"Well, that was fun," said Deadpool. They had landed in an office, and they walked out to the corridor. Both of them walked to the elevator, but all of a sudden, both of them heard something buzzing.
"Do you hear that? Barry Benson, is that you?!" asked Deadpool, when all of a sudden, about 5 Stark Drones showed up behind them, guns trained on them.
"Deadpool and Spider-Man! So glad you could join us!" said the voice, in a very static sounding voice.
"That's not Iron Man," said Peter, readying himself as Deadpool took out hit katanas. The drones began to fire.
Spider-Man side flipped to the wall and webbed up the muzzles of 2 of the drones. The sudden blockage caused the pressure in the guns to build up, causing both the drones to explode. Meanwhile, Deadpool ran up the wall, did a flip and stabbed one drone with his katana. The other two started firing at him, but the bullets seemed to have no effect. Deadpool grabbed one drone and stabbed his katana through it. Then he took the same katana and stabbed the other drone.
Both the drones were stuck on the katana now.
"Check it out, drone shish kebab!" said Deadpool, as Peter rolled his eyes.
"You think you can take back Stark Tower! No way!" shouted the voice, as it dissipated. Deadpool pulled the drones from the sword and walked back to Peter.
"Let's take the elevator. I have a feeling there's gonna be another action sequence and push the plot further," he said, all of which went over Peter's head.
The elevator stopped at the floor they were on, and they entered. Deadpool pressed floor 75, and the elevator doors closed.
"Man, wouldn't it be convenient if all of a sudden something happened here?" asked Deadpool. "Like if we just started talking and formed a sort of bromance, like in the comics!" said Deadpool, as Peter seemed weirded out.
Peter sighed. "This is gonna be so hard…"
"That's what she said," laughed. Deadpool, laughing to himself. All of a sudden, the elevator started to rock.
"What's going on?" asked Peter.
"Maybe the elevator is laughing its !$$ off cuz of my awesome joke?" asked Deadpool, when Living Laser started to speak in his static voice.
"How stupid were you both to enter a small metal box, suspended by wire, in a place where I control everything!" chuckled Living Laser.
"Hey, blame Shadow Strike dude!"
"Hey come on, this was your idea!"
"Zip it and continue the story or I'll tell everyone that embarrassing thing that happened to you back in 2011!"
"Okay, okay, fine."
Living Laser started to laugh.
"Dude, do you speak through a meat grinder or something?" asked Peter, as the elevator rocked further. Deadpool took out a gun, as Peter put his hands up.
"What are you doing?" asked Peter, frantically, as Deadpool started to shoot the roof of the elevator, and the started to punch it.
"Need your webs!" he said, as Peter shot two webs at the corners and the middle of the roof and started to pull it down. The metal was starting to bend. Deadpool got onto his back, and immediately sprung up, kicking the roof clean off.
The wire was cut, and the elevator started to plummet. Spider-Man quickly shot a web, which stuck to the wall above them, and grabbed Deadpool's hand. The elevator fell down, but they managed to hang on.
"This gives a whole new meaning to hanging by a thread," said Peter, as he managed to pull up Deadpool.
"By my guess. We're on floor 70…" said Deadpool, and he saw the opening for the elevator directly above them. Spider-Man managed to pull him up, as Deadpool scrambled up the wall and grabbed onto the ledge, ripping open the door, which normally automatically opened when the elevator showed up.
Spider-Man crawled up to, and they noticed they were on Floor 69.
Deadpool whistled. "Nice," he said.
"We can take the stairwell," said Peter, as he pointed to it, which was across the floor, right on the other side. And that's when they heard the buzzing sound again, and all of a sudden, 20 drones showed up from the elevator shaft.
"Ah %#!&, here we go again," said Deadpool, as him and Peter started to run towards the stairwell, and the drones started firing. Spider-Man alternated between running on walls and the ground to lessen his chances of getting shot, whereas Deadpool was running backwards, holding two handguns and shooting the drones.
Both of them ran on the stairwell, dodging the drones. Eventually, both of them managed to get to Floor 75 which seemed to be the biggest. However, it was blocked by a door, which was locked by a password.
"Deadpool, hold the drones off!" said Peter, as Deadpool nodded and started to attack the drones, preventing them from getting to Peter.
"Enter Password" said the voice.
"Uhhhhhh…I am Iron Man?" said Peter, but it came as incorrect.
"Umm…Avengers Assemble?" tried Peter, but the door didn't open.
"Did you figure out RDJ's password yet!?" shouted Deadpool.
"Not yet! Give me 2 minutes!" replied Peter.
"Ah %#!& this!" cursed Deadpool, as he left the drones and charged straight towards the door, slamming his shoulder into it. The door broke off of it's hinges, and Deadpool stumbled in. Spider-Man quickly webbed up the muzzles of the remaining drones, causing them to explode.
"Where are we?" asked Peter, as the walls were lined with stuff in glass cases.
"Oh my God…this is…the Hall of Avengers!" exclaimed Peter, as he walked up to a glass case.
"Ant-Man's helmet…Wasp's wings…OH MY GOD IT'S FALCON'S WINGPACK!" shouted Peter, as he admired them.
"Yeah yeah…come on, let's get Living Laser," said Deadpool.
"Wait, but where are the Avengers nowadays?" asked Peter. "Like they seem to be doing a lot of missions in space,"
"You'll find out in Season 6, chill." Replied Deadpool, leaving Spider-Man puzzled.
Suddenly, something crashed through the ceiling, followed by a second crash. They were two Iron Man armours, but they were giving off sparks of green.
"Try getting past this, idiots!" shouted Living Laser, as the first armour, which was Orange and Black, the Original Sin armour, flew towards Peter and slammed him into a wall, while the second one, which was red and silver, and had a triangular arc reactor, which was known as the Silver Centurion attacked Deadpool, grabbing him and flying up, then slamming his face to the ground.
Spider-Man managed to pry himself free of the armour, and shot a web towards it. He pulled and slammed it into the second armour which was attacking Deadpool.
"How the %#!& do we get past this?" asked Deadpool. That's when two more armours flew in. One of them was pure black, known as the Stealth Armour while the other was gold and orange, with spikes protruding from it known as the Iron Destroyer armour.
"You take the ones with spikes and the triangle heart, I'll take the black one and the orange and black one," said Peter, as Deadpool nodded.
Spider-Man swing kicked the Original Sin armour, and proceeded to punch the Stealth Suit. However, the armour disappeared, as if it turned invisible. Peter felt something punch his back, then his chest, then lift him up in the air and slam him into the ceiling. Before Peter could fall down, Original Sin slammed into Peter, ramming him into a wall.
Deadpool managed to slice the Silver Centurion's right arm off, but Iron Destroyer stabbed Deadpool in the chest with one of the spikes on his knuckles, then grabbed him and flew to the other corner of the room. Silver Centurion showed up and grabbed Deadpool, flying him to the middle of the room and held him up.
The Original Sin armour then slammed Spider-Man straight into Deadpool, causing both of them to fall to down.
"I'm getting my !$$ handed to me on a %#!&ing silver platter with a side of mashed potatoes straight from Satan's %#!&ing !$$hole!" said Deadpool, fixing his right arm.
"That's awfully graphic…" said Peter, his head ringing.
"Why'd you make us slam into each other, Shadow? Do you want us to die? This isn't Infinity War dude! Where's that %# &ing convenient moment where the protagonist comes up with some idea?" asked Deadpool to me.
"That's it! What if we make them crash into each other?" suggested Spider-Man.
"I knew you'd do it," Deadpool told me, as he got to his feet and grabbed his katanas. "Alright Iron Men, here's to Ass Kicking 101!" said Deadpool. The Iron Destroyer armour flew at him, but Deadpool flipped over it. Spider-Man shot a web at the armour and slammed it into Original Sin. Silver Centurion slammed into Peter and pushed him to the ceiling, but Deadpool jumped on the Stealth Suit and stabbed the Centurion armour straight through the heart.
The Stealth Suit went invisible again, but this time Peter concentrated on his Spider-Sense, and started to hear the whirring of the armour's mechanisms. Spider-Man shot a web at the suit, which became visible again and slammed it into Original Sin, before Deadpool stabbed both of them through their artificial hearts.
Iron Destroyer flew towards Spider-Man, but Peter spin kicked the armour away and towards Deadpool. Deadpool extended one katana and stabbed the armour straight through the head, before taking his second katana and stabbing the heart.
"Well that was fun…" said Deadpool, as Spider-Man walked up to him, instinctively high-fiving him.
"Only issue is, I bet Iron Man's gonna be pissed about this," said Peter.
"Eh don't worry, he won't snap at us. Get it, guys?" asked Deadpool, as Peter just laughed and shook his head, knowing that he'll never understand what Deadpool says.
All of a sudden, a being came down from the hole. He was radiating electric energy, and his body was glowing a bright green, with green electric energy radiating from him. Parts of his arms, legs, and chest were covered in purple armour.
"Living Laser," said Spider-Man, as Living Laser laughed.
"I'm surprised you made it this far," he said, as he shot a bolt of electricity towards Spider-Man, who just barely managed to dodge it.
"You know it's not the first time I've fought a psycho with electric powers!" said Spider-Man, shooting a web towards Living Laser. The web was insulated and a current couldn't pass through it. It stuck to his chest and Peter pulled him down, while Deadpool sliced his head off with a katana.
"What the Hell!?" yelled Spider-Man, as Deadpool looked at him.
"Yeah, I kill people. I don't follow Batman's code or anything," he said. All of a sudden, Living Laser's head vibrated, as it automatically moved back to the rest of his body and reattached itself.
"Okay, what in the actual goddamn %#!&," said Deadpool. Living Laser was seething with anger, as he grabbed Deadpool by the neck and flew out the window. Spider-Man jumped out of the window and shot a web at Living Laser, who flew to the top of Stark Tower.
Deadpool managed to cut off Living Laser's hand, and he landed on the top of Stark Tower. Spider-Man landed next to him.
"So, Bill Nye the Science Guy? Any ideas?" asked Deadpool to Peter.
Living Laser started to shoot beams of electricity at them. "I am literal living electricity! You can't stop me!" he shouted.
"So why do you call yourself Living LASER? Oh right, cuz Electro, Static Shock and Black Lightning were taken! Wait, I can think of a hundred more people with powers like yours," joked Deadpool, and Peter struck up on an idea.
"He's living electricity. He's basically pure energy! That means he can't be destroyed, but he can be stored…a capacitor!" thought Spider-Man.
"Deadpool! Hold him off for a bit!" shouted Spider-Man, as he jumped off of the tower and back into the tower. Meanwhile, Deadpool took out his handguns and started to shoot Living Laser with everything he had.
Spider-Man made it to Floor 75, and ran to the destroyed Iron Man armours. The Silver Centurion armour's arc reactor was still intact. Spider-Man pulled it out.
"These arc reactors are basically mini stores of energy that power the suits. It's more or less a capacitor!" thought Peter, as he swung back up, only to see Deadpool being electrocuted.
"NO!" he shouted, as he shot two webs onto Living Laser and jumped on him.
"AAAAAAAGGHHHHHH!" shouted both Spider-Man. He got electrocuted, and he jumped off of Living Laser. Peter was panting, as he took off his mask to breathe, and ran over to Deadpool.
"You okay?" he asked.
"I've been worse. I mean, have you read how Liefeld draws me?" joked Deadpool.
"I can't get near him. I don't know how to get this on him," gasped Peter.
"I can," said Deadpool. "Alright kid, this is the part of the story where the deuteragonist does an epic sacrifice. They did it in Stranger Things, they did it in Armageddon. They did it in Star Wars. Guess Shadow Strike really wants to do something like that," said Deadpool.
"Wait, what are you saying?" asked Peter.
"%#!& you Shadow Strike, you know this is gonna hurt…" said Deadpool, as he took the arc reactor and jumped onto Living Laser, pushing the arc reactor straight into his chest.
Both of them screamed, as Living Laser was sucked into the arc reactor, and Deadpool's charred body fell to the ground.
"NO!" shouted Peter, as he ran towards Deadpool.
"Hey, Deadpool? Deadpool?! Come on, get up!" said Peter, trying to wake him up, to no avail.
"Oh man… not again… no not again…" gasped Peter, as he tried to look away, getting very breathless. All of a sudden, Deadpool grabbed his arm.
"Gotcha, didn't I?" he laughed, and Peter looked at him, angry at first, but then he started laughing too. Deadpool managed to stand up, and took the arc reactor, which now stored Living Laser.
"Alright kid, this was fun. I better get this to Professor Xavier. Thanks for the quick save!" said Deadpool. "Oh, by the way, call me Wilson. Wade Wilson," he continued.
"Peter Parker. Oh and listen, can I meet the X-Men? Like, I know they are considered to be criminals sometimes, but I still want to meet them," said Peter, as he shook Wade's hand.
"Maybe in the future," said Deadpool, as he winked. "Now you better continue with the story. The plot needs to move forward," joked Deadpool as he jumped off of the building, took out a grapnel gun and zipped away.

SpideyXBC: Sadly I'm only going to be in this episode (at least for this season)! So anyways, I don't think I can help him with Black Cat. (Though if I were him I'd go for Felicia over whoever else he's dating, but that's just me!)
And to everyone requesting that Peter goes bald, Shadow Strike has told me that he'll think about it, and it will most likely happen around Season 6! So don't worry folks, bald Spider-Man may happen, but it may take a while!
Well, I should go! But fear not, this most likely won't be the last you see of me! Wait, Shadow Strike, what is it?
I thought I was gonna answer reviews this time, Deadpool!
