Disclaimer: Same as before.

Chapter 2: Downtime!

A few hours passed after Shocker was arrested, so Peter decided to show Black Widow around his house. They started off with his bedroom.

"This is where I keep the science journals I read in the past." Peter said he showed it. "And if you're wondering what this might be, it's a log book from when I started out with my powers." He showed a picture of him in an old version of his costume inside a wrestling ring taking down Crusher Hogan.

"You started out as a wrestler?" wondered Natasha. "And you were fifteen when that happened?"

"Yep." Peter replied. "It was that very night Uncle Ben was killed by the same crook I saw at the area I wrestled at. Even to this day, I still miss him."

"Fury told me about that." Natasha said. "I'm sorry about your loss. You have my condolences."

"Thank you." Peter turned a page in the book and showed her another picture of the time Flash Thompson beat him up and shoved him into his locker. "I always get 'Locker-Knockered' by Flash and yet he's the number 1 fan of my other self."

"Locker-Knockered?" Natasha was stunned by what was just said. "Why didn't you use your super strength on him?"

"If I did that, my days as Spider-Man would be over." Peter stated. "And that's from when I fought Electro for the first time. I always made fun of his star-shaped mask."

"Hmm, and which one is that off?" asked Natasha as she looked at a picture of a guy with tentacles and an armored suit.

"Oh, that's Otto Octavius, aka Doctor Octopus." Peter informed. "He was working for Norman Osborn, who wanted a sample of my blood to make an entire army of Spider-Men. But after Norman became the Goblin, they haven't been steady on working together anymore."

"So, this must be from the time you battled the Sinister 6, am I correct?"

"Yes." Peter showed who all the members were. There was Kraven The Hunter, Vulture, Lizard, Rhino, Scorpion and Sandman.

"Wow, sure looks like you have allot of enemies after you."

"I sure do. It's allot to handle, but someone's gotta do it."

"So, you got any other enemies?" asked Natasha.

"Yes, the Frightful Four." Peter replied. "I have a feeling that they'll be back, and won't stop till I'm dead."

Natasha put her hand on his shoulder and told him, "I can help you defeat them if you want."

"Sure, I'd like that." Peter gladly accepted.

However, the mystery man who was watching him was intrigued by what had been over heard. Unknown to the wall-crawler and the Russian woman, he had placed a mini-microphone on the side of his house.

"Ah, so he's encountered the Sinister Six, eh?" he said. "I can top that battle easily. You there, Harvey!"

"Yes boss?" he asked.

"Get me Deadpool on the line!" he demanded.

"Right away!" Harvey said. He dialed a bunch of random numbers until he got an answer.

"Hello, who is this?" asked Deadpool as he talked over the line.

"This is Quinton Beck, I'm looking for Wade Wilson."

"This is him speaking." he replied. "But, I prefer Deadpool. So, what do you want Beck?"

"I would like you to ally yourself with The Sinister 6, and dispose of Spider-Man."

"The Web-head again?" he asked. "How much are you willing to pay?"

"I'll pay you $10,000 for his death." Quinton stated.

"I'll take it!" Deadpool said as he laughed maniacally.

A few minutes later, Sam Alexander who was also Nova: The Human Rocket came to see how Peter was doing. He brought Luke Cage/Power Man, Danny Rand/Iron Fist and Ava Ayala/White Tiger with him. Sam knocked on the door and said, "Pete, are you there?"

"Oh, man." Peter said. "It's Nova and the rest of my teammates."

"I'll go upstairs and get into my civies." Widow said as she rushed upstairs.

"Okay, I'll wait." Peter went over to the front door and said, "Hey guys, this is unexpected."

"I know, but there's allot we have to tell you." Sam said as he came in.

"Okay, how about you tell me in the living room." Peter allowed them all in.

Ava sat with Danny, Luke in one chair, and Sam in the other.

"Alright everyone, what seems to be the trouble?" Peter asked.

"Well, it looks as though someone else is after you." Luke answered.

"That happens to me all the time." Peter stated bluntly. "You're gonna have to be a little more specific."

"From what we could figure out, he had a striking resemblance to a guy going by the name of Cletus Kassidy, a psychopath who has been killing common criminals." Ava pointed out. "And he leaves his initials written in his victims blood, the press are calling him the Carnage Killer."

"His press-given name reminds me of that creature you were turned into by the Goblin." Danny added.

"Carnage? Brrrrr. Don't remind me of that day." Peter had jitters runnin up and down his spine, having flashbacks of that day Carnage was created. Carnage was a whole lot similar to Venom, but was red instead of black.

"Well, he hasn't been seen lately. He's been sent back to Ravencroft penitentiary." Natasha said as she came down the stairs. Sam, Ava, Luke and Danny were shocked to see Black Widow in her civilian clothing. They all sat and stood there, mouth agape and bug-eyed.

"BLACK WIDOW!?" the all wondered in unison. Danny went up and said, "Namaste, Natasha." He bowed to her.

"Namaste, Daniel." Natasha bowed back to the blonde.

"Uh...What are you doing here?" asked Ava.

"I'm keeping Peter company while his Aunt May is out of the house for a while."

The lot of them gasped. "We didn't expect this." Sam stated.

"So, in any case, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Leo Fitz informed us that the Sinister 6 have popped up again." Luke said. "And, they want to set a trap for Spidey."

"A trap?" asked Peter. "That's not good. We need to figure out how they got out and who put them up to this."

At the Quartermane Residence, Clay and Nick were with Mrs. Quartermane, keeping track of Spidey's progress.

"Fury, do you read me?" asked the web-head.

"Yes, I'm here." Fury informed. "I'm with agent Quartermane and his wife. What do you have to report?"

"It looks like the Sinister 6 are up to no good." Spidey said. "And, me, my team and Widow are looking for them."

"Okay then." Fury said. "But be careful."

"Looks like there have been sightings of a strange guy in crimson red and black running around with swords." Clay said.

"Swords?" Spidey wondered all bug eyed. "That can only point to one person. And you and I think it might be Him..."

"Without a doubt." Fury said.

"Okay, Spider-Man out." he signed out of his wrist comm. "I don't get, who could be involved with the Sinister 6?" He began to deepen his thoughts. "Loki? Nah. Juggernaut? Nope. So, that only leaves one suspect...Deadpool!"

In Manhattan, Spider-Man and the others were tracking the Sinister 6. They splut up to cover more ground. Widow went with Tiger, Power Man and Nova went with Iron Fist to find Electro.

"Who could have brought the Sinister 6 back together and why?" asked Nova.

"Not sure." answered Power Man. "But, whoever it is, we won't know unless we interrogate them."

"Widow, did you find Kraven?" asked Iron Fist.

"Yeah, he's aiding Doc Ock right now."

Doctor Octopus and Kraven were charging right at the ladies, but the two of them backfliped out of the way. "Whoa, that was a close call." White Tiger said.

"What are you doing here, White Tiger?" Kraven asked.

"Me and Black Widow want answers Kraven!" Tiger said. "What sort of trap have you set for Spider-Man!?" she demanded.

"I haven't the foggiest idea of what you're talking about." The Hunter replied.

Black Widow aimed her bracelet at the Hunter and Ock. "That's where you'd be lying, Sergei Kravinoff. What. Are you. And the Sinister Six. Planning?"

"Oh, something we know Spider-Man can never escape from!" Doc Ock said.

Widow and Tiger decided to do a double team to them, and Natasha does a roundhouse kick to Kraven, and Tiger pounced on Ock and then knocked them out.

"Well, that should do it. I wonder how the guys are doing." Widow wondered.

"Knowing them, they're probably wrapping up the other members." Tiger confirmed. The two ladies did a fist-bump and they liked it.

Nova, Power Man and Iron Fist caught up with Electro, only to find him with Scorpion, Lizard and Beetle. Iron Fist was shocked as he thought it was the one from Kun-Lun, but he was wrong.

"You're not the Scorpion I know of." Iron Fist said.

"You're right." Scorpion said. "I'm a different one who was created by J. Jonah Jameson, to kill Spider-Man. But, I never seen you lot before."

"I knew Jameson was slime faucet, but that is just low." Power Man stated.

"Yeah, what a shithead!" Nova added.

(A/N: Yeah, I had Nova say that Jameson is a shithead because, I cannot stand the way Jameson rants about Spidey being a menace, when really, he's the menace!)

"Nova, watch your mouth!" Black Widow scolded over the radio.

"Anyhoo, you won't get it out of us!" Electro said.

"Yessssss, you won't even get far enough to warn Sssspider-man about the plan we have for him!" Lizard said as he lunged at Nova, but the human rocket flew off with him still hanging on with his claws.

Iron Fist made a dodge from Scorpion's tail, and then grabbed it, swung him around and

*WHAM!*

"Take that, Scorpion!" Iron Fist said as he looked down at him. He turned his attention to Power Man who was being cornered by Electro and Beetle.

"You call yourself Power Man, but, all I see is boy who can't even battle his way past an electric powered man, and a guy in bug armor."

"Pal, you just made me mad!" Cage kicked Electro in the groin and then went after Beetle

"Okay, Beetle, you going down punk!"

"You dare insult me!?" Beetle aimed his cannons at Power Man, launched the missiles, but they had no effect.

Luke runs at him and pounds his helmet and knocks it off, revealing his face. He had short grey hair and brown eyes.

"So, this is what you look like without your helmet." Luke said. "I thought you'd be taller."

"I will not be humiliated by you Power Man!" Beetle raised his arm at him, but Luke pulled the missile launcher off and crumpled it into pieces.

"Think again, Beetle!" Power Man said as he knocked the crook out. "OW! Yeah!" he, Iron Fist and Nova did a three way high five.

Elsewhere, Deadpool was stalking Spider-Man like a wolf was tracking it's prey.

"Okay, I'm sure Deadpool is here somewhere." Spider-Man said. "Where are ya, you merc with a mouth!?"

Spidey felt his spider sense tingle, he turned around fast, and there Deadpool was standing on a roof holding a really big gun. "I'm up here, webby!"

*BOOM!*

Spidey turned his communicator on, and said "Guys, I know who allied the Sinister 6 allied themselves with."

"Who, web-head?" Nova asked.

"It's the nut-ball I wish I never met." the wall-crawler replied. "Deadpool!"

"What?!" Luke yelled.

"Wade Wilson?" Natasha said as she was shocked. "I can't believe he would pop up."

"That's his real name?" Spidey wondered.

"Yes." Widow pulled up the file as Spider-Man continued running away from Deadpool. "Wade Wilson aka Deadpool was a former ally to Wolverine and Sabertooth, but was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Simon Trask gave him a healing factor that's faster than Wolverine, and he's also got so many scars on his face he's never taking his mask off."

"Oh damn." Spidey said. "So, that was his real origin? He'd been lying to me the many times he told me when I fought Taskmaster and prevented him from stealing the list of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. And when he lied to me about there being an agent McGuffin."

"Exactly." Widow said. "He lies allot to throw anyone off his trail. When would like help?"

"Right now would be good!" Spidey yelled.

"Okay, meet you there!" Black Widow said as her and White Tiger got into her car.

Deadpool ganged up on the web-slinger, Nova, Power Man and Iron Fist ran towards the position.

"Wow, Black Widow, this is one sweet car you have." Ava said.

"Glad you like it." Natasha said.

Black Widow and Spider-Man had Deadpool cornered in the trainyard.

"Give it up, Deadpool! On behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. And The Avengers, you're under arrest!" She aimed her gauntlets at Deadpool.

"Then tell me, darlin, you wanna have fun till you scream?" Deadpool flirted in a western voice.

"I don't think so."

"You will." Deadpool smirked before he unsheathed his swords and charged towards the heroes.

Spider-Man and Widow double teamed Deadpool as they went back and forth, until Deadpool swept Widow off her feet and onto the ground. Spidey cried out, "WIDOW!" and he charged at Deadpool only to be tripped by him, causing him to fall on Black Widow by the boobs. He then looked at her in the eyes for a few seconds.

"Whoa! Sorry, Widow." he apologized as quickly as he got off her.

"Spider-Man, focus on him, not me!" Widow barked as she hit him on the shoulder.

"Ow! Right!" Spider-Man said as he clutched his shoulder and went back to fighting Deadpool.

Iron Fist and Power Man got ready for their positions. "Yo! Iron Fist! Double Team!" Cage called.

"On it, Power Man." Iron Fist responded as he went into his fighting stance.

Deadpool got out a machine gun and aimed right at the duo, only to have Power Man get in the way and take the bullets, but the bullets have no effect on him.

"Hey, what's going on?!" Deadpool was shocked to see that there were no bullets in his body. "Why aren't you bleeding?" He pointed his finger at him.

"Bulletproof skin, fool! You know You can't touch this!" Cage said before humming MC Hammer's Can't Touch This.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER! That's cheating!" Deadpool said grunting in disbelief.

"Well, too bad so sad." Cage said as he badassly shrugged off Deadpool's whining.

Then, Deadpool got up and knocked both Power Man and Iron Fist down. "Ow! Sweet Christmas!"

(A/N: Sweet Christmas. Why can't that be a popular superhero catchphrase?)

Nova was in the air, hovering above Deadpool. He then swooped down.

"I got 'im!" Nova blasted at Deadpool, but he jumped out of the way, and the blast hit White Tiger instead.

"Whoops!"

"OW!" Tiger yelled. "Nova, you idiot! Do that again, and I'll kill you!"

"Sorry!" Nova apologized before he charged at the Merc with the mouth, only to be kicked in the face by him and lost consciousness.

Deadpool laughed. "Oh my god! No wonder they call you buckethead! That should be your superhero name, bucket for brains!"

Spider-Man jumped behind him and grabbed him by the back, and did a tiger suplex to DP.

(BGM: theme from WCW Saturday Night)

Black Widow pulled Spidey behind a vent, and said to him, "Spider-Man, I got a needle that'll temporarily shut down his healing factor."

Spider-Man was now bugg-eyed, and then raised his eye, "What, what?" he asked.

"A needle that shuts down his healing factor for a limited amount of time." Widow replied and smiled at the wall crawler. "Just enough to beat him."

"Okay then, I have a plan." Spidey said as he whispered to her in the ear.

Deadpool saw them talking, and widened his eyes. "Whoa! I wonder what they're doing? Are they having a dirty conversation or somethin'? If so, then I'm feeling the 'Spider Love' vibe in the air! Or if they're doing that sexy thing on occasions like this one." Deadpool yapped his mouth off, then got webbed in the face by Spider-Man, which caused him to shriek like a little girl before Spidey webbed his feet together to cause the merc with a mouth to fall flat on his face. Then he webbed up his entire body to make sure that he did not escape.

"Okay, I didn't see that commin'" Deadpool said in a complaining manner.

"Dude, I thought I was annoying before, but I was wrong. You are much more annoying than..." Spidey was interrupted by a fuming Deadpool as he used his swords to cut his way out of the webbing, staring daggers at Spidey. "...me."

"Alright, Spider-Turd! You're in deep shit now!" Deadpool growled.

"Uh, oh!" Spider-Man exclaimed as Deadpool charged towards him to kill the web-head. Widow needed Spidey to by her some time, while she readied the needle.

Spidey quickly dodged Deadpool's sword attacks several times until the Merc with the mouth kicked him below the belt and the edge of his sword on Spidey's chest. Deadpool then started laughing like a psychopathic maniac. "I told you you were in deep shit, Spidey! Now all I have to do is flush you down the toilet!" before he started heavily breathing.

"Ah, gross!" Spider-Man said. "Have you been reading a book of mentally deranged serial killer cliches? Because, if you have, then you're CREEPING ME THE HELL OUT RIGHT NOW!" he yelled.

"Oh, Spidey! I like it when you talk dirty to me!" Deadpool's obsessive response made the Wall-Crawler groan in disgust.

"See what I mean!

Deadpool chuckles, "Of course, I do. I'm an anti-hero! An awesome anti-hero! I helped save lives and the world, but in my own way."

"By stabbing and killing people!?" Spider-Man yelled questioningly.

"Yup! But, only if the money is good."

"I've said this before, I'll say it again." Spidey recalled correctly. "You're NOT a hero! You're a MERCENARY!"

"Dude, shut. UP!" Deadpool slash at Spidey again, but now had him cornered to the edge of the rooftop. "Anyways, any last words before you die?"

"Yeah, her words!" Spidey said as Black Widow grabbed Deadpool from behind and held out the needle.

"Deadpool, shut. Up!" the super spy stabbed the Merc with the mouth with said needle and that caused him to drop his swords.

(BGM Ends)

"Ouchie, that smarts!" Deadpool whined.

"That's the idea, Wade." Widow quipped.

"Wait. What?"

"The formula that temporarily removes your healing factor for 24 hours. By that time, you'll be in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody." she informed.

"So, you're saying that I won't heal after getting my ass kicked, shot stabbed or blown to smithereens?" Deadpool asked.

"Absolutely." Black Widow picked him up and added, "But instead, you'll get put to sleep." she answered with a smirk as she balled his hand in fist.

"Okay then. Do you have a thing for each other?" Deadpool asked before getting knocked out by Spidey and Widow with a double punch to his face.

"Dude, that's none of your damn business!" Spider-Man yelled before he and Natasha returned their attention to each other.

"Get your friends so we can turn this asshole in." Widow ordered. "He's caused us enough trouble for just one day."

"Tell me about it. He's been a pain in my wall-crawling, web-spinning..."

"Just hush and do what I said."

"Or you'll kick my..." Spidey paused when Widow put her finger on his lips.

"No, I'll persuade you." Widow removed her finger from his lips, grabbed the outcold Deadpool and took him away.

In her thoughts, Natasha commented "Okay, why am I feeling like I'm flirting with him? He's just a kid. Probably 17 or 18 years old. But, somehow I'm feeling like I fell in love with him."

In Peter's thoughts, "Can you believe that? Because I can't. Fury didn't tell me she was a flirt! I mean, look at the way she put her finger on my lips. Looks like it's gonna be a long month before Aunt May comes back from her trip. There's no telling to where the Black Widow and I will go from there."

Elsewhere, Quinton Beck was watching the arrest on the news. "As if the city had enough with our own masked menace Spider-Man, this guy who calls himself Deadpool is even worse than that wall-crawler!" J. Jonah Jameson said. "I hear now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has Deadpool and the Sinister 6 locked up for questioning on why they were sent after the web-head. If you ask me, HE probably put them up to this as a stunt!"

"Ugh! I can't believe that Deadpool and the Sinister 6 have failed." Beck replied.

"What now boss?" asked Harvey.

"Contact Yelena Belova." Beck said. "And tell her to try and get Spider-Man and Romanoff out of the way."

"Right away, Mr. Beck." Harvey went over to the phone.

Later that night, Peter went back home after a long day of being a superhero.

"Man, that Deadpool is really getting under my skin." He said. "Not only is he obsessed with with killing me, but he's out of that whacky mind of his! No, I take that back, he has crazy town banana pants written all over him!"

Peter continued as he went upstairs to his room "I don't know how long he'll be held by S.H.I.E.L.D. But if he escapes from them, I'll be having eyes in the back of my head and my spider sense will alert me when that day comes."

All of a sudden, his head started to detect something "Speaking of which, my spider sense is tingling right now. Now what's going on? Could it be..."

Peter opened the door and Natasha appeared completely naked for head to toe, unknowingly exposed her body to him. After a really awkward stare down, they both started screaming before they turned from each other. They turned around with Peter covering his eyes and Natasha covering her naked body. "Nat, what are you doing in my room naked?!"

"Me?! What were you thinking barging in without knocking first?!" Natasha replied with a question of her own while she quickly grabbed her robe and put it on.

"How should I know?! I didn't even know that you were back!" Peter flopped roughly.

"Peter, you can open your eyes now. I've got my robe on." Peter turned around and sighed in relief.

"Widow, I'm sorry for barging in without..." Peter was interrupted by Natasha putting her hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay Pete. Really." Natasha replied apologetically. "Just knock on the door next time, okay?"

"Yeah, sure. But Widow, how come you didn't react in a negative way? Usually most women would be mad or angry when some men do perverted things."

"Normally I would have. But, as long as your old enemies are popping back on the scene, plotting something, we're gonna have to be on the same page." Natasha pointed out. "I told Fury and the rest of the Avengers that I'll be staying put with you until then." She then, put her hands behind his shoulders and said, "Who knows what kind of fun we'll be having."

"Well, um, I was afraid you would say that, I guess." Peter rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"What? Are you shy or something?" Natasha asked.

Peter tried to be blunt and to the point and answered hesitantly, "Huh? Me? No."

"Of course." Natasha said sarcastically and raised her eyebrow.

"Okay, I was a little bit." Peter admitted. "But if I was shy, then why did I accidentally look at you naked?"

Natasha started blushing a little bit.

Peter realized that he needed to leave her alone, and he said, "Okay, sorry. I'll just go downstairs and watch a little TV for a bit while you um...Yeah." Peter stepped out of his room and closed the door gently before he and Natasha got into their thoughts, "I think I have a crush on him/her"

Later, at Midnight, both Peter and Natasha in their pajamas laid down in Peter's bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Um, Nat."

"Yes."

"How come you didn't want to sleep in the guest room?"

"I would have, but I'd rather sleep in here than the guest room or your aunt's room. I mean, it's not like I'm sleeping with you in a sexual way." Natasha stated making Peter blush.

"I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful, but can we not talk about sex?" Peter felt embarrassed by what was said. "You're just a guest here. Probably until Aunt May comes home from her vacation. Besides, that'd be really awkward."

Natasha sighed and said, "You're right, we might as well take it slow."

"Thank you, Nat. Goodnight." Peter went fast asleep.

Natasha kissed Peter on the cheek, and said, "Goodnight, Pete." before she laid her head on the pillow and closed her eyes.

After sensing a spark between them, Peter and Natasha got up and started French kissing each other for 10 seconds before they said, "Goodnight." to each other and went to sleep.

To Be Continued...

Well, that's all for chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Sorry I took so long. Had writers block, but, I also needed to hold on till the last minute.

Stay tuned for Chapter 3: HYDRA Infiltration at Midtown!

I would like to dedicate this chapter and the whole story to the memory of a late great friend of mine, Christina Myers and her dog Voodoo. She passed away from a blood clot last month, and there was nothing that the doctor's could do. I took it hard, but I am not gonna let this stop me!

Please Read, Review, Fave and Follow. And remember, NO FLAMES!
