-?-
Death found herself standing in the dark abyss of space and looking up at a large colossal figure whose form was shrouded with shadows.
The balance has been shifted…
"I felt it too, but what should we do about it? Some Earthling is gaining power which should never be wielded by a mortal…" Death said seriously making the colossal being hum in thought.
I find this occurrence…interesting…we shall go to Earth and enter this tournament to find out who this newcomer is. You are to track them down and eradicate the source of this imbalance, do not hold back.
"I was under the impression you were fond of the earthlings. Should I release my true power there is no way the planet will survive." Death reminded the being whom chuckled.
Then I will recreate them, this is too important to let go unchecked…the source of this power soon they will stand among even us.
"That cannot happen."
Then see to it that it doesn't.
-Meanwhile: With Peter-
Spider-Man stood inside the web with Mayday, Jessica, Julia, and Taran.
"You all saw that right?" Spider-Man questioned as the women nodded their heads looking slightly frightened. "Good so I'm not going insane. Alright I couldn't see the large being but he's irrelevant at the moment. Death is coming for me but we currently have the advantage. I'm sorry but I'll have to postpone our dates seeing as I need you four to work on the web non-stop."
"Dad, there is no outcome where you win." Mayday pointed out making Spider-Man chuckle.
"Then we make one, listen up we're going to bring down Death. This is the plan…" Spider-Man began. They nodded when he finished his explanation and left to carry out his will. Peter rubbed his temples with a sigh. He was about to attempt to triple the web's power in a matter of days. The web's current power took Anansi his entire life time to build.
Let it be said that Peter never minded the occasional challenge.
-The next morning: Shadowland-
"I don't know, it's like my body has gone numb and my heart was replaced by a void." Kiden said tiredly as she lay back on her couch. "I've tried to fill it with everything I could find, violence, drugs, sex, money but nothing seems to work."
"Listen Kiden, I do not know what you expect me to say." Emma drawled as she set in a nearby chair. "I am not a psychologist."
"Geez, what the hell do I even keep you around for." Kiden muttered as she rolled her eyes making Emma raise her eyebrow skeptically.
"You keep me around because you see me as some sort of mother figure due to your strained relationship with your own mother. Let's not forget the fact that you can relate to me easily since we have both made bad choices in our life, we have both ended up killing a sibling, hide behind a façade, and hell we both even dyed our hair the same color." Emma began as Kiden turned to her with slightly wider eyes.
"Uh-"
"Of course this is all added on to the fact that since you are keeping me out of jail and paying me nicely so that you will not have to face the same abandonment issues you have with your biological mother. Tell me; am I anywhere in the proverbial ball park?" Emma asked dryly, and what followed was possibly the most awkward silence ever experienced.
"I thought you said you weren't a psychologist." Kiden finally accused.
"I dabbled." Emma admitted with a half-hearted shrug before softening her usual stoic gaze. "Listen to me Kiden I know it was hard doing what you did to your brother; no matter how deep you bury it. Go to his funeral, pay your respects and together we can try to find a way to keep you from continuing this downward spiral of self-destruction." Emma said as she stood up and began to walk out of Kiden's office.
"You know you are surprisingly helpful for a glorified secretary." Kiden spoke up making the older woman pause in the door way before glancing back. For a split second an image of a dying Esme Cuckoo flashed through her mind as she stared at the younger mutant.
"Let's just say I am preventing myself from making the same mistake twice and leave it at that."
"Yes mom." Kiden said sarcastically making the older blonde smirk slightly.
"By the way, Ms. Kinney has been back for a little less than a week now, I understand you have been busy but please do attempt to visit her."
"Will do; now if you excuse me I have a funeral to get ready for." Kiden sighed as she stood up. "Oh and Emma?" Kiden continued making the woman glance back at her curiously. "Thanks."
-Meanwhile: Peter's Apartment: Bedroom-
"So on a scale from one to ten how awkward do you think this will be?" Peter wonder out loud as he leaned against the wall wearing a simply black suit. He had just finished a meeting with some stock holders when he saw that Gwen and Sarah were beginning to stir.
"Eleven, easily." Laura said smoothly. "Just be grateful Chun-Li had to go drop off Lauren at Emora."
"By the way, how did Logan take the news?" Peter wondered making the feral smile slightly to herself.
-Flash Back one day ago: Utopia-
Logan was sitting in his office at the institute talking to Daken and Rachel when he heard the door open.
"Glad to see ya Laura." Logan said gruffly as the feral entered his office while the other two greeted her.
"Likewise." Laura said with a small smile.
"So what brings you here, you just stop by for a chat?" Logan questioned curiously making his daughter sigh and shake her head.
"Not this time actually." Laura answered seriously making them tense slightly. "I have a new student that I would like to enroll here and I want you to take care of him personally. Illyana bring him in." The three other occupants' eyes widened in shock when a little boy walked in with the blonde mutant.
*SNIFF*
"Oh hell no." Logan began with a growl as he saw what could only be Laura's son as Daken laughed.
"So 'lil sis got knocked up haha! Well at least we know our bloodline will prosper." Daken chuckled making the clone roll her eyes.
"No matter how you look at it, he's too old to be her child despite the similarities. Unless the child grows at an accelerated rate, which isn't technically impossible seeing we have no idea if Laura being a clone would affect her children." Rachel cut in gaining the two male ferals attention.
"That doesn't make any sense though, he smells too much like her to be Daken's-"Logan stopped right there as a cold chill went down his spine.
"Looks like you remembered she's your clone." Rachel said dryly as Logan placed his face in his hands before staring up tiredly at the little boy that looked too much like him for comfort. Still there was a chance-
"I found him in the Savage Lands." Laura stated simply making his shoulders slump. Damn it, he sure as hell remembered his encounter with one of the women there.
"So you are a middle child; that really explains so much." Daken chuckled making Laura glare at him.
"Letting that comment slide, his mother…perished when some of the purifiers tracked me down there." Laura continued with a frown as Logan narrowed his eyes.
"Did you…" Wolverine began with a growl.
"I removed most of them." Laura said before smirking. "The last few members are having a meeting tonight. Here's the address." Laura said as she set a piece of paper down in front of the feral making him grin viciously.
"I knew there was a reason you were my favorite."
"Up yours old man." Daken muttered as he crossed his arms. Logan, despite the situation, laughed at his son's expense before turning back to the wide-eyed toddler. Oh yes…
…it was a very bad night to be a Purifier.
-Flash Back: End-
"You know, soon your family might need a completely new classification like mine." Peter murmured making her look at him in confusion. "I mean seeing how strong the feral nature in your genes are, your offspring are pretty much guaranteed to be a lupine mutant. And seeing how long you live and your, umm, mating habits, I give it two or three generations."
"Hmm, I'll definitely bring that up later." Laura said when she suddenly tensed. "My mother is waking up in the guest room."
"Go to her, she'll need a familiar face. Besides Gwen is about to wake up in a moment as well." Peter said making her nod before she left to go check on her mother. Peter sighed as he watched Gwen begin to shift on his bed.
-Guest Room-
"W-where…where am I?" Sarah muttered as she shakily sat up in the strange bed. "Whose bed is this?" The woman wondered as she turned to get a better look at the luxurious room before flinching when a sharp pain went through her side. Raising her shirt slightly she released a gasp when she saw two long scars on her side. She held her head in pain as she recalled the moment that her crimson eyed daughter descended upon her with her claws drawn. "Laura…"
"You're awake." A calm voice spoke up and Sarah looked up to find a woman with long pitch black hair and shockingly vibrant violet eyes leaning in the doorway with her arms crossed. "It…it's good to see you." The woman said with an obviously forced smile. Something about the mysterious woman made her heart clench as she attempted to figure out just where she had seen her before.
"Please tell me where am I? How am I alive?" Sarah questioned frantically as a look of pain crossed her face. "Where is my daughter?" The last question seemed to make the woman pause before shaking her head.
"Well it has been nearly seven years…" The woman muttered to herself. "You are currently in New York; this apartment belongs to someone dear to me. How you are alive…well…it's a long story but you did infact come back from the dead. It's been nearly seven years since you've last opened your eyes." The woman said seriously. Sarah took a deep breath as the reality of the situation began to hit her.
"S-seven years? There's no telling how much I have missed, but please tell me where my daughter is." Sarah pleaded and the woman closed her eyes for a moment before opening them and raising her right fist.
*SNICKT!*
"Right here." Laura revealed making Sarah's mouth in silent shock.
"L-Laura?" Sarah managed to get out as she forced herself from the bed, making the younger woman look at her in concern. Slowly but surely she began to see the resemblances between the woman in front of her and her thirteen year old daughter. She stumbled slightly and Laura quickly caught her. "You're all grown up…my baby…I'm so sorry." The older woman wept as she held the feral tightly.
"It's okay I have forgiven you a long time ago." Lauren said honestly as she rubbed her mother's back soothingly. "Let it out, mother let it all out." And so the scientist wept and oddly enough Laura let a few tears of her own slide down her cheeks.
-With Peter-
"Glad to see you're healthy." Peter said amused as he watched Gwen regain her bearings as she sat up. She was taken back slightly when she saw the older handsome stranger staring at her from the opposite side of the room. However it didn't take her long to realize who he was.
"P-Peter!?" Gwen asked in shock.
"Well I'll be damned you did recognize me." Peter chuckled as Gwen continued to stare at him in disbelief.
"But-but you're so much older how is this possible?" Gwen asked in confusion.
"I'll have you know that I'm only in my late twenties thank you." Peter said with mock annoyance. "You've been out for a while Gwen, tell me what's the last thing you remember?" Gwen frowned in thought at the question.
"I felt the air leave my lungs and my vision go black just before Spider-Man caught me." Gwen answered truthfully making Peter nod.
"Your memory seems fine but I might have to have someone run a few more tests on you to be sure." Peter said as stepped towards her. "Now Gwen I need you to understand, you weren't in a coma. You were dead and due to a lot of circumstances I am not going to get in to right now, you're back, but we're going to have to keep an eye on you okay?"
"D-dead?" Gwen repeated with a small feeling of dread. "For so many years…" Gwen trailed off before swallowing a lump that was in her throat. As much as she didn't want to bring it up she had to ask. "Are…"
"Sarah is fine." Peter interrupted making her close her mouth as he figured what she was about to ask. "I haven't been in contact with Gabriel for a while though but he's probably okay."
"You know." Gwen said sadly, it was a statement more than a question.
"Yeah I do, but that was a long time ago and quite frankly I have bigger things to be worried about." Peter deadpanned before sighing. "It would also make me one hell of a hypocrite especially with my relationship with Sue."
"H-How old are they?" Gwen asked weakly as she thought about her twins.
"There were some…complications. Due to their unique circumstances they aged at an accelerated rate. Technically they aren't even in the double digits yet but at the same time they look as old as I do and are as old mentally as they are physically." Peter revealed as he let the information sink in.
"How is that even possible!?" Gwen questioned and it was then that Peter began to shift uncomfortably. There was simply no easy way of putting it.
"You need to understand Norman Osborn wasn't the man you thought he was-which is really ironic coming from me." Peter began as Gwen bowed her head slightly as she realized just how much Peter knew. "This won't be easy to hear but he was the Green Goblin, the serum that turned him in to that monster increased their aging rate."
"Oh God…" Gwen said as she began to feel sick, the father of her children was an insane maniac that killed her.
"Yeah I mean…that hair." Peter muttered with a shudder as he thought of Norman's hair. "You definitely could have chosen better."
"How are you so calm talking about this?" Gwen questioned in confusion making him raise an eyebrow.
"It's been years, I've been able to cope with this a long time ago and this isn't even close tone of the strangest things that I have been through. Let's not forget that Norman tricked your kids into trying to kill me by the way-"
"What!?" Gwen shouted in surprise.
"It was this whole thing…but we got passed that, though I'm starting to wish your daughter still tried to kill me." Peter muttered to himself as he remembered that Gwen's daughter may have liked him a little too much if their last encounter was anything to go by. "She even kissed like Gwen what the hell!? Ugh, bad thoughts Pete bad thoughts…"
"Why would he send them to kill you?" Gwen questioned as she went pale.
"Promise me you won't freak out?" Peter began making the confused woman nod. "I'm Spider-Man." Gwen stared at him for a moment before her vision suddenly went black as she fainted. "…She took that well."
-With Laura-
"You killed Kimura, but how? She's virtually in destructible." Sarah asked in surprise as she sat on the bed next to her daughter.
"I drowned that bitch." Laura said bluntly. "She deserved it after what she did to your sister."
"You mean Debbie is…" Sarah trailed off getting a grim nod from her daughter. "W-what about Megan, how is she?"
"Last I heard she had moved in with Johnny Storm-a member of a super hero team." Laura added at her mother's confused expression. "He's a very good man, I'm happy for them."
"A super hero? I would have loved to see the look on Debbie's face." Sarah said with a sad smile. "What about you? What's your life like? Anyone special?" Laura stiffened and her eyes widened slightly. Somewhere Deadpool was laughing about Laura breaking the record of how many different times one could come out to their mother.
"I've literally been to hell and back and then back again to rule part of it. I've faced down armies and world eaters…why the hell am I nervous right now!?" Laura wondered in confusion. Mistaking her silence for sadness, Sarah grimaced.
"Why did I ask her that? Considering how she was brought up it would be incredibly hard for her to find someone-"
"Well there is Peter." Laura began making Sarah's head turn to her in surprise. "That's whose apartment this is. He's a former photographer and scientist turned super CEO of a multi-billion dollar industry." Laura explained though she sounded almost bored at that. "I can't tell her about Spider-Man unless Peter says it's okay."
["Go ahead!"] Peter shouted from down the hallway making her shake her head.
"He's also the vigilante known as Spider-Man-"
"That lunatic in New York?" Sarah asked incredulously.
"He's a good person. We've been working together and he even taught me what it meant to be a hero before we finally managed to get together." Laura explained. "Technically we've been together for more than a year though we haven't really seen each other in a while until recently. I'm getting married soon as well. You coming back to life is a very pleasant surprise." After getting over her shock Sarah shook her head and gave a forced smile.
"I'm glad to hear you're happy." Sarah said making Laura smile though inwardly she was cautious of this Peter person to say the least. A man renowned as being a villain becoming rich and proposing to her daughter whom was raised to be a super weapon. Adding on to the fact that they've apparently haven't even seen each other longer than a year.
Yeah…
That didn't sound suspicious at all.
It was then that she noticed that Laura was infact wearing a ring.
"At least he has sense in jewelry." Sarah spoke up confusing Laura before the feral glanced down at her hand and blushed slightly. "I didn't even know she could do that. He must really be something."
"Oh no, this isn't from Peter. This is from my fiancé." Laura corrected making Sarah nod her head.
"Ah, I see-"
Wait.
What?
"I'm sorry Laura, but can you explain that one to me? I thought you and this Peter were lovers?" Sarah asked slowly making sure she didn't misunderstand.
"Oh we are, but this is from my fiancé." Laura stated as if it made perfect sense.
"So wait, you're cheating on your fiancé?" Sarah said aghast. She may not have raised Laura long, but it was definitely better than that...assassination missions and experiments aside.
"Oh no, she's knows as well." Laura corrected again.
"She?" Sarah repeated her face conveying 'What The Fuck' perfectly. "Please explain to me how this happened?"
"Well she and I had met a while ago and looking back on it we definitely grew closer when we were in Paris together." Laura said as she thought back on it. "Anyway, no physical relationship occurred until a little more than a year ago when I was helping her control her mating habits."
"Wait? Mating habits? Is she a lupine mutant like you?" Sarah wondered. The odds of two feral mutants meeting each other were low especially since they were so rare to come across, which was the main reason they had to keep experimenting with Logan's DNA.
"No, infact, I'm not sure if she would be classified as a mutant anymore." Laura revealed confusing her poor mother even more.
"Laura…one doesn't just stop being a mutant." Sarah said with a small frown.
"They did during M-Day." Laura deadpanned.
"M-day."
"It was a mutant genocide. A woman with the power to control reality snapped and wiped out 99% of the mutant race with a sentence fragment." Laura explained as her mother just blatantly gaped at her at this point. "Jubilee-that's my fiancé's name- lost her powers."
"So she's human…?" Sarah asked carefully not sure how much more her mind could take.
"For a little while, at least until she was bitten by a vampire." Laura raised an eyebrow as her mother's right eye began to twitch slightly. "Later when we were having a fight in a tournament-I'll explain that at another time- her mutant powers freed themselves turning her into a hybrid. Later she had consumed so much of my blood she that she became a new being altogether. No one knows what to call her so they just gave her a title after she drained Dracula himself."
"And what's that title." Sarah asked carefully as she began to fear whatever monster her daughter had managed to get hitched to.
"Vampire Queen." A new voice spoke up and they turned to see Jubilee leaning in the door way with amusement shining in her crimson eyes. "I came to see which one of you was having the more awkward conversation, so far you've got webs beat." Jubilee said making Laura shake her head at the vampire's antics. "Sarah Kinney, right?" Jubilee questioned making the scientist nod her head carefully. "Jubilation Lee, Vampire Queen, I'm glad to finally meet you!" Jubilee said with a bright smile as she extended her hand towards the scientist.
"N-nice to meet you as well." Sarah said nervously as she shook the younger woman's hand. She shivered at how cold it was and paled slightly when she noticed just how sharp her fangs looked. When the Vampire then proceeded to greet her daughter with a not so innocent kiss, Sarah wondered if her mind could handle her daughter's new life.
-With Peter-
"So what now? What am I supposed to do now?" Gwen asked quietly. She felt completely betrayed that Peter kept his life as Spider-Man away from her, especially after finding out that her father knew as well, but she didn't dare to voice it seeing how she wasn't exactly a saint in their relationship.
"You move forward." Peter said with a surprising amount of seriousness. "Life screwed you over but if there is one thing I've learned it is that you have to grin and bear it. As hard as it is to believe, everything will get better but you have to make it happen."
"I died Peter. How do I resume life after that?" Gwen asked helplessly.
"I can give you a good paying job as one of my researchers in one of my Emoran branches." Peter revealed with a small smile. "The leaders of that country will look after you and help you get back on your feet."
"What about you Peter? What about us? Where exactly do we stand now?" Gwen questioned as she gazed into Peter's eyes.
"That's…complicated to be honest." Peter sighed. "I love you Gwen, really I do, but remember it's been years." Peter said tiredly as Gwen looked down sadly.
"You've moved on?" It was more of a statement that a question but Peter still groaned and scratched the back of his head.
"Not exactly."
"What do you mean? Either you have or you haven't." Gwen said with a frown.
"It's extremely complicated." Peter stated weakly confusing the blonde greatly. "We would literally be here for hours if I tried to explain it."
"Try me." Gwen challenged making Peter shrug before sighing.
"You asked for it. I guess that I should start off by saying that I am currently in the middle of a very open relationship." Peter began making the blonde look at him incredulously.
"I…I never would have thought you of all people would be in to that kind of thing."
"Don't be mistaken, it wasn't my choice at all." Peter said as he shook his head. "In fact a few years after you died my most serious relationship was when I married MJ."
"You and MJ?" Gwen asked not sure how she felt about that. "What happened between you two? Did it not work out?"
"On the contrary, she stuck with me through everything, even me being Spider-Man and the unfortunate miscarriage of our daughter couldn't keep us apart." Peter said with a humorless smile as he thought about how much crap he put MJ through during their marriage. "The devil had to get involved in order to split us up. Maybe I should start there…" And so Peter filled his former girlfriend in on everything that happened in his life from the point he married MJ until the present day. Gwen was afraid her jaw would fall off after fifteen minutes in to the story.
-Hours later-
"…And here we are." Peter finished as Gwen just stared at him. "Pretty funny story right?" Peter asked nervously.
Gwen just continued to stare.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
Finally after a few more moments, in a completely uncharacteristic moment Gwen just had to say…
"Bullshit." Gwen deadpanned. "You had me for a moment but when you brought in the kids and gods I knew you were trying to mess with me-"
*CRASH*
It was at that moment that a certain red haired teenager crashed through the door with a giggling Ben in her hands. From head to toe-minus her arms- she was covered with webbing as the infant giggled even harder with a nearly toothless smile.
"*MMMPH!*"
"Language. We have a guest." Peter warned half-heartedly as Gwen looked at the exchange in a stunned silence.
"*MMMPH! *" The teen tried to shout even louder and Peter was sure she was seconds away from slamming Ben down like a football. Peter chuckled before finally taking pity on his first born and removed Ben from her hands. Peter then used his free hand to rip the webbing from May's body, revealing the teen to be in her Spider- Girl costume minus the mask.
"I take it Ben finally learned how to shoot webbing." Peter said sounding amused as May just glared at him before narrowing her eyes at the giggling boy.
"Just wait until you're older, I will make your life hell." May warned before turning to her father. "Watch him Dad; I'm going out on patrol. W is Felicia, anyway?"
"No idea, she said she was working on a surprise for me and made me promise to not check in on her." Peter said with a shrug. May shook her head and walked out of the room. "Be safe honey!"
"I will!" May called back. Gwen and Peter once again found themselves in an awkward staring match only this time little Benjamin was in on it too as he looked between the adults curiously.
"So…you and MJ really did have a teen daughter…" Gwen began making Peter nod.
"Yup."
"And a little boy from another super powered cat burglar turned super hero." Gwen continued making Peter nod.
"Yup."
"Everything you said was true wasn't it?"
"Mhmm."
"Wow." Was all Gwen could say, seriously she had no idea what to do in this situation. A small part of her wanted to be upset at the situation she found herself in but to put it frankly Peter's life had been a literal hell and she of all people wasn't going to add any more stress. A bigger part of her was even happy that at least Peter was happy. It was then she noticed something. "What's that in his mouth?"
"Hmm?" It was then that Peter noticed that Ben had put some sort of red cloth in his mouth and was slobbering over it. Raising an eyebrow, Peter pulled the cloth out and looked at his son in disbelief when he realized what it was. "Ben…how did you steal your sister's mask?" Peter asked incredulously, taking a mask from a Spider-hero tended to be a very hard thing to accomplish.
Looks like he was beginning to see just who his son took after.
May suddenly stomped back in to the room with an eye twitch and grabbed her wet mask.
"Son of a bitch!" May muttered as she began to leave the remove again.
"I'll have you know that…actually that's a very accurate description of my son now that I think about it." A new voice spoke up as they saw Felicia leaning in the doorway looking amused. She had her hair in a ponytail and was wearing a black tank top with a matching pair of boy shorts. Peter realized that she must have been out doing her daily workout.
"I...actually don't have anything to say about that." May said before shrugging and leaving the room. Felicia walked forward casually and extended her hand towards the younger blonde.
"Felicia Hardy pleased to meet you." Felicia introduced herself with a smile. "It really is an honor to see the woman who made Peter the man he is today; I owe you for that one." It never surprised Peter how polite and proper his girlfriend had become after Ben was born. She had taken Phantom's 'thief with class' attitude to heart and realized that she would have to be the one to help move Ben along to once again dawning the white mask. She had to set an example for Ben, and she was going to do it.
A chill went down Peter's spine as he wondered how long it would be before Black Cat came out of retirement because he knew…
Oh lord he knew…
That no matter what powers he had, she'd still find a way to get under his skin. Oddly enough part of him couldn't wait. He loved Felicia but like she said she could only be completely her when she could be Black Cat as well.
"It…it's nice to meet you." Gwen said with a forced smile. Even she couldn't deny that the woman before her had a ridiculously good looking body. The fact Peter said she used to go around stealing in tight leather perplexed her to no end. "It seriously shouldn't be possible to be able to be nimble and flip around with a chest that big."
"They serve as ballasts." Felicia shrugged making the younger blonde look at her in shock. "No I'm not psychic but everyone wonders it." (LIAG Fun Fact: Felicia herself had stated that her breasts serve as ballasts…no comment.)
"So what did you need?" Peter asked figuring she came in to the room for some reason. Felicia handed him a white Envelope that was sealed with the emblem "X7". Raising an eyebrow curiously, Peter opened it up.
["Dear Tournament Participants Former and current,
After thinking about how much stress had occurred in the past year along with the current successful battles, I have taken it upon myself to give you all an all-expense paid vacation at DP's resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. Like with the cruise last year, you may bring guests and just enjoy yourselves. I am expecting a good turn out this time…why?...Because it's mandatory bitches! Too much stress on the other-worldly participants will result in complete disaster so come and relax.
Until we meet again,
Rebuff"]
"Well damn." Peter deadpanned. "Nothing good will come from this."
"Don't be that way, I heard the last event was fun but I couldn't go because someone decided to show just what they could do on a ceiling." Felicia said making Peter slump his shoulders.
"Hopefully it will be okay. Change of plans Gwen." Peter said as he turned to the blonde whom looked at him in confusion. "I'm going to have to leave for a bit, so I will leave you here to get used to being alive and all that for a bit and then we'll discuss getting you back on your feet with MJ. We can discuss the more delicate things later. We both know that once everything I've revealed today finally sinks in you will want to be alone for a bit." Peter said as he stood up and headed towards the door with Felicia. Pausing at the door frame, Peter glanced back at Gwen with a sad smile. "It really is good to have you back Gwen."
And with that Peter and Felicia left the room. Felicia waited until they were out of earshot before turning to Peter with a frown.
"You're just going to leave her like that?" Felicia asked with a frown making Peter sigh. "Also how are you taking this so easily? You're so…calm."
"That's what I have to be right now." Peter said simply. "Even after all of these years I still find myself in love with her. Her death was one of my biggest driving forces as Spider-Man but believe me when I say that inwardly I am a storm of emotions right now, but this just isn't the right time. I have to stay focus on a much bigger picture right now; I have to make sure that everything goes as planned."
"Peter…you saw something didn't you?" Felicia questioned with narrowed eyes. "When I handed you that envelope…you got that look in your eyes."
"What look?" Peter asked as if he didn't already know the answer.
"The same one you had during the black out five months ago, when May and Andy almost died." Felicia said seriously making Peter's fist clench slightly. "Just what is about to happen? Who are you about to fight? Is it her again?" The platinum blonde questioned with a hint of apprehension in her voice.
"No someone much worse." Peter answered vaguely as he embraced the woman whom rested her head on his shoulder. "They will be taken care of as long as everything goes according to my plan. Also don't worry about her anymore…she's being taken care of." Peter said with narrowed eyes as he gazed out of his apartment window at the large Alchemax building. "…She's being taken care of."

BGM: Snow in Summer- NieR soundtrack
In a room that was completely white a woman with long brown hair was strapped to the side of a wall as various wires were plugged into her body. The woman was muttering to herself as she looked out towards a large glass screen that split the completely white room in half. On the opposite side of the screen a projector turned on form the ceiling allowing the holographic body of Robyn to stand behind the glass. The woman stared at the frowning Robyn blankly as her pupils shook slightly.
"Arthur?" The woman questioned blankly making the normally cheerful AI's frown deepen.
"Pardon?" Robyn questioned as she approached her side of the screen.
"They who wield the sword of promised victory will return and save us. The second coming of the Once and Future King will be our salvation and I ask you my liege…are you my salvation?" The woman muttered with practice ease.
"I am Robyn; this is the fiftieth meeting we have had. Yet you cannot remember my name?" Robyn asked carefully.
"If you are not Arthur then perhaps you are my ill-made knight?" The woman continued.
"Attempt number fifty, subject still cannot remember my name, nor shows any signs of being able to rejoin the normal populace." Robyn said as she paced back and forth. "Still…she is talking now, this behavior should be encouraged." Robyn said as she internally recorded the meeting. "Tell me, what is your name?"
"…"
"What is my name?" Robyn asked and inwardly recorded how the woman's pupils stopped shaking for a moment.
"Robyn."
"Good. Now-"
"Spelled with a Y for freedom because there is no why in freedom." The woman continued. "Still there is a Y and a why in misery. My Misery, free me from it, bring an end to my tale I beg you."
"I won't. That is not justice. You are like this because you were at the wrong place and the wrong time. You may be a danger to everyone, but killing you will never be justified because you have not done anything that earns that kind of end."
"It hurts…all of this knowledge hurts." The woman whimpered making Robyn's gaze soften as she placed her holographic palm on the screen.
"I know."
The sadness in her voice was palpable.
"I will save you from yourself, but you have to work with me, with Alchemax." Robyn said as she gazed at the woman. "What. Is. Your. Name?"
"Sylvia." The woman replied making Robyn's eyes widen. "Sylvia, Robyn, happy, loyal, and sanctuary…all these words have a Y in them and for some reason…I like keeping them together." The now revealed Sylvia said with almost childlike innocence. "If you can't save me can you at least protect me…from myself?"
"Of course." Robyn swore, and even for an AI, she knew damn well she would keep her word. That's just how she is, no why about it. "I have been instructed to keep you company until you are better, though for some reason I feel as though I would anyway."
"Then can I ask you a question?" Sylvia asked suddenly.
"Shoot."
The question that fell from the woman's lips would haunt the AI for days to come.
(LIAG Helpful Info: Sylvia Prell AKA Fulmina was infected with the Carrion Virus. She's an undergrad of British Literature I believe. How the fuck she turned out like this in my story will be explained later. As for powers think of a golden version of Electro.)
-Three hours later: Cemetery-
BGM: Sleepwalking- The Chain Gang of 1974 (GTAV Soundtrack)
[Here lies Tyler Nixon, beloved son and brother. Rest in Peace.]
Kiden was staring blankly at the tombstone as rain poured down heavily. Everyone had left a while ago, but she stayed. She felt so numb she didn't even register them leaving. She looked impassive but inwardly she was a storm of emotion.
"Why? Why did you make me do it Tyler? No matter what I did…no matter how much I screwed up or hated my life…I never wanted or expected something like this to habit." Kiden thought as she narrowed her eyes. "A petty 2-bit gangster gone 3-bit…you tried to sentence your own sister to life and prison and harm many innocent women and children…for what? A slightly bigger paycheck?" Kiden wondered as she glared at the tombstone and pulled out a black pistol.
*BANG!*
* BANG!*
Kiden shot the word 'Nixon' right off the tombstone and turned away. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw Talon standing in front of her, with a face filled with concern.
"Laura?"
"Hey…" Laura said with a weak smile. "It's been awhile." Despite the situation Kiden couldn't help but laugh even as tears fell from her eyes. "I heard about what happened with your brother…I'm sorry you had to go through that, if it makes you feel any better he was one of my targets." Kiden looked at her incredulously as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"You know what Laura?" Kiden asked rhetorically as a small smile. "It does…it really does."
"How are you feeling Kiden?"
"Empty." Kiden answered truthfully as she walked towards the feral. "But that's changed now that you're here." Kiden said as she hooked her arm around on of the feral's and began to drag Laura away. "I feel as though I've been sleepwalking…help me feel awake again so that I can move forward. Let's runaway from all of this nonsense for a few hours."
"I'll help you the best that I can." Laura smiled. "But where are we going?"
"Do we ever know?" Kiden asked before pointing ahead as the clouds began to part allowing the sun's rays to shine down. "We're moving forward and that's all that matters. Come on, we can fill each other in on what we've missed. Let's go!" Kiden said with a grin as a fresh breeze of air almost felt as though it were pushing life itself within her.
"Yes, lets." Laura agreed and both friends ran off like they did when they we're younger. Both had large smiles and neither knew where they were going to end up by the end of this little trip but they didn't care.
Never had and probably never would.
Just another day for Nyx.
BGM: END
-One Day Later: Las Vegas: Outside DP's Casino Royale-
"Wow…there are a lot of reporters out here." Johnny said as he found himself walking on a red carpet alongside Megan as the reporter's cameras flashed wildly.
"Well you are sort of famous." Megan reminded good naturedly making him laugh. They so reached the doors of the Casino where they ran into Logan.
"So you decided to come after all?"
"Well it was mandatory." Logan said dryly. "Even then, it seemed like a good idea so why not."
"You came here for the free booze didn't you?" Johnny deadpanned making the feral smirk. "So is everyone here? I know Sue and the kids landed a little earlier."
"Well so far everyone is here besides-"Logan was cut off as the crowd of reporters suddenly screamed when a limo pulled up.
"…Team Amazing?" Johnny finished making Logan nod. "Funny how the guy that invited me is the last one here."
"Maybe they just like to show up fashionably late?" Megan suggested.
-Limo-
BGM: Applause- Lady GaGa
"Alright remember to keep your images darlings." Joan said as she looked at her clients as Sarah sat next to her and turned to her in confusion. "Spider-Man, go take pictures with the younger reporters and pose with the kids."
"Got it." Spidey said as he nodded his head. He was wearing his formal Spider outfit while his team mates kept their normal clothes on.
"Chun-Li." Joan began getting her attention. "You were an Icon before even Spidey so just do a few signature poses and you're good."
"Sounds doable."
"Talon-"Laura looked up at the woman with a cold expression making the woman smirk. "Good keep that up, Illyana just follow her lead. Sarah, stay next to me. Alright everyone let's get this done with. Don't do anything that will cost me money, your image sells well."
-Outside the Limo-
Talon stepped out and had to force herself not close her eyes from the sudden flashes of light. She looked up towards where she saw Logan and the others and began to walk towards them without so much as acknowledging the paparazzi as Magik followed close behind her.
"Talon! We love you!" Someone shouted making Sarah shake her head in disbelief as everyone else finally got out of the vehicle.
"Spider-Man can I have your autograph?" A little boy asked making the hero kneel down and sign his notepad before ruffling his hair and turning them towards a camera.
"Alright little man, let's see those devil horns!" Spidey cheered and the boy nodded as they both did the hand gesture as the crowd took more pictures.
"Let's get a pose Chun-Li!" Someone shouted making Chun-Li smirk before she spun around and released a high kick that stopped one centimeter from the reporter's head making him pale as the cameras went off wildly. Talon was the first to make it to them and gave her cousin a smile that was hidden from the cameras.
"Glad to see you again Megan. How are you?" Laura questioned making the blonde smile back at her.
"Great! I have to say you really know how to work a crowd for someone that went missing for a year." Megan pointed out before glancing behind her cousin. "Laura, I may need glasses but is that Aunt Sarah?" Megan asked in disbelief as Logan glanced back towards the green eyed woman.
"Yes, that is my mother…it's a really long story we can go over it later." Laura said tiredly making the blonde nod numbly. It was at that moment that Daken walked out of the casino and started towards them.
BGM: END
"Old man, you know you're missing out on a lot of free booze and easy women right?" Daken said before nodding to Talon in acknowledgement of her presence.
"I was just on my way back in; though you can keep the women to yourself I'm getting too old for all of that." Logan grumbled making his son roll his eyes.
"Completely whipped." Daken chuckled as he shook his head.
"There's going to be a time when it happens to you too." Logan said knowingly making Daken snort.
"Especially now that he doesn't have revenge clouding his mind." Talon said with the same knowing tone.
"You sayin' I'm getting soft?" Daken asked incredulously making Talon's eyes narrow.
"I'm saying karma is a bitch." Talon corrected before smirking coldly. "Knowing you it'll probably be a love at first sight kind of thing."
"Please little sis, I'm over fifty years old and have been with a lot of women. Love, especially at first sight, is bullshit. Being with another person forever just means you're too lazy to hunt for a new mate and-"Daken suddenly stopped as his mouth hung open as he stared ahead with wide eyes.
-Daken's Point of View-
BGM: She will be loved-Maroon 5
"Daken?" My 'sibling' called out but I had no time to be worried about her. I was too focused on what-no-who I was looking at. There she was, the most breathtaking sight I have viewed since starting this journey, she seemed to move in slow motion as I laid my eyes upon the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She had long ebony hair that seemed to meld into the night sky. She was wearing a simple white dress and white heels, but that's not what got me.
Oh no
It was those sparkling emeralds that were in place on her face. Mortals would call them eyes, but I knew.
OH I knew
Those were a pair priceless gems that were set in place by GOD! I felt my hard beat quicken for some strange reason as she brushed a lock of her hair behind her ear before glancing up towards me.
"Oh no fucking way…" The flame brain began incredulously as I idly heard my father coughing frantically. I paid them no mind as I stared back into those gems and frowned slightly as I realized that the deeper I looked, more and more hidden sorrow could be seen. They say eyes are the windows to the soul, so why is this woman's soul nearly as black as mine?
"Unbelievable…" I heard that girl, Megan, mutter before I was knocked form my trance by my sibling grabbing the front of my shirt and releasing a glare that idly gave me flash backs from the time she was manipulated by Romulus.
BGM: END
-Daken's POV: END-
"You stay the hell away from my mother!" Talon growled out into Daken's ear making him turn to her incredulously.
"That…that…goddess is your mother? How the hell did you come from that!?" Daken asked in disbelief, it was then that both Logan and Johnny began to laugh their asses off at the absurdity of the situation. Johnny stopped laughing when Megan gave him a slight glare. After calming down, Logan tried to figure out what to do with this situation. Like any normal person, he didn't want his son to continue his violent life and eventually end up like himself so having Daken settle down would be ideal…
…But when the woman his biological son wanted was the mother of his clone daughter…let's just say he doubted there was a parenting book for that one. It was then that Logan decided he'd just let nature run its course. If he sided with Laura, he'd piss off Daken and vice versa. Daken and Laura were adults, this wasn't his problem.
"I'm going to get a beer." Logan announced and walked off back into the casino.
"Hey what's going on?" Chun-Li asked curiously as she and Spider-Man walked towards them.
"I'll tell you later." Spider-Man stated, and Talon could blatantly see his smirk from behind his mask.
"Now that we are here shall we go in?" Sarah questioned as she and Joan walked to them. Daken nodded his head and opened the door for her. "Thank you; I am Sarah Kinney by the way."
"Daken Akihiro." The feral said as he followed her. Hearing a low growl, Daken glanced back and his glare met Laura's.
This was war.
Speaking of War…
-Outside the Golden Nugget Casino: Same time –
"Peter, please be careful." A blonde woman with green eyes said for the fifth time.
"Will you relax Natasha?" Peter sighed. "We're going to bring down HYDRA tonight all you have to do is follow my plan. By the way, nice wig." The hero added making Natasha roll her eyes.
"Excuse me for being skeptical…your plans are highly unorthodox and seem to affect my sanity negatively. We're trying to sneak into a well-funded terrorist group's inner sanctum where they are building weapons of mass destruction with your technology."
"So I have been told." Peter said dryly.
"You told me one of your mal-functioning suits wiped out the entire planet." Natasha muttered with a slight eye twitch. "An actual weapon could take out the solar system if used wrong; these are your words by the way."
"Look, just act natural, and everything will be fine." Peter sighed. "I mean what's the worst that can happen."
-One hour later: ?-
We now find both Peter and Natasha strapped down to two tables as red lasers slowly cut in to the tables and began to slowly move upward, intent on cutting them in half. Peter said nothing, but he could feel Natasha's gaze.
"I want a divorce."
"Noted." Peter drawled with an eye roll. It was then that they looked up toward at the sound of a door opening. Natasha gritted her teeth as Madame Hydra walked into the room. (LIAG Helpful Info: Madame Hydra AKA Viper is the leader of the terrorist group HYDRA and former wife of Wolverine.)
"Isn't this a nice surprise? The CEO and the infamous Black Widow have both fallen into my clutches. Though I do believe that red hair suited you better, Mrs. Romanoff." The green haired woman said with a smirk as Natasha glared at her. "Why, may I ask, did you come this far just to find me?"
"Truthfully, I just wanted an autograph." Peter quipped making the evil woman smirk at him.
"Let's lee quick wit, rich, handsome, and insanely influential." Madame Hydra said as she walked towards him. "I can spare you, providing you work for my cause. Together we can make this world ours."
"You realize that once I get out of this, I am going to kill you right?" Black Widow questioned getting an amused look from Madame Hydra.
"As interesting as that would be to watch, those are pure vibranium cuffs, you aren't going anywhere soon." The woman stopped and glanced at the lasers. "Well besides Hell that is. You see even if you do miraculously escape, I have already triggered the first bomb."
"What? Where?" Natasha demanded with a glare.
"Here of course!" Madame Hydra smiled. "The explosion will level this entire nation, and when the world is reeling from its sudden destruction, HYDRA will make its move and begin taking down the rest of the countries, this world will be united under me! Everyone will hail HYDRA!"
"You're insane." Peter muttered in disbelief.
"Sanity is overrated. My jet is the only thing fast enough to escape this nation fast enough to be unharmed from the explosion. I'll ask you one time, and one time only. Join me, I'll show you real power."
"Don't be redi-"
"Deal."
"What!?" Natasha said as she blinked in shock and turned to her husband.
"Pfft. I'm not about to die if I can help it, do I look stupid?" Peter asked incredulously making Madame Hydra laugh coldly.
"You are a smart man, come let us leave. I am sorry but your companion obviously cannot come with us, too much of a liability I'm afraid."
"Beggers can't be choosers." Peter deadpanned as the lasers began getting too close for comfort. Grinning, Madame Hydra pulled out a small controller and deactivated his laser before allowing his cuffs to be opened. Now, seeing how the green haired woman was completely and utterly ignorant to the fact that Peter was Spider-Man the following moments were completely expected. "Though if we are going to be partners, I need to be completely honest about something."
"Oh and what's that-" Madame Hydra was completely cut off as Peter flipped to his feet and snatched the controller her hands with an amount of strength she could only dream of having before proceeding to back hand her through the door way.
"I'm Spider-Man bitch!" Peter shouted as his mask reformed over his face while he freed Natasha just as the laser began burning her dress.
"You've wanted to do that to someone for a while, haven't you?" Natasha said as she stood up.
"You know me too well." Spider-Man said before cementing his hands on to the floor and ripping a large hole in to it. Natasha frowned as she could hear Madame Hydra begin to run away.
"You left her conscious."
"I figured you'd want to deal with her personally. Now excuse me as I deactivate this bomb." Spidey said before leaping down the hole.
BGM: Skyfall-Adele
"It might be you, whom know me too well." Black Widow muttered with a small smile before she began to run after Madame Hydra. As she ran, Natasha kicked off her shoes and began to rip off her dress. Under her dress there was a black belt that had a red hour glass emblem on its buckle, which Natasha quickly pressed allowing what looked like her signature outfit to cover her body. The red-head gritted her teeth when she saw Madame Hydra enter her jet.
["Be careful not to over-exert yourself with this new suit. Your body is nowhere near as strong as mine so it is very easy for you to accidentally strain yourself."]
Natasha gritted her teeth when she remembered Peter's words as a large crimson Spider emblem suddenly lit up on the back of her costume. (LIAG Helpful info: Think of the Spider-Emblem that was on the back of Peter's costume in "The Amazing Spider-Man" movie.)
Natasha had suddenly closed the distance tremendously, and with a mighty leap she landed on the side of the black plane just as it took off. Crimson sparks leapt from the suit and cemented her on the plane.
-Inside the plane-
Madame Hydra looked up in surprise as a black clad fist ripped through her plane followed by a second. Before long the metal was ripped apart, and Natasha fell down in a crouch. Standing up, the assassin gave the green haired woman a cold glare as she ripped off the blonde wig and shook her hair free. Viper sneered at her as she slowly pulled out a dangerous looking knife as Natasha held her hand out in front of her. The green haired woman's eyes widen slightly when what looked like a holographic trench knife appeared in Natasha's palm before solidifying.
["Thanks to the Parker particles, I can make my dream of digi-struct technology a possibility though it's still in the experimental phase. Right now it still needs a lot of concentration to work effectively and this is why I chose you. Your mind is one of the few I know that can be so sharp under pressure. The more complex the creation, the sharper the mind needs to be."]
"How..?"
"Now that would be telling." Black widow murmured before lunging forward and stabbing her blade towards Viper whom barely managed to side step away before slashing down viciously at Natasha, whom parried it nearly effortlessly. The two women glared at each other before they began to slash at each other viciously, each barely missing each other. Every strike was aimed to kill. However, unfortunately for Natasha, Madame Hydra's skill with a blade was superior to hers and thanks to one slightly over extended slash, the green haired woman slipped under her guard and cut into her side before kicking the red haired woman away.
"Did you know that Hydras are extremely hard to kill? Better than you have tried I'm afraid, but that doesn't matter now. You will have time to ponder your mistake of challenging me in Hell, but first why don't you listen as a once powerful nation is wiped of the globe thanks to HYDRA's power?" Madame Hydra said coldly. "There is no way that that man can deactivate my bomb in time, Spider-Man or not."
A silence then…
…nothing.
"What!? Impossible! How could anyone deactivate a bomb that complex with no knowledge of how it works!?" Madame Hydra shouted as Natasha held her side and sat up with a smirk.
"Don't you know? My husband's Amazing." Black Widow stated as Madame Hydra was blinded with rage and lunged forward towards the red-head with her blade drawn prepared to end the assassin once and for all. Unfortunately for Madame Hydra, Natasha's skill with killing was far superior to hers and with a flash of light, a black sniper rifle appeared in Natasha's hand causing the terrorist leader to pause mid-step as she found the barrel resting on her forehead.
*Click!*
"Widow's Bite."
*BANG!*
Blood splattered on Natasha as Madame Hydra's now headless body, fell down limply. Natasha tiredly stood up and grimaced when she realized that the sniper bullet had continued on and killed the pilot. Natasha tried to reach the pilot's seat when the aircraft spun out of control sending her flying out of the hole she had created. Natasha closed her eyes as she fell, prepared to accept her fate.
"WEB-SWING!" A voice shouted and her eyes snapped open when she felt a strong arm wrap around her.
"What? How?" Natasha stopped when she noticed a golden web-line extending from Spider-Man's left wrist, connecting to the very sky itself.
"The Web of Life is everywhere; there is nowhere I can't swing!" Spider-Man stated as he held her. His mask peeled back and he gave her a bright smile. "Told you my plan would work, still want a divorce?" Natasha just stared at him with wide eyes for a moment before releasing a long sigh and capturing his lips with her own.
"Let's just go back to my hotel room and I'll give you my answer. I've had a long week and I just want to take a break."
"Alright we'll call room service and rent a dirty movie while we're at it." Peter chuckled before disappearing with her in his arm.
BGM: END
~Meanwhile: Rebuff's Hotel room~
"So the entire reason you give the contestants these 'breaks' is so that the individuals from this Capcom universe don't snap like Chun-Li did against Akuma?" Wanda said incredulously getting a nod from Rebuff.
"Yup, though it irritates me to no end knowing that a majority of them will be getting more action tonight than I have in the past few decades!" Rebuff shouted the last bit before collapsing on her couch and placing her face in her hands. She released a sigh and glanced back up at the picture of her and her bosses. "I need to get laid."
Wanda noticed that the woman she had come to know as a friend glanced at that picture she was so fond of when she said that and felt bad for her. Their time together had shown her that behind the insane façade was just a tired soldier participating in a war she knew she probably wouldn't win.
So she decided to help Rebuff out.
"If you want to get laid then use your damn brain." Wanda sighed. "Think woman, this 'boss' of yours practically raised you, hell you use a name that is derived from his own that he gave you. The reason he can't take a hint is because he probably thinks of you as a daughter." Wanda finally informed the woman what many of her co-workers were afraid to do.
…
…
…
"Son of a bitch." Rebuff finally spoke up as she stood up with a glare. "How the fuck didn't I see this before!?"
["Cause you're dumb as hell!"]
A voice shouted from the distance and Rebuff stomped over to her window and opened it up.
"Hey! Up yours Deadpool!"
*SLAM!*
"How many decades have I wasted because no one thought to tell me this?" Rebuff mumbled to herself after slamming the window closed. She was pissed but completely grateful to Wanda for this revelation. "I can't thank you enough for this one, I'll pay you back…I'll make you a herald!"
"I don't think it works like that." Wanda deadpanned.
"Then I'll find something else! Time to try a different approach." Rebuff muttered to herself as she left the hotel room.
"What the hell have I done?" Wanda wondered to herself before shrugging and stretching out on the couch to watch some television. She was seriously getting used to this 'imprisoned' life style.
-Meanwhile: DP's Casino-
"Don't you find it concerning that both your wife and Adriana get along so well?" Spider-Man questioned Hulk as they stood near the bar and stared at their respective Queens with looks of apprehension.
"Concerning is too weak of a word." Hulk said dryly as he looked at how Caiera and Adriana laughed as they conversed. Both women would often share an evil glint that made both Spider-Man and Hulk shudder. "Still, I will find a way to repay you for everything you have done for me, despite your protests."(LIAG Helpful Info: Caiera is Hulk's deceased wife, whom died in Sakaar's explosion when she was pregnant with his twin sons.)
"If I have told you once, I've told you a thousand times buddy don't worry about it. I didn't have Nemesis repair your planet so you would be indebted to me." Spider-Man sighed. (LIAG Helpful info: Remember the planet Spidey had Nemesis fix back in Act 4 part 3? There you go if you didn't figure it out yet.)
"That only makes me more inclined to repay it. You've given me and my children a second chance at life, how can you just do something like that and not want anything in return?" Hulk asked perplexed.
"I'm Spider-Man, it's what I do." Spidey shrugged and Hulk had to shake his head at the fact that he had never truly stood back and noticed how much of a genuine hero Spider-Man was. "Tell you what, keep your wife from going all 'World war Hulk II' on Earth and we'll call it even." Spider-Man said dryly making Hulk shudder slightly. When Spider-Man had taken him back to his repaired planet two things happened…
First Spider-Man saw Hulk cry.
Secondly after Hulk had explained what had transpired to his very confused wife, the big green Avenger found himself watching in awe at how enraged Caiera could become. Literally two days later, he had to return to earth to stop his wife from unleashing a full on invasion. She was intent on ending anyone minus Spider-Man and his kin. It had taken both him and Spider-Man four days to finally calm her down but that's a story for another day.
"You know if someone told me that I would be standing with you, watching our respective lovers bond over an intense hatred for humanity…I would have sent them to an asylum." Spider-Man muttered as he shook his head. "I'm glad to see you and Bruce are working in synch again, we might need that power that basically soloed everyone just in case, God forbid, there cycles synch up." Spider-Man stated making Hulk grimace. (LIAG Helpful Info: Hulk is strongest when both Bruce and Hulk are in agreement, their intense rage at the death of their loved ones had them in synch which is why World War Hulk was so devastatingly powerful.)
"Not even I am that strong." Hulk said knowingly. "It'll be up to you."
"Nope." Spider-Man denied. "She's the Spider-Queen my Great Weaver status is barely more than a title when facing her. She is weaker than some of my strongest opponents but she is able to get closer to defeating me than any of them can mainly because I can't see her future if she doesn't want me to and vice versa. That's that Parker luck for you."
"I would be glad to teach your daughter how to command forces but is it necessary? Your species is so young and so few in number." Caiera spoke making Adriana sigh.
"Normally I would agree but my mate and I have made sure to research our young. It's virtually impossible for the second generation and beyond to produce just a single offspring. Twins and in some cases triplets would not be out of the ordinary. Then when looking at my mate's track record with women lately we still have many more of the second generation coming." Adriana stated as she shook her head before taking a sip of her drink. "Then we still have the members of our species that are stuck on an intergalactic spaceship and should Alice ever reproduce…we project dozens upon dozens of offspring from her. It's why I keep her close most of the time."
"Dozens!?" Caiera repeated incredulously before cursing softly in some alien language. "Should she give birth you could potentially take over this entire planet when they come of age."
"I realize that and as tempting as it sounds she has grown a little too fond of me so I doubt it would happen, and I will not use her as breeding stock." Adriana said seriously. "Unfortunately I am only a first generation of my species I am not as perfect as the young ones, I can only produce offspring from another's egg."
"You said once that the first generation of your people was created by a myriad of accidents, while the power is great the side-effects were worse weren't they?" Caiera questioned making Adriana's eyes narrow slightly before releasing a sigh and placing a hand on her abdomen.
"The technology that gave me my powers was much older than the bio-engineering that gave my mate's his. The radiation that I and my fellow soldiers were exposed to damaged us greatly. They all died, I lost my sanity, my family, and my humanity thanks to those monkeys." Adriana said coldly as golden flames flickered n her eyes. "My mate has offered to heal me but I refuse for Elise is my only child and the next Queen, I have to concentrate solely on her and my injury shall serve as a reminder that humanity's reign coming to an end. It's simply progress and not even my mate can stop progress."
"Well if 'progress' ever needs a strong push to get it started you can count on Sakaar's help." Caiera said earnestly making Hulk sigh.
"Caiera, please stop trying to instigate wars to wipe out humanity." Hulk pleaded tiredly.
"Adriana, I'm telling you, you don't have to worry about our species we can settle this peacefully." Spider-Man said seriously making her laugh a bit.
"War is inevitable." Adriana spoke up with a nonchalant shrug. "Homo-Sapiens, Humonous-Noctourna, Atlanteans, Homo-Arachnida, Homo-Superior, The Artificial Intelligences are growing in number and hell even the feral mutants are beginning to rise… Seven major species are roaming this planet. Humans rule because they are many, but the others are stronger and growing in number…just how long do you think it will be before humanity's fear of the unknown spark a conflict?"
"Not long." Spider-Man admitted surprising all of them but his mate. "That's why I have a contingency plan, a revolution will come but not through the bloodshed of humanity."
"I have a plan as well and mine involves removing the limb to save the body." Adriana said with a smile. "Tell you what let's have a wager then. " The Queen began as she took a sip of her drink. "My team is your eighth tier fight, you win we go with your plan, we win we go with mine."
"Fine, but you realize that my team's power completely eclipses yours right even if we cancel each other out for the most part." Spider-Man added making her smile.
"Remember darling, I am the Queen. I take over the Web should you fall. I see as much as you do and while you may be surprisingly gifted at the art of manipulation…I have been doing that for longer than your lifespan. With the correct amount of preparation, anyone can fall." Adriana warned him good-naturedly before walking past him and giving him a kiss on his cheek before turning back to an amused Caiera. "Seems I have to get prepared so I'll have to continue our chat later."
"We are still having lunch next week, correct?" Caiera questioned making then men sigh again at the unfortunate friendship that had formed.
"Of course." Adriana said with a smile as golden web-lines began to surround her. "I shall be at the web Spider-Man, oh and good luck surviving the Apocalypse tomorrow."
"Don't worry I plan on winning."
"I know you do, it's the only reason I'm not dragging you off with me." Adriana said with a smirk before vanishing as her evil laugh echoed in the room.
"What a nice woman." Caiera said with a smile, making the two men gape at her. Once they shook themselves from their stupor Hulk turned back to his friend.
"What did she mean by Apocalypse?"
"Don't worry about it, I have it under control. Word of advice, though, take Caiera and leave this planet tonight. Tomorrow is going to make the damage caused by Doc Ock and what happened to Sakaar combined look like a simple school yard fight." Spider-Man said with so much seriousness that Hulk didn't event attempt to question him.
He trusted Spider-Man's judgment.
But even more so he trusted Spider-Man's ability to protect those precious to him.
"Good luck."
"Thanks."
-Meanwhile: Las Vegas bay-
Peter could now be seen standing in his private yacht with Sue who was wearing a yellow sundress. Sue took in the sights and just gave a relaxed smile as she turned to Peter.
"This really is a nice night though I just hope May doesn't mind babysitting my children along with her siblings." Sue said as her smile was replaced with a small frown.
"I don't think you need to worry about her, she isn't doing it for free after all." Peter sighed making Sue raise an eyebrow.
"I thought she didn't accept money?"
"She doesn't but I agreed that I'd let her finally help Andy move on if she did this for me." Peter said seriously making Sue pause as she registered what he had implied.
"You mean you bribed your daughter into babysitting super powered children by agreeing to allow her to date?" Sue asked incredulously.
"Hey you'll understand perfectly when Valeria is a little older." Peter defended weakly. Hey, he may be the last one who should ever attempt to lecture people on relationships, and he may have only had May back in his life for a year but she was still his baby girl.
"When Valeria's older? Try now with Franklin." Sue said with dryly as she shook her head. "I may be getting older, but I'll be damned if I end up a grandmother before he can even get facial hair."
"Hey don't worry, Franklin is a smart kid."
"It's not him I'm concerned about." Sue deadpanned making Peter chuckle and wrap an arm around her.
"I know she can be a little…extreme-"
"I saw her drop kick a semi-truck to save a family of ducks. The driver had to be sent to the hospital." Sue deadpanned.
"…But Molly is a good girl. She is ranked seven at the academy for a reason." Peter finished making the blonde sigh and place her head on his shoulder. (Molly Hayes is a young member of the runaways. She's a mutant who's mental powers can increase her strength to that of class 100.)
"I know, but a mother can't help but worry." Sue said before gazing up in his eyes with a smirk. "Well I can't really blame you for that bribe all is fair in love and war."
"Love eh?" Peter asked making her cheeks redden slightly, causing him to chuckle before he caught her lips with his. "Glad to know the feeling's mutual." Peter said when he released her. Sue's eyes glistened before she threw her arms around him and shared a passionate kiss with him as the moon shone behind them and illuminated the water.
-Meanwhile in New York: Peter's apartment-
"Damn it, off of the ceiling!" May shouted as she leapt up to the ceiling and grabbed a giggling Ananase as a giggling Ben clung to her back. She held her darker skinned sibling under her left arm before firing a web-line at Valeria and snatching a large needle from her hand. "No experimenting on my little sister!"
"What?" Valeria said with mock innocence as a giggle Elise stood next to her. "We…were playing…"
"Yeah playing!" Elise repeated with a giggle.
"Oh really, then why does the needle say 'research later' on it." May asked dryly making Valeria glance away with a whistle causing her eye to twitch. May sighed before turning to look at the back of a nearby couch and frowning when she couldn't see any one from her position. "Hey! Keep it PG over there! Hands above the waist!" May bit out causing Molly to reappear followed shortly by a dazed and blushing Franklin. "What the hell is wrong with kids these days?" May questioned incredulously. Hell she still hadn't even had her first legitimate kiss yet.
Having a dad that could see your every move and a mother that could demolish mountains with a sword slash hadn't really helped either.
May released a long breath when she heard sirens in the distance.
"Psi-Lord, PP, go handle it but I swear to God if you two come back with hickies again…" May trailed off as one of her stingers slid out menacingly making them gulp. As powerful as the two younger teens were, there was still a reason May was ranked one. The two nodded as they quickly got up and ran out of the apartment. May sighed as she turned to the toddlers. "You two go wash up and go to bed."
"You cannot be serious." Valeria said with a deadpanned expression.
"Aww…but I don't wanna!" Elise pouted making May close her eyes and count down from ten. She normally wasn't so stressed but she had literally been chasing the spider-bros around the apartment, making sure both Franklin and Valeria kept their v-cards, and saving Elise from Valeria's experiments for five hours straight.
"Listen Elise." May began calmly. "In about three more years, you'll be even more of an adult than even me." May actually paused for a second as she found herself saddened that her cute little sister was literally growing up so fast. "But until then, I'm in charge and you need rest to be big and strong."
"Like momma?" Elise asked with wide red eyes.
"Even stronger." May corrected, making her gasp. "But you need sleep. Tell you what if you two wash up I'll let Valeria read you Anansi the Spider before you go to sleep."
"What!?" Valeria said aghast. "Are you daft woman? What sort of juvenile-"
"Yay!" Elise cheered as she turned to her new friend. "Let's go!"
"No!" Valeria shouted making Elise pause and look at her with large saddened ruby eyes. Valeria returned her sad look with a glare.
Elise stared a little longer.
Valeria glared a little harder.
Elise's lip quivered.
Valeria's glare weakened slightly.
May held back a snicker.
Elise's eyes glistened.
Valeria's glare shattered but she still held her lips in a firm line.
May almost choked on her laughter.
A tear threatened to spill.
Valeria's resolve vanished.
So did May's.
"Fine…" Valeria relented as she glared at the laughing May. "That look is completely unfair; I would have to be minus a soul to not fall victim. Now that I think about it, I have a few 'cute' years left in me maybe I can get her to teach me it. The possibilities of being able to use that with my intelligence are countless!"
"Yay!" Elise cheered as she blatantly picked Valeria up and ran out of the room. May calmed down and walked towards the nursery to put her brothers into their cribs. A few moments after she did that, she frowned slightly when she heard the doorbell ring.
"Now who could that be?" May wondered as she went to the door. She smiled when she opened it up to find Andy standing on the other side. "Hey, what's up?"
"Not much-came to see if you needed a hand." Andy asked making her stare at him with half-lidded eyes.
"You waited until I was basically done to lend a hand?" May asked skeptically. "I know for a fact you can hear me sneeze all the way from China so I doubt this was an accident."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Andy said with mock innocence. That was a blatant lie, they both new it. The last time Andy tried to help baby sit the 'Spider-bros.' it took him forever to cut the webbing from his hair.
May just continued to stare at him.
"…Okay you got me." Andy said as his shoulders slumped in defeat making her cross her arms. "Hey how about I make it up to you?" Andy quickly suggested making her raise an eyebrow at him skeptically.
"Oh this I have to see."
"Come on, follow me!" Andy said excitedly making her look at him in confusion as he ran out towards the balcony as she followed him curiously. "I wanna show you something."
BGM: Over the Love by Florence + The Machine (Great Gatsby Soundtrack)
"Oh? What do want to show me?" May asked curiously as he extended a hand towards her.
"New York." Andy answered truthfully making his friend snort.
"Did you forget who you're talking to? There isn't an alley or a homeless man's cardboard box that I don't know." May reminded him as she accepted his hand.
"Oh I know you've seen New York, but trust me you have not seen it like this." Andy stated with a small grin making her chuckle.
"Alright I suppose I could humor you." May said with a shrug. Andy simply smiled and wrapped and arm around her waist. "Moving pretty fast there aren't you tiger? I didn't even get a dinner." May piped up making him roll his eyes before flying up into the air. May shivered slightly when the cold night air hit her but Andy simply held her closer before blasting off at blinding speeds.
It was then that May began to get scared.
"You're going too high Andy! You need to stop!" May shouted as she felt her body getting colder.
"Do you trust me?" Andy asked so quietly that she barely heard him over the rushing air.
"You know I do!" May shouted as she held him so tightly that if he were a normal boy his back would have broken
"Then don't worry." Andy said calmly as he looked down at her terrified expression with a small smile. His now intensely shining green eyes met her green ones. May closed her eyes and whether it was due to her fear or to escape his stare was completely unknown to her. She shuddered as she felt something warm and soothing surround her body.
A moment passed.
May gasped in confusion as she felt her feet land on solid ground.
"What? I didn't feel him land…"
"Open your eyes." May heard Andy say calmly and when she did as he said, she found herself looking at her surrounding in morbid curiosity.
She was standing on the moon.
"What the hell…" May whispered in a stunned disbelief before looking down and noticing that her body had a faint greenish glow.
"So tell me, have you seen New York Like that before?" Andy asked with his eyes shining in amusement as he pointed towards the Earth.
"Andy…what is this? How am I not freezing to death and suffocating, and talking, right now?" May asked in confusion.
"The possibilities of Parker Particles are nearly endless. Letting someone else experience what I can was the last trick Chrissy had picked up before…her death." Andy said as he repressed a wince at the memory. "Recently I had a little help in figuring out how to do it on my own. "
"But why did you bring me here?" May asked in confusion.
"This is where Chrissy and I had our last date before we returned to earth so she could face that monster." Andy said with a frown. He refused to ever accept that the sociopath that destroyed New York and his ex were the same person. "I brought you here for a reason. Talon always told Chrissy that destruction was sometimes necessary for progress."
"I…I don't understand…" May admitted quietly as he turned to her and placed his hands on her shoulders before gazing intently into her eyes.
"This is where I thought I had my last happy memory, but lately I've come to realize that I've had many more wonderful memories…and they exist because of you." Andy began quietly. "I've mourned enough and it is time for me to move on. May you've stood by my side as a comrade when we took the Avengers down together, you've stayed by my side as a friend ever since, and I want you to continue to be my side…but as something more. Will you be my girlfriend May Parker?" Andy soon got his answer when he found himself embraced by the powerful red-head whom buried her head into the crook of his neck.
"Of course I will. But are you sure you're ready for this? Can you really give me your heart? I'm willing to wait until you've come to terms with what happened to Chrissy." May told him as she stepped back and stared at him seriously. If they were going to have a relationship, both sides were going to have to give it their all because at the end of the day May was still both a Parker and a Spider.
They were definitely going to have some hard times.
"Don't worry…" Andy began as he re captured her within his arms. "I'm all yours…" May smiled and hugged him back as he looked up into the darkness of space before giving a sad smile as the bright green ethereal form of Chrissy smiled at him and gave him a nod. "I'm all yours." Andy repeated before tilting May's head up and capturing her lips with his own.
The form of Chrissy grinned at the sight before erupting in multiple explosions of bright green particles that illuminated the vacuum of space almost like cosmic fireworks. May and Andy looked up in awe at the sight before watching as countless particles of light showered harmlessly over earth. May turned to Andy and widened her eyes when she saw tears cascading down his face.
"Andy, are you alright?" May asked concerned making him smile and turn towards her.
"Never better." And with that Andy kissed her again.
-With Peter and Sue-
Sue found herself on her back in Peter's yacht as Peter lay on top of her and kissed her passionately. She released a gasp and broke the kiss when she felt his right hand sliding up her thigh.
"P-Peter…" Sue whispered quietly making the man look at her concern.
"Sue, are you okay? We can stop if you're not ready-"Peter stopped when she placed a finger on his lips, silencing him easily. Her eyes widened when she noticed bright green lights falling from the sky and illuminating the handsome man's features.
"No, it's just finally sunk in that I'm with you…I've been given a second chance at love, it's a little overwhelming but make no mistake…" Sue trailed of and Peter's eyes widened slightly when he saw her smirk as the green lights were reflected in her clear blue eyes. "Tonight I'm yours." With that, she brought Peter in for another kiss as his hands continued their assent up her yellow dress.
BGM: END
-Meanwhile: With Laura-
The feral could now be seen sitting on the edge of DP's Casino's roof gazing up at the moon.
*Sniff*
BGM: Dark Paradise-Lana Del Ray
Laura sighed to herself as a scent she knew all too well entered her nose.
"You know the point of being in Las Vegas is to party extremely hard and lose all of your money right?" Spider-Man questioned as he stood behind her.
"I realize that, but I thought it would be best to come up here so I can stop trying to watch my brother attempt to get in my mother's pants." Laura said dryly.
"That sounds incredibly disturbing."
"It is." Laura said and Spider-Man was sure he saw her shudder slightly. Spider-Man silently walked next to her and sat down. He gently wrapped an arm around her and she leaned in to him and both team mates just silently watched the sky.
This was the thing about their relationship that not many understood.
Those who knew of their intimate connection would assume that they had an incredibly distant relationship when in fact it was the inverse that was correct. They didn't need to exchange words or gifts to show their love for each other…It was simply understood. Spider-Man and Talon could read each other like open books, something that hadn't changed even with the year apart.
This was also the main reason Logan hadn't caught on to their relationship yet.
Gestures that seemed completely innocent to others conveyed messages so intimate that if one were able to translate them they would be in awe at seeing two individuals so deeply infatuated with each other as the two members of Team Amazing.
Spider-Man's arm slid down to her side making her stiffen slightly before turning to look up at him with a soft gaze and a look of such extreme vulnerability that one would never see how anyone could assume that the feral was unbreakable by any definition of the word.
You scare me.
Spider-Man's mask peeled back, and Peter gave her a small reassuring smile before pressing his lips to her forehead.
I know.
Laura soon found herself gazing into Peter's eyes. Chocolate orbs mixed with vibrant violet before the feral averted her eyes down to the side.
You make me feel weak.
Peter kissed her neck and carefully led her down to her back.
I know.
Laura released a gasp before closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around his back.
I missed you.
Peter's eyes softened before he captured her lips with his own.
And I missed you.
Laura broke the kiss before she began to gently push him away.
I don't deserve you.
Peter's hand slid under her top making her bite her lip with a whimper.
Yes you do…and so much more.
The two lovers resumed the kiss and despite the lack of need to communicate their feelings, tears welled up in Talon's eyes as an emotion so powerful erupted through her being that she just had to say it out loud.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
-Later-
Laura and Peter were now lying back, both looking extremely exhausted as the roof had numerous cracks and slashes on it. Peter was simply in his pants and Laura had everything minus her hooded jacket on. Their clothes had looked like they were recently just tossed on as well.
"I still remember the first day I met you." Peter began suddenly as he lay on his side making Laura turn to face him in confusion. "At first I was incredibly confused by how such a young girl could be as much of a sociopath as Logan-Ow!" Peter rubbed his arm where Laura punched him and gave her a dry look. "Hey it gets better!"
"It better." Laura mumbled to herself, she had remembered their first meeting very clearly. She never knew such an annoying man could exist. "And look at me now." Laura thought dryly as she lay next to the very man that she tried to kill.
"I then wondered how such a young girl could attack with so much pain and anger behind each of her blows." Peter continued before a small grin appeared on his face. "Of course that day ended with me trying to figure out how that girl kicked my ass, the point is; never would I have that this would happen. I've watched you grow from a lost little girl that I later took under my wing into a woman that I find myself completely in love with. "Peter finished as he stood up and helped her to her feet.
"Peter…"
"Laura…when this tournament is over we will truly have a chance to live freely and try to change this world for the better and after everything we've been through I simply just can't see myself doing it without you by my side." Peter said honestly as he reached into his pocket. "Anyway I'm blabbering again like I always do so I'll just cut straight to the point. When this is over Laura…" Peter got down on one knee and presented a ring to her. "…Will you marry me?"
Now a year ago the younger Laura would have never grasped how significant this was but now that she had finally managed to finish her growth as an individual and caught up with her peers in her emotional growth her heart had nearly stopped when she heard his question. For the first time since the incident with MJ, Peter had taken a leap of faith and initiated the binding of himself to another.
"Of course I will." Laura said with a smile as Peter grinned and slid the ring on her other ring finger seeing as one was occupied by another ring.
"We've suffered enough Laura, I promise you, life will be much better when this tournament ends which is why I want to wait until that happens. It gives us something to fight for." Peter said seriously making her nod her head in agreement. Talon took a closer look at the ring and her eyes widened slightly when she inspected it. It was a golden ring that had a bright red ruby surrounded by a golden cross. Her heart leapt to her throat when she vaguely recalled where she had seen the ring before.
"Peter how…"
"The ring was Selene's but I guess you already figured that out." Peter said sheepishly. "It had been lying back at the place where she had first died so I thought you wouldn't mind having it back. Laura said nothing as she rushed into Peter's arms making him chuckle slightly as he rubbed her back.
"Thank you…"
"Anything for you." Peter said as he held her. Inwardly he realized he had probably just romanced all three parts of her soul at the same time but that wasn't really important at the moment. "Now go find Kiden so we can get ready for you know what tonight."
"I will." Laura said as she stepped back and picked up her coat. "Peter thank you for everything. I can never repay you."
"Just stay by my side Laura, that's all I ask."
"I will never leave it, not if I can help it." Laura said seriously making him grin as he knew she was speaking the truth.
BGM: END
-Meanwhile: Inside the club-
"Player has blackjack." Lady Deadpool said as she stood behind the black jack table dressed as a blackjack dealer.
"…And that's another 60 million for me!" Spider-Man chuckled as he brought in the pot making Tony groan.
"This is bullshit." Tony grumbled as he threw his cards down.
"Oh Tony…" Pepper sighed.
Spider-Man was about to reply when he suddenly got an alert. Opening his palm he watched as Robyn materialized on it.
"Hold on guys."
["Mr. Spider-man we have a problem!"] Robyn shouted with wide eyes confusing the hell out of Spider-Man.
"What's wrong Robyn?"
["We're losing money!"] Robyn shouted looking extremely concerned.
"Damn, knew I shouldn't have invested in Stark enterprises." Spider-Man said a little too loudly making Tony flip him off. "It's only a few million though, we'll live-"
["No it's not your stocks! We're losing billions we're being robbed!"] Robyn shouted making Spider-Man cough frantically.
"What the hell!? How!?" It was quite possibly the first time in a long time that Peter had found himself completely caught off guard. "Who in the world would be able to steal from…" Spider-Man stopped talking as a feeling of dread and realization overcame him. "Oh no…don't tell me…" Spider-Man's shoulders slumped as he heard whistle and cat calls coming from the entrance of the casino.
BGM: Yeah-Usher (Feat. Lil Jon& Ludacris)
Every single male head snapped to the entrance as if sharing a hive mind and gaped as non-other than the infamous Black Cat walked in to the Casino. Dante who was on his way towards Trish with two drinks turned to stare in awe, which made him slam face first into a support beam. Tony was practically drooling which prompted Pepper to slap him on the back of his head. Spider-Man sat in a stunned silence as he took in her costume.
Some thought her already overly impressive assets had gotten bigger.
Others thought that the skin tight costume had gotten smaller.
Spider-Man knew that both were true.
Lucky bastard-err back to the story…
"How the hell is she a parent?" Pepper wondered in astonishment.
"I wish she were my mom-Ow!" Tony shouted as he smacked again.
Spider-Man quickly noticed that in some impossible way she walked with a confidence that surpassed what she used to have when she wore the costume.
And speaking of the costume…
Instead of stopping just under her breasts, the zipper opening had continued downward and stopped just before her pelvis. On each of her sides there were three moderately sized rectangles that were cut out of the costume revealing much more skin. All in all Spider-Man knew that if this was the Black Cat that he had met when he was younger, she definitely would have succeeded in turning him to the dark side.
Not that he would ever admit it.
"Hello Spider, guess who's come out of retirement?" Black Cat purred and yep, Spidey still got that shiver he always did when he heard her voice. The master thief sat on his lap and brought his chin up with her right index finger. "Aren't you happy to see me? You look like you've lost something…billions of somethings."
"What the hell did you do?" Spider-Man found himself asking her with practiced ease. She gave a cute pout and leaned in towards his ear.
"Aww aren't you happy that your favorite pussy has come back to play?"
A silence.
"DAMN!" Deadpool's voice shouted form somewhere within the casino. "I need a cold shower."
"How do you think I feel!?" Spidey wondered incredulously.
"Pretty damn horny." Deadpool's voice answered.
'How-"
"I read the line above us."
And with that Spider-Man promptly ignored Deadpool.
"Guess the thief with class thing went down the toilet."
"No I just know that class doesn't get under your skin." Black Cat said Making Spider-Man tense. "I'm not psychic; you're just easy to read."
"I'm wearing a mask!" Spider-Man said incredulously. "Anyway what did you do with my money?"
"Now don't be upset, this can be very beneficial for both of us." Black Cat purred. "What we're going to do now is play a little game of Cat and Spider like we used to. The rules are simple you dial your powers down back to what they were before the tournament and try to catch me. If you can, your money will be returned...along with that of the various casino's I've stolen on my way to this one."
"And if I don't?" Spider-Man asked skeptically making her pout slightly, although she could always make the hero putty in her hands he was still impressively resistant, she had no idea how he kept his cool for as long as he does. What she didn't know was that behind his mask his eyes were closed as he tried to think of anything that would stop the blood from rushing south.
"Aww…is the Great Weaver scared that he's lost his edge? So dependent on his new powers that he probably can't stop a rusty thief." Black Cat mocked with a smirk. "It's okay dear, it comes with age."
A visible twitch then…
"Fine." Spider-Man muttered as he weakened the level of his connection to the web back to that of a basic Spider-sense. "I have my regular Spider-sense and I won't use Tantra energy. I'll only exert the physical effort that I would have had back before the tournament as well; will that work?"
"Perfect." Black Cat smiled. "Catch me if you can~" Spider-Man rolled his eyes from beneath his mask and went to grab her only for his hands too phase right through her. "Haha, you didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?" Black Cat asked as Spider-Man continued to wave his hand through her form in disbelief. "Did you forget who I am Spider?" Spider-Man gaped from beneath his mask as her image faded and looked up to see her leaning in the door way of the Casino's entrance.
"What the hell…"
"I'm the mother of Phantom." And with that Black Cat gave a mock bow and faded away though her mocking laughter echoes throughout the building.
"…Crap." Spider-Man muttered and was about to teleport after her when he realized he agreed not to use his powers. "Damn it!" Spider-Man muttered as he found himself running out of the building.
BGM: END
-Outside-
BGM: Glamorous- Fergie
Spider-Man ran out of the casino, his formal Spider-Man suit had turned back into the classic red and blue he figured it would be perfect given the situation.
"Wow I remember you being faster than that." A voice spoke up and he looked up to see Black Cat standing on the roof looking down at him. "What happened? Did you forget you couldn't use anything but your basic powers or something?" Black Cat mused before glancing back at the roof behind her. "It is totaled up here, what did you do have sex with Laura up here or something?"
"Just give up Cat and return the money!" Spider-Man shouted before leaping up and web-zipping to the roof.
"Now did that ever work before?" Black Cat questioned just before Spider-Man phased through her body and slammed into the roof. "The landing gets a two." Black Cat said with a wink as Spider-Man recovered and ran towards her only two trip when the ground cracked underneath him making him trip. "What happened? Did a Black Cat cross your path?" Black Cat wondered before back flipping off of the roof and disappearing into thin air.
"How did she recreate Phantom's tech!?" Spider-Man wondered in disbelief. "It's working just as well as his did if not better!"
"Surprised?" Black Cat called out from a nearby roof with a smile and a wave. "At this rate you'll never going to get this money back."
"Alright if that's the way you want it, we're going to settle this old school!" Spider-Man declared as he leapt after her. Black Cat grinned and broke out into a sprint. She teleported from roof top to roof top with Spider-Man hot on her heels as the Las Vegas lights illuminated the world around them. Black Cat smirked to herself before popping out her claws and spinning around just as Spider-Man landed…
…on a banana peel.
"Whoa!" Spider-Man yelped as he slipped just as Black Cat slashed down at him. His Spider-sense went off just in time to prevent him from being skewered. The two quickly found themselves trading blows. Spider-Man narrowly dodged each of her attacks as she bobbed and weaved around his. "What the hell? Her hand to hand was never bad but this is an entirely new level. If it weren't for my Way of the Spider, I'd be mincemeat." Spider-Man thought incredulously.
Suddenly Black Cat stepped back with her arms crossed in front of her before viciously ripping them apart with a roar which caused a black and purple aura to rip from her body and slam into Spider-Man, knocking him back slightly. Spider-Man looked down in wonder as he saw the aura fade into his body. Black Cat stretched her arms with a smile.
"What was that?" Spider-Man asked incredulously.
"New trick, I fired the entirety of my bad luck aura into you, which means that for the next half an hour your luck is my plaything." Black Cat answered making him pale. "Get ready cause your life is about to suck, anything you want to say before we get started."
"Two actually." Spider-Man began. "One, this does not count as landing a hit on me seeing as I am completely nerfed right now and two…fuck you."
"Later Spider." Black Cat said impishly before snapping her fingers, causing pigeons to come out of nowhere and attack our webbed crusader. Spider- Man stumbled as he fought them off and toppled off of the roof…
…and into the streets where he was hit by a tour bus.
"I wonder how mad he's going to be when he finally catches up to me." Black Cat mused to herself.
BGM: END
-Forty five minutes later: With Silver-
BGM Careless Whisper- George Michael
Silver Sablinova-Romanoff was sitting in the tub of her penthouse suite relaxing with a small smile a she read a novel. The room was lined with scented candles and everything just seemed right with the world…
*CRASH!*
*BOOM*
*SPLASH!*
…When a certain platinum blond thief crashed into her knocking her under the water and sending her book flying from her hands.
"Okay…I kind of deserved that one…" Black Cat muttered as she shakily stood up in the tub and looked through the whole in the wall and saw Spider-Man leaping into the penthouse through a broken window.
"Thanks to you I was attacked by old women, fan girls, lawyers, and some weird combination of the three!" Spider-Man shouted as half of his mask was ripped revealing a very dangerous twitch. Yes after thirty minutes of an exposure to a new breed of super Parker luck, Spider-Man quickly remembered his old survival skills and quickly caught Felecia even with her new abilities.
"You just threw the mother of your child through a building, that's gotta count as domestic abuse!" Black Cat shouted making Spider-Man cross his arms.
"We're both in costume so there is leeway in the code." Spider-Man deadpanned making Black Cat gape at him.
"What code!?"
"The unwritten code of vigilantism, sub-section nine paragraph three. If both members of the relationship were former enemies and are both in costume, one is allowed to defend themselves appropriately if the other member initiates an attack." Spider-Man said sagely.
"Bullshit." Black Cat deadpanned. Spider-Man was going to respond when he heard someone clear their throat.
! Spider-sense: Look around you fool!
Black Cat looked at Spider-Man in confusion when she noticed his visible eye widening in slight apprehension, turning around to where Spider-Man was staring. Black Cat found herself swallowing a lump in her throat when she saw none other than Silver standing behind her in the nude with her head bowed. The silver haired womans shoulders were trembling with barely suppressed rage and both Spider-Man and Black Cat found themselves analyzing the room.
Scented candles? Check.
George Michael in the background? Check.
Bubble bath? Check
Copy of Fifty Shades of Grey on the ground? Check.
"Oh Crap." Both Spider-Man and Black Cat whispered in morbid fascination as they realized that they had interrupted Silver in her…private time. Silver knelt down and pulled a plastic bag out of the water. Inside the bag was silver Desert Eagle which she promptly pulled out and held firmly in her right hand.
"N-Now silver…Let's not be hasty." Spider-Man began, although he knew he would never be successfully shot by that thing Felecia was dangerously close to the irate woman whom they interrupted during her…stress relief. "Put the gun down Silver…we can talk this out."
"H-hey now…I understand you might feel…annoyed…" Black Cat began as the other woman gritted her teeth and placed her finger on the trigger. "But if I may point out, the reason we're here…is because of you."
"What!?" Spider-Man asked completely dumbfounded as Silver continued to aim her gun at the thief. A moment later she released a long breath and lowered the weapon.
"Consider the 'game' we just had as an intervention Peter." Black Cat said as she turned to her lover. "You have a tendency to rely a little too heavily on newfound strength. It's okay to use your Great Weaver powers, hell you've been doing a great job with them just don't forget the strength you've already had should something happen to them."
"Where exactly is this coming from?" Spidey asked in confusion.
"We were exchanging stories the other day-don't look at me like that Felecia and I were team mates remember-and during that period when Octavius tried to fry the world you completely forgot your own strength." Silver said seriously.
"I heard you went full Batman; never go full Batman it's not you, that's why there's a Spider on your chest." Spider-Man was once again confused but his eye widened as he recalled what they were talking about.
~Flashback~
"Spider-Man! You said you had a way to deal with Cap?" Silver questioned as she shot at Hawkeye who dodged and fired his arrows at her.
"I did, but cap just knocked it out!" Spidey shouted as he punched at Captain, only for it to be blocked by his shield.
"So use another gadget!" Widow demanded as she flipped over one of Jessica's beams and unleashed a storm of bullets at Iron-Man.
"I'm out!
"What do you mean out!?" The red-head demanded.
"We've been at this for days, I used up everything!" Spidey said as he ducked under a swing from Thor's hammer.
"Fine, so all you got is superhuman strength, Speed, and Spidey powers! Damn shame they've never helped you out before." Silver said sarcastically as she leaped and caught Captain's neck in between her thighs.
~Flashback: End~
"If something happened to your powers we don't want you to freeze up like that again." Silver said seriously. "When people become as strong as you and seem nearly unmatchable, the reason they fall is usually because of their own faults. Even when you feel as though you have exhausted your every resource, don't stop fighting. Ever."
"Alright message received." Spider-Man said as he slumped his shoulders he felt slightly humbled that they had just went through this to teach him a life changing lesson. "I owe you an apology for throwing you through a building, Cat."
"Don't worry about it, throughout our entire relationship I think I probably deserved that at least once." Black Cat said with a smile as she rung the water from her hair. "Oh well, you caught me so you can use your powers again I'll have Robyn return the money."
"Perfect, nice new moves by the way where did you learn to fight like that?" Spider-Man asked curiously making the thief smirk as she pointed at Silver.
"I had a good teacher she's been helping me get back-no- in better shape for a while now." Black Cat explained making Spider-Man nod his head in understanding before turning to Silver sheepishly.
"Sorry about-err-interrupting your evening…" Spider-Man trailed off awkwardly. Hey a woman's alone time was just a sacred as a man's if not more so.
"Don't worry you'll be making it up to me, both of you." Silver shrugged making a chill go down their spines before she narrowed her eyes. "Strip." Silver said seriously making them pause and glance at each other.
"That's a good one; you had me going there for a second!" Spider-Man laughed as he returned his connection to the web back to its former level, which ironically made him pause. "Oh you we're serious."
"Wait what? Shouldn't you be worried about fixing the penthouse?" Black Cat questioned as she turned to her former team mate who simply aimed the gun back at her.
*Click*
"The bedroom and its lock work perfectly." Silver said as she tilted her head. "Down the hall to your left."
It was a very interesting night for Benjamin's parents, the details of said night would be something that his parents would do their absolute hardest to forget.
-Meanwhile: With Chun-Li-
Chun-Li could now be found sitting at DP's bar with Crimson Viper, both women we're sitting in a comfortable silence as they sipped their drinks.
"I can never repay you for what you've done." Viper said suddenly as she looked down at the liquid in her glass. "I was beginning to doubt I would ever see my little girl again."
"It was nothing Viper, besides I managed to get a good fight out of it." Chun-Li chuckled.
"I thought I told you to call me Maya now." The red-head stated making Chun-Li turn to her with a smile.
"But Viper sounds cooler." Chun-Li pointed out making her former rival shake her head.
"Just how much have you drunk so far?" Viper asked in concern as the Chinese woman downed another glass.
"There is still only one of you, so not enough." Chun-Li muttered as she ordered another glass. "In a few days there is a good chance that I am going to die. My funeral will not be open casket either, just preparing myself."
"A few days…oh you're talking about your fight with Juri right? Why will you die? You're blatantly more powerful than her if my daughter's story is true." Viper said with frown, confused as to why Chun-Li thought she would die.
"You have a pen?" Chun-Li asked suddenly confusing the redhead who just nodded and handed her one. Chun-Li scribble something down and presented the napkin to Viper. "When you look at this, what do you see?"
"It's a Yin Yang symbol." Viper answered making Chun-Li nod.
"Exactly, the perfect representation of balance." Chun-Li said with a surprising amount of seriousness. "This is also the very concept of Chi itself. Now tell me, how many parts do you see?"
"Two, yin and yang."
"Good but wrong." Chun-Li said as if she were a teacher. "There are four parts. The circle itself and the center line created by the boundaries of yin and yang have a name as well. They are Wuji and Taiji, respectively."
"Wuji and Taiji?" Viper asked in confusion.
"Correct. Every fighter on our planet has both Yin and Yang, but their balance is screwed up. Some have more light than darkness and vice versa. It's only when you achieve a balance of those two that the doors to Wuji and Taiji awaken." Chun-Li explained to the woman who seemed to understand what she was saying.
"But what are they?" Viper asked making Chun-Li point to the outside of the circle.
"The circle, Wuji, is power itself no extremities, no boundaries, no limit. Think of it as the raw energy that chi is refined from. This is what I've been training with for the past year, you see once you achieve balance you can only use either Wuji or Taiji the body simply cannot house all four aspects." Chun-Li said before moving to the center line. "Now we have Taiji, this is what I can only assume that Juri has been training with."
"And Taiji is…?"
"The power through opposition, the pivotal force that turns Yin and Yang into Wuji or refines Wuji back into yin and yang. It's called the mother of yin and yang when it moves it dives, when it rests it reunites." Chun-Li stated shocking the woman. "The amount of pure and raw talent needed to even attempt to harness it is mind boggling."
"So how did Juri figure it out?"
"You need to realize that underneath her sociopathic tendencies, Juri is a prodigy like no other. My body always held more power than hers but the pure amount of skill she possessed is overwhelming. Her eye makes her powerful that is true but remember it is her skill that allows her to use it….the most frightening thing is though…at the end of the day…" Chun-Li trailed off with a glare and Viper noticed with no small amount of concern that the woman's glass began to crack."
"At the end of the day what?"
"…We're both that same scared little girl aren't we?" A voice spoke up and Viper turned to see a smirking Juri as Chun-Li's glass shattered. "We both lost our parents to the same organization, hell I lost my eye as well. We both were sent down our respective paths driven by revenge, the only main difference between us is the circumstances isn't that right?" Juri taunted. "It burn's you to know that given the right circumstances you could have ended up just….like…me." Juri revealed making Viper shudder slightly at the thought of Chun-Li being anything like the sociopath in front of her.
"Chun-Li…?" Viper asked when the woman didn't say anything.
"But that's not all, it's the fact that I'm closer to exacting my revenge than her that really irritates her isn't it? People assume it's because something as petty as honor and hatred towards criminals that fuels your hatred to me and you don't correct them. The reason you hate me is because you know that between the two of us I will be the one that kills Bison first because unlike you I'm not restrained by law." Juri then barked out a cold laugh. "Our fight will determine which one of us has picked the right path in life."
"Shut. Up." Chun-Li muttered coldly as the bar counter cracked slightly.
"You know the only way to beat me is to kill me, and once you do that you have one less obstacle in your way and Bison's life can be yours. Best of all no one will even question my death. I kill you then at least you won't have to live to see someone else take your purpose in life, pretty sadistic mind you got there China girl. How does it feel to know that underneath our skin exists the exact same monster-"
*BOOOOM*
Viper was blown of her seat by a sudden explosion of force and when she looked up her eyes widened when she saw that Chun-Li had released a high kick towards Juri's head that was parried by the Korean woman's own leg.
"Such force…and I didn't even see them move." Viper thought incredulously. The casino was silent as everyone stared at the two fighters, all wondering if the fight between them would start earlier than expected.
"Aww I love you too China-girl, how did you know I liked it rough? Though with your Interpol connections and that school girl crush you seem to have on me, there is probably not much you don't know."
"School girl crush?" Chun-Li repeated quietly before revealing her own smirk. "Do you always project your feelings onto other people?" Chun-Li wondered making Juri's smile widen.
A silence.
Then…
"Limbo!" A voice shouted and both women blinked in confusion as they saw Spider-Man leaning back as he walked under their raised legs as if he we're playing limbo. Spider-Man paused before completing his trip and turned his head to look under Chun-Li's china dress. "Black lace Chun-Li? Huh, when you think you know a person…" Spider-Man muttered making her gape at him as he turned a confused Juri. "And seeing how that suit of yours leaves so little to the imagination, I guess you're going commando. You really are the extreme one."
"Can this guy really not read the atmosphere?" Viper thought incredulously as she tried to figure out just how someone so dense could have as much female attention as he did.
"So…who wants ice cream?"
-20 minutes later-
We now find Spider-Man, Chun-Li, and Juri sitting on a bench eating ice scream much to the women's shock as they attempted to figure out just how the hell they ended up in the situation. Spider-Man had a chocolate and vanilla swirl while Chun-Li and Juri opted to have just chocolate and vanilla respectively.
"[What the hell?]" Both fighters thought incredulously. Never in their wildest imaginations did they ever think they would find themselves sitting on a bench together eating ice cream.
But hey it was free ice cream.
"Just exactly what's going on here?" Chun-Li finally asked much to Juri's relief.
"You want the honest truth?" Spider-Man questioned both of them.
"That would help." Juri said as she quirked an eyebrow.
"Alright you asked for it." Spider-Man shrugged. "I've had a childhood crush on Chun-Li since the arcade Street Fighter and was inwardly psyched to meet her in real life. We grew as team and found out later that we had a descendant, after that you could cut the sexual tension with a knife which didn't help after she revealed her undying love for me when I almost died. Let it be known that we still haven't talked about that yet. After that we split up for about a year, she's seen me naked and sneaks glances at me when she thinks I don't notice, but come on, I'm Spider-Man."
"Rewind a bit back to where I was a woman named Ero…" Spider-Man continued without missing a beat. "I also had a major crush on Juri, cause come on its Juri, and when I found myself in a team with her we grew as sparring partners though since I had a yearlong life span, those moments were much more precious to me and I found myself falling in love with her-I also fell for Adriana which is why we have a kid running around. Let it be known that before I died as Ero I could feel every one of my bonds as if I were them and could tell that Juri returned my unspoken feelings. Now that I'm once again whole and in a male body, I fear my chastity when around her."
"Now move on to you two, despite what many people see you two are incredibly similar, hell I remember people complaining about how similar your fighting styles were in Street Fighter Four but that's a story for another day. You two have both been at each other's throats for a while now and have some sort of twisted obsession with each other; Juri's earlier rant explained that one. Now add on to the fact that Juri is insane for lack of a better word and very open about emotions since hers only seem to be lust, rage, and glee; her taunts with overly lesbian overtones towards you brings a lot to the question about just how complex the relationship between you two is."
"By the way don't ever Google yourselves because there is a lot of porn with you on the internet. And that's what's going on so far." Spider-Man finished as both women looked at him in complete disbelief. "…What?"
"T-that wasn't what we meant…"Chun-Li stuttered out awkwardly.
"Oh."
"Yeah oh." Juri deadpanned. "We were talking about the ice cream."
"Uhh…hello? Buy one; get two free, who the hell does that anymore? This was a once in a life time deal!" Spider-Man explained as he licked ice cream cone.
"You're a billionaire." Chun-Li deadpanned.
"I didn't get that way by spending money; always appreciate a good deal Chun-Li." Spider-Man chastised as both women found themselves rubbing their temples. They sat in an awkward silence-well awkward for the women-for a while. You know you're a legend when you can make Juri feel awkward.
Spidey put that in his feats book.
The earlier rant repeated itself within their minds for a moment before, as one, both of their heads snapped up.
"Wait, there's porn of us?" Chun-Li questioned incredulously as she began to curse the planet she found herself on once again.
"Oh this I have to see." Juri laughed as she pulled out the phone Adriana had given her and did a quick search. Chun-Li watched in morbid fascination as Juri's smirk completely disappeared as her mouth opened slightly. Juri simply sat her phone on the ground and shattered it underneath her heel. "That's enough internet for the day." Once again they sat in silence as they finished their ice cream, and finally Spider-Man got a little irritated.
"Okay I give up, is it some kind unspoken rule in your dimension to ignore the elephant in the room?" Spider-Man asked exasperated. "I love you and you both love me. There it's out in the open now, so what now?"
"Now…nothing." Juri said as she stood up making Chun-Li nod as well. "It doesn't change anything, when we fight one of us will die. If you can still have feelings for us after that, we can go on from there."
"She's right Spider-Man." Chun-Li said seriously. "It's too late; there is no changing what's going to happen. Spider-Man if you truly love us then until our fight is over, stay out of the way."
Spider-Man was silent for a moment before sighing.
"Fine, it's not my problem and I'm not wanted or needed. I just hope you two take a good long look at yourselves before you do something you regret." Spider-Man said seriously, Chun-Li was going to respond but her leader had already vanished.
-Web of Life-
Spider-Man appeared in the web and saw the three Madame Webs and Adriana frowning.
"They keep changing." Jessica muttered.
"It's either Juri or Chun-Li." Julia continued.
"One will live while the other dies. There is no outcome where they both survive." Mayday said with a visible scowl.
"So which one will you decide to let live? As much as Juri amuses me it's only our fight that matters in the long run." Adriana shrugged. "Chun-Li? If you do beat me it would be best that she survives."
"No we leave it alone." Spider-Man muttered confusing them. "Just like how we cannot see the future of our fight, we leave their fight in their hands. What happens, happens."
"That's cold."
"That's life." Spider-Man corrected Mayday. "I have the power to write history as I want to, but I have to be responsible enough to not interfere with man's free will."
"Well then, our fight just got much more interesting." Adriana said with a small smirk.
-One hour later: Deadpool's private office-
In Deadpool's own personal office on the top floor of his casino, we can now find a scowling Mary Jane and Deadpool standing in front of a large table. On the table appeared to be the remains of a human skeleton; parts of the bones had weathered away to nothing but mere dust. The skeleton was wrapped in black clothing and armor that had been destroyed by time.
"You told me you had relics of the Hyborian age, all I see is one of your possible victims. Please explain to me why I am looking at a corpse."
"Sure but first humor me and explain to the viewers why you are looking for Hyborian relics." Deadpool said making MJ roll her eyes before giving him a harsh glare.
"Ever since that battle with Mephisto, there has been an imbalance in the Witchblade…the darkness within it has slowly begun corrupt me and I fear I will soon lose myself to it. Every night I hear its dark whispers and feel myself slipping deeper into a void." MJ explained as she looked at the gauntlet on her hand, its red crystal seemed to glow with ill-intent. "Peter has told me that this relic originated from outside this universe but somehow Sonja had come in contact with it. Perhaps the answers to how to fix this thing lie in the past."
"Well sorry to break it to you but the Witchblade isn't connected to Sonja's time at all." Deadpool said with a shrug.
"Then maybe a way to remove this thing is in the past, there has to be something!" MJ said tersely. "How the hell does an entire age of civilization just disappear? There is a giant void in humanity's history and nobody seems to give a damn, others believe that Sonja's time is legend but that's a lie…I shared my body with Sonja. Her weapons are the only relics that exist of that time, and not even her Hyrkanian sword can overpower this darkness, and it killed dark angels."
"What about the red spear of awesomeness?"
"It's a weapon of sorrow and despair; it'll just make things worse." MJ said with a sigh.
"So if Sonja's blade doesn't work why even attempt?"
"Because her time was filled with powerful magic and artifacts, maybe there is something that can even overpower the Witchblade." MJ explained making the merc nod.
"Well…I didn't find anything that could help you, but I think this corpse might blow your damned mind." Deadpool said with barely contained glee. "As a Red Sonja fanboy -er- I mean scholar, I know a ton about the Hyborian Age."
"You? A scholar about something a majority of the world doesn't even know exists?" MJ asked skeptically. "Alright, I'll humor you, just what is so important about this damn body?"
"Alright check this shit out!" Deadpool said with a visible grin. "This isn't just a regular corpse; no this is a female corpse!"
"And that's special why…?"
"Because this corpse belonged to someone from the Hyborian age." Deadpool revealed making her look at him in shock.
"What!? Even Sonja's body is gone Peter couldn't even find it. How the hell did you find human remains from that time period?"
"Craigslist." Deadpool deadpanned. "But anyway this isn't any regular civilian either! The woman you're looking at right now is quite possibly one of Sonja's most devastating adversaries." Deadpool revealed making the red-head look at him in shock. "Sit down, uncle Deadpool's got a story to tell you."
"You better be telling me the truth." MJ muttered as she sat down in a nearby chair.
"Once upon a time there were two powerful swordswomen that were captured and held as slaves. Together they were forced to kill countless fellow slaves for the amusement of others. One night Sonja-yes Sonja was obviously going to be one of them-asked what her friend, whom she felt was a sister, would do when it came time for them to fight. The other slave said that she would rather be killed than raise her blade to Sonja. Eventually Sonja and her friend escaped and went their separate ways."
"But there is more to this story isn't there?"
"Oh yes." Deadpool answered with a nod. "The other slave was always haunted by those she killed and could see their souls follow her. Time passed and she became one sadistic bitch and when she crossed paths with Sonja again she had no problems with raising a sword...or an axe….or the fucking plague itself."
"Wait this woman gave Sonja the plague?" MJ asked incredulously. "I thought they were like sisters?"
"Shit happens." Deadpool shrugged. "I mean do you have any idea whatsoever about what you're going to do when you meet Gwen again? You two were also like sisters but the last thing she remembers is getting murdered and waking up to find out you had married her boyfriend, even if you're split now that's gotta suck. Anyway we're getting off topic; the point is that this corpse is none other than Dark Annisia. A woman just as deadly as Sonja with fewer morals, if Sonja was killed before her age ended this probably would have been the one who did it." (LIAG Helpful Info: Dark Annisia is real.)
"Okay so you have the body of anti-Sonja on your desk, I'll admit that it is interest but why does this matter to me? She's dead." MJ asked curiously.
"Oh nothing just that her weapon is missing, it's been awhile since the last Armageddon, and history has a funny habit of repeating itself in the weirdest ways but what's the worst that could happen?" Deadpool wondered out loud. MJ shuddered as his words registered. "By the way how's Gwen doing did Webs ever give her that lesson about talking to strange weapons?"
"Oh shit-"
-New York: Manhattan: With Gwen-
BGM: Come back to me-Utada Hikaru
Gwen walked down the streets of Manhattan aimlessly with a black umbrella in her right hand with a bag full of just bought clothes in her left.
"He lied to me, all this time, even while knowing about my feelings towards Spider-Man. He married one of my best friends…yet I can't hate him. It's not like I am a saint either." Gwen thought as she looked up a large poster that had all four members of Team Amazing and the words 'They're back!' in large capital letters. "His lies protected me, mine…" She froze as an image of the Green Goblin flashed through her mind.
*Splash*
Both her umbrella and her back fell as she held herself and shook while tears flowed down her eyes. She felt both disgusted with herself and terrified for whatever the future might bring.
"Even my father knew about him and told him to protect me. He's offering a chance to forgive, forget, and move forward…but can we really just go back to the way things were? No it's impossible, he's moved on but I…there is no way for me to continue-"
BGM: END
"Well, well what do we have here?" Gwen froze as she turned around and found a group of four large men smirking at her. She mentally cursed as she realized she had walked into an alley. "Hey boys, looks like she's lost maybe we should take her back to our place." One of the men suggested making two of the laugh while one looked uncomfortable.
"I don't know what if Talon catches wind of this? Or the North Side Nyx you know they don't tolerate this kind of thing!"
"He don't worry, as long as we make sure she never speaks of this, we'll be ok." The leader of the group said making the blonde step back in fear.
"Damn! How am I supposed to get out of this one-"
Weakling.
*FLASH*
Gwen closed her eyes a bright light flashed in front of her. Blinking her eyes rapidly she looked forward to see an old one-handed battle axe stabbed into the ground before her. Looking up she noticed that the men had frozen in time.
Are you honestly going to just whimper and wait to be saved by that man you love again? Do you want the power to reclaim your life? Get back everything you've lost and so much more? You're weak but the darkness you tried to hide so much in your heart is strong.
"W-what are you?" Gwen asked with wide eyes.
Your salvation. Pick me up and you will never feel loss again.
Against Gwen's better judgment she felt her hand begin to reach out towards the blade but she was still hesitant.
Why are you afraid? Are you really so weak that you cannot take back what is yours?
Gwen's hand tightly grasped the handle of the weapon and with a small grunt she freed it from its earthly prison. Her vision suddenly went black as she felt a sudden sensation of wholeness. Time resumed and the men looked forward to see that someone had taken the place of their would-be victim. The woman before them was a few inches taller and had tanner skin. Her blue eyes were like ice and made chills run down their spins.
Her hair was now a bunch of platinum blonde dread-locks that were tied into a simple pony tail that went down her back. She was wearing a black leather vest with matching pants, shoes, and arm guards and on her shoulders were two metal guards.
Dark Annisia rose again.
-Five minutes later-
Annisia knelt next to one of the four corpses that surrounded her and placed her right index finger into a growing pool of blood. Using the finger she began re do her old war paint. First she drew a horizontal line from under her left eye to under her right eye. Next she made a vertical line down the center of her forehead and finished with two short diagonal lines above each of her eyebrows.
"Oh you'll do perfectly."A cold voice spoke up and Annisia turned around to find a black garbed figure. Idly she noted that the bodies that surrounded her began to turn into dust. Taking a closer look at the figure she realized that it appeared to be a skeleton underneath the dark fabric…
…a female one actually given its rather impressive bust.
"And you are?" Annisia asked cautiously as she tightened her grip on her axe.
"The thing you know most."
-Meanwhile: Outside Carol's hotel room-
*Knock*
*Knock*
"Hey Carol it's me, ready for our date?" Spider-Man called out only to get a silence "Carol?' Spider-Man questioned before frowning as what sounded like whimpering came from the other side of the door. Spider-Man's concern could be seen from underneath his mask. Golden web-lines surrounded Spider-Man and when they disappeared he was inside the hotel room. "Carol, are you alright?" Spider-Man asked as looked around for his girlfriend.
Surveying the room he frowned when he noticed that the red dress she was going to wear for their date was still on her bed. His head snapped to the bathroom when he heard more crying. Walking to the bathroom door he knocked on it.
"Carol?"
["G-go away."] Carol's muffled voice came from the door.
"What's wrong Carol? Come on speak to me." Spider-Man said as he placed a hand on the door. "You know I'm not going to leave you here in tears. What's the matter?"
-With Carol-
Carol who had been sitting down on the floor in her bathroom leaned back against the door as tears fell down her face.
"What's wrong?" Carol repeated bed placing her face in her hands. "Everything! That's what!" Carol shouted as she broke down into more sobs. "Peter…I'm late, really late."
["What? What do you mean you're late? Late for what-oh…oh my God, Carol…"] Spider-Man's voice was laced with shock. Many assume that because he's the Great Weaver he knows everything and anything when the truth is he only knows what he wants to know. He doesn't make it a habit to spy on his loved ones futures if they aren't in danger so he ends up being caught off-guard by many situations.
-With Spider-Man-
Spider-Man's masked peeled back as he leaned back against the door and slowly slid down. His vision darkened but he quickly shook his head frantically in order to stay conscious.
He's had practice.
Peter let the information sink in before a smile graced his lips.
"Carol, that's wonderful news." Peter said before frowning as he pictured how she must have been feeling at the moment. Golden flames replaced his eyes as he sought out the perfect way to have the conversation.
Men and even some women across the globe had a sudden urge to curse the web-slinging super hero.
"Listen Carol I will never understand completely what you've been through, even the Octavius incident wouldn't help me gain much insight to how you feel." Peter began carefully. He had to be cautious too many of the outcomes ended with Carol going on a rampage. "What happened to you was terrible, but you have to leave that behind you. It's over, you're safe, and you're here with me."
A silence.
"Please Carol…don't let the sins of the past prevent you from a brighter future." Peter pleaded. "You're a strong woman…in every definition of the word. I know for a fact that you will be a great mother but you can only do that if you get over what happened to you."
…
…
["…will I really be a great mother? You're not lying to me are you?"]
Peter smiled while the golden energy in his eyes flickered gently. Peter stared up at the ceiling before closing his eyes with a chuckle. Small amounts of golden energy escaped from under his eyes as he took in a vision.
"No. You will be the perfect mother for our little girl." Peter said making her gasp slightly.
["G-girl?"]
"That's right and she looks just like you blonde hair, blue eyes, and I wish you could see the absolute joy in her face when she first learns to fly or the pride in yours when you watch her, but you'll just have to wait a few years." Peter began as he heard Carol cry harder, but this time he could most feel the smile that he knew was on her face. "She's a hell of a tomboy as well; I'm starting wonder if this is really my kid or a clone." Peter said making Carol laugh weakly. "It also looks like she has a favorite pass time in tormenting her older brothers."
In New York, Ben and Ananase woke up crying when they felt a sudden chill, much to May's dismay.
*Click*
"That's enough Peter…thank you?" Carol said as she opened the door and smiled down at him. Her eyes were still red as she wiped. "God I must look like a mess, there's no way we can go out now."
"Ha! Are you kidding me?" Peter grinned as he flipped to his feet. "The night is still young; you'll be amazed at what I can pull off!"
"Peter we missed our reservations, what are we going to now?" Carol asked making Peter smirked as he picked her up and twirled her around. When he set her down she found herself in her dress.
"What-"
"I can strip you too if I go the other direction." Peter chuckled making her glare at him half-heartedly. "Both of us can be at multi places anywhere at the same time. The world is our playground. Where do you want to go, Paris?"
-Paris-
Carol looked around and shook her head in disbelief as she found herself on the Eiffel tower with Peter.
"Or maybe Italy would work for you." Peter said again.
-Italy-
Peter and Carol were now sitting at a dinner table…that was on the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa, much to Carol's disbelief. Looking down Carol's eyes seemed to shine with childish glee as she saw one of the largest and most delicious looking Pizza's she had ever seen. (LIAG Helpful Info: Carol had a weakness for junk food, and no matter how much she eats her body stays in shape.)
A few moments passed as they enjoyed each other's company. Carol had eaten most of the pizza, but Peter had barely managed grab three slices much to Carol's embarrassment. Peter just waved it off with a laugh.
"Tell me Peter just how much do you see? How do you not go insane?" Carol just had to ask making Peter hum in thought for a moment.
"I guess it's because I have a goal."
"A goal?" Carol repeated in confusion.
"What I do is find the ending I desire, and create the path to achieve it." Peter began with a smile as he stood up and guided Carol out of her seat. "Dance with me, I'm leading this time though." Peter added making Carol roll her eyes. "To continue though, there was one ending that is so hidden away that I barely managed to get a glimpse of it before the web hid it away. Luckily that glimpse was all I needed; it is the outcome that I would do anything to achieve."
BGM: When you believe- Mariah Carey
"Just what happens in this ending?" Carol asked in confusion as she and Peter began to rock back and forth as they began their dance.
"It's our happily ever after." Peter answered quietly as he held her closer while images flashed through his mind.
*Flash*
One where my children can live together in happily.
A much older May could now be seen in the Emoran courtyard sparring with a younger red-head whom appeared to be around ten, as their mother looked on with a smile and an approving nod as the ten year old regained her footing and continued to release a barrage of powerful blows with her wooden sword. All of which were expertly dodged by May.
*Flash*
Yes they will get on each other's nerves from time to time.
A boy whom appeared to be around thirteen with platinum blonde hair and a white mask was running across the roof tops of New York with a bag of jewels as a slightly younger blonde dressed in red, Blue, and gold flew after him while releasing multiple cosmic blasts. The boy leapt off of a building and spun around in mid-air so he could give the blonde a thumbs up before fading away into thin air. The blonde shouted angrily as his laughter echoed thought out the night.
*Flash*
But they will always have each other's back.
A young boy of about ten years old with black hair, grayish skin, and red eyes frowned as he found himself surrounded by members of the Friends of Humanity. He smirked when he heard someone land behind him and glanced back to see his younger twin whom had black hair and blue eyes crouching behind him. Stingers ripped from the younger boys wrists as Claws grew from the older boy's finger tips.
As one they leapt at their attackers.
Hidden in the shadows, Talon could be seen smiling as she watched her sons.
*Flash*
They will take after their mother's
Three identical young girls could be seen looking down with tears in their blue eyes as they found themselves being scolded by an irate Kiden for coming home hours past their curfew as Talon looked on at them with a frown of her own. All three of the girls looked the same except they had their hair dyed different colors red, blonde, and blue. When Kiden finally finished, tears could be seen in the older mutant's eyes and all three girls rushed to give their mother a hug making Talon smile to herself.
…Some a little too much
An adult Elise looked down impassively from her throne as a man who attempted to assassinate Adriana found himself being devoured by spiders.
But they're still good kids.
Elise stood up and walked to her mother whom was glaring at the man and gave her a tight hug as tears slid down her face.
*FLASH*
Don't get me wrong there will be some rivalries…
A young red-haired boy with green eyes, wearing a black combat suit could be seen running through as forest. He gritted his teeth as he pulled out two guns and shot down two silver shuriken as a silver haired girl of the same age suddenly appeared on a nearby tree branch, she was wearing a silver combat suit that had a hood. Dropping his guns, The boy slowly pulled out his hunting knife and mouthed the words 'first blood' making her smirk and pull her own blade out before they charged at each other.
*Flash*
Some fights might be even taken too far…
A teenager with black hair and purple eyes, held her stomach in pain as she coughed up blood as a brown haired girl of the same age looked on impassively. They were wearing white and black fighting Gis respectively.
But they do care for each other.
When it registered that the black haired girl was in serious pain, the brown haired teen's eyes grew wide with panic as she frantically picked her sister up and ran off to find help.
Some of their strength will make even gods tremble.
Gaea could be seen standing next to a brown haired woman with bright blue eyes that was sitting on a large throne on Olympus as many other gods bowed to her. The only one that didn't we're Hela, Venus, and the two younger girls that looked very similar to them who simply waved at the brown haired goddess with bright smiles.
*Flash*
Some will revolutionize the world.
An adult Valeria could be seen explaining the blue prints for a large generator to a young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes as Sue looked on completely lost by the explanation. The boy seemed to understand, however, and his eyes shone bright with power as pieces of technology began to float around him and begin constructing the generator.
I will always watch over them, but they will create their own futures and paths.
On a desolate planet Thanos could be seen scowling as he and his galactic army stared down Peter's family. Elise closed her eyes and linked their respective Spider-Senses together; she and the now older versions of her siblings looked at the hundreds of enemies impassively before smirking and charging forward. Their parents were about to follow when Peter called out to them and shook his head with a look of pride. Looking forward they all noted with some feeling of sadness that the kids-no-adults were doing just fine without them; in fact, they didn't seem to even notice that their parents didn't follow them.
Julia and Jessica simply sat back as they watched their own daughters planned the next course of action with an adult Ananase, whom seemed to be getting annoyed with Phantom doing the exact opposite of everything he said.
The thief just laughed.
*Flash*
BGM: END
"And that's why I stay sane, for them, for you." Peter said as Carol looked at him with tears in her eyes before quickly catching his lips with hers. The two just stood and enjoyed the feeling of each other in their arms as they continued to dance to a song only they could hear.
-Meanwhile Rebuff's Hotel: Elevator-
BGM: Celebration- Tank
"I can't believe this." A white haired young man with tan skin, silver eyes, and a black suit muttered as he looked at the bottle of Rose in his hand. "Who the hell tells their boss to go buy them a drink?" Rebuke asked incredulously. "Can't blame her though, she loves this stuff as much as I love coffee."
*Ding*
Rebuke looked up when the elevator door opened; he walked out and quickly found the room he was looking for.
"Rebuff! It's me, I got the bottle." Rebuke called out and almost instantly the door opened to reveal his third seat who was in a white bath robe. The man raised an eyebrow as he noticed that her hair was dripping wet. "Just got out of the shower?"
"Yup, sorry about that."
"No problem." Rebuke shrugged, not bothered by her state of dress in the slightest as he handed her the bottle. "So it seems you've been busy. You never give me the full details but the amount of paperwork you've been causing me is insane."
"Sorry about that." Rebuff chuckled as she led him in to her room. "It's my first job; things have gotten a bit crazy. Don't worry Spider-Man will be ready along with two others soon."
"Don't stress yourself now Rebuff." Rebuke said with a small frown. "I mean I respect Spider-Man and all but…it's Spider-Man, just how strong do you expect to make him?" Rebuff just simply shook her head with a smirk that sent a shudder down Rebuke's spine.
He knew that smirk.
Oh dear God did he know that smirk.
"What the fuck did you do?"
"Don't worry about it yet." Rebuff said as she waved him off. "Make yourself at home; I'll go get us some glasses."
"Alright." Rebuke shrugged as he sat down on a nearby couch as she went into another room. He took this moment to survey the room. "Huh? Candles? Well she always did like this kind of thing." Rebuke thought with a shrug. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Wanda walking out of the Hotel room; she paused and turned to him with amusement written all over face before leaving. "The…fuck…?"
"Here you go boss." Rebuff said as she handed him a glass before pouring them both a drink. "So how are things back at the HQ?"
"Jorn's still missing so the mass effect mission is still paused, Lexie wants your blood for hanging up on her, and the foot soldiers are all going emo because you're gone." Rebuke chuckled as he took a sip. "You're the heart of the organization Rebuff; it feels empty with you gone." Rebuke said honestly making Rebuff look away for a moment.
It was now or never, she supposed.
She downed her glass and turned back to him with a look of complete seriousness.
"Be honest with me Rebuke." Rebuff said seriously making him quirk an eyebrow. She barely ever called him something other than boss, and when she did they were normally curses but rarely his name. "How do you see our relationship?'
"Hmm?" Rebuke hummed in thought for a moment at the question. "Well I did practically raise you and trained you for a majority of your life. I'd say you are like a daughter, but that makes me feel old. You're a very close friend." Rebuke smiled as he placed a hand on her shoulder making her head slump before smacking his hand off of her.
"Fuck your friend zone!" Rebuff shouted as she stood up making rebuke blink in confusion.
"Whoa what the hell, Lady Reb?" Rebuke wondered in shock.
"Rebuke we have two completely different ideas of how this relationship works." Rebuff sighed making him look at her slightly hurt.
"I guess we aren't as close of friends as I thought, but I suppose you're still mad at me for using you at a pawn so it's understandable." Rebuke sighed.
"No you dumbass, I'm not saying we aren't friends but that's not what I want."
"Then what do you want? Damn woman I'm not a mind reader!" Rebuke defended making her roll her eyes before ripping her bathrobe open revealing herself in all her glory.
Rebuke's brain shut down for a moment.
BGM: END
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh." Rebuff deadpanned. "I'll be damned if I'm the only one not getting laid tonight, now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice is yours."
"Rebuff wait-"
BGM: Let's Get it on- Marvin Gaye
"The hard way it is then." Rebuff deadpanned before pouncing on her shocked boss.
"Wait, stop this, what are you doing with your hand-oh…yeah I see where this is going now. Huh, well alright!"
The things that happened on that couch were unholy. The next morning they would both feel a sudden urge to go to church.
And poor Wanda who had come back early when she realized she left her purse.
BGM: END
-Two Hours later: With Talon-
"Wow you definitely know how to wear a women's suit." Magik complimented as Laura tied her hair into a pony tail and placed it over her right shoulder. Talon was currently wearing a black women's suit with a violet shirt under the black jacket.
"Thank you." Laura said with a smile.
"Mistress, before you go out there…I want you to know that I-"
"I know." Laura interrupted with a sigh. "I know you do, but it's only because I violated your very mind Illyana. There's no way I can take advantage of you like that."
"How is it taking advantage, if the feelings are mutual?"
"You have no free will Illyana!" Laura said with a frown. "You can't do anything thing that I don't order you to do, tell me how is that love?'
"And you tell me, did you order me to love you?" Illyana countered making Talon pause. "Exactly you didn't. The last year we've spent I've never trusted anyone as much as I do you. I still blame myself for sending you to Hell and I'll never forgive myself for doing so."
"It wasn't your fault-"
"And this isn't yours. Just call it even and move on." Illyana said as she held her mistress' glare. Finally Laura looked away before walking to her hooded jacket that was on her bed and pulling out a vial of light blue liquid.
"I was waiting for a time where I could give to you in private, now is perfect. Peter made a cure. If you drink this, you will be freed from my control." Laura said making Illyana's eyes widen. "If you still feel the same way after taking this, then we can try something out." Laura said as she tossed the stunned mutant the vial. Magik caught it easily and looked down at it stunned.
"So if I drink this, I'll return to my normal self?" Magik asked making Laura nod with a serious expression.
A moment passed.
Magik popped the top of the vial and brought the shining blue liquid to eye level…
…Before opening a stepping disk and pouring the contents of the vial into the portal as Laura looked on in shock.
"Why would I choose to make myself worse willingly? I was a fool who had no direction. With you I have a purpose, with you I have friends, and with you I have a life." Magik Said seriously. "Brainwash or no brainwash, if you ever suggest that again I will do my best to make you regret it." Illyana then walked up to her stunned mistress and kissed her hungrily before releasing her. "Now go on, you have a wedding to attend."
-Later: Guardian Angel Cathedral-
"You could have told me it wouldn't work." Laura said sounding completely annoyed as she stood at the altar.
"What and ruin the surprise?" Spider-Man said with a quiet chuckle.
"I can't believe you made me ring-bearer…Erista is my new favorite." Logan muttered from behind Spider-Man.
"My heart bleeds." Laura said dryly making Spider-Man snort.
"Don't worry Logan; you'll get your pay back when we take pictures of Laura's face when she sees Jubilee." Spider-Man said making the feral smirk. "It never fails; when one sees their wife in a wedding dress they lose all self-control."
"Oh Please."
"Three hundred dollars says your jaw drops." Spider-Man challenged making Laura roll her eyes.
"Fine. Though I don't know why you would want to bet at all, you're rich-"
"Get ready, here they come." Spider-Man interrupted her.
BGM: Lost in Paradise- Evanescence
-Laura P.O.V-
Oh damn.
I lost three hundred dollars.
I couldn't help but gape as I watched Jubilee walk down the aisle with Blade in her pitch black wedding dress. Her undying beauty made my heart stop as I took in her appearance. She looked at me and her eyes were like crimson windows to her soul, and all I could see behind said windows were complete love and devotion.
All for me.
Just who the hell did I impress to make my life turn out the way it has, and how do I do it again?
I idly registered Peter leaning forward and placing his finger under my chin to close my gaping mouth much to his and Logan's amusement.
My mother was sobbing in joy in her seat and I couldn't find it within myself to be angered when Daken placed a comforting arm around her.
He can pay later.
-General P.O.V-
"We're gathered here today to finally unite Queen Jubilation Lee and Laura Kinney in holy matrimony." Deadpool began as Spider-Man wondered why the hell people kept hiring him.
"Cause I'm awesome." Deadpool said making Spider-Man blink in shock. "Alright let's fast forward to the important part." Deadpool said as he pulled out the words 'important Part' and threw them at the screen.
-Important part-
"Do you, Laura Kinney take Jubilation Lee to be your lawfully wedded wife until-well damn uhh…what do I say for immortals?" Deadpool wondered out loud and honestly many people wondered the same thing. "Okay until some extremely powerful and random event of complete devastation do you part?"
"I-I do." Everyone looked at the feral in shock as they could feel the emotion on her voice. A quick glare from her told them to shut up or die.
Well Chun-Li still got a chuckle in.
"And do you Queen Jubilation Lee; take Laura Kinney to be your lawfully wedded wife for all eternity until the previously stated event do you part?"
"I do." Jubilee said with a radiant smile.
"Do you also promise to take a few years off, for non-stop sex and possibly let me video tape it?" Deadpool continued.
"You're not videotaping shit." Jubilee deadpanned though many realized that she didn't disagree to taking a few years off for sex.
Laura was happy about this.
"I now pronounce you wife and wife, and also Queen and Queen of the undead vampire legion of Genosha." Deadpool said making the vampires cheer. Blade nodded silently to himself and began to sneak out, feeling that his job in Jubilee's life was finally over.
"Where do you think you're going?" Lilith questioned as she hooked an arm around him. "We're in Vegas and you're next." Blade's façade shattered instantly as he blatantly gaped at the daughter of Dracula.
"You may now kiss the bride." Deadpool said as the newlyweds kissed each other passionately.
Kidpool was nearby with a camcorder.
"And Jubilee, you may now mark her yours." Jubilee nodded as she moved Laura's pony tail out of the way before sinking her fangs into her neck and injecting her with venom. Normally this wouldn't do anything because of Laura's healing factor, but now thanks to Jubilee's reality gem, it would let the other vampires know who she was mated too.
"Now…cut to the lemon." Deadpool shouted.
BGM: END
BGM: Monster (Feat. Voxel) - Amanda Lee (Yes this is the same woman who did the English translations of some of those other songs. She has her own music too.)
Or.
BGM: Let's Get it On- Marvin Gaye
-Jubilee's hotel room-
(Warning what fallows is something that's more than a lime but I'm not sure if it reaches lemon status. Either way, viewer discretion is advised.)
The door slammed open as Laura and Jubilee clumsily stumbled entered the room. They held each other tightly as they kissed each other with so much passion and lust that one could wonder if their lives depended on never letting go of each other. As their tongues battled for dominance, Laura used her left foot to kick the door closed behind her while stealthily slipping her right hand down between them and cupping the young Vampire Queen's womanhood through her dress, making Jubilee gasp in surprise.
"L-Laura…" Jubilee attempted to whisper before the feral nibbled on her bottom lip.
"I want you…" The feral began before nibbling on her left ear. "All of you." The feral continued as Jubilee shuddered when she felt her mate's hot breath tickle her ear.
"You've had me for so long." Jubilee said quietly before reclaiming the feral's lips as she cupped Laura's rear with both of her hands and lifted the feral up. Instinctively, Laura wrapped her legs around the vampire's hips as Jubilee moved them towards her queen-sized bed effortlessly. Laura removed her legs when she felt the other woman grab the buckle of her belt, and with minimum effort, snapped the belt from her waist before throwing it back somewhere within the shadows of the room. Jubilee broke the kiss before mover her lips to the left side Laura's neck making the feral groan softly.
As this was going on, Jubilee slid her hand down the front of her mate's pants and under the black lace before placing two fingers at the feral's hot opening. Laura gasped light when she felt the vampire's sharp fangs graze the side of her neck as the fingers near her womanhood prepared to enter her. Slowly but surely the fingers entered her before suddenly meeting an all too familiar resistance. Jubilee paused before chuckling to herself as Laura looked away with am embarrassed blush.
"It's been way too long since we've done this; I almost forgot how special you are." Jubilee said quietly with amusement lacing her voice making Laura growl lightly.
"S-shut up, and get it over with." Laura muttered making Jubilee laugh before pecking her on her lips and leaning over to whisper in her ear.
"It's just one more thing to love about you…though you are paying for the sheets." The Vampire Queen said huskily before sinking her fangs into Laura's neck just as her fingers broke through the barrier making the feral's body jerk slightly on pain before a feeling of complete ecstasy began to replace it. Laura bucked her hips with a light growl as the fingers moved at a torturously slow pace before speeding up causing the feral to moan. The sight of how much pleasure the feral was receiving made Jubilee's own panties dampen slightly. "Hold on a second, Laura." Jubilee whispered quietly before removing her fingers from the feral, whom groaned in confusion.
"Jubilee…what-"Laura stopped when she felt her pants being pulled off before her black lace was ripped off of her making her frown slightly. "I liked those…" Laura said quietly making Jubilee blush slightly.
"Sorry, but I famished." Jubilee said sheepishly before she lowered her heard. Laura was going to say something when she felt something warm and wet enter her as Jubilee held her hips. Laura threw her head back with a howl of pleasure as she found herself grabbing a handful of the Vampire's hair. Laura could do nothing but just revel in the feeling of pure pleasure; it had been over a year since she had last lay with her mate.
It was then that she remembered that it was the same thing for Jubilee.
"W-wait!" Laura managed to get out causing Jubilee to stop her actions and look up at her curiously. Laura took a moment to regain her breath before pulling the vampire up on top of her, before flipping their positions sot that she was on top of Jubilee. Straddling the Vampire Queen's hips, Laura gazed down into her mate's bright ruby eyes. "Are you attached to that dress?"
"Not really, why-"
*SNICKT!*
*SHINNG*
Jubilee looked at Laura with wide eyes as her dress was shredded quickly by her mate.
"Oh." Jubilee said as she blinked owlishly. Jubilee's head turned to the side as she bit her lip when she felt her wife's fingers enter her. Laura kissed up her neck gently before nibbling on her ear lobe. Jubilee released a whimper when Laura's mouth was next to her ear.
"It's time I showed you the other forty five ways I learned how to pleasure a woman." Laura breathed out making Jubilee's eyes snap open in shock when she felt Laura's fingers spread.
"Oh shi-"Jubilee's thoughts were interrupted when her mind was overcome with a sudden spike of pleasure.
-Meanwhile-
Both Logan and Daken began coughing frantically as they sat at a table with Rachel and Sarah at a reception for the couple that was nowhere to be found.
"Damn it, I can hear them all the way from here!" Daken said in disbelief.
"God this feels wrong." Logan muttered as he held his ears.
"Oh man up; you two aren't the ones who can hear their thoughts." Rachel muttered as she rubbed her temples. "Just what the hell is Laura doing that can make thoughts project this far!? And poor Peter can see it." Rachel continued as she picked up some stray thoughts from a very uncomfortable Spider-Man. Though she raised an eyebrow when she notice he wasn't as bothered by them as she thought he'd be.
Spider-Man shook his head as he blocked the visions out.
"What are you? Gay?" Deadpool questioned.
"I don't feel like invading my teammate's personal time with her wife." Spider-Man said dryly.
"Teammate my ass you hit it like a few hours ago…on my roof." Deadpool deadpanned making Spider-Man slam his hand over his mouth and glance back at Logan's table. Both Logan and Daken were too busy plugging their ears, much to Sarah's amusement to hear the merc, but Rachel was staring at him in disbelief.
["Ask Laura about it later."] Spider-Man sent to her with a mental sigh. A flash of red quickly caught his eye and he saw MJ getting ready to leave. "Mary Jane, wait up!" Spidey called out getting her attention.
"What's up tiger?" MJ asked curiously, she was caught off-guard when she could see his frown from behind his mask. "Have you called Gwen since you've been here by the way?"
"It's about tomorrow…I'm going to need your help and it concerns Gwen." Spider-Man said seriously making her frown and nod her head. "Follow me so we can talk in private, I'm afraid that what you thought would happen…did happen."
"Damn it." MJ cursed. "If you saw it happening why didn't you stop it?"
"Because if it didn't happen, we'd all die." Spider-Man said seriously.
-Meanwhile: Abandoned alley-
Spider-Man looked around to make sure no one could see him before stomping on the ground.
"Uhh…Gaea come out I need to talk to you!" Spider-Man shouted as he jumped up and down on the ground like an idiot. "…Uhhh arise Gaea, arise!" Spidey chanted.
"What…exactly…are you doing?" A voice spoke up and he turned to see Gaea raising an eyebrow at him.
"Well you don't have a cell phone and you are everywhere so I just tried getting your attention." Spider-Man shrugged. "It worked."
"No it didn't I was on my way to find you." Gaea deadpanned before shaking her head. "Doesn't matter there is a problem on Olympus. Hera has gone insane-"
"Again?" Spider-Man questioned making Gaea sigh sadly.
"Again." Gaea admitted. "She's completely sieged Olympus and sealed both Hela and Venus in Venus' realm. She's gained some new power but I have no idea where she has gotten it from. You need to go back and-"
"No." Spider-Man denied making Gaea blink in shock.
"No?"
"No. She will show herself tomorrow, it is then that a fight must take place." Spider-Man said seriously making Gaea nod her head in understanding.
The Great weaver's word was law.
"Still how did she beat Hela? I was under the assumption Hela was much more powerful than her."
"She is." Spider-Man agreed. "But Hera's new powers were given to her by Death." The ground shook slightly as Gaea felt a shiver go down her spine. "Whoa easy there."
"Death!? Why would she interfere with myself and my children?"
"Because for some reason something about you makes powerful individuals want to kill you." Spider-Man said bluntly. "Don't know why, as beautiful as you are, but anyway. I can't see who or why, but someone sent Death to take me down in this damn tournament. Death and her team are going to challenge me and I need to find two people willing to fight alongside me."
"What about your team?" Gaea asked in confusion. "They are very powerful children."
"That may be, but none of them can fight Death. Strength isn't the problem its being able to survive Death's embrace that is." Spider-Man revealed. "I need you to fight with me Gaea, for your children, for your life because if Death wins tomorrow that's it."
"You realize that I am affected by Death's embrace as well correct?" Gaea asked with a frown.
"Trust me I know, but there is a reason I want you by my side. Besides you can handle Hera and leave Death and her new agent to myself and MJ."
"Scathach's champion? How will she be more effective than either of your team mates?" Gaea asked in confusion.
"She has a powerful artifact from another universe that works as armor. It's strong enough to protect her from the effects of Death, and mixed with Nemesis' power she is more than suitable for the job. She will handle the agent and I will take on death. Anansi's Exo-skeleton should protect me."
"But you can't keep it up for long periods of time." Gaea reminded Spider-Man. "With Venus and Hela sealed it'll be gone in minutes. Where do you plan to find near infinite amounts of either tantric or chaotic energy. I realize you have a lot of lovers but that's not enough and I doubt you are going to go out and murder millions."
Spider-Man just stared at her.
She stared back in confusion.
Spider-Man stared at her some more.
Realization began to dawn on Gaea.
"You cannot be serious." Gaea said flatly.
"Hey you said later when we fought; last I checked it is later." Spider-Man said bluntly making the planet itself step back.
"You're seriously asking me this?"
"Look I'm sorry I can't romance you like I want to but the fact remains, if you don't have sex with me you and everyone else will die." Spider-Man said with so much seriousness that Gaea felt her shoulders slump.
"That has to be one of the worst-what do you mortals call them? - pick-up lines I have ever heard." Gaea said dryly.
"Whether it's good or bad doesn't matter, what matter is did it work?" Spider-Man asked making Gaea sigh.
"Let's go."
-Meanwhile Las Vegas Strip: With Deadpool-
"Huh? Where is Spider-Man?" Tony wonderedas he and everyone else got ready to watch Team Badass' next fight.
"Fucking Thor's mom." Deadpool said seriously before turning to his team mates. They had been looking at him with a frown; something seemed off about the sociopathic merc since they got ready for the match. "Guys listen to me. I joke around a lot, and I love to annoy you both…but no matter what happens next remember this." Deadpool said as he turned to face them. "You both are some of the best friends a fella could ask for. If this is the last time we're together never forget that."
BGM: When I'm Gone- Eminem
Deadpool sighed and walked to a confused Outlaw who was standing with Kidpool and Lady Deadpool. Deadpool knelt down to talk to a crying Kidpool.
"Hey little man, it was fun while it lasted but you're going to be the big man from now on. Look after them for me will ya?" Deadpool said making the younger merc look at him.
"Y-you promised me you'd always be here."
"Well we both know I'm a liar." Deadpool said with a visible smirk. "Don't be like me kid, be better much better." Kidpool hugged the man tightly before Wanda pried him off.
"Don't go!"
"I have to sport." Deadpool chuckled before looking up at Outlaw who simply turned away and left, but it didn't bother him. He knew exactly how she felt.
Cowboys don't cry.
She wanted him remember her as the strong woman he fell in love with.
"Time for your match to start." Wanda said with a teary smile making Deadpool nod. "I'm happy for you."
"I know."
"Alright let's begin!" A blonde woman with a British accent began. "I'm one of the advisors behind this tournament, you can call me Lexie…my bitch of a boss is occupied right now so I will handle this match up." The blonde said as she gestured to Team Badass. "On this side we have Team Badass and on the opposing side we have…"
STAN THE JANITOR
"Not much can be said about Stan…he's a janitor…and I have no idea why he's in this tournament or why he's allowed to fight by himself, but whatever not my problem." Lexie shrugged as she gestured at the elderly Janitor who simply smiled and waved.
"Boy this should be interesting, be nice I am old." Stan chuckled.
"This will be a three on one fight. Deaths are permanent-which is fucked up seeing as one is an old janitor, but whatever. Not my fucking problem." Lexie shrugged. "Begin!"
"Let's go!" Deadpool shouted as he drew his Katanas and dashed forward as Dante and Squirrel girl looked on in disbelief.
"Whoa! Deadpool come on it's a janitor-"Dante was cut off as the man's glasses seemed to shine blue with pure ill-intent.
"Almighty cleaning technique number fifteen."
A flash.
"GAH!" Deadpool coughed in pain as he found himself flying back as multiple wounds appeared over his body. Stan simply walked forward with the mop held in a reverse grip.
BGM: END
Stan Lee Parkour Master-Minor Obsession
"What the hell-"Dante was cut off as Stan suddenly flipped forward and planted both of his feet onto his face.
"Aren't you a little young for white hair son?" Stan questioned before back flipping to his hands and springing forward kicking Dante down the street easily. Stan Lee spun around and began twirling his mop at supersonic speeds in order to block a barrage of bullets courtesy of Deadpool. Deadpool bit back a curse as he guns ran out of bullets. Stan blasted forward and leapt onto the side of a nearby building before bouncing off and round house kicking Deadpool away. Before Deadpool got too far, Stan caught him and midair and through him down the street. Deadpool flew like a bullet before landing next to a dazed Dante.
"What the hell is he?" Dante asked incredulously.
"The M-man." Deadpool winced as he stood up shakily.
"Where the hell is Squirrel Girl-"
*CRASH*
Dante's question was answered when Squirrel Girl's body suddenly slammed into a nearby car. The woman coughed up blood as its alarms went off."
"D-damn…" The woman muttered before slowly sliding down off the car and landing on the street.
"Okay enough playing around." Dante muttered as he pulled out his guns and activated his Devil trigger. "Show time-"Dante stopped when he realized that Stan was nowhere to be seen.
"Down here kid!" Stand said as he stood underneath Dante in a crouch. "Shoryu-err—upper cut!" Stan shouted as he rammed his fist into Dante's chin causing his mask to shatter, much to the Devil may Cry cast's shock. Both Juri and Chun found themselves crashing down as they felt an ungodly amount of energy being released from the uppercut.
Windows shattered from the shock wave as Dante sailed straight up into the sky.
-Just below the end of the stratosphere-
Stan appeared and grabbed him by the face before tossing back into the streets of Vegas. Dante was barely able to use his teleportation to prevent himself from turning into paste on the pavement.
-Las Vegas strip-
Dante reappeared in a flash just above the same car Squirrel girl had slammed in to. Dante coughed up blood as he rolled off the poor car and landed next to Squirrel Girl.
"We can't win." Squirrel Girl realized as Dante turned to her weakly as the man landed only to find himself parrying Deadpool's blades.
She was right,
This weird Janitor was on a level he couldn't even fathom. Not even his worst foes could toy with him like that old man just did. Even Vergil was looking at the Janitor with something akin to fear. Deadpool over-extended one of his slashes, and quickly found his arm ripped off by Stan's free hand before being kicked to the side.
"Time to end this, thanks for the fun!" Stan said as he spun his mop and turned to Squirrel Girl and Dante, both suddenly had a feeling of dread as the man disappeared.
*BOOOM*
*Splash*

BGM: Don't come close-Yeasayer
Dante and Squirrel Girl looked up in horror as they found themselves showered in blood. Before them was Deadpool who now had a gaping hole in his chest with the mop's handle sticking through it. Deadpool fell to his knees when Stan removed the mop.
"You took the blow? Shame you amused me." Stan muttered, Deadpool said nothing as he suddenly used his left hand to pull out a black Desert Eagle.
*BOOOM*
Stan frowned when the merc shot off his glasses.
"T-there is one…who's above even you." Deadpool got out weakly before falling back to the ground. Lexie could be seen looking on in a silent shock.
"He's in a disguise, but there is no way…" The blonde trailed off as a bead of sweat slid down her face. "How the hell did Rebuff get the fucking One Above All in on her insane plan? This whole universe is his domain; in Marvel…he is God." Lexie thought as she looked around and saw the confused expression on the hero's faces. "They want to interfere but he's making so that his very presence stops them from moving, hell even I am frozen"
Lexie then narrowed her eyes. "No, more importantly why isn't she trying to recruit him if she can contact him? Why waste her time on Spider-Man? Hell the web-head isn't even here…he's a hero, but what makes Rebuff so sure he's X7 material?" Lexie wondered as she watched as Stan simply began twirling his mop, prepared to finish the team off.
Dante and Squirrel Girl closed their eyes as they waited for the inevitable.

BGM: Number One- Bleach OST
"Enough!" A voice shouted as Spider-Man and Gaea suddenly appeared before Stan. Spider-Man quickly went to Deadpool's side and cursed when he noticed the merc wasn't healing. Both Lexie and Stan were confused to see that Spider-Man had no problems moving,
"Father, this is enough." Gaea muttered as she gazed at the man.
"I'm sorry I must have gotten carried away." Stan chuckled. "Oh well, completely my fault, but don't worry, Death will treat him nicely. I have to admit that immortality curse and his Healing factor were hard to bypass."
"You're chuckling?" Spider-Man asked quietly. "He's dead and you're chuckling."
"It's just one person who's technically died a long time ago." Stan shrugged. "He doesn't matter-in the grand scheme of things-"
*BOOOM*
Time seemed to slow As Spider-Man slammed his fist into the man's face shattering the ground beneath them. Stan looked forward with slightly wider eyes as he was sure he could see a frowning Nemesis behind Spider-Man. The ethereal Nemesis seemed to be bound to Spider-Man by golden webs. The watchers were blown back by the force of the punch and the entire city trembled from the shockwave.
"Who the hell do you think you are!?" Spider-Man shouted as he put more force into the blow until the man was finally blown back off of his feet and sent sailing back. Spider-Man reappeared next to him as he flew and rammed his elbow down on the man's chest. Stan slammed into the ground and created a crater that threatened to sink the strip.
The man held the side of his face in slight disbelief as Spider-Man appeared above him in the sky and descended with his fist cock backed. Stan instinctively grabbed his mop.
"ENOUGH!" A voice roared coldly and Rebuff flashed in between them, her body glowing with a white aura as she stopped both Spider-Man's fist and the tip of the mop cold with her bare hands. She gritted her teeth in pain as the force from the blows shattered her sleeves. Growling slightly, she clenched Spider-Man's fist and tossed him back towards Deadpool. Spider-Man instantly recovered in mid-air and landed next to Gaea. He took a step forward but was held back by Gaea.
Blood trickled down Rebuff's arms as she panted tiredly.
"Calm the fuck down Spider-Man." Rebuff muttered as her hard gaze softened lightly. "I know it hurts to lose a comrade, no matter how annoying, but now is not the time. You will get your chance, but only when you're ready. You're still too weak to face him. This fight is over, Stan wins and Team Badass is removed. Now go home." Rebuff said as she stood up and disappeared with Lexie. Stan simply held his face as he looked towards Spider-Man.
["T-there is one…who's above even you."]
"This boy…Spider-Man…is the same one that I had I tried to help get over his aunts death. That weak willed child is standing above me?" Stan thought incredulously as he remembered the time he took the form of a homeless man to attempt to help Spider-Man get over the loss of his aunt.(Cannon)
"Oh this changes everything." Stan said with a laugh as he held his face. "Of all the people it's you. You've impressed me boy, I'll see you at the top…that is if you can survive your next ordeal…" With that Stan simply vanished and the onlookers were able to move again.
"Y-you…" Gaea gaped at Spider-Man whom held his hand in pain.
"Damn it. I was a second too late. I didn't even see this coming." Spider-Man muttered as he turned to look at the dying Deadpool. "Wade, I'm so sorry if only I got here sooner-"
"It's O-okay…t-this is for the best…" Wade said with a visible smile thanks to his torn mask. Spider-Man frowned he had attempted to use the little control over the infinity gems he had to help but the web told him not to. "Promise me…tomorrow when you face Death…you need to save her."
"Save who?" Spider-Man asked in confusion.
"Save Death…from herself…everything will be better once you do…" Deadpool said with a smile. "T-thanks f-for letting me rip off of y-you."
"Anytime Wade, any time." Spider-Man said as tears fell down his face under his mask. "It was a hell of a ride."
"The best." And with that…Deadpool was gone.
"Damn it!" Spider-Man shouted as he punched the ground making it shatter.

-Elsewhere-
Death looked up in confusion as Deadpool appeared before her.
"Honey, I'm home." Deadpool chuckled as she walked towards him.
"How?"
"Your Dad got carried away." Deadpool deadpanned making her sigh.
"Come here." Deadpool did as she said and found himself in the tender embrace of Death, her cloak engulfed him. Deadpool hugged her back and leaned forward to whisper to here.
"Spider-Man is coming for you."
"It's about time we settled the score anyway."

"You bloody brilliant bitch, what the fuck did you do?" Lexie questioned as Rebuff chuckled tiredly and gazed down at her injured arms. "More importantly will you be alright?"
"Yeah I should be, I'm lucky that I made it there or Spider-Man would have been obliterated by that last attack." Rebuff winced out before blood pooled from her lips as she began coughing heavily. Lexie frowned as she tried to support her superior.
"I don't understand, his power is great enough why not recruit him now?" The blonde questioned making Rebuff sigh as she wiped her mouth.
"I want him to be his best. When he finally reaches his cap, he'll be ready…then we can finally end this war. Bitch won't know what hit her."
"I hope you're right." Lexie muttered before deciding to change the topic. "So…finally realized why the boss ignored you huh?"
"Up yours."

"Okay…where the hell did I end up now?" Spider-Man muttered as he found himself in a large white room that had a giant crystal flower bud. "Oh hell no…"
*Crack*
Spider-Man sighed as the bud opened to reveal a young brown haired teen that was wearing clothes that looked a little too small for the poor boy.
"Kingdom Hearts…really? Could I be any farther away from DC?" Spider-Man asked helplessly. The boy woke up and began stretching as a large black dog and a white duck ran into the room. "Donald! Goofy! Hey who are you?" Sora asked as he noticed Spider-Man, Donald and Goofy turned to him with confusion written on their faces.
"Your friendly neighborhood, dimension traveling Spider-Man!" Spider-Man introduced himself proudly.
"Cool Costume! Are you some sort of Super Hero?" Sora asked innocently.
"Got it in one kid." Spider-Man said making Sora grin. "Poor kid's going to have some tough times…" Spider-Man thought as he began walking away.
"Hey where are you going?" Sora asked curiously making Spider-Man pause…could he really let a kid this innocent fight alone? The kid would succeed either way but perhaps…
…just perhaps he could make a difference.
"Nowhere, just stretching my legs."
-Cue heartfelt Journey montage-
*Flash*
Spider-Man could now be seen running away from crazy fairy's that tried to change his costume as Sora laughed.
*Flash*
Sora, Spider-Man, Donald, and Goofy stood together as they found themselves surrounded by pirates. Both Spidey and Sora chuckled before leaping at their foes.
*Flash*
Spider-Man who had black octopus legs was preparing to leave the underwater kingdom with his companions when he was suddenly grabbed by a tearful Ariel. Spidey pulled back his mask to give her a reassuring smile but was caught off guard when she suddenly kissed him. Sora gaped at the sight.
*Flash*
Spider-Man could now be seen throwing Sora and Riku at a pissed of Xemnas.
*Flash*
Spider-Man was now grabbing Sora as he fell down towards the oceans of Destiny Islands.
*Flash*
A heavily scarred Sephiroth dropped his sword when a pissed off and battle scarred Spider-Man rammed his fist into the white haired man's face.
*Flash*
Peter walked through his portal and waved behind him. A tear slid down his face as he left a sad but happy Sora with his tearful companions and a promise to return.

"Well that was worth it…let's see if I can get to DC yet." Spider-man said as he walked to his next journey.

Spidey's life is a game Q& A: Interview by Z2010Deadmeat
(Bold is the question, normal font is my response)
Alright I have been wondering this since Day One nearly a year ago when you started this fic what inspired the combination for Team Amazing?
Alright so I was playing Marvel vs. Capcom and my friend was destroying me with his team of Dante, Deadpool, and Phoenix I was about five losses in when I just said "Fuck it" and did random all" Hilariously enough Team Amazing formed and I proceeded to destroy him 30- 7.
Alright next question what actually made you want to do a Spidey LIAG around this time the Superior Spider-Man was unveiled is it what really drove you to make this your main update story?
Actually I had this planned way before that, though Inferior Spidey did influence it greatly. In one of my older stories my character 'Rebuke" said that X7 was looking in to a man with a strange connection to spiders and a boy with a scar. (This was Spidey and Harry potter. obviously of the two only one succeeded.)
I would have to agree despite how Slott treated the fans with that story it gave you great material to work with. Next item off the list, you said that SpOck influenced it greatly since it began publishing but how much of the structure of your story did you have planned out when the first chapter was being written? You used a number of Canon events in this but what about your arcs like the Tier One fight always the way up to your planned finale was that the original idea? Or were you coming up with your arcs as the story developed with each chapter?
I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag. I had up to Ends of the Earth and the ending planned. I literally have been winging each chapter in between since I finished Ends of the Earth.
Well it has worked pretty darn well with the Untouchable Arc. Now tell me I was wondering why you chose to have Rebuff be the Announcer instead of Rebuke was it to help introduce her backstory and I know Lexie and Jorn are from other AJLexie from Deviant Art and 177Jorn fellow fanfic writer respectively but what about Rebuff how did you come up with her character and is she based after anyone you know either online or in your real life?
Ahh Rebuff, good question. You see -get ready for a shock- she isn't even my character! She's an OC I was given permission to use that was created by Xyshuryn one of my top fans since back when I first started. Her back story was something I came up with. You see her creator had been down on his luck, like really down -we're talking Parker level. Yet he showed courage I can only pray that I have and last I heard his life has been getting a bit better.
He taught me that no matter how bad life gets, if you are strong it will get better. (Which was what I needed seeing as I was an angsty teen that was going through some tough times when this fic started. You see I took the courage and used it to make a strong character that I felt I could bring to life and create quite possibly my best character. Yes even greater than Rebuke. It's only fitting that she would be the one in charge of my greatest fic.
Rebuff is the newcomer to the save the world thing, but she has something to prove. It will be her confidence in her abilities and her drive to prove herself to Rebuke that will give X7 their strongest member, even greater than the main three themselves. (Rebuke, Rebuff, Jorn)
So what is Rebuff? My greatest character and a tribute to a great man. (Long reply but pretty loaded question you asked lol)
Wow...was definitely not expecting something on that level and I hope the best for the Xyshuryn he sounds like a good person. Alright here is a question I bet some of your fans will want to know. Will Deadpool still be your co-pilot on announcements during fics or are you going to choose someone else to ride shotgun with you each fic like for example Johnny Gat in your Saints Row LIAG?
Hmm when I do start up SR again I might just keep it solo for that fic or use Rebuff. But this is NOT the end of Deadpool, of that I can assure you.
I am sure Deadpool is cheering at the sound of that. Ok another thing I am sure some long fans have been wondering. At the end of what you called Season One of Spidey's LIAG you revealed another LIAG movie was in the make. Is it still being developed or has Jorn's absence put it on an extended hiatus? (I don't know the situation with Jorn so if you do not want to answer I am cool with that and will simply ask something else)
It's...complicated, I'll put it that way. Things don't seem to get...finished...in this particular partnership. I'll leave it at that.
Alright and I will as well. Tell me Rebuke once Spidey's LIAG is said and done what's next for the X7 Crew? Which one of your stories will your attention turn too or do you have others already in the making?
Probably either FAO or Red...canon bleach is too fucked up for me to attempt Bakudo atm. It's probably best not to ask about the other fics atm seeing as I am still trying to figure it out lol!
Hey just keeping using the winging strategy since that has been your bread and butter so far lol. Alright I think this will be a big question for the fans. Your recent chapter the Hero Gauntlet saw the resurrection of two characters that had a major impact on both Spidey and Laura. Gwen Stacey and Sarah Kinney, Spider-Man's first love who perished by a combination of his own actions with the Green Goblin's and Laura's own mother whom she killed against her own will. With them coming back is going to definitely create a buzz but will we see the return of Uncle Ben?
Even I believe some characters should stay dead. Ben's role is complete, his wife even moved on. It's better that he stays dead because even now Peter will need that reminder of why he does we does.
Good answer I am sure many would agree with that logic. Well I think my question tank has been depleted...for now lol Anyway thanks for taking the time to do this man and if you ever do it as an omake you could set it up as a talk show lol (not saying it should if you do post some of these as an omake) Anyway I have to get some sleep I have to get up in four hours for college. This was fun thanks!
No problem bro!
