Crazy mercenaries

Peter woke up feeling some pain in his back. "Ohhh, my back."

When he tried to sit up, he felt as if he had his arms wrapped around something. He also felt as though someone was hugging him. He looked down and saw black hair under his chin, freezing in place.

This was after he had regained his memory of everything that happened the previous night, and he felt embarrassed internally because he had shown someone his weakness, and no less than Rio Morales.

Peter began to feel that Rio was starting to stir as she woke up because he had woken her up due to his movements and groaning loudly. He looked down, and Rio's gaze was fixed on him as she woke up and lifted her head to look at him.

They both stared at each other without saying anything until Peter broke the silence. "Good morning, Rio."

Peter's words fully woke Rio, and she quickly sat up from on top of Peter and straightened up on the couch, feeling very embarrassed.

The silence returned, hanging in the living room, but Peter no longer liked the silence and decided for the second time that morning to break it. "Thank you, Rio, for what you said last night."

Rio remembered the night before, making her momentarily forget her embarrassment, and she looked at Peter. "I think you should get the rest you were talking about, but not necessarily retire completely. Maybe you just need more balance between Peter Parker and Spider-Man."

Peter smiled, finding himself touched by her words, and after a moment of thinking, he replied, "Maybe you're right, Rio. But I realized that I can't carry the burden alone all the time... I need rest, and that's what I plan to do," Peter said, looking at Rio with gratitude he couldn't hide.

Rio smiled shyly and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. "Everyone needs a partner, Peter. Even superheroes need someone to support them... maybe that's why you reached out to me without realizing it."

Peter nodded, finding some comfort in her words. "You were right, Rio, you're someone anyone can rely on. I don't know if you know this, but your words were really something I needed."

The silence returned, enveloping the two of them, but this time, it was Rio who got up from her seat. "I'm going to check on the little girl and bathe her. Maybe I'll give her some of Miles' old clothes... oh, right, what's her name again?"

"Her name is Leah," Peter replied with a small smile and added, "While you're checking on her and everything, I'll go prepare breakfast, if that's not a problem."

Rio looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Do you even know how to cook? You're not going to burn my kitchen, are you?"

Peter looked at her in surprise and waved his hands. "What? No, definitely not. I won't burn your kitchen. Do you think I'm Will Smith from The Fresh Prince or something?"

Rio looked at him and laughed, and the awkward, silent atmosphere that had been there for a while disappeared. "Alright then, Peter. I trust that you won't burn the house down like Will."

Rio went to the room where Leah was, while Peter went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Time passed...

Peter set the breakfast table. It's not like Peter is a master chef, but if he has the ingredients, he'll make an ideal breakfast, just like every American would, which he doesn't have in his apartment.

But since Rio is Rio, the perfect American woman and organized, it meant her kitchen wouldn't lack the basic ingredients to prepare breakfast.

The breakfast Peter made consisted of cereal with milk, toast with peanut butter or jam, scrambled or boiled eggs, oatmeal with fruits or nuts, fruit smoothies with yogurt, pancakes or waffles with maple syrup and butter.

Some of it was for Leah, poor girl suffering from dehydration and malnutrition, and the rest was for him and Rio. He made sure there was enough for everyone.

A few moments later, Rio entered holding Leah's hand, who no longer wore her tattered clothes and was now dressed in blue pants and a white shirt.

Leah looked at Peter and opened her eyes wide. She pulled her hand from Rio's and quickly ran towards Peter. "Mr. Peter!"

Peter looked at Leah, bent down, and hugged her. "How do you feel, Leah? Are you feeling better?"

Leah nodded her head while in the tight hug. "Yes, Mr. Peter, I'm fine. Thank you for helping me." Suddenly, Leah began to cry on his chest as Peter gently patted the little girl's head.

"Shhh, just calm down, little one. I'm here, and I won't leave you... ever," Peter spoke with some sadness, remembering his daughter.

Leah lifted her head to look at Peter with eyes filled with tears. "You promise me that, Mr. Peter?"

Peter stopped holding Leah and placed his hands on her cheeks, wiping away her tears, then kissed her head. "I promise you, little one... Listen, Leah, after breakfast, I want to talk to you, okay?"

Leah nodded with a small smile while Peter also smiled. "Good, because it's not the time to cry. There are pancakes that need someone to eat them."

Leah laughed at that while Rio, standing on the side, smiled unconsciously at the sweet scene between Leah and Peter, thinking, "Damn, he's the perfect father figure... If only... no, no, Rio, get back to reality. What are you thinking?"

Suddenly, Rio snapped out of her thoughts when Peter placed his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, Rio, are you okay?"

Rio looked at him embarrassed and waved her hand. "I'm fine, just amazed that you didn't burn the kitchen or the house."

Peter looked at her with an annoyed face, dramatically placing his hand on his chest while Leah laughed at his childish behavior. "Oh my god, Rio, you doubt the amazing and magnificent Peter Parker. I'm better than Will Smith."

Rio pushed Peter towards the breakfast table while also smiling. "Come on, Mr. Amazing and Magnificent. I'm hungry."

Peter grabbed the chair and pulled it back, gesturing for Rio to sit. "After you, madam."

Rio sat down after Peter pushed the chair forward as she spoke, "What a respectful man."

Peter smiled as he made his way to the next chair. "Everything for you, ladies. I hope you enjoy."

Peter, Leah, and Rio enjoyed their breakfast together, talking and laughing. Overall, they looked like a small family.

Outside the dimensions, or as it's called, Hell (the fake Hell).

A somewhat imposing figure with red skin, a red cloak, black hair, a large forehead, and sharp teeth sat on his throne, angrily staring at the split character in front of him.

The character spoke in a sharp, deep voice. "You crazy mercenary, why are you bothering me in my kingdom?"

The crazy mercenary could only be Wade Wilson, known as Deadpool. "And I told you, Mephisto, Mephistopheles... yeah, Mephistopheles, your name is hard. I think I'll just call you Mephisto like everyone else."

Mephisto was now furious. The crazy mercenary was mocking his name. "You crazy mercenary, tell me why you're bothering me in my kingdom. I am the devil, Mephisto!"

Wade placed his hand on his nose. "Oh wow, your breath smells bad. Try mouthwash. And we both know you're not really the devil. You just want some attention, and this isn't even Hell."

Fire began to come out of Mephisto's mouth as he stood from his chair, but he was hit by two bullets, which had no effect on him. However, when he saw that the disturbance had become two now, he became even angrier, regretting his luck because he was now targeted by two of the most annoying people.

Wade screamed from the ground towards the new character who had fired the bullets. "Wanda, what are you doing here? This is my mission! The author promised me a truckload of money and a planet full of danger and the happiness of my brother."

Wanda Wilson, also known as Lady Deadpool, looked to the side and broke the fourth wall. "Hello, dear readers. I'm sure you didn't expect to see me, probably because you thought the fool in half would be in the arms of my beloved Spider-Man, especially if he turned into a woman."

Wade screamed from the side. "Damn you, Wanda! My buttocks!"

Wanda continued speaking. "Anyway, I'm here, so you know what that means. And if you're asking why I'm here, wait for the next chapter, dear... Just kidding. You won't hear from me until about ten more chapters or twenty. The spearhead fight won't end in a moment."

Mephisto screamed from the side, "You annoying parasitic creatures will die by my hand for disturbing me!"

Wanda placed her hand on his mouth. "Oh wow, your breath is worse than Gene's." She turned towards the fourth wall again. "For your information, dear readers, Jennifer King is coming to Earth 616 to look for love, if you know what I mean wink wink."

"Damn you all!" Mephisto shouted as he flew from his throne towards Wanda, who pulled out some giant guns, with Wade still wearing his pants.
