_ Can you help me with that ?

Peter softly looks at the two in front of him. Beck has been captured so have his team, but this is just a beginning for Spiderman's enemies to go after Peter Parker. May's death rings him back to his sense, to the moment he's scared of the most. When he can't save everyone.

_ Is there any spell to erase my existence as Peter Parker in my friends' lives and every other's, out there ?

Loki slightly eyes at Wanda then stares at the strong determination in the kid's eyes. 

_ I can't risk to lose them too, they're my only friends. Beck had found out about my identity, so will the villains I'm going to face in the future. They deserve better than the danger I brought to them. Please, help me. 

_ You don't understand how powerful the forgotten spell is, teddy bear. Everything about you, about Peter Parker will all be wiped out, like you never existed. You will be forgotten. 

Loki states firmly for the boy.

_ Well I have you guys. 

In contrast of his worry, Peter just smiles. 

_ If you guys remember me, that will be enough. 

_______

_ So, care to update your plan to me. 

Tony knocks slightly at the table, pulling back some senses on the kid's blank look. He pulls over a chair to sit next to him. 

_ .. I'll to go college. May will want me to finish study and I only have a few years left being the boring Parker, so I'm gonna survive it. 

Peter raises his eyebrows sarcastically.

_ GED huh ? You have any school in mind ?

_ MIT sounds nice ?

Tony grins mildly to encourage his decision. The kid has gone through a lot, now he has no one, no family, no friends, no identity, so Tony feels responsible for him. 

_ You seriously won't re-think ?? Look at the place, look at my tower, look at your room, THE LABS !!! 

Tony enthusiastically claims, hand motions are included. 

_ I've already rented a place. Near school, high criminal rate and cheap. Don't worry Mr. Stark, I'll still be your personal intern, can't leave my mentor talking alone to Dum-E.

'Cause that's what he did when Peter's not in lab with him. 

________

_ So you're telling me, that scrawny nerdy who knows nothing but labs labs is Spiderman ?

Fury asks back in confusion, eyeing the whole team. 

_ That scrawny who can stop my metal punch in one hand. 

_ The nerdy who casually caught my shield when I threw it full force, in a 5 meters distance. Not to mention, a whole terminal.

_ He smashed down the drones with his eyes closed. 

_ He pinched Nat down twice. And avoided all of my arrows.

_ The kid keeps telling me he stopped a bus with his bare hands. 

The whole team's spacing out then calmly nod at every answer. They've already made up their points about recruiting Spiderman and have a talk with Nick Fury. They're all standing up for him, now. 

_ He will have his choice when he's officially an adult. But at this moment, he's still under my guard. 

Tony glares straight at the patchy guy. 

_ And jokes on you, I'm his legal guardian now.

Peter takes a deep breath while swinging around the city. He has just checked on Ned and MJ, which brought a bit tears in his eyes but he feels glad for them, at least they're safe. He decides to take off his suit and sit at the edge of Long Island City Building, as Peter Parker. 

_ Urg, so dry. 

After took a bite of his sandwich, Peter groans gently. Should've gone with the old menu, well it's Mr. Delma recommended it for him. Peter peacefully stares at the beautiful sunset falling on the city. So he guessed, orange means goodbye then..

_ Have you made your reservation, Boy-oh-boi ?

He turns at the familiar voice and sees Deadpool jumping down from the building's wall to land next to him. Deadpool doesn't expect to see anyone here, in his favorite spot of the city, maybe except for the cuties. 

_ I clearly marked my spot there and you're sitting on it. 

Deadpool walks to the boy to be able to watch his face closer. Poodle curls, big round brown eyes, stuffed cheeks with crumbs all over the place, gosh he's adorable. Ooh, more than Spidey ? Urg, they're both top tier. Deadpool groans slightly because of his thoughts, then sits next to the boy. 

_ Isn't a kid in your age should be in some alley, smoking, drinking, fighting, drugging ? Not that you look like one of those, a softy like you should be at home cuddling with your parents ?

The boy hasn't budget his look from Deadpool for the whole time. Oh come on, this is the first time he decided to sit on a high building as Peter Parker and he ran into, not anyone but Deadpool !? Yes, Spiderman and Deadpool are friends but he doesn't know about Peter Parker's existence, yet. The boy gulps nervously, trying not to throw up the food in his mouth. 

_ No, no. I-I'm um.. I have no one left. 

The older guy lets out a delay "Oh.." and falls in silent. Peter can tell he's feeling guilty about that. It's fine, all he needs to do is act naturally, don't be suspicious and keep distance. 

_ Well you should get down. A wind can easily whoop you kid away and I'm not Spiderman, I can't web you back. 

Deadpool glances at the boy who is awkwardly having his sandwich. Danggit, shouldn't have impressed him with the lame parents' joke !! Please excuse for his tension, no normal person wouldn't scream and run away from him in terror. A close-up conversation in a very long time is causing the famous wisecracking mercenary tongue-tied. 

_ I'm not a kid.

Peter whines back. Why does every single person he met always have to pick on him with this !!

_ And I am not Ryan Reynolds. Come on kid, truth's always hard to accept, like how Cap slams the heck out of a 120inches TV to turn it on, and Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury is Samuel L. Jackson in disguise. 

_ No ! I'm serious !!

_ I am serious too !! Can you believe captain Jack Sparrow's name is Nicholas !? Come on, how English can it be ?

Peter directs his glance upper a bit to think, completely forget about the large amount of food in his mouth. 

_ 'ill not at mut at Charles. 

The two break into laughter when Peter tries to pronounce as clear as possible with his chipmunk cheeks but instead, spills food all over himself. 

Peter quickly excuses himself but Deadpool doesn't mind that. Luckily, he's all finished his meal now. 

_ So, what bring you here ? To the most beautiful view of the city.

_.. Well.. I maybe.. need some fresh air.. 

Peter awkwardly says with eyes facing the front. He squints slightly due to the dazzling last light of the day. The reason for him to make this decision suddenly recalled. He needs a place to hide away from Spiderman, to be who he truly is. 

_ Call me a therapist 'cause I know that look. But, I won't push you, you can talk if you want to. 

Deadpool shrugs mildly. He knows that look, when you have so much in your head but can't find anyone to convey it. Let's not expose the guy by saying, he knows because he's in the same shoes.

_.. It's a big city.. but not as glamorous as it seems..

Peter whispers softly under his breath after a moment of silent. Call him crazy to express himself to a deadly mercenary, but his mind for some reason, wants to talk. And the guy seems to be a good listener.

_ It's suck, if I may declare. 

_ But you risk to protect your loved ones everyday. The world has never been nice to you, but you fight for them anyway. 

Peter sadly says, doesn't realise the startle look of the guy. 

_ Life has worned you out, huh ?

Deadpool quietly observes the boy next to him, how he tries to hold back his tears. In a split of second, the pure clear hazel eyes have been shattered. 

_ They took away all of the people I loved, my family my friends and-

Peter rapidly states with a crack in his voice. He pauses a bit then inhales. 

_ And they want me to be a good person. 

He bites his bottom lip to stop his tears from falling, making his eyes gotten red. 

_ But you're fine, aren't you ? You're here, facing the most beautiful view of the city. You're still standing even with their shieet. 

Peter's dazed at Deadpool's unexpected words. He couldn't see much expression on the mask but through his voice, Peter can tell how sincere he is. The younger leans back in surprise when Deadpool moves closer to observe him. 

_ Personality can change but not your character. You'll be fine, kid. 

The glistening hazel eyes are being brightened even more by the orange hint from the sunset. Like a pool of honey. Deadpool can see how those eyes reflect his shade. 

_ I don't know about any others and I don't really care. But you, you'll be alright. 

End chap.
