The Daughter of Deadpool.
Chapter 13: *Can't* Do what a Spider Can.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterNeaera waited as Spider-Man got out of his costume, back to his secret identity, Peter Parker. When he was finished, Neaera was greeted with a kinda dorky looking teenager. She couldn't help but giggle.
"What?" He asked "Is it because of my secret identity?"
"...Yes!" She blurted, laughing, followed by a snort.
"Well, if I were to be 'Macho' as most of the guys, then there's a good chance that my identity would be found." She controlled her laughter.
"True... true. So...where's your home?"
"Follow me."
After walking, the pair stood at the doorway of what was an ordinary house. With Peter knocking the door, it was answered after a while by an elderly, warm looking woman.
"Peter? Is that you?" she asked.
"Yes, Aunt May," Peter replied with his warm smile. "And I brought a friend with me from High School."
"A friend? Is it that Mary Ja-?" She froze as she spotted Neaera. "...Oh my... Peter... she's... she's a-"
"Yes, Aunt, she is a mutant."
"Hi." Neaera introduced herself. "I'm Neaera." Aunt May blinked, but shook herself.
"Oh, sorry for that." she apologized. "I never thought that I'd be with a Mutant of... your looks. Where are you from?"
"Equestria."
"It's a small town in South Africa." Peter quickly added.
"Oh... really?" Aunt May asked. "So she's an exchange student?"
"...You can say that."
"Oh, how lovely! Helping her get use around here?"
"Yup!"
"That's my boy! When did you move here, Neaera?"
"...Today, actually." Neaera spoke.
"Interesting. Uh... just one question?"
"Yes?"
"If you're from Africa, then why are you... well...?"
"Oh my god, Aunt May!" Peter exclaimed in embarrassment "You can't just ask why she's like that!"
"Oh, it's no biggy." Neaera replied "In fact... I don't even know what I look like when I'm shaved... eh, maybe for another time."
"I see that." Aunt May replied "Oh, today's Taco Tuesday. Care to join us?"
"...Taco Tuesday?"
Neaera scarfed down her 17th taco, though both Peter and Aunt May could only stare.
"...Uh... Neaera?" Peter asked. He poked her. She turned and hissed at him; Peter jumped back as she returned to eating her taco.
"... I'm taking Taco Tuesday off the menu when she's around." Aunt May spoke.
"...Agreed."
After dinner... and a lot of holding down, Neaera laid on her bed in the guest room. It wasn't the best, but, with how nice Aunt May & Peter were, especially after her less than stellar attitude, it was all she needed. Turned out, today was the last day of school for peter, and Summer break was going to start tomorrow. She pulled out her cellphone and texted to her parents.
Hey dad, just had my first day of heroing... kinda.
Kinda? What happened?
Chased through city. What did you do before meeting mom?
Oh. A lot of stuff, mostly bad, but, as I've said, I'm not a BAD guy. I'm just f**ked up... oh great! Even my texts are censored!
LOL. Yeah, it was tough today. Sleeping with Spider-Man, though.
... Sleeping with him?
Sorry, at his house. Kinda became friends with him. Who knew Tacos tasted so good!?
I have failed as a parent.
K. Bye
Hey! Our dad's texting is the color of my words! Lazy Ass.
Perhaps, but then again, you are more or less her father in mind as I am the mother. Now let's just sleep; we've got a long day ahead.
"Right, guys." She said, lying to her bed, and slept.
Both Spider-Man and Neaera/Lunacy stood on one of the local roofs of the small business buildings in the neighborhood.
"So... what are we going?" Neaera asked, putting on her suit.
"Well, since nothing's happening," he replied "I'm kinda curious about you."
"What's there to know? You already know a lot about me just by my looks."
"True, but actions speak louder than words." He began to bounce a bit "Let's see what you got."
"What I got?"
"Yeah! A quick lap around the block; no magic or any other gadgets."
"So you're not going to use your webbing?"
"Who needs webbing? Come on, follow me; if you can keep the pace."
"Oh, I'm sure I can!" Spider-Man nodded and ran ahead, jumping onto a nearby roof. Neaera followed, also jumping onto the nearby roof. It became a near race between the two, though, as Spider-Man was able to jump higher & climb MUCH faster then Neaera, who was described as an 'Assassin's Creed protagonist'. Both climbed up onto a taller building.
"You're pretty good." Spider-Man commented.
"Heh, thanks." She replied
"But, as they say, Actions speak louder than words."
"What do you mean? And if so, is the pen mightier than the sword?"
"... Okay, I'm sure some quotes work better for other people, but what I'm saying is this; your dad and I didn't get along all the time. I wanted to save people, he wanted to save those that would pay him."
"Hey, I'm not exactly like my dad!"
"I'm not saying you are. On the contrary, you may have his sense of humor, but not his murderous intentions. But, I wanna know more about you."
"Again?"
"Yeah, through a friendly spar."
"What!?" Neaera asked
Spider-Man prepared his fists.
"Don't worry," he said "Just give it your best. I'll go easy on ya."
"Uh... okay." She replied, a bit nervously as she prepared her fists. "No weapons, right?"
"Preferably. Web swing!" He shot a string of web into the sky, wrapping it around a pigeon, and swung himself to Lunacy. She ducked before he could kick her, grabbing him by one of his legs, and threw him. He rolled across the floor, but stopped, quickly got up, and sprayed more web, this time, onto her chest. The web was sticky, and Neaera was pulled to Spider-Man, who released an uppercut. She fell to the floor, a bit dazed, but shook it off, ripping the web off of her chest, and charged back. Spider-Man quickly made a slingshot with both of his webbing, and propelled himself to Neaera. She dropkicked his face, making Spidey spin in the air a couple of times before hitting the side of the bricked roof with his back. He got up and shook himself, turning to Neaera, and ran to her. She ran back, and the two let out a flurry of fists. While she landed a few blows to his face & chest, he dodged a majority of them & landed nearly all of his punches on her. The two grabbed each other's fists and pushed each other
"Huh, you're a pretty good fighter." He said to her.
"Thanks." She replied "You got me a couple of good times. How are you this good, by the way?"
'"My Spider Sense. Tells me when danger is nearby."
"Guess that's how you avoided my punches?"
"Sorta."
"Well, sorry to say, but I win."
"...How exactly are you-" She headbutted him. He fell to the floor, unconscious.
"Oof... Did I do it too hard?"
"Peter!?" A young, female voice spoke. Neaera turned to see a long, red haired, teenage looking woman, climbing a ladder to the roof they were on. She gasped as she saw Neaera. "W-What did you do!?"
"Uh... Oh no! Spider-Man! He's unconscious! Who is this Peter you speak of? I have no idea where Peter is at. Is he-?" The Woman groaned, walking to Spider-Man and taking his mask off. She crossed her arms and gave Neaera a stern look. "...Oh my god! Spider-Man's... a guy! Is he Peter!? I think it's a coincidence that-"
"Quit playing dumb. I'm not Stupid; I'm his Girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?"
"Yes. I'm Mary. Mary Jane Watson. And what the hell did you do to my boyfriend?"
"...Uh... well... we had... a friendly spar."
"...Huh. And who are you? And what's up with the mask?"
"Oh... Well, I'm Neaera, or, Lunacy, and well... I'm a hero."
"...Right, cause you look like a LOT like that one Deadpool sympathizer that was chased by the Avengers yesterday."
"Hey! I'm not 100% like my dad! I'm 50%." She paused as Mary gave a curious look. "Oh... uh... would you belive that I'm the Daughter of Deadpool?"
Roll credits.
"...The Daughter... of... Deadpool?" Mary Jane asked, a bit skeptical. "And who would the mother be?"
"Princess Luna."
"...From My Little Pony?"
"Equestria, really, but, sure."
"Proof."
"I am the proof. Need more?" She took her mask off. "Bam! Pony head, sexy gal body."
"I... didn't need that last comment."
"Good. Because you should also know that I'm three years old."
"...WHAT!?"
"Magic. I know, I don't really get it either, but, oh well. Man, I hope I don't have to use the 'But I'm only three years old thing' to everyone I meet. That'd be tiring, like Mark Wahlberg Inventor in Trans4mers."
We did that joke already!
Shh! Don't spoil lazy writing that is thought to be purposefully lazy to be genius which may or may not be genius, depending on who you're talking to. Like Stanley Kubrick!
... I don't know if that's genius or lazy.
"Magic, huh?" Mary Jane contemplated. "Well... are you doing anything, Ms. New Hero?"
"...Uh... no, not really." Neaera replied "I mean, if you need help, I can-"
"Yeah, that's all I need. But, quick question."
"Yeah?"
"Are... you a mutant?"
"...What do you mean?"
"Were you born like... this? I get your magic thing made you age much faster, but were you always a reverse centaur?"
"Okay, two things; 1) Yes, I've always been like this since I was born, and 2), a reverse Centaur would also have the horse hooves over the human arms, so no, I am not technically a reverse centaur, but an Anthropological being, or 'Antrho' for short."
"...Well, Miss 'Anthro', if I were you, then I'd make my way to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. With your looks and your dad's history with them, I've got a good feeling that the professor and students will accept you easily."
"You think so?"
"Oh, I know so. Oh, and, I was gonna have Peter take this to Dr. Strange, but I think you can do it." She pulled out a tome. The Tome, which was essentially a book, began to glow blue.
"Uh... is that normal?"
"No, I-I never saw this before!"
"Touch the tome..." a mysterious voice whispered "The closest way to fly... is to jump real high." Neaera sweated.
"I... I think I should... touch it." she said, reaching for it. The blue glowing intensified as she reached for it. As soon as she touched the Tome, it disappeared into blue dust and surrounded her, followed by it entering her body. She momentarily floated in the air, and her eyes glowed blue; She saw herself leaping over some buildings, and landing on the floor without taking damage from the Empire State Building. She fell to the floor, coughed, and inspected herself.
"What was that!?" Mary Jane asked.
"I-I don't know... but I think... I got new powers."
"New powers!?"
"Yeah... stand back." Mary Jane dragged the still unconscious Peter. Neaera took a deep breath and focused on her jumping. Unbeknownst to her, her horn glowed, casting around her body a blue Aura. Then, she jumped... 15 METERS INTO THE AIR!!! "HOLY S**T!!!" She fell to the floor, rolling a bit, and crashed into wall on the streets below. She pulled herself off, realized what she did, and laughed. Mary Jane leaned over the wall.
"Holy Crap! You just jumped that high!?"
"And I didn't feel the pain! ...Well... the wall hurt, but that's different. ...Say, you wouldn't happen to have more, would you?"
"No, sorry. But... I think I have an idea."
"Tell me."
"Well, before you appeared, some of these books have appeared all over the city. Most people just went along with their ways, but Dr. Strange and some magic users told us to keep an eye out for these books."
"...So you're saying these books can give certain people powers, like me just about now?"
"More or less, yeah."
"Huh... I better keep an eye out for these books. Oh! Where's Xavior's place?"
"Well, with your new power, I'm sure you can find it. It's the only mansion with multiple people around."
"Ah! Well, thanks for the ability, Mary Jane! Still need help?" Peter groaned as he got up.
"Nope. We should stay in contact, though. I'll friend you on Facebook."
"Sweet!"
"You better get going, though."
"Right!" Lunacy ran and jumped onto a nearby roof, and made her way to the school. Peter blinked.
"...Did she just jump high?" He asked
"Yeah." Mary Jane replied
"... Wake me up when we're home." He passed out again.
"Ugh... Oh Peter."
Next Chapter: Heavens gate looking... Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 18 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Okay, there's some elements I'm going to use from the various films, but a couple from comics, cartoons, and some other media. And yes, THAT was Aunt May to me, both back then and today! ASM was... bland, and the MCU one is... too young.
And yes, this is going to be somewhat of a mix between Infamous and Saints Row. (You'll understand the second later)
