The Daughter of Deadpool.

Chapter 9: Expressing the self

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Luna was quite surprised to see Neaera, somewhat older, but not too old. Her time with her uncle had certainly changed her; Neaera was a bit big & scrawny when she first did this hero thing, but returning, Neaera was now skinnier with lean muscles around her body, and she had matured... a little bit. Her daughter was still pretty reckless, and considering that she was able to lift a large boulder with both hands with relative ease & was basically a master at gymnastics, she like different Deadpool... one that could hurt more than help. She needed self control.

Luna approached Neaera's room, hearing her doing her weights. She opened, seeing her daughter easily lifting her dumbbells, both ends having a CMC member, with Babs as the 4th.

"Neaera?" Luna asked

"Yeah?" She replied "You better go. My mom's here."

"Aww~." The fillies whined, getting off their ends and leaving. Neaera set down her dumbbells and turned to her mom.

"What's up? Need me to move some furniture for a friend?"

"No, that won't be necessary." Luna replied "Neaera... we need to talk."

"Ugh! Again! Look, I said I'm gonna be a hero, and I-"

"It's not about you becoming a princess. Not entirely. But... you need to focus."

"Focus? Mom, I'm already focused. I did my training with Uncle Cruger."

"No, not that focus. It's good you're maintaining your body, but I need you to focus on something else."

"...Something else?"

"We'll talk in a different place." Luna's horn glowed and she opened a portal.

"Uh... where are we going?"

"Just follow." Luna walked in. Neaera followed.

Both Luna and Neaera walked into a large field, seeing a small trench & a couple of hills around.

"Where are we?" Neaera asked

"Where I go to relax." Luna answered.

"...That's vague."

"Neaera, please. Just sit down, and relax."

"Relax!? Why would I-!?"

"I'm your mother, just do it. Sit down, relax, and don't make any sudden movements." Luna sat down and laid on all 4s. Neaera groaned as she sat down while crossing her legs.

"Well? Now what!?"

"... Just relax. Let go of what's on your mind, and breath. Feel nature at it's finest." Neaera gave her mother a skeptic look, but sighed. She took her deep breath and tried to let go of what was on her mind. She closed her eyes, trying to not focus on anything. The wind blew on her, as well as the sound of the crackling leaves. She felt some things on her body, then some weird talking. She reopened her eyes to zee that she was covered by miniature, bug ponies!

"...Uh... mom?" She looked us, seeing her mom sitting on her haunches, also covered in the bug ponies.

"Relax... they're just breezies."

"...Breezies?"

"Equestria's most delicate, fragile beings. Just let them do their thing." Neaera blinked, but listened. She carefully moved her arm, and opened her right hand. A blue breezie with a pink mane & tail landed on her hand, then inspected her. Neaera, with her left, slowly & carefully patted it's head. The Breezie enjoyed it, saying something in it's native tongue.

"...I have no idea what you said, but thanks." She looked to her mom. "Mom... why are we doing this? They're not in trouble, are they?"

"...No, they aren't. You just have to know that, like a princess, a hero can't go around and fight all the time. You have to know when it's time to build, when it's time to watch, and, in your case, when it's time to act."

"...Did you just quote Benjamin Mother f***ing King?"

"LANGUAGE!!!" some of the breezies flew off, but shortly re-landed on her when she calmed down. "No... and if I did, then it's a coincidence. But, what I'm saying is this; take a break every now & then. I, as a princess, take my breaks."

"Do they usually involve you and Dad making love?" Luna stared at Neaera. Some of the Breezies 'Oohed' at it with other giggling. This got Luna to blush.

"Uh... I meant before... your father."

"During his time here or before?"

"A bit of both, Neaera. I'm the princess of the night, so not only do I watch over my subjects at night, but I dream walk, making sure the children & others have good dreams and learn from their nightmares."

"...Sounds a lot like Freddy Krueger."

"Ugh... that's the same thing your father said. But will you calm down, Neaera? This isn't for me, but for you."

"Why would I need a break from saving people?"

"... You can still save people out of costume, Neaera. But you should do other things that won't risk your life."

"...Like what?"

"Do you have any other talents? Enjoy painting? Sports? Baking?"

"... I... can you keep a secret, mom?"

"I can keep anything a secret, my child."

"Can I tell you something without the breezies around?"

"Oh... right." she turned to the breezies. "Go on, this is between my Daughter and I." The Breezies nodded and seemingly floated away from the two. Luna scooted herself to her daughter. "What is it?"

"Well... you know what dad did before I went to train?"

"... What was that?"

"Oh... well... you were together... half naked, and you were both singing Paula Abdul's Opposites Attract." Luna blinked.

"...Is that it?"

"No, but thanks to you two, I now have a passion for music, both the ones from the heart and the ones that make perfect, unfunny ones you see on Vine."

"...Soo...?"

"I like music, mom."

"Oh! ...Well... care to show me what you can do?"

"...Without the Breezies watching?"

"Of course, sweetie." Unbeknownst to Luna, all of the breezies were on her back, peeking.

"Okay... and I apologies to the readers if you're not a Shakira fan, nor enjoy Anthros, such as myself."

"...What?"

"Zootopia" She stood right up and cleared her throat. Her horn glowed and music began to play with various 'Oh's playing.

♫I messed up tonight, I lost another fight

I still mess up but I'll just start again

I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground

I always get up now to see what's next

Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up

Nobody learns without getting it wrong♫

She began to loosen up as Luna smiled, trying to dance with her.

♫I won't give up, no I won't give in

'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again

No I won't leave, I wanna try everything

I wanna try even though I could fail

I won't give up, no I won't give in

'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again

No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything

I wanna try even though I could fail♫

The Breezies all glided off as Luna got up to dance with Neaera.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!" Luna sang.

"Try everything!" Neaera continued

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

"Try everything!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

"Try everything!"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

The Breezies all floated around the two, also dancing with the two.

♫Look how far you've come, you filled your heart with love

Baby you've done enough, take a deep breath.

Don't beat yourself up, don't need to run so fast

Sometimes we come last, but we did our best♫

♫I won't give up, no I won't give in

'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again

No I won't leave, I wanna try everything

I wanna try even though I could fail

I won't give up, no I won't give in

'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again

No I won't leave, I wanna try everything

I wanna try even though I could fail♫

All of the breezies did a synchronized dance

♫I'll keep on making those new mistakes

I'll keep on making them every day

Those new mistakes♫

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

"Try everything!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

"Try everything!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

"Try everything!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

"...Try everything..."

All of the breezies and Luna applauded to Neaera. She blushed and bowed to them.

"Why have you not sang before?" Luna asked "That was amazing!"

"Well... I accidentally swallowed a miniature auto tune computer, so that's one reason." Neaera replied "And... well... that's kinda why I like to where the mask."

"Wait... you're shy?"

"Well... I know it doesn't make a lot of sense, considering, well, I really do stick out more than Dad, but... I don't know... it's like a blanket, almost."

"Ah. Well, this goes to our next reason: be yourself."

"... But I am myself."

"Well, I mean you're hero self is one thing you want to show, but please, really do act like yourself OUT of costume. Just... make some friends, okay? Those that are your age."

"So... I hang out with babies?"

"...Okay, this is really weird, but I guess you should hang out with the other adults. In fact, give me a second." She pulled out a note and wrote with her magic. "And... there! Tomorrow, you're going to be with Twilight Sparkle and her friends."

"What!? Them!? Really!?"

"Neaera."

"...Oh... fine... I guess I can hang out with them."

"Good. They will teach you some valuable lessons before your third birthday when you turn 21. Plus, Princess Twilight will keep a good eye on you, and you will learn other forms of magic."

"...You don't mean-?"

"NEAERA!!!"

"OH!!! Sorry, my bad! But what's wrong with my magic?"

"Your magic is very... lacking, dear. When Twilight was only a filly, not only did she hatch Spike from an egg, but caused her parents to become cacti, carried the staff in her magic, and, with spike, turned him into a dinosaur."

"But... that was because of Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom. Without it, Equestria would be down the toilet."

"...Yes... Twilight told me that... makes me wonder if anypony isn't too lazy to fight me or any other danger that came along the way."

"...That's a surprise."

"What is?"

"You're pretty much over the fact that you were Nightmare Moon. Dad told me that you were VERY emotional when it came to that."

"Yes, I was, and as much as I disagree with you father, I do have to agree that I was being overly dramatic about it when it was just less than three hours in total."

"... Did... Nightmare Moon get transferred to me?"

"...Transfer to you? Neaera, Nightmare Moon was just something I did as an attention w***e back in the day."

"Did you just-!?"

"Yes, I did, but it's true. That is one thing, though, that you should know: don't do this for attention only."

"Well, yeah, I want to do something that's-"

"Don't let the idea of being popular get into your head, Neaera. That is all."

"Oh... alright. Can we go now? The Breezies are giving us the adorable eyes." Luna turned to see that the Breezies were still there, and were making adorable, begging faces.

"Oh, hold on, this will help." She conjured up some cookies and left it with the Breezies. The insectoid ponies cheered, munching on the cookies. "Let's get back, your dad gets easily bored."

"Yeah, and I don't want him playing my new weapons."

"Weapons!?"

Both Luna and Neaera reentered their home and saw Deadpool playing with a technological looking Claymore sword.

"DAD!!!" Neaera yelled "Stop playing with Mel Gibson!" She walked and snagged the sword away.

"Mel Gibson?" Luna asked

"Famous actor and insane person." Deadpool said. "He really went mad, unlike Max. But you never showed my that weapon."

"You have more!?" Luna demanded.

"Just two more." Neaera replied. "See, this is Mel Gibson, he, and his two partners, Slicey McGilligan, and Shank McGee, are my weapons. Mel here is a mix between both a Claymore sword, and," she clicked on a button and it became a different weapon with the Claymore still present. "it's mixed with a sniper rifle. Mel is following your style, mom, but the other two are curved short sword mixed semi-auto machine guns, following more like that of Dad."

"...And who designed these weapons for you?"

"RWBY!" Both Deadpool and Neaera replied.

"...I'm no longer going to ask. Nearea, go to bed, and... don't use those around, okay?"

"Yes, mom." Neaera said with a nod.

"Good. And Honey... come to bed with me. Tonight's karaoke night."

"Sweet!" Deadpool said "I got the perfect song!" Deadpool followed Luna upstairs.

This is Bulls**t! Going to bed! We're 16 years old!

Technically, we're 2, and we should go to sleep.

"Guys... I just want to sleep." Neaera said, walking and going to her room. "And you should go to sleep as well, folks."
