It took twenty minutes but he finally made it home. Peter was able to change into his civilian clothes and revealed his looks to Lady Death. While mad, she admitted (to herself) that he at least looked decent.
The two of them stood together in front of a nice looking house.
Peter: Welcome to Casa de Parker. Come on in.
Lady Death scowled at him while he led the way inside. They walked inside Lady Death saw that it was rather clean and hospitable with a nice living room and kitchen.
Peter: I bought this house five months ago. There are two bedrooms upstairs with nice bathrooms, a large kitchen for me, and a basement that I store all of my equipment.
Lady Death: I get it. You're very happy with yourself.
Peter: Well when you've only rented apartments and had asshole roommates, you bet I'd be happy to have this.
Lady Death: Doesn't change the fact that I hate my current predicament.
Peter: I apologized for that but sure, let's keep bringing it up.
Lady Death was getting angry and decided to blast Peter with magic while his back was turned. The magic bolt teleported before it hit Peter and hit Lady Death back the face.
Lady Death fell on the floor with Peter turning around.
Lady Death: By the abyss! What did you do?!
Peter: Me?! What did you try to do?!
Lady Death: Don't play dumb with me arachnid! I tried to end you but my attack disappeared and hit me!
Peter: Okay three things: First, don't ever do that again. Second, I didn't do anything to warrant an attack from behind. And third, read our marriage certificate.
Peter handed it to her and she snatched it from him and started reading it. Lady Death's eyes widened at what she read.
This is a Marriage Certificate of Spider-Man and Lady Death. It sees that these to are blessed by the One Above All and will live with each other until death til they part. This certificate forbade any violence between the two and they must come together.
Lady Death: This is not fair. I am literally trapped with an idiot for the rest of my undead life.
Peter: Ah come on I'm not that bad. Besides I-
Lady Death: NOT THAT BAD! BEING MARRIED TO YOU IS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH! I YOU HADN'T SIGNED IT, I WOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT! YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT OF A MAN AND HERO! IT'S NO WONDER EVERYONE HATES YOU! YOU ARE PATHETIC!
Peter was hurt by this but more than that he was mad. He resisted yelling at her and decided to answer her honestly.
Peter: Fine. If I'm such an embarrassment, then you can leave and do whatever you want. But understand this (getting in her face). I. Saved. Your. Life.
This made Lady Death mad but Peter wasn't finish.
Peter: If it wasn't for me, you would Lucifer's sex toy. His slave. His cocksleeve. And you wouldn't have anything to say about it at all. Got it?
Lady Death saw anger and rage in his eyes as he continued.
Peter: I don't care if you like me. Hell, I don't care if you hate me. But you will show respect. Do what ever you want but stop complaining about your predicament because the reality is without me, you wouldn't even be here.
Peter began to leave and walked upstairs to his bedroom leaving Lady Death stunned.
-Elsewhere-
Three shadowed female figures stood on a rooftop in New York.
#1: Glad you two could make it. I was wondering when you'd arrive.
#2: I'm surprised you're still alive. Why did you call us?
#1: One of ours is back from Hell and I know exactly where to go find her.
#3: No way. Lady Death is back. It's been twenty years since we last saw her.
#2: Indeed it has. Do you still plan on killing her?
#1: Of course I do. We'll be going there tomorrow at night. I can't wait to to finally get what I long desired. Come we can get there sooner by leaving right now.
The first figure left.
#3: She's gonna lose again easily.
#2: Definitely.
The two followed at the first.
-The Next Day/Peter's House-
Peter woke up and got dressed as he mentally prepared for the day. He got dressed after taking a shower and went downstairs. To his surprise, he saw Lady Death still standing in the same spot.
Peter: You're still here.
Lady Death: Of course, I'm still here, you idiot. After last night where you to me to do whatever I want, it actually surprised me. I wanted do just that but I couldn't. I don't know but I just couldn't. Don't get me wrong, your words still pissed me off. Never do that again.
Peter: You are really stubborn, you know that?
Lady Death: I'm more than aware. I had the freedom to do what I want despite being married to you yet I couldn't do anything. What was I suppose to do? I don't even have a home anymore.
Peter: And you call me an idiot.
Lady Death turned to him with a scowl. Peter's look didn't change
Peter: This is your home and you are more than free to leave and come back whenever you want. I get you've been in Hell for over 400 years and all but it's different here Lady D. You're not in Hell anymore.
This caused to Lady Death's appearance to soften. She hadn't even consider that.
Peter: Look I get this isn't what you wanted, I didn't want this either but we have to make this work. We don't have to say I love you but we need to get along.
Lady Death considered his words before walking towards him.
Lady Death: Fine, I'll agree to this.
Peter: Before that...
Peter tried to punch Lady Death before feeling a hit to his stomach and falling to his knees.
Lady Death: (Trying not to laugh) What was that?
Peter: This is to make us even.
Lady Death smiled at this as Peter tried to stand up.
Peter: I forgot to mention. My name is Peter Parker.
Lady Death: Not a bad name I guess.
The two began to shake hands. Soon enough, Peter got an alert on his phone. He saw the text.
Come to Avengers Tower with your new wife.
We need to talk.
-The Tungsten Gentlemen
Lady Death: Who's the Tungsten Gentlemen?
Peter: That's Iron Man. I don't know why he calls himself that. We better get going.
Peter changed into his Spider-Man suit and left the house with Lady Death.
To be continued...

I'm not sure if I did a good job but I really appreciate it if you truly liked it. Next time, Lady D meets all the other heroes and some old acquaintances. Comment if you like this chapter or you have a problem with it. See ya!
