Pools of love (Gwenpool x male reader)

Gwen slanders Taco Bell

In a flashback sequence, we see Y/n and his sister- perhaps a year or two before he met Gwen. His sister is deathly sick and he is leading her towards a run down area of Manhattan. Her shaky hands rattle her crutches as her coughs smoulder in the cold.

Reed Richards: Get Diablo!

The villain who has now been identified as Diablo drinks a substance from a vial on his belt. Reed's extended hand barrels towards him only to be met with fire breath.

Gwen: Me when Taco Bell.

Johnny surges towards Diablo but he manages to sidestep the Human Torch and throws another one of his concoctions at him- causing his signature flames to turn to steam.

Johnny Storm: Huh?

A clean left hook from Diablo knocks him down to the ground. The alchemist feels a rocky hand grab his ankle and looks up to find Ben Grimm as he throws Diablo through several trees. Ben, Susan and Gwen creep towards the villain who drinks yet another potion. This one creates a mystical force field around his body. His fist slams against Grimm's and some small pebbles shatter off of The Thing's knuckles.

Y/n and his sister shuffle through the house, wading through other vulnerable people and less than friendly looking men in matching jackets. Either a gang or hired muscle. They approach an unwell looking man behind a dishevelled desk who waves them over.

Sickly Man: Do you have an appointment?

Ben screams out in agony as Diablo kicks him away with such power that he too goes straight through some trees. Y/n dives away from the incoming golem, rolling himself and HERBIE across the dirt ground.

HERBIE: Recalibrating...

Y/n: You good, Ben?

Back at the fight, Susan fires a circular force field at Diablo that simply shatters due to the effect of his elixir. Once the potion wears off, he begins hand to hand combat with Gwen. She begins to take the fight home, even snatching one of his solutions.

Gwen: Ha!

She chugs it, then keels over and throws up repeatedly. Diablo attempts to run but Susan erects another force field in front of him which he promptly runs in to. The combined might of Y/n and HERBIE is used to help Ben to his feet. They look around to find Johnny unconscious; Reed and Gwen too pained to help.

Y/n: We're here to see the doctor, we have an appointment in five minutes.

The Sickly Man gestures to a set of waiting benches.

Sickly Man: See me again in five minutes.

Y/n: Is The Doctor occupied?

Sickly Man: No, he is particular. As am I.

He gestures to the waiting bench once again.

Susan fires multiple blasts at Diablo which eventually knock him off of his feet. He drinks another of his vials and shrinks to a insect stature. He runs through her legs and grows back to full size behind her. He cups both of his hands and claps down hard on her ears- bursting both her eardrums. She falls to the ground in nausea.

Diablo: Better luck next time, heroes.

He turns to leave and comes face to face once again with Ben Grimm. Y/n rushes to Gwen and rubs her back in an effort to help her stop puking. This works and she pops a mint into her mouth.

Gwen: Thanks, Y/n. Wishing we got that hotel room yet?

Y/n chuckles. Ben punches Diablo into the ground and wails on him, punching his vials to a pulp. He then spits sand on him.

The Thing: Dick.

Y/n and his sister look around the waiting area. Paint is peeling off of the walls and mould congregates on the ceiling. Neither of the siblings were very confident in their choice to come here. Various ill people littered both the benches and the floor. Some coughing some sweating. There were a small amount of people like Y/n- not ill, just looking after their relatives.

Sickly Man: The Doctor will see you now.

The Thing picks up Diablo one last time and throws him down to the ground. Y/n and HERBIE join him (Gwen makes Y/n carry her).

The Thing: Man, I hate that guy.

The other members of The Four regain their senses, Susan trapping Diablo in a force field. The bruised villain's face locks eyes with Y/n. Even in his cell, he erupts in maniacal laughter, shaking Y/n to his very core.

Gwen: I really shouldn't have drank that mystery potion...

Y/n: I'm glad you're okay.

Gwen: Aww, you're being nice again!

She smooches his cheek, Reed and Susan smile at the young duo.

Y/n and his sister enter The Doctor's office. He greets the duo with an unapologetically sly smile.

Diablo: Greetings friends, what ails you?

Y/n: My sister has leukaemia, we can't afford hospital treatment and we hear you charge affordable rates.

Diablo: Of course friends, I would be more than happy to help you. My charge is not monetary, instead I am paid in loyalty. I must warn you, if you or any family ever betray me in any way: there will be dire consequences. The effects of my elixir will reverse, causing irreparable damage. Is this something you can live with?

Y/n and his sister share a long glance before they come to a decision.

Y/n: It is.

Diablo: Then, we are in business.

He shakes hands with Y/n and his sister drains the substance from the bottle. Almost instantaneously- her skin changes from deathly pale to exuberant and healthy. Her crutches drop right to the floor as she laughs with glee.

Y/n: You did it! Thank you.

Diablo: Think nothing of it friends, just remember your debt.

His friendly demeanour drops almost instantly as he says this to Y/n.

Johnny Storm: So, what are we gonna do with him?

The Thing: You wanna beat him up some more?

Johnny Storm: I could go for that.

Susan Storm: Boys, please. Let's try and approach this responsibly.

HERBIE: Dr. Richards, this man is a highly dangerous figure, I would recommend-

A giant blast of rainbow light slams down in front of the troupe, the silhouette of a woman can be seen past the glow. As it faded, she was revealed to be clad in battle armour.

Thor: I shall be taking your well earned victory with me.

Johnny Storm: Who the hell are you?

Thor: I am Thor.

All people present are seemingly confused by this revelation.

Thor: Let me guess, you were expecting Odinson?
