Pools of love (Gwenpool x male reader)

Charity

Y/n stands behind the gate to Mojo's arena, preparing Gwenpool's fifth opponent. They could hear the muffled shouts of Mojo over the intercom.

Mojo: HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING TONIGHT?!

Y/n: You're not gonna hurt her too much, right?

???: Don't worry yourself, baldy. Ægon told us to let your girl win.

Y/n: Yeah I know, I asked if you were going to hurt her.

The mystery fighter smirks at Y/n, however not in a belittling way, more of an amused admiration. They place their hand on his shoulder in a supportive manner and smile at him.

???: I'll be as delicate as possible, but I still have to make it look real.

They friendlily slap his arm before their gate raises and they prepare to enter the coliseum.

Mojo: Gwenpool's penultimate opponent is a cosmic class certified badass who flies around space delivering justice! Give it up for... Carol Danvers AKA Ms. Marvel!

The mystery fighter is revealed to be an alternate version of Gwen and Y/n's Captain Marvel, only instead of a cool red and blue suit: she wore a sleeveless black costume more akin to a swimsuit. She wore thigh high black boots and black gloves that reached all the way up to her upper arms. On her face was a black eyemask and a golden lightning bolt ran down the torso of her costume. Finally: a red sash tied around her waist- the only similarity between herself and the Carol Danvers firm their Earth.

Gwenpool: What in the Incredibles is this?

Mojo: BEGIN!

Danvers rises into the air and blasts two photon blasts towards Gwen. She backflips away and the energy beams tunnel into the blue and yellow sands. Gwenpool throws a boomerang at Carol who catches it and stares in confusion at Gwenpool's odd choice of weapon. Gwen uses her allotted time to shoot Danvers point blank with a sniper rifle.

Mojo: OH! Looks like Gwenpool's opponents still haven't learned that you don't take your eyes off of her for a second!

Mojo had a point, but it was null with Danvers. The crowd watches in awe as the super heroine does not even appear phased by the bullet.

Gwenpool: This may have been a mismatch.

Y/n watches from behind the gate as Ægon approaches, unknown to Y/n. He flinches when he talks.

Ægon: We will inform her of our plan if she wins.

Y/n: Jeez... can't you wave or something? I'd be pretty impressed if she loses, it's all been rigged.

They peer through the bars, Gwen has punched Carol in the face and is currently recoiling in pain. Danvers grabs her by the collar and throws her high into the air.

Y/n: Yeah, if she wins...

As she soars through the air: Gwen racks her brain to stop herself from falling to either death or a serious injuries. From her 4th wall shattering bag of tricks she pulls out an entire hand-glider and soars down to a soft descent.

Ægon: Where-

Y/n: -Don't, just don't.

Ms. Marvel shoots a photon blast which tears a hole through Gwen's glider- sending her tumbling to the ground. Carol pins Gwen to the ground but is quickly thrown off in a surprising display of skill from Gwen.

Gwenpool: It's gonna take a lot more than hurting me to hurt me!

Despise her confusion: the sniper round to the face taught Carol not to let Gwen distract her with idiocy. She swings a few punches at Gwen who just about manages to dodge them all before trying a tactic of her own: pepper spray.

Ms. Marvel: GAH!

Danvers may be able to be hit with a moving truck and not suffer a scratch; but the non-lethal attack stung at her eyes and made her lose her footing.

Mojo: WHAT A MOVE!

Ægon: Anything else in that bag I should know about?

Y/n: Honestly, it's best not to ask.

Gwen lugs an anvil over to Carol and drops it on her head, burying Danvers' face in the sand. The superheroine goes limp to the stunned silence of the arena spectators.

Mojo: Get a medic, NOW!

The match ends abruptly and Gwen is escorted away. Cut to her, Y/n and their friends as they sat around in the bustling area behind the scenes.

Y/n: So what happens now?

Kate Bishop: If Gwen's opponent isn't dead: she wins the match.

Gwenpool: So I lose if she's dead?

Old Man Logan: Not quite.

Captain Carter: If Danvers is pronounced dead then Gwen will be exiled from the Mojoverse.

Y/n: That's good isn't it? We go home.

Scarlet Spider: You think Mojo would be that charitable? He'll send you to Earth-2149.

Y/n: What's Earth-2149?

Captain Carter: One of the infinite earths from across the multiverse.

Old Man Logan: And a nasty one at that, all the heroes and villains were infected with a virus that turned them into manic parasites.

Kate Bishop: Superpowered zombies.

Scarlet Spider: We had another friend once, John Walker. He was a variant of Captain America. He accidentally killed Hank Pym, a variant of Ant-Man.

Old Man Logan: Poor guy got sent away to die.

The group sits in silence for a moment. Elsewhere: Mojo and Ægon stand over Carol Danvers' unconscious body. The medics made it clear that she was expected to make a full recovery by the end of the day given her powers.

Mojo: We could just say she died, it gets Gwenpool off of our hands. She's proving to be a problem.

Ægon: Do you not pride yourself on your honesty? The girl will not defeat me, no one ever has.

Mojo: And what if she does? We'll have to let her go.

Ægon: Gwenpools are a dime a dozen. Why concern yourself if one gets away?

A tense silence grows between the two, Mojo's chair elevates and he rises above Ægon. Bearing down upon him.

Mojo: See to it that you win tomorrow. She isn't the only replaceable one in this place.

Ægon does not appear intimidated by his sweaty overlord and leaves without a word. He later appears to Gwen's group in the fighter's area.

Gwenpool: Oh, this guy.

Ægon: Your fight stands, tomorrow will decide whether you achieve freedom or enslavement.

Gwenpool: I don't suppose you plan on taking it easy on me?

As the only one who isn't in on the plan: Gwen smirks whilst the others stare at Ægon, encouraging him to tell her the plan.

Gwenpool: What? Why isn't anyone saying anything?

Ægon kneels to meet the eye level of the group, making eye contact with Y/n one last time before beginning his explanation.

Ægon: This is what will happen: we will have four teams...
