**Spideypool. Again "*" means place a bad word there. :)**

Deadpool couldn't get Spider-Man out of his head. The more he thought about the vigilante, the more in love he felt. And that was strange, Deadpool only had to think of Spider-Man to get all the goofy feelings of love.

But that didn't matter right now. No, what mattered was his mission. He had to kill Peter Benjamin Parker, apparently the teenager who ruined the life of Adrian Toomes. Adrian also produced records of Peter stealing highly advanced technology to steal and kill with, so Deadpool though he was doing what was best for everyone.

Aiming his gun at the brown haired boys head, Deadpool felt a surge of guilt course through him. But that was weird, because he had never felt guilty about killing someone before. Just like his new found love, Deadpool was experiencing a new, unfamiliar feeling. But Deadpool pushed that aside as he pulled the trigger.

Peter was dead.

Deadpool leaped through the window of the teenager room, hoping to find suitable evidence to bring back to Toomes. Looking around, Deadpool couldn't find an inch of illegal documents or technology. But what Deadpool did find was the Spider-Man suit.

"No," Deadpool shook his head as if trying to avoid the situation. He checked the suit, trying to prove it was a costume. It wasn't. No matter how much Deadpool wanted it be, that suit was the realest deal. "Damn it!"

Deadpool felt the guilt and love he had once had morph into a sickening rage. And all that anger was directed at one person, Adrian Toomes. Deadpool slid out of the window and went to find the son of a *.

Deadpool killed him. He gave Adrian a slow, very painful death. It was what that man deserved. And Deadpool didn't care if Spider-Man didn't want him to kill, that man deserved to die.

Deadpool then proceeded to go to a portal. One that led straight to the Underworld where Death kept her trophies and the other souls. Deadpool would get Peter back, no matter what the cost was.

Death wasn't pleased to have a live soul in her domain. This was her realm, and she could do whatever she wanted, so what mortal would be stupid enough to visit Death herself? Death, unfortunately, had to meet this soul.

The soul wasn't like other people who came down to plead and beg for a life to come back. No, this one demanded it. This one was willing to give up everything, but he wasn't going to say that. This one was stubborn and cruel, and fueled by rage, not guilt, grief, or sadness.

Death gave the soul a proposal. A life for a life. This is what the soul responded with, "I can get you a life, but it won't be mine. There are plenty of murderers, rapists, and kidnappers up on Earth. Take your pick, and I'll personally deliver them."

Death knew this soul was either brave or stupid. Most likely both. But how could she refuse such a good deal? She spoke again. "I'll give you this soul you seek, Peter Benjamin Parker, but in exchange, I want your assistance. I will be your employer, you mercenary. I give you the list of names, I expect them dead in a week."

"I won't kill good, innocent people," The soul spoke back. It seemed fair to Death so she agreed. No one liked killing for death, most souls never even saw her in person. But this one soul, the one that was stupid and brave, the one that was clever and quick witted, saw her and got exactly what he wanted.

Peter didn't know he had died. Or he did, but he didn't remember the experience. He was alive, then dead, and now he was alive again. Somehow Deadpool knew who he was, but he wasn't sure why. Peter didn't know who had killed him, much less who had rescued him.

Deadpool told Peter everything, from Toomes to his deal with death to his murdering of Peter. The teenager listened, his feelings shifting throughout the whole story. Deadpool even confessed his strange feelings for Peter.

Peter forgave Wade, Deadpool's alter ego, and even said he would give a relationship a shot. Peter said he didn't like the deal Wade had made, but he was grateful for him bringing him back from the dead.
