《what a strange name》ch.8
Advertisement
I'm sitting on the couch next to Steven when Peter walks out of his room and makes a bowl of cereal.
He walks over and sits in front of the couch, watching the news with us.
"so Peter, how would you feel about staying home today. You'll just be coming back here anyway." I say, tapping his shoulder.
"oh yeah! I forgot that was today!" He says, putting his bowl into the sink. "I'd rather join my class. Try not to embarrass me!" He says, running up to his room.
When he comes back out he is wearing a dress shirt, dress pants, and a red tie. I walk over to him and pin his old intern badge to his shirt.
"now Friday will embarrass you for me." I say, ruffling his hair. I walk him outside and watch him get on his bike and ride off.
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
I get to the school and lock up my bike. Everyone is waiting outside for the bus. I walk over to the teacher and sign in.
I see wade talking to ned and mj. I slowly walk up behind them, signaling to wade to be quiet. I throw my arms around ned and mj.
We all laugh and talk until the bus arrives. "Don't you live like, near stark tower?" Mj says, looking confused.
"um... Something like that. I don't get why we need to get on the bus. I can just ride my bike." I say, remembering that only wade knows I got adopted by mr.stark and dr.strange.
As we sit down, flash sees my name tags and points it out. "look! He even made a fake id badge! How lame!" He says, just like all the times I wore it to school during my 'internship'
"its real. It's not possible to fake a stark industries ID." Wade says, sitting down next to me. We talk and laugh until we get to stark tower. It only took 2 minutes.
The class walks into the tower and through security. I just hope mr.stark changed fridays nickname for me.
I'm the last one to walk through the gate. "welcome back, Peter stark." Friday says, making my stomach sink.
"wow. He even made it call him stark! What a narc!" Flash yells, only to be cut off by Mr.rogers putting a hand on his shoulder.
"That's not very nice, kid." Mr.rogers says, looking at flash. "but he hacked the system!" Flash says, trying to explain himself.

"are you sure? I don't think tony would be happy if Peter hacked his AI." Mr.rogers motions me by name. Uh oh.
"now, my friend and I will give you a tour." As he says this, mr.barnes walks out of the elevator, waving at me. I wave back and wade tries his best not to laugh.
"my name is mr.barnes. oh and Peter, tony asked me to give you your snack. You forgot it." He says, walking over to me and handing me a small brown paper bag.
"thanks" I say quietly, trying not to make a scene. Too late. "How do you know peter?" Flash asks, looking at Mr.rogers.
Mr.rogers looks at me and raises an eyebrow. I shake my head, id rather mr.stark or dr.strange tell everyone.
"he is tonys personal intern. Tony makes him lunch and snacks since Peter is to young for the paid internship program." He says.
Flash is quiet for the rest of the tour. At lunch we all go into one of the meeting rooms to eat. Wade, Ned, mj, and I sit at a table all to ourselves. I remember that I forgot to pack my lunch.
The room suddenly falls silent. I look at the door and see mr.stark and dr.strange walk in, holding three brown paper bags.
Everyone watches silently as they walk over to the table me and my friends are sitting at, and sit down.
"hey kid" dr.strange says, passing a bag. "hey dad... dads." I say, not sure how I should address them now that they adopted me.
I hear a loud gasp from ned and mj looks at me, seeming surprised. Suddenly flash breaks the silence that the other students were holding.
"did you just say dads? How narcissitic can you be?" He half yells, somewhat angrily. Tony turns around and glares at flash.
"did you call my son narcissitic? That's a lot comeing from the kid who tried to get their dad to pay their way into an internship." Tony says, before turning back to his food.
"son?" A random student says. Mr.stark looks at me, ignoreing the questions from the class. "when you get back, we have a press conference." He says, casually.
"ok. Can wade come along?" I ask, gestureing to wade. Wade smiles at them and takes another note of his sandwich. "sure, why not. But just wade. I'm pretty sure anyone else would be to much." Mr.stark says.

"do you need a suit? I know a great tailor." Dr.strange says, turning to look at wade. Wade opens his mouth to object, but I cut him off before he can.
"yeah. He doesn't have a suit." I say, pointing out the fact that his 'dress attire' is jeans and a button up.
Wade looks at me and smiles. I don't know what I did to deserve someone so amazing.
(at the press conference)
Me and wade are backstage, waiting for our cue. "I would like to introduce my son, Peter!" Mr.stark says.
I walk out on stage and I'm met with camera flashes and questions. I learned to handle the camera flashes pretty fast.
"and his guest for tonight, wade wilson!" Dr.strange says, gestureing to the curtain. Wade walks out, joining me by my side.
After the press git some questions answered, happy drove wade to his house, an the rest of us went to the pent house.
What a day.
After chilling out for a few hours, I put on my suit and go on patrol. I stopped a purse thief, helped an old lady cross the road, and then I saw wade in his deadpool suit, sitting on a roof.
I swing over to him and I can already tell he's crying. I walk over and sit down next go him. "wade? Are you ok?" I say, putting a hand on his shoulder as I take off my mask.
He flinches away and grabs a piece of paper that was next to him and shoved it in his pocket. "yeah, I'm fine." He says, as I take his mask off to wipe his tears.
His face is covered in bruises and his nose is bleeding. I don't even stop to stare, I just wipe his eyes and kiss his forehead.
"you don't look fine. Who did this to you?" I ask, keeping my voice calm and caring. I'm met with only silence.
"my-... a guy outside my house." He says, his voice getting higher like it always does when he lies.
"Wade. Please." I say, holding his hand gently. He wipes his tears and looks into my eyes, seeing of he can trust me.
"my mom. But its ok! It happens a lot! Really I'm ok!" He says, putting his hands out in front of him.
I put my mask back on and hand wades to him. He puts it on, confused. I hold his waist and swing back to the alley by stark towers. I swing into my room and get him some clothes.
I look away as he changes out of his suit and into my clothes. I take his hand gently and lead him inside, through the back way, around security and reception. I take him directly to the pent house.
We walk out of the elevator and he still has tears in his eyes. I hold his hand gently as we walk into the living room. The avengers are all watching a movie when we walk in.
Clint turns around to greet me and falls silent when he sees wade. He taps ms.romanoff on the arm and gestures to wade. Surprisingly they were the only ones who noticed.
Ms.romanoff walks over and leads us to the elevator."what happened?" Clint says, concerend.
"his mom beat him up. I found him crying on a roof. I never knew his mom was abusive." I say, hiding the fact that he's deadpool. Ms.romanoff looks at wade sadly.
It's only now that I understand why he was so fast to grab that paper. It was a suicide note. Why didn't I realize that? How could I be so stupid?
We get to the med bay and walk into one of the rooms. "lay down on this table." clint says, patting a metal table. Wade lays down.
"Friday, scan him for inguries." I say, still holding wades hand. "it appears he has several bruises on his face, and stomach. Likely from a blunt object."
Jesus Christ. "what type of blunt object?" Clint says. "it appears to be from a bat. There appears to be 7 in digested pills in his stomach and very high levels of the same medication in his blood stream." Oh god, no. "call dr.strange down to med bay room 3" ms.ramanoff says.
Then I feel the grip on my hand loosen and fall. I look at him to see that he passed out. No, not like this, not him.

Adagio of the Enlightened
The Elders will tell you the stories and lore. Of our ancestors, their deeds, and of the foes of yore. They will praise to you the chariot, and how it flew to the stars. How it stole the sun's light and slew the night’s roar.The Shamans will tell you the tales of their wisdom. Their wars on schism, and the unlettered world of ours before. Perhaps they will sing you the songs of what our clans' ancient customs tore. Poems of how our ancestors took what the discs had offered them, the manna and the mundane, and made it more.The kings will tell you of the follies, the sins, and the anecdotes of all our ancestors' wrongs. They will curse to you their names, the Ender of Fate and the Ruined Song. How they had dug up the hearts of the discs, euchred its relics, and blasphemed its prophecies, with oracles withdrawn.But they will only tell you the legends, recount the myths, and sing the allegories washed ashore.The Elders, the Shamans, and the kings can only retell what the storytellers of their own time had voiced. What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened. They were never there.They can't tell you how our ancestors slew the angels from the sky, and sent them back to where they belonged. How they poisoned our minds, and made our people slothful and feeble, with the reforms they had undergone.But I can.I can tell you how the Ender of Fate severed destiny's strings, weakened them, and weaved them to our feeble flesh and souls.I can tell you how the Ruined song razed the heavens with her blood-stained melody, and reshaped our hell into utopia, with the deaths she deplored.Because I was there. I can tell you the truth, with my virtue strong. ----> Disclaimer: This will be a slow-burn, character-driven, non-harem, slice-of-life web novel with cultivation and kingdom-building elements.

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).

The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.
