The night after Peter dropped Batman and Superman back into their universe, he found himself drifting into a deep and peaceful sleep beside his beautiful fiancé, MJ. As he slumbered, the tranquility of the night took an unexpected turn. Suddenly, Peter's consciousness transitioned to an expansive, white void... a space that seemed to exist outside the confines of the waking world.

In this ethereal space, Peter looked around, perplexed by the surreal nature of his surroundings. The emptiness was overwhelming, and as he sought to make sense of it, he suddenly beheld a towering, fiery bird, the Phoenix Force. Recognition dawned on Peter, recalling their previous encounters when he aided in saving Jean Grey from the destructive path the Phoenix had been treading.

Facing the immense cosmic entity, Peter couldn't help but feel a mixture of awe and curiosity. "What brings you here?" he inquired, knowing that the Phoenix rarely manifested without a purpose.

The Phoenix, its fiery form pulsating with cosmic energy, regarded Peter with an otherworldly intensity. "You and I have unfinished business." It resonated, its voice echoing within the void.

Peter raised an eyebrow, his Spider-Sense tingling with anticipation. "Unfinished business? Is this about the deal we made? Didn't you say that I could do it in my own time?"

The Phoenix, in its majestic yet enigmatic way, began to unveil the nature of their cosmic pact. "Indeed, our arrangement was one of balance—a symbiosis. I allowed you to keep living after stealing the power of the Phoenix, and in return, you were to aid in the destruction of barren planets across the universe. The ashes of those worlds would serve as the fertile ground for new life, reborn through my cosmic flame."

Peter, thoughtful, nodded as he recalled the terms of their deal. "I remember. So what's this about?" He asked in annoyance, ready to get back to sleep. "I have to get up and work on some adoption papers in the morning, so can we make this quick?"

The Phoenix eyed Peter, holding back the urge to burn him into dust. "Things have changed... You found a different way to complete our deal. You've turned millions of desolate planets into flourishing paradises, and in doing so, you inadvertently fulfilled our agreement in a rather unexpected manner."

"Oh, that makes sense." Peter nods his head. "So... is our business finished?"

The Phoenix let out an uncharacteristic sigh. "Yes, our business is concluded. Although your actions align more with the preservation of life than its destruction, the outcome is still the same."

"So... we good?" Peter looked around, his tired eyes searching for the exit.

'Why was he so respectful to 'him,' but with me he's like... this.' The Phoenix thought, its ethereal flames pulsating with a sense of annoyance. "Yes, Peter, we are. Your actions have brought balance in its own way. The cosmic scales are tipped in favor of creation, and I find satisfaction in the life that now thrives across the cosmos. The cycle continues, and you have played your part."L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Peter turned around in a circle, looking for a way out. "Glad to hear that... So which way leads back to my bed?"

...

The ceremonial music filled the air as the flower girl, Lily, walked out in her dress, throwing flower pedals as she made her way down the isle, where she took a seat beside Aunt May and America.

Seconds later, MJ and Fury stepped into the garden, and the assembled guests turned their attention toward the father daughter duo. The sight of MJ in her wedding gown left Peter breathless, a moment of pure beauty that he would forever cherish.

As MJ approached the altar, Fury's gaze shifted between his daughter and Peter. A stern scowl adorned his face, a silent warning to the man who dared to claim his daughter's heart. Peter, under the watchful eye of Fury, smirked as he took MJ's hand. The unspoken tension hung in the air as Fury reluctantly handed over his daughter to the man she chose.

As Fury hesitantly walked over to his seat, Peter turned to MJ and whispered. "Is it just me, or did he reach for his gun for a second?"

MJ gave a small laugh. "Maybe, but I made sure he was unarmed before he came." She revealed, eliciting a raised brow from Peter. "Trust me, you don't want to know how many weapons he tried to smuggle inside."

The ceremony unfolded with poignant vows exchanged between Peter and MJ, their promises echoing through the garden. The officiant conducted the ceremony with a mix of solemnity and warmth. The couple's connection radiated, casting a spell that enveloped everyone present.

The exchanging of rings, a symbol of their commitment, marked a profound moment in the ceremony. Peter, with a mixture of joy and relief, slipped the ring onto MJ's finger, sealing their union. The gathered guests, a mix of family, friends, and a few carefully selected allies, witnessed the culmination of a love story that transcended all others.

As the officiant pronounced them husband and wife, Peter and MJ shared a passionate kiss, sealing their vows with an unspoken promise of a long future together. The garden erupted in cheers and applause, the joyous sound echoing through the air. Aunt May, teary-eyed and proud, clapped alongside the gathered guests, celebrating the union of two souls destined for each other.

...

After the ceremony, as the newlyweds mingled with their guests, Fury approached Peter with a glare that could pierce through walls. Reluctantly, he extended a hand to the man who now held his daughter's heart. The tension between them, a complex blend of protectiveness and acceptance, lingered in the air.

"Take care of her," Fury grumbled, his gaze unwavering. The 'or else' was unspoken but certainly implied.

Peter shook Fury's hand with a firm grip. "I promise, sir. I'll do everything in my power to make her happy." He would usually use this opportunity to mess with Fury, but just this once, Peter decided to be respectful.

Fury's glare softened slightly, a subtle acknowledgment of the sincerity in Peter's words. "See that you do," he replied, before turning away to join the celebration.

Later that night, Peter and MJ lay entwined in their marital bed. With a contented sigh, Peter broke the silence, "So, my beautiful wife, how do you feel about having our honeymoon in another Universe?"

"?!" MJ's eyes sparkled with immediate interest, the notion sparking excitement within her.
