Spider-Man's POV
I watched as my boyfriend vanished along with the other enemy, leaving me momentarily speechless. However, I quickly shifted my focus back to my own opponent. I kept dodging his attacks, using my strength, webs, and electricity while trying to strategize how to deal with him.
Unexpectedly, I got a little help.
The ice gorilla that Immortal had left behind grabbed hold of Doctor Octopus's physical body and some of his mechanical arms. Seeing this, I seized the opportunity to immobilize his remaining arms with stronger, denser webs and prepared to attack his main body.
Sparks of bluish-green electricity flickered in my hands.
"A few energy-charged punches should do the trick... A good beating always helps... or so my boyfriend and uncle like to say," I mused.
Following the family trend, I planned to pummel him with all my strength. However, in my focus, I failed to notice another figure approaching—a person clad in strange mechanical gear with glowing yellow eyes peering out from a helmet.

### MC's POV
After a few minutes of fun, the rhino villain was unconscious. About a minute ago, I got a message from Peter that he'd finished his fight.
With that, I teleported back to his side, leaving the rhino's body lightly encased in ice. Looking over at Doctor Octopus, I noticed his mechanical arms were partially broken, his body marked with bruises and injuries—a clear result of a thorough beating.
"A good beating? Good job."
I gave him a light high five. Of course, a kiss would have been better... but now wasn't the time.
"What now, Immortal?"
At his question, I noticed a notification flash before me:
**
"Authorities should be arriving soon, so we need to leave," I said as I began walking, preparing to handle a few things before using **Kai Kai** to teleport us out.
However, I stopped mid-step.
"Love—Immortal, what's wrong?" Peter asked, frowning.
I waved my fingers subtly, forming a yellow energy shield around us. The moment it appeared, Peter quickly turned his head, as if something had alerted him.

A loud, maniacal laugh rang out, followed by bombs striking my shield. These bombs weren't just explosive—they released a thick orange smoke that quickly spread.
I extended my **Haki** to sense the surroundings and conjured a lance of light in my left hand outside the barrier. My eyes pierced through the fog, identifying the enemy on the other side. He was flying on what appeared to be a hoverboard, wearing armor that covered most of his body. In one of his arms, he carried Doctor Octopus using raw strength.
He hurled two more bombs at us, but I didn't even flinch. As his laughter echoed, he clearly began to flee.
I wasn't about to let him run his show and escape. I hurled the lance of light directly at his chest. However, as I guided the lance toward him, my brow furrowed, and I diverted the attack at the last moment.
"Hahaha—Agh!" he screamed in pain. The lance wasn't fatal, but it left a deep wound in his right leg.
"What happened? Did you take him out?" Peter asked.
I stayed silent, my mind racing. His energy felt... different, but it reminded me of a friend's father. This complicated things.
"Let's let them retreat for now," I sighed.
"We need to leave."
Peter didn't seem to understand, but he didn't question me either. Raising my left arm, I unleashed massive gusts of wind to disperse the lingering smoke.
Then, I drew my wand, its tip glowing with vibrant magical energy. I raised both arms and began casting spells. The damaged structures around us started to repair themselves slowly, creating a beautiful and almost surreal scene.
"At least I'm trying to be a superhero who doesn't wreck the social landscape too much," I murmured.
Once everything was set, I teleported Peter and myself out of the area. I wasn't planning to stick around to attract attention from any organization—this world was complex enough, and who knew what might show up?

Moments later, vehicles from some organization arrived on the scene. To my surprise, they weren't from SHIELD, the CIA, the FBI, or even the military.

Unlike the usual aircraft or containment vehicles, the ones approaching were distinct—marked with the acronym **A.I.M.**
If I had known, I might have investigated further.
The individuals exiting the vehicles included not only armed personnel equipped with visibly advanced technology but also several scientists who seemed fascinated by the transformed individual in front of them.
Without hesitation, the man who appeared to be in charge ordered the captive to be loaded into the vehicle.
"Let's go. His technology isn't exactly our priority, but it could provide some interesting data."
The giant was lifted using something like mechanical arms and placed inside the vehicle. Just as quickly as they appeared, they vanished. By the time other groups arrived at the scene, there was no evidence of a major battle—nothing left to indicate what had taken place.

Now, I found myself in a different setting—a small hideout I'd set up in Florida. Sitting there, still dressed in my gear, I removed the mist, my mask, and my hood.
"Claim the reward."
As soon as I spoke, the space around me shifted.
Before me appeared a golden palace with enormous, magnificent magical doors. They opened swiftly, and an immense, blue-skinned woman emerged, exuding a calm and gentle aura. Her body was adorned with feathers, and she wore what resembled a delicate crown.
"Fascinating. A new world, and..." Her gaze settled on me.
"A new king."
"One who appears more powerful and worthy than any I've encountered. It is an honor to serve you, my king. I am **Phoenix**, the Djinn of Kindness, Healing, and Mediation," she said, bowing with respect and reverence.
"The honor is mine," I replied with equal respect and gratitude.
She smiled warmly.
"A wise king," she said.
Her form began to shift, and an image of a massive, pink phoenix materialized behind her. Slowly, her essence transformed into an item, coalescing into a floating ring.
I chose the ring myself—it had a gold base with a diamond-like pink gem at its center. From the ring and its power came two connections.
The first was a small link to my soul. The second was a connection to my internal energy.
Healing and vitality properties began to integrate with my energy. Even without actively using it, I noticed that my body seemed more resilient and filled with life—perhaps even with slight regenerative abilities. Although passive, it was far weaker compared to its active potential.
Smiling with satisfaction, I started organizing a few things in the hideout. This base was relatively basic and far weaker than my main one but would still serve its purpose.

About a week after the major event, **Danny** contacted me again. I was in the hideout when he reached out.
[Dad]: Sorry, son. We've been gone for about a month now... but it'll still take a few more weeks. We won't finish everything we're working on, but I want to complete a portion of it—at least enough to recover 60%.
I didn't fully understand his message, but I didn't mind much.
[Me]: Okay, Dad. Don't worry, be careful out there, you and Mom. Whenever you need me, I'm here. Brother's doing fine too. He misses you both, but I've been spending a lot of time with him, cooking new things and even taking him out for some fun.
My brother and I both missed them deeply, but we were strong. I had kept him entertained and cheerful using my magic. I even took him on a one-day trip to another country, using my spatial abilities.
When I put my phone away I saw Danny standing a little embarrassed in front of me.
