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."

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

The Phoenix rolled its eyes as its flames flared, blinding Peter as it encompassed the entire space. "Goodbye, Peter..."

"Hey… wait a minute-" As the fire of the Phoenix encompassed him, Peter felt a sense of closure before returning back to his bedroom, where he found MJ cuddled up next to him, sleeping with her head on his chests. 'Did she have to scare me like that?' Peter thought as he wrapped his arms around his fiancé and drifted off to sleep once again.

Months after Batman and Superman returned to their universe and the peculiar encounter with the Phoenix, Peter life settled into a familiar rhythm. The adrenaline-fueled escapades with interdimensional heroes and cosmic entities gave way to the everyday challenges of being a normal person.

One significant change in Peter's life involved the official adoption of America Chavez, the dimension-hopping little girl. Now proudly carrying the name America Chavez Parker, she became a full-fledged member of the Parker family. However, since she wasn't from this world, she didn't have any papers, which were needed for the adoption.

Peter, seasoned in the art of forging identities at this point, took charge of securing America's place in this world. Birth certificates, social security numbers, and a trail of paperwork were orchestrated seamlessly, ensuring America's newfound identity was recognized by the institutions of this reality. She adapted swiftly to her new life, and the Parker household gained another occupant.

While Peter was busy sorting out legal matters, life outside his immediate concerns kept moving as well. A surprising turn of events graced the lives of those closest to him. Tony Stark, the genius billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, found himself facing an unexpected role, fatherhood. Pepper, his longtime companion, revealed that she was pregnant, a revelation that reverberated through the Avengers' community.

A couple months into Pepper's pregnancy, the news brought a unique mix of joy and astonishment to every Avenger. Tony, known for his man-wh*ring and hatred of children, suddenly had a baby on the way, and yet, he embraced the prospect of becoming a father with anticipation. The impending arrival of a Stark heir became a topic of discussion among the Avengers, marking a different kind of adventure for the eccentric genius.

Meanwhile, in the heart of New York City, Peter and MJ embarked on another monumental journey… the planning of their wedding. The process, driven by MJ's meticulous attention to detail, Aunt May's maternal guidance, and the support of MJ's mother, Grace, unfolded with its fair share of laughter and occasional stress. Peter, being the easygoing groom that he is, offered his ideas when prompted but willingly let the women in his life steer the ship.

The bridal gowns, floral arrangements, and venue selections became the focal points of discussion during family gatherings and late-night planning sessions. Aunt May, having been through the joys and challenges of Peter's superhero life, was determined to make this wedding a memorable celebration.

In the midst of mundane yet meaningful tasks, Peter couldn't help but reflect on the journey that led him to this point. From interdimensional adventures to facing cosmic entities, his life was a tapestry woven with threads of the extraordinary. Yet, in the quiet moments of planning a wedding and preparing paperwork for adoption, the ordinary part of his life became the harder part.

Soon enough, the day of Peter and MJ's wedding finally arrived, and New York City embraced the occasion with clear skies and a gentle breeze. The chosen venue, a picturesque garden adorned with vibrant flowers and elegant decorations, set the stage for a celebration that would mark the union of two extraordinary lives.

As the ceremony drew near, Peter, clad in a classic black suit, nervously awaited his bride at the altar. Beside him, Tony and Ned stood in their own suits, each of them chosen to be Peter's best men. He didn't want to exclude either of them, so he made them both his best man, which seemed to work as neither had any complaints.

The subtle hum of excitement resonated through the air, mingling with the soft whispers of family and friends who gathered for this special day. Aunt May, beaming with pride, sat in the front row close to Peter, offering words of encouragement as she observed the guests arriving.

Stepping out of a private room, MJ, dressed in a breathtaking white gown that flowed gracefully around her, found her father, Nick Fury, waiting for her. The stern and formidable Avengers Councilman softened as he looked at his daughter, conveying the depth of his emotions on this significant day. "You look beautiful."

"Thanks." MJ smiled nervously, anxiety pulsing through her entire body.

Fury, dressed in a tailored suit, offered MJ his arm as they prepared to walk down the aisle. "Are you sure you want to marry him?"

MJ rolled her eyes. "Yes, Dad. Why else would we be here if I didn't want to marry him?" She sighed in annoyance. After all, this is the fifth time he's asked her this today. "Besides, you like Peter. I know you do…"

"…" Fury held his tongue, refusing to confirm or deny anything. 'That b*stard is lucky I can't kill him…'

…

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.
