Chương 3: Lady Death, Phoenix Force & Cosmic Entity Shenanigans [Edited]

Spectre POV:

I saw a macabre grin the likes only Lady Death herself could deliver on her beautiful face, I was honestly mesmerized by that grin, which is weird considering she is technically my predecessor's child/sibling well he was her progenitor, so technically I am her father, but at the same time she is older than me, and is my sibling, *exasperated mental sigh* this family is so complicated. deciding that was enough I began to talk with her and the Phoenix. "So do I pass?"

Lady Death somehow widening her grin even more responds affirmatively "Yes, you do, honestly I was skeptical when you seemed so composed in front of Infinity, but your reaction upon their disappearance cleared up whose side you are truly on. I am glad to not have lost you Oblivion, or Spectre even though you are not him, it feels great to confirm you are still on our side."

Chuckling softly, I respond "Oh you have no idea. When I sensed them coming, I literally felt a dark absolutely disgusting feeling overtake my very core. If it were not for my added concepts and the Absolute Personal Mastery ability TOAA gifted me, I would have most probably sealed Infinity in the Inescapable Lost Zone the moment she appeared in my Distorted World."

Lady Death raised an eyebrow and in surprised asked "Is it really Inescapable?"

Smirking visibly, I answered "Yes, it is, only omnipotent beings have a slim chance of escaping. I should know as a variant of myself, in a fit of pure rage, trapped another multiverse's equivalent of Infinity and Eternity in it, and they were powerless to escape once trapped."

Lady Death let out a long whistle "That would be so much fun, watching that repugnant Eternity be trapped with no way out, allowing me to finally claim all those disgusting immortals without restriction! HUMPH!"

The Phoenix quirking her eyebrow asked in interest "Would you be willing to help us deal with a few beings we want removed from our way, but not erased so they can suffer?"

I thought about it, normally they would both be able to end their problems, unless they want them to suffer, because channeling their inner Oblivion would end up erasing their enemies. "I would be very willing, but like the Living Tribunal warned it cannot lead to instability in the multiverse, I or an avatar, champion, etc. would need to be personally invited, and above all, if I am not personally invested in it what could I get in return?" I smiled wickedly at my destructive siblings.

The Phoenix in exasperation replied, "Fair enough, we could make a deal for something of roughly equal exchange every time we require your services, what do you think?"

"I would appreciate that, also no tricking my avatars, champions, etc. into doing it before letting me know about it."

This time both Lady Death and the Phoenix Force sighed sadly, after which they nodded their heads in agreement "We agree" they said.

"Alright, now before you both leave, is there something you want or need from me?"

Lady Death immediately asked what was on her mind. "Is there a way to make the Deadpool of your world able to become my lover without all these limitations I have on myself?"

"Honestly, yes there is, and I genuinely have no idea how you haven't thought of this before, but just make him your champion. That's it, even if he is alive, as Death's champion, you would have a connection to him, and there is no rule that says you can only have one champion, after all I know you almost always pick Hela from Asgard, so it would work the same way, and it would also give you an excuse to summon him to your realm either temporarily or even permanently until you need something dealt with. I seriously don't understand the problems you have been through throughout the multiverse to find a worthy lover, also just take this one as a family counseling you don't need to repay me for it."

Lady Death refused instantly "No, in the future I will allow one person to be brought back from the realm of the dead so long as you warn me in advance, as a thank you for this clarification."

Following along the conversation the Phoenix asked for her own favor "I actually do have something I want to ask about, it is my host Jean Grey she will exist in your universe, and I wanted to ask you if you could protect her from that brain scrambling piece of trash!"

"Oh, you mean Cha-" cutting me off the Phoenix immediately said, "He who shall not be named!" slightly bewildered and amused I answered "... Right, he who shall not be named, ... but we all know to be bald, in a wheelchair, and boasting that he is the strongest telepath in the world, which is utter bull-, but sure, we will not talk about him.

Actually, I am with you on that one, I really do not like how he treats her, even when he is good, he for some reason always meses with her mind and memories, but I do not totally hate him. So how about not giving him an excuse to destroy the potential of your host and anger you? Now before you rage about him having no right to do that in the first place, which is true, listen to me first. If you give me a phoenix egg, since I also want what is best for your host, and he who shall not be named is actually a rather good person and caretaker outside of Jean's case, I can give the egg to her before she awakens her powers, and lead her to be trained by who I am planning on making my Champion in my universe, that way she won't have any contact with he who shall not be named, and even if she does, she will be so much more powerful than him by that time and in control, that anything and everything he tries will just blow up in his face, and force him to give up trying to play as TOAA. Of course I know you will have other hosts throughout history like Firehair, and the like, but after the last one before Jean dies, just make sure the egg appears in the distorted world or mirror dimension, I just set up my nigh omnipresence to alert me when that happens, so deal?"

The Phoenix surprisingly smiles and nods screaming "DEAL!"

I smile as well, as I wave them goodbye and watch them leave. When they finally leave my smile disappears, and I begin to go over everything that happened in my interaction with the group of cosmic entities since the Living Tribunal got here until the Phoenix Force left.

"I don't like this" 'first the Living Tribunal managed to mobilize my power, of course I allowed it, but I still did not like how he tried to use me without permission. At least he cannot harm anything related to me including my universe with my powers, and to use them requires my permission thanks to APM. I will have to make a note to check whenever the Living Tribunal tries to erase something, thank TOAA for my sixth sense ability, otherwise I might have accidentally not allowed him to use my powers and cause a bigger problem. Honestly though, he probably knows. Now that I think about it, that might be why he looked at me before stating the results of the final judgment on Kang and his ilk. I thought it was just him looking at me as the accuser, but now looking back that might not have been the case.' *Soft exhale* 'Now those who sit above in shadow are another problem, but since Thor managed to end them once, I should be allowed the same without causing some form of multiversal instability. I will think more about this later, right now my senses are tingling...'

Author here so:

- I honestly love Deadpool, but I know for a fact I am not as creative with jokes and stuff, to properly portray him, so I will just send him to the realm of Death with her for eternity, probably not like he would have it any other way, knowing he could permanently be with his immortal girl.

- I have ideas for two recurring arcs: The Negative Zone, and Asgard, so which one do you want to come first.
