the indistinguishable feeling of light pecks of kisses on your cheek caused you to stir gently, a frown forging on your face, aggravated at the interference. regardless of the ongoing circumstance, your eyes remained closed up until, you felt a weight shift on top of you before they resumed their attacks of kisses all over your face, deliberately dodging your lips.

groaning softly at the intruder as you shuffled slightly trying to shake them off of you. your sleep schedule would not change for anybody and that was non-negotiable.

presumably, it could’ve been your girlfriend riri, but that was impossible, knowing that she was undisputedly on a different continent, typically occupied with homework and projects.

due to your time spent apart, you yearned for her voice, touch, and just in general, you missed her presence. in addition, she was loaded with homework, so popping up for a surprise visit wasn’t an option.

the last time that you’ve seen your beloved girlfriend was on a hologram screen, exhaustion displayed all over her beautiful facial features as she hoarsely notified you about her day. despite college whooping her behind, she still found time to interact with you everyday, and if not, every two days.

she truly was an amazing girl, was she not?

one of her old hoodies draped over your knees with a pair of shorts to match, nevertheless, it will have to do for now.

with much reluctance, forcing yourself to consciously awaken and open your eyes to behold the glorious sight of your girlfriend, who was in fact, very real and not some figment of your imagination.

“morning, princess,” riri’s tone was laced with amusement as she resumed her peck kisses all over your face while sitting on your lap.

you furrowed your eyebrows in confusion as she shuffled her hips on your waist, “what are you doing here? i thought that you weren’t supposed to be here till next week?”

supposedly, she was meant to be at her college, currently taking and acing her final exams for christmas, but here she was; laying on top of you, without a care in the world.

“i flew in early with the help of your siblings ‘cause i wanted to surprise you.” she informs you, her hand disappearing underneath the hoodie and roaming freely upward. “it’s always amazing what your girl folks’ can do ‘specially if one of them is the king of the most powerful nation to ever exist.” massaging her thumbs gently over your hardened brown buds and fondled with the plushness of your breasts.

“well consider me surprised.” you replied, sitting upright while your hands still settled onto her waist as she hummed in agreement before leaning over for a kiss.

“mmm…morning breath.” you disregarded her, discreetly blocking her face from your lips.

riri looks at you skeptically, a small grin appearing on her lips, and removed her hands from underneath the hoodie. “does it look like i care, ma?” however, her patience was very limited seeing as she didn’t let you reply, her hands gripped onto your wrists holding them above your head and silencing any upcoming words with a kiss.

impressed by the immediate action, you lightly moan into the kiss as you reciprocated it, softly caressing her face, once her hands retracted away from your restricted hands.

the kiss was tender and sweet, which was very common between the couple, also something that you deeply missed sharing with your intelligent girlfriend.

nothing too lustful or too rushed, it felt just right, full of passion and admiration for each other.

still involved in the kiss as her fingers weaved through your braids, having already taken off the bonnet, which was somehow still surprisingly attached to your head.

starting the day off, it always began with a morning kiss, to be quite frank, the williams girl claimed that it was her good luck charm and essential for her morning starter.

ever since riri ventured into your life, you’ve been soaring in heaven, and well, your family has never seen you this happier.

which you held dearest to your heart was mornings like these, equivalent to peaceful harmonies that you spent with your lover girl.

everything ran smoothly in your relationship to be exact, no huge arguments, just tiny conflicts here and there which were later resolved that same day with many promises and extra quality time together.

withdrawing the fun from dancing her lips amongst yours, she grew greedy and began littering kisses onto your neck. leaving no space unmarked, decorating your poor neck with very noticeable hickeys, triggering light pants from you.

biting, licking, kissing, or sucking to sprawl a reaction out of you was satisfiable enough for her. it’s been so long since you two last physically saw each other and riri wants to make up for the lost time.

when she nipped directly behind your right ear, causing your low groans to transform into a high octave, she was certain that she unleashed your sweet spot once again.

looks like she didn’t lose her touch after all.

“how about we make this morning more enjoyable?” riri smirks, pulling away from the abused neck consumed with dark brown hickeys and slowly slithered further down your body below your torso. “what do you say, princess?”

keeping her eyes locked onto yours as her deft fingers played with the waistband of your panties, edging you on as a pathetic tiny whimper draws from your mouth. your submissiveness earned a dry chuckle from the girl beneath you.

it wasn’t long till riri found a tiny damp patch on your panties. “i could tell someone else missed me, as well, isn’t that right, princess?” her sexy voice alone was adequate to make your panties completely damp and your pussy aching for her wonderful touch to which only she can fulfill.

complying to her inquiry, you tentatively nodded, somehow already impatient by her lack of attentiveness to your lower region. your body radiated all of the lust that you could’ve mustered, in hopes of riri actually assisting to your needs.

“don’t worry, ma. imma make you feel real good,” she promises, giving your clothed cunt a tender kiss making you buck involuntarily.

“please…riri,” you begged, your irises coated with utter desire. “please just touch me.”

in bed, titles meant nothing to your girl and she would degrade you however she feels to do so. just because you are princess [name] udaku, you’re also being secretly called pillow princess or my little slut by yours truly.

it wasn’t embarrassing on your part, you loved her being in control, knowing that she is the only one to put you in your place and she used that to her advantage as best she could.

was it justifiable to publicly humiliate you when surrounded by your family, also extensively aware of your image and status that you strongly upheld for your nation? of course not.

but did riri care? not one ounce of fucking regret.

in her case, you were being a brat and she had to put you in your place, no matter the circumstance. if her eyes ever drifted onto a secluded spot, best believe that she’s taking you then and there, being completely ruthless to your pussy.

soon enough, she discarded your undergarment and instantly got to work, trust me, when riri declared that she’ll make you feel good, she meant goddamn business.

‘cause of course, whatever her babygirl wants, her babygirl gets; nothing gets more simpler than that.

the rest of the morning resonated of constant moans and whimpers as a result of riri’s head being between your thighs. bast, you always wished for mornings like these, and now that dream is a reality. seems like your prayers were being answered in the most angelic way possible.

| SHURI X RIRI - SMUT

--- SEXUAL CONTENT BELOW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! 🤍

| SEXUAL CONTENT! |

"baby? are you done yet?" shuri asked standing beside the bathroom door. riri was in there trying something. the two have been looking for ways to take things up a notch. shuri got online, surfing the web when she stumbled upon a site for adult toys. she roamed through all the items from dildos, butt plugs, and many other things when she saw numerous of vibrating panties. that undoubtedly caught her attention so she looked at all the ones she wanted to try on riri when she bought the "Lock-n-Play Wristband Remote Panty Teaser" and it was just right for tonight's occasion. They were going out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, a public place to take advantage of riri. "yes, I'm done. It feels comfortable...that's a plus." riri muttered tugging at her dress when shuri entered the bathroom, as their eyes met. "well, we shall get going, darling." shuri said offering riri her arm. riri grabs a hold of shuri's arm as the two-headed out of the room, down the hallway. "don't be too reckless with it..." riri says looking up at shuri who smirked. "I'll try but no promises my love." shuri said looking down at riri. riri whimpered. On shuri's wrist was the wristband to control the toy inside riri's underwear.

at the restaurant, they went to their reserved room for two. their waitress for the night told them she'll be back to get their orders considering they had their finest wine in a cooler with ice on the table. she left the room and took care of others. shuri sat across from riri as she was occupied with looking at the menu. everything looks mouthwatering and had very intelligent names. shuri moves her hands under the table glancing down at the wristband- shuri bit her lip and pressed repeatedly on the + button as she peeked up at riri who jumps as she could feel it hitting her clitoris at all the right places. Riri gripped the table. "Nu-uh." shuri said instructing to put her hands down. Riri roughly bit onto her bottom lip letting the table go. "s-shuri...turn it down." riri said softly, holding back the instant moans that wanted to escape. "huh? what?" shuri teased picking her menu up. "ooo this looks delicious. might have to try that." shuri said turning it over pointing at it with her index finger. "doesn't it look delicious?" shuri asked as riri looks at her. "shu-" she starts when she let's out a small moan covering her mouth quickly. Shuri looks down at the watch seeing it was on 6. "oh shit- no wonder why she's over there about to pass out." so she turned it down to five. Riri tilts her head back, shuri glanced at her again, and made it go back to six then to a seven. Riri's eyes closed as they tightened. this felt like torture however it felt incredible. the vibrations felt unbelievable and were scrutinizing her hot spots. Riri tried taking deep breaths but she felt herself breathing heavily. Shuri inspects her movements. from her moving in her seat, leaning back in her chair, biting on her lip, moaning softly it made shuri hot as if her blood was boiling. it made her spine tingle. when she did the unspeakable.

Shuri pushed her chair back and got onto the floor but pulled the chair in. Riri opens her eyes and looks across the table seeing Shuri wasn't sitting there anymore. "Shuri?" Shuri crawled in front of riri. Shuri pulled her dress up a little just to get it out of the way. "Shuri? wait- what are you doing?" Riri questioned. "shhhh..let your daddy take care of you real quick." Shuri said when Riri opens her legs. Shuri grabbed the brim of her underwear and worked them down and removed the toy and placed it on the floor, but turned it off for the time being. Shuri started placing sensual kisses up and down her inner thigh. when Shuri got back up towards her vagina she started rubbing her clitoris before leaning forwards licking around her clitoris to tease riri. Riri moaned and whined. "Shuri..." Shuri kept it going when she started licking her on the clitoris for real. she would lick on it, starting gradually and building up the pressure and speed as she could feel riri's legs start to vibrate. Riri reached down gripping Shuri's hair. with that approach, Shuri started doing it faster. riri's moans got louder before covering her mouth. Shuri didn't care if they were to get kicked out. "let it out, baby girl." Shuri instructs as she continued to lick her clit up and down, in circles, at a nice pace. Riri moans out as Shuri inserted two fingers and fingered her right there. Shuri was pleasing her baby girl and even pulled her closer when she felt Riri pulling back from her. "S-Shuri...stop...w- ah! shit!" Riri said as she began vibrating even more. her juices flowing but Shuri didn't care she kept going. her hand grabbed her hips before sliding up her body as she was eating her out and fingering at the same time. her hand was wet from Riri's juices but this ain't nothing new to her. "SHURI!!!" Riri shouts. some people heard Riri's outburst. Shuri pulls back and chuckles. "alright alright." Shuri said fixing Riri up and then putting the vibrator in Riri's purse in a plastic ziplock bag. when she smiled at her. "I'll be right back," Shuri says walking out of the room and going to the restroom. Riri was catching her breath, running her hands through her hair. when the waitress hurried into the room. "We heard screams! Is everything alright?" She asked with an uneasy tone. "Oh yes. Sorry. She accidentally cut herself. She'll be back." Riri fibbed. The waitress smiled letting out a sigh of relief. "Oh okay! Ready to order?" She asked when Shuri strayed inside. "Yes, yes we are." As she sat down as the two glanced at each other and softly chuckled, while Shuri bit her lip.

( I hope you enjoyed 🤍 )

Moments In Between

A Shuri x Riri One-shot Series

Available on Wattpad/AO3 (Kreat)

************************************

There was no battle that Shuri had fought or enemy she had faced that caused her to be as nerve ridden as she was today. Finally after every trial and tribulation, she was marrying the love of her life. Their relationship was far from a fairytale, yet Shuri and Riri both knew they would have a happy ending.

"Shuri, I can feel your nerves over here. Do the rest of us a favor and keep them to yourself." M'baku said, earning him a glare from Shuri.

"Bast, leave her alone, M'baku. She has a right to be nervous. It is their union day." Okoye defended. "So, are you ready?" Okoye said as she put her hands on Shuri's shoulders.

"More ready than I've ever been for any moment in my life. I get to marry my soulmate."

"Yes, yes, kisses and rainbows. Save your speech for the ceremony." This earned M'baku a glare from both Okoye and Shuri.

"I only speak the truth." M'baku said as he raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders in innocence.

"Shuri, don't listen to him. It's your day and you can say whatever you please." Okoye said, smiling and looking at Shuri through the mirror.

*knock* *knock*

All three pairs of eyes turned towards the source of the sound as the door opened.

"Shuri, it's almost time" Nakia was smiling as she entered Shuri's quarters.

Shuri exhaled as the dropping feeling reappeared in her stomach. "Nakia, how does she look?"

Nakia's eyes lit up at the mention of Riri. "Shuri, she looks absolutely beautiful. As do you."

"Thank you. I'm just ready to see her. Actually, I'm not sure what I'll do when I see her."

"Just don't freeze and you'll be fine." M'baku inserted, wearing his signature charming smile. Shuri looked at him with agitation as Nakia and Okoye stifled back a laugh.

"Okay, enough teasing our Bride." Nakia said, still laughing.

"I was only trying to give advice." M'baku said.

"Try some better advice." Shuri said.

"Fine, you want advice?" M'baku for once turned to a more serious tone. He took a deep breath, preparing what words were about to leave his mouth.

"Always so dramatic," Okoye said as M'baku cut his eyes at her.

"As I was saying." M'baku started as he turned his attention back to Shuri. " Shuri, I know that this life has not been easy for you, but it has given you someone to share it with. Someone who loves you. Do not let your past wounds bleed on the heart who loves you now, in the present. I wish you two the best in this life and the next." M'baku surprised everyone with his words. Pulling Shuri into a hug, he whispered into her ear "I love you, little panther, and I am so proud of the woman you've become." Releasing her, he looked to see there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Nakia attempted to pat away the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes. Okoye on the other hand let them fall, not caring for the makeup she was wearing anyways.

"Now, I have another bride to go and offer my great wisdom to. We'll see you out there." M'baku gave Shuri one last meaningful look before leaving out the door. Over the years, M'baku and Riri had grown close. M'baku was mostly just intrigued by Riri's smart mouth and her ability to sometimes out banter him. And to no one's surprise, she had chosen him to present her to Shuri.

"I should be going to. Congratulations, Shuri." Okoye said as she gave Shuri a quick hug and left out the door.

With it just being them, Nakia took advantage of the moment. "Shuri, I wasn't sure what to say on this day. How to say, I'm so amazed by who you've become. The strength it took to get to this point, physically or mentally, I'm proud of you. I also see the way you unconditionally love and care for Riri. How protective of her you are yet, gentle. I know your mother and brother approve. And they are here with us today. You look at Riri the way T'challa would look at me. That's how I know you two are meant to be. You look at each other as if you're the stars that light up each other's sky." Nakia dabbed at the tears that had started to fall from her eyes.

"I wish they could have been here. I wish you and my brother could have had a day such as this. I told myself today was not just about the love Riri and I share for each other. But about the love and sacrifices of everyone, ourselves included, for us to get to this point." Shuri felt her eyes start to water. "Bast, no more deep talks. I'm going to cry enough at the ceremony."

Nakia chuckled, " Okay, you're right. Are you ready?"

"Now or never, let's go." Shuri took a hold of Nakia's arm. She had chosen Nakia to present her to Riri. She only felt that it was right. She also was thankful to have Nakia's support. Shuri was close to shambles,the epitome of a nervous wreck.The couple had stuck to the long tradition of being separated the day before their ceremony. She hadn't seen Riri in over 24 hours and now the next time she would be seeing her, would be as her wife. Walking out of her bridal quarters', Shuri prepared herself. It was time.

******************************************************************************************

Riri looked into the mirror. Her dress fit her body perfectly. Months of designing and tailoring her wedding dress had paid off. She was in awe of the intricate designs , the details of everything from the hems to the stitching. It was perfect. Riri felt beautiful for the first time in a long time.

"That dress isn't going anywhere and neither are we if you don't get out of that mirror."

"M.J. a girl only gets married once, well one time that truly matters." Ayo and M.J. both chuckled.

"And I'm lucky enough that this will be my only wedding. Shuri knows not to play with me." Riri said jokingly.

"Or she'll have to face me. And I might not have a cool super suit like everyone else but I don't play about my Riri." M.J. added in from her spot on the lounge chair.

"That will be a very quick fight." M'baku inserted as he walked through the door

"Mimi!" Riri calls the nickname out in excitement.

"Ah, you know how I hate that name." M'baku said in annoyance.

"Which is exactly why I used it. You can't be mad, you came up with it." Riri argued.

"Ah, on any other day you would not get away with that, but today is a very special day. I also know that you're just as much of a wreck as Shuri is. You two are perfect for eachother. Both small and emotional. Like two lovesick puppies."

"M'baku, did you just come to insult me?" Riri asks.

M'baku laughs, "Of course not, I came to present you to your bride to be. Now, stop deflecting. I know you are a complete wreck right now. So, what is on your mind?"

"Everything." Riri said as she turned around to face M'baku, backing away from the full length mirror. "Today, is one of the most important days of my life. Am I supposed to feel a certain way?"

"Mm, I suppose not."

"Don't get me wrong, bro, I've been practically shaking since this morning. Like, this is really about to happen. I honestly couldn't see myself with anyone else."

"I don't think anyone else would be willing to put up with you." M'baku adds.

"I said the same thing myself." M.J. said.

"I like her. And who are you?" Asked M'baku.

"Oh, I'm M.J. Friend from M.I.T. And you must be M'baku.'

"Yes, I did not think anyone else could stand this one." M'baku jokes, pointing at Shuri.

"Eh, she's not that bad." M.J. responds.

"Okay, if you two are done making fun of me-"

"Ah, don't be so upset. " M'baku says as he walks further into the room.

"Okay, everyone. We do have a ceremony to get to. M'baku, make sure she actually gets to the palace and on time. M.J., you all set to go?" Ayo says, making way towards the door.

M.J. gave Riri one last hug, "I'm so happy for you, girl." She said so that only Riri could hear her. Releasing her, she gave her one last look over and continued out the door with Ayo.

"Honestly speaking, you both really are a wreck. What is the worst that can happen? Do you think Shuri's going to say no."

"Very funny, smart ass."

"I'm just saying Ri. I honestly get sick everytime I am around you two and your kissing and cuddling. It's not enjoyable for the rest of us."

"And it's only about to get worse." Riri said, sticking her tongue out at him.

M'baku rolled his eyes. "I know. Speaking of, you are about to step into a union. I may tell a joke here and there-"

"Pfft" Riri interjected.

"BUT I am serious about this. What you're about to do is nothing to take lately. And I know you love Shuri deeply. I have never seen a more perfect match. The love you share is genuine. And Riri, if and when things get hard, just know I'll always be here. To talk to, confide in. I've grown to think of you as a little sister, Ri. And although I serve the throne, this gorilla will tame the Black Panther if she hurts you, without hesitation." M'baku pulled a now crying Riri in for a hug.

"I knew you were a softie."

"Oh shut up. You're the one who's crying." M'baku said, releasing Riri ," Are you ready?"

"I don't think I'll be more ready than I am now. I feel like I've been waiting for this moment all my life and didn't know it until now."

"Well, let's not wait any longer." M'baku offered Riri his arm. She took it and exhaled heavily, looking towards the door.

****************************************************************************

The Golden City was at its most festive. An overwhelming sense of excitement had consumed the city in the days leading up to the wedding ceremony. People from all over the nation filled the streets, celebrating the union to come. Today was no different. Bells could be heard in the distance. ringing out, signaling the wedding party's arrival. The residents of the city were dressed in bright colors, none dawning white. If not among the crowds in the street, they were standing or sitting on their balconies or outside their homes. Just hoping to catch a glimpse of the new brides as they made their ceremonial march through the town. A gesture that had come to symbolize a new couple walking into their life together.

Inside the Citadel, Shuri waited patiently outside the throne room. Nakia standing beside her arm in Shuri's. For some reason, Nakia had grown nervous as well.

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

Shuri felt a spark ignite inside her as she knew the ringing of bells meant it was officially time for her to walk down the aisle.

"Let's do this." She said as the tall and heavy vibranium doors opened.

Standing on either side of the aisle were various members of their friends and family. Shuri didn't notice everyone who was there as she was focusing on this moment. Gracefully, she made her way down the aisle. Nakia, who had released her arm, was not standing to the side of her. Shuri didn't think she could grow more nervous. She was wrong. As the crowd remained standing, the more rings from the bell were heard throughout the palace room.

'Here we go' Shuri thought to herself, her hands sweating. As the doors opened for a second time, Shuri tried to prepare herself. It failed. As the doors opened and Riri came into sight, Shuri forgot anyone else was in the room. Shuri had seen Goddesses before, but none of them came close to Riri. Sun gold fabric seemed to hug every curve on Riri's body. The heart-line shoulderless dress was adorned with gold dusted patterns. Each hand sewn over the period of a few months. A long train followed behind Riri as she made her way down the aisle. Shuri felt as if the sun was walking towards her. Her natural curls stopped just below her shoulders and seemed to move with her as she walked down the aisle.

Riri, who was now standing at the end of the aisle, stood and waited, her tears now matching Shuri's. Riri couldn't believe she got to marry someone so breathtaking. Shuri's was wearing a traditional white wrap. The designs matched those of Riri's dress. The same golden color, but stitched along the sides of her wrap. Over her shoulder was a shawl, white in color. It was blank except for the panther emblem that had been stitched into the middle of it.

"May we begin." The Golden tribe elder said. After receiving a nod from both Shuri and Riri, he continued. "Today, we gather in this great place, the Golden Citadel, for the union of most honored citizens. Shuri Udaku, of the Golden tribe, Daughter of late Queen Ramonda, the Black Panther, and Bast' Champion. And Riri Williams, of the Western world, the Iron Heart and the people's champion. Who will be presenting these women?"

"I will" Nakia stated first as she stepped forward.

"I will." M'baku added as he stepped forward.

"Do you both in good faith present these two to each other? Recognizing this as a confirmation of your belief in the idea that they will honor and love each other for an eternity. This act is a representation of your witness of their strength of union."

"Yes." Nakia and M'baku answered simultaneously.

"Brides, you may now turn and face each other."

Shuri was met with Riri's teary ones. Each at the other. No words had to be exchanged for them to know how the other was feeling in the moment.

"Today, today I, an elder of the Golden tribe, have the great privilege of joining you together. We will begin with exchanging vows. Shuri?"

Shuri clears her throat as she takes Riri's hands into hers. "Riri, I wasn't sure what to say until now. I prepared something, but those words don't do this moment justice. Since the moment I met you, I have had the sense that we belonged together. I didn't know what it meant then, but I do now. In our journey together, we have lost so much but have been blessed to find each other. I feel as though the universe created us for each other. Rather it be in this lifetime of the next, I wll always find you. I will always be there to love you, protect you, and support. You have given me the greatest gift. The gift of living again, being able to love again and to know that I can be loved. You are my stars, my moon, my sun, and my entire world. I'd die a thousand times over before I had to live in a world without you in it." Shuri finished and noticed the drops falling from her eyes. She was speaking from the heart and it showed.

"Now, Riri." The elder said.

"Wow, okay." Riri said as she gathered herself and tried to pat away the tears that were falling.

"Shuri, we found each other at a time when I was alone. And I needed you in a way that I didn't understand. Oftentimes, I find myself wondering, how we got here. How we made it through everything and it reassures me that we were meant to be. Not only have you made me a part of your family, but you make me into a better person. One who isn't afraid to be vulnerable or want to be isolated from the world. You brought me joy at a time when I lacked it the most. I look into your eyes and I see home. I feel a peace come over me that nothing else has ever brought me. My love for you goes across universes and it has no end. Whatever the world decides to throw at you, at us, I'll always be by your side fighting until the end. Whenever you're not by my side, a piece of me is missing. I have become yours as much as you have become mine. Our souls dancing with one another for an eternity. I have loved you, Shuri, for what seems like a lifetime. And I'll love you for the rest of this one and the next."

At this point very few guests were not trying to stop the tears that were now falling. Even M'baku had shed a tear or two at the sight of the two women professing their love for each other.

"Will the bearer bring the rings forward." The Elder called out among the crowd.

Shuri and Riri both looked at M.J. with slightly annoyed looks.

Just then a frantic looking M.J. sprung up "Oh sheesh, yea that's me." She said as rushed forward. "Sorry about that, here ya go." She said, smiling apologetically. The couple had designed matching gold-plated vibranium wedding rings. A closer look at the rings would show a black panther designed as the ring band, whose tail flowed up the shoulder of the ring and into the basket that was holding a heart shaped diamond.

"Shuri, please place the ring on Riri's finger." Shuri gently placed the ring on Riri's finger/

"Now, Shuri Udaku, do you take Riri Williams in union? To have in this lifetime and into the next. To protect not only her body, but her mind, soul, and image as well?"

"I do." Shur said, smiling from ear to ear.

"Riri, please place the ring on Shuri's finger." Riri did as she was instructed.

"Riri Williams, do you take Shuri Udaku in union? To have in this lifetime and into the next. To protect not only her body, but her mind, soul, and image as well?"

"I do." Riri said, smiling through teary eyes.

"This union has been confirmed and witnessed by the ancestors, elders, tribal leaders and the honored guests of our couple. I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss you-"

The elder member didn't get the chance to finish as neither woman wasted no time capturing the other in a kiss. Breaking apart, they were met with the cheers of their guests and the sounding of the bells. Letting the rest of the city know the ceremony had been completed.

Shuri picked Riri up bridal style as they made their way through the palace. They walked the streets for the first time as a couple. They were met with congratulations from every person they passed and were given several gifts. The festivities lasted for days after that. The couple spent every moment together, relishing in newly-wed bliss.

Young, black and Gifited

These are just some rouge little thoughts I've had about my girl riri that I thought the fellow wow would enjoy :))

Riri is exertmly flirty at first

Always hitting you up and trying to take you out

And at first you were not into it but as you got closer you started flirting back

But this woman can not handle the back-and-forth flirting so she just freezes

Even at the most basic of compliments

“You’re so pretty today” “What- I mean yeah yeah sure totally um thank you!”

And it’s so cute to watch her stumble around talking to you

But once she gets control of herself and asks you out it would be amazing

She would be so fun a energized the whole date

Taking you somewhere so like an arcade

She is VERY competitive

She wouldn’t let you win at anythinggggg

But ofc you refuse to lose

So there is like a 10-minute standoff between you and her at the hockey table

Before she gets a bit distracted by your... Um personality ;)

But after the date, she’d drop you off and lean in for a kiss

The thing is she tiny

She’s 5ft tall so you're just kinda looking down at her as she tries to reach your lips

After a while, she pouts and tells you to wait as she goes to the trunk of her car

You just hear metal scraping and a little “ow!”

But as she comes back you can’t help but laugh

“What, comes on don’t laugh at me, it’s the only way I can reach to kiss your giraffe ass”

She’s wearing her full-iron heart suit

Of course you lean in and kiss her

But man it’s hard to not laugh

After the date obviously, there are many many more

But it takes a while for her to warm up fully to you

She's getting used to being the center of attention so she keeps you at arm's length for a while

Keeping herself locked in her studies

You get sick of this pretty quickly

Deciding she need to pay a bit more attention to you

So when she is in class you sneak into her dorm room and get the a by comfortable :)

Into her shirt that is way too small on you and her boxers

Of course, when she comes in she almost doesn't notice you

But when she does ooh baby she notices

“Oh fuck what are you... Is that my shirt why are you in my shirt baby?”

And don't get me wrong she loves it just a bit confused

But you say if movie day and she is 100% into it

You obviously tease her to the max

Sitting on her lap

Kissing her neck

The whole 9 yards

After a while she just can't take it anymore and gives in ;)

Once you get comfortable dating she takes you to her workstation

Showing you all the cars and gadgets she has

You come across a little piece of paper with your name on it

“Riri what’s this?” “OH, shit fuck um no don’t look at that!!”

She snatched the paper from your hand putting it behind her back

As you fry wrestling the paper from her trying to pin her down etc

You retrieve the paper and it’s a little heart shape gadget

Similar to those long-distance bracelets where you touch it and it sends an alert to the other copy that the person misses you

Of course you tease her for it

“Awww Baby do you miss me a lot it’s so cute how much you like me” “No I just you know thought maybe you miss me huh ever thought of that”

Obviate you love the gift and bring her into a kiss

by then she’s gotten used to the height difference and fully embraces her tall gf

And btw she loves touching you

Always on you, kissing and cuddling

Always feeling you up

Loves PDA and wants EVERYONE to know you guys are dating

Hopefully this reaches ur guys expectations and we get more Riri fics soon :)

Homecoming

A/N : What if will be my personal take on Spiderman movies. This is an oneshot on Spiderman: Homecoming showcasing a platonic relationship between Peter Parker and Stark reader. Their relationship will evolve as per the sequels. Most of the original scenes from the movie is included. Trying something new hope you like this. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

Pairing : Peter Parker x Stark reader ( platonic)

Summary : After the events of Civil War the Avengers have broken Tony Stark is busy being a mentor to his new recruit Peter Parker aka Spiderman  who wants to prove that he is worthy to be a part of the Avengers. Things get interesting when he crosses path with none other than the heiress of Stark Industries Y/N Stark aka Ironheart. What does the future hold for them?

Warnings : mild language, suggestive themes.

“What?! I have to go to Midtown High!” You couldn’t believe your ears. 

“Whyyy?! What’s the problem with my present school?" 

"It’s my decision and it’s final.” Tony said firmly. 

“Mooom! You agreed to this?” you turned to Pepper with a puppy face. 

“Don’t look at me, it was your father’s decision." 

"But you are literally the CEO of Stark Industries, you are the one to decide.” You whined. 

“Uh uh little miss I still own Stark Industries and being your father I’m the CEO of your life. So Y/N H. Stark you are going to Midtown High to complete your studies.” “Besides Parker will be there you’ll be fine." 

"You mean the spider boy, your new recruit?" 

"Your dad thinks Peter will be a good influence on you. Taken for your ever growing rebellious behaviour." 

"He’s a nerd and how are you so sure that your pretty little daughter won’t corrupt your young apprentice.” You smirked, raising an eyebrow. 

“He’s a nice kid Y/N you’ll like him. And one more thing you are not allowed to carry your suit or any of the Stark tech during school hours." 

"You gotta be shitting me! This is so not done!" 

"Uh uh language young lady" 

"Now you also don’t start like Cap." 

Peter had resumed his studies at the Midtown School of Science and Technology after Tony Stark told him he is not yet ready to become a full Avenger. He made it a daily routine to report everything he does the whole day ` to Happy. 

Happy scoffs at the numerous incoming messages. 

"Who is it?” you wiggled your brows sitting at the backseat of your posh car. 

“Ain’t that lucky kiddo. As usual our Spiderling." 

"He’s quite dedicated I see."  You chuckle. 

Your car pulls over in front of your new school. Happy opens the door for you as you step out of the car and let out a deep breath in anticipation of the new life ahead. Happy followed you as you walked inside. You felt a little embarrassed and stopped him. 

"Happy you don’t need to escort me inside the school. I’m not a 5 year old. You can leave, I’ll be fine.” You assured him. 

You walked past the hallways you could feel all eyes were on you students whispering to themselves to see none other than Y/N Stark in their school. You kinda felt overwhelmed with the attention you got.

You walked a little when you caught sight of that familiar mop of brown hair. You never met Peter in person but you have seen him quite a few times in the compound you went and placed your hand on Peter’s shoulder. 

“Hey underoos!” Peter jumped back as he turned to look who called him by this name. And he was dumbfounded to see you. He had seen you in magazine covers and ofcourse in your social media handles but you were breathtakingly beautiful in real life even in just a simple sweatshirt paired with jeans and sneakers. Your hair let loose cascading down your shoulders. 

“Hey- hi you.. You must be Miss Stark. I’m Peter.. Peter Parker.” He fumbled 

“I know and it’s Y/N no need to be formal as we are gonna be classmates. Anyways how are you by the way after that whole…” He cut you off 

“Yea.. Yeah I’m fine. The Stark summit was really hectic but I got through it” He widened his eyes and nodded his head sideways. You got the hint and played along. 

“Great! Hey I was hoping you could show me around your school?" 

"It will be my pleasure to give you a tour of our school.” Flash dropped in between your conversation from nowhere pushing Peter aside. 

“Who the hell are you?” you looked at him sceptically. 

“Oh sorry where are my manners, Flash - Flash Thompson.” he said with a smug face. 

“Oh! nice to meet you but I’m not currently into flashy things so if you would excuse us.” You shut him up. 

“Shall we?” you turned to Peter. 

“Yeah - yeah sure.” Peter stuttered. 

“You are Ned Leeds right? Nice to meet you too.” You gave a smile and walked past them. 

“Oh she knows my name.” Ned freaked out. 

**************************************

“Students I would like to introduce you to your new classmate Miss Y/N Howard Stark.” Ms Warren introduced you.

“Hello everyone would really appreciate it if you call me by my name.” You said coyly and then went back to your seat. Ms Warren carried on with the class. 

“An object is thrown vertically with a velocity of v. What is its velocity at the highest point…" 

"0m/s.” You answered casually while taking notes in your notebook even before Ms Warren could finish her question. The whole class stared at you for your lightning speed answer. You felt intimidated with their stare. 

“Umm when examining vertical motion, the vertical velocity will always be zero at the highest point. At this point, the acceleration from gravity is working to change the motion of the ball from positive to negative. This change is represented by the x-axis on a velocity versus time graph. As the object changes direction, its velocity crosses the x-axis, momentarily becoming zero.” You explained your answer. You were indeed beauty with brains. 

“Thank you Y/N" 

"So let’s move on to the next question, how do we calculate linear acceleration between points A and B? Flash raised his hand. 

"Flash”

“Uh it’s the product of the sine of the angle and the gravity divided by the mass.”

“Nope”

“Peter you still with us?” He was busy looking at his own spiderman footage. 

“Umm yeah, yeah" 

"Uh mass cancels out so it’s gravity times sine”

“See flash being the fastest is not always the best, if you’re wrong. The whole class burst into laughter. 

During recess Peter kept staring at Liz with lovestruck eyes who was busy organising for the homecoming. 

"Did Liz get a new top?” he asked Ned. 

“Oh no you have seen it before but not with that skirt." 

"Probably we should stop staring before it gets creepy though." 

"Too late.You guys are losers.” MJ quipped. 

“Then why do you sit with us?" 

"Because I don’t have any friends." 

"Hey who said you don’t have friends. Mind if I sit?” you chirped. 

“No not at all." 

"It’s Y/N by the way Y/N Stark." 

"Michelle Jones, call me MJ." 

"And you creepos are really hopeless. Just go and tell her what you feel.” You snickered. 

“No I’m fine.” Peter got up abruptly flustered.

************************************** 

The school decathlon team was practicing in the hall whilst Peter tried to make Mr Harrington understand that he would be unable to participate. 

“Peter, it’s nationals. Is there no way you could take one weekend off?" 

"I can’t go to Washington because if Mr Stark needs me then I have to make sure that I am here." 

"You have never been in the same room with Tony Stark.” Flash jabbed. 

“Wait, what’s happening?” Cindy asked. 

“Peter’s not going to Nationals." 

"No, no, no.” Cindy said

“Why not?” Abraham smacks the bell.

“Really, right before Nationals?” Liz scowled. 

“He already quit marching band and robotics lab.” MJ pointed out as all the students stared at her. 

“I’m not obsessed with him, I’m just very observant!” MJ clarified. 

“Flash you’re in for Peter." 

"Pfff…. I don’t know, I gotta check my calendar first. I gotta hot date with black widow coming up.”

“That is false!” Abraham smacks the bell again. 

“What did I tell you about using the bell for comedic purposes? Mr Harrington warned him. 

You mistakenly stumbled into the room where the practise was going on, everyone’s attention shifted towards you. 

"Oh! sorry I was just looking for the robotics lab.” You apologized. 

“Hey Y/N can join us too.” Flash suggested. 

“Join you where?” you frowned. 

“Our academic decathlon team as Parker has chickened out." 

"No, no Flash there has been strict instructions from Mr Stark that Miss Stark should not be engaged in any kind of extracurricular which requires her to go out of the school premises for safety reasons.” You cringed internally.

“Umm first of all Mr Harrington with all due respect please call me by my name I am just a normal student of yours like others over here. And secondly screw my old man I’m in only if you are okay with that." 

"We will be glad to have a genius like you, welcome to the team Y/N." 

Peter was just waiting for the school bell to ring. As soon as the bell rang he ran out of school jumping off the gate. 

"Nice jump.” You appeared from the side startling him. 

“Sorry didn’t mean to startle you again." 

"Uh it’s OK. You didn’t go home?" 

"Nah my dad is on a trip to India so no one there to watch over me. And I’m not going to miss this opportunity so thought of exploring Queens today as I’m new here." 

"And this place will be my second home till I graduate but first I need to grab something to eat I’m starving." 

"I know a place that has the best sandwiches in Queens.”

“Great! Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go.” You chirped. 

You followed Peter as he led you to the place. 

“What’s up Mr. Delmar?” Peter greeted him as you entered the store. 

“Hey Mr Parker, no. 5 right?" 

"Yeah and with pickles can you squish it down real flat? Thanks.”

“And who is this pretty lady?" 

"She is Y/N Stark, our new classmate." 

"You got lucky kid.” Mr Delmar smirked. 

“Oh no it’s.. It’s nothing like that.” Peter got nervous. 

“Yeah I’m new here he is just showing me around.” You backed him up. 

“How’s your aunt?" 

"Yeah she’s alright." 

"La tía de este, es una italiana que está buenísima.” Mr Delmar says to his co-worker. 

“¿Cómo está tu hija?” Peter stuck out his tongue a little. 

“Damn!"you giggle, smacking Peter’s arm slightly shocked and impressed by his comeback. 

”$16" Mr Delmar demanded. 

“It’s $8" 

"For that comment $16”

“Hey C'mon I was joking, I was joking. Here $8." 

"So how’s school?" 

"Ah you know boring got better things  to do." 

"Stay at school kid, stay at school otherwise you’re gonna end up like me.”

“wow this is great!" 

"Best sandwiches in Queens!" 

You turned to leave as Peter got the sandwiches. 

"She’s beautiful,” Mr Delmar mouthed to Peter. 

Peter raised his hands dismissively and mouthed “no”. 

Peter handed you the sandwich after coming out of the shop. 

“Thanks I owe you a sandwich.Okay then see you at school tomorrow." 

"You can go on your own right?” Peter asked before leaving. 

“Yeah Peter I’m Ironheart I can take care of myself." 

"Then I better go." 

"Yeah bye goodluck with your spidermaning." 

That very night you saw the news of Spiderman preventing criminals from robbing an ATM with their advanced weapons. On the other hand as Peter tries to sneak into his apartment after stopping the robbery, Ned discovers his secret identity. 

Ned was so excited to know that his best friend is an avenger he bombarded him with questions the next day. During gym class Ned and Peter overhear Liz’s conversation with Betty about her crush on spiderman. Ned tries to help Peter. 

"Peter knows Spiderman!” Ned blurted out garnering everyone’s attention towards them. 

“Uh - no I don’t no I - I mean.” Peter stammered. 

“They are friends.” Ned added. 

“Yeah like coach Wilson and Captain America are friends.” Flash made fun of him. 

“I - I met him yeah a couple of times but it’s a- through the Stark internship. 

Yeah well I’m really not supposed to talk about it.” He glared at Ned. 

“That’s awesome! hey why you know what may be you should invite him to liz’s party right?" 

” Yeah I’m having people over tonight more than welcome to come.“

"You’re having a party?" 

"Yeah it’s gonna be dope you should totally invite your personal friend spiderman.”

“Umm”

“It’s okay I know Peter is way busy for parties anyways so”

“Oh c'mon he’ll be there right Parker?" 

You were standing beside MJ irritated with Peter and Ned’s childish behavior witnessing the whole drama unfold. When Flash tried to woo you again. 

"Hey Y/N you are very much welcome too. I know these are not your kind of parties but I’ll make sure you’re comfortable.”

“Thanks Flash will give it a thought.” you gave a tight lipped smile. 

“What are you doing?"  Peter snapped at Ned. 

"Helping you out. Did you not hear that? Liz has a crush on you!” Peter opened his mouth to say something stopping midway realising Ned was right. 

“Dude you’re an avenger if anyone of us has a chance with a senior girl it’s you." 

As everyone was leaving you briskly walked towards Peter pulling him aside. 

"What the fuck was that?!” You muttered in his ears. You were about to say more but you stopped seeing Ned coming near. 

“He knows.” Peter pointed towards Ned. 

“Okay so what the fuck was that?! You said out loud this time to both of them. 

"We are not supposed to swear in school.” Ned interrupted you. 

“Ned better not make me open my dictionary.” You glowered at him. 

“You do know right what my dad is capable of doing if he comes to know that you are using your superhero identity as a trick to woo some girl?” you snapped at Peter. 

“But- but I didn’t say anything. It was Ned.”

“C'mon Y/N don’t be a buzzkill Peter really likes Liz this is his only chance.” You huffed rolling your eyes. 

“Do whatever you please but being a girl myself I can assure you that this won’t work you dumbasses." 

******************************************

Though you didn’t want to come to this party because this is nothing to the parties you are used to attending but you gave in for MJ. You two sort of have become really close friends so you couldn’t say no to her. 

” Oh my god hi guys, cool hat Ned.“

’‘Hi liz” Ned and Peter both greet her.

“I’m so happy you guys came." 

"There’s pizza and drinks. Help yourself.”

“It’s a great party” Peter complimented.

“Thanks. Have fun.” Liz goes to attend other guests.

“Dude what are you doing? she’s here spider it up" 

"No, no, no I can’t - I cannot do this”

“Y/N was right, spiderman is not a party trick." 

"Look I’m gonna be myself" 

"Peter nobody wants that” Ned said bluntly

“Dude!” Peter seemed offended. 

“Penis Parker what’s up?” Flash quipped. 

“Where’s your pal spider man? Let me guess in Canada with your imaginary girlfriend." 

Flash as usual started bullying him, you felt like punching him right at his face but then you thought Peter brought it upon himself and why are you even feeling sorry for a boy you have known for just a few days. Peter went off to the terrace to change into his spiderman suit. He didn’t feel right about what he was doing. Just then he saw an explosion far away and he went off to see what’s the matter. After sometime you noticed Peter was nowhere to be found. 

Later in the night when you came back home you got to know about Peter and how he came across a gang of criminals selling high tech weapons. He went to save the guy who was buying the weapons and got caught in a fight with a vulture guy who dropped him in a lake, he nearly drowned after becoming tangled in the parachute built into his suit for his safety. Thanks to your dad, who was monitoring the Spider-Man suit sent a rescue bot to save him.

Next day at school Peter was trying to dismantle the weapon as he repeatedly hit it with a hammer to separate the glowing core and study it. 

"Hey thanks for bailing on me.” Ned grimaced. 

“yeah well something came up.” Peter muttered showing Ned the glowing core he retrieved from the crime scene. 

“Woah! what is that?" 

"I don’t know, some guy tried to vaporize me with it.”

“Seriously? awesome!” Peter frowned. 

“I mean not awesome, totally uncool, that guy so scary." 

"I think it’s a power source" 

"Yeah but it’s connected with these microprocessors that’s an inductive charging plate that’s what I use to charge my toothbrush.” Ned explained. 

“Whoever is making these weapons is obviously combining the alien tech with ours." 

"It’s literally the coolest sentence anyone has ever said. I just wanna thank you for letting me be part of your journey into this amazing." 

"Hey I heard you were dunked into the lake by some flying vulture guy. How are you now?” you suddenly walked in. 

Peter jumped out of his skin in fear as he and Ned scrambled to hide the glowing object from you. 

“Yea..yeah I’m..I’m fine.” he said nervously. 

“What’s the matter?” you frowned looking at their horrified expressions. 

“Uh- nothing" 

"Why do I have a feeling that you guys are hiding something from me?” you eyed him sceptically. 

“Hiding, wha…what will I be hiding from you?” he stuttered. You narrowed your eyes in suspicion. 

“It’s boys stuff girls can’t know.” Ned backed him up. 

“Huh! Okay.. Whatever…” you scoffed rolling your eyes.

“Anyways the reason I came to you is Dad is back from his trip and he asked me to tell you to stop by the compound today after school." 

"What!? Really??Any new mission?” His face lit up in excitement. 

“Oh no, no he has something to do with you in the lab." 

"Oh okay.”

Later in the day after school you were in the lab engrossed in working on some new upgrades for your suit. 

“Hey” Peter said timidly. You turned. 

“Oh hi there, was waiting for you only." 

"You said Mr Stark had some work with me." 

"Yeah he has but an urgent meeting came up so he told me to do the work instead.He’s probably making some new upgrades for your suit and told me to take a body scan of yours." 

"Oh that’s cool." 

"Okay now take off your clothes."  you turned and continued working on the control panel.

"What?!" 

"FRIDAY needs to scan your body so hurry up we don’t have the whole day” you reasoned. 

“Bu..But” he stammered. 

“Oh C'mon don’t be so confident about yourself I won’t swoon over seeing you in just your boxers.” You scoffed. 

“Umm okay.” Peter turned around and started taking off his clothes hesitantly. 

You turned around and instantly regretted because the sight for you was to behold. You actually thought you would swoon over seeing his chiselled back muscles. He is definitely over dressed to give away what’s underneath. You were grateful Peter wasn’t facing you to see you all flustered.

“Okay Peter you stand on that platform.” You instructed. 

He turned around facing you and now you could see his toned abs in full glory. 

“Fuck!” you cursed under your breath. For a moment you felt the air was knocked out of your lungs. You felt your chest tighten as you gasped for air, a heat rising in your body. You cleared your throat trying to ease the tension. 

“Man you are ripped why don’t you wear a little less clothing at school maybe it can help Liz to notice you.” Peter blushed at your comment. 

You tapped some buttons on the panel as FRIDAY did the scan. 

“So what upgrades is Mr Stark working on?” Peter asked, putting back his clothes on.”

“I don’t know, he said he’s working on something and I’m least interested in things which aren’t related to me." 

"Okay then see you later.” Peter pursed his lips smiling. 

“yeah bye” you got busy with your work. Peter turned to leave as he stopped in his tracks and turned back. 

“Y/N" 

"Yeah?" 

"Best of luck for the decathlon.” he smiled softly. 

“Oh thanks.”

“Okay then bye.”

“Hmm bye.” You smiled. 

*****************************************

Back at Peter’s apartment, he and Ned were tracking the homing beacon that Peter attached to the arms dealer. The tracking device on Schultz leads to Maryland which was not far away from D.C., which makes Peter reconsider his decision to join the decathlon team. 

Next day when the team was about to leave for D.C. Peter showed up. 

“Hey it’s Peter.” Cindy exclaimed

“Peter?” Liz frowned.

“Hey I was hoping if I could rejoin the team.”

“No, no way you can’t just quit on us and stroll up and be welcomed back by everyone” Flash protested.

“Hey Peter! welcome back! Flash you are back to first alternate." 

"What?!”

“He’s taking your place.” Abraham laughed. 

“Uh excuse me, can we go already? I was hoping to catch in some protesting in front of some embassy before dinner .” MJ quipped. 

“Protesting is patriotic. Let’s get on the bus." 

Flash was furious as he took off his blazer and threw it at Peter. 

You became suspicious with Peter’s sudden change in plans and kept an eye on Peter the whole bus ride. 

At the hotel room after a lot of pleading Ned agreed in helping Peter disable the tracker your dad  implanted in the Spider-Man suit, and unlock its advanced features. Peter sneaks out of the hotel room but is stopped by Liz who asks him to loosen up a bit and have fun with everyone near the swimming pool. He was first tempted in spending time with his crush but his duties as spiderman stopped him from doing so and he also wanted to prove his worth to his mentor Tony Stark. 

With a heavy heart he swings off to stop Toomes from stealing weapons from a D.O.D.C. truck, but instead gets trapped inside, causing him to miss the decathlon tournament. When he discovers that the power core is an unstable Chitauri grenade, Peter races to the Washington Monument. 

Midtown High won the competition and Mr Harrington took you all for a visit to the Washington Monument. Peter tries to warn Ned about the explosive he’s been carrying around but it goes in vain. The Chitauri core gets unstable as it gets exposed to radiation in the x-ray scanner during security check in. You all boarded the elevator whilst the tour guide gave you the details about the Monument.  

Ned threw his bag away as he felt some vibrations coming from it. The core detonated causing a massive explosion shaking the whole building as a crack developed on the roof of the elevator. Everyone cried out in panic as you all got trapped inside it. You immediately put on your AI powered glasses that you snuck off from the lab incase of emergency. 

"FRIDAY??” you asked for the status report. 

“The emergency exit is blocked by debris of rubble Miss Stark.” FRIDAY informed. 

“So I need to blast off the blocked exit.” You activated your custom wrist watch which just like your dad’s watch turned into your Ironheart gauntlet giving access to your suit’s repulsor.

“Everybody duck down and cover your heads.” You commanded aiming your repulsor to the blocked exit and blasting it off. 

The door was cleared and slowly the rescue team started pulling you all out of the elevator one by one. But you knew very well the commotion had reduced the impact time for the elevator to fall. You really wished you had your suit with you. The cables snapped as the elevator started falling with Ned, Liz and Mr Harrington in it. Fortunately Spiderman was right on time as he webbed it up and pulled the elevator up eventually saving everyone. 

The news of the whole incident was everywhere as you all were escorted out of the building by the security officials. MJ came running and hugged you. 

“Oh! Y/N I was so scared. You okay?" 

"Yeah fortunately.”

A few minutes later Happy arrived at the place, he hurriedly came to you. 

“Oh God Y/N you alright?" 

"Yes Happy I’m fine see not a single scratch.”

“Save that for your dad he is so mad at us for letting you come here alone." 

"I’ll handle him, don’t worry. Let’s go home then?" 

*******************************

Back at the compound you were about to go to your room but was stopped by your dad he looked angry. 

"Where do you think you are going young lady? Don’t you think you have got some explanation to do?" 

"For what?” you asked bluntly. 

“For participating in a school event and carrying the stark tech with you which I had forbidden." 

"Tony I don’t think it’s the right time, we should be glad she came home safe and sound from that horrifying accident, let her rest. We can do this later and I was the one who gave her permission. It wasn’t even her fault." 

"Uh uh Pepper don’t guard her. Let her speak because this wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t defy my orders in the first place.”

“Dad, what is the use of going to school if I don’t participate in the co curricular activities? It’s better you homeschool me if you have got so much problem." 

"Because unlike others your life is always under mortal danger because of your father’s job. And he is always trying hard to protect the only two precious things in his life. But you have made it a motto of your life to defy each and everything I say." 

"Oh yeah and if I hadn’t carried my repulsors with me then your precious daughter would have been dead by now.” You jabbed. 

“You are not using that tone with me little miss you are grounded for two weeks." 

"What! That’s outrageous!” you protested. 

“You heard me now go back to your room.”

“Why did you even bring me back? I was better off at my boarding school." 

"Because your father cares about your safety." 

"The only thing you care about is your reputation. That is why the avengers broke up in the first place. That is why Cap is not with us nor is Nat." 

"Now you are crossing your limit girl.”

“You never saw me as your daughter dad, admit it you just see me as your heiress. It has always been about you and your goddamn ego!!” your face reddened with anger. 

“That’s it I had enough of your reckless behaviour go to your room now!” Tony lost his temper. 

“As long as you are under my roof you are bound to follow whatever I say!" 

"Fine then I’m leaving!!” tears spilled out your eyes. 

“Where do you think you are going at this hour?" 

"Wherever my eyes lead me to!!” You yelled. 

“Y/N! Wait!” Pepper called you back but you ran off rubbing your eyes. 

Tony collapsed on the couch holding his head. Pepper sat beside him rubbing his shoulder. 

“Was I hard on her?” he asked weakly. 

“I think you might have gone a little overboard with her Tony." 

"It was for her good only.’' 

"I know Tony you were just trying to protect her.”

“I think I failed to be a good father.”

“No Tony you have tried your best but she’s growing up now you have to understand that you can’t always keep her away from danger. You have to let her go, she has to learn to deal with the world on her own. Just have a little faith in her.”

“I mean if it wasn’t for Y/N carrying the repulsors with her they would have been trapped in the elevator for how long god only knows.” Pepper made him understand. 

“I know and I’m really proud of her." 

"Then show her that you are, everything she does is just to get a little appreciation from her dad.”

“Yeah you’re right maybe I have been a little cold towards her. I should go find her.”

“Don’t worry she’ll come back once she cools down. She is a Stark with the brains; she has inherited your stubbornness too, gotta deal with that.” Pepper chuckled trying to lighten the mood. 

“Didn’t know parenting will be so hard.” He chuckled. 

“Think about my condition then, I have to take care of a headstrong teenager as well as a man child." 

You had your earphones on as you walked briskly down the busy road. You weren’t paying much attention to your surroundings so you couldn’t hear the honking of the truck behind you but before it could hit you, you were swooped from the ground. You found yourself in the arms of none other than spiderman. 

"Peter if you drop me I swear I’m gonna blast your ass off.” You wriggled in his arms. 

“Just stop moving will you? Or else we both will fall.”

“Oh! my god I’m not looking anymore.” You buried your face in the crook of his neck panicking. 

He finally put you down on the terrace of a building and took his mask off. 

“What were you thinking?” He frowned. 

“What was I thinking!? Why the hell are you even here?!” you huffed 

“I just saved your life and you are yelling at me!”

“Nobody asked you to but thank you spiderman. Happy now?! “ You jabbed. 

"You could have got hurt Y/N” Peter said softly. 

“Why do you even care?!" 

"We are friends Y/N and that’s what friends do, they care." 

"Nobody cares about me Peter! Nobody!” you screamed. 

“Hey everything alright?” He asked with concern placing his hands on your shoulders. You soften a little bit as tears brimmed your eyes. Peter pulled you closer embracing you in a hug. You cried your heart out. 

“Hey it’s gonna be okay you can tell me.” He said caressing the back of your head. 

“I’m sorry I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that. Was in a bad mood, had a fight with dad.” You sniffled pulling yourself back from him. 

“Yeah I understood." 

"Care to tell why?" 

"You know my dad how control freak he can be. He was mad at me for carrying my repulsors and participating in the decathlon. So had an argument, things got heated and I ran out of the house." 

You both sat on the edge of the terrace. You took out two beer cans from your bag and handed one to him. 

"Here take" 

"I don’t drink plus it’s illegal" 

"Jeez you are really the embodiment of a perfect good boy just like my mom said.”

“Mom?”

“Yeah I know people get confused that why do I call Pepper mom but she is the best.”

“You are really close to her aren’t you?”

“That’s true.. Umm where to start actually. First of all I’m a product of one of my dad’s crazy night escapades which pretty sure didn’t go well because I’m here in front of you.” You chuckled. 

“My mom I mean my biological mother left me at his doorstep in a casket when I was around nine months as per I was told with a note." 

She’s yours. I can’t take her responsibility. 

"My dad initially was shocked and worried about his image and reputation in public after they would get to know about his secret daughter. He was up for giving me for adoption but then Pepper I mean my mom stepped in. She was ready to take up my responsibility while working for my dad. My dad agreed eventually. And since that day I have known her as my mother. My biological mother wouldn’t have done half of the things she has done for me all these years.”

“You and I are on the same page then. After my parents’ disappearance aunt May and uncle Ben looked after me as their own son. For me they will always be my parents.”

“At least you don’t have daddy issues, you didn’t have to wake up one fine day to know your dad has been kidnapped by the ten rings set up by Stane and then in no time the world knows him as the Ironman. Then he shipped me off to a boarding school citing my safety. Which I initially thought he didn’t want me around him but then our house got blown by the Mandarin and then I realized he maybe is worried about me. And then Avengers broke up and you came into our lives. Dad never praised me or even said that he liked me and I hated it when he praised you like non stop Peter is this, Peter is that. Can you imagine I was transferred to Midtown High because he wanted me to be with you so I could learn something from you.”

“I would say that’s an exaggeration. 

But now I get it why is he so fond of you. You are really a good guy Peter.”

“Thanks I guess.” Peter blushed. 

“Okay enough of my sob story. Now can you enlighten me spidey why was Ned carrying an explosive Chitauri core in his bag?" 

"Uh explosive.. What explosive??” Peter stammered. 

“Did anyone ever tell you that you are a terrible liar? Plus I had the place scanned by FRIDAY, now tell me the truth." 

"You can’t tell Mr Stark about this okay. I have come across a gang of criminals who are making illegal and deadly weapons with alien tech. I told Mr Stark about this but he despised me for getting involved in this." 

"Holy shit!! Dude you are sneaking behind my dad’s back. And he thinks you’re the purest soul on earth. So how much have you progressed with this?” you asked excitedly. 

“Not much actually.”

“Okay then best of luck detective Parker. By the way it was nice talking to you.”

“Anytime” Peter smiled

“One thing I can say Mr Stark loves you a lot Y/N that is why he’s so protective about you. Trust me I know sometimes it might feel a little annoying but when that person is gone from your life forever then you get to understand his worth. Don’t do anything that you might have to regret later.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Okay then let’s get you home shall we?”

“Yup need to apologise to my old man." 

You hold on to Peter tightly as you swinged across the city back to the compound. You tiptoed to the lab to find your dad working. 

"Hey Dad” you called out softly. Tony turned to see you standing at the door he got up and rushed to you hugging you tightly, heaving a sigh of relief. 

“Oh! Y/N you’re back! I’m so sorry for yelling at you like that.”

“I’m sorry too I should have listened to you.”

“No honey you did the right thing you saved so many lives and I’m proud of you.”

“Really?!” you were overwhelmed and shocked to hear that, this was the first time your father actually praised you. 

“Of course dear I’m so lucky to have a daughter like you. I know I have become a sort of overprotective father but can you forgive your old man? He just fears that you don’t turn out like him." 

"Hey I will be glad if I become just like you. You are the best.” You snuggled into him. 

***************************************

Spiderman became a hot topic in the whole school . Peter was overwhelmed with how everyone was talking about him. But to his luck the Principal sent him to detention for ditching the team. But Peter decided to sneak off from there to catch the bad guys. At home with the help of Karen he came to know about Aaron Davis the buyer he saved the other day. He went to confiscate him and persuaded Davis to reveal Toomes’ whereabouts that they were having a deal at the Staten Island Ferry at 11 am. He reached spot to catch them red handed. 

“Incoming call from Tony Stark.” Karen notified. 

“No, no, no. Don’t answer!” Peter panicked. 

“Mr. Parker, got a sec?" 

"Uh, I’m actually at school." 

"No, you’re not!” Karen said

“Nice work in DC, my dad never really gave me a lot of support and I’m just trying to break the cycle…" 

 "I’m kinda in the middle of something right now." 

"Don’t cut me off when I’m complimenting you. Anyway, great things are about to happen." 

The Staten Island Ferry horn goes off

"What is that?" 

"Uh, I’m at band practice." 

"That’s odd. Happy told me you quit the band six weeks ago. What’s up?" 

"I gotta go. End call!” Peter abruptly ended the call. 

“Hey!…”

Aboard the Staten Island Ferry, Parker captures Toomes’ new buyer Mac Gargan, but Toomes escapes when the FBI reaches the scene and interrupts Peter’s plans. A malfunctioning weapon explodes, tearing the ferry in half. Peter desperately tried to keep the ferry from falling apart by webbing them up but it went to vain as it wasn’t strong enough to hold the two halves. He held onto the ends of his webs in a last attempt to save the passengers in the ferry. Just then he felt the tension easing as a man shouted. 

“Yeah it’s Ironman and Ironheart!”

“Hi spiderman band practise was it?” Tony quipped. 

As soon as you got the news you and your dad came to the rescue. You both flew to the opposite sides and pushed the two halves of the ferry to join them together. Your dad then welded the joints with lasers to prevent them from falling apart again. 

“Mr Stark!”

“Hey Mr Stark! Can I do anything? What do you want me to do?” Peter asked. 

“I think you have done enough.”

“You can handle it from here right?” Tony asked you. 

“Yeah dad.” you assured him. 

“Talk to the feds and call in the Stark Relief Foundation.” he instructed. 

“Okay dad.”

“Let me go and have a word with our young rebel. Gosh you teenagers!” Tony scoffed and then flew to the high rise building where Peter was sitting sadness clouding his features. 

“Previously on Peter Screws the Pooch, I tell you to stay away from this. Instead, you hacked a multi-million dollar suit so you could sneak around behind my back doing the one thing I told you not to do." 

"Is everyone okay?” Peter asked weakly

“No thanks to you." 

"No thanks to me? Those weapons were out there, and I tried to tell you about it, but you didn’t listen. None of this would’ve happened if you’d just listened to me! If you even cared, you’d actually be here.” Peter ranted out. Tony  steps out of his suit to reveal that he is actually there

“ I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Did you know that I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14-year-old kid.”

“I’m 15." 

"No, this is where you ZIP IT, all right? The adult is talking! What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? 'Cause that’s on you. And if you died, I feel like that’s on me. I don’t need that on my conscience." 

"Yes sir. I’m sorry." 

"Sorry” doesn’t cut it.“

"I understand. I just wanted to be like you.”

“And I wanted you to be better. Okay, it’s not working out. I’m gonna need the suit back." 

"For how long?" 

"Forever." 

"No! No, no, no! Please, please, please.” Peter begged. 

“Let’s have it.” Tony was adamant. 

“You don’t understand. This is all I have. I’m nothing without this suit.” Peter said desperately 

 "If you’re nothing without this suit, then you shouldn’t have it, okay? God, I sound like my dad” Tony scoffed. 

"I don’t have any other clothes.” Peter said quietly. 

“Okay, we’ll sort that out." 

Peter went home all exhausted. Aunt May was hell worried about him. Peter finally broke down in front of her revealing that he lost the internship. May consoled him and asked him not to worry. Peter was sent to detention, MJ used to accompany him to cheer him up. 

You were talking to MJ as you saw Peter across the hall all gloomy. You excused yourself and went up to him. 

***********************************

"Hey you’re not going to talk to me also?" 

"Why no- why would I do that?" 

"I heard about what my dad did so I thought maybe you are angry about it. I swear I didn’t tell him anything." 

"Hey I’m not blaming you for anything Y/N instead you saved so many lives and you’re my best friend. I trust you the most." 

"Best friend?” you were slightly taken aback by the new tag he gave to your relationship. 

“Umm sorry I thought maybe after that night we are good friends now.”

“Hey no it’s fine I actually never had a best friend or even actual friends so it’s kind of overwhelming for me.”

“I just thought maybe he told you to stay away from me." 

"What? No! And even if he did, when have I ever listened to him?" 

"I think he is right. I really put him down." 

"Hey it’s gonna be fine you didn’t mean any harm. I know my dad you’ll get back your suit. He’s just a little upset that his young apprentice would turn out to be such a rebel.” You tried to cheer up his mood. 

“So what about homecoming? Did you ask Liz yet?" 

"No not yet.” he said meekly. 

“Then go and ask her out before it’s too late.” Peter eventually asks Liz to go to the homecoming dance with him. On the night of the dance, Peter discovers that Toomes is Liz’s dad. Deducing his secret identity from Liz’s account about him, Toomes threatens retaliation if he continues to interfere with his plans. During the dance, Peter realizes Toomes is planning to hijack a D.O.D.C. plane transporting weapons from Avengers Tower to the team’s new headquarters he leaves Liz alone during the dance to stop him. You see Peter running away and decide to go after him. Peter dons his old homemade Spider-Man suit. Though he is ambushed by Schultz, he defeats him with Ned’s help. 

You catch sight of Ned in the hallway. 

“Hey where’s Peter?" 

"Oh Y/N!” Ned sighed a relief seeing you. He explained to you the whole situation. 

“Wait let me call Happy.” You tried calling him but every time it went unanswered. 

“Happy for God’s sake pick up the damn phone!” You groaned in frustration. 

“Maybe we can hack in the mainframe.” Ned suggested. 

“Good idea Ned I’ll help you with the codes.”

In the meantime Peter stole Flash’s car and asked you to track his phone he left in Toomes car. Ned provided him the location. 

Suddenly Ms Warren barged in, you quickly hid under the table. She saw Ned and asked

“What are you doing here? There’s a dance" 

"I’m looking at porn.” He replied awkwardly 

You slapped your forehead listening to his lame excuse. 

At the lair Peter confronts Toomes, but he destroys the building’s support beams and leaves Peter to die. Peter escapes the rubble and intercepts the plane, steering it to crash on the beach near Coney Island. He and Toomes continue fighting, ending with Peter saving Toomes’ life after the damaged Vulture suit explodes, and leaving him for the police along with the plane’s cargo.

You were back in the compound pacing back and forth in your room when you heard a knock on your window. 

“Oh god! Peter!” you sighed a relief as you ran to open the window and let him in. 

“Oh my god! you are hurt very badly" 

"Oh it’s nothing, I’m used to this.” he winced limping on his feet. 

“Okay tough guy sit down now let me bring the first aid and clean your wounds." 

You sat in front of him as you dabbed a cotton ball in the disinfectant solution and gently cleaned his wounds. Peter winced at the stinging sensation. 

"Sorry but it will sting a little.” You started smiling while cleaning his wounds. 

“What is the matter?" 

"Nothing just thinking about the luck you have got. The girl you liked, her father, turned out to be a criminal doing business with stolen high tech weapons.” You let out an airy laugh. 

“Oh no this is bad.” Peter tensed up.

“Why? you did a good job in catching him red handed.”

“No but in a way I ruined Liz’s life. She would be so devastated after knowing about her father.” Peter said with remorse. 

“Peter it wasn’t your fault she needs to know about the real face of her father.” Peter got up and started pacing in your room. 

“No Y/N it isn’t her fault that her father is a criminal. I really feel sorry for what I did, she doesn’t deserve this. I have to apologise to her tomorrow." 

He continued rambling, you were getting frustrated with him blaming himself for doing the right thing. And you did the unexpected to stop him. You grabbed his face and kissed him, catching him off guard. Peter’s eyes went wide in shock, his heart racing a million miles per hour. After you pulled away, his heart was still pounding at an alarming rate. 

"That shut you up.” You said casually as if the kiss wasn’t a big deal for you, you wiped your lips with the back of your hand and scrunched your face with the taste on your lips. 

“Strawberry lip balm? What are you a little girl?” you quipped, finally noticing the mortified look on his face as he stood there like a statue, eyes blown wide still recovering from what just happened. You narrowed your eyes. 

“Wait, was this your first kiss?” Peter was snapped out of the daze as his face turned red. 

“Umm..” he was at a loss of words. Your mouth went wide as you realized it was indeed his first kiss. 

“Oh I’m so sorry Peter! I ruined your first kiss!” you apologized. 

“No it’s OK it was.. It was.” Should he say it was good? Because for an unknown reason he really felt good. But how can he say that to you. You’re Y/N Stark, the Tony Stark’s daughter. Why would you like a nerd like him? 

“I know it was awkward. I know you didn’t imagine your first kiss to be like this, that too someone you don’t have any feelings for, sorry for ruining it. Just forget something like this happened okay." 

"And don’t tell my dad if your life is dear to you.” you warned. 

“Umm okay I should get going then.”

“yeah.” he swung out of the window. 

“Be careful!” you cautioned and then turned around flattening yourself against the wall of your room letting out an exasperated sigh. The casual attitude you were putting up in front of him was all fake. You were bothered, your cheeks started getting heated up for a reason that you can’t put a pin on it. This wasn’t to happen; you have had your share of fun with boys at your previous school without any feelings involved but why did kissing Peter give butterflies in your stomach? You are Y/N Stark, you can’t fall for a nerd like Peter or did you? 

**********************************************

After her father’s arrest, Liz and her mother decided to move to California. Peter apologizes to Liz before she leaves. MJ is appointed as the new captain of the decathlon team. You skipped school today because your dad asked you to stay for a press meet and of course you wanted to get over your lingering feelings for Peter. 

Tony sent Happy to bring Peter to the compound. Peter was in awe when he arrived at the Avengers facility. Tony went and patted Peter’s back like a proud dad. 

“Sorry I took your suit. I mean, you had it coming. Actually, it turns out it was the perfect sort of tough love moment that you needed, right? To urge you on, right? Wouldn’t you think? Don’t you think?" 

"I– I guess.” Peter said nervously. 

“Let’s just say it was." 

"Mr. Stark, I really" 

"You screwed the pooch hard. Big time. But then, you did the right thing. Took the dog to the free clinic, you raised the hybrid puppies. Alright, not my best analogy– I was wrong about you. I think, with a little more mentoring, you could be a real asset to the team." 

"To the– To the– To the team?” Peter couldn’t believe his ears. 

“Yeah, anyway. There’s about 50 reporters behind that door. Real ones, not bloggers. When you’re ready– Tony reveals the Iron Spider suit. 

"Why don’t you try that on? and I’ll introduce the world to the newest official member of the Avengers: Spider-Man." 

Peter was at loss of words seeing the new suit Tony made for him. He couldn’t be any happier but something clicked in his brain. 

"Thank you Mr Stark but I’m - I’m good." 

"You good? How are you good?" 

"Umm I would rather stay on the ground for a while just being a friendly neighbourhood spiderman somebody got to look for the little guy." 

"You are turning me down? You better think about this, look at that, look at me last chance yes or no?" 

"No”

“Okay.”

“Where’s the kid?”

“He left”

“Everybody’s waiting”

“You know what he actually made a really mature choice." 

"He told the kid to go wait in the car." 

"Are you kidding me?" 

"Did you guys screw this up?" 

"What’s the matter? Everyone’s waiting there” you came out of the room too. 

“These two had one job and they failed miserably." 

"Let me guess Peter declined your offer. Good for him only” You smirked. 

“And now I’ve a room full of people waiting for some big announcement what am I going to tell them?”

“Think about something,” Tony said. 

“What about your engagement? That’s been long due.” You suggested. 

“What?!" 

"Great idea! Happy still got the ring?" 

"I got the ring? Yeaah, I have been carrying it since 2008.” Pepper gave a weird look.

“Okay" 

"I think I can come up with something better than that." 

"Well it would buy us little time” Tony kisses pepper. 

“Like we need time.” Tony mumbled with a smirk. 

“Jeez! get a room you guys.” You gagged. 

“And maybe give me a sibling it’s really boring over here being all by myself.” You added. 

Pepper cleared her throat and strides back to the room muttering. 

“I can’t believe you had it in your pocket." 

"Why aren’t you having fun with Peter?” your dad asked you out of nowhere. You choked on your spit as the memories from last night flashed back. 

“We rarely see each other after school he is mostly busy with his neighbourhood patrolling plus he’s no fun." 

"But I think you have started to like him.” Tony smirked. You understood his reference. 

“What! no way! And- and he’s not even my type.”

“Good I’m not even allowing you to date anybody before you turn 50.”

“Huh! As if I need your permission in this matter.” You gave a sly grin. 

“What is that supposed to mean?” Tony frowned. 

“Dad, you are 'The’ genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist Tony Stark and I’m your daughter. Is it that hard to figure it out?” Tony’s eyes widened as a sudden realization dawned upon him. 

“Wait on a damn second! Which weasley scumbag defiled you? Tell me his name! I’m gonna blast his weener off!”

“Uhh…I think mom is calling me, let me go and check.Okay bye!” You ran inside. 

“You come back right now! We are not done yet young lady!” your dad yelled from behind.

QUESTIONABLE™:

invincible iron man vol 1 (2008) – matt fraction’s iron man run…it’s ..ok story wise? however the characterization is a lil off at times and the art is HORRIBLE

iron man vol 5 (2013) – ok so this comic is super weird ? because it’s nice that tony spends time out in space but also it confirms that he’s a furry apparently. pretty much the only truly average iron man comic

avengers vol 8 (2018) – okay so i really like the art and the story’s okay but there’s a bit where tony flirts w carol and it’s the most ooc thing ive ever seen and that’s enough to land it in the questionable category

tony stark: iron man (2018) – i debated over whether to put this here or in the Bad™ category BUT valerio schiti’s art is too beautiful and the rhodeytony content fuels me. also issues 12 and 13 (war of realms) written by gail simone are pretty good. unfortunately dan slott wrote the rest and it AINT IT CHIEF

gwenpool strikes back (2019) – it starts off strong in the first issue but goes downhill from there and tbh it’s not really respectful of the previous gwenpool run

magnificent ms marvel (2019) – ok listen i love kamala a lot but if theres gonna be a romance plot between her and bruno it’s the electric chair

BAD. AVOID AT ALL COSTS™

iron man vol 2 (1996) – just. don’t touch this. it’s a hot mess

civil war (2006) – i hate this. so much. it’s unreal. all you need to know is that steve was real close to killing tony in the end but surrendered when he saw that he no longer had the moral high ground. and also steve got assassinated right before he was going to be put on trial

mighty avengers (2007) – this comic had the potential to be SO good. unfortunately the artists for the actual avengers issues don’t respect women at all

superior iron man (2015) – they made tony evil and i could not be more angry with it. who even fucking wants to read this theres not even any emotional payoff for any of this

civil war ii (2016) – i would hit this stupid comic in the knees if i could. there is not a single c*vil w*r with rights. all you need to know is that carol put tony into a coma and it’s super ooc

iron man 2020 (2020) – listen i know this comic hasn’t come out yet but it has all the ingredients to be EVEN WORSE than superior iron man which is saying a lot.

this took way too much effort

When will comic book writers learn to stop telling us the replacement character is better?

An annoying trope in comic books is when a hero is killed or otherwise shelved- whether temporarily or permanently (but usually temporary)- and other characters (or even the replacement) are used to tell us how much better the new character is compared to the one they are replacing.

Most recently we saw this heavily in Marvel during that 2015 to 2017 craze of swapping out the entire A list roster with new characters that clearly were not going to last. (i.e. Jane Foster, who was literally dying of cancer, so it practically screamed “This is temporary!” despite what Marvel writers indicated in interviews and Q and As.)

For a while Marvel practically bashed peoples’ heads with the fact that Riri Williams, (Ironheart) at just fifteen-years-old, was apparently more intelligent than Tony Stark.  They told us this over... and over, and over again...

Even going as far as to have Tony Stark himself telling the reader this, repeatedly!

But the character most guilty of this annoying sin is Daniel Hall AKA Dream of The Endless for DC and Vertigo comics.

Look at this little asshole, comparing trying to stop a serial killer to the first Corinthian’s serial killer convention.   “Your intentions are of little importance.”  The so-called “nicer” version of Dream, ladies and gentlemen!

It’s going to take a miracle for Neil Gaiman to revert Daniel to the kinder / gentler version of Dream he was intended to be.  There is a taint left over for every single one of us who read The Dreaming all the way through.

Here he’s saying he would have uncreated Echo in issue 60 of The Dreaming.  I don’t particularly like the character of Echo but for God’s sake he’s talking about how if he was still Morpheus he would have uncreated her... For getting herself posessed?!   Ass-hoooooole.

And it’s not just Daniel, himself.  You get a similar feeling from Merv in Merv Pumpkinhead’s oneshot from the Sandman Presents line “Mervyn Pumpkinhead: Agent of D.R.E.A.M.”

Daniel isn’t just guilty of himself and other characters talking about how much better he is when compared to Morpheus, he’s also done it TO other characters.

He tells the new Green Lantern that he will surpass Hal Jordan... Twice.

Essentially Daniel becomes a Mouthpiece for DC comics in issue 22 of JLA volume 3 (2008) to say “Don’t worry, readers, you’ll like this guy more than Hal Jordan!  You’ll see!”

Stop that!  Stop using other characters (or even the replacements themselves or the one they are replacing) to tell us how much better the new guy is.   It’s almost never true that the replacement is preferred.  In fact you start to resent the replacement when they say and do things like this to insist to the reader that the new one is better.    

Every time Daniel says “I am not precisely who I once was...” it feels like it could be translated to “I’m so much NICER than Morpheus!   Now try to pretend I’m not being a horrible dickhead at the moment and doing something Morphes would never have done even before his capture!  Aren’t I better?!??”

I never wanted to bash Morpheus in the head with a brick yet during the later part of The Dreaming I wanted Daniel to just die.  I know The Dreaming has been retconned but the taint is still there!

Someone, please fix Daniel!  Let him co-exist with Morpheus, I think I can forgive his nearly twenty three years of bad writing if you let them co-exist.  (But don’t let anyone other than Neil Gaiman write Morpheus, he needs protections from bad writing.) 

Again, if you want us to like a new character than show us how good they are, don’t tell.  Don’t have the original character go “Boy! That random new teenage girl is a lot smarter than me!” or “Wow, I wish I was as honorable as you, new Thor!  I am no longer worthy of the name my mother called me in the crib before I ever had the hammer. Only you are the true Thor now!” or “Wow!  You’re MUCH stronger than original Hulk!” Or in the case of Daniel Hall “I’m so much kinder than my previous-self, I’m going to stand back and watch the rest of you fight my battles for me now and then get vicious and angry if you question me about it.  Also, Hal Jordan sucked.  You’ll love whats-his-name instead!”     

Please, stop...  You don’t succeed in making the new character look better, in fact, often you end up making them look kind of dickish (I again refer you to Daniel Hall in The Dreaming). It disrespects the character that came before them and all the fans who loved that character that now may potentially be gone forever (they rarely are).  I also especially dislike the ham-handed approach of telling me how I should perceive a new character.   

Has this approach to making the readers embrace a new or replacement character ever actually worked?

LBR-Pirate Fighting Bats

In this week of comics,

All-Star Batman 10 (The First Ally Part One):  Now, it may come as a surprise to some of you that I love Scott Snyder’s writing.  It’s okay, I’ll take a moment for your shock to pass.  Snyder, as always with this series, brought his A-game, cycling in Rafael Albuquerque and Jordie Bellaire into the book for a Bruce-and-Alfred team up in Miami.  On the trail of Hush, Bruce finds an opportunity to get ahold of a device called a Genesis Engine, up for bid at a fortress owned by the modern descendants of some of the biggest names during the great age of pirates.  So Bruce goes undercover as himself, only to find them expecting Hush to be brokering the deal, where it all goes south.  Luckily, Bruce is able to quickly beat his armed assailants, only to find the leader, the descendant of Blackbeard, dead with his heart surgically removed moments during the firefight.  And somehow, this all leads back to Alfred.  It’ll be interesting to see in the flashbacks of Alfred’s youth in London and in Gotham, as this story does make the argument that Julia Pennyworth’s rebellious attitude is more of Alfred’s than it is her mother’s.  The B-story has Bruce undercover in Moscow, taking on the Russian Mafia, can’t wait to see what develops of it.

Detective Comics 956 (League of Shadows-The Duel):  Cass and the rest of Bat-Ops fight Shiva to a standstill, with a nuclear device ready to go off and a swarm of napalm droves from The Colony coming down into the cave.  Things are interrupted by Ra’s, coming for Shiva and the defectors.  Batman and Ra’s have a chat, and things definitely aren’t over between the two, something is up. At the end of the book Bruce is ready to delve into the world of magic to get a leg up on what Ra’s has planned.  It does bear noting that supposedly there was a page omitted from the final copy of this issue, something related to what happens in The Button.  But since I can’t definitively say what it is I’ll leave it at that.

Gotham Academy: Second Semester 09 (The Ballad of Olive Silverlocke Part One):  So Calamity, possessing Olive, is systematically going through her list against the families that were responsible for her death, causing the academy to go into lockdown and for Kyle to leave.  While Pizza Club runs into the Terrible Trio as they try to figure out how to beat Calamity, Calamity comes face to face (to face) with Harvey Dent, who ends up siding with Calamity against the various families of Gotham, with The Penguin next on their list.

Ms.Marvel 18 (Meanwhile in Wakanda):  Okay so the book ends up doing a oneshot of what Bruno’s been up to since he left for Wakanda, and honestly, he’s miserable.  Between being the dumbest person at his new school and not being able to use his arm and needing a crutch to walk, Bruno’s feeling like all he did during Civil War II was wreck his future.  But it ends up his roommate Kwezi, needs some help, so the two end up going to a facility where Vibranium is being kept, and through some poor decision making, Bruno ends up meeting T’Challa.  Apparently Kwezi is a nephew of T’Challa, and was going to use the Vibranium to build a device to assist Bruno in giving back some of his motor functions.  This book was good, the only thing I’ve got say about it is that, due to outside factors, I might have to drop this from my monthly pull-list.

All-New Wolverine 20 (Immune Part Two):  Laura’s on Roosevelt Island, trying to figure out what to do to cure the airborne virus.  The holographic talking heads of the smartest people on Earth aren’t giving her any definitive answers but her and Ironheart end up getting pulled off to a part of the island where someone may be trying to escape.  Turns out Gabby is actually doing the opposite, entering the island, and apparently there are AIM agents trying to solve the cure to the disease as well.  So team up time!  Turns out Laura’s physiology acts as a magnet to the disease, so it seems who ever she touches or is in skin-to-skin contact is safe from the virus.

All in all, a good week, All-Star Batman 10 is my pick of the week if you couldn’t tell by the amount of what I had to say about it.
