🕑 Added 2023-04-24 12:40:13 +0000 UTCPeter stood in the mirror dimension, his spider-sense tingling as he sensed Jean’s powers continue to grow with no end in sight.
‘Now, how should I handle this?’ Peter wondered as he watched Jean slowly burn her way out of his Reality Stone powered spell, her red hair glowing with fiery energy while her eyes burning with an otherworldly intensity.
She turned to face him, her expression cold and unyielding.
"Don’t worry, Jean." Peter spoke warmly, hoping the sane portion of her mind was listening. "I won’t hurt you too badly, but I’ll have to get a little rough nonetheless."
Jean didn't answer, instead lifting her now free hands and unleashing a wave of telekinetic energy at him.
Peter dodged and weaved, narrowly avoiding the blast, and shot a web at her, hoping to immobilize her.
Sadly, she easily burned it away with a flick of her wrist.
Peter leaped forward, aiming a kick at her head. Jean, empowered by the Phoenix, tried to catch his leg, but he wouldn’t allow that.
Spinning mid-air, Peter kicked her hand away with one leg and kicked her head like a soccer ball with the other, sending her crashing into a nearby building, shattering its windows.
Peter landed perfectly on his feet and watched as the entire building Jean was in exploded in red hot flames.
Jean's eyes flared with even more power as she stepped out of the burning building, eyeing Peter angrily.
“What’s with that look?” Peter asks tauntingly before giving her a shrug. “I tried to do things peacefully. If you can’t handle the heat, then step out of the kitchen.”
In response, Jean unleashed a barrage of telekinetic attacks at him, sending him sliding back across the street.
Though thankfully, Peter was able to stay on his feet.
He thought of counter with his web-slinging skills, but Jean would probably just burn them again.
Finally, Peter saw an opening and charged forward, aiming a punch at Jean's face. But Jean was too quick, and she caught his fist in mid-air, crushing it with her rapidly increasing strength.
“Ugh...” Peter grunted in pain but didn't give up, jabbing with his other fist, surprising her.
“That wasn’t very nice.” Peter commented as Jean tumbled across the street and landed on her back.
Of course, Jean wouldn’t stay down for long, using her telekinesis to climb back to her feet, glaring at Peter with her brows furrowed.
Though it wasn’t just a simple glare.
Since physically fighting wasn’t producing the results that she was hoping for, Jean decided to unleash a massive blast of telepathic energy in his direction.
Her goal was simple.
Destroy Peter's conscious and unconscious mind, turning him into a vegetable for the rest of his life.
And although Peter was caught off guard by this form of attack, his many defenses weren’t, easily deflecting everything right back at her.
“AAAGGH!” Jean screamed as she collapsed to her knees, cradling her head.
“Oops... That’s gotta hurt...” Peter muttered as his defenses acted on their own. ‘Hopefully, I didn’t scramble her brains...’
Pushing through the pain, Jean picked her head up and glared at her opponent, her eyes still burning with the power of the Phoenix Force.
"You fought well, Jean." Peter said, his voice calm and understanding. "But we should stop this now. I can help you learn control, but you have to take hold of it yourself first. Don’t let it sweep you away like this."
Jean tried to get up, but her body wouldn't cooperate, stumbling to the ground once again.
Summoning all her strength, Jean burned brightly as she rose to her feet once again, ignoring the throbbing pain in her head.
“You don’t give up easily, huh?” Peter commented with a sigh.
Kicking off the ground, Peter used the opportunity of her hurt mind to unleash a final punch to the side of her head, hitting her with all the strength he could muster.
After all, the Phoenix should be able to keep her alive.
Once again, Jean flew backward, her eyes flickering for a moment, returning to the old Jean before burning brightly once again.
Peter seized the chance, grabbing her by the back of the head and slamming her into the concrete sidewalk, hoping to awaken her fully this time.
But Jean wouldn’t let that happen and used her telekinesis to fling him away, break her fall in the process.
"That telekinesis of yours is really useful." Peter said as he landed on his feet. ‘Maybe I should evolve with her blood next?’
After all, telepathy and telekinesis would be good additions to his growing list of superpowers.
And if he’s lucky enough, he might even get some of her Phoenix host abilities as well.
...
As the fight continued in the mirror dimension, Peter could see that Jean was completely consumed by the Phoenix Force.
He knew that reasoning with her was no longer an option and that he had to find a way to subdue her and free her from the Phoenix Force's influence.
‘That might work...’ Peter thought as he dodged another telekinetic blast. “Hey, I'm going to try something new so try not to die, okay?”
Since the spell he used to bind her was burned away, Peter put his Mystic Arts on the back burner and pulled out his newest trump card.
Of course, he could have tried a couple more advanced spells or even fall back on the Reality Stone, but he also wanted to test out a theory of his.
“?” Jean stilled as she wondered what he would do.
She watched as her opponent swelled and grew, muscles bulging and expanding.
Peter’s spider suit stretched alongside him, perfectly containing his giant figure without a single tear in its fabric.
The most menacing addition to his transformation was most definitely the glowing eyes.
His masks white eyes seemed to glow, signifying a bright light underneath.
“Remember, don’t die, okay?” Peter repeater as he kicked off the ground and disappeared.
“?!” Jean's glowing eyes widened as he appeared before her in a burst of pure speed.
How his huge body could move so quickly was truly a mystery.
Swiping his hand at her, Peter easily swatted Jean away like a fly, but she quickly regained her sense, unleashing a barrage of psychic attacks while soaring through the air.
Peter's Spider-Sense tingled, warning him of each attack, but he didn’t bother dodging this time around.
“Huh? That tickled.” He commented as her attacks hit his body, doing absolutely nothing to his new hulking frame.
Seeing this, Jean felt genuine fear for the first time since unlocking her Phoenix powers.
Launching another telekinetic assault out of fear, Peter simply shook his head and stomped over, taking the attacks with ease.
He swung his hand forward and grasped her entire body, binding her burning form.
Picking her up and holding her at eye level, Peter felt the heat from her flaming figure warming his hand.
Struggling to free herself, Jean continued to lash out with her telekinetic powers.
“Hmm, you’d make a good space heater.” Peter said as he gave her a quick squeeze
“AHHHH!!!” Jean screamed in pain as her bones creaked under the pressure.
“Stop struggling...” Peter warned as he eased up on his grip.
Of course, Jean's mind was filled with nothing but fury and destruction, so she didn’t listen.
But Peter managed to keep hold of her, squeezing once again to teach her just how useless it was.
As she struggled, a bright light began to shine from within Jean's chest, emanating from the Phoenix Force.
“?” Peter watched in interest as he felt her begin to pry his fingers apart. ‘I should test it now...’
Activating his most precious Red Hulk ability, Peter waited and hoped that his hunch was correct.
...
Suddenly, just as Jean was about to escape his grasp, Peter felt a surge of hot energy rush into his hand and spread throughout the rest of his body.
“Hehe, it worked!” Peter laughed as Jean's strength swiftly drained, leaving her trapped in his hand once again.
“?!” Jean's eyes widened in confusion as her powers were sucked away from her.
It started with the shroud of flames, which extinguished rather quickly and moved on to the rest of her Phoenix energy.
Slowly, the light began to fade, and Jean's struggles lessened as her mind calmed at a rapid pace.
As Peter continued to hold onto her, he felt the Phoenix Force's hold on Jean weaken, until finally, it dissipated completely.
Lastly, Jean's eyes dimmed and returned to their normal look.
Panting heavily, Peter sat back, watching as Jean slowly awoke in his grasp, looking around in confusion.
‘Taking in all of that energy was exhausting...’ Peter thought as his body glowed in a bright orange sheen.
"S-Spider-Man?! Is that you? What happened?” Jean stuttered in complete confusion as she grimaced in pain, wondering why Earth's favorite hero was so big.
"That’s a long story..." Peter sets her down and shrinks back to his normal form.
Ignoring the confused and shocked look she was giving him, Peter waved his hand and opened a golden portal.
“Come on, I have a bald idiot to yell at.”
