The girl pt. 4
Fangs
He had some questions for her. But first he needed to make sure she understood. So he asked if she spoke English. She did the so-so thing with her hands, but that would have to be good enough.
"Who are you?" asked Peter, "Where am I, and what am I doing here?"
She laughed at the questions, not in a rude way, but as if she knew those would be his first questions.
"I am Tidedancer," she said with her words slowly forming as she pulled them from distant memory, "you are on my island in my home, but you won't always see another bedroll, I prefer to sleep on the ceiling sometimes, but I keep it in my room, which is past those vines along with the restroom, hotsprings, my medicinal lab, and a few other rooms. I would've taken you to the lab, but it's the last room down that's currently in use, and you were losing enough blood I just sat you down at the entrance. " she gestured at thick vines that, if he looked closely, held the entrance to another room, which may be a hallway. "As for what you are doing here, you were close enough on the verge of death from that katana and the wound you already had, also I was not quite sure the other one had the knowledge of how to properly clean the wound and give stitches, not to mention none of the ingredients for the healing salve were nearby. You're just lucky you're super-enhanced with a healing factor, or you may have already been nearer death."
"Ok, A, how did you know about my healing factor? B. how much blood did I lose? Finally, C, why not just take me to a hospital?"
"First off, you've been out for about 2-3 days, so I had time to observe it work, not to mention I watch and hear what most cannot. Second, lets just say you lost a lot and leave it at that. Also, why would I take you to a hospital? They would've removed your mask and taken pictures, not to mention their surgical thread can break much easier than what I used."
"So what do you use then?"
"I used threading from certain vines, only found here, mixed with what, after investigating your webs, appears to be the same compound of materials that makes them so strong."
"But can I leave now?"
She shook her head with a small frown, and he thought he saw something move in her long hair, "No, no. You cannot leave for a while yet, until the stitches are removed. You are not allowed to call your father either, nobody can know about my sanctuary, lest they tear it down and I am left with nowhere to go. Not to mention some of the medicinal herbs I use are quite rare, but also rather abundant here."
"Alright, I suppose that makes sense, but one more question. What are you? Like, other than at least mainly human."
She opened her mouth to answer, and then her head turned towards the entrance of the cave. Her frown became more apparent, as she narrowed her eyes, with the pupils becoming slits. He then saw white cat ears appear from her hair and angle towards the outside like satellites, and a matching tail peek out and start lashing from beneath the cloak she also wore. Finally, coming to attention, he heard it, barely visible on the wind. A rustling noise coming from the bushes outside. He then proceeded to watch in horror as a large snake slithered from the undergrowth right up to Tidedancer. It hissed at her multiple times, before finally leaving.
"Stay here, there seems to be suspicious activity outside, approaching the island. You can ask more questions when we get back. Nightshade, the panther, may be in one of the spare rooms sleeping, but you better stay here regardless if she's at the entrance or not!" She barked at him, then took a dive into the ocean without surfacing.
Peter straggled to the entrance watching as she glided underwater to a rowboat, realizing that night had fallen while they were talking. Peter stared at that rowboat for a moment, until he realized the figure on it was Wade. He ran out towards the shore, yelling at Tidedancer to bring it in. It was far enough out that Tidedancer heard him, but Deadpool did not.
She barely surfaced with a grimace, nodding but then gesturing for him to stay hidden while she did so, so that Wade wouldn't see him and go crazy. She went to Deadpool's back and pressed him in the right pressure points so he would fall asleep. She then proceeded to bring in the boat, bringing him inside one of the spare rooms and laying him on an extra bedroll. She brought Peter inside, with a slight glare for leaving the cave, then she used her wings to hide in the shadows. She cast an illusion spell at the door so it wouldn't be there. Meanwhile Peter was standing there gaping at the fact she could make deadpool sleep with just a few quick jabs, and wondering what else she could do and just hasn't yet.
About an hour later, Wade woke up, then pounced Peter into a hug. "PETER!" Your safe! I thought for sure she was gonna unalive you, and...Wait, wheres your mask, she knows your identity now! And where is she anyways? She's such a crazy creature, with those wings and the cat parts, and the red eyes, I swear those look the color of blood! Not to mention she's probably a VAMPIRE"
"WADE!" Peter said, "Calm, DOWN! What are you doing here? Also her eyes are purple, not red, she actually has a name, and apparently can talk to snakes and cats."
"WHAT AM I DOING HERE?!?! You've been gone for THREE DAYS! Everybody is worried, turns out Mr. Stark had a breakdown this morning, and not to mention you got taken away by a crazy lady with wings and cat appendages, and magic, and purple-red eyes, and who apparently can breathe underwater and talk to cats and snakes! When the avengers and I find her, she's gonna be soo--"
"Alright, I think that's enough out of him!" She said, hitting the same points and catching a sleeping Deadpool with ease, then breaking the spell on the door. "I'm taking him back to the city while it's still dark. YOU, bring your bedroll in here and then go take a bath because you stink and i'd rather not keep you in the main room. Also, this time, STAY IN THE CAVE!" She pointed at the cave with the bathing pools, "and then get to sleep, you need to rest and I have herbs to gather and such. And before you say anything, yes I am a vampire, no I do not drink the blood of humans or snakes or cats, and yes I can go out in the sun despite the fact it makes me a bit weaker, and no garlic is not poisonous." She carries Deadpool out to his boat without breaking a sweat and then ties it to vines and states, "Thank goodness he couldn't see the island from there, I think i'll put up an illusion to most people of the open water anyways though, and I think it's best to break the boat." She tows boat out towards NY while Peter considers all that's happened.
Peter had already moved his bedroll, and began undressing to bathe. Luckly, this room, much like Tidedancer's medical lab and her bedroom, had a proper door. He slipped into the cool water of the bathing spring, thankful that he saw spare towels on a shelf near the door.
"Alright," he said aloud, "Now what am I gonna do. Dad apparently broke under my disappearance, when the avengers find Tidedancer they'll probably kill her. Also I apparently have been taken care of by a girl whose my age, but part cat, with bat wings, whose a vampire, and also knows magic and can clearly breathe underwater, and lives on a secret island, with a cat/panther and a scout that appears to be a large snake. Ok then."

Ok, longer chapter this time, and thanks again for sticking around!
Web you later Spiderfans!
(also, if you include Tidedancer in anything, ask me first cause she isn't an actual marvel character but MY exclusive character, which makes her MY property, although she would get made if I said that she was my PROPERTY, cause women only belong to themselves, got it? 'k thanks byyyeeee! <3)
