Hello everyone, sorry I haven't updated this story in months. I'm pretty sure you all know I was busy with my other stories but if you haven't I apologize for that. Regardless this story is back and I am still on it.

CRUDEN: Yep Lady Shiva is in this story. She'll be an antagonist for a while but I have plans to make her an ally later. Also I should let you know that I have a poll up that asks if she should be in his harem.

LLHOTF: Bal'Rana is a character from the Legend of Queen Opala. She was introduced in the first game as a post content character and makes a special appearance in the second game. She's supposed to come back in the Origins game and gave her a redesign. Also in regards to Julia watching other spiders, yeah she does watch over them and not just Peter.

Rougarou144: Always bro, always.

Also to everyone reading this chapter, I decided to cut a few ladies from the harem but I will adding a few more ladies to replace them. In addition I will be adding a few Mortal Kombat characters in this story and set up a battle between Peter and Shao Kahn. The MK ladies will be revealed next chapter.

Chapter 11: Payback

On the island of Utopia, everyone was continuing to go on about their business. Lana and Lori started to focus more on their powers, Lorna and Pietro were aiding Hank in the lab in teaching various others about science, and Raven was with Logan and talking about updating the jets for faster travel.

Elsewhere, Xavier was standing near a window and watching as there was still a bit of reconstruction going on Utopia. The door opened and Erik walked in. "Something on your mind Charles?"

"Yes, there is honestly", Charles said.

"Look I miss Peter too but this is a good thing for him. Besides, he's a smart kid and able to defend himself", Erik said as he stood next to Charles.

"I know. It's weird, I want to him grow up and become the great man his father was but at the same time I don't want to lose him either", Charles said as he went to pick up a class of water and began to drink it. "You understand that feeling?"

"More than you know Charles. The only thing we can do is hope for the best" , Erik said as he levitated a metal cup to himself and began drinking. "I trust that Peter will be alright".

"Same here". Charles and Erik looked to see that Logan walked over to them and stood by them. "Peter will be alright and if he is in trouble I trust that he'll make the right decision. What I don't trust is Crayden and his whore of a sister Laquadia". Logan began to smoke is cigar and breathe out smoke from his mouth.

"Logan how many times have I told you not to smoke in here?" Erik asked in slight irritation.

"I thought that you'd forget about that to be honest", Logan with a slight smirk before putting out his cigar by burying the burned end into the palm of his hand. This meant nothing to Logan as he healed immediately. "They are nothing but manipulative trouble makers and I'm glad they left when they could".

"Logan you think everyone from the Beldorian Empire is untrustworthy", Xavier said.

"Not true. There are a few people there that I do trust but I don't care for the rest", Logan said.

"Regardless as to whether they are up to something or not, we no proof of that. Let's find proof of their intentions before we make a mess of things", Erik said.

"I don't know, I think goin there and slashin' em to pieces is a good idea", Logan said.

"Not unless you want to start a war between the Beldorian empire and mutantkind", Charles chimed in.

"Yeah I know. Fine, I'll hold myself back... for now", Logan said with gruff sigh.

"Good man", Charles said as he took another sip. A beeping sound was made and he pulled out a small device. Charles eyes went wide before he spoke again. "I just got an alert for a mutant in the city of New York".

"Alright then, I'll get the team ready in five minutes", Logan said as he walked to the door. "Also I believe it's time we pay that Stark guy a visit for those Sentinels".

"Only get the answers we need. If he is a threat, return immediately to the island", Erik said as he had his back turned.

"You want to deal with him if he is responsible?" Logan asked.

"Yes I do", Erik responded as he slightly turned his head to look at Logan.

"Alright your call", Logan said as he took out another cigar and started smoking again.

"Logan", Erik chastised with slight annoyance.

with Peter

Peter was currently in a hammock sleeping on Bal'Rana's ship. Soon enough, the door opened up as Bal'Rana walked in. "Wake up Creepy Crawly, we're almost at the port", Bal'Rana said waking up Peter.

Peter yawned as he stretched and got out of the hammock. Hours earlier Peter had made an agreement with Bal'Rana to get him to the nearest port in exchange for a small job of getting back her gold from her traitorous crew.

Peter stepped outside of the room and was met by Bal'Rana who was staring out at the ocean with a pair of binoculars. Peter walked beside her and spoke. "So are we close enough to where they are?"

"Yeah they are definitely close by", Bal'Rana said as she handed over the binoculars to Peter. Peter looked at the ships and saw a few members of her crew walking into a bar before he asked a question.

"What caused them to betray you in the first place?" Peter asked out of curiosity.

"If I had to guess, their greed got to them", Bal'Rana said before she walked over to get her sword. "Horse face must have convinced them to betray me with the intent of getting the gold while I became a personal sex slave to those horse monsters".

"That's wrong on so many levels", Peter said her.

"Indeed it is but that's expected from them", Bal'Rana said before she sighed. "To think that after all the adventures we've had they'd just turn on me just like that". Peter placed his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"We'll get them back for this", Peter said as he turned to her and gave back the binoculars.

The Pirate Queen smiled at this and nodded while she took back the binoculars. "Well what are we waiting for? We have treasure to take back!" Bal'Rana said with excitement as she held up her sword.

"Aye aye, Captain!" Peter said as he got ready for the heist.

Elsewhere

Shiva continued her way to find and kill Peter as she entered into a tavern in a nearby town. Shiva grimaced as she saw a group of men drinking and being loud to annoy the other customers. She approached the bar where the bartender was present and sat at bar. "You're new. First time being here?"

"Yes it is", Shiva said before looking back at the men. 'And because of those men, my absolute last time coming here', Shiva thought to herself.

"Alright then. So what would you like?" the waiter asked.

"A glass of water would be nice", Shiva said.

"Coming right up", the waiter said before before he turned around to get her water. As this was happening one of the men sat next to her.

"Hey there, nice to meet you", the man said.

"I'm busy, what do you want?" Shiva said slightly annoyed.

"Nothing much just wanted to talk", the man said as he looked at her.

"I'm not in a talking mood", Shiva said to him with a stern look on her face. The waiter turned around and walked back over to her.

"Here you go ma'am", the waiter said as he gave her her glass of water. Shiva grabbed the glass and began to drink as the man continued to talking.

"I know you're not but I am besides..." the man said before he looked around and whispered to her, "... it would a shame if the dangerous Lady Shiva never explained why she left the League of Shadows".

Shiva stopped drinking and turned back to the man with a glare. "I have nothing to explain to anyone. I was betrayed and Ra's will pay the price for it", Shiva said as she pulled out money from her pocket and placed it on the counter. "Thank you for the water sir. I'll be taking my leave". Shiva got up and began to leave.

Shiva exited the tavern when she heard something nearby. Soon enough, three ninjas appeared in front of her with swords in their hands. All three men attacked at the same time. Shiva leapt into the air and axe kicked one man and killed him instantly before charging to the others.

The other men tried slashing her but Shiva avoided their attacks again took one of the men's swords. She countered the attacks of one man before she stabbed him through the head. She went to attack the last man she stole the sword from and sliced off his legs and arms in quick succession.

"Ra's was a fool to send you all after me", Shiva said to the downed men.

"It doesn't matter. You can kill me all you won't but Ra's will have your head", the man said with an smirk.

"True but not today", Shiva said before she finished the man off by stabbing his heart. The man inside of the tavern walked out to see what she did and was in awe of what she did.

"Wow, I guess the rumors were true about you huh?" the man said.

"Tell Ra's that after I'm done with this job, he's the next person I will kill". With that, Shiva began to walk away. The man didn't seem troubled and was smiling at her as she left.

"I'll tell him but the result will be the same", the man said under his breath. "No one leaves the League of Shadows and gets away alive".

at the Harbor

Bal'Rana's traitorous crewmen were walking into bar as they were praising themselves for a job well done. As they entered the bar, another figure was on a nearby rooftop. It was Peter as he was looking out.

He looked behind himself and held up an okay hand sign. A few feet away was Bal'Rana who got the message by using her binoculars to see him and began to carry a chest filled with gold on it. Bal'Rana managed to get the chest from her old ship to her new ship with everything still inside.

No one was around to see this happen as she successfully drop the chest on her ship and returned to grab the last one. Once she got on the ship she ran to the side of the ship and made bird sounds.

Peter heard the bird sounds and smiled before he dropped on to the ground and went to the bar. Peter entered to see the crewmen drinking and laughing when Peter made his presence known. "Hey are you all owners of the red ship?" Peter asked.

"Yeah, why? You got a problem with us or something?" one of the pirates asked in a stern tone.

"There is a red-haired woman taking what looks like gold", Peter said to them. This surprised the men as they all jumped from their seats and ran out to their ship.

After some time, the men arrived to Bal'Rana holding a chest and standing at the edge of the ship. "To think I would be stealing from my own backstabbing crew. Was it worth it?"

"How did you escape?! There's no way you could have escape the horsemen!" one of the pirates yelled.

"True I wouldn't have escaped if it weren't for a certain spider to help me. Look behind you", Bal'Rana said to them.

The men told around to be greeted by Peter again who had both his hands pointed at them. "Sorry fellas, nothing personal", Peter said before he sprayed them all with webs and kept them in place.

"Next time think about the consequences before you try to screw someone... cause you'll never know if you'll get screwed in return", Bal'Rana said before she jumped to her ship. She would have missed but Peter jumped and caught her before landing on the ship.

While the men were still struggling to escape the webs, Bal'Rana and Peter began to depart from the harbor.

-Later-

Peter was staring out into the night sky as Bal'Rana walked over to him. "It's beautiful isn't it?" Bal'Rana asked. "Before she stopped doing this with me, my daughter and I would look at the stars every night".

"You have a daughter?" Peter asked.

"Yeah, her name is Za'Nina", Bal'Rana answered as she reminisced about her time with her daughter and her together. "She didn't like being a pirate at all. In the end she stopped and is now seeing someone. The reason I'm still a pirate is because I was looking for something to give to her as a gift".

"You love your daughter don't you?" Peter asked.

"Of course I do", Bal'Rana said as she began drinking some booze. "I just wish I could have been a better mother to her".

"That fact that you love her and doing what you can for her is proof enough that you are a great mother. Never forget that", Peter said to her.

"Thanks creepy crawly", Bal'Rana said as she hugged him. "It'll be a while before we reach the next port so what would you like to do in the mean time?"

"Well I am getting pretty sleepy so I think I'll turn in for the night", Peter answered.

"Alright but you know it is pretty cold out here. Maybe you'd need someone to help you get warm", Bal'Rana said to him.

"Well I don't like cold so I guess it would be good for me", Peter said. Bal'Rana smiled before she grabbed Peter's hand and led him to her quarters.

"Trust me Peter, I'll help you keep warm", Bal'Rana said to him. Peter didn't doubt what she said. It was going to be a long night.

Next time Peter fights monsters with help from another red head. Plus a team goes to find out about Tony Stark.
