Lei Kung, the Thunderer, stood at the entrance of the main gate, his weathered face etched with a mixture of awe and gratitude. The other elders of K'un-Lun stood beside him, their expressions a blend of respect and caution.

They had gathered to bid farewell to the formidable warrior who had bested Shou-Lao and brought about an unexpected truce between their ancient city and the Hand.

Peter approached the elders, his demeanor friendly and casual. The power that had once instilled fear in their hearts now seemed to disappear, replaced by a sense of camaraderie and understanding.

"I appreciate all of you gathering here," Peter began, his voice carrying a sense of sincerity. "I believe this agreement will be a step towards peace. And perhaps, cooperation sometime in the future."

Lei Kung, his eyes filled with a mix of reverence and caution, nodded solemnly. "Indeed, you have proven your strength and your intentions. We shall honor this agreement and meet again in 15 years when the gate of K'un-Lun reopens."

Peter smiled under his mask, a spark of hope igniting within him. "I look forward to that day. Until then, I'll ensure the Hand respects this truce."

The elders exchanged glances, their weathered faces showing a flicker of doubt mixed with a newfound sense of trust. They had come to understand that Peter was not their enemy, but a force that could bring about change and balance.

Before leaving, Peter turned to Lei Kung. "Oh, yeah. When Shou Lao wakes up, tell him that I'll visit whenever I have some free time. He owes me a few favors and my daughter will no doubt want to meet a real live dragon..." He said, receiving a stunned nod in return.

As Peter walked off, a familiar voice called out from behind him. "Wait!"

He turned to find Danny Rand, the Iron Fist, standing a few feet away. With Lei Kung and Peter backing him, Danny had been officially pardoned for his crimes against K'un-Lun and released from prison.

"Hey." Peter greeted him with a nod.

Danny stepped up, a noticeable frown on his face. "I just... I wanted to say I'm sorry for attacking you and-" He began to apologize but Peter raised his hand to stop him.

"It's alright, don't worry about it. We're cool." Peter shrugged it off with ease. "Are you ready to leave? I can take you back with me." He offered.

Danny hesitated, his gaze drifting back to the city he had once sworn to protect. "I...I don't know if I can let them down again."

Peter nodded understandingly. "It's a tough decision, Danny. But remember, you're not alone. I'm here for you. Just remember to come visit if you end up leaving, okay?"

Danny smiled faintly, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you. I think I need some time to figure things out. But I'll catch up with you soon."

With a nod, Peter bid Danny farewell and waved his hand, opening a golden portal before stepping inside, leaving a conflicted Iron Fist behind.

———————————

The wind whispered through the rocky peaks of K'un-Lun as Danny Rand stood alone near the entrance of the main gate.

As he turned on the faucet, the water cascaded down, providing a soothing rhythm.

Lost in his thoughts, Peter stepped into the shower and absentmindedly grabbed a bar of soap, lathering it all over his body.

But just as he lifted his gaze, preparing to rinse off, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Above him, on the ceiling, a glitching gooey portal appeared, shimmering with hues of pink, purple, white, and black.

The bathroom was suddenly bathed in an otherworldly light as the portal expanded, captivating Peter's attention.

Drops of water splashed onto the tiled floor, forgotten, as he stood there, frozen in place. His mind raced with questions and uncertainties, his heart pounding in his chest.

"What... What is this?" Peter muttered, his voice shocked, his senses on high alert.

Before he could react, the portal seemed to reach out, its ethereal fingers stretching toward him.

In a swift, unexpected motion, the portal engulfed Peter, swallowing him whole.

The bar of soap slipped from his fingers, clattering against the bathroom tiles as the portal closed behind him, leaving no trace of its existence.

On the other side of the mysterious portal, Peter found himself standing at the edge of a rooftop. His eyes widened in shock as he realized where he was.

The vibrant lights of Times Square danced around him, illuminating the night sky. And there he stood, completely naked, the cool breeze touching his bare skin.

Peter's gaze darted around, his mind scrambling to comprehend what had just happened.

He instinctively covered himself, feeling the chilly wind of New York City on his nether region. "What... How did I... Where am I?"

Passersby's on the streets below looked up, their gazes filled with surprise and amusement at his nudist display. Peter's cheeks flushed crimson as he stepped away from the edge, hiding from the world below.

With a deep sigh, he called forth his spider suit, which immediately covered his body completely.

Quickly scanning the area, Peter's eyes widened in disbelief as he spotted a large electronic billboard nearby.

He gazed at it with a mix of shock and curiosity, his heart pounding in his chest.

The display showcased two images side by side. A Spider-Man, which wasn't him, and a handsome blonde man.

Above the pictures, the title blazed with undeniable impact, shattering Peter's understanding of reality. "What the f*ck..." He muttered in shock.
