Raisins are the devil, Billy. I need to set strong boundaries if they're involved.
Oh no, poor me. You're threatening me with a good time.
Yep.
I'm heartbroken; you've never taken me to the beach! But you also never took me to the vet, which is probably a win over what you had to do to Greg. I demand a picture of the beast, plz. [ He likes animals; show himmm. ]
That's not how it work!
And no, no cheating allowed. You could try guessing instead, and I'd give you clues. To narrow it down, I can let you know I was born in spring. Shit, really? [ That is awful. ] Ok, how about we celebrate it the very next day? Close enough to your b-day date, and it could symbolize a new beginning instead. Or we can't do nothing, whatever you feel is better.
What can I say? I have lots and lots of practice overthinking. Maybe that's my real superpower. Just playing to my strengths, you know.
None taken.
I won't forget it. Teleportation is such a useful power. I need to rely on portals to move from K'un Lun to anywhere else on the planet. Now that's a kick ass name for a sword. What does it do?
[ With a tale like that, who would not be dramatic? ]
That's quite the story. [ He's going to need a moment to process it, no offense. ] You must have been really strong back then to do that, and even more so now.
[ And he doesn't mean strong as in powerful, although she is, too. To rip part of one soul takes guts. Or desperation. ]
I used to have a cool magic sword before a demon kumiho shattered it, and the pieces got embedded in my arms, but it wasn't as cool as yours. It was an ancestral sword that sealed the tomb of a demon war god, though.
[ They can be magic sword buddies. ]
It does sounds like ti would hurt. I don't look forward confirming it.
[ He's going to ask for an iced tea for himself, and once the waiter leaves, his attention focuses solely on that new tidbit of information. From all things, Lin Lie did not expect Deadpool to have kids, but he also did not expect him to have had a wife in the past either. He knows better than to judge.
Plus, the way Wade talks about these people is cute. ]
Keeping it a family business, I see. How old are your daughters? I can't say I've ever heard of Taskmarker or...Doug. You all work as mercenaries or bodyguards, then?
[ He's really hoping Deadpool hadn't set up an assassin-for-hire company. As for the rats.., ]
Did you know that in Chinese traditions, rats represents wisdom, wealth and prosperity. You could make sure they're clean and healthy, and turn them into your company's mascot.
[Lin Lie is in luck because Wade carries photos in his wallet. He's digs it out a little too eagerly and flips it open to a photo of a young girl.]
There's my girl. She's fourteen. And, uh... [The next photo is... a red dog? There are the telltale signs of it being a symbiote if one knows what to look for...] I dunno. Probably somethin' in dog years...
[He tucks that back away when he's done.]
You got it- We're mercenaries. Why, you want our card? Taskmaster don't get around as much, so not surprising you've never met. You'd know if you did. As for the rats - I'll uh, let Doug know. He'll like that one.
[ Like any proud father should. He leans in to take a good look, blinking quickly when he notices the weird red dog. He's fought symbiote dragons before, so yes, Lin Lie can recognize that kind of alien; the teeth are a giveaway. He's never seen one red before, though. ]
I mean this in the least insulting way possible, but your second daughter looks like a symbiote hyena. [ WHY IS THAT??? goes unsaid, but Lin Lie's face says it all. ] They both look really happy, so good job on the parenting.
[ See, he can say nice things too. ]
Sure, why not. I'll keep the card. I doubt I'd need any mercenary services now, but it will help me believe this is a real thing you're all doing. Does Taskmaster wear a very distinctive suit or something?
[ Lucky about not finding out, less so about dying often. Let's try not to do that. ]
Perhaps. But sometimes the one-tenth makes a difference.
Of course you'd prefer that. [ Lin Lie should know better than to make deals with Loki, but against better judgment, he would agree. ] What kind of deal do you have in mind for something like this? What would be your terms?
Okay, that sounds good. I already have a list of places I want to take you to, both for sightseeing and to eat some of our delicious food.
Yes, of course! It would be my turn to show off my boyfriend.
I know; it was only to double-assure you.
Alright, there will be no ghost fighting or anything of the sort. Do all powerful witches become ghosts after they die, or is this just a thing Agatha's family does?
Yeah, yeah, your abs and shoulders say otherwise. You can be athletic in body without actually enjoying sports, you know.
First time in my life anybody calls me that. I'd let you know I am a gentlemen. But also, no reason why one can't be a gentleman and still have banger sex with their partner. Right?
If I ever say no to that, you can assume I've been replaced by a doppelganger.
Aw, hush. Actually all my contact names are written in mandarin in my phone, since that's also the language it is set in. You're saved under “亲爱的” （qin ai de). It means 'beloved'.
Oh I like that nickname for me. Hmmmm...okay! :D
I think that if Mr. Murdock lets his hair grow out, you'll see my vision.
True. I have that song as your ringtone, btw.
I'm picking up all sorts of cat pictures because they're silly and cute, mostly.
Nooooo Let's not think of that, it ain't happening anytime soon.
Challenge accepted. Worry not, I'll change it to TWUNK instead. Fitting right?
Omg, no, that's too embarrassing! Your friends can't understand Mandarin, so they won't get the silly nicknames even if they see my phone, but they'll reads yours easily (⸝⸝⸝>﹏<⸝⸝⸝)
Oh, he's a great man, very good lawyer. [ And an even better superhero, but that's a secret he can't share. ]
It is ALWAYS the season of the witch in my heart, so it applies.
[ Lin Lie was practically bouncing on the soles of his feet in excitement as the portal to K'un Lun closed behind them, the mythologicalcity now standing before Billy and him. He has wanted to bring Billy here for so long, and it has taken a literal wedding (soon to be two!) until it was allowed.
Mei Lin is standing right by where the portal just opened, smiling at the newlyweds and happy to see his friend again. Lin Lie talked to her about Billy and vice versa with her husband, so the introduction ended up being pretty casual. She congratulated them on their marriage back on Earth, giving Lie a hug and Billy a respectful bow, and reassured them that they already have a house ready for after the second ceremony in K'un Lu, but that they need to go to the seamstress and make sure their outfits fit properly.
She also reminds Lie that Shou Lao and the Thunderer are waiting for them, as if he could have forgotten such a thing. He just beams at the woman, clearly not that worried about the meeting as Billy might be. It's just a giant, immortal dragon and one of the most important gods of the seven Capital Cities of Heaven; what could go wrong?
Mei Lin leaves to go back to her duties not long after, mentioning how she's sure that Lin Lie wants to show off his new hubby around the city (he does) and also help him get familiar with the layout. After waving their goodbye, Lin Lie turns to Billy, reaching out to grab his hand and give it a squeeze. ]
Well, what do you think? Does it meet your expectations?
[ Funny that Billy had stopped being nervous until they'd stepped through the portal. The past day had been a wonderful rush that he still couldn't believe had happened, even though it had, and he'd found himself falling madly in love with his boy — husband! — all over again. Every step of the way and he could feel the magic of the bond cementing them together along the way, it was nice. Everything, really. ]
[ Yet, there's an undoubted surrealness to the moment when it comes to entering the portal for the first time. They'd talked about it often enough, joked about seeing pandas and the like, that it felt less and real that it could happen until he looks upon the ancient city. The excitement draws to nerves and he's sure, though perhaps the magical part of the bond will always be strongest for Billy, that Lin Lie knows. That Billy's easy smile to Mei Lin is the up of a mask while nerves settle on his skin. She's nice, he knew she would be, but he feels dauntingly out of place when goodbyes are given. ]
[ Lin Lie reaches for his hand and Billy reaches back, entangling their fingers together immediately. He'd been wanting to take his hand for the last several minutes but realized he hadn't known that particular protocol, Lin Lie reaching first means he steps closer to him with attention bright. At least, he's not at all nervous looking at him - or being near him, the sinking feeling of powerful love bridged between them. His smile is surer. ]
It's beautiful. A beat. I'm sure I'll find it even more amazing when I'm not thinking that the sanctity of our marriage is about to be challenged and I'll be separated from the love of my life.
[He decides to out his own nerves, then, but it's said lightly - The attempt of a joke as his heart hammers away. It's the truth of the matter. Why hadn't they done this portion first? Because once they were married it'd be a while before they went back to Earth, he knew, but still it'd feel better if he knew rather he'd be accepted or not. He squeezes Lin Lie's hand and takes the risk, leaning forward to kiss him on the mouth short and sweet. ]
You should show me the place you've wanted to show me most first, while we have time.
[ Mei Lin's niceness is genuine, something he can't assure will be from the rest of the people Billy will meet here, which is why Lin Lie wanted to introduce him to one of his best friends first. She's also fiercely protective and plans to become the next Thunderer, so she also has no qualms about fighting rude people to defend her friends if the occasion calls for it. Lie knows he's lucky to have her in his corner, and now so does Billy.
One doesn't need to have a Bruce Banner level of intellect to tell that Billy is nervous; there's their bond and Lin Lie has known him for a few years and knows plenty of the tells. Just like Billy can read him like an open book—in fact, Billy is much better at this than him. Lin Lie's expression softens, and he brings their entwined hands up close to his mouth so he can place a kiss on Billy's knuckles. The sun catches on the metal gold band on each one of their ring fingers, and he can't help but feel a pang of pure joy in his chest every time he sees them.
He would like to tell Billy that it would be easier here, that everyone would simply accept him, but he knows that's not quite the truth, and he doesn't want to start lying to his husband. But he also knows that those who really matter will accept their union, and hopefully so will Shou Lao. The dragon can be a tad temperamental, but he has already realized that his champion was not going to change his mind about his future partner and called Billy here so he could take a good look at the man himself. That means something. (Hopefully something good). ]
No one's going to get between you and me, and no one will kick you out. I would not allow it. [ He gives Billy a determined look, meeting his eyes. He knows he had his duties as the Iron Fist, and he wants to respect the title and protect the people in K'un Lun, but Lin Lie is also stubborn. He's not about to let adversities and unpleasant people tell them how they should live their lives.
He smiles after the kiss, making a happy sound and tugging Billy closer to him. Relationships of all kinds are now new around K'un Lun, so any issues they might have would be unlikely to be because they're two men. K'un Lun might be isolated from the rest of the universe most of the time, but that only meant that its citizens learned to create strong bonds between each other, no matter which form those took. ]
There's a lot to see, but Shou Lao's temple really is one of the most impressive buildings here. And...the pandas happen to have their enclosures by the temple's gardens as well.
[ Lucky coincidence, uh? Lin Lie is going to start heading toward what is possibly the tallest building in the city, seen in the distance, and tugging Billy along. The streets are very lively during these morning hours, colorful and full of life, so he hopes his husband enjoys it. ]

Mei Lin is standing right by where the portal just opened, smiling at the newlyweds and happy to see his friend again. Lin Lie talked to her about Billy and vice versa with her husband, so the introduction ended up being pretty casual. She congratulated them on their marriage back on Earth, giving Lie a hug and Billy a respectful bow, and reassured them that they already have a house ready for after the second ceremony in K'un Lu, but that they need to go to the seamstress and make sure their outfits fit properly.
She also reminds Lie that Shou Lao and the Thunderer are waiting for them, as if he could have forgotten such a thing. He just beams at the woman, clearly not that worried about the meeting as Billy might be. It's just a giant, immortal dragon and one of the most important gods of the seven Capital Cities of Heaven; what could go wrong?

He would like to tell Billy that it would be easier here, that everyone would simply accept him, but he knows that's not quite the truth, and he doesn't want to start lying to his husband. But he also knows that those who really matter will accept their union, and hopefully so will Shou Lao. The dragon can be a tad temperamental, but he has already realized that his champion was not going to change his mind about his future partner and called Billy here so he could take a good look at the man himself. That means something. (Hopefully something good). ]
No one's going to get between you and me, and no one will kick you out. I would not allow it. [ He gives Billy a determined look, meeting his eyes. He knows he had his duties as the Iron Fist, and he wants to respect the title and protect the people in K'un Lun, but Lin Lie is also stubborn. He's not about to let adversities and unpleasant people tell them how they should live their lives.
He smiles after the kiss, making a happy sound and tugging Billy closer to him. Relationships of all kinds are now new around K'un Lun, so any issues they might have would be unlikely to be because they're two men. K'un Lun might be isolated from the rest of the universe most of the time, but that only meant that its citizens learned to create strong bonds between each other, no matter which form those took. ]
There's a lot to see, but Shou Lao's temple really is one of the most impressive buildings here. And...the pandas happen to have their enclosures by the temple's gardens as well.
[ Lucky coincidence, uh? Lin Lie is going to start heading toward what is possibly the tallest building in the city, seen in the distance, and tugging Billy along. The streets are very lively during these morning hours, colorful and full of life, so he hopes his husband enjoys it. ]
