A/N Hey there everyone! I don't see many stories on this site that are just about Fury. This was an idea that popped up randomly while I was thinking of Ultimate Deadpool. Enjoy!
Fury was contemplating his choice in bringing Spider Man into his young heroes team. Coulson had called him a "wild card" and Coulson was right. Spider Man had a good many similarities to Deadpool For one thing, they had similar backgrounds. Good families, good homes, considered wimps and nerds at school, loss of a beloved family member, guilt over the death. The list went on. The one difference, Fury. He had given Deadpool a hasty lecture that fatal day when he decided to go mercenary instead of hero. How Deadpool saw being a mercenary as being a freelance hero Fury would never know.
The difference with Spider Man was that he'd make sure Peter understood. That was why he'd allowed Spider Man to go that day with Deadpool. He knew both those kids had good hearts to start with. But Deadpool's had become a frozen and barren wasteland after he'd left S.H.I.E.L.D.
Deadpool had a hard life before and after getting his abilities. When Fury saw the kid on the street, discovered (in a difficult way, to say the least) about Deadpool's powers, he decided that he'd adopt Deadpool. He even had the papers, until young Wade stole them. Why he did that, Fury didn't know. He apparently didn't know a lot about his adopted son. He's continued to accumulate young wanna be heroes, and he'd trained those kids, but in his heart Deadpool had always been his favorite. Deadpool had a twisted, troubled mind. Fury would never know what that kid had been feeling that made him leave. But he did know that Deadpool killed a great many lives.
Fury was familiar with the loss of life. It was something that always happened even though he tried too hard to avoid it. People died every day in crime, car accidents, natural disasters and more. He could take that. Those were deaths that couldn't be avoided. Deaths that he wasn't responsible in a personal way for. But those that Deadpool killed, those were the ones he'd always feel responsible for. Deadpool had been angry when he left and took up his first paying job. He was at first exactly what he claimed to be, a freelance hero. But over time, his loyalty to morals left him and in it's place came a greed for money powerful enough to kill for. In Deadpool's twisted mind, money was more important than love, friends or family, because money couldn't hurt him. His pursuit of money couldn't hurt him because of his awesome healing factor. Fury hurt for Deadpool every time he thought of him, wishing he could've done right by the boy. And he felt guilty for the lives that Deadpool was taking, because Deadpool was taking them to fill a place in his heart that could not be filled without guidance and love from a father and good friends.
Fury would never fail like that again. He took on Spider Man because he saw a greatness in him that Deadpool had lacked. Where Deadpool had always happily beaten an adversary to the ground, Spider Man would hesitate. He'd try to give the bad guy a chance to stand down first. In a way, Fury admitted to himself, he'd taken on Spider Man to help him, but also to help himself, to make up for what he did, for how he failed Wade Wilson and the countless people he'd killed. He wouldn't make the same mistakes. Spider Man would be the best hero the world had ever seen, he was sure of it. Fury sighed to himself and got up to watch his kids train.
A/N Hope everyone likes it! Had to make up Deadpool's history since I had no idea what really happened. I went off of the Ultimate Deadpool episode. Reviews welcome and appreciated!
