It was the middle of the afternoon in Station Square. People were going about their daily lives, working, chatting with family and friends, everything that an average person person would do.
At the Station Square Police Department, the police were checking on any prisoners and keeping watch.
In another part of the building one cop walked to the interrogation room.
He had brown hair and wore his police uniform. His name is Ray Terrence. The dirtiest cop in the police force.
Nobody ever knew, but he had been brutalizing innocent citizens whenever he was alone; harrassing them, threatening them, and having them hospitalized, claiming it as a mugging.
Fortunately, karma was about to catch up to him.
When he reached the interrogation room, he saw two guards in front of the door.
"You called?" Terrence asked.
"You have a visitor in the interrogation room." the guard said. "Said he wanted to talk to you about something."
"What is it?" Terrence said.
"He said it's private." the other guard spoke.
"Well, let me in." Terrence said.
The two guards nodded and opened the door to the interrogation room. As soon as he entered, he noticed that the room was dark, but he could slightly see the silhouette of a figure across the table.
Then he smiled.
"This'll be quick." he said boastfully as he silently gripped his taser.
"Good luck with him." one of the guards said before closing the door, leaving Terrence alone with the "visitor".
"You better have a good reason for being here, you little wimp." Terrence said threateningly to the visitor, who didn't respond. "And you better make it quick as well."
"Don't worry, it'll be a flash." the visitor spoke in a familiar voice.
Suddenly, the light turned on, revealing the visitor in front of him. Terrence's expression shifted from arrogant to horror as he saw the visitor's face…
"Good afternoon, deputy." Deadpool calmly greeted him. He was seated in a chair and stroking the blade of his knife with his index finger.
A drop of blood escaped Terrence's nose, and the deputy made a run for the door. He put his hand on the knob and turned it, but it was no use.
"Let me out!" Terrence shouted as he banged on the door. "Is this some kind of joke?! Don't leave me with this psycho!"
CLICK
He stopped, and slowly turned around to see Deadpool holding a pistol and aiming it at him.
"Have a seat." Deadpool said.
Terrence shook uncontrollably, and so he complied and sat on the other chair across from Deadpool.
"Do you know how long we've dealt with police brutality over the past years and now?" Deadpool asked while poking the tip of his knife with his index finger. "You now, the Mike Brown and Eric Garner type of brutality? This is worse."
"What are you talking about?" Terrence stuttered.
"Well, let me tell you a story, deputy." Deadpool said. "I occasionally do some pro bono work. Y'know, not everyone can turn to a freelance mercenary/vigilante such as myself for help and, well, I like to give it a little something-something, back now and then. It's good for the soul. Especially when the crime's as heinous as this one."
"Are you saying we're not doing our job?" Terrence asked.
"Oh, no." Deadpool said. "There are some cops that are willing to follow the law… except for one. This one was similar to any of the scum I've faced."
"W-What are you trying to say?" Terrence asked as sweat started rolling on the sides of his head.
"Glad you asked." Deadpool said. "Instead of helping folks like any other cop, he treated them like the common crook. And you what's sad?" he slammed his knife on the table, "They didn't defend themselves."
Terrence was starting to get scared out of his skin as Deadpool's tone began to deepen into a sinister one.
"And what got my attention was this one victim… a woman." Deadpool continued. "She was a natural beauty. Unfortunately, she had work caught up in her mind. And what's really sad…" he raised his pistol and pointed it at Terrence, "…she had two kids waiting for her to come home. She almost had her life in front of her."
Terrence now looked really frightened as he started breathing rapidly.
"You see, like the others, this young lady put her faith in guys like you." Deadpool continued. "And why wouldn't she? He was supposed to help her, but all he did was take advantage of her. Physically. But when she tried to tell people what was happening… well, no one believed her. They thought she was crazy. So she nearly took her own life."
Terrence was now terrified. He knew there was no escaping.
"But I was there." Deadpool continued. "Like any other cop unlike you, I really was there. She explained everything to me."
"Can I go to the bathroom?" Terrence asked as he got up from his seat, only for Deadpool to fire his pistol at him, but the bullet went past him.
"Sit… the hell… down." Deadpool growled in the darkest voice he's ever given.
Terrence's horrified expression was further pushed by the merc's hostility, but complied and sat back down.
"As I was saying." Deadpool continued. "She tried going to the police for a complaint, but she found the same guy there, waiting for her. He locked her up and 'visited' her in her cell. She came out a broken woman, and even apologized to this bastard on the way out. But in the end I was there for her." he then got off his seat and began to close in menacingly on Wells, who sunk into his chair, scared. "Y'see, deputy, I may kill people, but you're failing to see the other half of what I do: help people."
"Please don't kill me!" Terrence pleaded. "I-I was just playing around!"
Deadpool stopped and looked at him dead in the eyes.
"Really?" he asked. "Just like how I'm about to play around with you."
Suddenly, he hit Terrence directly across the face with his pistol, causing him to fall off his seat. Terrence tried to get back up, only for Deadpool to kick him in the side and then in the gut.
Deadpool grabbed Terrence's taser and charged it up.
"Here's my dose of police brutality!" Deadpool quipped before ramming the tazer into Terrence's side and shocking him with it.
After ten seconds of tasing him, Deadpool picked up the corrupt deputy and started slamming his face on the glass window several times before stopping and pressing his face against it.
Terrence saw the chief, as well as the two guards he met earlier, standing in the other room through the window with glares on their faces.
"You're fired." the chief bluntly said through the window, right before Deadpool pulled Terrence back and threw him against the wall.
As the beating continued, one guard spoke up, "Should we help him?"
"Nah." the chief said. "He brought this one on himself."
"How long should we wait?" the other guard asked.
"Give him maybe two minutes." the chief suggested, right as Wells was thrown against the window.
"Eh, maybe five." the chief corrected himself. "We should probably call an ambulance after."
Meanwhile, at the White House…
"This is great news, Mr. President, and it couldn't have come at a better time!" Jerome Wise said to the President as he held up a newspaper about the defeat of Dr. Eggman and the destruction of his fortress. "Now, you're sure to be re-elected!"
"I don't know about that." the President said.
"Huh?" Jerome asked, confused at what he was talking about.
"I'm not the real hero of the story." the President said as he pointed at the newspaper Jerome was holding. "Look closer."
"Huh?" Jerome asked as he looked at the newspaper to see Sonic being featured. He then looked over at another newspaper and saw Deadpool at another featured news article. He then looked at another one to see an image of Sonic making a face, while Deadpool made a D-X crotch chop with guns in hand.
"SONIC! DEADPOOL?!" Jerome gawked as he tossed the newspapers aside before grabbing a remote control to turn a TV on. The screen displayed multiple clips of Sonic and Deadpool. Of course, this was enough to make Jerome break down.
"If we don't act fast, sir, they'll elect Sonic President and Wilson as Vice President!" he panicked.
"Huh? I'll have to find myself a real job…" the President said.
"Grr…!" Jerome growled as he walked towards the President's desk. "We've got to do something right away!"
"Now, now, let's not overreact about this." the President tried to assure him as Jerome paced back and forth in the office. "Just stay calm."
"Ergh, think think!" Jerome tried to think of an idea. "There must be something we can do…" his head shot up, an idea finally forming. "Ah, that's it! I know…"
"Hm?" the President asked.
"It's a brilliant idea!" Jerome said. "We'll host a black-tie charity ball in celebration of our recent victory!"
"Yes, but what does a victory celebration do to solve our Sonic and Deadpool problem?" the President asked, not quite understanding this idea.
"We're going to make Sonic and Wilson the guests of honor!" Jerome proposed. "We'll invite the media, get in a couple of photo-ops, that kind of thing!"
In his head, photographers were taking multiple pictures of Sonic and Deadpool, who were shaking hands with the President. The same event would then be broadcasted live on TV. When he came back to reality, he turned to the President.
"It'll be all over in the papers, all over in the cable-news talk shows: 'The President, Sonic and Deadpool, the terrific trio battling together against the forces of oppression'!" he continued. "Once the voters see that you, Sonic and Wilson are buddies, your approval rating will go through the roof! There's no way you can lose, your re-election will be a sure thing! I'll have the staff get started. We'll make sure all the television reporters get personal invitations to the Freedom fray Tent!"
With that, Jerome left the office. The President sighed about Jerome's plans.
Meanwhile, at the Thorndyke Mansion…
Things have gone pretty well for our heroes after the assault on Eggman's base for the past few weeks. Ajax's body was taken to the morgue, and Angel Dust and the surviving goons were taken to Prison Island. However, Angel Dust wasn't put in an ordinary cell. With the help of Professor Xavier, Colossus and Negasonic had helped the prison install power nullifying cells for any mutant criminals should they be captured. Victor Creed, however, was still at large, and the gang was paranoid about what he would be up to, or what he would be doing, but they decided to give it a rest. Deadpool continued his crime fighting as usual, while serving as the Thorndykes' "bodyguard".
Pretty soon, the existence of mutants was shown to the world, with Deadpool's battle with Ajax as evidence. While the people of Station Square viewed Deadpool and the X-Men as heroes, some people from different places around the world were unsure whether to trust mutants or not.
The whole gang had finished eating their dinner and were helping each other wash their plates.
Just then, the front door opened, revealing it to be Deadpool, who was smiling under his mask.
"Honey, I'm home!" he greeted cheerily with a laugh as the gang went to him.
"How was your day at work?" Vanessa asked as she hugged him, knowing full well what his "work" was.
"Exhausting." Wade said as he removed his mask, revealing his mouthless face. "My hands hurt a little, and my arms and legs are sore. But, hey, adamantium skeleton."
"Where were you?" Negasonic asked.
"Oh, I paid a visit to the police station." Wade answered.
"What for?" Chuck asked.
They suddenly turned their attention to the television, where the news was currently on.
"I'm coming to you live from outside the Station Square Police Department, where the police force has kicked out yet another misbehaved officer." Scarlet Garcia stated in her report, while an ambulance stood behind her. "Deputy, well, former deputy Ray Terrence, has sustained heavy injuries from vigilante Deadpool earlier this evening. However, Terrence has been charged by the chief for corruption and using brutal force on innocents."
The camera cut to Terrence, who was being carried away on a stretcher. When the camera zoomed in, his face was shown to be bruised and bloodied and had small cuts, but he was still moving as he groaned in immense pain.
"Oh, God." Ella said in surprise.
"Was that necessary?" Colossus asked Wade in an annoyed tone. Wade narrowed his eyes at him so it looked like he was smirking since he had no mouth.
"Yeah." he said bluntly, causing Colossus to sigh in annoyance. "But don't get me started. That bastard had it coming!"
"The injuries Terrence had sustained were broken ribs, arms, legs, and a few missing teeth." Scarlet continued her report. "He will be taken to the hospital where he will recover, but will still be charged nonetheless." she walked over to the injured Terrence. "Have you anything to say, Terrence?" she asked before moving her microphone to him.
"You'll pay for this, Wilson." Terrence growled at the camera before coughing up a bit of blood from his mouth. "Just you wait."
"Ah, screw you too." Wade scoffed.
"We now take you to the chief of police, who has something to say about this incident." Scarlet continued as the camera cut to the chief.
"First of all, I'd like to thank you, Deadpool, for putting another dirty cop out of a job." the chief said. "That's the seventh time this week that we've kicked out one of those naughty punks." he then pulled out a chocolate donut and took a bite out of it. "Thanks for dropping off the donuts, by the way, and good luck cleaning up the rest of the city."
"Aw, you shouldn't have, chief." Wade said before he turned off the TV.
"Question: how many dirty cops have you beaten up?" Negasonic asked.
"About twenty." Wade answered.
"Wow." Chuck said, bewildered. "And where are they now?"
"From what I've heard, they're probably in their filthy apartments, drinking away their humiliation, still in hospital beds, or some of them even committed suicide!" Wade said.
"Wade!" Vanessa scolded him lightly.
"What?" Wade said defensively. "It's probably the best way for them to get away from a humiliation like this."
Suddenly, a blue blur ran past them and out the front door, meaning it was Sonic. Chris ran after him with a letter in his hand and stopped by the door.
"Hey, Sonic, a letter came for you!" he called out to Sonic, who sped over the gate and rushed off to wherever his feet took him.
Chris examined the letter closely and gasped when he read who it was from.
"It's from the President!" he exclaimed.
In the living room, the whole gang gathered to hear Chuck read the letter.
"'You are cogently invited to a black-tie charity ball.'" he read aloud. "Hm… sounds interesting."
"It's addressed to Sonic but it says right there that he can bring as many friends as he wants!" Chris said.
"Well, then in that case, I'll say it's time we dust off our best party duds and make it a day!" Chuck said with a smile, and everyone in the room cheered.
"I bet they'll serve lots of yummy food there… I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!" Amy said as she thought about the food, drooling from her tongue as she did.
"Me too!" Tails agreed.
"And they better have some tacos and chimichangas there." Wade added. "Otherwise I'm gonna spend the day at the bar with Ness, Weasel and the boys. I heard they're gonna do the five-finger fillet. I'm the only lucky one in that game." He emphasized his point by flexing his fingers.
"Um… alright." Colossus said as he and the gang had looks of disgust.
Just then, the door opened, revealing it to be Sonic.
"I'm back!" he said nonchalantly.
"Hey, Sonic!" Chris said. "Guess what? You won't believe it, the President's giving a party and you're invited!"
"I am?" Sonic asked, and Chris nodded.
"And all of us get to go, too! It'll be fun!" he said.
"When is this party?" Sonic asked.
"On Thursday." Chris answered.
"Can't make it." Sonic said.
"Why can't you?" Chris asked.
"I promised Helen we'd hang out." Sonic explained.
"Helen? You mean the girl in my class?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, that's the one." Sonic confirmed. "She's a friend of mine."
"I didn't know that." Chris said in surprise.
"I met her over at a lake…" Sonic began.
(Flashback)
Sonic was seen running past a long lake, when he saw a young girl in a wheelchair, which was stuck in a mud pit.
The girl was about Chris' age. She had long yellow hair and blue eyes. She wore a pink shirt with white short sleeves and a green ribbon necktie, a pink skirt, and white shoes.
Sonic saw the trouble the girl was in and rushed over to her, using his speed to push her wheelchair out of the mud pit. He stopped and settled down.
"Hi there!" he greeted the girl with a smile.
"Thank you." the girl said when she noticed him. "Oh, you're Sonic, aren't you?"
"You've heard of me?" Sonic asked.
"Of course!" Helen said with a smile."
"That's pretty cool!" Sonic said with a grin. "What's your name?"
"Helen." she said.
"Pleasure to meet you!" Sonic said with a wink and a sincere smile.
Later…
Sonic and Helen stood near a cliff, viewing the lake along with a huge island.
"I come out here a lot." Helen said. "I loved to look at that island."
"That one over there?" Sonic said as he pointed to the large island.
"Mmm-hmm." Helen said. "My father says it's filled with the most beautiful flowers. All different kinds. He always promises to take me there but…" her tone saddened, and so did her expression. "…he's always too busy."
Sonic felt pretty bad for her, but smiled nonetheless.
"Don't worry." he assured her. "I'm sure he'll take you there one of these days."
"I don't know, my dad doesn't seem to have ever enough time for me." Helen said. "I'd go myself but…"
"You really want to see that island, Helen?" Sonic asked.
"Of course I do!" Helen said.
"Then I'm gonna take you!" Sonic said with a smiler before he and Helen crossed their fingers.
(End of Flashback)
"I've promised." Sonic said, but then he remembered something. "Oh, I've got a lot of work to do!" he ran over to Chuck. "Hey Chuck, I need some life-jackets and a boat."
"Check over at the storage room." Chuck told him, and the blue hedgehog ran out of the house.
"What're we all standing around here for?" Wade asked. "Let's get the party started!"
At the White House…
Fireworks went off in the sky as hundreds of photographers and reporters gathered outside the White House.
Inside there was a buffet containing tables of food, where several guests were gathered.
"Okay!" Jerome said in delight. "Now, if everything goes according to plan, Sonic and Wilson should be arriving any minute. Then we'll have them meet the big guy and watch him go crazy!"
"They're here!" the public shouted as a limousine and motorcycle, which obviously belonged to Deadpool, arrived outside the White House.
"Ah, it's time!" Jerome said as both vehicles stopped before he rushed out of the White House.
Wade, who wore his red tux, black tie, red pants and black shoes, hopped off of his motorcycle with Vanessa, who wore her purple open back dress and black high heels.
The passenger door of the limousine opened, as the photographers flashed their cameras. Amy stepped out, wearing a red dress that showed off her legs and white gloves and red high heels. Next came Tails, who wore a black shirt with a red bow tie. Then came Cream, who wore a pink dress. Finally, Negasonic and Colossus (the latter of whom was surprisingly able to fit in the limo) came out. Negasonic wore a yellow t-shirt with black pants and black shoes, while Colossus wore the traditional black tux with matching pants and necktie. Chris, who wore a blue suit with a green bow tie, and Chuck, who wore a matching black one with a yellow bow tie, came out of the limo and gathered with the rest of the gang as camera flashes are directed towards them.
As the photographers continued to take pictures of the gang, they were shoved aside by Jerome.
"Here's our guests of honor!" he walked up to Wade and shook his hand. "Wade Wilson and… Hm?" he stopped when he noticed someone missing. "Hey, where's Sonic?"
"Not coming." Chuck answered.
"WHAT?!" Jerome gawked.
"To the party!" Chuck shouted before he, Chris, Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese ran towards the White House, while the mutant quartet just walked.
"Yeah well, if Sonic's not showing up to this clan, I'm getting out of here!" one of the photographers said in disappointment before he started to leave; the others followed.
"The station better pay for my parking!" a reporter complained.
The photographers and reporters were suddenly stopped by a now panicking Jerome, who jumped in front of them.
"Please don't go yet!" he begged. "Sonic will be here any minute! I promise! Why don't you hang out in the buffet table awhile? Please?"
"Yeah, at least you got me." Wade said as he stepped behind the photographers and reporters, who suddenly turned and rushed to him and took pictures of him and asked him questions. Jerome sighed in relief before he turned to three agents.
"Hey, don't just stand there!" he shouted at them. "Go and find Sonic and bring him here pronto!"
"Yes sir!" the agents said in unison.
Back at the Thorndyke Mansion…
Ella was cleaning the foyer while humming, when she heard the door bang open. She stopped cleaning to see the agents standing there.
"This is official government business!" one of the agents yelled. "We need Sonic immediately!"
"Who do you think you are, barging into this house?" Ella demanded. "You mister 'bigshot' too important to knock, heh? Well, too bad, Sonic's not here!"
"You better not be hiding him, ma'am." the agent said, not believing her.
"Don't tell me what not to do, bigshot!" Ella snapped. "Now get out, I've got my cleaning!"
The agent finally had enough.
"That's it!" he yelled. "Alright, we're searching the whole place!"
"TANAKA!" Ella yelled.
Tanaka suddenly bursted through the door with and stepped beside Ella.
"Don't get in our way, buddy!" the agent threatened.
"Stand back, Ella." Tanaka warned her as he got into a battle stance. "This time, it is my turn to clean up the house!"
With a yell, he charged at the agents, landing a few blows to them before tossing them out the door. The agents realize they couldn't take him, so they retreated as fast as they could.
"This would be so much quicker if Master Wade were here." Tanaka remarked as he dusted himself off.
"But much more messier." Ella added.
Back at the White House…
Jerome was speaking through the phone with the President standing beside him.
"What do you mean 'he's not home'?" Jerome demanded through the phone.
"Next time I take your advice, don't let me." the President reprimanded him.
Jerome growled. He won't let his party go on without Sonic.
"I'm gonna get Sonic here if it's the last thing I do!" he declared before going back to the phone. "Connect me to defense! Mr. Secretary sir, we have an emergency! We need to fully mobilize all troops! GET ME SONIC! HE'S RUINING MY PARTY!"
Military jets took off into the skies, while the naval forces took the waters. In space, the satellite cameras focused into the country.
At the military intel, the military observed the screen carefully.
"Request has been entered, sir. All systems go. Beginning search." the pilot announced through the radio.
"This won't be easy; our target moves at 700 miles per hour." the commander said. "Stay alert!"
The screen flicked through multiple cameras. One of them suddenly caught a blue blur running across a road.
"Target spotted, sir." the pilot announced through the radio.
"Yeah, where?" the commander asked.
"S-13 district." the pilot said. "Target's moving north at 400 miles per hour."
"Just don't lose sight of him!" the commander ordered.
"We lost sight of him." the pilot said sheepishly.
The commander growled and stomped his foot to the ground.
"Well, you better find him in a hurry!" he shouted.
Back at the White House…
Unbeknownst to Jerome, Wade was standing outside the room, having heard everything. He narrowed his eyes as if to glare before heading down with the rest of the gang.
Meanwhile, down at the buffet, the gang enjoyed their food, Colossus and Negasonic were being interviewed by reporters, while a few people gathered around Vanessa.
"Come on, do it again!" one of them begged.
"Look, I'm not sure." Vanessa said.
"Please?" another one of them asked.
"Alright, just one more time." Vanessa gave in before her body, clothes and all, turned into Wade's form, with his tuxedo. The people cheered as Vanessa changed back to her own form.
As she waved, she noticed Wade exiting through the door.
"I'll be right back." she said before following Wade out the door.
As soon as she caught up with him, she noticed him in his suit and sitting in his motorcycle.
"Asshole military think they can ruin Sonic's play date." he grumbled as he loaded started the engine. "Well, they ain't gonna!"
"Wade, what's going on?" Vanessa asked.
"Jerome's sending some military guys to bring Sonic here, and I'm not gonna let 'em ruin his promise with little Helen!" Deadpool explained.
"Everyone here's gonna be real pissed when they find out you're gone too." Vanessa said.
"They won't be." Deadpool said as he pressed on the handles of his motorcycle.
"What do you mean?" Vanessa asked.
"I'm not gonna be leaving, aren't I?" Deadpool asked with a sly, mouthless grin as he narrowed his eyes to imitate one.
It took a few moments for Vanessa to process this before she realized what he meant.
And then a smirk formed on her lips.
Soon…
Everyone was enjoying their food and chatting with each other, when Wade came back.
"Oh, good! He's back!" one of the reporters exclaimed before the others rushed to the merc. Then they noticed something.
"Uh, where's your girl?" one of them asked.
"Oh, she took a ride home." Wade said. "She left something behind."
As Wade talked to the photographers and reporters, Colossus saw something in the corner of his eye. He looked out the window to see… Wade?
He blinked a few times to make sure he's not seeing things.
He wasn't.
He looked back and saw "Wade" with the reporters, then back outside to see him driving off on his motorcycle. He continued to look back until he realized what this meant.
"Colossus? Colossus!" a female voice snapped him out of his stupor.
He looked back and saw Negasonic holding a cup of fruit punch.
"Would you like a cup of punch?" she asked. "It's right by the buffet."
"Uh… two would be nice." Colossus said sheepishly, as he looked at "Wade".
Meanwhile…
Three jets flew above the lake, where Sonic was pushing Helen in her wheelchair when he stopped.
"Sure is noisy up there." he said, acknowledging the noise from the jets before turning to Helen. "You stay here, I'll go get the boat, okay?"
With that, he dashed away.
Back at the White House…
Jerome walked over to the table, where a few guests were sitting, with a platter of drinks.
"Now then, freshly squeezed juice, anyone?" he offered with a chuckle. "Hey, running low on derves." he looked aside with a glare. "Ugh, they better find that hedgehog fast!"
With Sonic…
The blue hedgehog ran across the field towards the Thorndyke Mansion. Unbeknownst to him, an authority vehicle was parked outside the mansion's gates, where two surveillance officers were observing the house.
"I think I've just spotted him." one officer spoke up, while the other surveillance officer further examined the interior of the mansion, showing Ella talking to Sonic.
"It's him!" the other surveillance officer exclaimed. "We've located Sonic up at the Thorndyke Residence."
Three helicopters flew overhead the mansion, and the three pilots saw Sonic outside the mansion holding a rowboat with surprising strength.
"Down there!" one pilot exclaimed before turning to the other pilot. "Okay, you know what to do."
"Alright!" the second pilot said before he took out a rocket launcher and aimed it at Sonic.
Once he was locked onto the hedgehog, the pilot prepared to pull the trigger, only for him and the other pilot to hear a clicking noise behind them.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Both pilots slowly turned to see Deadpool aiming two pistols at their faces while grinning under his mask.
"You sure as hell don't scare us, Wilson." the pilot spoke up.
"You're right. I don't." Deadpool agreed. "But what your bazooka buddy's about do probably will."
"Watch us." the pilot holding the rocket launcher taunted before firing it at Sonic.
However, Sonic, while still holding the boat, quickly jumped into the air straight towards the missile before kicking it back at the copter and then running out of the gates.
Both pilots had looks of shock and horror on their faces as the missile headed straight for them, while Deadpool just smiled under his mask.
"Good news: you're wearing parachutes!" he said. "Bad news?"
The camera cut to outside the copter, where the two pilots were shown being thrown out, screaming as they fell towards the ground. Deadpool just teleported out of the copter in a puff of black smoke before the missile hit the helicopter.
The pilots quickly opened their parachutes, and they landed safely on the ground.
"Oh, thank God." the pilot said in relief.
"Wait, is Deadpool still mad at us?" the other pilot asked.
Suddenly, Deadpool teleported in front of them and delivered a kick to the gut and an uppercut to both of them, knocking them out.
"Told you so." he quipped before running to his motorcycle and driving off after Sonic.
Back in the vehicle…
"We almost had him, sir." the surveillance officer said. "Now he's traveling on the freeway."
With Sonic…
The blue hedgehog ran along the freeway with the boat still in his hands. He turned around to see police cars and helicopters hot on his heels.
"This is getting on my nerves!" he said in annoyance as he kept running.
As the vehicles gained on him, Deadpool suddenly passed through them in his motorcycle. He took a moment to slow down to match the speed of one car and shot the cop a look of disapproval before wagging his finger at him.
The cop understood the gesture and slowed down, along with the other vehicles. This gave Sonic the opportunity to jump off the freeway towards the ground below, where he kept running.
Deadpool stepped on the brakes and hopped off to see Sonic running off to the lake. He turned to the cops with a slight glare under his mask.
"Look, you're my pals and all, but Sonic's off-limits." he reminded them before hopping back on his motorcycle and driving off.
"Might as well grab some lunch, we'll never catch him anyway!" one officer spoke up, and the others agreed.
Back at the military intel…
The commander was getting some updates from his agents. Needless to say, he was far from pleased.
"What do you mean 'he's off the freeway'?" he asked through his radio, when he listened to the next info. "What's that? The lake?!"
At the lake…
Helen continued to wait patiently for Sonic to come back.
And indeed he did.
"I'm back! You ready?" he asked her.
"Mmm-hmm." Helen said with a nod.
Back at the White House…
A few reporters continued to interview "Wade", Colossus and Negasonic, while some of them were at the buffet. They were rather displeased with Sonic's absence.
"When's he gonna be here?" a reporter asked in a bored tone.
"Is he coming or isn't he?" another reporter asked in the same tone.
"Now fellas, I assure you Sonic's on the way! Just be patient!" Jerome assured them before holding up a salami. "How about a little salami?"
Back at the lake…
The sun began to set as Sonic smoothly paddled the boat across the lake towards the island, with Helen sitting on the other end of the boat.
"Just a little bit farther…" Sonic said as he kept paddling.
"I'm so excited!" Helen exclaimed. "I've dreamed of seeing this island for so long, Sonic! I wish my father could've come with me…"
(Flashback)
At a grocery store, Doug, Helen's father, was mopping the floor.
"If only he didn't have to work so hard, we could be together more." Helen continued as the manager walked up behind Doug.
"Listen Doug, you've been working a lot of hours lately." the manager said." I… could hire someone part-time to make it easier."
"No need to, sir." Doug kindly said. "I don't mind the hard work. Plus, I need the hours."
"Okay, they're yours!" the manager said with a smile.
"You can count on me, sir!" Doug said with a wink.
(End of Flashback)
The two nearly got to the island.
"Almost there!" Sonic said as he continued to paddle, until he and Helen heard the sound of propellers whirring.
The two looked up to see three helicopters hovering above them.
"Who are they?" Helen asked as the wind emitting from the helicopters' rotary blades created a ripple in the lake. Suddenly, a hook shot into the boat and the helicopter turned towards the other direction to drag Sonic and Helen with it.
"Alright, let's pull this baby ashore!" the pilot pulling the boat said to the other pilots.
"The only thing going ashore is you!"
The pilot looked behind him to meet a fist against his face as Deadpool grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him out of the helicopter and into the water below. He turned his attention to the other pilot, who responded by opening the door and jumping out into the water.
He looked out of the copter and shot a thumbs up at Sonic, who smiled at him before turning to Helen.
"Helen, are you okay?" he asked her.
"I'm fine." she answered.
"Good." Sonic said before grabbing the tip of the hook and pulling it out of the boat and attaching it to Helen's wheelchair. "Hang on tight, okay?" The hook lifted them both out of the boat. After reaching a certain point, Sonic released the hook, causing them to fly through the air and reach the edge of a cliff of the island. "Well, we almost made it-"
Before he could finish, the two suddenly started rolling along the cliff towards the water. Sonic used his speed to run quickly enough and push himself and Helen to safety. As soon as he caught his breath, he listened to what appeared to be Helen crying. "Don't cry, Helen, you're alright now." he comforted her.
"Sorry, it's just that... well, I feel so alive!" Helen exclaimed. "I never thought somebody like me could have such an adventure!"
Sonic winked in response, and then turned to see the other helicopters following them.
"These guys just don't give up, do they?" he said before turning to Helen. "Helen, are you up for another adventure?"
"Of course!" Helen cheered.
"Alright!" Sonic said before zooming off with Helen into the forest.
"The target appears to have left the forest, commander." the pilot said in the helicopter.
Back at the military intel…
"Good, we'll be waiting at the other side." the commander said. "Quick, send a squadron out there now!"
"Roger!" the pilot said through the radio.
Back at the White House…
Jerome was laughing, while the gang were having a feast at the table.
"This is boring, wonder what's Sonic doing?" Chris wondered.
Back on the island…
It was nighttime, when a helicopter landed at a section of the island in front of a few agents navigating it. It opened, and a group of soldiers each riding on some sort of a hover vehicle took off into the forest.
With Sonic and Helen…
The two were standing in the middle of the forest, with Sonic listening to Helen's story.
"I really do love my mum and dad, they're so good to me." she said. "That's why they work so hard so I can have everything I need: to make sure I have the best doctors, the best medicine, even this wheelchair must have cost them a lot of money. There's only one thing I want more than anything though, and that's to spend more time with them and have more fun. But I had lots of fun today, Sonic! I've never been so excited in my whole life!"
"Hmm, I have a feeling we'll be in for some more excitement." Sonic said with a smug grin as he looked behind him.
"Huh?" Helen said in confusion, until she saw moving flashlights behind them.
She smiled. "I'm ready if you are!"
"OK!" Sonic said as he placed his hands on the handles of Helen's wheelchair.
"Go!" Helen shouted before Sonic zoomed off with her through the forest with the soldiers hot on their heels. "You think we can beat them?"
"A piece of cake!" Sonic said with a smirk. "Now hold on tight!"
On top of one of the trees, Deadpool watched as the soldiers chased after his friends, and took notice of the vehicles.
"Ooh! Hover-scooters!" he exclaimed as he rubbed his hands together. "I wanna ride one!"
He disappeared into a puff of black smoke and reappeared behind one of the soldiers riding the vehicles and held him in a headlock before he could even react.
"You had your turn! I wanna drive!" he shouted before throwing him out of the vehicle and putting his hands on the handles.
He drove the vehicle towards another one and rammed it against the side, causing the soldier to fall out.
"Bumper cars!" Deadpool shouted while laughing like a maniac before ramming his vehicle into another, crashing it into a tree.
He drove after another vehicle, where the soldier tried to outmaneuver him. Deadpool eventually caught up to him and rammed the vehicle, knocking the soldier off.
Deadpool laughed as he watched the soldier roll on the ground before turning to where he was going, then his eyes widened.
"Oh, crap!" he shouted before disappearing into a puff of black smoke as the vehicle crashed into a tree.
Meanwhile…
Sonic kept running while pushing Helen's wheelchair before looking behind him.
"Thought you'd catch me, did ya?" he taunted the soldiers.
"Sonic, up ahead!" Helen shouted.
Sonic turned to see that he and Helen were headed straight for a cliff. He quickly stopped, and he and Helen looked up to see a path at the top.
"Here they come!" Helen shouted as she saw the soldiers, who have recovered and are now back in their vehicles, heading for them. Sonic took a few steps back. "You ready?" Helen asked.
"Here goes!" Sonic said before dashing up the cliff with Helen until they reached the top.
Unfortunately for the soldiers, they couldn't turn their vehicles around as they crashed into the cliff.
Sonic and Helen chuckled at the soldiers' misfortune before turning their attention towards a beautiful meadow of flowers.
"Dad was right, Sonic!" Helen said in awe. "They're the prettiest flowers anywhere!"
"I'll pick some for you, Helen!" Sonic said before he bent down to pick one up, when Helen stopped him all of a sudden.
"Don't!" she said. "Leave them just as they are. I want to come back someday with my mother and father."
"I get it." Sonic understood. "That way, it will be just as beautiful."
Flower petals float by in the air, filling the scene with serenity.
Suddenly, hooks were launched onto the cliff behind Sonic and Helen. Sonic looked over to see the soldiers climbing on the rope.
"These guys just won't quit!" he said in disbelief.
"We can't let them up here." Helen said with worry. "If we do, they'll ruin all the flowers!"
"Not if I can help it." Sonic said with a confident smirk.
The soldiers continued to climb the rope.
"Hey! Over here!" they heard a voice call them from behind. They turned and saw Sonic and Helen on the other side of the cliff, with the former waving at them.
"There he is!" a soldier yelled before jumping off, and the others followed.
Sonic and Helen took off as the soldiers gave chase again in their vehicles.
"Those guys are faster than we thought!" Sonic said as he looked behind him before looking back in front of him, and gave off a yell as he saw a the edge of a cliff. He was able to slow down just in time.
"Bummer…" he said before he and Helen looked behind them to see the soldiers aiming their hook guns at Sonic. Suddenly, a helicopter appeared behind them, flashing a light down on them.
"Alright, Sonic, let's go!" a soldier ordered. "You're wanted by the President, and don't pull any funny stuff."
"I'll go, but you gotta catch me!" Sonic taunted.
"Alright, you asked for it!" the soldier threatened as he, the other soldiers and the helicopter prepared to fire their hooks at Sonic, who positioned himself somewhere else.
"Fire!"
The soldiers and the helicopter fire their hooks at Sonic, who ran out of the way just in time, resulting in the hooks tying a knot with each other. Sonic picked up Helen in his arms and ran along the rope to the helicopter.
"Hey!" the pilot shouted before attempting to make a grab for Sonic, only to fall out of the helicopter, screaming.
"Call me!" Sonic shouted to the falling pilot, who landed into the water below.
"Can you fly this thing?" Helen asked.
"I usually leave the flying to Tails, but I'll sure try." Sonic said before pressing a button, which detached the hook weapon from the helicopter, knocking the military soldiers back with a thud. "Hey, I almost forgot something!"
He presses another button in the joystick to fire a hook which attached to Helen's wheelchair before Sonic proceeded to pilot the helicopter away from the island.
"Boy, what a ride!" a voice said from behind them, causing them to jump in surprise. They turned around to see Deadpool in the backseat, smiling under his mask.
"Deadpool?" Sonic asked.
"How long have you been here?" Helen asked.
"I can teleport, remember?" the merc reminded.
"Oh, yeah." Sonic remembered.
"Sonic, look! The flowers!" Helen said to Sonic as she pointed outside the helicopter, where flower petals were floating gently in the air.
Later…
The trio remained silent on the way back to Station Square, where they were flying above in the helicopter.
"Well, I guess our adventure's over, Sonic." Helen said.
"Guess so." Sonic said in agreement. "Did you have fun?"
"Sure did!" Helen said with a smile.
Sonic turned to Deadpool, who removed his mask and gave a mouthless smile to his friend.
"Thanks a lot, Wade." Sonic said with a smile.
"Don't mention it." Deadpool said. "I got your back."
"Say, I thought you were at the party." Sonic realized.
"Don't worry, Vanessa's got me covered." Deadpool said with a wink.
"Well, that's a relief." Sonic said before turning to Helen. "It's getting late, I should take you home."
"But Sonic, shouldn't you be supposed to go and see the President?" Helen reminded him.
"That guy can wait." Sonic said.
"But I feel awful if you didn't get to see him because of me…" Helen said with guilt. "Please go see him. I'll even go with you!"
"Yeah, buddy." Deadpool added. "We still have time. And I wanna go back to talking with my press!"
Sonic began to think about it for a moment, then came to a conclusion.
"Since you put it that way…"
He piloted the helicopter towards the White House.
Back at the White House…
Jerome was on the phone with the soldiers, and he was rather displeased.
"What's that? He did?!" he gawked. "The what?! The chopper?! What now?!" he looked to his side and yelled as he saw Sonic and Helen standing out the door with the helicopter behind them. "Wade", Colossus, Negasonic, Amy, Tails, Cream, Cheese, Chris and Chuck looked at them in surprise.
"It's Sonic! He came after all! He's here! He's really here!" Jerome cheered as the guests turned to Sonic's direction and the President walked towards Sonic.
"Great to finally meet you, Sonic." the President said with a smile before shaking hands with Sonic.
As the gang looked on, "Wade" felt a tap on "his" shoulder. "He" turned to see Wade, back in his red tux.
"Show's over, Ness." Wade said with a mouthless grin.
Vanessa, still in her disguise, looked to see the distracted party goers before heading into another room with Wade. A few seconds later, the two came out, with Vanessa no longer in her disguise.
Wade walked up to the President and shook his hand.
"Now, hold that right there!" Jerome shouted excitedly. "Hurry, hurry! Reporters, photographers, this is the moment you've been waiting for!"
The response he got was silence.
All of the photographers and reporters were sleeping at a table. Jerome screamed in dismay while the others laughed.
"This was probably the best night ever!" Deadpool said.
At Helen's house…
Helen was having dinner with her parents, while she explained the events of the day.
"So there we were, in the middle, of all these beautiful flowers." Helen explained her story with her mouth full. "All of a sudden, we looked down and saw the men climbing toward us! Before I knew it was happening, Sonic and I were whirling into the forest and then they were following us on these strange flying bicycles, but we were way ahead of them, and then we came to a cliff looking way down over the ocean, and this helicopter came so they could take Sonic to the President, and they shot off this rope with a claw on the end, but Sonic grabbed me and- oh, momma, could I-"
"Alright! I don't think I've ever seen you eat like this…" Helen's mother interrupted her.
"So anyway-" Helen tried to continue.
"Now hold on, honey, I'm gonna go get a refill, too!" Doug interrupted her as well. "With a story as fascinating as this, I'm gonna need my energy!"
"Hurry back, dad!" Helen said. "I'll tell you about the helicopter! Sonic grabbed me out of my wheelchair and he carried me all the way up the rope!"
"Alright, alright!" Doug said with interest. "Our little girl's had quite the adventure!"
"Do you hear?" Helen's mother asked Doug as she began to get emotional. "She's so changed… She sounds, sounds so happy. I just want, to be there for her… Spend more time with her…" she began to cry.
"Yeah, I've been working too many hours lately." Doug agreed. "I haven't spent enough time with the family. Let's plan a daytrip Helen loves so much! What do you say?"
"Mum, dad!" Helen shouted. "What's taking you so long?"
"We're coming, honey!" Doug said.
"Sorry, dear!" Helen's mother said. "Your father and I were having a very important discussion."
"Hurry!" Helen said eagerly. "I'm coming to the most exciting part! Anyway, we got into the helicopter-"
"A helicopter?" Helen's mother interrupted her yet again. "I've never been in one!"
"And I bet you flew it all the way to the President!" Doug teased.
"No fair, dad! You're ruining my story!" Helen pouted.
From outside, Sonic was watching the conversation on a tree.
He had to agree with Wade, this was definitely the best night ever.
At the hospital…
"OW!" Terrence shouted as the doctor lifted his cast-covered leg up. "Jesus! Careful, will you?!"
"Sorry." the doctor said before muttering "whiny asshole" under his breath.
For hours, Terrence had been going through painful procedures from the doctors. It was hard to tell if they were fixing him, or were probably enjoying it.
"I'll be back in five minutes with the peroxide." the doctor said before heading out the door. "Don't go anywhere."
"I can't go anywhere! I can't move!" Terrence yelled, but the doctor already left.
He groaned. Deadpool was going to pay for this one day! He made him lose respect from his superiors, and made him a laughing stock among Station Square! But he doesn't want to risk another broken bone, like all the others.
Just then, the door opened, and a man entered. He wore a grey suit with black shoes and wore a grey hat.
"Good evening, deputy." the man greeted him as he stood next to him. "Hope you're feeling well."
"Hey, you're Chance White." Terrence said as he recognized his face. "What're you doing here?"
"I'm here to give you an invitation." Chance said. "I have the tools you need to get rid of that fool, Deadpool. He's been watching me since his second week here, and it's getting on my nerves. That's why I'm putting together a group of criminals that that mouthless bastard wasn't able to capture or kill yet. These people are only on Wilson's so-called 'naughty list'."
"Wait. You're saying these guys are killers?" Terrence asked.
"Correct." Chance replied. "And I even invited some of your 'friends' who've been put out of their jobs by that mutie. He has no idea how much money I'm making off of this."
"What are you talking about?" Terrence asked.
"I'm saying that if he fights crime, I get richer." Chance replied. "Tell you what: you get rid of Deadpool, and I'll split the money with you and the others. You could have a place at GWN. What do you say?"
Terrence thought about it. Despite having lost everything and now humiliated, he still wanted to get back at Deadpool.
"I'm in." he answered.
"You made the right choice." Chance said with an evil grin before handing Terrence a card with GWN labelled on it. "Meet us there, until you recover." he headed out the door. "Visiting hours must be over. So I best be on my way. Get well soon."
As soon as he exited out the door, the doctor came back with a small bottle in his hand.
"I'm back with the peroxide." he said as he put a few drops of the liquid in his hand. "This might sting a little."
"Oh, God!" Terrence whimpered as he prepared for the worst.
Outside of the hospital, Chance could hear Terrence's screams echo from inside. He ignored it and walked into his limo, and the driver took him back to GWN.
A/N: Wow! Five months since my last Deadpool/Sonic crossover story! I'm still working on a new chapter for my other story, "The Spider and the Hedgehog". Don't worry! More chapters are on the way!
