A Week With Red Team Chapter 2 Alternate Universe
"You said we were teleporting to the Russians!"
"It was a little mistake, that's all!"
"I'm not hearing heartbeats, I'm smelling a lot of rotting flesh, and I'm seriously confused by all the weird oozy sounds!"
"You ever watch zombie flicks before those blues of yours went cloudy?"
"Not on the streets, Deadpool!" Daredevil hissed. "And no. Dad's work filled my blood quota."
"Most preteens aren't allowed to watch horror movies," Spiderman pointed out. "What he's failing to tell you, Double D, is that the ravenous horde trying to smash us up appears to be zombies."
"So I'm okay to crush their skulls?"
"You know me, sexy devil, I always think it's okay to crush skulls."
"No, Deadpool; usually crushing skulls is bad. Daredevil, I reckon you're fine."
"My sticks will stink for a year."
"Hey, teleport's rebooted, if you want outta here."
"Oh yes please."
"Spiderman, Daredevil, freeze!"
The trio froze at Captain America's voice. "Cap?!" Spiderman squeaked.
"On the ground," Captain America said firmly. "Don't think the new suits'll fool me. Deadpool, cuff 'em."
"What?" Deadpool asked. "Uh, I'm completely lost here…"
"New York, 58th and 12th, edge of the Kitchen," Daredevil muttered. "But it's a bit…off."
"Cap? These aren't new suits…" Spiderman said hesitantly.
"Well they're not the ones you were wearing during your takeover of Fisk's operation," Captain America snarled. "Deadpool, what are you waiting for?"
"Wait," Daredevil said. "We'll stand down, okay? Spiderman, Deadpool, follow my lead." He carefully stepped aside, raising his hands to lace his fingers behind his head, and slowly knelt. He heard the echoes of Spiderman and Deadpool doing the same, and Captain America's hear beating a quick rhythm of confusion and suspicion. "Can we ask you a few questions?" Daredevil asked.
"What are you playing at?" Captain America asked. "Why are you surrendering so easily?"
"We don't want to fight you," Daredevil assured him. The Captain's body gave off waves of scepticism. "You don't believe me. But you want to bring us in, not kill us, don't you?"
"There are better options than murder," Captain America answered.
"Please tell me you don't want to kill us if you don't have to," Daredevil whispered. His focus narrowed down, to Cap's voice and heart. "The words are important. Please."
"I don't want to kill you if I don't have to," Captain America parroted. His heartbeat remained steady and truthful.
"I believe you," Daredevil nodded. "Deadpool, would you lend the Captain a gun or two to cover us?"
Captain America's heartbeat jumped a little. "Deadpool, could you cover them?"
"What?" Spiderman, Daredevil and Deadpool all said at once.
"You trust me to cover Spiderman and Daredevil?" Deadpool asked.
"I'm still not sure why you want to detain us," Spiderman whined.
"Deadpool, I know you think they're not too bad, but we need to take them into custody," Captain America said.
Daredevil winced. This was giving him a headache. "Captain, do you know Spiderman and Daredevil to have been involved in illegal activities other than vigilantism?"
"You weren't exactly subtle about it," Captain America grunted.
"Please give me a yes or no."
Captain America sighed. "Yes, I know Spiderman and Daredevil to have been involved in illegal activities other than vigilantism."
Truth. "But Deadpool is your…ally? Teammate?"
"He's a SHIELD contractor, on semi-permanent assignment to the Avengers."
"You're telling the truth," Daredevil stated. He rocked back on his heels. "Are you aware that Deadpool has a teleport?"
"Yes, so?"
"Did you know this teleport can go between alternate universes?"
Captain America's heart skipped a beat. "And I suppose you're going to claim to be from an alternate universe?"
"I don't know what's going on in your world, Captain, but we're just interested in getting home."
Spiderman was getting twitchy, and Deadpool had started fingering a knife he kept in a holster tucked behind his katanas.
"You can confirm that, Deadpool?" Captain America asked.
"Yeah, ask the psycho merc," Spiderman whispered in an undertone. Daredevil jerked his head over to approximate a hard stare; they didn't need Captain America to hear that their Deadpool was an insane killer.
"They're good people, Cap," Deadpool confirmed.
"Can we get off our knees now?" Spiderman asked.
"Yeah, I think I know how to get us home now," Deadpool asked.
"This doesn't look like New York."
"Doesn't smell like it either."
"Hey, you see that ship out there?"
"Yes."
"No."
"That's a British warship. Circa the War for Independence."
"Where have you dumped us now?!"
AN: Yes it follows from yesterday.
Yes I am still working on the usual stuff.
Yes I'm sorry for the delays.
Enjoy.
