As my teleportation device lands me safely back on the soft surface of the desert sand, I suddenly gave under the wait of the Benji I was carrying on my back. I was nearly crushed by the oath (fat git), but me being me I always manage to wriggle out of tight spots.
"Boy, you're heavier than you look." I sighed, as I took a moment to regain my breath. As I turned to Benji's unconscious state I was surprised to notice that he had decided to wakeup. He was gazing down at the palm of his open palm. At first I thought he had gone slightly mental from that inch thick pill he had taken a minute ago, but then I noticed that his hand began to glow a dim purple colour. Although I was more concerned with my fee.
"So, mission accomplished, sir. I think it's time for you to hold up your end of the bargain." ('cause if you don't I'm gonna skin you alive, you lazy little-.)
"Yes. My end of the bargain… of course." Benji replied, turning to face me with a sinister smile on his face.
"Yeah! You didn't think I'd forgotten did'ya?" (Deadpool needs his compensation for doing all the work!)
"Don't worry, Wade. I promised to relieve you of your current appearance so HERE!" As he spoke, Benji's glowing hand intensified to a bright ultra violet light, which momentarily impaired my vision, and quickly grabbed me by the arm. (Eeeew! I don't want to hold hands, you freak!)
"What are you doing!" I cried. I attempted to force him away from me, but I could feel my body shutting down and I was helpless to prevent whatever he was succeeding to do. (Rape!)
"I'm testing my new abilities, Wilson. You were given an enhanced version of Weapon X's healing powers and, thanks to you; I have taken an enhanced version of a power acquired from the DNA of a long-deceased friend of yours, Vanessa Carlysle." The sound of her name brings my full attention to Benji's words. "You're familiar with her power to copy other mutant's powers aren't you?" Benji goes on to say. "Well I don't simply copy them – I extract them. Not to worry, Wilson. It will all be over soon. Without your powers your cancer shall free you from this Earth. No longer shall you have to live as this freak you were forced to become. Goodbye, Wilson."
I felt my body lose life as my powers had been fully drained. I had barely enough strength to balance my self in my knelt position. I couldn't even lift my head (sleepy). I knew that this was it. I could feel the cancer growing inside me. As the monster stood watching me, I musted the strength to speak two final words.
"Ripp off." And my body slumped, lifelessly to the sand.
Benji flipped my body over to reveal my chest plate (my teleporty mubob). Curling his fingers around the device he pulled it from my suit. Standing back to his upright position, he analyzed the technology before slamming it with his palm and he vanished.
"It's cold." I thought to myself. (Well, I was dead. I didn't think you could talk when you were dead)
"Wade?" I heard a soothing and yet familiar voice call to me. Out of the darkness formed a spirit (she was hot!).
"Vanessa?" I recognized her as she took full shape. "Vanessa, am I dead?"
As I asked her, the features of the figure began to warp.
"Nearly." The figure replied as it took its true shape. It was none other than Death (The shape of the grim reaper, except female. You dig?).
"Hey. It's been a while."
"Yes, my precious, it has." Death spoke in her hollow tone.
"Looks like this is it. We can finally be together, you and me."
"I'm afraid not, hun."
"Wait. What?" I was surprised to here that I wasn't going to die after all (what a relief) but even more surprised to hear that Death sounded pleased by this. "I'm not dead?"
"Not this time. It appears there are some friends upstairs wanting you to wake up. And I have to let you go once again, my sweet."
"But my powers are gone. My cancer-"
"I know." Death cut me short. "What is about to transpire threatens to end all life in existence, and you are to prevent this from happening." She explained.
"End of life? Isn't that a good thing in your case? Everyone dying?" I queried.
"Not at all, darling. If all life was to end then there would be no need for death anymore. I would cease to exist."
"Oh, I see"
"I must relinquish you back to the land of the living for now, my sweet. But soon – Soon, my love." And with a gesture of farewell, I was cast back into my body. I gained a sudden jolt of consciousness as I regained life. I awoke in what appeared to be a surgery room, surrounded by a dozen doctors and nurses, frozen, staring at me from all sides. They had obviously been working to keep me alive and been shocked by my resurrection (I felt like getting up and chasing people, shouting brains repetitively).
"Hey, guys." I spoke to break the awkward silence.
"He's alive?" One of the doctors spoke.
Another doctor approached me and pulled her face-mask to one side. "Wade, are you alright?"
"Yes." I said, realizing that the doctor was a woman (a hot woman) and that I was naked on a surgery table.
"You're lucky to be alive. We brought you down to our medical bay from the surface." She explained.
"Oh yeah! Benji!" I remembered that I had been betrayed by the one who brought me here in the first place.
"Yes, Benji is right. You have no idea what you've given him, do you?" The woman spoke to me as if I was some kind of an idiot.
"Sure I do. He took that pill thing and now he can drain people of their powers."
"Yes, but the powers he drains he acquires for himself. Thanks to you, he's immortal now. The only reason you're alive is because your powers are enhanced so that you cannot die. We made a point of making it so that the pill can't be used to completely take away Weapon X subject's abilities. Fortunately you fall under that category. Unfortunately, a major part of your power has been taken. I'm afraid, although your abilities are working enough to prevent your illness from killing you, you may find yourself very mortal as far as being shot, stabbed or blown up goes." The patronizing woman lectured, as I sighed at the news of me no longer being immortal.
"Does Benji know that I'm still alive?"
"No. And that gives us the advantage when you surprise him on your next encounter and administer him with a precaution, we made the point of developing." The woman went on to say before I had to interrupt her.
"Although I'm fully intrigued to hear what precautions you've made, could I please get dressed. I feel a little on for show here." (Plus, I really don't want you to notice what I'm strategically concealing behind my leg.)
