(Chapter Four – The Announcement)
It's been about seven minutes since this high-speed pursuit started. Clark turned down every corner he could, thinking that he would eventually lose Chris, but he just couldn't shake him off. "This is not looking good," spoke the creeper in a panic, sweating frantically as he kept on looking at the rearview mirror. "I'm going to get away! I just know I will!" X-23's body was in the backseat of his car, and he believed that she was down for the count, but he was now about to get the surprise of a lifetime.
From out of nowhere, he suddenly felt an arm roughly wrap around his neck, and right under his chin he felt really sharp claws poking his Adams apple. "Tell me something, what is the sound an idiot usually makes when they get their throat slashed clean open?" asked Laura, sounding deadly as can be.
Clark started to shake now. He couldn't even speak as he saw his life start to flash right before his very own eyes. "Uh, um, um, uh, uh…"
He then felt the razor-sharp edges slowly dig into his flesh, blood now trickling down his neck. "I'm waiting," she then calmly exclaimed, sounding louder and much more aggravated this time.
The man was still trying to keep an eye on the road, but at the same time tried his best to pay attention to what she was saying to him. "Uh, uh, uh, uh, um… they say please don't kill me?"
"Is that your final answer?"
The claws were gradually getting deeper by each passing second, and he felt like he really couldn't take the pain anymore. "Yes, that's my final answer!"
"Sorry, but your answer is wrong. The right answer is this!"
That was the last thing Clark heard as X-23 violently cut the man's throat wide open. Her attack instantaneously killed him, but thanks to him being dead the car was now losing its control. Soon as Chris saw the car sharply turn left, now about to hit a nearby telephone pole, and then started to panic.
"NO!" he shouted, later seeing the car ram right into the thing. The vehicle stopped and now looked like a total mess. Seconds later, Redfield pulled up next to the busted up looking automobile, quickly getting out of his own car and running over towards the accident. He was afraid to see what lied inside of the thing, but to his surprise he saw Laura kick down the car door and step outside of the vehicle. He did not expect to see her just walk out like that. "L-Laura, you're alive?!"
The woman with jade colored eyes simply smirked at the man before she replied back very nonchalantly, "Oh, please. Did you actually believe that I could easily be killed like that?" She then sheathed her claws away, later fixing up her long, black hair.
"I don't know. I'm just so relieved that you're safe! Oh, thank God you're alright! Hey, where's Clark?"
"He's still inside of the car. I killed him, though," she told him, sounding very bleak about this whole situation.
The captain closed his eyes, shook his head, and then opened back up his eyes as he looked at his date. "Laura," spoke the man. "I'm really… really sorry about what happened tonight. Everything was going way too well, so I should have known something stupid like this was going to happen. Danger and disaster follows me everywhere I go, and tonight only proves that belief of mine even more."
It was obvious to see that he wasn't feeling very well at the moment, so she decided to do something about that. Chris started to hang his head down now. It seemed like the horrible ending of their night together really affected him in a very bad way. "Aw, don't say that, Chris."
"Look, I can completely understand if you never want to go out with me ever again. I mean, what just happened was so stupid. It was so… so random! I never even heard of the DMF before, and that's weird because I thought I knew about all of the forces that were out there, you know?"
He then felt her hand touch his face. He titled his head back up, only to be greeted by the soft lips of his date. She kissed him for a few seconds, soon pulling away and looking at him with a smile. "Chris… in case you did not know already, I'm quite used to danger, as well. I was not raised in some sunshiny city with Mr. Rogers and Edith, okay? Danger is basically something that I am all too familiar with, just like you. And I don't know about you precisely, but I know I wouldn't think twice about dating you again. You know I love you… right, Chris?"
"Laura… do you really mean all of-"
"Yes, I really do mean every word that I said. Gosh, Chris, can you be anymore dimwitted right now?" She let out a chuckle after she said that to him, afterwards hugging him as she closed her eyes.
Chris hugged her right back. "Thanks, Laura. I love you, too."
Moments later, the police arrived at the scene. The two stopped hugging as they looked around to see what was going on. One of the officers walked over to them as he asked, "Is your name Chris Redfield?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"And is your name Laura Kinney?"
"That's my name, don't wear it out."
"And did you, Laura Kinney, just murder all of the members of the DMF?"
She then looked over at Chris, as if her eyes were asking him what to do. He simply nodded his head at her, and then she looked back at the officer. "Yeah, I killed them all." Everybody then started to cheer, and they cheered loudly. This really confused both X-23 and Chris. "You're happy that I did that?"
"Why, of course we are! Those people weren't really even humans! We were trying to get rid of those monsters since forever, and now thanks to you WE'RE SAVED!"
"I guess that means no jail time then, right?" asked the woman.
The police officer chuckled a few times before answering back to her, "No, not at all. Anyways, you two stay out of trouble. See you around." After that, all of the officers then got back in their cars and drove away. The two then looked at each other, not knowing what to really say right now.
"Wow… I don't even know what just happened," stated Redfield, scratching his head.
"Who really cares? I'm just glad there was no actual penalty."
"True. Hey, he mentioned something about those guys not being human, right?"
"Yeah, he did."
"But, if they weren't humans… then what the heck were they?"
"Scumbags that wanted to die," was her answer as she started to walk over toward Chris's car. "We should head back to the stadium now. I'm kind of fatigued."
"Yeah, let's get out of here." Soon enough, they were now on their way back over to the Marvel vs. Capcom stadium. And speaking of which, let's see how Dante and the others are doing at the moment.
The demon killer was now back sitting down on the sofa as the happy succubus was still firmly embracing him. "When are you going to stop hugging me?" he asked her, sounding drowsy.
"Just five more minutes, darling," he then heard her whisper.
Deadpool then walked back inside of the room. "Darn that Spider-Man! He actually still believes that his suit is better than mine! Come on, look at me here! I have my face on my belt for crying out loud!" He then looked down at the couch and noticed Dante and Morrigan sitting there. "You guys are still here? You do know that Hsien-Ko is making her awesome green tea for everyone in the kitchen, right? She's also throwing another party for that Mega Man kid, too! Hey, speaking of him, who wants to play some Mega Man 4 on the Nintendo? Come on, it'll be so much fun!"
"Shut up, dude," said Dante, really not wanting to deal with the merc at all.
"Hold me, Dante," breathed out Morrigan.
"No."
"No Mega Man 4 then, eh? Fine! I know you guys would just love to play some Rad Racer! Yeah, that game is bad butt! Get it? Because, people usually say bad donkey, but instead I said bad butt… because the donkey part means butt, and that's what they're really saying, so… the what-what in the butt-"
"DUDE, SHUT UP!"
"You see, Dante, you're just mad, because I'm totally bad butt and you're not. I mean, how bad butt is wearing this suit for example? That's just way too bad of a butt right there, huh?"
As Deadpool kept on ranting about more silly baloney, Chris and Laura soon walked inside of the stadium. "Hey," said Chris as he shut the door behind him. "What's going on?"
The mercenary began to wave at them. "Laura, Chris, how's it all going?! It took you guys long enough to get back here."
"Well, we didn't want to rush our night out, you know," declared X-23.
Dante looked over at them, later asking, "So, did everything go alright?"
Chris noticed Morrigan hugging him, which made him not speak right away. "Uh… yeah, everything went just fine. Right, Laura?" he asked, looking at her.
She then closed her eyes and grinned. "Yeah, it was just peachy."
After focusing his attention back on Dante, the captain then spoke very inquisitively, "By the way, what's up with you and Morrigan, Dante? I never thought I'd see you two sitting around cuddling each other."
"Dude, I'm not cuddling crap, she is cuddling me. And it's kind of a long story, so ask me again later. I just want to go to sleep and rest for a while."
"I see," was the man's response, clearing his throat afterwards. "There is something else that I believe Laura and I need to address to you all."
Deadpool's eyes then started to slowly grow wide when Chris said that. "No, no, NO! Please don't tell me that you're a proud supporter of the infamous Comfort Wipe! Come on, Chrissie Snow, I thought you were better than that! X-23, you need to dump this guy right away!"
Redfield raised an eyebrow, and then serenely retorted back, "No, Wade, what I'm about to say has nothing to do about the Comfort Wipe. And in all honesty, I have absolutely no idea what the heck that even is. But whatever it is, it sure sounds… well, disturbing."
"It is," said Laura. "I remember seeing commercials about it before. It's really embarrassing, not to mention awkward."
"Preach it!" yelled the masked assassin, stomping his feet and dancing around. "Didtawat, didtawat!"
Chris then cleared his throat again. "Okay, yeah, whatever. Anyway, like I was saying, I have an announcement to make, or should I say WE have an announcement to make."
"What's up?" asked Dante.
"Well, we're not exactly sure when, but Laura and I decided that we are going to get married someday. We discussed the whole thing on our way back here."
"Aren't you all happy for us?" asked the woman as she grabbed onto the arm of her date.
"You, the writer, the date is over now, so you should stop referring to Chris as her date!" said Deadpool.
"Oh, that sounds wonderful," spoke the succubus, turning her head and looking at them both. "Dante and I might be getting married, too."
"Woman, I am NOT getting married! I'm a free bird. Besides, even if I did want to marry someday, it sure as heck wouldn't be-" Before he got to finish his sentence, his eyes noticed just how sorrowful Morrigan began to look. He actually felt like he didn't want to hurt her feelings. "Uh… never mind, just forget it," he muttered as he closed his eyes, looking as though he was about to fall to sleep. "Oh, and yeah, that's great news, you guys."
The merc then gave them a thumbs-up as he said, "Congrats, my friends! By the way, am I the only one here that thinks Goku could easily beat the crap out of Super Man?"
End of chapter!
Guess what? The last chapter is dead ahead ^_^.
Deadpool: Hey, nobody even answered my friggin' question! That's just not right! Hey, wait a second… HURRAY! My words are in bold text now! :D
Dante: Dude, give it a rest, will ya?
