Chapter Four

Riley had her back against her door while letting out a big breath. She couldn't believe she had let Storm get under her skin like that. It wasn't like her to get all flustered up about some guy she only had one coffee with. Honestly though she was more worried if the people that were after her would use Wade to get to her. She grabbed her phone from her bed and pulled up the conversation with Wade.

Morning. How are you doing today?

When she hit send she knew how lame this text must be but she just wanted to make sure he was okay.

Morning to you too. I'm actually on my way to get some Starbuck again. Let's hope no one runs into me today.

His text put a smile on her face. More like a stupid grin than a smile. She put her phone in her back pocket and walked out of her room to find Storm. She found Storm downstairs talking a student. Riley waited until she was done with her conversation before she stepped up to get Storm's attention.

"Hey, Storm. So about that guy on the picture."

Storm seemed surprised that Riley brought him up again seeing as Riley never likes to talk about boys.

"What about him?" She said with a smile.

"I'm actually having a date with him. On Monday."

Storm her smile just grew wider as she tried to maintain her excitement.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me."

Storm let out a squeal of excitement and hugged Riley hard.

"Of course, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this!"

Riley wiggled her way out of the hug with a big smile on her face.

"Alright alright calm down. It's just a date."

Deadpool made his way back into the abandoned office building, determined to find more clues about who has it out for Riley.

Look at us being all hero-like!

He stepped over the dead guy who was beginning to smell.

It is best if we hurry this up.

"Like I don't know that. Now shut up and let me look around."

He looked over some papers on the table but they seemed useless to him. He spotted a name on one of the papers. Dr. Wakeman. There were a lot of scribbles around it and stuff he couldn't make out but he tugged it in his pouch to take with him. Dr. Wakeman, where did he hear that name before.

Maybe on the TV?

He sat down on the chair that still had the ropes the dead guy used to restrain the girl hanging from it. He threw his feet on the table and flipped through a few more pages. There was a lot of information about a girl with healing abilities that escaped Weapon X. Riley must have escaped the Weapon X program before he joined because he'd be damn sure he wouldn't forget a pretty face like that. Or an ass like that. He nearly fell off his chair when his phone started vibrating.

Found a contract. You up for it?

Yay more money!

He could use the distraction of a new kill and the money.

Of course! Send me the details.

He quickly replied and decided to dig into Dr. Wakeman later. He got the text with the details. The guy he needed to kill would be going out to dinner tonight so he decided to go home to get some more of his toys. Maybe one with a silencer on it so he wouldn't draw too much attention. As he walked out of the building his phone went off again.

About the date. What are we gonna do?

He let out a little chuckle before answering. He hadn't really given much thought into the date yet. He decided to go with the normal options.

I'll take you out for dinner and a movie. Is that cheesy enough for you? ;)

He hit send and he almost immediately got a reply from Riley.

I happen to love cheese.

He let out a laugh and put his phone back into one of the pouches.

Riley was in a fitting room stuffed with at least ten different outfits. Storm hadn't even given her a chance to look at something on her own, she just had to stay in the fitting room while Storm handed her new outfits. She was starting to regret this whole shopping trip.

"Here try this. It will look great on you."

Storm said as she pushes her arm through the curtain, holding up another outfit.

"What was wrong with the other four outfits?" Riley said with a slight tone of desperation in her voice.

She was never getting out of this fitting room again if it was up to Storm.

"It's not sexy enough Riley! I wanna see you in something else than jeans and hoodies!"

Storm shouted across the store. Thank god Riley was in the fitting room so she wouldn't have to feel embarrassed by strangers looking at her. Riley actually did have a lot of nice clothes at home, but she only pulled those out when she has a contract she could complete by just seducing the guy. But Storm didn't have to know that and she didn't want to use those clothes for a date because that would feel wrong to her. She had taken lives in those clothes; it would feel weird to have dinner in them. She pulled on the leather dress Storm had given her and looked herself over in the mirror. The dress had a high neckline with long sleeves and ended just above her knees. Even though she wasn't showing any skin with this dress it made her feel incredibly sexy. It was hugging her body in all the right places and it brought out the curves of her small frame. This was it, she was done. This is the one she wanted for her date with Wade. She changed back into her jeans with a black hoodie and left the fitting room. Storm had just walked back up holding more clothes.

"No need for that Storm. I want this one." Riley said as she held up the dress with a big smile.

"Perfect choice. I was hoping you would go for that one. I'll go get the clothes from the fitting room before that girl over there gets mad at me for making a mess."

Storm said as she pointed towards a stressed out girl that seemed to work here. Riley let out a small chuckle as she made her way to the checkout. When she had paid she could feel her phone go off. It wasn't a text message this time; someone was calling her with an unknown number.

"Hello?"

She held her finger up at Storm to silence her when she walked up to Riley.

"So sorry to resort to calling you Riley but I've got a new contract for you that you can't skip out on."

Storm looked at her confused and Riley turned away to not let Storm hear too much.

"Okay, tell me."

Storm signaled that she would go get them some coffee so she could take her call in private. Riley nodded her head and went to sit down on a bench.

"Some guy in a human trafficking organization went rogue and now he ordered a hit on the guy running the place down at the docks in Jersey. If you take this guy out Riley, it would do mayor damage in the trafficking organization here in New York."

She knew her friend knew she would take the job as soon as he brought up human trafficking. It was a matter that hit close to home as human trafficking was the reason she got into Weapon X in the first place.

"I'll do it. Text me the details."

When she hung up her phone she thought back of when she was a child. Scared and alone in a container with other mutants who had been taken away to be sold off to the Weapon X program. Or to anyone else who was willing to perform experiments on them just to see what makes the mutants tick. The text message she received with the details took her attention away from the sad memories. Seems like she would have to cut her weekend with Storm short as the hit had to go down tonight. Storm was just walking back towards Riley with two Starbucks coffees in her hands. Riley got up from the bench and walked over to Storm to grab her coffee.

"What was that about? It seemed serious." Storm said as they were walking past the stores.

"Yeah, it was. I'm gonna have to go when we get back to the X-Mansion. Something came up that I have to take care of."

Riley saw Storm her face drop and immediately she felt guilty for having to bail on Storm again.

"It's a new contract isn't it?" She said as Riley took a sip of her hot coffee.

"It's not just any contract Storm. I can't tell you more, just that it's important to me."

Storm let out a sigh and hooked her arm with Riley's.

"Fine, I won't judge. Let's get back to the Mansion then."

Riley was glad that even though Storm never agreed with her mercenary life, she would never give Riley a hard time about it.

Riley was packing up her things in the room she was staying when she heard a knock on the door.

"It's open." She said as she was stuffing her clothes into the suitcase.

Logan walked into her room and closed the door behind him.

"Storm told me you were leaving today." Riley nodded her head.

"Yeah, I just have something to take care off tonight." Logan crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

"Is that really such a good idea when there are people who are after you?"

Riley let out a sigh and dropped her shower gel in the suitcase.

"You know I can take care of myself, Logan. It's just business as usual, you don't have to worry."

Logan walked up to her and grabbed her softly by her shoulders.

"I know Riley. Just know that we always have a place for you here and if anything is wrong you can call us."

He pulled her into a hug that lasted five seconds and then walked out the door to leave her to her packing. Storm had been waiting outside with Riley for the taxi that was on his way to pick her up. When Storm saw the taxi come up the driveway she grabbed Riley and pulled her into a hug.

"Can you call me tonight? Just so I know you're alright?" Riley nodded her head.

"I will don't worry. I love you."

She gave Storm a kiss on the cheek and grabbed her suitcase as the taxi came to a hold next to her.

"I love you too sweety."

An hour later Riley walked inside her apartment getting ready for business. She put her suitcase at the dining table and would unpack it later. She walked over to her bedroom and opened up her closet. She couldn't charm her way into the docks with a dress so she would have to go with her normal clothes so would wear on the job. She stripped out of her jeans and black hoodie and grabbed some black stretch jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. She strapped her belt around her waist and secured her holsters with straps around her legs. She strapped her knife around her ankle and checked to see if it was secured. In her bathroom she pulled her hair up in a ponytail so it wouldn't get in her face. She grabbed a leather jacket from her closet and tucked her cell phone in one of the pouches hanging on her belt.

"Alright let's do this."

She said to herself as she grabbed a helmet from the floor near her front door. She walked downstairs quickly. When she was outside she walked into a nearby alley. Normally she would just take a cab but around this time traffic could be bad. She pulled the cover off of her motorcycle, got on it and revved her baby to life. After she pulled her helmet on she drove out into the busy streets of New York. It didn't take her to long to arrive at the docks. The sun had gone completely down and the dock was only illuminated by a few stray lights.

She parked her baby a few buildings away from the one she had to go in. She crept past a few buildings before she had sight of the building that was supposedly used for the human trafficking. A few guards were making rounds around the building, heavily armed. "Fuck me." She said quietly to herself. This was going to be a lot more work than she had thought. She saw one guard going to the back of the building. If she took that one out quietly she could smash in a window to enter the building. She slowly walked towards the building, keeping in the shadows and close to the wall.

She stopped in her tracks when she saw a car drive up the main entrance. Some guy in a fancy suit got out and thanked the driver. Must be one of their new clients to buy some innocent people, by the looks of it he seemed like a pimp. She made her way to the back of the building and saw that the guard was standing with his face against the wall taking a piss. Riley slowly grabbed some choke wire from one of the pouches on her belt and slowly moved behind him. The guard was taken off guard when Riley wrapped the wire around his neck and twisted it along with her whole body so she and the guard were standing back to back.

Riley pulled as hard as she could nearly having the whole weight of the guard on her back. When he stopped twitching she let go and his body fell to the ground with a soft thump. She looked inside through a dirty window and saw nobody inside. Using the backside of her gun she smashed the window as quietly as she could. Luckily for her lots of containers were being moved all around the docks so there was a lot of noise in the surrounding area. With her gun she pushed the pieces of glass away so she could climb inside without getting hurt.

The room she was in was empty apart from a table and a cabinet. She moved to the door and slowly opened it. She looked out into a long hallway with stairs that were going upstairs. With no guard in sight she stepped out into the hallway and stayed close to the wall as she walked towards the stairs. If she had learned one thing in her time as a mercenary it was that the important guys were always upstairs. She softly climbed the stairs with her gun ready. She had already put the silencer on it so if she had to shoot a guard it wouldn't draw too much attention. Upstairs it had the same layout.

A long hallway with doors to the sides that led to different rooms. Two doors at the end of the hallway indicated that it was probably the main conference room. Bad guys are always so predictable. She moved to the two doors when suddenly a door on the other side of the hallway opened up. Not knowing what would be on the other side Riley quickly opened up a door and stepped inside to hide before she was spotted by the person that was about to step into the hallway. The room she found herself in was pitch dark, small and she nearly fell over a broomstick.

Great must be a storage room for cleaning supplies. She tried to take another step backward and felt herself bump into a body. Before she could turn around and react, she felt an arm go around her waist that pushed her against him and a gloved hand was pressed up against her mouth. Her heart rate suddenly went through the roof. She tried to kick her assaulter but it was no use, he was a lot taller than her and had her pinned down.

"Shhh don't fight and be quiet or you're gonna sell us both out."

She recognized the voice even if it was just a whisper. Her back was pressed up against his chest so she couldn't move. When he felt her relax he slowly let her go.

"Deadpool? What the hell do you think you're doing?"

She whispered to him while turning around and smacking him across the chest. She tried to take a step back but nearly fell over the broomstick again so Deadpool quickly grabbed her and pulled her against him.

"Well, obviously I'm having a party in here. What do you think?"

He whispered back before putting a hand over her mouth again.

Dude be quiet or we're gonna get caught!

He could see two men walk past their door as their shadows showed under the door because of the lights in the hallway. She slapped his hand away when they no longer heard the footsteps.

"Will you stop doing that? I know when to be quiet. Don't tell me you have the same contract again." She said while rolling his eyes at him.

"I'm here for the pimp." He said while adjusting a strap around his leg.

Who you should have finished off at the restaurant.

"Good, I'm here for the one he is meeting. God, this space is small." She said while bumping into him again.

"So how are we doing this?" She said while pointing between the two of them.

"Well this space is small but I'm sure we can find a way."

Perv.

Deadpool said with a naughty smirk showing through his mask. Riley knew Deadpool was just trying to mess with her so she didn't let his perverted suggestion get to her. In fact, she decided to just play along to have some fun and see how he would react. She put one hand on his chest and leaned against him while letting her other hand roam to his lower regions.

"So you want to mix business with pleasure?" She said in a soothing voice.

Score! She totally wants us!

She could feel his body tense up, obviously, he hadn't expected her to react like this. He recovered soon enough though as he snaked his arm around her and landed his hand on her butt pushing her even closer against him.

"Oh baby, I'm all about the pleasure."

You're here for a contract. Stay focused!

Riley squeezed his junk and gave him a wink before moving her hand back up and over his shoulder. She took hold of one his katana's which he should have known if he wasn't so distracted.

"Then let's go kill these motherfuckers and take care of the business part first."

In one swift motion, she grabbed and unsheathed his katana turned around and kicked the door open. She used his katana to slice through a guard that was standing nearby and made her way to the big doors.

What just happened?

"I don't know, but I think I'm in love," Deadpool said to himself.

She has taken one of our katana's. Focus!

Deadpool shook his head to try and regain focus and repositioned his junk as best he could in his suit. That girl has given him a serious hard-on and that wasn't all too comfortable in the suit. He grabbed his one katana that was left and followed Riley out in the hallway. The two guards from earlier were already dropped to the ground and Riley was standing before the two large doors.

"You ready? Or are you gonna let me do all the work?" She said with a smirk while spinning his katana around.

"Let's do this."

He said while walking up to her and kicking one of the doors in. The two men inside didn't know what hit them. Three guards were assigned to protect them so the boss and the pimp duck down behind an overthrown table while they let the guards to the fighting for them. Such cowards. Riley and Deadpool worked together avoiding the bullets from the guards like they were dancing.

Riley drove her katana through one of the guard's legs causing him to fall to the ground. She kicked him hard in the face knocking him out while Deadpool covered her back making sure the other guards were too distracted to shoot at her. Deadpool sliced one of them across the chest causing him to fall back and black out. The other guard was about to shoot Deadpool in the back but Riley quickly grabbed her gun and ended him with a headshot.

"Nice shot," Deadpool said as he wiped his katana off on one of the guards.

Riley wasn't scared to get her hands a little bloody and Deadpool loved that. She's not like one of those other X-men pussies. Riley smiled at Deadpool and threw his katana back at him.

"Thanks for letting me wield your sword." She said with a wink.

She heard a noise come from behind the table where their two targets were hiding but as she turned around while grabbing her gun to point at the noise she heard a gun go off. Before she could register that the pimp had shot her, she felt an excruciating burning sensation in her shoulder.

"Fucking hell!"

She screamed out as she fell to the ground clutching her shoulder with her right hand. Deadpool wasted no time and emptied his gun on the pimp and boss hiding behind the table. Their blood was slowly making their way around the table so he knew they would be dead. Deadpool quickly focused his attention on Riley who was lying on the ground in pain.

"Are you okay? Why are you not healing?" He said as he helped her up and carried her to a chair.

"The bullet is in my shoulder." She said with a painful expression on her face.

"Fuck, you have to get it out so I can heal."

Riley was already tucking on her leather jacket to take it off but her left arm wouldn't move. Deadpool grabbed her sleeve and helped her take it off.

"I'm gonna have to rip your shirt."

He said as he studied the entry wound in her shoulder. Blood was seeping it out from it but he could already see that the tissue was trying to heal.

"Just hurry up and do it."

She said through gritted teeth and grabbed his shoulder to have something to hang to. Deadpool grabbed his dagger and sliced her shirt apart to get better access to the wound.

"Alright, this is gonna hurt like a motherfucker. Brace yourself."

He said right before he put his dagger in her shoulder to cut the bullet out. She gave a small scream when the dagger made its first cut but fell quiet after that and instead focused on squeezing the shit out of Deadpool's shoulder. The bullet fell to the ground with a loud clink sound.

"Oh thank god."

Riley said as she quickly put her right hand over the wound to speed up the healing.

"Well the name's Deadpool but I guess that works too."

He said with a smirk while getting to his feet and walking over to the dead guys behind the table.

"C'mon we still have to get the kills confirmed so we can get paid and get the hell out of here."

Riley pulled on her leather jacket and got up from the chair to snap a photo of her target. Deadpool really turned it into a bloodbath so she was careful with her footing. She quickly made a picture of her target and sent it to her contact. Both of their phones went off at the same time with the same message.

Kill confirmed. Money is transferred to your account.

Riley put her phone back into one of the pouches on her belt and watched Deadpool do the same.

"Let's get out of here."

Riley said as she stepped over a pool of blood when she walked towards the hallway. Deadpool quickly followed after her.

"Hey hang on, when do we get to the pleasure part?!"

Riley stopped dead in her tracks and Deadpool nearly bumped into her. She turned around so fast that Deadpool nearly didn't have time to react. She grabbed him by his shoulders and pushes him back into the storage room they were in before.

"What the..."

Deadpool let out as the door shut close behind them leaving them inside the dark room again.

"Shut up."

Riley said as held up her hand to signal him to be quiet. She heard a few guards come up the stairs and walking past where they were hiding.

"What the fuck happened here?! Spread out and let's find the motherfuckers who did this!"

They could hear the guards run past their door again as they stood in the storage room pressed up against each other.

"I like where this is going."

Deadpool whispered to Riley as he put one arm around her back and pressed her closer to him. Riley wasn't going to lie, she really had enjoyed herself with Deadpool and being in this small room with him together actually made her feel good. It made her feel wanted and not in the way those perverted businessmen usually made her feel. She decided to step out of her comfort zone for once and surprised herself at how bold she has gotten around Deadpool.

"Lift your mask up."

She whispered to him as she snaked her arms around his neck.

"You do get the whole secret identity thing I got going on right?"

He replied quietly to not draw any attention of the guards that were sweeping the building.

"Just lift it slightly then. We're in a dark closet anyways, dumbass. Unless you don't want this of course."

She whispered while grabbing one of his hands and putting it on her ass. He gave her ass a good squeeze and pressed her against his groin.

"You didn't think that was a gun against you right?" He said as he used his free hand to slightly lift his mask up to his nose.

"I was hoping it wasn't."

Riley pulled his head down and stood on her tippy toes to catch his lips with her own. She could feel the rough surface of his skin and his lips felt like they were chapped. It was the opposite of her own soft skin. He gave into her in a heartbeat and deepened the kiss, using his tongue to get Riley to give him access. The kiss was a bit sloppy but filled with passion. Deadpool grabbed Riley by her legs and threw them around his hips while pushing her back against the door. Riley was grinding against his groin and Deadpool was once again reminded at how uncomfortable his suit is when he is hard.

Riley broke the kiss to catch her breath as she leaned her head back against the door with a soft thump. Deadpool wasted no time to assault her neck with sloppy kisses while still moving his body against her. Deadpool loved the sound of the small moans Riley was making between pants.

"I could swear I heard something over here."

They stopped moving their bodies when they heard the guard talking just on the other side of the door. Riley let her legs fall back on the ground as Deadpool put his mask back in place.

"Guess its back to business."

Riley said as she grabbed one of Deadpool's katanas again and turned around to get ready to open the door. Deadpool grabbed his suit at his crotch and pulled on it a few times to get his junk to move into place. Riley looked at him while rolling her eyes.

"Seriously?" He shrugged his shoulders and grabbed his katana.

"What? The suit is killing me." Riley let out a laugh and put her hand on the door handle.

"Just get ready."

She swung the door open and saw the surprised look on the guard's face. Before he could cock his gun Riley had already sliced his arm so he would drop the gun. Deadpool took care of the other guard that stood further down the hallway. With an amazing jump, he drove his katana through the chest of the guard.

"Let's get out of here."

He said when he pulled his katana back and gestured for Riley to go down the stairs. Riley pulled Deadpool with her into the room she broke into so they could escape through the shattered window. When they were out they both ran a few blocks in the shadows of the buildings till Riley reached her motorcycle.

"This has to be my most interesting contract ever!"

Deadpool said when they came to a halt. She laughed at how enthusiastic Deadpool can get over killing some people and making out in a closet. Riley took a step towards Deadpool with his katana and leaned against his chest while putting his katana back on his back. She stood on her toes to give him a kiss on his masked cheek.

"Thanks for letting me play with your sword again."
