Chapter 4: The Aftermath
Ok to keep this short and sweet and get to our lovely ending a tiny bit shorter (and no this is not the final chapter, so calm down and breath) i'm gonna sum up what happened to our lovely little team. Well first after Jimmy left the team fell apart one person after the next. Bradly couldn't take it anymore and took a stand for himself and left to go join the circus why i don't know but whateva makes him tick. Then the biggest blow to me at least was when Wraith left with Fred. I mean after Jimmy the next closetest person to me was Wraith. I was pissed at first but then understood why, i mean we were hunting our own, mutants. It was hard for me over half the time, we took kids in, even killed some because Stryker labeled them dangerous, but aren't we the ones who are dangerous? With every loss,Victor became more angry and bitter (Yes i didn't think that was possible either but trust me it is. For example one day i tripped him by accident and yes it was a accident and ripped my faced from forehead to chin, boy that bastard is lucky i regenerate or i would've been pissed off more.) Then Stryker wouldn't let anyone else leave unless they were in a body bag so ya i stuck around but were else did i have to go, my family is dead and my weapons guy probably got himself killed hacking something or another geeky thing (I really hope someone can pick up on that foreshadowing, cause if not thats gonna make me...laugh.) so ya i'm stuck here.
"Hey pumpkin watcha doin?" Wade said walking up to me since i was standing in the middle of our training room.
"Thinking on how fucked up (NO! swearing in front of the kids reading this! Wade shut up please i really don't have the energy for this.) Things have been around here Victor is always out while where stuck inside this metal box called a home, it just feels like something bad is going to happen."
"Like what? I mean come on nothing worse can happen and besides we still got each other." he said with a corny smile in his face.
"Wade we aren't not in a soap opera so stop."
"Can you promise me somthing?"
"No Wade i will not bear your children i told you a thousand times its never going to happen."
"Oooo your words have a little sting to them babe, but i'm serious." He said and his smile completely disapeared form his face and it actually scared me. he really hasn't been acting like himself lately, and hes getting paler everyday, and i'll admit it scares me.
"Promise me if something bad happens you'll leave, run away and won't look back." He said while stepping closer to me.
"Wade whats gotten into you? Why would something bad happen to the self proclaimed Merc with the Mouth?"
"I...I... just promise me."
"I promise." God you got to love those words.
"Now tell me why."
"Well you see when a man and women love each other very much..."
"Wade" I said slowly.
"Whens the last time you were out in the moon light?"
"What!"
"Ya know that thing were you said you needed the light from it to be at full power."
"Nice subject change and told you not to talk about that out loud."
"Talk about what Ms. Star?" Stryker said coming in through the door, doesn't he have impeckable timing or what?
"She was just telling me not to talk about the hott sex we had last night, i mean i'm surprised old Vikkie didn't wake up after all the racket we made."
I just smiled, i usually would glue him to the cieling by now but hes growing on me and fast, damn Jimmy for being all knowing.
"Funny Wade, now i need to see you for some more test so come Wade."
"Wait what tests?"
"Just routine checkup stuff pumpkin." He said winking at me.
"Mmmmhmm."
After they left i went back to training until, which has been harder to do since my power level is at an all time low. One of Strkers assistants came in. "Sorry to interrupt Ms. Star but we need you to collect more powers from the captives."
"Shocking." Ya good old Stryker has been useing more for his lab rat, and he has something big planned for all the powers i'm sucking up and now with Wade getting his "check ups" i'm worried were this is going.
"So who am i sucking up today another kid with laser eyes, or how bout diamond girl? Or or even better yet that speedy guy?"
"No today your borrowing the powers of a mister Remy LeBeau, he can make any object he totches explode."
"Ooo thats new."
"Well hes right in.."
"Were you put all the other ones i know the drill by now."
I walked in to the room and was surprised to find a very handsome man sitting in the dreaded chair of doom.
"Hey there bub, you alright?"
"Ah didn't expect such a bueaty would be found in this aweful place." He said with a french accent, and a heavy one at that, but what i noticed the most was his red eyes otlined with black. I mean this guy gave Wade a run for his money and Wade is pretty good oh god...not again!
"Ya um well this is gonna be akward but i'm here to um take some of your powers then i'll be gone."
"Well i always liked a woman with a sense of direction and was to the point."
"Ya this will only..um..tingle for a little." I said as i touched his shoulder or what i thought was going to be his shoulder, he moved so i would touch his cheek. an you know what sucks! When i'm taking power i can't move so guess what! i was stuck there. When i was done i just glared at him and smiled.
"Well were done here." I stepped in so i could wisper to him. "The guard you have always keeps his back to the cell he watches, i'm sure you could get the key and ya know leave."
"Well chere if i didn't know any better i would say you like me."
"Only a little, and i'm tired of hurting people so goo!"
"Many thanks chere, hope to see you again."
I walked back to our little living room area only to find Wade lying on the floor not moving.
"WADE!" i screamed and ran to him and shook him still nothing.
"Wade you asshole wake up please! Don't leave me alone with Victor and Stryker. please!"
He still didn't i looked at his lips, ya i know stupid dumb and every other word possible but hey give me a break cause guess what? I like him! OK i caved yet again i like him! So you know what i did i kissed him. Ya thats right be jealous.
"Wow pumpkin whats with all the noise and that amazing kiss?"
"You mean you weren't on the verge of death?"
"Nope just on the verge of this awesome dream were there were these three hott girls and i was no bad guy these my bitches not yours and then i was like..." I kissed him...again.
And then made out with him and then felt his awesomely ripped abs as we rolled around on the ground for a bit and then i stopped before i couldn't.
"Ummm wow this is totally better than that awesome almost dream."
"Wade?"
"Ya pumpk...in?"
"What whats wrong?"
"Your eyes are red and black."
"Ohhhh ya another mutant another day."
"Your are right this is fucked up."
"Look who needs to watch there mouth now. Wade tell me whats wrong with you."
"What?"
"Just tell me."
"Well to make it simple i have cancer."
"You what?"
"I have cancer."
Great i finally admit i like him and now hes gonna die.
"Thats why i joined, i was promised life." i just looked at him with puppy eyes.
"Hey now pumpkin don't get all sad on me, thats why i didn't tell you."
"What to keep me from getting sad?"
"Yup." he really seemed sure that Stryker would fix him but well read the next sentence and find out what i think.
"Hes useing me for something what i don't know but i think it involves you, and i can't keep this up much longer, my power is dying." i said looking down.
"You need the moon thing huh?" he said as he put his hand on my chin to make me look at him.
"Ya." i said and bent down and gave him a peck on the lips, since i was sitting on his stomach.
"Explain that to me."he looked up and gave me puppy dog eyes."Pretty please."
"Well when i ran from my parents murders i was on the verge of death and was pretty much a grape popcicle, there was a full moon out and i looked at it because well i'm gonna sound crazy."
"You are crazy."
"Thanks but something told me to look up and presto i was healedo."
"Thats it."
"Yup."
"Cool how bout we go out sometime and look at the moon."
"Sure thing Wade." I said as he cuddled with me on the floor and we fell asleep like that, until the next morning when i wish i never would have woken up, as always cause my mornings can never be peaceful...
Well this story will be done soon but yes there will be a sequel and i know the moon thing is sketchy but hopefully it will make sense later. Till then thanks for the love and reveiws are welcome and if not i set Star on you and you be stuck to the cieling forever... and i suck at Gambit's accent so please be nice...
