Strangers

by Gabby D

Nathan ends up dragged into playing an online game by Neena, who for some reason decided that teaching him the basic wasn't her job, and ends up trying to understand all of it all by himself only to find out that he sucks at it. Then enters Wade, or CaptainDeadpool, an experienced player who really was just bored and took a liking out of Nathan. AU
