Chapter Ten

As I walk back into the main room, I can see that Thor has given up trying to beat Clint in a game of Call of Duty. I chuckle at that thought, before looking around for a moment. Black Panther, as usual, is evading my vision. Must be in the shadows somewhere. I shrug and sit down on the couch.

"Where's Mandy?" I ask, glancing around.

"Training with Nat again." Hawkeye replies.

"Funny, how she gets trained and I just sort of have to figure my stuff out." I mutter, crossing my arms.

"Well, you seem to have pretty decent control over your abilities. Not to mention that none of us have techno powers." Tony explains.

"Good point," I sigh, "By the way, Tony, do you know anyone named Deadpool?" I ask after a moment.

"You mean the crazy guy in a red jumpsuit always yelling 'chimichangas'?" Tony replies. I nod. "Yeah, I know him. We worked on a case together once. The guy is insane to say the least." Tony explains. "Why?" He asks.

"Because…okay, well, I don't want to spook you guys or anything, but in a spin off series of your comic books back in my world, Deadpool ended up killing you guys." I explain. "And the Fantastic Four. And the X-Men. And I think the Guardians of the Galaxy too." I sigh.

"Whoa." Hawkeye mutters.

"See, the thing is, I'm kind of realizing that there are a lot of Marvel universes out there with really tight similarities but really small differences. So saying for sure what version of your universe we're in Is pretty impossible at this point. According to Rule 63, we can't be in a gender swapped universe, so that's a good thing." I sigh.

"Rule 63?" Hawkeye arches a brow.

"It's a rule back in my world that's sort of like common law." I explain.

"What is it?" Tony asks.

"Rule 63 is a big fat law that's all about comics 'n stuff. If I can remember right, it goes along the lines of 'for every male character, there is a female counterpart. For every female character, there is a male counterpart.' All comic books have to follow that rule and, once a year, put in an entry for the Grand High Blood. Whoever gets the lowest score out of 63 gets their comic destroyed, they're franchise ruined, and bad luck put on them until they can make a suitable reboot for the series." I explain.

"Grand Ruler..?" Tony mutters.

"Yeah. He's a giant zebra who kind of rules over us. I guess you guys don't have him here." I chuckle, shrugging. Tony gives the rest of the Avengers quizzical looks, before turning back to me.

"What is it with you and zebras?" He asks after a moment.

"They're better than regular horses." I reply. "Regular horses only choose one color, but zebras? Nah, zebras go 'fuck that noise' and choose TWO colors. They're like the Terminator Horses." I explain.

"Terminator Horses." Tony sighs, letting out a laugh.

"Hey, they're serious business!" I cross my arms, but can't help but smile. Something tells me that it's going to be a pretty fun day.

So there's Sara passing the torch over to me for the time being. I watched all of Daredevil yesterday, and anyone who hasn't seen it, GO WATCH IT. IT'S AMAZING. This was my first time having anything to do with Daredevil, and I am extremely impressed. He will most definitely find a way into this. I will find a way. I already have it planned out... Anyway, don't forget to review!
