The idea for this came from catsandorchids, so thanks for sparking it. My internet has been down so I wasn't able to post anything but I should have the next chapter out soon. I hope you like this one, it took forever and I'm still not quite happy with it. Please let me know what you think, thanks for reading! =D
I woke up with a headache. Dizzy, I made a move to get up but I found that I couldn't, my hands were tied behind my back and my feet were tied the chair I was sitting in. What was going on? Confused I blinked in an effort to clear my vision, slowly my surroundings came into focus. I was in the middle of a dirty looking storeroom, lit by a bare light bulb hanging from the ceiling. I think I'd been drugged, trying not to panic I wondered how I got here. I tried to remember what had happened before I blacked out.
I was on my way home from the convenience store, Thor was visiting and he had eaten all the pop tarts. Tony was driving me crazy so I volunteered to go get some more. It took some convincing but they let me go by myself, it was getting dark so I promised to hurry. Getting there and grabbing some blueberry (specifically requested by Thor) pop tarts took no time at all, I was on the way back to the tower when someone grabbed me and then it was black.
I had been kidnapped!
Realizing my situation I started to struggle, trying to get out of my bindings.
"Finally you're awake! Oh I wouldn't bother those aren't coming untied."
I jerked my head up to see who was there,Okay only making myself dizzy.
"Who are you and what do you want?!"
Suddenly there was a red and black masked face merely inches from mine. I shrieked and tried to pull back, but my momentum tipped the chair backwards. I would have fallen backwards if the unknown red and black clad person hadn't caught me.
"Easy there, what's your name hot stuff?"
I glared at him, well I'm assuming he was a he.
"I asked you first. What do you want with me?"
I got the feeling he was grinning at me.
"Sorry kitten, can't tell you that, bosses orders."
Completely ignoring the fact he had been hired to kidnap me, I focused on what I had just been called.
"Excuse me? Did you just call me kitten?"
Going by his attire, the guy in front of me was some kind of assassin and he also couldn't seem to stay still.
"You don't miss a thing do you? Kitten, that's what I'm gonna call you."
"Why?"
I got the sense he was grinning at me.
"Because you're a firecracker and black cats are a type of firework. I can't call you Black Cat, that's already taken, so kitten it is."
Mind reeling at his absurd logic, I shook my head trying to think of how to get out of this situation.
"Look mister, I-"
"Deadpool, Wade Wilson, the Merc with the mouth. Take your pick."
"Wade then, why am I here?"
He jumped up and struck a pose, much like the Thinker.
"That is the question, isn't it? What's so special about you? Why don't you tell me because I get bored easy and you don't want me to get bored, people tend to die when I'm bored."
I felt a wave of fear rush through me, this guy was crazy!
"W-well my name is An-"
"Kitten, your name is kitten."
Looking at all the dangerous equipment he had on him I decided I could live with kitten.
"C'mon let's get to know each other, then we can be BFF's!"
A thought suddenly came to me, maybe I could scare him into letting me go.
"Alright, I have an extended family. Both of my little brothers are scientists, so is my dad."
"Do they make things explode? I like things that explode."
I rolled my eyes.
"It's a surprise when something doesn't explode."
I watched as he started playing with the twin blades that were on his back.
"And my boyfriend was in the army, he's probably worried sick."
He looked up and clasped his hands under his chin.
"Aww, do you loooove him?"
No matter the situation, thinking about Steve would make me blush.
"Kitten and army boy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G."
"Hey cut it out!"
"Why? Do you want to be kissing somebody else?"
Even though he had a mask on, I could feel his eyes on me.
"No!"
"All the ladies love Deadpool, well the ones that are still alive that is."
I glared at him.
"Look Wade, I just want to go home."
He scratched his chin.
"Lemme think about that…no."
"You know they are probably going to come looking for me and you don't want to make them mad, believe me. Maybe you should let me go."
He scoffed.
"A couple of nerd brothers and your army boyfriend isn't gonna make me let you go. When I get paid is when this is over, you're hot so I don't really want to kill you but I'm no babysitter. And I'm getting bored."
I started to panic.
"Wait! Can I least know who paid you to do this?"
"I haven't been paid yet, but sure not like you can tell anybody. Some crazy rich girl said you were in the way, of what I don't know."
Trying to think of who he was talking about, I gasped when it hit me.
"What did she look like?"
He raised a hand in the air.
"About yea high, bottle blonde, kinda slutty looking."
I suppressed a scream of rage. That scank!
"What's up pussycat, you know who it is?"
"Yes, Tanya Anderson. Brattiest socialite in New York, she had it out for me because she thought I wasn't good enough for Steve. She always gets what she wants and I guess she wanted Steve."
"Your boyfriend?"
"Yeah, he turned her down before we started going out. But I had no idea she would do something like this."
"Hmmm, you're right that is pretty crazy, and I know crazy."
I looked up at him hopefully.
"So you'll let me go?"
For a second I thought he might do it.
"Sorry kitten, I've still got to get paid. But if she doesn't come through soon well…"
Grasping at straws I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
"What if I could double what she's paying you?"
His head snapped around.
"What did you say?"
"How much? I can double it."
I swear I could see his expressions through the mask.
"No way you have access to that kind of money."
Drawing on courage I didn't know I had, I smirked at him.
"Try me."
I shivered as he pulled out a knife and started twirling it in his hand.
"Two million, if you could double that then we might be in business. But if you're lying to me, well nobody who does that lives very long."
I thanked all that was holy that I was paying attention to Tasha when she was teaching me how to keep calm in tight situations. If I could keep this up I might get out of here alive.
"I never told you who my brother was."
"And here I thought we were BFF's."
I sighed, trying not to glare at him.
"I'm Tony Stark's sister, I'm sure he will pay you anything you want."
He stopped playing with the knife and just stared at me.
"Tony Stark doesn't have a sister, you're lying! And I told you what happens to liars."
"No, I'm not! I'm his sister I promise!"
Walking forward, holding the knife menacingly I closed my eyes. Before he could do anything though, my phone rang blaring Iron Man. It was Tony!
"See that's him now! Just let me answer it."
"I don't think so."
In the blink of an eye he had darted forward and grabbed my phone, which was sitting on a table plugged into a strange looking device. Then just as fast he stuffed an old rag in my mouth.
"Mmff!"
"Hold that thought, I have a call."
He slid the bar to accept the call.
"Where are you Lisey? Capsicle is driving me crazy, he's freaking out. It's been two and half hours, it doesn't take that long to get Pop Tarts. Will you hurry up and get back here?"
I must have left the speaker phone on from my last call.
"Sorry she's a bit tied up at the moment. Haha, tied up, that's funny."
All the chatter in the background halted, he must be on speaker phone too.
"Who are you and where is my sister?"
Tony sounded furious! I'd never heard him this mad.
"You're Tony Stark?"
"Yeah and Iron Man. Where is she?!"
He looked over at me.
"Huh, I guess you are related to Tony Stark."
I rolled my eyes.
"Well she's right here with me, nothing to worry about."
I could hear scuffling and it sounded like the phone was dropped.
"Anna are you alright?!"
It was Steve, he sounded so worried.
"Kitten can't come to the phone right now but can I take a message?
"Bruce keep calm, you can't help Anna if you get mad. Let me speak to Anna."
Tasha, she would know what to do.
"Why should I do that?"
I glared at him.
"Because you could have just stolen her phone."
He crossed his arms in a pouty manner.
"Stealing a phone? Way too low profile for me. Say hi kitten."
The rag was ripped out of my mouth.
"I'm okay, don't worry."
There was a strangled noise on the other end.
"I'm going to get you out of there Lisey."
"I demand you release Lady Anna!"
Oh, Thor must feel awful, he was the reason I went out in the first place.
Before I could reply, the rag was stuffed back in my mouth.
"Mmff!"
"Alright that's enough chit-chat, let's get down to the money. Missy here told me you would double what I was offered in the first place. That's four mill-"
"Someone put a hit on her!?"
"Tony don't interrupt the kidnapper! Continue."
"Your sexy sounding friend is right, you shouldn't interrupt."
If I could've I would have laughed, if she were here Tasha would bash his face in for saying that. Or Clint would do it.
"As I was saying, I want four million in an off-shore account in one hour."
There was complete silence for a second, until Clint broke it.
"If it's not there in an hour?"
The sound of knives grating against on another answered him.
"Well, I would hate to kill such a knockout but I've got a living to make."
The sound of something breaking could be heard.
"Bruce no! You have to calm down!"
If Bruce hulks out now, he's gonna tear the city apart. Trying to get Wade's attention I started wiggling back and forth in the chair. It worked, he sighed and pulled out the rag again.
"Geez tell him to calm down would you?"
"Dad, it's me I'm fine. Don't go green on me."
The crashing sound stopped, only heavy breathing was heard.
"What do you have against recycling?"
I glared at the red and black clad man.
"Anna, sweetheart are you alright?"
"I'm fine dad."
He sighed and I heard the phone changing hands again.
"Are you hurt?"
Deadpool scoffed.
"Hurt a lady, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"A crazed psychopath!"
"Tony don't antagonize him!"
I rolled my eyes, it was almost like they were here, but with me tied to a chair and a crazy mercenary. Fun times, fun times.
I glanced down, the rope around my ankles was beginning to cut off circulation and my arms were aching from being in the same position for so long. I'm no crybaby but the severity of the situation was getting to me, I could feel my eyes watering. I sniffed, trying my hardest not to cry, it wouldn't do for them to hear me crying. Unfortunately Deadpool noticed my struggle, so he interrupted the squabbling Avengers.
"While this has been fun and all I'm gonna have to call you back. Oh and don't bother trying to trace the call, if you do all you're gonna find is an empty piñata factory in Jersey. Buh-bye."
"Wai-"
He hung up, just like that. He must have muted it because I could see it vibrating with another call. I looked up at him in shock as he moved closer, what was he doing now?
"What are you doing?"
I swear he was rolling his eyes at me.
"What does it look like?"
He bent down and loosened the rope binding my ankles, after running his hand across my leg of course.
"Watch the hands!"
He started snickering.
"Sorry, couldn't help myself."
I shook my head, I guess I should have expected it.
"Thanks, my feet were going numb."
His head jerked up to look at me
"What did you say?"
I bit my lip, confused.
"Uh, thank you? The circulation was getting cut off, so thanks…"
He sat in the only other chair (or piece of furniture other than the rickety looking table) in the room and just stared at me. His gaze was starting to make me uncomfortable so I just as I was about to say something stupid he got up and crouched down so we were eye to eye. Er, mask.
"I like you."
I blinked, not understanding.
"Huh?"
"I like you kitten."
I furrowed my brow.
"You like me? What do you mean?"
Then I frowned.
"I already told you Wade, I have a boyfriend."
He chuckled and shook his head.
"Just what I said, I like you, not as much as chimichangas. I don't like anything more than those. But you're alright, I mean come on your brother is Iron Man. How cool is that?"
Just then my phone buzzed. He picked it up and grinned, well I think he did.
"Looks like I'm four million richer, time to go."
I felt my lips curve up, I was going home!
"Where do you live?"
"What?"
He sighed.
"I gotta know where to drop you off."
"Oh, sure. Stark Tower."
While I was distracted with thoughts of my family, Wade was digging through one of the many pockets in his suit.
"Well it's been fun."
Before I knew what was happening he had shoved a sweet smelling rag to my face covering my mouth and nose.
"Hey!"
"Shh, shh; calm down. It's easier this way."
I tried to resist, but whatever was on the rag (chloroform I'm assuming) started to take effect. Everything got blurry and my eyes started to droop, but before I blacked out I heard Wade say something to me.
"See you around kitten."
I woke up to the sound of New York traffic, opening my eyes I saw that I was no longer tied to a chair but laying on a bench and the bag of Pop Tarts was in my lap. I rubbed my wrists, both of them raw from the rope. Sitting up I realized I was right in front of the tower, I made a move to get up but I was still dizzy from being knocked out so I pitched forward.
"Hey Anna!"
Looking up I saw a tall lanky kid on a skateboard coming towards me. Peter, thank god! I pulled myself up and gave him a wobbly smile still feeling a little loopy.
"A little help here?"
A frown on his face, he rushed over and helped me up.
"What happened? I've tried calling you, I even called Tony but no one was answering. I got worried so I decided to come over and see if you were alright."
I know I must have looked awful, so I tried to unconsciously straighten my dress and hair.
"It kind of a long story, I'll tell you when we get inside."
Trying to head for the tower doors, I stepped forward but swayed still feeling the effects of whatever it was Wade drugged me with. Peter put a hand on my shoulder.
"Whoa, you look like you're about to pass out! Here, let me help."
He grabbed the bag from me.
"No, its fine I ca-"
Cutting me off he scooped me up in his arms bridal style and proceeded to carry me inside despite my protests. The second we stepped inside J.A.R.V.I.S. announced our arrival.
"Sir, Miss Anna is in the lobby along with Mister Parker."
I smiled, glad to hear my favorite A.I. Peter looked worried as I yawned completely worn out from all that had gone on.
"Hey stay awake, don't pass out on me."
I blinked, trying to remain conscious.
"Sorry, I've had a tiring night."
It was less than a minute later when everyone came pouring out of the elevator.
"Oh my god! Lisey are you okay?!"
I looked up into frantic brown eyes.
'Never better T. Peter let me down."
He looked uncertain, but set me down. Only for another pair of arms that I would know anywhere to pick me up.
"Steve, it's alright. I'm fine."
He just held me, not saying anything.
I looked into his pretty blue eyes and smiled, all inhibitions gone. Must be a side effect.
"God you have the bluest eyes."
"Um, Steve if you could…I need to make sure she's okay."
"Oh, yeah sure."
Gingerly he put me down, only for my knees to buckle.
"Here sit down, before you hurt yourself."
I sank onto the bench behind me with a sigh. I started rubbing my wrists again, my skin stinging.
"Let me see Anna."
Bruce grabbed my hands, looking them over with a professional eye. The longer he looked the more upset he got, his face was tinted green by the time he was done. I put my hand to his cheek.
"Dad, its fine, I'm fine."
A ghost of a smile appeared on his face.
"I guess you are."
He turned to look at the others.
"She a bit out of it, I think he used Chloroform on her."
Peter who was getting more and more confused spoke up.
"What is going on? What happened?"
Everyone looked at me expectantly.
"I was kidnapped by a crazy mercenary named Deadpool. He called me kitten."
Clint and Tasha who had been silent so far both exploded.
"WHAT?!"
I frowned.
"He said his name wa-"
Clint cut me off.
"Wade Wilson is the most insane gun for hire on the market. He didn't hurt you did he?"
"No, he didn't hurt me. He did hit on me and try to cop a feel, but besides that…"
Thor who had also been quiet, spoke up.
"This man hit you?!"
I quickly shook my head.
"No, no he didn't hit me. He just um, flirted with me."
"Oh and what does 'cop a feel' mean?"
I blushed and looked down.
"Uh, well it means…Tony you want to take this one?"
His face was a cross between furious and amused.
"I think you've got it covered."
I scowled at him.
"Um, it's when uh… He just touched my leg when he was loosening the rope around my ankles, that's all!"
Clint and Tasha seemed a bit relived that that was all he did, but everyone else looked livid. Trying to do damage control I attempted to make it better.
"Hey, he was more annoying than anything else. He wouldn't shut up really."
Before anyone could say anything else I yawned again. Bruce smiled at me.
"I think we can go over everything tomorrow, Anna needs to sleep it off."
As I began to object, Clint who was right behind me rolled his eyes.
"That's enough kid, it's been a tiring night for all of us. Come on."
He picked me up and with a look from Steve handed me over. Then everyone squeezed into the elevator and the last thing I heard before passing out was Steve whispering in my ear.
"Don't ever do this to me again Anna."
The next morning I woke up in my bed, feeling much better. If I didn't know better, last night was only a bad dream. Deciding to put it behind me, I got up and started getting dressed. I stopped in my tracks when I saw something strange on my bedside table.
It was a folded red piece of paper.
With trembling hands I unfolded it, revealing a note written in black crayon.
"Dear Kitten,
Be seeing you soon. Shh, our little secret.
Your Friend Deadpool"
Let me just apologize now, I tried my best with Deadpool but he is so hard to write. So if its terrible oh well.
