The Avengers were suited-up and prepared to leave. Iron-Man stomped in – his metal boots echoing of the concrete hangar. He lifted his face plate and said

"Okay – I've just remembered that Pete's suit has a tracker linked to my suit – in order that I could find him in an emergency" the rest of the Avengers look a little wary

"Does Pete know?" asks Steve

"I don't think so" Tony said unsure

"Isn't that a little underhanded?" Steve remarked

"I only use it in emergencies, besides, I think Pete will thank me once we alert him to the Super-Unknown and get MJ to safety" Tony justified

"Don't count on dat" Cage remarked

"Excuse me" said Tony

"Well, ya 'bout ta ruin his date wiv MJ – don't expect him ta say - thank ya Iron-Man for destroying mah date wiv ma wife" Cage pointed out facetiously. Tony smiled, then opened his left arm's control panel, pressed a few buttons and linked his Iron-Suit to the Iron-Spidey suit. He furrowed his brow

"What is it Tony?" Steve inquired

"This cannot be right" Tony stated puzzled "It's telling me the suit is here, in the tower"

"Seems Pete was serious 'bout no Spider-Man t'day" Cage remarked

"I'll go get it!" Deadpool offered

"Okay. I have a feeling he's going to need it" Tony said with a hint of humour. Deadpool rushed off to Pete and MJ's room. He slowly opened the door and tip-toed in careful not to disturb anything. He spotted the suit hanging on the back of a chair and headed to it resisting the urge to grab a pair of MJ's underwear as he went by. He picked up the suit and hurried back to the hangar. Everyone except Iron-Man got into the Quinjet, Iron-Man pulled down his faceplate and linked to the Quinjet communication channels

"Checking Comms" Iron-Man said

"We read you Tony, over" said Steve

"Okay. Good. We will find Pete or the Super-Unknown quicker if we split up" Iron-Man suggested. And so, The Avengers set off in search of the Super-Unknown and Pete.

Meanwhile. In a mid-town New York diner Pete sits back in his chair patting his stomach

"Hoo boy, I'm stuffed" Pete declared

"Hope you left room for your dessert, Tiger" MJ said with a seductive smile on her face

"Always MJ" Pete replied with a smile, suddenly, his face went blank, much to the horror of MJ

"What is it?" she asked concernedly

"I – I don't know. It felt like -" Pete began, but screams from outside the diner made him stop and look out the window – a massive black symbiotic monster was charging toward him – instinctively, he leapt over the table and grabbed MJ – cradling her in his arms, shielding her from the glass as the symbiote smashed through the window. Pete twisted his body so that he hit the diner floor and cushioned the fall for MJ before rolling her over "MJ, stay down" he said before springing to his feet to face the symbiote. He looked it over as it knocked civilians out of it's way in disgust. The symbiote was 9ft tall, a mass of muscle and was black in colour with white markings, though they were not in a spider emblem. It had a hideous smile that dominated it's face, in contrast, it's eyes held sadness not malice. It looked like a larger, muscular Venom

"Venom?" Pete asked feeling a little foolish, the symbiote snarled in contempt at him

"NOoo! WEee aaarre AnguiiiiSH" it replied in that creepy double voice

"Oh great! ANOTHER crazy symbiote. Just what I need" Pete said sarcastically (Spidey Internal Monologue) "Great! The one day – ONEDAY - I take off and a new freakin' symbiote appears. Someone up there hates me. Am I to be continually punished until I die? I mean what have I done to deserve this? Whatever it is I'm sorry. Truly I am"

"SEE! I knew this would happen!" MJ proclaimed in contempt, Pete looked down over his shoulder at MJ and threw her a stern look

"Not now MJ!" he pleaded assertively

"WEee wiiill KIIIILL yOoou ParkEeer" spat Anguish menacingly, Pete returned his focus to Anguish

"Yeah. Well, Venom and Carnage have already tried" Pete looks himself over and throws open his arms "Oh look – I'm still here" he mocked

"Theeey weeerre WEAK" Anguish sneered "Ouuur HATE iSss ssStrooongeeer, due to yeeearsss of imprisssonment paaain, tortuuure and ssSufferiiing at the haandsss of ssSHIELD"

"Then shouldn't you be trying to kill THEM?" Pete suggested

"Aaall in good tiiime ParkEeer. Firssst thingsss fiiirssst" Anguish readied itself, Pete had noted people trying to escape and tried stalling for time

"What makes you think you can beat me" Pete challenged

"Becaussse ssSHIELD gave USss poweeersss; WEee are ssStrongeeer than Hulk, heeeal betteeer than Wolveeerine, have electric capabiiilitiesss and WEee can ssSyphon poweeersss like that X-Maaan Rooogue – not to mentiooon, doooo anything a spideeer caaan HAha HAha HAaah!" Anguish revealed, Pete was gob-smacked, he looked over his shoulder at MJ

"MJ! Get outta here and call The Avengers" he said, MJ nodded and scrambled to her feet and ran out of the diner, Anguish watched her leave but didn't try to stop her. Pete looked around, noting that fighting in the diner would cause civilian casualties "Okay 'Anguish' waddya say we take this outside?"

"WEee will Allooow you to choooossse your graaave, ParkEeer" Anguish replied. Pete leapt outside and up onto the wall of an opposing building.

Meanwhile. Iron-Man is flying through the skies of Manhattan searching for any sign of Pete and/or Super-Unknown when his suit receives a call on the emergency number

"Hello" Iron-Man said curiously

"Tony! This is MJ. You've got to come quick, Pete's in trouble, it looks like Venom but bigger and he's attacking Pete now" MJ explained panicked

"Okay, okay. MJ, calm down. Me and The Avengers are on the way. Just stay in a safe place, okay?" Iron-Man said reassuringly

"Please. Hurry" MJ pleaded. Iron-Man, using his HUD computer integrated into his suit, tracked MJ's location via her mobile (cell if your American) phone. Iron-Man contacted the Quinjet

"Hello anyone read me?" he asked

"... Tony. It's Steve, over" came the reply

"MJ phoned. The S-U has engaged with Pete, I'm sending the co-ordinates to the Quinjet" Iron-Man reported

"... The what? Over"

"The Super-Unknown. I'm using S-U now, 'cause it's easier"

"... Roger that Tony, over"

"Steve. Seriously - you don't need to say 'over' every time you respond"

"... actually I do. It allows you to know when I've finished talking. Unlike someone else using this comm channel, over" Steve informs. Iron-Man sighs

"Okay Steve. I'll see you at the S-U's location" he replied "OVER" he added with sarcasm. They head to co-ordinates.

Anguish lunges at Pete, who flips over Anguish and kicks it in the back of the head as he does so. Pete lands in a crouched position, Anguish turns round only to receive a ball of webbing in the eyes

"I dooon't have to ssSee yooou to hit yooou. I haaave the animal ssSensssesss of Wolveeeriiine – I can ssSmeeell yooou HAha HAha HAha HAaAh!" Anguish mocked

(Spidey Internal Monologue) " Man, here we go again. A crazy symbiote wants to kill me and innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire. And if what it says is true, then it is some sorta super strong, resilient, electrical, vampire with the added bonus of a symbiote giving it MY powers, which – wait! Symbiote! THAT'SIT!! A symbiote, he'll have the same weaknesses as Venom, sound vibrations and fire hahahaha"

Pete kept dodging Anguish as best he could without his Spider-Sense to aid him because the symbiote doesn't trigger it. While he did so, he tried to figure out the best place to take the fight and which method of defeating Anguish would be. Suddenly Pete noticed film crews and people with their damn iPhones and quickly made a web-mask to shield his face. Anguish removed the webbing from his eyes and noticed Spidey was busy making a web-mask, he took the opportunity to throw electricity at Spidey. Spidey barely managed to escape the blast, seriously regretting not bringing his Iron-Spidey suit – which was insulated and fireproof. Iron-Man arrived on scene

"IRON-MAN! Thank God your here!" Spidey said with relief, landing on the side of a nearby building

"Thanks should go to MJ. She made the call" replied Iron-Man. God I love that woman thought Spidey "So THIS is the S-U then" Iron-Man assumed, pointing to Anguish

"S-U?"

"Long story. It was created by SHIELD and is referred to as Super-Unknown" Iron-Man explained

"Aaa-ctually, it refers to itself as Anguish" Spidey corrected, looking at Anguish

"What? It talks?!" questioned Iron-Man in shock because the last Unknown only growled. And as if to confirm what Spidey had said

"GET OooUT OF HEeeRE IRON-MAaaN!" bellowed Anguish "THISss ISss NOT YOUR FIiiGHT!"

"Sorry, but Spider-Man is an Avenger now – that makes this my fight!"

"GAAAAH! ssSOoo BEee IIIT!"

Iron-Man blasted Anguish with his ion re-pulser palm blasters – with little effect. Spidey began to rescue injured civilians from the diner and clear the gathering crowd back. Spidey (once satisfied) turned his attention back to Anguish

"Pleeease tell me the rest of The Avengers are coming – right?" Spidey whined

"They'll be here," Iron-Man confirmed "and so will SHIELD"

"SHIELD! Oh great" Pete said sarcastically

"Yooou'll be deeead before they ariiive heh heh heh" Anguish threatened

"Really? Seems to me that this will end the way it AAAALWAYS ends" Spidey mocked

"WHAaaT?!" Anguish responded confused. Spidey worked his way up to and latched onto Iron-Man

"I'll hold him off while you get something explosive" Spidey whispered in suggestion, Iron-Man understood, Spidey knows all about dealing with symbiotes and excepted his judgement and left to get something explosive. Spidey landed down on the street with fists clenched

"AaaaHHhh gOOood, you convinced him to leEeave" Anguish said in delight

"For now" Spidey retorted. Anguish web-shot at Spidey, who dodged it and went in for a strike but – Anguish caught him in the chest with a punch and sent Spidey flying into a nearby building

"HAaa HAaa HAaa HAaaH! WEee will dOoo what our brothersss couldn't – WEee will KIiiLLssSPIDEeeR-MAaaN!" Anguish claimed victoriously

"GET UP SPIDEY!" a citizen shouted

"C'MON MAN!" a second citizen shouted

"SHOW DAT BITCH IT AIN'T NUTHIN'!" a third citizen shouted

"YOU SUCK SPIDEY!" a fourth citizen yelled

"HEY! SHUT YA DAMN MOUTH JACK-OFF!" a fifth citizen replied

"YEAH! MAKE ME!" challenged the forth citizen, a fight between the forth and fifth citizen broke-out

"DON'T LISTEN TO 'IM SPIDEY! SHOW THAT MONSTER WHO IT'S MESSIN' WITH!" a sixth citizen shouted encouragingly

Spidey could barely breathe. Anguish WAS as strong as Hulk, Spidey could hear the cries of encouragement from the gathered crowd re-energizing him (Spidey Internal Monologue) "Gotta get up. C'mon Spidey. You can do it. You're an Avenger now – they're counting on you. MJ's counting on you. Aunt May's counting on you. The Avengers are counting on you. New York is counting on you. They believe in you. Gotta reward their belief and stay alive long enough for Iron-Man's return... I sure hope he comes quick"

Spidey removes himself from the building and drops to the street below to cheers from the crowd

"heh... You know, Paste Pot Pete hits harder than you!" Spidey mocks

"GRRrrrRRH! TRYyyTHISss!" Anguish hissed whilst shooting some webbing at Spidey. Spidey dodged, ducked, dipped, dived and dodged the webbing, then realized that Anguish had wanted him to do that – as it had created a giant web between buildings. Anguish smiled that big creepy sinister smile Venom does and yanked hard on the web-lines. The buildings crumbled and Spidey leapt into action webbing frantically in an effort to save the crowd. Close he thought way too close

"WAY TO GO SPIDEY!" a citizen cheered

"YEEEEAAAH!" a group of citizens cheered

"WICKED COOL!" a citizen shouted devoid of ANY emotion

Wicked cool? Thought Spidey Who the hell talks like that? He felt himself being tied up, suddenly he was yanked towards Anguish, it kicked him sending him backwards, Anguish pulled him in again and kicked him, sadistically toying with him like a human yo-yo. After several of these he stopped, Spidey was a little out of it

"HAha HAha HAha c'mon ParkEeer – I thought yOoou'd put up a bettEeer fight than thisss" Anguish taunted before unleashing a volley of electric through his webbing - shocking Spidey. Just then, Iron-Man reappeared with a fuel tank

"AaaRRrrH – YoooU AGAIiiN" Anguish complained

"Yes. ME again" stated Iron-Man

"heh heh... you're... you're in for it now... heh heh" Spidey murmured. Anguish let Spidey go and readied himself for Iron-Man's attack. Iron-Man wasn't exactly sure of Spidey's plan, how were they supposed to capture the symbiote once it was removed from it's host

"SPIDEY! WHAT'S THE PLAN!"Iron-Man shouted, Spidey was still a little dazed from the beating and electrocution he had sustained

"... huhmm just... just set him on... fire..." he managed to respond. Jet engines roared above them, it was the Quinjet

"AaaRRrrHHhh! MOooRE OF YOooU?" Anguish Quinjet set-down on a nearby rooftop. Deadpool bounded out with vigour, followed by the rest of The Avengers . He spotted Spidey laying on the ground, clothes torn, burnt and bloodied and covered in webbing

"SPIDEY! YO DUDE! YOU OKAY?!" Deadpool shouted. He got no reply "SPIDEY? SPIDEY?!" Deadpool leapt down from the building and landed hard on the street below, collapsing as his legs broke, a few seconds later his legs were healed and he ran over to Spidey. Meanwhile The Avengers looked on from the nearby rooftop

"Iron-Man what are you doing?" Captain America asked

"This was Spidey's idea. He -" Iron-Man was struck by a piece of debris thrown by Anguish, the fuel tank fell to the ground coating the surrounding area in gasoline

"AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" yelled Captain America. He, Cage and Spider-Woman leapt into action. Deadpool shakes Spidey who comes round

"huurh... errh... Deadpool?" Spidey said rubbing his head

"SPIDEY! Dude, ya had me worried. I have a present for you" Deadpool said excitedly, he shows Spidey the Iron-Spidey suit "TA DA-A!"

"Thanks Deadpool" Spidey said sitting up and taking the suit

"No worries dude" Deadpool said standing up, he pulled out his katana twirling them and proceeded to charge toward Anguish. Spidey gingerly rose to his feet and looked for a secluded place to dress but, with the crowd of police, civilians and news-teams the only place was atop a building so Spidey made his way to the building with the Quinjet on it. Captain America was calling shots as The Avengers attacked Anguish with little effect. Deadpool leapt into the air thrusting his arms out in front to strike at Anguish with his katana. Anguish punched Deadpool hard in the chest crushing his ribs and sending him flying into a nearby police car, shattering his spine. Deadpool lay sunken on the roof of the police car, his head flopped back to face the crowd

"Don't adjust your T.V sets folks... the ass kickin' will resume in 'just' a sec" the citizens gazed in slight revulsion at Deadpool as his body twitched and convulsed whilst repairing itself. Deadpool pried himself free from the wrecked police car and cracked his neck and pulled a few stretches. Once satisfied he turned to the crowd

"Now citizens do not be alarmed – ol' Deadpool's got that thing 'right' where he wants it" Deadpool saw people pointing their iPhones at him and began posing. After a few moments

"Okay, I'd better go and save my team-mates asses" Deadpool spun round, his eyes bulged as a massive piece of building was flying towards him, it smashed into his face and upper torso splintering into little pieces which flew into the crowd. Deadpool was bent over backwards, that is to say, his head was resting by his ankles and his lower back was gently resting against his ass – his spine broken. The crowd recoiled in horror at the sight before them, then started taking pictures

"... this is soooo going on that damn YouTube... aww man... I can see it now. Deadpool bends over backwards for his enemies..." Deadpool mumbles to himself. His spine slowly rises as each vertebrae pops and clicks into place and the muscles and nerves heal. Once he was finished healing Deadpool pulled out his guns and aimed them at the crowd "If I find these images or videos posted on that interweb thing I swear, I'll find you and I WILL kill you!" The crowd froze in fear. A few awkward moments passed then, a loud roar broke the crowd out of their fear and they started moving their phones toward the sky, Deadpool followed their gaze to see an armada of S.H.I.E.L.D heli-carriers and other vehicles. Deadpool could see something come from one of the S.H.I.E.L.D heli-carriers, it was heading straight for Anguish. As Deadpool watched he heard the unmistakable growl of "LOGAN!" he shouted in joy, Wolverine - garbed in an all black with yellow trimming version of his masked yellow and blue costume – was falling, claws out in front, towards Anguish with an evil smile on his face

"AAaaRRrrGGggHHh! ssSHIELD! WEee HAAaaTE ssSHIELD!" Anguish declared in anger. Wolverine landed on Anguish with his claws impaled into it's neck

"Let's see ya fight without a head" Wolverine said trying to pull out his claws and decapitate it. Anguish smiled as it let out a blast of electricity, whilst using it's symbiotic skin to hold Wolverine in place. Anguish then punched Wolverine, sending him flying. S.H.I.E.L.D units gather in position, Black Widow enters the battle field and approaches Captain America

"Captaen Amerika, SHIELD needs you ta distrakt tha Unknown whilst we get tha sonik kannons ready" ordered Black Widow, Captain America nodded

"Cage, get in close, Spider-Woman, cover Cage, Iron-Man cover me. AVENGERS ATTACK!" Spidey, after getting suited and taking a breather, rejoined the fight as too did Deadpool. Deadpool picked up his katana and met with Spidey

"Yo Spidey, don't worry. SHIELD have sonic cannons, apparently it is weakened by them" Deadpool revealed

"Yeah, the symbiote is weakened by loud vibrations" Spidey clarified. Anguish was getting frustrated at continually swatting the heroes away like flies and decided to cocooned himself in a ball of electricity

"EVERYONE! GET BACK!" shouts Spidey, noticing that Anguish wasn't the brightest spark and was about to ignite the gasoline that covered the area. Everyone gets clear of the gasoline. Anguish mistakes this as them scared to attack and started to laugh menacingly. He takes a step forward and sets the fuel alight. The flames burst into life and surrounded Anguish, it howled in pain. After years of being imprisoned in a sonic chamber, it had learnt to control the pain. It gathered it's strength, using it's hatred of Spider-Man and S.H.I.E.L.D, to force itself towards the flames

"GET THOZE SONIK KANNONS ON!" ordered Black Widow. SHIELD agents quickly positioned and turned on the sonic cannons. The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D agents alike watched in amazement as Anguish emerged through the fire and collapsed. But it's escape was in vain as it was subjected to a bombardment of sound. Anguish had evaded the fire only to be pinned down by sonic cannons that made every nerve seize up in horrendous pain, far worse than it's imprisonment at S.H.I.E.L.D. It was trapped. A wall of fire behind it and a wall of sound in front. The symbiote continued it's harrowing cries as it endured the pain. The sound was unpleasant, sending shivers down everyone's spines

"GET THE KONTAENMENT UNIT READY!" Black Widow commanded, S.H.I.E.L.D agents brought out a glass cube, Anguish, upon seeing it recognized it immediately, it was a modified version of his old prison, he forced his head to look slightly over his shoulder

"P-P-PAaaRKEeeR! HEeeLP USss! JOIN WITH USss AGAaaINSssT ssSHIELD AND WEee PROMISssE NOT TO KIiiLL YOooU" Anguish proposed

"Uh – excUUUSE ME? After ruining my day with MJ AND trying to kill me, you expect me to say what? - Yeah! Sure. Okay Anguish, ol' buddy, ol' pal" Spidey questioned facetiously

"Hold on Spidey, I've got this" Deadpool said putting an arm across Spidey's chest "*ahem* YO! Venom Jr! Haven't ya heard? - Me and Spidey are already a team"

"oh god" Spidey facepalms (for some reason he does this a lot in my story)

"WE are The MOTOR MOUTHS!" Deadpool declared emphatically

"WEee can't ssStand the pAAaain!" Anguish roared, the symbiote was detaching itself from it's host in an effort to escape "PLEeeASssE PAaaRKEeeR! HELP Usss!" it begged

"GET THA SYMBIOTE INTO THA KONTAENMENT UNIT! NOW!" Black Widow bellowed. Obediently the S.H.I.E.L.D agents did as she commanded. The Avengers watched, taking this time to catch a breather. The S.H.I.E.L.D units lowered the unit on top of the now separated symbiote trapping it in a cube of continuously, unrelentingly pulsating sound. Thankfully, it was also soundproof and the unpleasant screams of pain from the symbiote had been silenced.
The S.H.I.E.L.D agents carefully loaded the imprisoned symbiote into a S.H.I.E.L.D Heli-carrier. Once S.H.I.E.L.D contained the symbiote they turned off the sonic canons and put out the fire. But, they still had the problem of the S-U to contend with.
Spidey, in earnest, thought the battle was over – not knowing the symbiote host was mad with rage at S.H.I.E.L.D

"Okay – if it's okay with you guys imma go and try to rectify this with MJ" Spidey said

"The battle is not over yet, son" Captain America informed forebodingly

"What?" the S-U rose to it's feet, without the symbiote it looked like a bigger, yellow Hulk with long blue hair. Shaking off the grogginess – it then spotted S.H.I.E.L.D. Upon seeing them it roared and charged the sonic cannons and began tearing them apart

"SHIELD HURT Anguish. Anguish HURT SHIELD!" it roared in anger. Wolverine tried to intercept, stabbing it repeatedly with his claws.

"PROTEKT HELI-KARRIER 004 AND GET THA SYMBIOTE OUT OV HERE!" Black Widow commanded slightly panicked that Anguish might release the symbiote again. Anguish grabbed Wolverine and slammed him into the ground and stomped on him, keeping his foot there so Wolverine couldn't escape

"Uh – what the-? Someone wanna fill me in here?" Spidey said confused

"SHIELD created that thing from DNA of heroes and villains, Hulk, Wolverine, Electro and Rogue. It hates SHIELD and wants to destroy them. SHIELD want our help to stop it" Deadpool said quickly

"Great – how are WE supposed to stop it when it can hit as hard as Hulk, repair any damage dealt to it and steal our powers rendering us useless?" Spidey questioned with sarcasm. No-one answered. "ROGUE!" Spidey blurted out "IRON-MAN! You have to get to X-Mansion and get Rogue – she can steal this 'things' power and then SHIELD can contain it" Spidey suggested

"Good idea, son" praised Captain America, he turned to Iron-Man "We will hold it off until you get back Tony" Iron-Man nodded and set-off

"Right. So all we have to do is keep it busy without being touched by this thing. No problem. You DID see what it just did to Wolverine right? I mean he just made Wolverine look like a chump!" Spidey remarked satirically. Anguish was destroying the S.H.I.E.L.D units without difficulty. Wolverine managed to wiggle free and rolled onto all fours to catch his breath. Deadpool decided to step up to Anguish

"YO! Mr. ANGRY!" Anguish looked round at Deadpool and sneered "Yeah I'm talking to you. Sure, taking out SHIELD is no problem for ya but what about taking on me and Logan - the Unkillables" Deadpool challenged

"Whut?" Wolverine spluttered, Anguish returned to destroying S.H.I.E.L.D

"You don't like that name?" Deadpool questioned. He began to tap his chin with his left index finger "Hmmmm... Okay, how about... Mad 'n' Madder? No?... oo oo, I know. I've got it... The Crazy Psycho Killers?"

"Shut up Wilson, ya nut" Wolverine scorned rising to his feet

"Aww come on Logan. We team-up and there is no-one stronger than us" Deadpool proclaimed. Anguish suddenly froze, it turned it's head sharply and glared at Deadpool

"I AM ANGUISH! ANGUISH STRONGEST THERE IS!" Anguish roared with conviction

"AVENGERS! STAND READY!" Captain America ordered. The Avengers prepared themselves, Deadpool casually pulls out one of his guns and aims it, Yakuza style, at Anguish. Anguish roars and charges towards Deadpool who, pats his mouth looks away and shoots it with a paralysing shot. Anguish starts to spasm

"Who's strongest NOW?! Heh heh" Deadpool says smugly. A shadow looms above him, he looks up "aww crap!" Anguish's momentum had caused it to carry on moving forward whilst falling, it lands on Deadpool crushing every bone in his body, everyone looks on shocked "... a little help... please..." came a murmur from under Anguish

"BWAAAHAHAHAHA!" Wolverine laughed hard "Oh Wilson yar an idiot hahahaha!"

"Not helpful Logan" Captain America scolded

"KONTAENMENT CREWS! QUICKLY!" Black Widow ordered, S.H.I.E.L.D containment agents began to get the containment gear ready

"Steve, ya can't let 'em take dis thang" Cage pleaded, Captain America nodded and turned to Spider-Woman

"Jess. What do you think? Can we trust SHIELD?" he asked

"... ummm..." Spider-Woman said biting her bottom lip and rubbing her left arm in discomfort

"Jess?!" Captain America reaffirmed

"... no" she finally mumbled, but, Anguish rose to it's feet madder and stronger than before. Black Widow cursed in Russian and the S.H.I.E.L.D containment crew backed off. Anguish looked down at Deadpool

"RAAAAAAARHH! YOU HURT ANGUISH! ANGUISH HURT YOU!" Anguish proceeded to continually and unmercifully pummel Deadpool into oblivion. Punch after punch after punch rained down on him with no let up. The Avengers gazed in horror. Deadpool thought this was it. His healing factor would be overworked and unable to heal him continuously

"What do we do Cap?" Spidey asked worried

"Yeah, 'cause so far, I ain't been able ta do a damn bit a damage ta it!" stated Cage perturbed

"We just need to distract it. Keep it busy" Captain America said

"Hey girl scouts! Are ya gonna stand around talking or are ya gonna 'actually' fight this thing" Wolverine challenged before charging at Anguish

"WOLVERINE! GET IN CLOSE AND ATTACK IT!" ordered Captain America "Cage, you help Wolverine. Jess, you're with me. Spidey, you're the air support. Get high" They set off on their given tasks. Captain America threw his shield striking Anguish in the head breaking off his attack on Deadpool, as it recovered Cage smacked it hard in the left leg causing it to drop to one knee Wolverine slashed at it unrelentingly, Spider-Woman was using her venom blasts to poke at Anguish from a distance and Spidey was on the side of a building firing web-balls. Anguish was a little overwhelmed and in frustration he grabbed Luke Cage and began syphoning his power - in turn, gaining unbreakable skin

"Shit! This bastard has Cage's powers mah claws can't do shit!" Wolverine moaned. Anguish threw Cage away like a piece of trash

"CAAAAGE!" Captain America shouts in concern. Everyone's hearts sink as Cage didn't move or respond

"This bastard is startin' ta reeeeally piss me off!" exclaimed Wolverine. Spidey swings down to check on Cage (Spidey Internal Monologue) "NO! This can't be happening! Not again! He can't die! I took one day off... I could NEVER forgive myself if he dies"
Spidey lands next to Cage and puts two fingers to Cage's neck, checking for a pulse

"HE'S ALIVE!" Spidey shouts, much to everyone's relief. Even so Cage becomes the first Avenger to fall in this fight. Anguish fires off electricity in all directions, Spider-Woman is struck and so too is one of the S.H.I.E.L.D Heli-carriers. Spider-Woman collapses

"JEEESS!" Captain America shouts as he goes to help her but, Anguish intercepts him, striking hard and fast. Captain America uses his shield to shield himself from it's blows. Suddenly one of the S.H.I.E.L.D Heli-carriers explodes in a ball of flame killing several S.H.I.E.L.D agents and injuring dozens, Natasha found herself pinned under some debris from the explosion

"HELP ME!... PLEESE!" Black Widow yelled, The Avengers ignored her, if she could yell she was fine. Some S.H.I.E.L.D agents tried to help Black Widow unsuccessfully. Wolverine helps Captain America and Spidey goes to check on Deadpool

"Deadpool? Are you okay?" Spidey asks

"... And where were YOU five minutes ago?" Deadpool snapped

"Oh I'm sorry, I was too busy trying to STAY ALIVE!" Spidey answered with a hint of sarcasm

"Heh, I'm just messin' with ya heh heh" Deadpool joked, he leapt to his feet and stretched

"Must be great having a healing factor" remarked Spidey

"Yeah – it's kinda cool. But I don't get to cling to walls or lift people twice my size and weight or swing through the city in a cool red and blue costume... or date smokin' hot women" Deadpool countered

"Heh, thanks. Weeee probably should go help Cap and Logan" Spidey said pointing to the fight, Deadpool looked over his shoulder and replied

"Right"

Captain America is holding out against Anguish with the help of Wolverine, but, Wolverine is knocked back. Spider-Woman, badly burnt and groggy, begins to stir

"JESS! Get out of here!" shouts Captain America, sensing that she is unable to help anymore and not wanting her to suffer Cage's fate. Spider-Woman gets to her feet, Anguish notices her and grabs Spider-Woman, syphoning her powers

"NOOOOOOO!" screams Captain America as Spidey and Deadpool arrive. Anguish sees Deadpool, his eyes fill with rage, he drops Spider-Woman before fully syphoning her powers. Still, she is powerless all the same. Captain America manages to catch her before she hits the ground

"RAAAAAAAARHH!" roared Anguish as he focused his attention on Deadpool, Captain America was thankful for the reprieve

"I know a man who could help you with you're anger iss- "Anguish kicked Deadpool, who was sent tumbling head over heels into a lamppost. That left Spidey and Wolverine to distract Anguish while Spider-Woman made her way to a safer place with assistance from Captain America. Captain America supported Spider-Woman who, put her arm around his neck and walked gingerly towards a nearby alleyway

"I'm sorry Cap' I - " she mumbled

"Don't apologise Jess" replied Captain America

"No, I need to" she reaffirmed "I lied. I knew about that thing. But, I – I couldn't say anything in front of Natasha. I wasn't supposed to know but, I found out by accident" she revealed

"None of that matters right now" Captain America said reassuringly

"If I had told you. This could have been prevented and Cage wouldn't of... "

"Stop that!" Captain America snapped, letting Spider-Woman lean against a wall and slump to the floor "You will go crazy thinking like that" he put a hand on her shoulder to assure her "Take it from me, being a leader – responsible for the safety of my team – I've questioned myself, whether I am right in leading this team, whether my orders condemned those that died, does my limited understanding of this century impede my decisions excetera – it never helps. So Jess, please. Do not blame yourself. SHIELD are responsible for this! Besides, if you had told us, that would have made things difficult for you at SHIELD" Captain America stood and started heading back to the fight, Spider-Woman grabs his wrist

"That 'thing' – you have to consider killing it!" Spider-Woman pleaded

"What?!" Captain America said startled

"I know that's not what we do but, that 'thing' isn't human, it was grown in a Lab – it wasn't an accident, it's a mutated clone of The Hulk – they used accelerated growth serum, it hasn't had time to learn to use it's powers, it hasn't had a life, a mother or a father.. love. It has been under constant imprisonment and some of the tests - my God, they're sickening. I too would have gone mad if I had to endure what that 'thing' was subjected to" reveals Spider-Woman

"So it wasn't human?" Captain America asks in confirmation

"No" Spider-Woman replies solemnly. Captain America reflects on what Spider-Woman had just disclosed "If you kill it, it would put an end to this 'hero breeding' program. You would be doing that 'thing' a favour" Spider-Woman added. Captain America nodded

"I understand Jess. Don't worry. I won't let SHIELD know I know what you've said. You have my word" he said assuredly

"Thanks" Spider-Woman said before falling silent as she reflected on events, Captain America heads off to fight. And so Spider-Woman becomes the second Avenger to fall.

Meanwhile. Iron-Man arrives at X-Mansion. As he approaches and lands in the grounds he is met by Cyclops and Storm

"Hi there! We have a situation and Rogue would be a great help" Iron-Man stated

"Yes, we have seen it on the news. We were considering helping you, but, SHIELD and us don't exactly see eye to eye" Cyclops informed

"Preaching to the choir. Is Rogue available?" Iron-Man asked

"Yes. Storm will take you to her" Cyclops said motioning to the mansion

"Come with me" Storm said. Storm led Iron-Man into the X-Mansion and up the entrance hall's stairs, down the corridor to Rogue's room. Storm knocked on the door

"Come in" came the reply. Storm and Iron-Man entered, Rogue was sitting on her bed watching some sort of woman's show

"Uh – hi Iron-Man" Rogue said a little shocked

"Rogue" he nodded in response

"Rogue. The Avengers need your help" Storm said

"Mah help?" Rogue answered bemused

"Yeah, we need you to use your power sapping ability" Iron-Man said

"Blunt, aren't ya sugar" Rogue smirked

"Sorry. No time for niceties" Iron-Man said

"Okay, I'll help ya" Rogue said with a smile, jumping up from her bed. Rogue and Iron-Man exit the X-Mansion and fly towards the fight.

As Captain America rejoins the fight he is unsure of how to help, Cage and Spider-Woman are down. Anguish now has unbreakable skin and the only hope – Rogue - had not arrived yet. Deadpool's mangled body slowly started uncoiling and repairing itself. Deadpool addresses you the reader

"Ya know. I think the author of this story doesn't like me much. My poor healing factor has been in overdrive in this chapter. Forget Spidey getting a break and having a hard life. When am 'I' gonna get a break and stop being a useless punching bag for Anguish huh? Okay - rant over" Deadpool once again stretched and prepared to get back into the fight. He charged at Anguish who was wrestling with Spidey's webbing, he banged his forearms together and two blades shot out, he leapt up and shoved his blades deep into the eyes of Anguish, who, squealed in pain

"Yeah ha ha SUCK ON THAT BITCH!" Deadpool taunted victoriously "Me Deadpool. You hurt Deadpool. Deadpool hurt YOU! Ha ha ha haah" However, Anguish became even angrier and it's yellowish skin started turning orange, it's blue hair turning purple and it's muscles grew larger

"Great Wilson. Bravo" Wolverine slow clapped patronizingly "Ya managed ta piss it off even more" Anguish let off a massive wave of electric sending everyone back. As The Avengers recovered, Anguish seemed to be even more berserk than before. Spidey quickly made his way to Captain America

"Cap. What do we do here?" Spidey asked panicked

"Not sure, son? I've never encountered something that is invulnerable to every attack we throw at it" Captain America replied, before he could say another word Anguish wildly swung fists all over the place, Spidey, thanks to his 'Spider-Sense', was able to dodge the blows. Wolverine and Deadpool healed but Cap wasn't so lucky, he lost his grip on his shield and was struck hard into the ground. Winded Captain America didn't have time to catch his breath before being punted into a nearby building

"CAAAAAAP!" yelled Spidey, Captain America didn't respond. Anguish pulled Captain America from the rubble and began syphoning his power. Anguish was now stronger and faster than before. Spidey tried to intervene by web-swing kicking at it's hands. It was too late, Anguish dropped Captain America to turn it's attention to Spidey but, Wolverine and Deadpool distracted it with a cross-up attack while Spidey went to help Captain America

"Cap? Cap are you alright?" Spidey said crouching down and cradling Captain America in his arms whilst Anguish, Wolverine and Deadpool fought in the background

"... errh Pete?... I'm sorry son... this is it for me... " Captain America murmured

"NOOO! I can't be – it just can't. You're Captain America" Spidey proclaimed tears welling in his eyes Where are you Iron-Man? He thought

"Son, listen to me... you've got to lead the team now"

"What?! I – I can't - " Spidey protested, Captain America grabbed Spidey's left arm

"You can. You have to... until Tony gets back... " Captain America releases his grip as he passes out and becomes the third Avenger to fall. Spidey leaves Captain America and stands just as his 'Spider-Sense' goes crazy. Unbelievably, Anguish is quick enough to strike Spidey before he could move. It struck Spidey hard in the back, sending him into the banged up police car Deadpool landed on earlier. Spidey was winded, he tried to get up but Anguish was too quick and pummelled him into the car with repeated punches (Spidey Internal Monologue) "This is it! This is where I die. The end of The Avengers. The end of everything. Damn. I knew the chances of me reaching old age with MJ were slim. And to go out like this... man... just my luck. The day I take off is the day I die. I've let The Avengers down. I've let MJ down. I've let Aunt May down. I've let Uncle Ben down. Most importantly, I've let New York down. Please I just want to see MJ's smile again. God I really do love that woman. And have one more of Aunt May's awesome meatloafs. I really love that woman too. I'm so sorry everyone ... so sorry... sorry... " Spidey slipped into unconsciousness and becomes the fourth Avenger to fall.

"SPIDEY?! SPIDEY?!" Deadpool shouts in vain

"WILSON! PETE'S OUTTA THIS NOW! LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST YOU, ME AND UGLY HERE!" Wolverine yells. The Crazy Psycho Killers are the only ones left to defend New York. Anguish roars and charges Wolverine and Deadpool. They dodge just in time, thankfully for them Rogue and Iron-Man arrive on scene

"IRON-MAN!" Deadpool shouts excitedly waving at him. Iron-Man and Rogue look around at the carnage. The Avengers are all but decimated, only Wolverine and Deadpool are still standing. Rogue and Iron-Man's hearts sink and they feel sick. They are distraught at what they've been greeted with

"ROGUE! YO ROGUE! GO SAP THIS THINGS POWERS ALREADY!" Deadpool yells dodging Anguish's attacks. His shouts break Iron-Man and Rogue out of their trance

"Uh... yeah Rogue. Wolverine, Deadpool and I will distract Anguish while you sneak in from behind and catch it's blind side. Okay?" Iron-Man politely inferred, Rogue nodded

"Sure thang, sugar" she said removing her gloves in preparation. Iron-Man heads down into the foray firing his ion re-pulser palm blasts. Wolverine and Deadpool distract Anguish with futile strikes while Rogue sneaks behind. As Iron-Man flies by, he is struck hard by Anguish, surprised by it's increased speed, and slammed into a building – his suit starts to malfunction

"Oh no! Please don't do this now!..." Iron-Man tries re-routing power, when that doesn't work he tries to get his flight systems engaged, doesn't work "Crap!" so he starts pressing buttons in frustration before giving up "Well, could be worse. At least I'm not stuck in this suit like my first fight with The Hulk, 'cause that was embarrassing" Iron-Man reminiscently remarks to 'apparently' himself. And so Iron-Man becomes the fifth Avenger to fall.
Rogue manages to catch Anguish by surprise and starts to syphon it's power

"AAAARRRRRGHHHH! ANGUISH HURTING" Anguish yells shaking ferociously trying to remove Rogue

"Ah'm sorry sugar, it's for ya own good" Rogue said. Anguish fell to it's knees whilst trying to shake Rogue off it. It's skin returning to it's yellowish colour and it's hair returning to blue. In a last ditch attempt Anguish tried encasing itself in electric but, Rogue had syphoned to much of it's energy. Rogue could feel the incredible power that resided within Anguish. It was too powerful for her. She managed to syphon the majority of Anguish's power before succumbing to the influx of power and passes out, dropping to the street below

"ROOOOGUE!" Wolverine shouted Damn it! he thought. Wolverine and Deadpool are left to take on, the now powerless, Anguish. Though it was still as strong as a muscle bound 9ft monster would be. Wolverine realised that the reason Rogue collapsed was because she had stolen too much of it's power for her to handle and he grinned ear-to-ear as it meant, Anguish was powerless now. Black Widow spotted Wolverine grinning sinisterly and knew what he was thinking

"Oh ah'm gonna enjoy ripping yar guts out ya freak!" Wolverine remarked

"WOLVAREENE! DO NOHT ENGAGE!" yells Black Widow "WE NEED IT ALIVE, YES" she added. Wolverine ignored her and charged Anguish who was busy trying to shake off the grogginess

"WOLVAREENE NOOOO!" Black Widow yelled in futility. Anguish howled in pain as Wolverine's claws pierced it's flesh

"Try healin' from that!" Wolverine sadistically challenged. Anguish smacked Wolverine hard in the face, Wolverine spat blood from his mouth, looked up at Anguish and smirked

"Sorry bub. Ain't gonna work" he stated, suddenly Anguish started to convulse

"Oh yeah!" Deadpool exclaimed joyously twirling his gun

"Whut the hell Wilson?" Wolverine questions. Anguish spasms and flails about before collapsing on it's back "Why tha hell ya do that? I was just startin' ta have fun" Wolverine moaned

"Errh, because this things powers will return soon" Deadpool said

"Ah woulda killed it by then" Wolverine stated confidently "Besides, when did ya get so... sensible?" he asked

"I'm an Avenger now. With great power comes great responsibility" Deadpool recited, Wolverine mimed throwing up

"Okay. So? What are we supposed to do now?" Deadpool asks Wolverine

"You have to kill it" Captain America said startling both Wolverine and Deadpool, he slowly rose to his feet, clutching his ribs, having regained consciousness

"NOOOO!" Black Widow yelled

"It's the only way Deadpool. SHIELD cannot be trusted and the safety of New York is our priority" Captain America informed. Black Widow, sensing she wouldn't on a moral ground persuade Deadpool not to kill it, tried

"Do noht kill it under order of SHIELD!" Deadpool struggles with the decision before answering

"Sorry lady. But I'm an Avenger. I take my orders from Captain America. I do the right thing now. The people of New York, The Avengers and the people reading this story are counting on ME to, for once in my life, do the right thing" Deadpool states with conviction

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Black Widow begs, she looks at Wolverine "STOP 'IM!" Wolverine ignored her and went to check on Rogue. Black Widow frantically struggled to get free from the debris that was pinning her down

"SHIELD AGENTS STOP 'IM" Black Widow desperately pleaded. Reluctantly S.H.I.E.L.D agents began assembling and hesitantly approached Deadpool

"Anyone of ya try an' stop 'im, I'll rip ya ta pieces!" Wolverine threatened, that was all the S.H.I.E.L.D agents needed to stop in their tracks. Deadpool climbed on top of the fallen Anguish and stood on it's chest. He raised his arms above his head with katana pointing down. Anguish looked Deadpool in the eyes which made Deadpool freeze

"Whut ya waitin' for, Wilson? Do it already!" Wolverine roared impatiently cradling Rogue in his arms. Deadpool looked around, he smiled as The Avengers were slowly getting to their feet. Cage, Spidey, Spider-Woman and Iron-Man were okay, badly beaten and hurting but, okay. Captain America was helping and checking on the fallen Avengers. Deadpool was relieved and as he looked around they nodded in supportive agreement, he looked back at Anguish who also managed to nod*Deadpool drove his katana through Anguish's chest, piercing it's heart. Blood shot from it's mouth as it cried in pain. Anguish looked at Deadpool with appreciative eyes

"... Thank you..." it murmured, Deadpool froze in confusion. It coughed some blood, then it laid down staring at the sky. It smiled with contentment before it's eyes rolled back into it's head and it took it's last breath. Anguish was dead.

"It – it thanked me?" Deadpool said stunned as he jumped down off it's chest

"Are you happy?" Steve asked Black Widow in disgust, she scowled at him

"Are you okay Deadpool?" Spidey asked putting a hand on his shoulder for comfort

"Yeah, it's just – I don't remember anyone thanking me for killing them. Besides, it should be ME asking YOU how you are?" Deadpool retorted

"I'm okay. A few broken ribs but, I'm fine – for now"

"For now?" Deadpool inquired

"... ask me how I am AFTER I've talked with MJ ha ha ha ha... " Spidey and Deadpool laugh. Meanwhile, Captain America and Black Widow were exchanging words

"You did noht hav ta keel it" Black Widow declared visibly pissed off. Iron-Man had managed to get mobility back in his suit, though flight and weapons were still down. He joined Black Widow and Captain America

"YOU gave us no option, Natasha" Captain America stated

"That thing was an abomination! It wanted to die" Iron-Man added

"You created it! You're responsible for this! And you are damn lucky WE were able to prevent it from harming any innocents!" Captain America scolded

" Although, it did seem only interested in harming you! Maybe something to do with whatever experiments you had done to it? You must of treated it in such a manner that it grew hostility towards you - NOT loyalty. If we didn't kill it what would of happened?" Iron-Man challenged

"That is SHIELD's business" Black Widow retorted reticently.
Captain America turned away from Black Widow and approached Deadpool who was sharing a laugh with Spidey

"I'm proud of you son" he said offering his hand, Deadpool beamed with pride as he reciprocated the offered hand. Spidey gave Deadpool a thumbs up. Captain America then addressed all of The Avengers as they gathered round "I'm proud of ALL of you. Thank you ALL for your efforts here today. I have no doubt that with out you all here, things would have been VERY different. So, thank you for fighting in what seemed like a hopeless battle. Your courage is appreciated and I am extremely proud to lead, know and call such people, who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to defend this city, friends" Captain America said appreciatively "My only regret was that that thing had to die. It didn't ask for that power. It didn't gain that power through accident. I want you all to know that SHIELD are responsible for what happen here today. They created a monster. Tainted by that symbiote. They raised it in a Lab and subjected it to horrendous experiments. What that poor thing went through is unimaginable. It was a shame that it was so broken by the things it had suffered, that it had become mad and unstable. And unfortunate it was corrupted by the symbiote. And because of the power it possessed and the danger it presented, we were forced to kill it! Please, when you think about what happened here, remember that monster had a name. It's name was Anguish – a name which summed up it's life. One of constant pain. It had no family, no friends, no life and had never experienced love. Please honour it's – his death, by remembering him as a victim of SHIELD and NOT a monster" Captain America's words were poignant, all the heroes, though they had suffered hardships, had friends and family to turn to. Some had lived a life before gaining powers. Others had grown up feared because of the power they possessed but, they all had a safe place to go. Anguish wasn't so lucky. Created by DNA Lab tests and forced to grow quickly without properly learning, who or what it was. It was neither human nor a freak occurrence of nature. It was a tragic abomination of science.
The gathered crowd begin to cheer and applaud. The Avengers looked around and began to wave awkwardly in appreciation

"Thank you. Thank you" Deadpool said taking a bow "The day was saved thanks to The Deadly, Death-Defying, Merc-with-a-Mouth... DEADPOOL!" Deadpool declared embracing the cheers "... oh and some help from these guys" Deadpool motioned to The Avengers. Meanwhile. S.H.I.E.L.D agents had finally managed to free Black Widow from the debris and S.H.I.E.L.D decided to leave without further fuss. Captain America pulled out a remote control from his utility belt and presses a few buttons. The Quinjet burst into life and flew from the rooftop it was located on and set-down on the street below. The Avengers headed over towards the Quinjet, beaten, broken, battered and scarred - physically AND mentally. Also they were somewhat remorseful and perturbed at the events of today. While they were victorious, they didn't feel it. Anguish's death had effected them more than they thought it would

"HEY! WILSON! WHERE YA GOIN'?" Wolverine shouted, The Avengers stopped and turned to face him

"?" Deadpool looked at Wolverine who had his arms folded and was smiling menacingly

"Waddya say we finish whut we start'd huh?" Wolverine challenged

"Ha, you mean ME finish what YOU started right?" Deadpool retorted

"Whutever" Wolverine remarked. The rest of the Avengers shook their heads

"Oh, boy" Spidey commented

"Well, I vote for letting them resolve their differences" said Iron-Man

"Agreed" Captain America sighed

"Yeah well, I guess we should leave them to it. This could go on for 'sometime' ha ha ha" Spidey joked, referencing their healing abilities. The rest of The Avengers limped aboard the Quinjet. Deadpool walked towards Wolverine pulling out his katana and twirled them as he did so

"Okay Logan. Prepare for my ASSASSIN'S BLADES OF DEATH! Followed by my FISTS OF MORALITY!" Deadpool struck a few silly martial art poses, an evil smile spread across Wolverine's lips

"Heh. Let's dance, bub" he said popping out his claws. Wolverine roared, Deadpool mock roars in response and they charge towards each other...

The End.

*Note: Didn't know if it was made clear through the hints in the story, or whether you worked it out so, I thought I'd explain how Anguish was able to nod and speak despite being paralysed. It's simple. Deadpool took so bloody long that the paralysis had begun to wear off. Anguish wanted to die and didn't struggle to fight once mobility started returning to it.

Deadpool: Epilogue

Deadpool awoke and yawned. He rose to a seated position, still a little groggy, and looked around. He found himself sitting on a sofa in an abandoned house, he recognized it as one of the places he used as a gun-for-hire. In fact, it was the last place he used before... before, a surge of adrenaline rushed through his body. He stood, frantically trying to understand what is going on. He was so sure he was an Avenger and helped in defeating Anguish. If he would be anywhere it'd be at Avengers Tower, suddenly he felt sick as a thought emerged, that maybe, just maybe it was all a dream

"A DREAM?!" he exclaimed "A FUCKIN' DREAM?!" he yelled, addressing the author Darth Hel'eon "Now. Look here Cursed Hellion, Darth Hel'eon or whatever stupid name you're calling yourself!"

"Look who's talking" Darth Hel'eon retorts

"I and my LEGION of fans and the people who have followed this story, did NOT go through all that for THIS ending. We deserve a better ending than a fuckin' DREAM!" Deadpool protested

"Erh, well Mr. Wilson ... I wasn't sure how else to end it, you know, what with continuity and all" Darth Hel'eon tried to explain

"Mr. Wilson?! No-one calls me that! Besides, a dream ending is a cop-out man. Sure it was good and surprising when it was first used but, jeez... seriously? FUCK continuity! Sometimes people don't care about that! They just wanna read a story featuring ME!" Deadpool countered

"Well, this is MY story and I know not everyone will like the ending – just like Mass Effect 3 - it was all about enjoying the journey" Darth Hel'eon justified

"Bullshit!" Deadpool spat

"Besides, you and I both know that this isn't real, so does it really matter?" Darth Hel'eon proposed.

Deadpool gives the author Darth Hel'eon the silent treatment and walks around the room pouting, murmuring expletives and threats of murder when, something catches the corner of his eye. It was his reflection in the window. He stared at it – something wasn't right, he looked away from the reflection and at himself. He noticed that his suit was a dark crimson red, it had gold detail and black trimming, he looked back at the reflection, his eye lenses were glowing neon blue – excited he formed an X with his arms. He took a breath and banged his forearms together. Two blades shot out of his wrists. He looked them over before slashing his arms about, prancing round the room with flips and cartwheels before finishing in a dynamic pose.
A smile crept across Deadpool's face.

The End.

Thank you to everyone and anyone who has; read, reviewed, followed and added as favourite, this story, I appreciate it. This has taken forever to finish (and lessons have been learnt; make chapters shorter ha ha ha ha) but, is finally complete - for now.
The epilogue is the original ending I had, but – I thought it would be better as an epilogue that you could disregard if you prefer the 'Hollywood' ending ha ha ha ha.

Anyway. Thank you.

From an extremely grateful

- Darth Hel'eon
