So this is going to be the last chapter for Two Assassins, but I will not stop working on my other fan fics.

Chapter 13: Epilogue

Deadpool waited with the Vault Hunters on the second floor of the HQ for Zer0 to return. "We should go help him!" Gaige blurted as she shot up from her seat. "Settle down Gaige." Lilith exclaimed. "Zer0 can handle himself. He'll be back soon."

"I know. I just want to help him out."

Maya replied "Like Lilith said, Zer0 can handle himself." Deadpool looked around the room to see the worry in their faces. He took a deep breath and sighed as everyone seemed to move around in discomfort. "What did I miss?" He heard Zer0 question. He looked to the balcony to see Zer0 leaning in the doorway.

"Zer0!" Maya cheered as she wrapped him in a hug. Everyone went over to him and either slapped him on the back or hugged him. Deadpool shook Zer0's hand and exclaimed "Good to see you in one piece." Zer0 replied "Good to be in one piece."

"So I'm guessing that Deathstroke is?"

"He's been taken care of."

Deadpool noticed Maya was looking around and she questioned "Where's Domino? Were… were you able to save her?"

"I saved her, but I also told her about you and me."

"And?"

"She didn't take the news too well. She said that she needed some time to herself before she even thought talking to me again."

Deadpool sighed and proclaimed "At least she's safe." Lilith announced "Now that we know that everyone is safe and we won't be seeing Deathstroke again, we should celebrate! Party at Moxxi's!"

"I LIKE the sound of that!"

Sane proclaimed "That sounds like the best idea I've heard since we got here." Crazy added "Yeah! Let's party!" Deadpool put his arm around Lilith and walked with her to Moxxi's. There they drank and celebrated and listened to Zer0 tell his tale of conquest. "Then when he hit the ground I put my blade to his throat." Zer0 recounted as he stood on the bar.

His helmet was lying on the ground since he began drinking. "Then what happened?" A very drunk Axton questioned. Zer0's look went a little somber and he replied "I did what needed to be done." Everyone cheered as Zer0 hopped off the bar. Deadpool noticed that Zer0 looked a little, different, but he just assumed it was because he was drunk.

He looked over at Lilith and she gestured for him to come over to her. He stumbled over to her and she was practically leaning on him. "Hey there Wade." Lilith slurred. "Enjoying the party?" Deadpool wrapped her in a hug and laughed "One of the best parties I've ever been to." Sane pointed out "That's because we don't get invited to parties."

Crazy chuckled "That's cause we party too hard!"

"If that's the way you want to look at it then sure."

Deadpool snapped back into reality when Lilith pulled him down to her level and whispered in his ear "How about you and me get out of here?" Deadpool raised an eyebrow and replied "Where would you rather go?"

"How about my place?"

"I like the sound of that."

Lilith took his hand and drunkenly led him back to the HQ. They stumbled their way upstairs and fell down onto Lilith's bed. It started with them making out until Lilith sat up and threw her jacket off. "I like where this is going." Deadpool proclaimed as he ran his hands on her sides. She laid back down on top of him and started kissing him again.

Her hand slid down and started fiddling with his belt. He was enjoying this time he was having with Lilith, but something felt… weird. "Lilith wait." He proclaimed as he grabbed her hand. "What's wrong?" She slurred in question.

"I'm just not feeling like sex tonight."

"Why? Did I do something wrong?"

"No! No. I… I just feel like cuddling right now."

She looked a little disappointed, but he was sure that was just the booze. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to his chest. She took a deep breath and sighed "This is nice." She wrapped her arms around him and they simply laid together.

Maya stumbled out of the bar with her arms wrapped around Zer0's waist. She was incredibly happy that he made it out alive and even happier he was finally hers. They were starting to make their way towards his place when an idea popped into her head. "Hey Zer0." Maya slurred. He looked down at her with a smile and replied "Yes my love?"

"Why don't you come meet me at my place in about… ten minutes?"

"Sure thing dear. I'm just going to go to my place for a few minutes until then."

Zer0 stumbled towards his house while Maya went to hers next to Moxxi's. She was almost to the door when she noticed someone leaning against it. She took a few more steps forward and she saw that it was Domino. "Maybe she hasn't seen me yet." Maya thought as she turned around. "I see you Maya." Domino exclaimed.

Maya could tell by the tone in her voice that she wasn't exactly a happy camper. Maya took a deep breath and went over to Domino. "Hey there Domino." Maya replied, trying to act casual. "How have you been?"

"Before or after you stole my boyfriend from me."

"Shit." Maya cursed in her head. "I'm sorry about that." Maya apologized. Domino rolled her eyes and exclaimed "I highly doubt that you are sorry about that."

"You're right, I'm not really that sorry."

"That makes me feel sooo much better."

"I really am sorry about betraying your trust Domino. I really am."

"That I believe. Can I just ask why you decided to wait for me to be kidnapped to make a move on Zer0?"

"I didn't make the first move, Zer0 did. I snapped him out of a trance he was in and he just kissed me and told me that he loved me."

"I figured this would happen eventually."

"You knew Zer0 and I would get back together?"

"Yes. I figured that he would go back to you after I saw how he looked at you. I could just feel the love he had for you and I just tried to fight it, but I knew it would have to end sometime. I just thought he would break up with me first, not cheat on me."

"Again, sorry about that."

"It's… its whatever. Just promise me that you won't let anything happen to him."

"I promise."

"Alright. I'm going to get out of here. I'll be back, but not for a while. I just need to clear my head."

"Okay. Stay in touch."

Domino nodded and walked to the fast-travel station. Maya entered her home and stumbled up the stairs. She walked into her room and started preparing a surprise for Zer0.

Zer0 made it to his house relatively okay since he bumped into a few walls… and trash cans… and light posts. He was seriously hammered since he felt weird about lying to everyone about him killing Deathstroke. Zer0 leaned on the door and found it unlocked. "I thought I locked this door." Zer0 grumbled as he walked into his home. The room was dark until a light flicked on and revealed a man Zer0 never wanted to see again sitting in a chair.

Deathstroke held a pistol and pointed it at Zer0. "Welcome back." Deathstroke growled. "Have a seat. Stay a while." He gestured to the chair across from him with his pistol and Zer0 followed. "Care for a drink?" Deathstroke offered as he poured two shot glasses with what Zer0 assumed was scotch. Zer0 grabbed the glass and took a whiff of it to see if it was poisoned or not. "Checking for poison?" Deathstroke questioned. "Do you believe I would stoop that low?" Zer0 replied easily "Yes. I really do."

"Zer0, I'm hurt that you would think I'd stoop to Copperhead's level."

Zer0 took a chance and threw the shot back. He waited for a moment to see if the poison was fast acting, but nothing happened. "Good scotch isn't it?" Deathstroke asked as he held his glass. "One of my favorites."

"What are you doing here? I thought I made myself very clear."

"You did… and it made me think. How this man… this one man could avoid me for years after I nearly killed him survive a sword to the chest and then defeat me in combat. How the FUCK do you evade my blade?"

"Skill I guess. Old age catching up to you old man?"

Zer0 knew he shouldn't have said that to the man who had a gun pointed at him, but he was drunk. Deathstroke chuckled and replied "Not quite Zer0, but I believe there is something more for us."

"Us? What us?"

"I believe that this is destiny's way of saying we should kill each other, but work WITH each other."

"Us working together?"

"Indeed. Can you not see the opportunity? Two of the galaxy's greatest assassins working together. No one could stop us."

Zer0 thought about what Deathstroke had offered. "How could he expect me to with him?" Zer0 thought. "He has nearly killed me multiple times but now he wants me to work with him? It's either this or we go back to trying to kill each other." Zer0 sighed and replied "What did you have in mind?" Deathstroke answered as he holstered his pistol "We go out on contracts together. Kill targets and complete missions. Split the profit 50/50, what do you say, partner?" Deathstroke extended his hand and Zer0 shook it.

"Excellent. I will begin searching for jobs for us and I would suggest saying nothing to your companions. Unless you want them to know that you didn't actually kill me."

"Right. Just contact me as secretly as possible."

"I will. Isn't there something you should be doing right now?"

Zer0 realized that he should be getting to Maya's and he asked "How do you know that?"

"I didn't. I guessed. I will remain here until later when I may leave unseen. See you soon, partner."

Zer0 walked out of his place and tried to rack his brain to figure out what just happened. "I just became partners with Deathstroke?" Zer0 groaned as he walked to Maya's. "Looks like I'm done drinking." He got to Maya's door and found a note reading "Come upstairs". He did what the note said and went upstairs to a door that read "I'm waiting". He slowly opened the door to see that it was a door to Maya's room.

There were candles lit everywhere to provide a sort of mood lighting. He looked to the bed to see Maya laying across the bed in her underwear and giving him a very seductive look. She raised a finger and gestured for him to come closer to her. He immediately unzipped the top part of his suit and dropped it. He started undoing his belt while he moved towards the bed.

Maya sat up on the bed and started undoing his pants as he slid his belt off. She dropped his pants and he climbed into the bed with her. He positioned himself over her and stared into her eyes. "I love you Maya." He whispered to her as she wrapped her arms around him. "I love you too Zer0." She replied as she pulled him into a kiss.

There you have it people! The conclusion of Two Assassins! Deadpool and Lilith are together, Zer0 and Deathstroke are partners, and Maya and Zer0 are back together. I'm thinking about writing a sequel but I'm 100% on what the storyline could be. Any ideas would be appreciated.
