I own nothing. I don't own any of the characters.
"Hey Deadpool, you ok? I was looking for you earlier."
"Sorry Cape. I just needed to get my head on straight."
That's saying something.
That's saying little actually.
"Hush. We got all that worked out for now."
"Right. Look, I'm going to go sneak around the site for the new water treatment plant. I was kind of hoping you would like to come along."
"Yeah. That could be fun."
That smile is creepy.
You can't even see his smile for the mask.
I know what it's supposed to look like.
A red mist appeared for a split second just outside the perimeter of the site of the new water treatment plant, and a split second later it cleared to reveal Deadpool and The Cape.
"Need to get me one of those."
"It's handy, but if people know to look for the energy signature it leaves it's easily traced. Luckily mine rotates signatures."
"I guess that's handy. You're good with stealth right Deadpool? We're not here to harm anyone, just to investigate."
"Can do."
Lier. You've never investigated anything.
True, but we tend to Scooby-Doo stuff and stumble onto clues.
Deadpool disappeared in a puff of red smoke to begin his investigation, and The Cape didn't wait around. The Cape swirled his cape around himself and vanished. Deadpool had a few close calls. He'd be looking around and have to teleport away when he'd hear a sound. Deadpool wasn't jumpy, he was just cautious. They didn't come to fight.
The Cape had it better. His costume was darker, and he was actually trying to hide. That gave him the ability to be just feet from a security guard without them being the wiser. And not having to leave an area he was investigating in a hurry, allowed him to see things he might had missed otherwise. Even these advantages were not availing him this time. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary. No residue in an unusually place, no obvious or obscure signs of sabotage, and the most disconcerting was the lack of any of Scales usual cronies.
The Cape was waiting back where they first arrived. He and Deadpool had already agreed that they would meet back at there after an hour. He had just barely arrived before the tell-tale red smoke of Deadpool's teleportation.
"Are you able to get us back to the hide out?"
"Yeah. Weasel is great at what he does. His tech doesn't overheat often." Deadpool wrapped an arm around The Cape and they were gone in another flash and puff of red smoke.
Back at the abandoned water treatment plant. "Did you find anything Deadpool?"
Deadpool was holding a bag that The Cape didn't remember him having before. He opened it and started pulling items out of it. "A few wallets, a yellow helmet, a couple of hammers, and I'm not sure what this is." The last item Deadpool pulled out was a small test tube, like one would see in a laboratory. It was empty.
"This could be the break we needed."
"So what's next?"
We go in guns-a-blazin?
No. We turn it over to the proper authorities.
"We need to find out what was in this tube."
"How do we do that?"
Obvious. We take it to a lab and let scientists do that.
Do you know a lab we can take it to, or a scientist we can trust?
We know Weasel. We can trust him.
One problem, we don't know where he is. He's not been answering any of our calls.
"I don't know. I'm not able to do this myself, and I don't know anyone I can take this to that I can trust."
"In other words, we need a plan."
I still say guns-a-blazin is a great plan.
Please review, rate, rant, ect. Any feedback is appreciated.
