TheGrandDisciple author note-Some fun fluff to write. Wonder what's to cum of it. ;-)

Son of the Mourning-Why do we do cliffhangers? For the glory of satan of course! jk, would you believe me that we make up half this shit as we go along?

So no one got the two references from last chapter. The first one was from Super Troppers. "Enhance... Enhance..."
The second one was from Harry Potter. "After all this time?"..."Always."

The closest person to guess it was Mel on AO3. So Mel gets a shoutout in this chapter as a character insert. BUT Mel reviewed as a guest and we can't reply back to know for certain if Mel is male or female. So... I improvised.

Once the jet was fueled and loaded with the crates that were being sold to Kingpin, Ulysses escorted Mina onto the jet while Frank carried their bags. When she got on the jet her eyes went wide. All the couches and seats were leather and the décor was trimmed with a dark wood and white carpets. There was a mini bar right when you walked in and a few doors and curtains seen further down the jet.

"Wow. Its bigger than I thought it would be." Mina said while looking around.

"That ain't the only thing that's big."

"I'm gonna prepare for takeoff before anything else gross happens." Frank closed the door and walked passed them to the cockpit.

Ulysses walked passed Mina and put his bag on one of the tables before sitting down. Then pulled out his laptop and started working.

"So… Where do I sit?" she asked awkwardly from the door.

"Don't care." He said without looking up at her.

"Are you alright?" she asked, concerned with his sudden attitude change towards her.

"Just fine."

"You're mad at me."

"No I'm not."

"Then why am I getting the cold shoulder from you? Is it because of Disciple and Domino? I didn't have anything to do with that." Mina pointed towards the door.

"I said I'm fine." He snapped and went back to his laptop.

Mina scowled, "You know what? Fuck this." She threw her hands up and walked into the cockpit. "Hey Frank, open the door will you? I'm staying here."

Frank turned around in his seat and raised a brow, taking his headset off, "Really?"

Ulysses shot up from his seat and chased after her, "You ain't going nowhere!"

Mina spun around so fast her hair nearly whipped him in the face, "You don't control me! I'm not some fucking prisoner, Lee!"

He took a deep breath and grit his teeth, "I want you to stay with me. Please." He nearly choked on the words, it gave her a chance to tell him no and he hated that.

"And I want you to stop being a jerk, but we all can't get what we want." She crossed her arms and leaned back on her right foot, sticking her hip out.

Frank was still sitting in the pilot seat with them standing in the doorway of the cabin, "In or out?"

"Stay out of this!" both of them snapped at him.

"Then get the fuck out and close the door so I can take off!" He yelled back and started pushing buttons and prepping for takeoff again. When the door slammed shut behind him he yelled back, "I SAID STOP SLAMMING THE FUCKING DOORS!"

They both ignored him and were standing belly to belly, staring each other down. Ulysses towered over her and she looked up at him defiantly. The jet started to move slowly forward, out of the hangar and towards the runway.

"What's your problem? You're acting like you're jealous of them fucking." She asked him.

Ulysses barred his teeth at her, the gold ones flashing dangerously. "I don't get jealous."

"Bullshit. You are the walking epitome of jealous. Tell me what your problem is."

"Problem? My fucking problem is I've had blue balls for months. My dick is fucking chaffed from rubbing one out constantly!" He finally admitted.

Her jaw dropped, "You're blaming ME for that?! You hate me because we haven't fucked yet?!"

"I don't blame you-"

"Bullshit! If you didn't, then you wouldn't be treating me like this." She shoved him in the shoulder and moved past him towards the back of the jet.

"Bokkie, come back! I didn't mean it like that." He followed her.

She stopped in her tracks and he nearly ran into her, "For the record, I thought you didn't even want me anymore because you never tried to initiate anything!"

His jaw dropped this time, "WHAT?! How could you say that?! I'm fucking mad about you! I never-"

He was cut off by the jet suddenly jerking forward as it was taking off. Ulysses crashed into Mina and they both flew to the floor with him landing on top of her. He looked down at her and put his elbows on either side of her head to support himself.

"You alright? You hurt?" He asked suddenly, forgetting that they were even arguing in the first place.

She winced and nodded, "Just knocked the wind out of me."

Ulysses took the opportunity to bend down and kiss her gently. "Mina… I didn't push for it because I'm trying to do right by you. I've been waiting for you to come to me but it never happened. I won't push you for something you aren't ready for."

She snorted and covered her mouth with both of her hands, making him give her an awkward look. "I've been waiting for you to come to me. I thought you were getting bored with me."

Ulysses tucked her hair behind her ear, away from her face. "When you're ready… I'll take care of you real good. Until then, I'm working on getting us some money. When I have enough for you we're gonna go away. Just you and me living however you want."

She bit her lip, "You mean… you'll retire?"

He scoffed, "Don't use retire, Love. You make me feel old. It's more like I'm walking away, leaving it to Frank and Disciple. It will just be the two of us, doing something stupid." He was talking about them getting married.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, pressing her hand against the back of his head and sending endorphins to his brain. He chuckled, "You keep that up I'll have this jet rocking from my turbulence."

Before she could reply his laptop chimed, he had an incoming conference call. He jumped up, bringing her with him before rushing to the laptop, "Give me a minute, love. I gotta take this."

Mina sighed and sat across from him at the small table, waiting for him to finish so they could continue their conversation. He put his small Bluetooth piece in his ear and answered the call through his laptop. "Klaue here, you get the shipments I sent you? Good… good. When should we expect your next order?"

After twenty minutes it was obvious that he wasn't going to be finished anytime soon, so she stood up to go watch T.V. He put his hand up and looked at her, "Just a few more minutes, love. I'll be done soon, just give me a little bit."

She sighed and sat back down. A few more minutes turned into an hour and Mina was tired of being ignored. He was so caught up in working that he didn't bother stopping her from getting up this time. She grabbed one of the small blankets from the little cabinet in the back then curled up on the couch and fell asleep.

Mina woke up several hours later alone on the couch. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, still seeing Ulysses at his laptop working. "Lee?"

He held his hand up without turning around to see her, "Just a bit longer."

Mina growled angrily and got up, making her way to the cockpit with her blanket still wrapped around her. When she opened the door she looked at Frank seriously and said, "I just want to let you know… we're all counting on you." Then couldn't hold back her laughter.

Frank turned to look at her, taking his headset off. "Hey kid, you alright?"

She sat in the copilot seat and tucked her blanket around her tighter, "Idunno. I guess as good as I can be. How you doing up here? You tired?"

He shook his head, "Nah, I'm alright. So you guys talk it out then?"

"Nope. Never finished the conversation. I've been waiting for him to finish working since we took off." She said sadly.

Frank looked up from the controls suddenly, "What the hell have you been doing back there this whole time? I was thinking you two were kissing and making up on the bed."

"There's a bed?! I fell asleep on the couch and now my neck is fucked up." Mina complained and rubbed the back of her neck. "I don't even know why he made me come, or WHY he wants me to come if he's just going to ignore me like he does at home."

Frank's heart went out to her, he's seen this before when he did it to his own wife. "Kid… I'm sorry, he's focused on work and I know that ain't no excuse. If you want me too, I'll talk to him."

Mina shook her head and looked out to the clouds they were flying through, "Don't bother, he will just ignore you too."

After a few moments of silence Frank spoke again, "You ever fly a plane before? Sit up and put your legs down, I'll show ya."

Disciple and Domino walked up to the hanger at the furthest end of the base. Upon seeing the jet they would be taking when they entered, Domino snorted. Disciple couldn't help but chuckle. Domino put her hands on her hips and tilted her head sideways. He laughed even harder at her pose.

"What?" he asked mockingly innocent and his arms raised to his sides.

She hunched forward and started tapping her foot with a smirk she couldn't help but to have on her face. "This is the old X-Jet The one you persuaded Professor Xavier to let you use and never brought back."

He let out an exaggerated offended gasp. "How dare you? It is not!"

"Yes it is. You just gave it a bad paint job."

"Hey! Don't diss the paint job. I had to persuade a lot of people to do that for me."

They both laughed and got onto the jet. After take off, he turned on the autopilot. "MEL keep course for Stark Towers."

A little red light flashed on the intrument panel every time the automated voice spoke, "Of course, Disciple. Would you like me to alert you when we are an hour out?"

"That'll be good, MEL." He leaned back to admire Domino.

Domino stared at the red light. "That wasn't there before."

"Just a little A.I. upgrade I may or may not have stolen from some Stark tech." he shrugged innocently.

"MEL, open the pod bay doors." Domino joked.

Disciple sat up straight in his seat, "Belay that! Abort! Do not do that MEL!"

She smiled and turned to him. "So once we're done with the X-Jet, what is your plan with it"

He grinned. "Sell it back to them at an unreasonable price."

She shook her head. "This is a big deal. At least I'm not worried. How about you?"

He laughed and leaned towards her. "No I'm not. Because," he began and took a deep breath. "Luck be a lady tonight," he sang.

She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Don't."

He stood up and hovered over her. "Luck be a lady tonight! Luck if you've been a lady to begin with."

She got up to move away before he took her by the hand waist and made her dance with him.

"Luck be a lady tonight! Luck let a gentleman see. Just how nice a dame you can be," he sang while staring at her very plentiful cleavage. She frowned and lifted his head up to look her in the eye and he kept singing. "I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with! Luck be a lady with me!"

He dipped her and brought back up. After he was finished singing, Domino was smiling. She gave him a kiss that he returned.

"I am really happy that we could pick up like no time passed," he said happily.

Domino just smiled. "I love you, Hayward."

He smiled wider. "I love you, Neena."

They shared a passionate kiss and stared into each other's eyes. "Hearing you say that to me again heals my heart and soul in a way the kid never would be able to."

A tear fell from her eye. "Knowing you still love me, means more than luck."

He kissed her again and scooped her up in his arms like his bride and carried her to the back of the plane so they could really prove just how much they loved each other.

"Alright, I'm gonna handle the landing. I'm gonna switch it over to my controls in…. 3…. 2… done." Frank said as he hit the necessary buttons. "You did good for your first time, kid. You sure you never flown before?"

"Nope. There was this video game I played on my laptop a few years back. It was like a flight simulator but still nothing compared to this." She smiled at him, he got her mind off her current relationship troubles.

Frank looked at the radar on his small screen, "Damn… I checked before we left that the weather was gonna be clear. Fucking New York inconsistency."

Mina stood up and started to fold her blanket, while looking out the window and seeing the fog covering the tall buildings she said, "The fog is getting thicker."

She didn't know Ulysses was behind her, he wrapped his arms around her middle and kissed her cheek. "And Leon's getting larger!"

She dropped her blanket and spun around, "YOU'RE CALLING ME FAT AGAIN!"

"No… no. No. No. I was quoting Airplane. You love that movie! I-I…" Ulysses stepped back hesitantly.

Frank reached into the cabinet behind him and pulled out a parachute, throwing it to Ulysses who caught it. "Here. For when she throws your ass out the jet."

"I can't believe you think I'm fat!"

Frank shook his head and grabbed his flask of whiskey, "And that's when Frank's drinking problem began…" he took a swig from his flask instead of splashing it on his face like in the movie and started laughing so hard he shut his eyes and threw his head back.

When the jet finally did land, Ulysses helped Mina step down each of the steps giving her all of his attention while Frank was in charge of the bags and ordering the men around the cargo part of the jet. He walked her to one of the trucks and opened the door for her, not before grabbing her by the waist and bringing her to him.

"Let's have some fun while we're here huh? After the meeting you and I go out to a nice dinner and maybe see a movie?" he bent down and kissed her, cupping her cheek to look up at him.

"Really? No more work? For the rest of the trip?" her eyes lit up with the thought of them finally spending time together.

He shook his head, "After this meeting, I'm all yours. There's this place not too far from the hotel… maybe we can go there after dinner instead, you know for some dessert." He gave her a predatory grin and cupped the back of her neck, bringing her face towards his again for a rougher kiss.

She tugged on his bottom lip with her teeth and giggle, "I might like that."

She turned from him and got in the back seat of the truck, sliding over to give him room to sit down next to her. Usually he sat in the front with Frank but he knew she wanted him back there with her so he got in the backseat with her. She was on him as soon as he closed the door, resting her head on his chest and wrapping her arms around his middle.

When Frank got in the driver seat he sighed, "Finally, something American."

"I know right?!" Mina popped her head up and agreed.

Ulysses grabbed her head and pressed it to his chest again, "Quiet you."

When they pulled into the nearly empty parking garage, Frank followed the other trucks in their caravan up to the sixth floor. It wasn't the roof but it was enough coverage to protect them from potential snipers and authorities from getting a clean shot of any of them. He parked in the center lane between their other four trucks but facing towards the exit they just came from for a quick getaway.

"Stay in the truck kid, it's safer in here. I'm leaving the keys in the ignition. If shit hits the fan I want you to take off and go straight to the jet, wait for us there. If we aren't there by sunrise you know how to fly it, get back to the warehouse and call Domino and Disciple." Frank turned in his seat to give her the specific orders.

Mina nodded her head and squeezed Ulysses' hand, not wanting to be separated from him if things might get dangerous. "Please be safe."

"Bah! None of that shit. She's coming with us. Come on Bokkie, you're safest with me." Ulysses waved his free hand at Frank in dismissal.

He scowled at Ulysses, "It was your bright idea to bring the Punisher to the Kingpin, knowing damn well my history with him!"

Mina's jaw dropped, "HE KNOWS?!" ignoring Ulysses next to her.

"Yes I've always known who Frank is. Why the fuck do YOU know?" He didn't give her a chance to respond, he rounded on Frank again, "You and I talked about this yesterday when I was working in the basement. They need to know I'm in control. This isn't up for discussion, get out and open my fucking door." Ulysses leaned forward in his seat and growled his orders to Frank, gripping the back of the driver's seat hard with his robotic hand. The leather made a strained sound under the pressure.

Frank looked from Ulysses to Mina, giving her a worried look. "Yes, sir." Then got out of the truck and looked around for any potential threats before opening his door.

Mina squeezed Ulysses' hand and put her other to his chest, "Is it… safe? Frank said-"

"I will keep you safe." He pounded his fist to his chest. "Haven't I taken care of you? Nothing is going to happen to you when you're with me."

She thought back to when Marius got attacked and people came after her. When she called him, he dropped everything and rushed to her side immediately. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to doubt you. You're right."

He nudged her forehead with his, making her look up at him. "Nothing will ever happen to you when you're with me. Do you understand?"

He was talking about the times she got in trouble without him. The men in the alley that Frank saved her from, the time she got in the bar fight and of course when she ran off to Piotr.

"Yes, Love." She gave him a small smile and tilted her head into his, rubbing her nose against his.

"Are you getting out any time soon? Or are you gonna make me look like an ass, holding a door for no reason while he's starin' at me?" Frank grunted from outside the truck by the open door.

Without missing a beat Ulysses said, "You look like an ass regardless of the door."

Mina burst in a fit of giggles and snorts, trying to hide her laughter behind her cupped hands. Ulysses got out of the truck first and looked around, "All clear?"

Frank grunted which meant yes. Ulysses held his hand out for Mina, helping her out of the truck and pressing her against the truck. He bent down slightly, hovering his lips above hers and whispered, "Kiss me like you love me."

Ignoring the staring eyes and headlights pointed right at them, she pulled him in by his tie and wrapped her hand around the back of his head. The kiss got heated quickly. He didn't chuckle or joke about it like he usually did, nor did he make a move to grope her to turn it sexual. He kept one hand supporting himself against the truck and the other on her waist.

At first he felt warmth in the center of his chest where her hand was resting over his shirt. It made everything in his head disappear and that tight raging fire inside of him cease to exist. The warmth spread out to the top of his head and down to his feet. When she sucked on the bottom of his lip he sighed softly as the warmth traveled from her lips to his. He'd never felt this before but he knew for certain that it was her love.

"Are you quite done?" a deep booming voice called out.

Ulysses held up a hand for them to wait as he got his fill of her, then brought that hand to her neck and pulled back from her. "Good girl." He winked at her and flashed her a devious smile before pulling her with him towards the other men.

He made sure to keep her on his right side, with his arm around her and giving him the ability to freely use his hand canon if the situation called for it. "Sorry about that, she can't keep her hands off of me. You understand, yeah?" He grinned at the large bald man in the pure white suit as he adjusted himself through his pants.

Kingpin had no interest in Ulysses, nor did he pay any attention to what he said. He was staring right at Mina and tilting his head to the side, trying to get a good look at her from under Ulysses' arm. Mina was also giving him a curious look, like she had seen him somewhere before.

"Wilson?" she asked shyly.

His eyes went wide and his face pale, "Hawkins? Little Mina Hawkins? Shit I haven't seen you in decades! Let me get a look at you."

"You know him?!" Ulysses barked and looked down at her angrily.

"Hawkins and I grew up in the same orphanage." Kingpin explained before Ulysses got the wrong idea.

Mina nodded her head and tried to hide in Ulysses' shoulder. "Yes... he used to bully me back then."

Ulysses' head shot to Kingpin and wrapped his arm tighter around her. Frank was on her other side in an instant, softly speaking to her. "Remember what I told you about the jet. Klaue keeps his .45 in the back of his pants, so do I. Get behind me on my signal."

"We were children. It was just a game." Kingpin laughed and tapped his cane on the concrete twice.

Mina got angry, "You pushed me, kicked me, punched me- you even bit me repetitively to watch me heal myself over and over again."

Ulysses had head enough, no one hurt his girl in the past, present or future. Never. Frank had the same idea because his guns were drawn by the time Ulysses' hand cannon was pointed at the crime boss of Hell's Kitchen. "Mina. Behind." Frank ordered her.

The larger man didn't move or order his men to act. He remained calm and looked at Mina who had tucked herself closer to Ulysses instead of behind Frank. Ignoring the many guns pointed at him, "You're right. I was quite the terror back then. You have to understand, my father had just died and my mother was struggling to keep me. But as you can see... I've become civilized. I apologize, Hawkins. For everything that I put you through. Can we put this behind us and carry on with business?"

Mina shook her head and looked up at him, even though he was twenty feet away she had to look up. "No. I don't have to accept your apology. Because it's not alright. I ran away from the orphanage because of you, I was willing to take my chances on the streets by myself than wait for a family to adopt me if it meant I had to continue to go through the hell you put me through. I will not say it's okay because then that means that you could do it again to someone else. It's not! It's not okay!"

Mina was so angry that she was crying. Turning away from Wilson Fisk and burying her head in Ulysses chest with her arms around his middle. Ulysses had a lot of emotions running through him, and they were all telling him to kill this man and protect his girl.

"I heard of a healing mutant that got tangled up with Klaue. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it was you. How naive I was to think you weren't one of a kind." He chuckled and tapped his cane on the pavement again. "And the Punisher! My… my… you've got yourself a little collection of them haven't you? I heard you had Disciple and Domino as well. After you killed Colossus in a one on one fight over her."

"Don't get any fucking ideas. She's mine." Ulysses growled and squeezed her tighter to his chest.

"I wouldn't dream of it Klaue. The love of my life waits for me in my penthouse. Though I would be lying if I said a part of me wasn't jealous, with her little powers I would no longer have a need for Viagra." A few of the men laughed but Ulysses and Frank kept their anger and guns pointed at him. "Although I have to say, your recent accomplishments are quite impressive. Watch your back. You've drawn so much attention to yourself that you've been put at the top of the list."

"That a threat?" Frank stepped forward in front of Mina and Ulysses with his guns pointed at the man's face.

"One who's been down that path would before… just offering a word of advice. That's all."

Mina looked up to Ulysses with tears running down her face, "I want to go home. Please… I want to go home. Take me home."

Nothing could ever break his heart before seeing her beg him like that. "No deal." He looked up at the man who hurt her when she was younger and repeated himself but louder this time. "NO DEAL."

Frank whistled loudly and circled a finger in the air to his men, "Wrap it up."

"You're making a mistake, Klaue."

"She isn't comfortable with you so neither am I. Get your guns elsewhere." Ulysses called over his shoulder as he led Mina back to the truck with Frank watching their six.

"KLAUE! Don't do this! I'll double my price!"

"I'm choosing between work and love. You understand… Wilson."

When they got back in the truck he looked at Frank in the rearview mirror and put his hand on his shoulder, "You know what to do."

Frank knows exactly what to do. He had to kill Kingpin.

"We make a damn good team, Neena!" Disciple shouted excitedly. "Klaue is definitely going to like just how well that deal went."

Domino kissed him. "I know we do. I wouldn't have any other partner to have done it with."

"So, what do we do next?" he asked.

She gave a small shrug. "We get married, settle down and perhaps raise a family after we're done with this job?"

He was taken aback hearing that. He took a moment to gather his thoughts and decided to address her comments one at a time and in order. She smiled and leaned forward with her eyebrows raised. Waiting for an answer. He turned the autopilot back on so he could face her and have a conversation.

"Do you mean that?" he asked.

"Yes," she answered as if the answer was obvious.

He locked eyes with her and remained still. "You really want to get married, Neena? Even though we were apart for six years and only just got back together?"

Domino leaned closer to him. "We have both admitted that we never fell out of love with one another. Even after all this time. We're definitely at ease with each other and I am being honest, even when I was with Cable and Logan, I could never see a future with them. Whenever I saw myself at the alter, I could only ever see you standing with me. You can't tell me you didn't feel the same."

Disciple nodded. "You're not wrong, my love. I spent the last six years always wishing I had married you when you wanted to settle down. I always told myself I wouldn't let you go ever again if I got you back."

She grunted frustrated. "Then why did you ask about this?"

He smiled. "Because I wanted to make sure you were serious. I am not opposed to getting married."

There was a gleam in her eye but anxiety on her face when she asked her next question. "What about starting a family?"

He became lost in thought for a moment. "In due time. Right now though, is not the best time."

She put her hands up. "Of course I don't mean, right now! Even though with your recent actions I would think you wanted children as soon as possible," she said with a slight grin.

"What do you mean?" he asked casually.

She snorted. "Let's see, the fact that we haven't exactly been careful with using protection or that fact that every time we have gone it, you've blown your load in me? I still feel your little disciples' swimming in me."

"Hey, when they walked in on us in the office, you're the one that kept going while in my lap. Wouldn't have been possible to have nonchalantly pulled out," he tried to reply without laughing.

"I wonder if Frank caught on. It was not easy keeping composure when you filled me up again while they all watched. Even though it was exciting," she said while giggling. She then returned the conversation to it's serious matter. "Lucky for you, the last thing we need right now is a child while we work for Klaue. I'm using my powers to keep from getting pregnant but it doesn't stop me from hoping this job is done soon so we can get started."

"What if the job doesn't end or the kid beats us to it?"

"Then when I know I can be sure that Klaue won't bring her harm and that we'll keep in touch, I'll resign. If Mina gets pregnant before me, good for her. It'll be good to know that she got that comfortable with the man she is with."

Disciple shifted uncomfortably. "Are you sure that it could still happen if we try? We're not exactly young anymore, Neena."

She smiled. "Only mathematically, Hayward. Thanks to the serum we both were injected with from the Weapon X scientist, our bodies are still young and viral," she said and rubbed her stomach. "And my OB recently confirmed that."

Disciple put his hand on her leg. "I promise that once we're done with Klaue, the only mutants I'll hide will be us and we'll have our own Lucky Followers."

He looked at her for a long moment before adding, "As long as I don't have to keep looking over my shoulder for your EX-FORCE-FRIENDS." Making a jab at her past relationship with Deadpool and Cable, also at them trying to kill him in the past.

"Oh please, they are so over you. Last I heard they were causing a bunch of shit in Vegas and were on the numero Uno X-Men shit list for it.."

*Disciple looks directly at the readers with an intense stare. Domino winks at the readers. 4th wall has been broken. Civilizations are crumbling. DEADPOOL IS COMING*

Disciple snorts and hold up two fingers, "I already came twice."
