(Here's the next chapter, y'all. Hope it's one to remember.)

Death Fury: Thanks.

Noble Six: Thanks.

The Timeless Writer: I know, doesn't make me feel any better about it. He didn't make all of it, but he was a figurehead and an icon of meaningful stories…he will be/is missed. Up to you, but I feel like you'll be missing out. Hope they include the full length He Lives In You song, amazing song.

Chapter 53: A Lion's Heart

(Alkali Lake Weapon X Base, outside, moments later)

Laura grunted as Sabretooth tightened his grip around her throat and slowly continued to push his claws into her torso. Wolverine watched from a distance, horrified and terrified.

"Laura…no…" He gasped in fear and pain, still rattled from Sabretooth tossing him.

"Ah, now that was a scream. Heh heh. That'll bring the boy running." Sabretooth chuckled.

"I…gagh!...won't let you hurt him." Laura hissed.

"Oh please, as if you'll be able to after I tear out your heart." Sabretooth scoffed.

He pulled out the claws from her torso, receiving a snarl of pain from Laura. He pulls back that hand, leveling it with the center of her chest. Laura snarls as she jabs with her right claws, stabbing him in his left shoulder. Sabretooth growled in pain, his grip gone. Laura dropped to the ground and kicked out with her left foot, sending Sabretooth skidding back. His shoulder heals from the wound, but the blood turns cold as more snow falls.

"You'll pay for that." Sabretooth hissed.

All of Laura claws popped out.

"I look forward to it." Laura scoffed.

The two rushed at one another. White Tiger is helping Spider-Man off the ground, who is groaning in pain.

"Agh…damn…never thought this would happen." Spider-Man groaned.

"Yeah, well, you still need to get your ass up." White Tiger grunted.

"You all seem to keep me on my feet." Spider-Man said.

"Part of what I do, Web Head." White Tiger chuckled.

They smiled under their masks and rushed towards Sabretooth, stopping and grimacing to see Deadpool's body crawling towards his head.

"Huh? Oh guys! You should've seen it! There was a Father-Daughter Team Up move like the Logan movie last chapter! It was so sweet! The way Laura just jumped up and-" Deadpool chittered excitedly.

"Deadpool! What happened to you?" Spider-Man asked, trying not to vomit.

"Oh…right…Sabretooth ripped my head of…trying to get my body to pick my head and place it back on." Deadpool sighed.

"Right…ok…" Spider-Man stuttered, still thrown off.

"Hey! You two need to get over there and help the dynamic duo! Go!" Deadpool stated.

"Right." White Tiger said, nodding.

The two rushed off.

"Come on…come on…" Deadpool muttered, his body getting closer.

Laura snarled as she slashed her right claws, cutting at Sabretooth's right side, receiving a growl of pain from him. Sabretooth raised his right hand, but suddenly webbing snapped onto it.

"What?!" Sabretooth hissed.

"We're not outta the game yet!" Spider-Man yelled.

Sabretooth turned his head, only to see White Tiger punching him across the face.

"You still have to deal with us!" White Tiger added, eyes narrowed with anger.

"Fine by ME!" Sabretooth snarled, grabbing the webbing and pulling it with the last word.

Sabretooth laughed as Spider-Man flew at him, who cried in panic. Sabretooth caught him by his right shoulder.

"Uhh…hi." Spider-Man whimpered.

Sabretooth grins, his fangs bared in a terrible smile. Spider-Man gulps nervously.

(Oh no…I really am going to die…please…no…)

"LET HIM GO!" White Tiger roared, slashing her claws across Sabretooth's face.

"Oh, defending your little squeeze, huh? I know a bitch in heat when I smell one." Sabretooth scoffed.

"YOU BASTARD!" White Tiger bellowed, slashing his face again.

Sabretooth growled in pain. Swings his arms back, but White Tiger ducks under the strike then jabs with her left claws. The claws dig into his torso. Sabretooth grunts in pain. He then throws Spider-Man at White Tiger, who catches him. They both hit the ground yet White Tiger keeps hold of Spider-Man.

"T-Tiger…get out of here…he'll…" Spider-Man whimpered.

"We've fought Dr. Doom and survived, this prick doesn't have what it takes to beat us." White Tiger scoffed.

"Dr. Doom is bad, I agree with you on that, girl. But I'm worse." Sabretooth laughed, letting her see every one of his fangs.

"You're not the only wild cat here, Sabretooth." White Tiger scoffed.

"But I'm the baddest cat in town." Sabretooth laughed.

White Tiger puts an arm over Spider-Man's torso, protecting him.

"Tiger…I…" Spider-Man gasped.

"We're not dead yet. And you can tell me later. I look forward to hearing it." White Tiger said.

"Cute, but not worth a damn." Sabretooth laughed.

"We're not done, Creed!" Another voice called out.

Sabretooth turned to see Wolverine lunging at him. Using his right shoulder, he slammed into Sabretooth's chest and sent him falling to the ground a few feet away.

"How's Web Head?" Wolverine asked.

"He's hurt." White Tiger said, her voice a mix of anger and concern.

"Sabretooth's no one to take lightly. Get him out of here!" Wolverine ordered.

"No…can't leave." Spider-Man said, his voice weak.

"You're gonna get yourself killed. Go!" Wolverine snarled.

Wolverine turned when he heard a snap. Sabretooth launched a deadwood log at him. Wolverine slashed with all his claws, cutting the metal into pieces. Sabretooth raced forward.

"Let's go, bub! Hrraah!" Wolverine grunted and growled, racing towards his nemesis.

They lunge at one another, slashing and snarling.

"Maybe he's right…maybe I should get you out of here." White Tiger said.

"N-No…all the death…to what end…we're…we're supposed…to be heroes." Spider-Man gasped.

"What good does that do you if you're dead?" White Tiger asked.

"I'm going enjoy gutting you, runt!" Sabretooth bellowed.

They turned to see Sabretooth and Wolverine really cutting loose and each other apart. Blood splatters the ground as their claws rip and tear at each others' flesh. The snarls and screams fill the cold air.

"Once I'm done with you, I'm gonna gut your pretty little clone. How's that sound?" Sabretooth taunted then punched Wolverine.

Wolverine instinctively snarled in return, making a sound Wolverine had made very few times. Before he could realize it, he landed on a rock…or more accurately his head landed on the rock, making an awful cracking sound. Wolverine laid there, seemingly unconscious.

"No." Deadpool gasped in fear from where he was, his body still trying to reach him.

"Runt." Sabretooth grunted, eyes still on Wolverine.

He turned his head, hearing footfalls, to see Laura rushing at him. She leaps up and kicks out, her right foot claw slashing his chest and leaving a red line. Sabretooth grunts in pain. He snarls as he turns to her.

"I'll kill you!" Sabretooth hissed, eyes blazing.

A roar stopped the tension. Everyone turned to see two familiar glowing orange eyes piercing through the now heavy snow fall. Death Cat walked into view, claws and fangs bared.

"You're not gonna do a damn thing to her." Death Cat snarled.

"Heh heh, couldn't save your mother now you think you can protect your little squeeze, huh?" Sabretooth mocked.

"She doesn't need my protection." Death Cat scoffed.

A growl sounded out behind Sabretooth. He turned to see Laura leap at him, jabbing her hand claws into his torso. Sabretooth growled in pain. Her foot claws retracted as she pulled her hand claws out of her foe's torso. She jumped back with a flip, slamming her feet into Sabretooth's jaws and receiving a crack. Sabretooth snarled in pain and frustration. Laura snarled at him yet ran to Wolverine again.

"I barely even remember my mother, all because of you." Death Cat spat.

"Oh I've killed a lot of women, boy. Your mother was only one." Sabretooth scoffed.

Spider-Man gasped at that.

"White Tiger!" Death Cat called out.

She turned to look at him.

"The heads of Weapon X are alive…it's possible they might try to escape; they're just knocked out." Death Cat stated.

"W-Wait…does that…" White Tiger said, confused.

"You…You mean you gave up your vend-" Spider-Man added.

"Hell no…but…I…I came because…" Death Cat stammered.

"You heard Wolverine's clone scream. Heh, just like the runt. Always trying to save the damsel." Sabretooth mocked, rubbing the blood off his face.

"She's no damsel, she's been kicking your ass. My mother did the same thing." Death Cat scoffed.

"Yet, who walked out of the trailer?" Sabretooth mocked.

Death Cat snarled, baring his fangs.

"That's right, let the animal out. Be who the runt never could be." Sabretooth chuckled.

"You don't know much about animals do you? They are fierce when they want to be, they don't kill for pleasure. Last I checked, only humans do that. You're more man than animal." Death Cat retorted.

Sabretooth rolled his eyes. White Tiger looked at her amulet, confusion reigning in her mind. Spider-Man watched the father and son face off.

"Yet here you are, aiming to kill me for killing your mother…and to take pleasure out of it." Sabretooth scoffed.

"Not to take pleasure out of. To avenge my mother, and everyone you've ever hurt." Death Cat retorted.

"Come then, boy. Come to papa." Sabretooth chuckled, claws twitching and fangs grinning.

Death Cat's eyes narrowed, fangs and claws bared. They both glare at one another and begin circling one another. They exchange growls and snarls, blazing eyes locked on another. Death Cat's mind runs with thoughts and memories, most dominantly Sabretooth attacking his mother. They continued to circle one another, the others watching with various emotions.

(I'm Not Buried Yet by Aram Zero plays)

"Hrrrah!" Sabretooth snarled, racing forward.

"Rrrrahh!" Death Cat growled in response, charging.

They lunged at one another, eyes wide with fury, claws nearing one another, and mouths open with their fangs in full view as they growled. The impact was made. Sabretooth and Death Cat hit each other full force. Neither of them were able to force the other to the ground. They snarled as they tore at each others' flesh. Sabretooth's snarls were mixed with laughs. Death Cat's eyes narrowed in hatred, snarling the whole time.

"It's a lost cause, boy. The runt can't take me down, never has and never will. What makes you think will take me down? You're just gonna get whupped!" Sabretooth scoffed, trading slashes from his claws for punches.

Death Cat pushed aside a punch from Sabretooth's right fist with his left hand then used a Tiger Claw Strike to Sabretooth's face. Sabretooth grunted in surprise. Death Cat hissed, twirling around Sabretooth then slammed his right elbow into Sabretooth's back. Sabretooth grunted as he quickly turned, throwing out his left hand and gripped Death Cat's right shoulder. Sabretooth threw his right fist forward, punching Death Cat's chest. Death Cat grunted in frustration.

"Like I said: whupped." Sabretooth grunted.

"I'm gonna kill you." Death Cat hissed.

"Not likely, boy." Sabretooth hissed, punching his chest again.

Death Cat growled as he lunged up, uppercutted Sabretooth in an instant. Sabretooth growled in frustration and surprise. Sabretooth growled as he fell on his back. He picked his upper half up from the ground. Sabretooth chuckled as he picked himself off the ground.

"There you go, boy. Most natural thing in the world. This ain't fighting. This ain't even killing." Sabretooth stated, a wicked grin on his face.

Death Cat lunged forward, claws out to either side of him. Sabretooth bends on one knee, both claws hands lowered to knee level.

"This is just playing." Sabretooth chuckled, the grin growing even wider.

Laura is trying to wake Wolverine, having already moved him off the rock. She is trying to shake him. She looks out of the corner of her, seeing Death Cat and Sabretooth tearing at one another.

"Get up, Wolverine…come on…get up! Logan…please…Lucas is in trouble…Ava…Wade…even that fucking insect…we need your help!" Laura grunted, frustration filling her voice.

Wolverine wouldn't wake up. Laura hits his chest with her fists.

"Come on you bastard." Laura snarled.

White Tiger is holding Spider-Man.

"Tiger, get out of here…before Sabretooth-" Spider-Man gasped.

"Don't even try it. We have to get back into the fight." White Tiger scoffed.

"I…I've never seen a fight like this, Tiger. S-So much rage…and blood…it's…I'm.." Spider-Man gasped.

"You're afraid, it's alright. It's instinct. You've face cosmic level beings, far more powerful than Sabretooth…but this…this is instinct…primal." White Tiger explained.

Death Cat growled as he slashed his claws, leaving five red lines across Sabretooth's chest. Sabretooth snarled in pain. Sabretooth did the same to him, receiving a similar growl from Death Cat. But the growls of pain were far less prevalent than their roaring and bellowing. If one weren't seeing the action themselves, they'd believe two big cats were locked in a duel to the death…well…they'd be partly right.

"Come on, kid! You can do this!" Deadpool cried out, cheering on Death Cat, his body still trying to get to his head.

Death Cat growled as he jabbed Sabretooth's chest then followed up with a haymaker, striking Sabretooth's face. Sabretooth growled in anger as he threw punches of his own. Death Cat dodged his attacks. Sabretooth growled as he swiped his right hand, which slammed into a nearly dead tree. Sabretooth snarled, trying to pull his hand back yet they were stuck. Sabretooth grunted as he tried to pull them out.

"HA! He's stuck!" Deadpool laughed.

Sabretooth growled as he snatched another part of the tree with his other hand. He bellowed as he slowly yet surely began pulling the tree out.

"GET HIM, KID! GET HIM!" Deadpool shouted.

Death Cat grunted as he began to lunge at him. Sabretooth snarled as he slammed his non-stuck hand back, slamming into Death Cat's face. Death Cat grunted as he stumbled a foot or two back. Sabretooth yelled as he pulled the tree out of the ground.

"Batter up!" Sabretooth grunted, swinging the tree and hitting Death Cat.

Death Cat growled as he flew back and slammed into a tree then fell, hitting the ground.

"Oh no." Deadpool gasped.

Death Cat grunted as he started to get up, bloody dripping from his soaking costume. Sabretooth chuckled as he put the tree down. He panted yet chuckled. He approached Death Cat.

"Lucas!" White Tiger shouted.

Death Cat looked up and grunted as he got onto his feet, swiping his right hand. Sabretooth stops the attack by grabbing his wrist. Sabretooth backhands Death Cat with his free hand. Sabretooth then snatches him around the throat with that same hand while walking in the previous direction he walked. Death Cat grunts as he claws at Sabretooth's arm. Sabretooth grins as he lifts him up then impales Death Cat on one of the large roots of the tree. Death Cat roars in anger and pain.

(The music ends)

"LUCAS!" Laura cries out.

"KID!" Deadpool screams.

White Tiger and Spider-Man gasp in horror. Laura looks down at Wolverine.

"We need you…please." Laura whispered.

Laura runs.

"Hmm, how does it feel, boy?" Sabretooth chuckled, grinning.

"Screw you." Death Cat grunted.

"Damn you." Sabretooth snarled, raising his right hand.

A roaring scream shot out. Sabretooth turned to see Laura charging at him, hand claws out. Laura jumps onto Sabretooth's back, flips to his left side and throws him to the ground. She grunts as she hits the ground. Sabretooth snarls as he scrambles towards her, but she kicks out with both feet. He grunts as his face hits the floor yet lunges towards her. Laura snarls as she stabs into his torso, directly into the right side of Sabretooth's ribcage. Laura then kicks out with her right foot, knocking Sabretooth onto his back. She growls as she lunges on top of him. She straddles him and begins jabbing her claws into Sabretooth's chest. Her hair flies back and forth as the claws from either hand take turns jabbing into the villain. Blood flies and Sabretooth growls in pain.

(Overpowered by Phantom Power Music, and Vivien Chebbah plays)

"L-Laura!" Death Cat grunts, watching the event.

Wolverine grunts as he slowly regains conscience.

"Go Laura! Tear him apart!" Deadpool yells, his voice recognizable yet somewhat audible to Wolverine.

His vision starts to clear and he sees a few things: Deadpool's head and body separated with the second trying to reach the other, Spider-Man severely injured with White Tiger protecting him, Laura ferociously stabbing Sabretooth, and to his anger he sees Death Cat trying to free himself from being impaled on a huge dead root.

'I'm gonna gut you, Creed.' Wolverine grunted.

Laura snarls as she keeps stabbing Sabretooth. Sabretooth snarls in pain. He then grunts as he punches her torso then swiftly jabs his claws into her torso then throws her off. Laura growls as she scrambles on the ground, trying to get to Sabretooth. Sabretooth swats her with his left hand, hitting her face and knocking her to the ground. Wolverine's eyes narrow in anger as he tries to pick himself up. Sabretooth snarls as he gets onto his feet and grabs Laura's throat with both hands. He lifts her off the ground.)

"Now, boy, watch me kill your little bitch like how I killed your bitch mother." Sabretooth mocked, grinning and not even looking at Death Cat.

"KID!" Deadpool cried out.

"No." White Tiger and Spider-Man gasped in unison.

"LAURA!" Death Cat cried out, trying to get himself off the root.

Laura grunts as she grabs Sabretooth's hands, trying to pry them away. Sabretooth laughs as he tightens his grip. Laura grunts and growls, trying to shake free. Sabretooth then stars digging his claws into her neck. Laura screams in pain. Wolverine's eyes widen in horror.

'Laura…no…no…not again…never again!' Wolverine gasped and growled in his mind.

His eyes narrow in rage, glowing red as he picks himself off the ground. He then starts racing towards Sabretooth and leaps into the air. Sabretooth turns back when he hears growling, grumbling. His eyes lock onto Wolverine in the air.

"CLAWS OFF MY DAUGHTER, CREED!" Wolverine roared, extruding his claws.

Laura's eyes widen in surprise. Wolverine tackles Sabretooth to the ground, claws jabbing into his back. Sabretooth growls in pain, his grip gone. Laura gasps, hands around her throat as she coughs. Everyone watches Wolverine slashing at Sabretooth. Wolverine roars as he doesn't let up, repeatedly slashing his claws. Sabretooth snarled in pain. His eyes widen in anger and surprise. Few times he'd seen Wolverine so angry. Sabretooth's anger turned to excitement and he started laughing. He then grabs Wolverine's wrists.

"Ha! That's the spirit! Come on!" Sabretooth laughed.

Wolverine snarled as he head-butted Sabretooth.

"Shut up." Wolverine snarled.

They slashed at one another, snarling as blood continued to fly. A blizzard began picking up. Wolverine and Sabretooth snarled as they kept ripping at one another, claws drawing and slinging blood across the snowy ground. Laura gasped then growled as she raced at Sabretooth. She lunged forward, slashing her right claws and leaving two red lines across Sabretooth's back. Sabretooth snarled in pain. Spit flew from his jaws, he slashed and ripped with his claws at Wolverine and Laura.

"Hahaha! This is more like it! RRaggh!" Sabretooth laughed and snarled, slashing with both claws.

(The music ends)

The blizzard began to intensify. Spider-Man shivered. White Tiger held him tightly.

"W-We gotta…stop..." Spider-Man stammered.

"You're freezing. My priority is keeping you alive. So I'm not leaving you, understand?" White Tiger grunted.

"U-Unders-s-stood-d." Spider-Man gasped, holding onto her.

Death Cat grunted as he continued to try to pull him up from the root. He watched as Wolverine and Laura battled Sabretooth. The mutant hybrid snarled and slashed with his claws behind him. He cut the root from the tree. He dropped onto his side, grunting in pain. He looked up, eyes slightly shaking. Sabretooth laughed as he grabbed and threw a rock at Wolverine and Laura. The rock smashed into both of them, sending them tumbling back. They grunted in pain, blood and bruises covering them. Sabretooth chuckled as he grabbed the rock again and smashed on top of them. He held the rock down, forcing more pressure on both of them.

'No.' Death Cat gasped in his mind.

He grabbed the cut off part of the root sticking out of his back and starts to pull it out. He snarls in pain. The mutant hybrid pulls the entire cut off root out and tosses away. Snarling in pain, he picks himself off the ground. He grunts as he stumbles towards Sabretooth. White Tiger, Spider-Man, and Deadpool watch with surprise.

(None Shall Live Extended by Two Steps From Hell plays)

"SABRETOOTH!" Death Cat bellows.

Sabretooth grunts as he turns to look at the bloodied mutant hybrid. Wolverine and Laura look at Death Cat with worry.

"LET'S FINISH THIS!" Death Cat shouted.

"GLADLY!" Sabretooth yelled back, lunging towards him.

Sabretooth swipes with his right hand, slashing Death Cat's face.

"You've been a pain in my ass long enough!" Sabretooth snarled.

"The feeling's mutual, 'dad'!" Death Cat scoffed, retaliating with his own swipe.

Sabretooth growled in frustration. He snatched Death Cat's throat and shoved his face into the ground.

"This is pathetic, I thought my own flesh and blood would put up a better fight than this. You're too much like your bitch mother!" Sabretooth scoffed.

Death Cat snarled in anger, leaping up and biting Sabretooth's left shoulder. Sabretooth bellowed in pain. He grabbed the scruff of Death Cat's neck and pulled him off. Blood oozed from the wound. Sabretooth head-butted Death Cat, who fell on his back.

"You little shit! I'm gonna send you to hell." Sabretooth snarled walking towards Death Cat.

"Maybe, but I've got a feeling, a real sick feeling that we're gonna be sharing a room down there together." Death Cat scoffed, eyes filling with even more hatred as he glared at Sabretooth.

"You ain't got the stuff to kill me. Because once I'm done with you, every one of your friends on this mountain will die." Sabretooth scoffed and mocked.

Death Cat lunged upwards with a ferocious roar, uppercutting Sabretooth and sending him flying back. Sabretooth grunted and snarled as he picked himself up. His eyes locked onto Death Cat, whose head is down. His head rises and his eyes are glowing red. Death Cat races forward and punches Sabretooth, sending him tumbling back. Sabretooth lunges at him, slashing his claws. Death Cat growled as he returned the slashes, the two tore at one another's flesh. Wolverine and Laura grunt as they retract their claws and grip the boulder. Deadpool, put back together, helps them push off the boulder.

"Come on! They're heading towards a cliff!" Deadpool shouted.

"No!" Laura shouted.

The trio rushed in the direction of the brawling foes. White Tiger and Spider-Man saw them running by.

"T-Tiger…we gotta…follow them." Spider-Man said.

"Are you…alright. Let's go." White Tiger replied.

They followed behind them and caught up with them. Death Cat and Sabretooth are fighting several feet away from the mountain's cliff edge.

"C'mon kid! Take 'em down!" Deadpool shouted.

Death Cat and Sabretooth pant, tongues lolled out of their mouths and blood dripping from every limb. Sabretooth grins.

"Doesn't matter…I'm still gonna gut them all. Just like I did to your mother." Sabretooth laughed.

Death Cat grunted as he swiped with his right claws. Sabretooth caught his wrist and backhanded him, sending him tumbling back and hitting a tree. Wolverine and Deadpool shouted as they charged forward. Sabretooth snarled as he slashed at them. Laura, White Tiger, and Spider-Man rush to him. Death Cat grunts as he sits up and lays his back against the wall, eyes their normal orange color.

"Lucas! Are you ok?" Laura gasped.

"Urgh…been better." Death Cat grunted.

"Lucas…your…" White Tiger gasped.

"How are you all?" Death Cat asked.

"Been better." Spider-Man grunted.

Death Cat stared at him, seemingly trying to hold himself together with White Tiger's help.

"Sabretooth...I've never seen him like this…when Wolvie and I fought him…he…" Spider-Man gasped.

"He's in a frenzy." White Tiger replied.

"We have to end this…I don't know how much longer we'll be able to do this." Spider-Man grunted.

Laura placed a hand on Death Cat's masked face.

"You ok?" Death Cat gasped.

"I'll be better when this is over. That bastard needs to be taken down, once and for all." Laura grunted.

"You see boy! I can't lose! Your friends will never be free! They're all going to die!" Sabretooth laughed, slashing and ripping at his foes.

Sabretooth growls and cackles, swatting aside Wolverine and Deadpool which sent them tumbling back. He approaches the rest of them, claws dripping with blood, his fanged smile widening as he grins. White Tiger and Laura growl at him.

"It's over, boy. They all die now. Make sure to say hello to your mother for me, in hell." Sabretooth chuckled, seemingly slowly raising one hand.

Death Cat looked up at him and jumped up, uppercutting him and sending him skidding a few feet away from the edge of the cliff. He grunts as he stands up. He turns to look at the others.

"Tiger, take care of the bug." Death Cat stated.

"Huh? What are you-?" Spider-Man grunted, confused.

"Wait…are you…?" White Tiger gasped.

Laura looks at Death Cat.

"I'm sorry, Laura." Death Cat states.

"L-Lucas? What are you-?" Laura grunts.

"I…I love you." Death Cat stammered, cheeks blushing madly.

Laura's eyes widen in shock.

"You…" Laura gasped.

"Goodbye." Death Cat states, tears rolling down his face.

Death Cat turns to Sabretooth, eyes once again blazing and glowing red. He lets out a great lion-like roar and charges. He races on all fours, just like a lion. Sabretooth's eyes widen. Death Cat continues to roar the whole time and roars when he lunges at Sabretooth, arms wrapping around him and jaws snatching his throat. They both fall of the cliff. White Tiger and Spider-Man cover their mouths, eyes widening, to shocked to utter a word.

"NO!" Deadpool yells.

"KID!" Wolverine shouts.

"LUCAS!" Laura screams.

Sabretooth screams as he and Death Cat fall into the dark abyss below them.

(The music ends)

The group gathers around the cliff's edge. Deadpool lowers his head. Laura begins crying and almost runs into Wolverine, who wraps his arms around her.

"D-Dad…he…he…" Laura sobbed, despair filling her voice.

"I know, Laura…I know…" Wolverine shushed, doing his best to comfort her.

"He…He…" White Tiger gasped.

"There…wasn't any hesitation. Why? Why did he do it?" Spider-Man gasped.

"He cared, kid. He wasn't going to let anything else happen to us." Wolverine replied.

"He…He'll heal from that…won't he?" Spider-Man stuttered.

"I hate to say it…but no…from the wounds he'd been dealt…and the looks of that fall…I fear that was his last act." Wolverine replied.

"So he…he died…he died to…" Spider-Man gasped.

"He died to save us." White Tiger finished for him.

"He had the stones to willingly jump off a cliff, to die…to save us…goodbye, kid. No matter what anyone says…you were a hero." Wolverine said.

Deadpool is unusually quiet, being silent for what just happened.

"Maybe…Maybe I was wrong about him." Spider-Man gasped.

"Maybe we both were." White Tiger added.

The group is silent for some time.

"Goodbye, Lucas." Laura whispered, eyes still closed and tears rolling down her face.

To be continued…

(I hope this chapter was enjoyable…or at least memorable.)
