In Star Wars lightsabers are basically colour coded. Bad guys got red and god guys got blue. This is the standard. There are other colours and often this means that the lightsaber is special or unique in some way.


The next day Peter pov


Looking through the leftover wreckage of and old space ship Peter grins to himself as he manages to find some useful parts. He has always loved to rummage among the different piles of old machines at the junkyard. There's always some treasures hiding among the broken parts.

Jumping at a sudden sharp whistle Peter hits his shoulder before poking his head out of the wreckage to look around. Quickly spotting the bright red of Deadpool who's sitting on an old chassis. Immediately Peter tries to untangles himself from the broken ship.

Grinning at Peter's struggle Deadpool jumps down from the chassis. "Got a surprise for you." Holding up what looks like a clunky lightsaber it takes a moment before Peter recognizes it.

"Is that my old prototype?" Jumping out of the ship he dusts himself off, wiping the oil off of his hands as best he can.

"I borrowed it from your room." Flipping it up into his hand by the lanyard he waves it slightly. "It had the same weird buttons on it as yours."

Raising an eyebrow at the borrowed claim, Peter shakes his head slightly, choosing to ignore that little detail he concentrating on the prototype. "Well, it's one of my first modified lightsabers."

"So..." Glancing between the clumsy lightsaber and the apprentice, Deadpool raises an eyebrow. "Does it work?"

"You're in luck, it does. One of few that didn't explode."

Brows disappearing up into his non exciting hairline the Sith sounds intrigued. "Explode?"

"The plasma had a tendency to destabilize and kind of..." Gesturing with his hands Peter mimics a small explosion with accompanied frizzle and boom sound effects.

"Oh." Glancing down at the lightsaber prototype the Sith shrugs. "Well, then, lucky me." Activating the lightsaber he pouts, looking disappointed.

Worried Peter walks up to the other."What's wrong?"

Sighing dramatically Deadpool looks at the plasma in despair. "Should have known it would be blue."

Grinning Peter steps closer to him. "Actually." Reaching for the prototype he presses some buttons on the handle and the color of the plasma changes to a bright red.

Jaw dropping Deadpool stares wide eyed between Peter and the lightsaber. "What did you do?"

Smiling at the other reaction Peter shrugs. "I wanted to be able to change the color of my lightsaber."

Meeting Peter's eyes Deadpool meaningfully looks to the lightsaber then back to him. "To red?"

Irritated Peter crosses his arms defensively. "It was before I got to know that they're apparently color coded."

Looking away in mock surrender Deadpool hums."Sure~"

"Stop it. Red's my favorite color, okay. I just wanted my lightsaber to look like I wanted."

Huffing Peter takes out his own lightsaber and activates it. "Now: wanna spare or not?"

Grinning Deadpool takes a stance. "Bring it, Baby-Jedi."

..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..

Somehow managing to corner the Sith, Peter remembers something from their first meeting. Frowning he lowers his lightsaber slightly. "How did you disappear that first time we met?"

"Huh?" Not ready for the out of nowhere question Deadpool lowers his lightsaber as well. Confused it takes a minute for him to figure out what the other is referring to.

"Oh, I've got a teleport belt."

Curious the apprentice looks the other over for the belt. "Where is it?"

Scratching his chin Deadpool nonchalantly says, "Kinda broke in the wash."

Choking on air Peter looks at him with unbelieving eyes. "What?!"

Waving a hand dismissively the Sith shrugs. "Forgot to take it off before chucking my things in the wash. It kinda broke from it."

Peter can't believe what he's hearing. Gesturing wildly he looks at Deadpool as if he's insane. "You broke a state of the art teleportation belt by chucking it into the wash? What's wrong with you?!"

"Many things, baby-Jedi." Eyes turning dark there's something sharp in the other's smile as he looks at the apprentice.

Swallowing Peter suddenly remembers that he's talking to a Sith. Glancing away he looks up at the sky and sees that the sun's move low. "Eh, um, I need to get back."

Stepping back he turns away from the other. "See you some other time, Deadpool."

"Until next time, baby-Jedi."

Resisting the urge to hurry his step Peter tries to ignore the eyes he feels following him across the junkyard.
