Missy gave a groan.
Her head pounded like crazy, feeling like she had just gone ten rounds in boxing ring.
She blinked her eyes open, feeling woozy and disorientated.
It was then and only then, did she remember who she had seen in her living room.
It had not been Deadpool after all, but instead another man had emerged from the shadows…
And before Missy had even been able to say a word, she had been hit over the back of the head and blacked out.
She blinked a couple of times, gazing around…
It was daytime now, and Missy found herself on some sort of rooftop, with her hands lashed tightly to a metal pole.
She was still dressed in her, now-dusty work clothes, made up of a dark pencil skirt and white blouse, with nothing but high heels on her feet.
But her heart began to pound, and her eyes darted this way and that, desperately….
"Oh, morning beautiful'," said a sudden male voice from her side, as a hand grabbed her face roughly.
It was a British voice and Missy raised her gaze skyward, staring directly up at the man she had seen only last night. The man that had been standing in the darkness.
He was medium build and muscular, with a shaved head and a unfaltering smirk.
A woman stood beside him, with short dark hair and her strong hand on Missy's face, her own features fixed into a tight grimace.
"You can let go now, Angel," said the man, placing his hand to the woman's forearm gently. "I think Melissa probably has a pounding headache to contend with, right about now."
But Missy didn't react to his comment. Her thoughts were not on herself any longer.
She found herself getting angry. No, more than angry. Furious.
"Where the hell is my daughter, you absolute fucking cock-suckers!" roared Missy, tugging against her bonds.
That was all she could think about…where her beautiful baby girl was right now.
And if anything had happened to her, there would be hell to pay…
But the man merely smiled his horrible smile.
"Oh I see you've got a mouth on you. You and Wade," he said in a simpering tone, giving a laugh. "Don't worry, sweetheart. Your daughter's fine. She's just taking a little rest."
With than the man stepped aside and Missy gazed up, her eyes widening..
For there was Emily, unconscious, in what looked like a large glass coffin, her little arms and legs strapped up.
"We haven't turned the machine on….yet," said the man with a smirk. "But you never know, she might just come out with a pretty great mutation-"
"I'm going to kill you!" said Missy getting to her feet suddenly, the bonds around her wrists the only thing keeping her from tearing at the man's face. "You fucking monster! She's four years old!"
"And yet she's perfect leverage for when your boyfriend comes calling…" said the man, grinning. "Which he ultimately will."
"You've got the wrong people," said Missy shaking her head. She didn't even know who these maniacs were…. it couldn't be them they were after. "My boyfriend….he's dead."
She was pleading….desperate...her eyes flickering back over to where her daughter lay unconscious.
"See, we thought that too," said the man before her, cocking his shaven head to the side. "But he keeps coming back….like a cockroach…..but uglier."
Missy scowled, pulling at her restraints once again.
She had no idea what this guy was talking about but it couldn't be them they needed…..Wade was dead…..
"Now I may not feel, but he does," he uttered. "So let's see how he fights with yours and your daughters heads on the block."
Missy gave a roar, trying her hardest to pull herself upright.
She wanted to kill this guy….
No, she was going to kill this guy, if it was the last thing she ever did…
Suddenly there was a loud yell from below, distracting the two figures long enough for Missy to kick one high-heeled foot out, jabbing the woman known as Angel sharply in the leg.
The woman turned instantly giving an angry scowl.
Fuck…
Angel leaned down, grabbing Missy tightly around the throat cutting off her air supply.
Missy gasped for air, her feet scrabbling against the ground beneath her.
"Angel…" warned the man at her side, turning back. "Ah, ah, ah….now don't do anything stupid….we need her."
But Angel did not let go, her fingers pressing hard into Missy's skin.
Missy could feel herself getting lightheaded and weak…trying as hard as she could to gasp for air.
But within a second it was over. The man's scolding had done the trick, and Missy felt the pressure against her throat loosen as Angel pulled her hand away.
Missy fell back against the metal scaffolding behind her, taking deep, painful gulps of air.
She barely noticed the sounds of the man calling over the edge of the rooftop to someone…her mind still not with it…
Her eyes travelled back over to Emily.
How the fuck was she going to get them both out of this?
Missy felt angry tears prick at her eyes.
Who else did they have to save them now?
Wade watched the man known as Francis, falter slightly, as he took in the four figures stood either side of the merc.
I mean, it wasn't every day Wade would have four Avengers at his side. He certainly had to thank Captain Underpants for that one.
"I see you've brought the cavalry," said Francis, in a slightly less confident voice, than Wade remembered.
Wade, although completely enraged, tried to play it off cool.
"Yeah," he said with a shrug, causing his red spandex suit to squeak slightly. "I would have rather the X-Men, but o' Wolvie wasn't available."
From beside him Tony Stark, dressed in his full Iron Man suit, scoffed.
"Are we getting on with this fight or not?" he said in a bored tone. "Some of us have a multi-million dollar empire to be getting back to running."
"Yeah, yeah, Tony," said Rhodey on his other side. "You mean sitting on your couch drinking scotch and watching re-runs of Supernanny all day…"
Stark gave an easy sigh. "What can I say…Coulson got me into it…"
But Tony's sentence was sharply cut off by the figure of a woman leaping from the high ledge above them.
Wade tapped Steve on the shoulder enthusiastically.
"She's gonna do the superhero landing," he murmured, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet. "Wait for it-"
Angel slammed into the ground with a loud thud.
"Wooooo," uttered Wade clapping. "Y'know that's really hard on your knees. Totally impractical. They all do it."
But the three men at his side- Steve Rogers, Captain Rhodes, Clint Barton and Tony Stark, all ignored him.
Instead the Cap stepped forwards, raising his red, silver and blue shield before him.
"Don't worry, I've got this…" he growled, as he walked out to meet Angel.
"Super," said Wade in a slightly bitter voice.
Having Steve come along did have its advantages, such as a group of superheroes on hand to help out, but that did not mean he was Wade's friend. Nuh uh. Not by a long shot.
He had gotten in the way of Wade and his two favourite girls for too long.
Wade thought about them, likely both up there on that roof top.
Fuck if anything had happened to them, Wade would tear apart this entire universe in anger…nothing would be able to stop him.
He turned to Tony, as Clint and Rhodey marched forwards as several armed men appeared all around them.
"Alright then, Iron Giant," he said cornering the metal- masked man. "Whilst Captain Popsicle is taking down….well, her."
He cocked his thumb at the angry-looking Angel.
"I'm gonna need you to do me a favour…"
Missy tugged against her bonds desperately. She needed to get out of here and rescue her baby girl.
She could feel the cable ties at her wrist loosening slightly…..if only she could prise her hands free…
She could feel the plastic cutting into her skin but she didn't care…..anything to get Emily out of her safe and well.
But before Missy could think on this any further a sudden hand grabbed her arm hard.
"It looks like your boyfriend has brought some of his pals along…" he said pulling out a large knife and holding it to Missy's face. "Now we can't have that, can we?"
Her breath hitched in her throat as the glinting blade passed in front of her eyes.
What the fuck was this guy talking about? Boyfriend?
Then it occurred to her…
Did he mean Steve?
Oh no….had Missy really gotten herself mixed up in some silly superhero business? Yes she worked for SHIELD but she never expected that this kind of thing would ever creep over into her personal life….and yet here she was…
Her daughter was in danger, she had a knife in her face, and all because she had smiled at Steve Rogers…
Suddenly there was a loud cry from behind her.
"Oh Francis," came a sudden loud voice. "Yoohoo!"
Both Missy and the man before her frowned, looking around, only to see the most unusual sight Missy had ever laid eyes on
For there…..flying about seven feet off the ground, was the masked figure of Deadpool, being held in the air by Iron Man himself.
Deadpool was holding onto Iron Man's leg for what looked like dear life.
What the hell were they doing here? Where was Steve? Were these the 'pals' Francis was talking about?
"Alright, alright," said the masked mercenary known as Deadpool. "Cool entrance done….you can put me down now."
Missy's frown deepened.
Why did she recognise that voice?
She began to breathe hard, as she peered around Francis' still and furious frame.
Iron Man did as he was told...setting Deadpool down gently and Missy watched as the merc staggered about ever so slightly for a moment caching his footing.
But right at that second, Missy's attention was caught by something else….a sudden stirring, coming from the glass coffin to her left.
No, no, no, no….
Deadpool obviously caught it too, because his white eyes immediately slid towards the awakening little girl.
Missy watched in horror as Emily blinked for a second, behind the thick glass and tried to move her hands and legs.
"Mommy!" came a her tiny voice of urgency as she began to cry, staring about. "Mommy, I scawed!"
And she did look petrified.
Missy's heart almost tore in two.
But to Missy's surprise she heard Deadpool let out a low growl and pull the swords from his back, marching over toward the glass coffin.
But before he could do so, Missy felt a blade press into her neck.
"Now before you go and do anything stupid," said Francis in a cocky tone. "I'd urge you to think about the consequences of that little cherub growing up without a Mum."
Francis pulled Missy to her feet, the ties at her wrists cutting into her flesh painfully.
At her neck she could feel the warm trickle of blood as the blade pierced her flesh lightly.
Deadpool stopped in his tracks, as behind them Emily continued to cry.
"Oh and maybe you should tell your little guard-dog to fuck off too," sneered Francis, nodding towards the hovering Iron Man.
"I'm no one's guard dog, pal-" began Tony, but before he could finish, several bullet's from a couple of heavily armed men ricocheted off his metal suit, distracting him from further conversation with Francis.
"Now that's better," said the British man, smiling, his fingers digging into Missy's arm. "Now it's just us….happy families. Isn't that right, Wade?"
Missy blinked.
What had he just said?
Her green eyes flickered over to where the masked figure of Deadpool stood, still and unmoving.
She parted her lips…a frown line appearing between her brows…
Deadpool, stared at her for a long, long moment…..his white eyes boring into hers…
"I'm gonna get you both out of here," came his sudden voice…..now so recognisable… "I fucking promise."
Missy's eyes widened….her heart thudding in her ribcage…barely noticing the single drop of blood that was running down her collarbone, staining her white silken blouse.
Tears pricked at her eyes.
No…it couldn't be him….
Not after all this time…..
"Wade?" she said shaking her head, her voice wavering.
All this had to be a mistake. Wade had left them because he was dying...that's what he had told her...
It couldn't be him...it just couldn't be.
But the masked man merely gazed back at her, giving a noticeable gulp behind his red spandex costume...
"Hey, Mama-Bear..."
Until next time...
Sorry if that was a bit rubbish. I've just been super tired this week and it's really hard to change up this scene without just copying it word for word from the movie. That's why I prefer to write my own AU and use my own OC's as I know the situations and conversations will be slightly different.
