It was a small hallway, barely big enough to fit two grown men side
by side inside. The pair of deadly deed doers moved in utter silence. It
was a long hall, with no doors at all, but that ended in a downward
staircase.
Elektra glanced at Deadpool a moment, and back the long hall. "This should have been harder, more resistant."
Deadpool nodded slowly and began to descend the stairs. "I know. Either way, we go down. Just be ready to handle whatever they throw at us." Seven-hundred-thirty-two steps and they were standing before a large double door that looked to be made of Titanium.
"I don't suppose you can break through this door?" Elektra crossed her arms lightly over her chest, and glanced at the man for a long moment. Her gaze was, as always, set in stone and showing no emotion.
Wade shook his head lightly, "No, but you can." He reached into one pocket about his chest, and pulled out a small black bow, with several wires dangling from it. "Take this, and follow my directions."
Elektra nodded slowly. She wasn't much for electronic hacking, but she knew enough to know what was coming next.
In the next few minutes, the pair traded jobs, so to speak. Where Deadpool would have been doing the system hacking, and Elektra would be covering the stairwell, it was reversed. Deadpool was giving instructions while watching the stairs and Elektra was following directions to get the doors open. A light bleep was heard, and the doors hissed open.
Deadpool was aimed and ready to fire in the exact same instant. There wasn't a single person inside.
Elektra simply pushed passed him and moved inside. What she saw was shelves. Shelves upon shelves of shelves as far she could see. She glanced to Deadpool and shrugged lightly. "You take that side."
Deadpool nodded and moved to the left, allowing Elektra to go to the right. He was looking this way and that way, riffling through old artifacts and books. "Couldn't be that hard. This stuff is all old and dusty, I need new and crisp. A walk in the park, sure enough." He began searching for newer looking shelves.
Elektra had come to the same conclusion, but she was moving much faster. She wasn't leaving any stone unturned. She knocked shelves totally over, and threw stuff over her shoulders as she looked. She was already at the end of this first row of shelves. "Well what do we have here? I think I've hit pay dirt." She moved to a small table against the wall and peered at the unfurled paper on its surface. Sure enough, it was the blueprints.
"I've got them!" She rolled the papers up and tucked them under one arm as she moved to find the man that was her temporary partner. He met her halfway, and cocked his head to one side.
"Let's see it." He held out his right hand for the plans, which were neatly handed over. He unfolded them and looked at them for a long moment. "No wonder there's such a price for these..." He deftly rolled them back up with his one hand and handed them back.
Elektra took them and tucked them into the loop of her sash lightly, securing them tightly. "Now, all we need to do is get out. We got in easy enough."
At that moment, the duo felt a rumbling beneath their feet, and Elektra nearly toppled sidelong.
"Why do I have a feeling we're not going to get out as easily we got in?" Deadpool nodded toward the door, and pointed with an arm that was three quarters of its original length. "We need to go, now."
With that, the pair of deadly assassins headed back through the door, and quickly up the stairs, and back down the hall. Elektra was on point, and peered out the broken down door. "We have a slight problem. They've put some king of dome around the facility."
Deadpool joined her and peered outside into the artificially light complex. "Aw, hell. This is going to be really fun. We need to find a way to get them to either open the dome, or to blow it."
Elektra nodded, "This is your department."
Deadpool chuckled lightly. "Hey, you provided quite the distraction for me to get in here, so don't sell yourself short, Lady."
Elektra gave him a look that shut his crack-hole almost instantly. "I..." She shut her mouth, not willing to resort to his tactics of fun- poking. "So how do we get out of here?"
Wade grinned beneath the black and red mask and held up one finger, wagging it lightly. "Oh this should be good fun. Come on." The merc with a mouth moved out of the building and along the eastern wall, all the way around to the back of the smallest building in the complex.
From a pouch at his hip, Deadpool pulled a chunk of what appeared to be C-4. He slapped it on the wall, and stuck a wire inside lightly. "We'd best get further away... this is going to be quite the kaboom."
Elektra nodded and followed the man, ducking behind a truck shortly after he did. She was glancing around. It was dark enough to provide ample cover for the pair, but one could never be too cautious. That was when she spotted it. A guard was wearing HER SAI at his waist. "I'll just be a moment; don't start the show without me."
Elektra followed the man for a good five feet before planting a fist to the spot where his head met his spine and sending down for the count simply and easily. She relieved the weapon from the unworthy man, and moved back to Deadpool's side. "Fire when ready."
Deadpool nodded and pushed a small green flashing button. The resulting explosion was blinding, to everyone that wasn't ready, meaning everyone but the pair of sneaky stalking assassins.
They were off in a flash, leaping through flames and falling debris out through the dome, only to screech to a halt at the multitude of weapons raised in their direction.
"You two are as good as I heard. Now if you don't mind, I'll be taking those plans at your waist young lady."
Shots were fired, and the pair dropped like rocks to the ground. Darts injected some foreign substance into their systems, and the men relieved them of the blueprints, "We are ready. Shall we fly them out now?"
The man nodded slowly, "Take them away. Leave them their weapons; they won't do them any good where they're going anyway."
With that, the sarcastic assassin, and the crimson killer were loaded into a truck, and driven off through the dense jungle. What would happen next... is anyone's guess.
