**THERE ARE NO REFERENCES TO BE WON THIS CHAPTER**
The van hit a large pothole, waking Cable who was sitting in the far back of the van. He opened his eyes and tried to look at his surroundings. His vision was blurry, but he could see the outline of Mina sitting up next to him. She was fast asleep with her mouth hanging open in an unladylike fashion. Deadpool was taking up the entire center row spread eagle and snoring loudly.
Looking down at himself, he was dressed in different clothes than he last remembered, and he had a sweet aftertaste in his mouth. Almost as if he had eaten a spoon full of maple syrup. Running his tongue over his teeth, he cleared his throat.
"Where are we?"
"About an hour outside of Vegas," Domino said sweetly from the driver seat.
Cable shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, "What you mean? We're in Nevada already?"
"Yep!" Domino called back.
At the sound of her voice, Deadpool startled awake, "WRONG HOLE!"
Mina jumped, hitting her head on the roof of the van. "Mother fucker!"
Deadpool sat up, "I've been trying."
Rubbing her eyes, she looked around, "What the fuck happened? Where are we?"
"Vegas apparently." Cable grunted, still trying to figure out his own thoughts.
"Nuh-uh." She argued and looked out the window at the desert landscape. "Weren't we just in Montana? Why does my mouth taste like…?" She smacked her lips.
"Syrup?"
"Ass?"
"What?" everyone said in unison, looking at Deadpool.
Domino began giggling, taking the off-ramp to the fill up at the next truck stop, "You guys really don't remember?"
"Remember what? What she talking about?" Cable looked to Mina for the answer, but she only shrugged.
Deadpool had a moment of clarity, "That means my time travel pill worked!"
"If that's what they call roofies these days." Domino teased.
Cable grabbed Deadpool by the neck from the back seat, wrapping his forearm around his throat and putting him in a headlock. "You fucking drugged me?!"
Mina looked down at herself, "Guys? Whose shirt am I wearing?"
Everyone looked back at her, she was wearing a black Marylin Manson t-shirt. One she didn't own, nor had she ever seen it before. Looking up at Cable, she pointed to his face, "Guess you got lucky though."
"Huh?" he let go of Deadpool and wiped his cheek she was pointing too.
There was a large lipstick print on his cheek near his mouth.
Deadpool looked back at him and started laughing, "You sly dog you! I wonder if I got lucky too."
Domino snorted, "No, you got your ass handed to you." She pulled up to the pump and pulled the visor down, reapplying her lipstick, "Everyone stay put while I go and hustle us some gas money."
She got out of the van and made her way over to the trucker area of the gas station, swaying her hips dramatically. Everyone blinked a few times and looked at each other.
"Anyone remember anything?" Mina asked, trying to brush her fingers through the tangles in her hair.
Cable rubbed his forehead, "I vaguely remember… a big house?"
Mina slowly nodded, "Yeah… and a basketball court."
"That don't make sense. Move over, I need to get to my bag." Cable nodded for her to get out of the van.
Once they were all standing outside, they stretched and tried to collect their thoughts. Cable had changed his shirt and took a swig of mouthwash. He passed the bottle to Mina who thanked him.
"Seriously, after a night of whatever the fuck we did. Sweet is the last thing I would expect to taste." She said before taking a mouthful and passing it back. She swished it for a minute before spitting it out in the trashcan by the pump.
"When I find out what that dickwad did to us, I'll skin him." Cable grunted as he watched Deadpool starting to pump gas into the van. Domino had given them the signal through the window of the store inside.
Mina looked at him shyly, "You don't think…"
"Think what?"
"That we… ya know…" she moved her hands in between them.
"Say it. I can't read your mind, Savior." He said shortly.
She rolled her eyes, "Do you think we fucked?"
Mina didn't expect him to start laughing. "No, we didn't."
"But, how do you know?"
Cable pushed Mina against the passenger door of the van, putting his metal hand against it for support while the other was firmly on her waist, "Your legs shaking? You see any scratches on my back? You still don't know my name?"
"No…"
"That's how I know we didn't fuck. At least not yet." He chuckled by her ear, watching her squirm.
Deadpool was on the other side of the van pumping gas and watching the people traffic. Seeing a large female trucker get out of her rig his eyes widened. She was huge, bigger than him and Cable combined. She could have given Colossus a run for his money. She wore a sleeveless jean jacket with a trucker patch that said 'BAM BAM' and had a silver chain that connected her wallet to her blue jeans.
The entire world seemed to go silent at that moment when he called out to his friends, "Gawd Dayum! I didn't think they made bitches that big anymore!"
Cable and Mina ignored him. 'BAM BAM' on the other hand, seemed to have heard him because she turned to look at him. He ducked behind the gas pump quickly, "There's no friggin' way she heard me from here."
"Just say the word, Savior. I'll take you in the back of the van and throw your legs over your head." He pushed himself against her hard. "I'll have you screaming my real name over and over again."
Cable was leaning in to kiss her but stopped when he saw her look somewhere over his shoulder, "Who…"
He saw the large woman in the reflection of the window behind Mina, but it was too late.
"What did you say about me?" she spun Cable around by the shoulder, leaving Mina standing there with her mouth hung open.
"I ain't said shit-" Cable was cut off by her massive fist coming straight down on the top of his head.
He was knocked out before he could finish his sentence. She shoved him and he flew into the open sliding door of the van.
"Talk shit- get hit." Bam Bam said before hocking a loogie and looking at Mina and Deadpool. "You got somethin' to say too?!"
Both put their hands up in surrender, "N-no, Ma'am!"
She started walking back to her rig, Mina and Deadpool took that as their queue to leave. She jumped in the passenger seat while he took the driver seat, leaving the sliding door open as they peeled out.
Domino was walking out of the gas station with a large blue Slurpee and a bag of cool ranch Doritos. Deadpool was pulling around to get her, Mina was hanging out of the passenger window screaming, "Jump! We gotta book it! NOW!"
In her panic, Domino cursed and jumped into the moving van. Landing on top of a knocked-out Cable. She slammed the door shut and pushed him to the floor.
"What the fuck are you guys doing?!" she scolded.
"How the fuck did you not drop any of that? Was the flip necessary?" Mina scolded back.
Deadpool looked at her and pointed, "You should know better than to ask dumb shit you already know."
"My luck, duh."
Mina rolled her eyes, "You're right. My bad."
"What the fuck is going on? Wade, what did you do?" Domino asked before shoving a chip in her mouth.
Turning around fully to look at her, he took both hands off the wheel, "Why is it whenever something happens, it's Wade's fault?"
Mina squeaked and grabbed the wheel quickly, "Jesus Christ, Wade!"
"I'm surprised that isn't you, Wade."
"Come on now Domino. Even I have my limits of what I'll do." He countered.
"So, it was you. Mina, what happened to Cable?" Domino took a long drink of her Slurpee.
Mina turned around and looked at Cable lying flat on his back with his mouth half-opened and his eyes shut. Deadpool had taken the wheel again, "Dude, this big 'ol bitch walked up and popped him on the head like a field mouse. Thanks to Wade's big ass mouth!"
"For the record," he pointed up at the ceiling, "I honestly didn't think she would hear me from that far."
Mina narrowed her eyes at him, "Yeah, I'll give him that. Anyway, she straight-up hit his reset button and he went down hard. Wade and I took a quick exit stage right and got the fuck out of there before she ate me."
Domino scrunched her nose, "Ugh, what is that smell?"
"Okay, THAT was me." Deadpool owned. Mina smacked him on the back of the head. "I can't help it! I get gassy when I panic!"
Suddenly a pair of flashing blue lights popped up behind them. Everyone stopped talking and looked at each other. Deadpool looked back in the mirror several times and hit the steering wheel.
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" he cursed seriously, which was outside of his normal character.
Seeing that he wasn't pulling over, Mina scolded him, "Wade, what the fuck you doin', man? Pull this bitch over!"
"We can make it. Right? We can make it." He said to himself and looked in the mirror again.
"PULL THE VEHICLE OVER!"
"Shiiiit!" he cursed again.
"Wade, just pull over and take the fucking ticket!" Domino yelled.
Looking back at her, "Can't you luck us out of this shit? Come on Dom, if I ever needed you it's NOW!"
Mina quickly put her seatbelt on and covered her face with her hands, "Oh man… we're gonna be on Live PD, just you watch. You really think this hunk of shit van can outrun that cruiser? Fucking shit, Wade."
"PULL THE VEHICLE OVER OR WE WILL HAVE TO USE FORCE!"
"PULL THE FUCKING VAN OVER!" Domino boomed from the back seat, using her mom voice.
He used his blinker and started to pull over, "Alright, alright…"
Mina looked at him suspiciously, "Wade… are there drugs in the van? Please tell me there aren't drugs in the van."
Looking at her with a guilty face while waiting for the cop to walk up to the window, "Well, think about all the weapons we have…"
"Nevada is an open-carry state. You know that." Domino shot back.
Using his best Billy Mays impression, he put a finger in the air, "But wait- there's more! There are five kilos of coke strapped to the underside of all of our seats."
Both women groaned, "Wade…"
"Let's not focus on the past, let's focus on getting the fuck out of here!" he shot back.
Domino rolled her eyes, "I swear to god…"
She lowered her zipper in the front of her leather suit and pushed her breasts up, grabbing Deadpool by the shoulder and pulling to the back seat, "Everyone shut up and let me handle this." She got in the driver seat and put the seatbelt on.
The cop came around the driver side of the van, tapping his flashlight on the glass, "Lower our window, sir." Once she did, the cop continued, "You know this vehicle is registered as stolen, sir?"
Domino pinched him in the side to keep him from talking, "Hi Officer… no, we didn't. I think you have the wrong van. You see, we're on a road trip to Vegas for my daughter's birthday."
Mina smiled awkwardly and gave a small wave, "Heeeey…"
The cop stepped away for a second to speak into his radio that was clipped to his shoulder, "This is Officer Crawford, can I get a description of that 10-57?" The operator on the other side of the radio responded but they couldn't hear.
He stepped back up to the window and looked directly at Mina, "Miss, are you Mina Hawkins?"
With a huge deer in the headlights look on her face, she ignored Deadpool whispers to deny it and answered, "Uh… yeah."
He stood back up and spoke into his radio, "I have a confirmed 10-57, requesting officer back up." He was reaching for his gun as he spoke, "Miss, it's going to be alright. I need you to stay calm and we will get you back home."
Deadpool came up behind the officer, having snuck out of the van's other door quietly, and punched him in the back of the head. Sending his hat flying into the dirt and his body dropped in the road.
"WADE WHAT THE FUCK?!" Domino yelled.
"I'M TOO PRETTY TO GO BACK TO PRISON!" he yelled back and dove into the back seat of the van again. "Go!"
Mina spun around in her seat, "Dude you could go to prison for assaulting an officer!"
"Yeah and we can ALL go to prison for kidnapping you! 10-57 is a missing person- Xavier put an APB out on you, Mina!" he shot back.
"Fuck- I hate to say it, but Wade's right." Domino agreed and put the van into drive, peeling out and sending a trail of dirt up behind them.
Mina put her hand out to Domino, "Wait! Don't they have those dash cams?"
"FUCK!" she slammed on the breaks and threw it into reverse.
Wade opened the door, "I GOT IT!" before she came to a stop, he jumped out of the van and ran to the cruiser that was parked with its lights on.
He ran to the driver side and dove in through the open window. Grabbing the camera, he ripped it out of the dash and took it with him back to the van. "LET'S GO! WE GOT INCOMING ON THE RADIO!"
Domino started to peel out as he ran to catch up the van. He barely jumped in time before the door shut. "That was a fucking close one."
Deadpool pulled the van into a dirt parking lot near the Hooters Hotel and Casino, tucked behind the Tropicana. He and Domino switched driving again so she could finish her chips, "Alright, ladies. We've arrived at the promise land! What's first? Hookers? Blow? Hookers AND blow?"
Looking at their surroundings, Mina questioned, "Um… why are we parked in this creepy place? They don't even have streetlights over here. That guy looks rapey as fuck." She pointed to a guy in the trench coat who was looking into cars.
"I ain't paying for valet parking. Are you? We don't need the van now that we're here. Let's go, Mutant Theresa." He jumped out of the van and adjusted his weapon holsters.
"He's got a point. Come on, Mina." Domino slid the door open and got out.
Mina followed, "Wait, what about him?"
Domino closed the door, "Eh, he'll be alright. Let him sleep it off."
"But, shouldn't I heal him?"
Both answered in unison, "Nah!"
The trio made their way first to the Luxor. Of all the hotels, they figured no one would expect them to stay at the one that was as heavily lighted as that one. They were all three taken aback by how nice the interior looked.
"How exactly do we afford a place like this? I'm not turning tricks again," Deadpool whispered to the women.
Domino smiled. "Oh, don't worry. I've got this," she said and pulled out a credit card. "It's from an account we use for X-Force. No one will think anything of it and the Professor can't check it."
Mina just laughed. Domino got three separate rooms for them when Mina was sure she wanted her own. Mina's was next to Domino's and Deadpool's was on the highest floor on the other side of the hotel. Cable had already planned to stay at a hole in the wall hotel next to the Hooters because he didn't like being around so many people. Once checked in, they all met back up at the entrance and went to go see what Vegas had to offer. Which meant walking the Strip at sundown.
Just as they were getting ready to head out, the receptionist stopped Domino. "Excuse me, ma'am. Are you, Neena Thurman?" Domino nodded and the receptionist handed the headset of the phone. "There's a call for you. Said you're... his boss?"
Domino quickly ran over and took the phone. Mina didn't want to eavesdrop so she walked back to where Deadpool was. "Guess it's just you and me..." He was gone. When Mina heard his voice, she looked to the elevator to see Deadpool was walking away with several scantily clad women and was heard singing, "Now I've, had, the time of my liiiii-iiiii-fe. And I've never felt this way before!" Before she could ask anything else, the receptionist handed her an envelope and said, "Miss Thurman left this for you."
Mina was in a bad mood. Deadpool had disappeared into a sea of prostitutes and Domino ghosted her at the Luxor after giving her a wad of cash and telling her to "be good." What the hell did that even mean? She thought this was supposed to be a getaway for them. Not a getaway from Mina trip.
She walked into Mandalay Bay, heading straight for the off-track betting area. If she couldn't have a good time with her friends, she would try and have a good time watching football with a beer and a burger.
Looking around, she saw a seat open near the back of the bar where one of the large TVs was playing her team. There was an older man sitting at the bar, smoking a cigar and drinking a bottled beer. His coat was hanging over the back of his seat.
"Mind if I sit here?" she asked before grabbing the back of the stool.
He shook his head, letting out a large bloom of smoke, "Free country, kid."
She took a seat and signaled for the bartender, "Hey man, can I get a beer?"
The old bald bartender came over and leaned against the bar, "Can I get some ID?"
"Really?" She started digging in her purse for it.
"She's with me, Carl." The man beside her grunted.
Carl looked from her to the other man, "Bit young for you, isn't she Frank?" After seeing the mirrored annoyed expression on both of their faces he moved on, "What'll it be, Miss?"
"Anything cold, cheap and domestic. I really don't care. Just keep 'em coming." She said and looked up to the tv above the bar.
The man named Frank chuckled, "My kinda beer. I'll have what she's having."
When the beers came, they cheered to each other and drank. Keeping to themselves from then on. That is until three drunk men came into the bar area and headed towards Mina.
"Hey baby, what's a place like you doin' in a girl like this?" the tallest one slurred.
His darker friend laughed and hit him on the arm, "Good one, Chet!"
Mina rolled her eyes and sighed, "Look, guys, I'm really not interested alright? Just go on about your night and leave me alone."
Frank took a sip of his beer, watching the men out of the corner of his eye. It wasn't his fight but if they laid hands on the girl, it would be his fight to finish.
The shortest one pulled the stool next to her out, causing it to scrape loudly against the bar floor. "You ain't even that hot! You should just be thankful he's even talking to you."
Frank slammed his beer bottle down and made to get up, but Mina's hand stopped him. She started chugging her beer, holding her hand up to Frank, giving him the signal to wait. When she finished, she let out a huge burp that lasted at least four seconds. All the men stared at her with shocked and disgusted looks on their faces, Frank looked impressed.
"I got this one, old man," she said, then winked at Frank.
As soon as she turned back to the three men who were harassing her, she threw the bottle up in the air casually. Catching it by the neck of the bottle on the way down and with the same downward force, she broke the bottle over the closest one's head.
He went down, hitting his chin on the bar top before falling to the floor. His friends were drunk and slow to react. Mina was standing with her arms out to the side as if telling them to come and get her. What she didn't know is that Frank was already on his feet and standing right behind her. His broad sized frame shadowing over her protectively.
"Put up your dick beaters, let's dance!" she teased and punched her fists together.
The tall one named 'Chet' made to backhand Mina, but Frank's large paw of a hand caught it. "She's with me. I'm warning you right now, leave the kid alone."
"Fuck you, grandpa!" he yelled and tried to rip his hand away from Frank.
"See, you done fucked up now," Frank said before pulling the guy forward and headbutting him.
Mina had moved out of the way between them, the darker one with glasses reached behind him and pulled out a knife. She was half his size yet didn't show fear. It was probably because of the booze. She took a wide stance, bent her knees and put her hands up like a catcher at home plate.
"TIGER CLAW!" she yelled, as the guy was looking at her hands. She distracted him and brought her leg up swiftly and kicked him in the balls.
He didn't go down, but he did drop the knife, "Fucking bitch!"
People in the bar area of the Casino started screaming, some drunk men started cheering them on. "I got money on the little one! Bet she'll wipe the floor with all their asses!"
Frank pushed the man he was fighting backward, not realizing that he shoved him right into Mina. They both went into one of the tables near the bar. Sending chairs and cutlery everywhere, and the guy landed on top of her.
He moved to help her up but the other one swung at him, hitting him with a solid left hook in the jaw. Frank fell back into his stool and went down. The other guy didn't wait to advance, he jumped on top of Frank, pinning him with his weight and started swinging.
Mina and Chet were tangled with each other and some of the chairs. He grabbed her by the hair and made her yelp in pain. Frank heard her and used his left foot to kick at the back of Chet's head, still taking punches from his friend.
"Get up, kid!" he called out to her.
She didn't need to be told twice. Mina got to her feet while Chet was still on his knees, he was nearly her height at this vantage point. She pulled back her right fist and swung hard.
"Fuck!" she yelled in pain as she cradled her wrist.
Frank finally managed to get the guy off him by throwing his flat hand against his windpipe. Then he hit him with an elbow when he bowed in pain. Rolling him off, he looked at Mina and called out again, "Keep your wrist straight, kid!"
Mina looked at Frank briefly, seeing him point to his jaw right by his ear with his own fist. She looked back at Chet who was trying to get up. She reared back again, this time taking Frank's advice. The hit was solid, landing in the sweet spot that Frank liked to call the "Ring Dinger."
Chet's vision went black and he fell back on himself, his knees bent awkwardly under him. Mina walked back over to the bar, seeing Frank's bloody nose and swollen jaw. She grabbed two of the beers that the guys had left undrunk and handed one to him.
"Nice hit, kid." He tipped the bottle to her.
"Thanks for the advice, Dad." She joked and clicked her bottle to his.
They drank both until empty. The first man she hit with the bottle started to move and try to get up. He was in between where they were standing. They both finished their beers at the same time, let out a manly burp and brought both bottles down on his head again in unison.
"THERE THEY ARE!" a man at the entrance of the bar yelled.
It was a bunch of men in security outfits and two cops. They started running towards them yelling, "Stay where you are!"
Mina and Frank looked at each other for a moment before both bolting for the small railing that separated the bar from the rest of the casino. They were on each other heels, running through the crowd of people while looking for an exit in the large casino.
Mina saw the entrance to the aquarium and took off to the right, "Hey! Over here!"
He skidded on the slick floor with his boots and knocked over a little cart full of booze that a waitress was pushing. Ignoring the mess, he followed Mina through the maze of large tanks of fish. He nearly tripped over her when she ducked behind a large tank and stopped.
"Come here and shut up!" she whispered hurriedly.
He bent down as instructed and she put her hands on either side of his face, healing him quickly and shoving him back again. He didn't wince one bit, but he did rub his face where there used to be a large swell forming. Looking at his reflection in the large tank behind her, he saw all his injuries gone.
"What the hell…"
She dug into her bag that she managed to grab before running off. Taking out a wad of tissues and shoving them in his chest, "Clean up that blood quick and put this on!"
He wiped the blood as best he could and put on the dark grey beanie she threw at him, "What are you gonna do?" He quickly put on his jacket that he managed to snag from the back of his stool.
Mina smirked at him, "What I do best. Queue drunk white girl in 3… 2… 1."
The guards rounded the corner and Mina threw her hands up in the air, "WOOO! VEGAS BABY! SHARKS IN MO-FUCKIN VEGAS!"
"STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" one man yelled.
Mina swayed hard into Frank, who caught her, "Hey kid, easy now."
They walked up to them with their flashlights, "Sir, were you just in the bar area?"
Frank turned to look at them, still holding Mina who was 'Woo-ing' loudly', "Look, guys, my daughter is out here celebrating her 21st birthday and she got a bit too carried away. I'll take her home, don't worry."
They looked from him to Mina and shook their heads, "It ain't them, let's go."
When they left and the coast was clear, Mina stood up straight and started laughing while pumping her fist in the air. "Now that was fucking fun!"
Frank smirked, "Hell yeah, it was!"
Mina held her hand out to shake, "Thanks for helping me out back there. Name's Mina."
He shook her hand firmly, "Nice meetin' ya kid, the name's Frank. Where'd you learn that hand shit?" he was talking about her healing his face.
"Can you keep a secret?"
"We just committed a felony together." He chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm a mutant. It's my gig." She shrugged innocently.
Frank's phone started ringing, he reached in his pocket and pulled it out to answer, "Yeah boss? Alright… I'm on my way." He put his phone away and looked at Mina, "Well, it's been fun kid. But I gotta get back to work."
Mina smiled at him and nodded, "Sure has been. See you around the strip, Frank?"
"Yeah, I'll be seeing you kid."
