Disciple A/N: Sons Muse kinda took this chapter away from me. Was just an idea pitcher for this one
SOTM- I really want to comment on some of your reviews but I'd rather make you guys suffer. I am starting college tomorrow, after I swore no more student loans. Be patient for updates while I restructure my life. K thanks.
We don't get paid for this- so leave reviews please
Once Mina was out the doors of the club, a strong hand grabbed her by the shoulder and half dragged, half pulled her down the street. "Ow… that hurts – hey, when did you get here?" Mina looked up to see Cable attached to the arm around her.
He kept his eyes forward and quickly moved them through the traffic of people on the street who were also fleeing. "About the time you started kissing a terrorist." He grunted angrily as he pushed someone out of the way.
Scowling, she looked up at him and slurred, "Hey, that's racist. He didn't even look middle-eastern."
He pulled her down a smaller street and stepped to the side, facing her directly and shaking her roughly, "Damn it Mina, that was the guy from the convoy!"
"The one who shot you? You said that was Frank." She was trying to keep up but it was hard in her drunken state.
The veins in his neck were throbbing, "Not him- his boss! The one who almost killed your stupid Russian!"
Her jaw dropped a little and her eyes widened. After a few moments, when she finally understood what he was talking about she started laughing. Throwing her head back and snorting in his face.
"Why the fuck are you laughing?" he scowled at her, "You're drunk, aren't you?"
Nodding enthusiastically she snorted again, "Yeah…"
He rolled his eyes and looked towards the street, "Great, now I gotta take care of your drunk ass while trying to get the fuck out of here."
"I'm not going anywhere with you." she pushed him back and threw his arm off of her, "You've had such a stick up your ass since I've met you. Why the fuck do I wanna go with you?"
"Save it, Mina. We gotta get the fuck out of here." He pointed towards the street he wanted to keep walking down.
She threw a finger up and jabbed him in the chest, "No, let me finish! I thought that getting laid would have calmed you down some, but I'm quickly seeing that you're just an ass."
Cable grabbed her hand, keeping firm hold of it as she tried to pry it away., "Mina."When she stopped fighting, he brought it up to his mouth and kissed it gently, "There's a lot of shit going on right now. We'll talk later, I promise. We gotta get the hell outta dodge. Now."
"What shit? All I know is everyone fucking left me and I don't need you, or Wade or Dom! You can all fuck off!" she had tears in her eyes, ready to drunk sob any second now.
"Hey!" he warned her, "You left me twice now, remember? I made you a promise to keep you safe didn't I? That means you gotta trust me, Mina."
"Keeping me safe from what?! Other guys? You're such a jealous prick- we aren't together! Last night was a onetime thing, don't you know the hookup code of honor? I leave, then you leave and I get my hotel room back." She pointed to herself then to him to clarify what she was talking about.
Cable was losing his patience and quickly, "The hotel has been compromised. Shortly after you left, your Daddy's little entourage came into the room and did this to me. They're looking for you, Savior and they made it very clear that they aren't going back to New York without you."
Mina had the dear in the headlights look before cursing suddenly, "SHIT! Who did he send? Please don't say Colossus."
He nodded, "The Russian, the laser pointer and Logan. Three heavy hitters from the X-Men are here for you and I'm doing my best to make sure that doesn't happen. So, if you're done with this drunken pity party, heal my arm so I can get us a car and get us far enough away from the city to jump."
Mina helped him take off his makeshift sling and softly pressed a hand on his arm and the other on the back of his neck to bring him closer. His arm popped into place correctly without the pain. the endorphins she sent to him made him lean in closer to her.
She started to pull her hands away from him but he pulled her back into him, bending his head down to hers and softly ordering her, "Don't stop."
She knew what he was talking about, he wanted her to keep healing him until the virus was gone. Without argument, Mina closed the distance between their lips as the white light under her arms glowed brighter.
The door to the office opened, "Boss, you busy?"
Without looking up from his computer screen he grunted, "Come in."
Lekan took a deep breath when he stepped in front of the desk, "I got some good news and some bad news."
Ulysses looked up at him without moving his head from the computer screen, he remained silent as he waited for Lekan to spill everything. The Puerto Rican started to sweat as he tried to find his words.
"Bad news…. Uh someone stole your car from the valet." Lekan stuttered. "Bu-but – but we got guys working on finding it as we speak."
"Who. Stole. My. Car." He remained seated and calm as his tone reflected his bubbling rage.
"I got the security footage you asked for. It's also got the footage of the c….car….."
Ulysses looked up from the computer screen in front of him and stood up, "Did you find her?"
Lekan gave an awkward shoulder shrug, "Yes and no."
"You either did or you didn't." Ulysses spat angrily and rounded the desk towards him.
Lekan jumped and ran around the desk to get away from him, "Let me put it on the big screen!"
Ulysses stopped pursuit of him but threw a folder full of papers at him as he passed, "Hurry the fuck up!"
Rushing to the computer, he plugged in a flash drive and changed the channel on the giant flat screen tv on the wall. Ulysses watched the footage play as he leaned against the desk with his arms crossed.
The first video played of Mina walking into Mandalay Bay and head straight for the bar. They watched her sit right next to a big man with a five o clock shadow. "Is that Frank?!"
"Just keep watching." Lekan said awkwardly.
Ulysses watched three men come in and harass her, "I want those men brought in. I want each of them tied up and waiting for me in the basement. Now!"
Lekan quickly pulled out his cell and made the call to the men downstairs. Ulysses stood up when the footage changed to her and Frank hiding behind a large fish tank. Her hands cupped Frank's face and she pulled him down into what looked like a kiss.
Lekan remained silent, knowing his boss was about to blow any second. He played the next video without waiting for instruction. Ulysses remained eerily silent as he watched Mina walk around the strip, the encounter he witnessed in the casino between her and Cable. The footage picked up sounds but most of it was hard to heard with regular casino background. Except when Frank stabbed Cable, "The kid falls under my protection. Mine."
Jealousy and hatred flowed through him as he calmly pulled out his cellphone and sent a group text. 'My office. Now.'
Lekan played the next footage, from the casino only a few hours ago. Ulysses watched her dancing in the center of the club as he circled her. Licking his lips as he watched them kiss and dance on the screen.
"To answer 'who shot up my fuckin' club' question you asked earlier…." Lekan announced as he pointed to the corner of the screen.
Cable walked into the club and pulled out his rifle. No footage showed the 'Mr. Fantastic' that Mina met that night. Only Cable holding a weapon and the sound of a gun going off. The following footage of outside the club showed Cable grabbing her and pulling Mina down the street as she struggled to keep up.
A firm knock on the door was heard before it opened. Frank walked in with Disciple right behind him. "You wanted to see us?"
Ulysses stood up and put on a large smile, "Come in, Frank. Sit down. Make yourself comfortable."
"What about me?" Disciple said in offense.
From behind Ulysses' back, Lekan was making the throat cut signal and mouthing 'RUN AWAY'
Understanding his meaning that Ulysses was in one of his more dangerous moods, he stood back and kept his hand beneath his trench coat.
Ulysses snapped his fingers and pointed to Lekan, "Play the first one again."
Ulysses watched Frank's face as the emotion never changed. Frank knew he had been caught and he had to suffer the consequences. "You said you didn't know the girl, here I see that you've known her all along."
"I didn't know it was her. It was some girl at a bar who meant shit." Frank tried to cover.
Ulysses grabbed him by the jaw forcefully, painfully squeezing his cheeks together, "SHIT?! You dare call her shit?!" Ulysses forced him to watch the large TV again, "Look at your pathetic excuse for a kiss compared to mine!"
Lekan played the clip of them kissing in the club next. Disciple's eyes widened when he realized how fucked they all truly were. Frank wasn't supposed to know about Mina. He only trusted Lekan with knowledge of her existence out of lack of options. Ulysses was the last person he needed knowing anything about Mina, else he feel the wrath of her overly protective mother and his lover, Domino.
Frank held his ground, not dare moving to reach for his weapon with his skull in the palm of Ulysses' death grip of a mechanical hand, "I meant no offense."
"That's why you held me back at the casino." Ulysses chuckled dangerously, "You wanted her for yourself. Knowing that once she had the taste of a real man, she'd wander away from you."
He tried to shake his head, "No. It ain't like that. I never touched her like that-"
Ulysses tightened his grip on his jaw, pressing the barrel of his .45 against Frank's temple, "You calling me a liar or blind?"
"Casino was just chance happening, I didn't know it was her till I saw Cable." Frank struggled to finish speaking.
Ulysses felt the larger barrel of a desert eagle press against his head, behind his right ear. Disciple's large hand held steady grip as he cocked the hammer back loudly, "He's telling the truth, Klaue. No need to prove the bigger man."
He turned to face the barrel of the large gun, barring his teeth as he spat, "You don't know shit! Your powers don't work on Frank, you told me that yourself."
"A man of my talents doesn't need to use his powers to detect a lie. His body language gives no inclination that he's lying." Disciple stated calmly, yet pressed the barrel of the gun harder against his forehead. "So put the gun down."
Frank was getting impatient, "What are we doin' here?!"
Ulysses ignored him and continued to yell at Disciple, "Fuck off with that shit! Not even a lie detector can read the statue that is the bloody Punisher!"
"If you can't trust Frank, then you can't trust me and you can't trust Lekan- alright, I'll give you that one." Disciple corrected himself when thinking of how often Lekan was unreliable at times. "You get my fucking point. All this bullshit for what? A pretty drunk girl who doesn't know your name?"
Ulysses dropped the gun from Frank's temple and stood straight, brushing Disciple's gun away as if a bothersome fly, "Oh, but she will know my name."
Disciple holstered his gun and groaned, "Please don't say in bed and/or moaning something lewd."
Frank rubbed his face with his palms, angrily wiping away the sweat from his brow. All the while mentally cursing having ever gotten caught up with the troublesome mutant. "I should have fucking retired."
Ulysses put up both hands to form a heart and held them up towards the TV, looking at the image of him kissing Mina, "'Course not. I meant when she takes my last name."
Disciple was the first to react, letting out a bark like laugh and leaning against the arm chair while clutching his stomach. Frank scowled at the long haired man, "Seriously, what fucking drugs did you give him this time?"
Shaking his head, Ulysses flipped him off, "I'm not high, I'm drunk."
"That explains a lot, actually." Lekan finally chimed in.
"Drunk on her love!" he pointed back to the TV.
Frank cleared his throat and nodded towards the TV that continued to the next video of his car being stolen. "Your 'Love' is committing grand theft auto."
"With her Sancho." Lekan added.
They watched as the Valet driver parked in the priority VIP section and exit the car. Cable appeared at the corner of the screen, sneaking around the other cars and knocking out the teenaged boy. He quickly plucked the keys out of his limp hand and waved for someone off screen.
Mina appeared shortly and embraced Cable while giggling. He opened the passenger door for her and clipped her seatbelt in tightly. She grabbed Cable by the front of the shirt and kissed him. They watched as Cable got in his car and peel out heading West on the strip.
"Wooooooow." Disciple said in both shock and awe.
The sound of mechanical whirring and charging snapped the rest of the men out of their trance on the TV. A large purple charge from Ulysses' hand cannon was aimed in their general direction and none, save Lekan from behind the desk, had enough time to react. So they stood there with their hands up and backing away slowly.
He walked towards the TV, pointing at it with his other hand, "This piece of shit tried taking my Vibranium and failed, after YOU told me you put a bullet in him that should have killed him." He pointed it at Frank as he continued, "Then he shows up here, coincidentally were I keep my fucking Vibranium. Not only that, he shoots up my club, takes my girl and steals my car."
"It's like a fucked up Wakandan Country song." Disciple snorted. He couldn't help himself. "And it's technically my property. Also, she's technically not yours- going off the fact she kissed three guys in one night-" he stopped talked when the canon turned to him.
"I'll blow your head off- going off the fact you're a fuckin' sack of shit. He's taking the exact things that you three are in charge of. You dare let this mutant make a fool of me? Again?!"
"We did as told-" Frank yelled back, "You said protect the goods and find the girl. Technically, we did that. Lekan found her, she's with the car."
Ulysses took a threatening step forward, "AND WHERE'S MY FUCKING CAR, FRANK?!"
"We're working on it. I got guys on the police scanners and Lekan was running the traffic cams."
The computer chimed and a notification appeared on the screen. 'LOJACK ALERT- LOCATION FOUND – AUTHRORITIES ALERTED'
He slowly turned back from the screen, "Who's bright idea was it to activate the LoJack and report it stolen?"
Lekan slowly lifted his hand, "Uh, mine boss."
"What do you think will happen when they catch up to them? That they'll just give me back my illegal super car?!" He roared at them.
"We'll just be going then…" Frank pushed Disciple towards the door.
Ulysses charged his canon and aimed it at them as they walked towards the door, "For your sake, you better hope you're faster than the cops and my fucking car!"
They all scrambled out the door, blocking each other as they all tried to fit in the doorway at once. Lekan was pushed up against the doorframe forcefully, "My face!"
"Your ass! Move it!" Disciple grunted as he shoved him harder.
The large purple blast let off a huge burst of sound as it raced towards them. Frank took a running start and hit them like a offensive lineman. All three men fell through the door and down the steps; painfully landing in a pile at the bottom, while narrowly missing the blast.
"BRING ME HIS HEAD, MY CAR AND THE GIRL OR REPLACE THEM!"
