Disciple AU: Just a sample of things to come in 2020

SOTM: I got friends in looooow places


They landed in the same dirt lot they started in. Some random back alley near Freemont Street. Mina pushed cable away as soon as her feet hit the ground. He stumbled back briefly, trying to correct himself from the time jump.

"What the hell was that, Cable?!" Mina screeched and pushed him again.

He caught her arms, "Hey now, calm the fuck down."

"Calm the fuck down?! You said we were going to the fucking future!" she managed to get one of her arms free and continued to swing away, "You limp-dicked us to the fucking past!"

"I said I need to figure out what's wrong!" he yelled back at her. Pushing her back without using his arms, just forcing his chest against hers and backing her to the graffiti-covered wall. "Just let me fucking think, and I'll get us out of here, I promise."

Mina grunted with each swing she took, "FUCK" SWAT "YOU" SWAT "BUFFALO" SWAT "BILL" SWAT

Cable was trying to adjust the time calibration on his device, "Will you cut that shit out? You're gonna fuck me up again."

"Oh, I'll fuck you up, alright!" Mina balled her first and swing at him hard, making sure to keep her wrist straight like Frank taught her, "You think you can fucking barter for me?! Like I'm some fucking livestock!"

She hit him square in the jaw, rocking him back on his heels, "Shit!"

"I hate you!" Mina screamed at the top of her lungs, "How could you?!"

Cable wiped the blood from his chin and yelled back at her, "CUZ I FUCKING LOVE YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL FUCKING BITCH!"

Mina started laughing sarcastic and loud, "Oh, fuck off! You don't love me, you fucking idiot. You're just addicted to my powers."

"That ain't it." He shook his head and lowered his tone, "trust me, Mina."

"Bullshit. I know you are. You use every chance you get to touch me. I know you just wanted me to heal you from that virus shit. Now I'm just a fucking drug to you." Mina wiped the angry tears from her eyes, "It's not the first time."

"No," he slowly moved towards her, holding his hands up in surrender, "I swear that isn't the case, Mina. Let me prove it to you."

She shook her head and shoved him away, "I'm not giving you another chance to hurt me. Fuck off."

Mina started walking away towards the main street. He called out to her, "I'm the only reason you exist."

Scowling, she turned to call over her shoulder, "What the fuck does that mean-"

All the air in her lungs was squeezed out of her when a large metal arm grabbed her around the middle and shoved her against a wall. Mina was spun to where she was able to see Cable, who was now holding his rifle and aiming it right at her.

The wall she was forced against was the chest of a large muscular man with a partial mask covering his face, the rest of it shadowed by his long black hair. Mina finally caught her breath and screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"

"Drop the girl." Cable ordered, taking a tactical stance and slowly pacing towards them. Strategically backing them into a corner of the alley.

The man in black tactical gear scowled and gave a small shake of his head. With his free hand, he pointed a large pistol to Mina's temple.

Cable growled in frustration; his mechanical eye now gone since Mina healed him. He'd be able to get a calculated show off with its assistance, but Mina was in the way, "Damn it Barnes, let her go!"

"Cable!" Mina called out to him and tried to fight off her attacker, but his large metal bicep was wrapped tightly around her neck, "Get… me... out of… here!"

Tilting his head in confusion, the name familiar but unrecognizable, "Barnes?"

"Hang on, Mina." He tried to calm her down, "I'm right here, I ain't goin' nowhere without you."

His mask covered his face from the bridge of his nose down, but his voice rang loud and deep, "All right, pop quiz. A gunman with one hostage. He's using her for cover; he's almost gotten away. You're a hundred feet away... Cable? What do you do?"

"Shoot the hostage..."

Mina stopped struggling, looking at him with large Doe eyes, "Wait, what?"

BANG


"Well, well, well…" the voice behind him tusked, "You really got yourself in deep now, huh?"

Cable spun around and fired his rifle, "What the fuck, now?"

The bullet went right through him, yet he remained leaning against the wall and laughing at him, "Sure, waste your ammo on your friends. Seems to be a trend for you. First Colossus, then Wade… then Mina, now me."

"He's got a point," A familiar voice said from the entrance to the alley. Deadpool pointed at the man with blue hair, "it really hurts my feelings."

Cable charged Deadpool and grabbed him by the front of his suit, "You can see him?"

"He's slow to the taking, isn't he?"

"Shut up, you fucking hack!" Cable yelled over his shoulder at him, shaking Deadpool again, "You can hear him, yeh?"

"Uh… yeah, why wouldn't I be able to?" he pushed him off of him and started walking to Mina who was laying in the street in a pool of blood, "So you're more concerned about your personal demons taking tangible form over the girl? Man, you're fucked in the head."

Cable growled when the man he dubbed Hack started clapping, "Shut up! She'll come back. She always does. That's part of the whole immortality thing. Where's Domino? What time are we in?"

Deadpool brushed her hair from Mina's face with his gloved hand, "Man, her daddy is gonna be pissed."

"Wade!" Cable barked, "When am I?"

He stood and answered seriously, "Two weeks after the club. Domino is off with her baby daddy drama bullshit."

"Shit!" Cable cursed and started pacing angrily, "Who the fuck sent the Winter Soldier?"

"Woah, he's here?!" Deadpool gasped, "You must have pissed off someone really fucking high up. Think old man Jenkins did it?"

"Xavier sent his own gang to get Savior," Hack spoke up from his corner, "That monster only has one master."

Deadpool stuck his finger up in the air, "SHIELD!"

"Wrong timeline." Hack corrected, "Hydra."

"So close!" he punched his gloved hand into his palm.

Hack walked around Cable, standing over Mina's body, "Won't know who sent him unless he tells you. Only way to do that is to interrogate him. And the only way to do that is to catch him…. And to catch him you need bait."

"Now you're helping?" Cable spat and crossed his arms.

"Self-preservation is a bitch." He shrugged, "You're in no condition to fight him, let alone catch him. You're gonna have to make sure he doesn't take her. Only way to do that… well, I can't give you all the answers, can I?"

Cable growled and started pacing again. He stopped suddenly and grabbed Deadpool by the shoulder, "You said her daddy was gonna be pissed. You didn't say which one."

He shivered and rubbed his hands together, "I love it when you talk in triple Entendre!"
