I had always liked the Creeper. In my world, he was a funny man that usually pissed off Batman while defeating the bad guys Robin had missed. He also never tried to tell my team what to do and instead saw us as equals, a huge contrast from the rest of the adult heroes of the world.
This Creeper, though, I knew nothing of. He had yellow skin, green hair spiked up to look like horns on either side of his head, a large and red feather boa tied around his neck, and green and black tight shorts with red gloves that had black trim. All in all, he looked almost exactly like the Creeper from my universe. The only difference was that he seemed just a tad bit short and his body a bit bulkier.
Along with the physical aspect, to me it seemed that this Creeper was actually just a tad bit crazier than my own. He sang the whole way down, if you could call what he was doing singing. And once we reached the floor and landed unceremoniously on a metal floor, he immediately jumped and clapped his hands while cheering loudly.
"Let's do that again, Ginger!"
Creeper was smiling broadly as he looked down at me and Deadpool giggled at his energy, but I only rolled my eyes and craned my neck to look at my new surroundings. With a groan I rubbed my wrists, noting with delight that I was freed from the handcuffs once more, all the while looking at the extremely high-tech place I now found myself in.
I was immediately awe-struck at how amazing everything looked, but my moment of shock was cut off by the sound of guns cocking. And now I had a laser pointed right at my forehead and chest.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?"
I looked up at the voice that had spoken up, only to find a dark skinned man with an eye patch glaring down at us, holding a rather deadly looking gun in our direction.
There was a smaller man beside him, and this one's costume was red, blue, and seemed to have a spider on it, but I was much too busy focusing on the danger before me.
Deadpool, on the other hand, gasped and ran towards the man in blue and red.
"Spidey! I have found you!" He immediately hugged the man tightly, and I swore I heard a large groan coming from the other as Deadpool did so.
Creeper smiled fondly as he clasped his hands, "Oh, reunions always make me teary eyed!" He gasped, only to wipe away a stray 'tear'.
I quirked an eyebrow as the man with the eye patch cursed at Deadpool, grabbing him by the collar and roughly pushing him away from the red and blue man. "You are to stay away from Spiderman, Deadpool! I have already told you this!"
Deadpool seemed to try and stick his tongue out, but when that didn't work- he had a mask on, for Pete's sake- he resorted to crossing his arms and turning so his back faced the eye patched man.
"You've said nothing of the sort, Nickory!" Deadpool yelled, chuckling to himself, "Get it, like Gregory but with his name!" He whispered to himself, then shook his head and returned to his serious stance. "Last we met you threw me out of the X-Men's mansion but said nothing about seeing my favorite web slinger!"
The dark skinned man's eyebrows narrowed but the one called Spiderman only chuckled nervously, "Deadpool, I know you're insane and what not... But you know that you shouldn't get on Fury's bad side."
"Well it's not my fault Nick Fury's a big jerky baby!" Now he turned once more, seeming as if he was smiling broadly, "Spiderman, I want you to meet the two most awesome guys I've ever met in my life!"
With these words he grabbed the guy's wrist and dragged him towards where Creeper and I were standing, my arms crossed as I looked at the two approaching men while Creeper only began to jump up and down giddily. He began to clap his hands and cheered loudly when Deadpool introduced Spiderman with a flourish.
"My fellow kinsmen!" He announced, shoving Spiderman in front of us, "This is the greatest neighbor anyone could ever ask for! I give you: Your friendly Neighborhood Spiderman!"
The man with the spider theme glared at Deadpool, clearly annoyed by him, but shook his head and turned to us. Creeper waved at him in a hyperactive manner while I only nodded at him.
I was starting to get hungry again so my mood wasn't necessarily the best.
"The name's Kid Flash. And this is the Creeper." I jabbed my thumb in the green haired man's direction.
And as if this was his cue, the yellow man jumped on Spiderman and gave him a giant hug. "It's quite the honor to meet a friend of Deadpool's! He's such a swell guy I'm sure he has swell friends!"
Spiderman chuckled softly and scratched at the back of his head, as if unsure as to what he should do, but Nick Fury clearing his throat took any decisions away from him.
"I don't care if you're a friend of his or not. I want to know how you got on the Helicarrier and what your business is here before I have to get violent."
Now more lasers began to point at my body and I sighed.
Here we go again.
Once the heroes arrived at the Avengers tower, Iron Man and Batman immediately began on their work. Bruce Banner was there waiting for them, already prepared to help fix the mess the teenager and crazed mercenary had caused.
While those three went down to the lab, Green Arrow decided to get to know the resident archer, Robin began to follow and bother Black Widow, and Vigilante insisted on not letting go of Mjölnr. This caused Thor to be greatly annoyed, but he was also amazed incredibly because of how rude yet respectful the cowboy could be.
But he did have one question. Just what did 'yellow bellied rascal' mean?
"Listen 'ere, pardner. We're gon' be here a while if what Batman an' Iron Man said was true." Vigilante started as he plopped down on the couch, still holding on to the hammer. "So how 'bout we get ta know each other a bit more rather than fight over this hunk o' junk?"
Thor quirked an eyebrow in clear confusion at the man's clearly weird words, but did his best to decipher what he meant. Then he nodded and sighed as he sat down beside the confusing man.
"So... Just where do you come from?"
Vigilante smiled broadly at the question and began to tell their tale.
Please review.
