Okay you guys, this one kinda got away from me. Sorry it took so long, but I'm working on some of the requests I've gotten. Hope you like it, Deadpool is always fun to write. Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading! =)

Oh this one has a little language in it, just thought I'd tell you. It is Deadpool though, had to keep him in character.

It had been three months since the kidnapping incident and I was starting to get stir crazy. Since that day I hadn't gone anywhere without one of the Avengers going with me. Not that I could really blame them, I mean according to Bruce a few minutes more and I would've been a goner. I understood the concern but now it was just starting to get annoying.

Dad wouldn't let me out of his sight, Tony and Peter had ganged up on me and refused to let me leave the tower except for work, and Clint and Tasha worked me harder than ever on self-defense once I was able. Thor felt the worst, so gifted me with an Asgardian dagger for protection. He said Loki was enraged when he heard about what had happened and after Thor picked out the dagger Loki charmed it so that I couldn't lose it. And Tasha was more than happy to show me how to use it properly.

And Steve, well…

We weren't speaking at the moment.

He wanted me on house arrest and I wanted to have my freedom back. With everyone else on his side there wasn't much I could do but try and sneak out when I could. Not that it was easy with Tony having J.A.R.V.I.S watching my every move, I had to wait for the monthly server updates Tony did. It was the only time I didn't have an AI butler watching me, even then it was hard.

So last night was the tipping point for me and Steve, I had gone out for a much needed night out with my closest friends from work. And when I got back he was there waiting for me, pacing in front of the elevator.

The second the doors opened I found myself being pulled into Steve's arms. He held me tight for a minute before releasing me to check for injuries.

"Are you okay?"

I sighed, not this again.

"Yes, I'm fine Steve. Nothing happened, I just hung out with Ava and Alice from work. You met them remember?"

He scrunched up his brows, trying to place faces to the names.

"Oh yeah, they were nice."

I smiled, hoping that would be the end of it. I wiggled out of his grasp intending to go back to my room.

But he stopped me before I could.

"But why did you leave without telling me? You're not supposed to go out at night."

I put a hand to my face and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"I needed to spend some time away from the tower that's all."

And away from my overprotective family and boyfriend…

He frowned at me.

"It's not safe for you to go out alone, Anna, you can't keep doing this."

"Doing what?"

I could tell he was losing his calm.

"You know exactly what! This is the third time you've gone out by yourself without telling anyone. I thought we talked about this."

Starting to get frustrated with him, I rolled my eyes.

"No, you talked about it. I didn't have much of a choice in the matter. I'm tired of the security detail, if I want to go out with friends then I will."

He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms.

"No, you won't."

I mimicked his stance and glared up at him.

"Excuse me? What do you mean I won't?"

From the look on his face I could tell he had shifted from the Steve who was my boyfriend to the Steve who was a solider, the man who was Captain America.

"Just what I said. When you aren't at work or with one of us you will be here. If that's what it takes to keep you safe, then that's what I'll do."

For a fraction of a second his face softened.

"I can't lose you Anna."

Then it was back to Captain Overprotective boyfriend

I'd just been staring at him in shock, I knew Steve had a different mindset ingrained from growing up in the forties but this was way crossing the line. And I think he knew that too, because right after the finished speaking and saw the look on my face he uncrossed his arms and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Anna…I just want to ke-"

I yanked away from him.

"I know Steve, but right now the only thing hurting me is you!"

He let his hand fall to his side, looking very upset. No, not gonna give in just because he looks like a kicked puppy.

"I can't live like this, staying trapped inside. All of you looking at me like I'm going to break any second, its killing me."

He sighed.

"I get it, I do. But you have to stay here where you'll be safe."

He really wasn't getting it! I need to get away before I say something I'll regret later.

"Whatever Steve, I'm not going to apologize for being me."

I started to go back to my room but he grabbed my hand and followed me.

"I'm not asking you to Anna. But you should know better than to go where someone could grab you, again."

Feeling my temper beginning to reach its boiling point, I tried my best not to yell at him as we reached my door.

"If I think like that any random person could be a potential kidnapper. I can't hide for the rest of my life Steve."

He frowned, I could tell he was getting angry again.

"That right there is why I don't want you out alone, you never seem to think about your own safety!"

I don't know what it was but I had had enough.

"That is not true! I train with Clint and Tasha all the time and I always carry around Tony's little gadgets he gave me. I just don't see any and everything as a threat Steve! I can't even be around you without you acting like someone will swoop in and take me away at any moment!"

Heated he threw his hands up in frustration.

"Well it sure seems like you don't! Going out at night without telling anyone, real smart move there. Anything could have happened to you, you are way too trusting. Not everyone is going to be your friend Anna!"

Oh he did not just go there! I'm not so stupid that I think that.

"The only reason I didn't tell anyone is because if I did you wouldn't have let me go!"

His face was flushed with anger.

"You're right I wouldn't have let you go. I don't want to find you dead in an ally because you were too stubborn to listen to me!"

Totally pissed off, I lost it.

"You really think that? Fine then, if you can't trust me then…"

I saw a hint of worry behind the anger appear in his eyes.

"Then what Anna?"

I sighed, and pushed down my anger.

"Then…I think I need some space."

His eyes widened and the worry I spotted took over his expression.

"What do you mean? Are you…"

Even though he was making me really mad, I rushed to reassure him.

"No I'm not breaking up with you, I just think we both need some time to cool off and think about this. I trust you explicitly, we're not going to work if that trust doesn't go both ways Steve. And believe me, I want this to work."

I could tell he understood but the hurt look on his face almost made me take back everything and promise to never leave the tower without him. Almost, in the back of my head I could hear Tasha screaming at me to stand my ground and not give in. So I didn't, no matter how much I wanted to wipe that sad look off his face.

"Alright then, I'll give you some space and think about what you said."

Always wanting things to be okay, I reached over and put my hand on his arm and smiled.

"Thank you Steve."

A tiny smile came on his face, not the normally huge knee-weakening grin but it was good enough for me at the moment.

"Anything for you doll."

That was a week ago and true to his word Steve was giving me space and plenty of it. If the others caught on that we weren't really talking to each other they didn't say anything thankfully.

But it was starting to get to me, I was beginning to feel trapped again. I hadn't been out since my girl's night out, like out just to go out. Not just work and it was getting to me. Board out of my mind, I decided to go thru my desk drawers to keep myself entertained. I was this close to going to find Steve and put all this not talking to each other nonsense behind us, when something stopped me.

And that's when I found it, a small wadded up piece of red construction paper. At first I moved to throw it away but something stopped me. Slowly I unfolded it and I shook my head, not at all surprised at what I found. The messy handwriting and the fact it was once again written in crayon gave it away immediately.

"Sup Kitten,

Time for me to call in that favor of mine. I need some help getting in, you know what? I'll just explain it when I get there. All you need to know right now is to be ready by eight tonight. Wear something sexy, I bet you look great in black. Yeah wear black! And don't even think about backing out on me, I saved your butt so you owe me. See you later tonight Kitten.

The only assassin in your life worth thinking about,

Deadpool"

I looked up from the note wondering how he got in in there and how he would know I'd even find it.

"How am I supposed to get out of here without everyone knowing?"

I glanced back at the wrinkled red paper and noticed something else.

"P.S. I know they've kept you on lockdown, so don't worry about getting out I've got that all figured out."

It was almost as if he knew I would ask that. Funnily enough I was looking forward to getting out of the tower even if it was with Wade.

In the weeks after he rescued me, I'd find little notes in the most random places. For some reason no one ever noticed and I never told them, not like it would do any good. If Wade wanted in I figured he would find a way in. So it became a little game between me and Wade, he showed up a couple times never for very long though. I think he thought it was fun to see how many times he could sneak in without Tony realizing. I don't know how he did it but J.A.R.V.I.S. never caught on so neither did anyone else.

After finishing with cleaning out my desk, I started putting together an outfit for tonight. Ignoring his instructions to wear 'something sexy' I pulled out the dress I wore to one of Tony's fundraising galas. I don't remember what charity it was for but I do remember loving the dress.

It wasn't too short, it hit a couple inches above my knees. It basically looked like a simple strapless dress except it had long sleeves made out of lace, lace that covered the whole thing. And it was black, not that I was taking that into account I just really liked it.

Before I knew it the clock read ten til eight, not really knowing what to do I waited in my room. The last thing I needed was for anyone asking where I was going. So while I waiting, I wrote a little note just in case anyone came in and I wasn't back. Short, simple and to the point.

It wasn't like I really had a choice here, if Wade wanted me to go with him he'd find a way to make me go no matter what I did. I could tell everyone but that might make him mad and the last thing I wanted was a mostly crazy assassin ticked off with me. I really didn't want to be knocked out again so going willingly was the best option here.

"Whatcha doing, you writing your boyfriend a love letter?"

I jumped in fright and would've fallen right out of my chair if he hadn't grabbed my arm.

"Whoa there, I knew you'd be happy to see me but no need to fall all over yourself."

I straightened up, flustered at his sudden arrival.

"What was…NO I'm not…how did you…what are you wearing?"

The red and black mask was still ever present but instead of the body suit he normally wore, Wade was wearing a tuxedo. I'm assuming he had the suit on under it though, as his hands were still covered in red material. Before I could comment on what he was wearing he pulled me closer and twirled me around.

"You like it? You do don't you?"

I smiled at his antics, as I pulled away.

"It's different that's for sure. Now where are we going and why am I all dressed up?"

Even with his face covered I could tell he was smirking at me.

"You don't look to bad yourself Kitten. You dress like this for solider boy, or is that just for me?"

I blushed and looked away. Deciding not to give any of his remarks get to me I ignored it as best I could and tried to get him to give me a straight answer. He tossed something at me before I could though.

It was an awful looking bleach blonde wig and a pair of dark sunglasses.

"Put those on, don't want anybody to recognize you."

Instead of arguing with him, I put them on. I looked terrible, there was a reason I wasn't born a blonde. But I could see his point, I didn't need anyone with a camera spotting me. I was missing the anonymity I enjoyed before the world knew I was a Stark.

"Where are we going Wade? And how are we getting there?"

He grabbed my hand and started fiddling with something in his jacket pocket.

"It's a-"

As he was speaking I felt a weird sensation in my stomach and then everything twisted. Dizzy I blinked and we were somewhere completely different.

"Secret."

We were standing in front of a fancy looking mansion, there were lots of people there and it looked like everyone here was very rich judging by all the super expensive cars. I turned over to Wade when I heard him snickering at me.

"Cat got your tongue? Ha, that's funny cause your name is Kitten."

I took a deep breath to keep from yelling at him.

"What was that?"

He looked down at me.

"Oh that? Just a little gadget from a friend, isn't teleportation cool?"

My eyes widened, did he just say what I think he said?

"Did you day telepo-"

Having never let go of my hand he tugged me forward, towards the enormous house.

"Nope not time to explain! We have to go, don't want to be late."

I could barely keep up as he practically ran up to the large fancy front door, myself in tow behind him. He stopped short and whirled around and looked at me.

"Oh right, need to tell you what's going on. I was hired t-"

I ripped my hand away and glared at him.

"No, absolutely not! Favor or no favor, I am not gonna help you assassinate somebody!"

I swear he was rolling his eyes.

"I do more than killing, just cause I'm good at it doesn't mean it's the only thing I'm good at."

I furrowed my brow, confused.

"Then what ar-"

He sighed and cut me off.

"Shadup a minute and I'll tell ya. I'm here to get blackmail on some rich dude and…hey don't look at me like that!"

I looked down, covering my mouth with my hand to hide a smirk.

"Money is money Kitten, and things have been a little slow lately. As I was saying I just need a couple pictures of some old sleazebag, his wife had the right contacts, is pissed off, and rich."

I was once again confused.

"Then why am I here? Sounds like you've got it covered."

He looked away and started fiddling with this pockets.

"Did I forget to say?"

I wasn't positive but I think he sounded uneasy, like he knew I wasn't going to like what he said next.

He motioned to the doors, still not looking directly at me.

"This is a meet up for douchebags who run or are looking to get into the sex trafficking network in New York City. It was invite only."

He whipped out a black envelope and waved it in my face. I frowned, an idea of why he needed me here forming in the back of my mind.

"Wade…why am I here?"

He started laughing nervously.

"Well…I needed more than the invitation to get in. I had to um, I had to bring my own addition."

I crossed my arms, the reason why I was here becoming clear. I knew he was a little…pervy but really?!

"Do you mean to tell me that you brought me here fo-"

"Hey stop right there! Sure I only found out about this because some old broad had the cash but this whole thing is going down tonight. I may be a bad guy but I'm not that bad. You gonna help me or what?"

My glare lessened a bit.

"If it means all of this…horribleness stops, then yes. But you are never, I repeat never bringing me on one of your jobs again. Got it?"

If I wasn't so mad right now I would have laughed at how fast he nodded his head.

"Sure do, I promise. No more bringing you along. I'll just have to find another reason to kidnap you."

I sighed as he put his arm around my waist and tugged me closer to him.

"Just play along, the other girls here want to be here even less than you do. When I tell you get them out of here, I'll take care of the rest."

I slapped at his hand when it started wandering where it shouldn't.

"Just cause I'm going to play along doesn't mean you have license to get handsy on me."

He shook his head and I'm ninety nine percent positive he was smirking.

"Whatever, just make sure you get out of here when I tell you kay?"

I glared up at him and quit trying to get his arm off of me and let him open the door.

I sighed as he handed the invitation to a butler standing in the entryway, this was going to interesting that's for sure. But then again it always was with him.

As soon as we got inside I could see at least fifteen men standing around in a large room, I'm assuming it was some type of meeting hall. There was a long table set with a ton of food, looks like these guys didn't have much a conscience. I wouldn't be able to eat if I did the things they did. For some reason no one batted an eye at an obnoxious black and red masked guy, in fact there were a couple of other masked people there. Probably because they were public figures and didn't want anyone to know who they were, filthy scumbags.

My attention was brought to the fattest man there when he spoke up, he seemed to be the leader.

"Now that we're all here, take a seat. We have a few new people to show the ropes so let's get to business."

Then he looked over at all the other women who were just standing there waiting to be told what to do.

"You all go over there and let the men talk."

That misogynistic pig! I can't believe people like him are successful.

Soon enough all the other girls, there were about twenty, including me were sent to a smaller table. There was decidedly less food there, this whole thing was making me sick I wouldn't have been able to eat anyway.

"You want to sit here?"

I looked up in surprise, a girl who couldn't be more than twenty had tapped me on the shoulder.

"Uh, sure thanks."

She smiled at me as I sat in the chair next to her.

"No problem, I've never seen you here before."

I could hear the question in her voice, so I smiled back.

"No it's my first time coming. The one over there in the red and black mask brought me. My name i-"

I stopped short, maybe it'd be best if I didn't say my real name.

"It's Kitten. "

A few of the other girls were looking over at us now with smiles. A chorus of hi's sounded around me, the original girl that welcomed me grinned.

"Cool, I'm Kayla. They'll be awhile so we've got plenty of time to talk."

And talk we did. I was blown away by the kindness these girls showed me, it was like I'd known them for years. I found out all kinds of things, like Kayla dreamed of someday being a teacher. And Ashley another sweet girl who was very shy, wanted to go to college. So many hopes and dreams, and none of them ever thought they'd get the chance. But they were all so willing to share the little bright spot they held onto with the others.

Right then and there, I made a silent promise to make sure each and every one of those girls had a chance to follow those dreams. They were getting out of here and they would get their chance.

I was shaken out of my thoughts when Kayla grabbed my arm.

"Kitten, isn't he who you came with?"

I looked up and saw…you know I don't know what I'm seeing. Wade was up from his chair and had dumped fat leader man out of his. He looked over at me and winked, or I think he did it was hard to tell. My eyes widened as he started to take off his suit jacket, this had to be his way of telling me to get them out of here.

I jumped up and grabbed Kayla's hand.

"We need to get out of here now, come on. All of you, we have to go."

For a second I was afraid they would argue and want to stay, but something in my voice must have conveyed the urgency of the situation. As they followed me out of the room I could hear Wade laughing, it was scary if I'm being honest.

"You sickos are lucky I'm here with someone or this wouldn't be nearly as quick."

It wasn't five seconds after I got the door closed that you could hear screaming, grimacing I lead the terrified group of girls farther away from the bloodbath I assumed was happening behind the doors.

"W-whats going on?"

Poor little Ashley was shaking, I grabbed her hand.

"You're getting out of here, that's what."

I decided not to go into more detail than that, it probably wouldn't help anyway. I just settled for keeping all out hysteria from breaking out.

Only a few minutes later the loud slam of a door echoed thru the house, and Wade came walking into the entryway we had gathered in. He had his jacket slung over his shoulder in a nonchalant manner, but the twin katanas on his back and two different handguns on his belt did nothing for the shaken group of women. Where he had those hidden all night was beyond me, I just wanted to get out of here.

"Heya Kitten!"

I almost laughed, he was waving animatedly taking no notice of the blood splattered on his shirt. It finally hit me of what Wade reminded me of.

A puppy.

A deadly schizophrenic puppy that is.

I let go of Ashley's trembling hand and walked over to him before he got any closer.

"Wade, you're scaring them."

He glanced down at himself and back over at the group of girls.

"Oh, oops. You ready to get out of here?"

"What about them? We can't just leave them here."

He sighed.

"I know that, that's why I called in an anonymous tip to the cops. They've been trying to bust these guys for a long time, in fact…"

He put a hand against his ear, listening.

Police sirens could be heard in the distance.

"See there? Now we gotta get out of here."

I knew he was right but I had to do something first.

I ran back over to Kayla and Ashley and threw my arms around them. I don't know if it was because they were scared but they hugged me back tightly.

Quickly, because Wade was getting antsy I grabbed a nearby pen and hastily wrote my number on both their palms.

"Whatever it is, if you need anything call me. Okay?"

The just nodded, still in shock.

"Well this has been fun but it's time to go now."

Before I could say anything else I heard Wade huff inn impatience and grab my arm. Then the same twisting I felt before returned and we were gone.

Slowly I opened my eyes and I could see we were in an alleyway, somewhere close to the tower. I could see its tall structure nearby, so if I needed to I could get home from here.

"I'm hungry, how bout you?

I didn't get much of a chance to answer.

"Actually I'm no-"

Grabbing my hand he started tugging me out of the alley.

"Good! I know this great place, they have the best chimichangas. Let's go."

After walking about a block we came to a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant, we were one of the only ones inside. Wade immediately ordered for both of us, even though I'll just end up snacking on the chips.

"Soooo, did you…kill them?"

His head snapped up.

"Why did you want me to?"

Eyes growing wide, I quickly shook my head.

"No! I just…I don't know. I wanted to know what happened."

There was a dark tone to his voice.

"No, all of those bastards will live. But whatever reputation they had before tonight is gone, there's enough evidence to put them all away for a long time. They deserved worse, but however many months in the hospital will have to do. For now."

I could feel the corners of my lips turning up, as much as he seemed a bad guy Wade could be pretty good.

"You did a good thing Wade, albeit in a violent manner But those girls…you saved them."

He chuckled.

"Whatever Kitten, as long as I get paid at the end of the day."

I rolled my eyes and started to tell him I wasn't buying it, but the waiter came back with the food. I almost gasped, I had never seen that much Mexican food before. It looked like enough food to feed Steve, Thor, Bruce, and Peter. And they could eat a lot!

Just as I was about to comment on how no one could possibly eat that much, he rolled up his mask to where just his nose and mouth were showing.

I knew there much have been a reason he never took his mask off and I was right. He was disfigured, I would've said burns but it looked more like scar tissue. It almost looked like the scars were shifting, not in one fixed place. Personally it didn't look so horrible that I was freaked out but it was still pretty bad.

"You got something to say?"

I realized I'd been caught staring, I met his gaze sheepishly.

"No Wade, I don't. It's none of my business."

He nearly dropped the taco he was holding.

"Really? Nothing? You're not even a little bit freaked out?"

There was a vulnerability there, long hidden pain shining though.

I smiled softly at him.

"Why would I be? My best friend can turn blue, takes a little more than that to freak me out Wade. Just cause you don't look like Ryan Reynolds doesn't mean I'll go running for the hills."

He just looked at me for a second in shock, before recovering with a huge grin.

"I thought I was your best friend."

I laughed.

"Nope, that spots already taken. You do remind me of an old friend though."

I was just now seeing it but Wade sometimes reminded me of Howard Stark, his constant flirting and bad boy routine. And crazy, there was no denying Wade was a bit crazy.

"I'm cooler right?"

It was kinda nice not to have to guess if he was smiling or not.

"Yeah sure you are Wade."

It was later that night and Wade had just brought me back home. I got cleaned up and was about to go to bed, when I got the sudden urge to go see Steve even though it was late. I just missed him and wanted to see him. Screw giving me space! I needed to see him.

I opened my door to head to his room, only to find him standing there about to knock. Before he could say anything, I hugged him. He responded immediately, wrapping his strong arms around me.

"I missed you, I missed this."

He laughed and squeezed me a little tighter before letting go.

"Same here. But I did have time to think about what you said."

I looked up into the pair of blue eyes I couldn't get enough of.

"You did, did you? What did you decide?"

He smiled at me.

"I want this, us. So…I trust you. You were right, I can't expect you to be in danger every time you walk out that door. It's not fair of me."

"Steve...thank you. You were right too, I need to be more careful."

He had leaned down and now our faces were only inches apart now, I was having trouble concentrating.

"Anything for you doll."

I beamed up at him and then closed the gap between us, kissing him soundly. He knew how much I loved it when he would pull out his 40's pet names. We finally pulled away from each other for air.

"I love you Steve, I love you so much."

He grinned and captured my lips again, pushing me against the door. I melted into the kiss, the things he did to me!

"I love you too Anna."

I've been thinking about doing some crossover one-shots, what do you guys think? Most of the ideas I have are for Supernatural and Sherlock. I might do them anyway but let me know if you've got any ideas on that.

Oh and the awesome cover pic was made by grapejuice101 Thanks for that! =)
