The ride back was quiet; no one said anything to anyone. All eyes were on the blonde who just stared at the .45 in her hand. Andy couldn't really describe how she was feeling, elated was too strong a word but guilt didn't weigh into her decision at all. She didn't feel guilty about killing Stryker and that felt liberating. The telepath had killed Victor before and mortally wounded Logan and Wade in a weapons session but that was different, they could come back, heal. Smiling a bit she looked up at Creed then Wade looking positively sick with worry even through the face mask. Andy's smile got a bit bigger as she tossed Wilson his pistol, "Your trigger sticks."
He caught it, "You didn't sweet talk it. Ya always gotta sweet talk sexy little things to make 'em work right," he winked at her.
"Indeed," Andy rolled her eyes. Looking between the beast and the mercenary again, a decision was going to have to be made. Could she really date Victor? Was that even in the realm of possibilities? Yes, he had saved her, Logan saw that. They had worked together. Dating would be an entirely different thing. Then there was Wade. Andy chuckled slightly, Logan and Victor heard her. The blonde looked up and shook her head. How she loved the insane and unstable killer. It was beyond reason; then again love was beyond reason. Catching Wade's eyes, holding his gaze for a moment then looking away; if he was around it would be an easy choice.
"Damn."
"What?"
"You really need to start paying attention; I can't keep pointing things out for you."
The chopper landed and the four of them filed out again. Andy pulled on Wade's arm, "Hey," she started softly, "Let's go talk."
"Yeah, I know, my common sense was tingling."
The blonde smiled, "Come on Wilson." Interlocking her fingers with his the telepath led him back to her room.
Closing the door behind her, Andy paced a bit not knowing how to start. Wade smiled, he loved this about her, never wanted to give anyone bad news. It was adorable.
"Adorable? The love of your live is going to break up with you for fucking Sabretooth and you're calling her adorable?!"
"What? She is, look at her. So nervous, wringing her pretty little hands and mumbling to herself; it's precious." He walked over to her placing strong hands on her shoulders, stopping her nervous movement, "Dom, it's okay. Just talk to me." He pulled her to the bed and held her for a bit, just feeling her body next to his. He'd missed this, being away was hard but when you're gone long enough you forget the things you miss the most. Wade forgot how much he missed her. Oh this was going to suck.
"Just figuring that out now?"
"Shhh, moment ruiner," Wilson whispered and Andy laughed.
"That's not even a word genius."
"It is too, Ash just added it to the Word dictionary."
"Are you done arguing with yourself," Andy giggled.
"For the moment," he kissed her head.
The blonde pulled away to look at the masked man. "I can't do this with that on your head. Can you please take it off?"
Wade nodded and pulled off his mask revealing his unnatural tone, the bumps, scars and craters that covered his damaged skin. It was strange, he never really liked revealing his face to anyone, but he never minded when Andromeda asked him to; made him feel more human, more like he used to be. "You don't have to do this. I know what you're trying to do."
Andy looked at him; most of the world including Wade thought he was hideous she on the other hand didn't see him that way. Looking at his face, yes it was scarred and not the handsome man she met at Weapon X but there was sincerity and a beauty to him in this state. The blonde thought he was more attractive now then back then; his eyes were what did her in. Those knowing, kind, lively and striking brown eyes; Andy got lost in them for a moment before speaking, "I know, but I owe you some explanation."
He took her face in his hands and kissed her, "No you don't," he whispered into her lips.
"Wade," she sighed breathing him in. "Don't distract me."
"No, distract her, rip off her clothes. Make her forget all about Sabreface out there, you'll thank me later."
"Are you distracted Mr. Wilson?" her breathy voice asked lips still touching his. "I can hear your thoughts."
"Maybe just a little," he covered her mouth with his, pushing her down on the bed; his left hand grabbing both of hers and pinning them above her head, kissing down her face and jawline, nibbling neck and collarbone. His right hand roamed over her midsection moving slowly over her smooth skin to her breasts.
"Wade," she moaned into his mouth.
Swallowing her cry, he continued his exploration of her body; moving his hand to her waist he undid her jeans, "Just once let me be the dom," he whispered as he sucked her earlobe into his mouth.
Andy smiled as she nuzzled into his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist, "I was always your sub," she whispered.
"Such a good girl," Wade pulled her up cradling her face in his hands his brown eyes filled with warmth and love. "Just promise me one thing, don't fall in love with the creep." Tears streamed down her face and she couldn't even look at him. "Hey, hey, Andromeda," he pulled her close to his chest.
"You have never called me by my full name as long as I've known you," she laughed through her sobs.
"Well this calls for formality," he teased her.
"Whatever Wade Winston Wilson," she burrowed closer to his chest just listening to his heartbeat. It wasn't like a regular heartbeat, the accelerated healing factor he had sped everything up, including his heart. It was fast and there was an irregular beat to it, but it was always so comforting to her, like a broken second hand on grandfather clock. It made her feel better about her decision even if for a moment.
"You gave up too easily."
"I did not. We want different things."
"What do you mean," Andy raised her head looking at him.
"Dom, come on," he held her face, "I know you want to get married and have a family. I'm not that type; you knew that back at Weapon X. I love you kid but we knew this was doomed from the start."
He kissed her lips lightly. Andy smiled slightly, "You know for someone who's supposed to be insane, you're rather clever."
"Just the way I'm written," he winked at her.
"I'm going to miss you, very much."
"Don't worry your pretty British head; we'll see each other at the SHIELD employee appreciation day." His phone rang, "How does he do that? Hey Phil…yeah…no, no, no, she's fine. Yeah, yeah…Phil, it was one time around the block…Brad is…who? Yeah, hang on." He handed the phone to Andy.
"Agent Coulson, fine just had to take care of some past demons. He'll be heading back now, thank you for letting me borrow him. Right, just let me know when and where, Phil," she giggled and Wade shot her a look. Andy shrugged, "Of course, Phil, I'll be careful. I look forward to it. Thank you. He's all yours."
Wade snatched the phone back, "Coulson, yeah…no I'm headed back now." He hung up and pushed Andy to the mattress again, "What was with all the giggling?"
"I owe him dinner and he's very charming," she kissed him and pushed him off her.
"Coulson?"
Andy nodded, "Now go, who I see romantically is none of your business anymore."
"You're evil woman!"
The blonde smirked, "You better get going I don't want to owe Coulson anything else."
Wade stood up, pulled his mask back on and brought Andy up to meet him, "You ever need anything don't hesitate to call me. I'll drop everything for you, even if it's Logan. You gonna be ok?"
She inhaled and blew out the breath, "Yeah, I'll be ok." Pulling up his mask she kissed him goodbye for the last time, "I love you Wade Wilson."
Wade walked out of her room towards the garage where his motorcycle was.
"You aren't even going to say anything to her?!"
"What more do I have left to say? She knows I love her, that's all that matters."
The Merc with the Mouth started his bike and rode off to the hotel. He was going to get an earful from Fury but he didn't care, Andy was his first priority. As far as he was concerned the telepath always would be.
