Wade Wilson was sat up on the high railing of a bridge in full Deadpool costume, a crayon in his hand and Walkman at his side blasting out 90s rap.
He hummed along to himself, grinning behind his mask.
He had had just the best night's sleep…right there beside Missy. The person he cared about most in the world…
Ok, she didn't know exactly who he was yet, but nevertheless he had been close the her, held her…and in a way that was progress…..right?
If he could just find Francis and get his old face back then he could be free to be with her for good. And he wouldn't even need a mask to do so!
Wade had left this morning before she had even woken.
He had watched her sleeping for a bit, curled up into him… but he had business to attend to…
Yesterday he had received a tip off, that a convoy of Francis and his men, would be making his way along the freeway below…any minute now…
And Wade was going to be there to capture that British asshole and get his fucking life, AND his girl back…once and for all…
Missy took in a deep breath and blinked open her eyes, as the warm morning sunlight drifted over her face.
It took her a moment to remember what had happened the previous night.
She had asked Deadpool to stay with her…
Missy had felt so, so safe and so loved, wrapped in his strong arms…
A masked-man she didn't even know…
But this morning, as she gazed about the room, there seemed to be no sign of him.
Despite this, she was still grateful to him for staying with her.
After seeing David like that, she had felt vulnerable and…..almost nervous about being alone.
This was just what David did to her…made her feel like she had no control…no hope…
Slipping out of the bedcovers, she padded across the bedroom floor on bare feet. Making her way into the living room.
She ran her fingers through her long messy hair and rubbed at her smudged make up.
Quickly flipping on the tv, she headed into the kitchen to make herself breakfast….
"Someone's not counting," uttered Wade in a playful tone as he lay across the asphalt, head propped up on his elbow. He raised his gun easily and shot the armed man, stood atop an abandoned car, right through the skull. "Six."
Missy ambled back into her living room, a piece of toast in her hand and a cup of strong coffee in the other.
Placing her cup down onto the table, she slumped down onto the couch, tucking her legs beneath her, glancing up as breaking news story appeared on her tv screen.
"A multi-car collision turned shots fired on the crosstown expressway this morning," said the newsreader, in a concerned voice. As some blurry footage of several abandoned cars came up on screen. "Gridlock has kept police from the scene. Residents are advised to remain their homes."
Missy gave a frown, as she suddenly saw a red-masked man leaping over a car, his gun held aloft.
"The assailant appears to be armed, dangerous and wearing red suit," said the newsreader.
Missy gaped as she watched the looped footage of the man she had cuddled up to mere hours ago, gun in his hand, looking far more a supervillain that a superhero, that was for sure…
Missy gave a huff, scowling.
Jeez, was it so hard for her to find a normal guy for once….
But that was when she realised…
Every single one of her dates had been 'normal guys'…but she didn't want them….
She wanted Deadpool…
Wade lay in the back of the garbage truck, on his back, hand-less, staring up at the blue sky…
He gave a sigh…
Goddamn Francis!
Yet again here he was, another day further away from getting his old life back.
And a day further away from having Missy…
There was no way she could love him looking like this. No fucking way.
But right now there was no denying how he felt… he had loved her when she was with David and he still loved her now.
And if he had to wait a lifetime to be with her again, then so be it…
But every single day, he would keep trying…
Sorry it's only a short one today I'm a little run down with wedding planning stress and am super busy at work. Just having a bad couple of days I think.
