2. Bottom of the Top
As the roommates made their way to Sonic's, some unexprected surprises await them at the resteraunt.
Dante, Iron Man, and Wolverine were cruising in their respective vehicles. The rain pelted the vehicles, and made navigation more of a hassle.
All three of the drivers flipped on the windshield wipers, and Ryu watched in wonder as the wipers wiped away the water. He followed the wipers with his eyes and smiled. It was a very dreary ride filled with mostly silence. The guests were hungry, and growing impatient.
Dante groaned as the light went red. Cars flooded the road. And the only thing you could see was the flashing lights in the neon city. Signs lit up, and billboards had the dumbest advertisements on them. I mean really, "So easy a caveman could do it?" Get real.
The city was overflowing with color. Clubs, bars, stores left and right. A giant Wal-Mart sat to the right, near the middle of the Seth Killian Highway. Verizon Wireless store, Resteraunts, Insurance places, Gamestop, Clothing stores, you name it. It was there. People walking the streets with umbrellas, puddles being splashed along the way, the city was drenched by the neverending shower.
IN THE HUMMER
Dante flipped up his cellphone. He proceeded to call Iron Man, because quite frankly, Dante was lost.
Ring...ring...ring...
Iron Man finally glanced at his silent phone and picked it up.
Iron Man: What's up, Dante?
Dante: Dude, where are you? Was I supposed to make a right on Dhalsim Road?
Iron Man: Yeah. After that, you just keep straight, and you should see it to your right.
Dante: Alright, thanks. You made it yet?
Iron Man: Yeah, we're just now pulling in.
Dante: Are you guys eating inside? Or are we going through the drive-thru?
Iron Man: I...I don't know...I guess we could eat inside. I'm starving.
Dante: Yeah, same here. Alright, meet ya there.
*Click*
Dante: Hang on guys, we're almost there.
Chris was sitting in the passengers seat, looking out the window. All the neon signs and lights intrigued him. Ryu was still watching the wipers in the backseat. Trish just looked around and messed with her hair. Chun just sat in the middle, quiet as a mouse.
Dante sighed. Why did the ride have to be so dreary?
After about 4 more minutes of riding, they finally made it to Sonic's and regrouped with the rest of the guests.
Iron Man was at the register, intent on buying everything on the menu.
The cashier was an extremely tall, bald man. He wore no shirt, and had a giant scar on his chest. He wore an eyepatch, and had bandages wrapped around his fists. His namecard was stuck to the upper right side of his chest like a sticker. It said "Sagat". His voiced boomed throughout the resteraunt.
Sagat: Welcome to Sonic's. How may I take your order?
Iron Man: I would like a Chilli Cheese Coney, a corn dog, and a SuperSonic Cheeseburger.
Sagat: Anything to drink with that?
Iron Man: Sprite.
Sagat looked at Iron Man closely.
Sagat: What's with the suit?
Iron Man: I'm a superhero.
Iron Man coughed after what he said. There was an awkward silence.
Sagat: Right...
Iron Man: No, what I meant to say was...umm well, I'm in this game called Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and I'm on the Marvel side.
Sagat: Really? I tried out for that game, but I got cut. Ono said there would be.."too many Street Fighter characters". He was probably scared because of what happened after vanilla Street Fighter IV.
Iron Man: What happened?
Sagat: I was top tier.
Iron Man: Oh..
Sagat: Well, enough babbling.
Sagat turned around and walked down into the kitchen. His loud roar still boomed throughout the place, even though he was yelling in the background.
"ADON, YOU HAVE AN ORDER." Sagat screamed.
Adon was flipping patties with a spatula.
"TIGERS ARE NO MATCH FOR JAGUARS!" Adon yelled.
"IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP, MT TIGER UPPERCUT IS GOING STRAIGHT UP YOUR REAR END!" Sagat roared.
"I'M TOO QUICK FOR YOU, OLD MAN." Adon boasted.
"ADON, STOP PLAYING AROUND. I'M SERIOUS. YOU'RE GONNA GET FIRED BY URIEN IF YOU DON'T STOP." Sagat threatened.
Adon quickly shut his mouth and began to work on the order.
Sagat returned to the counter.
Sagat: Sorry.
Iron Man: No problem.
20 MINUTES LATER.
All the guests had gotten their food and they were enjoying it. They chatted about random things as they enjoyed their meals.
Dante sat with Chris and Ryu, right behind the five mentioned next.
Chun Li sat with Trish, Morrigan, Felicia, and Amaterasu in a booth.
Wolverine sat with Hulk, Iron Man, and Deadpool.
Doctor Doom sat with Super Skrull and Captain Amercia, across from the four just mentioned.
Dante: So, Ryu...you know you have to pay me back, right?
Ryu: Yeah..I know.
Ryu took a huge bite out of his burger and washed it down with lemonade. Dante smiled as he did so.
Chris poked at his salad.
Chris: This salad is pretty good.
Dante gnashed on some of his chicken sandwich.
Dante: Chris, is that all you got?
Chris: No way. I'm saving my burger for later.
Ryu: Smart idea.
Chris: Yeah.
Dante: So what are we gonna do when we get home? Mess with Wolvie some more?
Ryu: I'm down.
Chris: Me too. Hahahaha.
Dante: Cool then. After that, we can play Mario Kart.
Felicia's ears perked. She looked over her seat and stared at Dante.
Felicia: Mario Kart? I love that game!
Dante: Hey hey hey! We got four players!
Ryu: Umm...I don't know how to play...
Chris: It's easy Ryu. We'll show you.
Ryu: There are too many buttons on the controller..
Chris: We will show you. Calm down.
Ryu slumped in his seat. "May Metsu have mercy on my soul..." he muttered.
Meanwhile, Trish whispered to Chun-Li and Morrigan.
Trish: Ryu is doing our laundry. This is bad.
Morrigan: Tell me about it.
Morrigan stuck her hot dog in her mouth and her tongue rolled all over it before she took a bite.
Dante's mouth nearly hit the floor as he watched. Chris' eyes were about to pop out of his head and Iron Man had to wipe his forehead.
Chun Li just rolled her eyes.
Chun: Morrigan they are staring at you.
Morrigan giggled.
Morrigan: So? Let them stare.
Amaterasu chuckled.
Amaterasu: Morrigan you are funny.
Morrigan: I know.
She chewed on her hot dog and looked over at Iron Man, who turned his attention to something else to make it seem like he wasn't staring.
Trish: Tony is sweating really hard...that is too funny.
Chun-Li: Look at Chris..
Chun Li stared at Chris, who was in an alternate universe. She laughed pretty hard at his extremely comical expression.
Wolverine was chatting with Hulk.
Wolverine: I swear, if those three mess with me tonight, all hell will break loose.
Hulk: Calm down Logan, Hulk will stop them.
Wolverine: Thanks Hulk, but those three are clowns. I know they are gonna fuck with me.
Hulk: You're too paranoid Logan. CALM DOWN.
Deadpool: Yeah, I don't think they would pull any pranks on you tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
Wolverine: Grahh...maybe.
Wolverine snorted and threw away his trash. He sat back down and chewed on a toothpick.
Super Skrull fell alseep at his table. Skrull had a tendency that whenever he finished a good meal, he magically fell asleep afterwards because his body was delighted.
Doctor Doom just sat and ate his meal quietly.
Just then, a scream was heard in the kitchen. Everyone turned to look toward that direction. Sagat immediately groaned and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Sagat: Oh boy..Adon what happ-
Sagat's eye immediately grew to be the size of a dinnerplate. Adon was on the floor, unconcious. Sagat ran over and slapped Adon a few times.
Sagat: Adon..what happened?
As Sagat muttered his question, three cooks surrounded the two. An old man named Gen, a middle aged man named Barry, and a Latino luchador named El Fuerte.
Barry: From what I saw, he was almost an Adon Sandwich!
Gen: Indeed. There was a shadowy figure in here..I couldn't see it. After about three seconds, Adon was on the floor!
El Fuerte: I ALMOST SOILED MY PANTALONES, AMIGO.
Sagat: Hmm..that's strange..
The lights suddenly turned off. The only thing that could be seen were the flashing lights outside. The place was pitch black. After a few seconds, an old man screaming could be heard.
Doctor Doom: What is the meaning of this?
Deadpool: Oh my god, it's like a horror movie! Everyone knows the comic relief bites the dust first!
Hulk: Deadpool, no one will be biting the dust tod-
"HOLY JALAPENO! MY TORTILLAS ARE BEING SMASHED!" El Fuerte screamed in the back.
Deadpool: -you were saying Hulk?
Dante: Huh..this is crazy.
Morrigan: Yet..exciting at the same time.
As these words were muttered, Ryu rushed into the kitchen. Numerous screams could be heard.
"HADOUKEN, SHORYUKEN, TATSUMAKI SENPUKYAKU!"
Pots, pans, and many other kitchen utensils boomed in the background. The shadowy figure was dazed, and he lay on the floor, next to Adon. The lights came on immediately and revealed who the shadowy figure was. It was a Capcom Employee Ninja.
Ryu was horrified at the sight. A note was stapled to the back of his head. Ryu grabbed it and read it.
"If any of you are reading this, you have 20 minutes to get back to the house."
The letter fell out of Ryu's hand. He ran out of the kitchen with foam coming from his mouth.
Ryu: GUYS WE ONLY HAVE 20 MINUTES TO GET HOME!
Dante immediately spit out his soda.
Dante: WHAT?
Iron Man: WHO SAID!
Ryu: The Capcom Employee Ninja had a note! It was Ono's handwriting!
Trish: Who? Capcom Employee Ninja? Did he turn off the lights?
Ryu: Yes! It was a sign! A...a...a warning! OF what's going to happen to US if we don't get home!
Ryu's words had never been so jumbled.
Chris: Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Immediately afterwards, lightning struck outside.
Hulk: Wait guys...HULK IS SAD.
Deadpool: Why!
Hulk: Our house is going to be flooded!
Iron Man slapped his forehead.
Iron Man: THAT DAMN HOLE IN THE CEILING!
Dante: We're fucked!
Chun: Oh my god...
Wolverine: It doesn't matter. Let's go!
The roommates dashed for the exit and they all piled in their respective vehicles, except for a few.
Iron Man didn't get in the Ferrari. He tossed the keys to Captain America.
Iron Man: Drive the Ferrari!
Captain: What are you going to do, Tony?
Iron Man: I'm flying home!
Lightning struck in the background as the rain made the struggle even more dramatic.
Captain: That's suicide Tony!
Iron Man: ...I DON'T CARE.
Iron Man made a great leap and soared high into the ominous sky. Morrigan followed him, while Doctor Doom struggled to keep up. Super Skrull soared through the sky as well.
Captain America watched as the four pierced through the sky, on their way home.
Captain America jumped in the Ferrari and drove home along with Amaterasu.
Dante was already about halfway there. He was speeding through the traffic and sped past red lights. He was going over 80 mph and he didn't care. Ryu's eyes grew larger.
Ryu: WE ONLY HAVE SEVEN MINUTES!
Trish: Oh god Dante go faster!
Dante: Stop it Trish! Now is NOT the time to arouse me!
Trish: UGH, YOU HAVE SUCH A DIRTY MIND!
Dante: Care to bathe it for me?
Chun: SHUT UP AND DRIVE!
Chris started to sweat. He silently said "Oh shit" to himself over and over again.
Wolverine wasn't far behind Dante. He stayed hot on Dante's trail for a long time...until...an 18 Wheeler pulled out in front of him.
The 18 wheeler also had two brothers which proceeded to trap Wolverine within a triangle.
Wolverine gritted his teeth and began to explode with large amounts of profanity.
Hulk covered Felicia's ears. Deadpool just covered his face with his hands.
Dante blasted down the highway.
Chris: FOUR MINUTES!
Chun: We're not gonna make it..
Trish: Nope.
Fire burned in Ryu's eyes. Determination settled in his heart. His theme began to play as he rolled down his window. The rain poured into the car, all over Chun Li.
Ryu stuck his head out the window as his headband billowed in the wind. Rain pelted his face and hair. He stuck his arms out the window and did his Hadouken motion but with 10x more concentration and intensity.
Ryu: SHINKU, !
A large stream of plasma shot from Ryu's hands backward, which propelled the Hummer to extreme speeds of over 160 mph.
Dante: WOOOHOOOOO! OH YEAH, NOW THIS IS SPEED!
Everything outside was a blur. Dante could barely control the Hummer. Every car either moved out of the way, or got absolutely bowled over. Dante felt like Moses parting the Red Sea.
MEANWHILE
Iron Man was soaring high above, along with Super Skrull, Doctor Doom and Morrigan.
Iron Man looked down as he soared and saw a pissed off Hummer flying down the highway.
Iron Man slapped his helmet. He knew it had to be Dante.
Doctor Doom: Tony, Morrigan, Skrull...we have GOT to hurry.
Skrull: Indeed. We don't have much time.
As the team of four soared overhead, lightning was making its presence known.
KEEEEERRRRRRKRACKLE.
A quick, powerful jolt of electricy zapped Doctor Doom right in his back. A speechless Doctor Doom quickly plummeted out of the sky, spiraling like a plane in mayday, smoke trailing from his body.
Iron Man: What the hell just happened!
Iron Man looked down and saw Doctor Doom plummeting down towards the busy highway below.
Skrull: DOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!
Morrigan: Skrull, go catch him!
Skrull: We don't have time!
Iron Man: DAMMIT Skrull! Doom is your friend! GO GET HIM. For all we know he could be dead!
Skrull: He can't be...
Iron Man: He could be.
Skrull's eyes showed no emotion. He stopped in mid-flight and looked downward. As he did so, flames erupted from his body. He quickly blasted downward, intent on catching up to a falling Doom.
Morrigan: Let's go, Tony.
Iron Man nodded.
IN THE HUMMER
Dante: ALMOST THERE BABY.
Chris: Dammit Dammit Dammit Damn Damn Dammit...
Chun: CHRIS, SHUT UP!
Chris turned around and pointed at Chun-Li ferociously.
Chris: DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP, WOMAN!
Trish: Chris, calm down. We're gonna be fine.
Ryu's eyes went wide as he saw something in the road no one else did.
"NIIIINNNNNJJJAAAAAAAAA!"
Dante: OH GIMME A BREAK!
A ninja, clad in black was standing in the middle of the highway, anticipating the Hummer, katana in hand.
Trish: Dante...!
Chris: RUN HIM OVER!
Dante made no effort in swerving the vehicle. He was intent on running the lone ninja over. The ninja began to run towards the Hummer, his katana in hand. He raised it high and was about to leap before...
KABOOM!
A fiery figure completely blew up the ninja in mid-jump. The figure raced beside the Hummer.
Dante looked over at the figure and instantly grinned.
Dante: SKRULL!
Skrull carried Doctor Doom over his shoulder and gave Dante a thumbs-up. He used his elastic arms to thrust the Hummer to an even faster speed.
The House could be seen and it was getting closer and closer. Dante could taste it. Dante slammed on brakes as he completely annihilated the lawn, inches from crashing into the garage. Chris's airbag shot out and slammed Chris in the face, knocking him out immediately.
Everyone in the Hummer unbuckled and quickly ran into the flooded house.
Super Skrull landed outside and carried Doctor Doom in. He looked at the sky and saw Morrigan and Iron Man not too far behind. He raced in the house with his friend.
Wolverine swerved in the yard 30 seconds later. He rushed out and sprinted towards the house along with Hulk, Deadpool, and Felicia.
Captain America soon arrived. He and Amaterasu made their way in as well, picking up an unconcious Chris along the way.
As soon as Captain America slammed the door shut, Deadpool counted down the time.
Deadpool: 5...4...3...2...1...
Ryu: We made it.
Trish brushed her hair.
Trish: I don't know how.
Iron Man: Me either.
Super Skrull trudged through the flooded house and sat Doctor Doom on the couch.
Dante looked at Skrull.
Dante: You're a lifesaver Skrull.
Skrull: Don't mention it.
Hulk: Now we must find a way to drain our home.
Deadpool: Yeah. I think Felicia is going to have a panic attack.
Felicia just sat on a floating stool crying, slowly drifting off down the hallway.
Wolverine tiptoed through the liquid, grunting every second of the way.
Captain America: So now what?
Hulk: WE FIND A WAY TO DRAIN HOME. HULK JUST SAID THIS.
Deadpool: Yeah yeah yeah. But how do we do that?
Ryu: Hmmm...
Dante: Ryu? Any ideas?
Ryu: Evaporation.
Dante: Hmm...but how?
Ryu: Skrull can use fire. Fire on water makes steam. Chun-Li and I blow steam away with our respective tornado kicks.
Hulk: Is that going to work?
Deadpool: We gotta try. Haha! Alright Super Skrull, let's rock!
Deadpool pointed at Skrull triumphantly. Skrull just glared at Deadpool.
Skrull stood up and immediately his body burst into flames. As Ryu predicted, the water started disappearing. Slowly, but surely. Ryu did his Tasumaki Senpukyaku and Chun Li did her Spinning Bird Kick to fan the steam.
Deadpool was amazed. His eyes were glowing with wonder. The Hulk was not impressed however.
Hulk: This is fictional universe. I highly doubt such nonsense could be performed in reality.
Deadpool sighed and slapped the back of his head.
Deadpool: You're such a killjoy, Hulk.
Hulk: Hulk speaks truth.
LATER ON
Dante marveled at the fantastic job Ryu and the gang did. He slapped Ryu on the back and gave him a thumbs up.
Ryu was exhausted. He limped over to the dry recliner and sat his ass down quickly.
Ryu: Oh my Hadouken...I am tired.
Chris: You did a good job. I think Ono will be pleased. No more ninjas for us.
Captain America opened the blinds to look out into the moonlight.
Captain America: I'm getting sleepy. I think I'm gonna call it a night.
Amaterasu: WOOF. (Same here)
Deadpool shrugged. He then looked over at the TV and his mouth hit the floor. He pointed at the scene with one crooked, shaking finger and muttered, "W-W-Whaaaaaaaat!"
The TV was still intact. Along with the 360 and PS3. Apparently, they were water-proof. Who knew?
Iron Man laughed out loud.
Iron Man: Holy shit...I don't believe it! Ono is a genious.
Chun: Yeah. He is actually.
Dante strolled about casually. "Hmm..." he thought to himself. Dante was bored. He needed something to do. And fast.
Dante: Chris, wanna go to the bar?
Chris: I would man, but I think I'm gonna pass. I need some rest.
Dante: Ahhh man, come on Chris! What about you Ryu?
Ryu was propped up on the recliner, soundly asleep. Dante rolled his eyes.
Dante: Wolverine?
Wolverine shrugged.
Wolverine: I guess. I'm not sleepy or nothin' so I'll go.
Deadpool piped up.
Deadpool: Oooo me too! Me too!
Hulk began to walk toward his room, Amaterasu, and Skrull carrying Dr. Doom following.
Dante looked over at the ladies and immediately smiled.
Dante: I know you wanna go, Morrigan.
Morrigan smirked.
Morrigan: You know me too well, Dante.
Dante: Not really.
Chun-Li sighed and walked into the kitchen.
Chun: I'll pass.
Trish walked with her.
Trish: Same. It's late. Maybe some other time.
Dante laughed and spread apart his arms as if offended.
Dante: Trish! What happened to your edge!
Trish: The same thing that happened to your penis when I slammed it with the door.
Everyone in the room howled with laughter. Hulk burst through the wall for no apparent reason to laugh at Dante. Hulk was ROARING with laughter, shaking the whole house.
Dante's face began to burn red. He let out an insane outburst and pointed one finger at the Hulk.
Dante: Why the fuck are you laughing! You don't even have one, you steroid-taking piece of walking spinach!
Hulk ran up to Dante and stood over him.
Hulk: Hulk thinks you better be silent, or Hulk fist becomes one with your diaphram.
Dante did not back down and nobody was planning on stopping the imminent brawl. Dante's sword made a noise, and he gave off a smug smirk.
Hulk clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
SECONDS LATER
Super Skrull emerged from his room wearing rubber gloves, goggles, and holding a medical kit. He immediately dropped the kit and fell to his knees. His arms shook and he grinned insanely.
Super Skrull: HE'S ALLLLIIIIIIVVVVEEEEEEEEEE!
The gang stared at him. They were all thinking, "What the hell is wrong with this guy?"
Iron Man: Say what, Skrull?
Super Skrull: Doom! He's back! I fixed him!
Hulk's eyes went wide. He immediately thought to himself. "Skrull...FIXING something? Oh no..."
Hulk ran through the same wall he came from and shot to the room Doom was in. What he saw was unlike anything he had ever seen. Dante snorted.
Dante: Heh, better run.
Trish: He was so totally gonna kick your ass.
Wolverine: Yeah bub, Bruce isn't one to fuck around with. I know from personal experience.
Dante: Says you! You tried to fight him earlier!
Wolverine: No, that's my animal side. Bruce knows I get a little crazy sometimes. And that was one of those times.
Deadpool: I wish I was an animal. I'd be a platypus! Like Perry! From Fineas and Ferb!
Iron Man: That's nice.
Morrigan: Soooo...are we leaving now?
Dante: Yeah. I guess so.
Chris closed the fridge and walked down the hall toward his room.
Dante grabbed the keys to the Hummer.
Dante: Looks like I'm driving my baby again!
Deadpool: Yeah, looks like it. But wait...I have a question.
Dante: Shoot.
Deadpool: Where's Felicia?
Wolverine immediately frowned, then his mouth gaped open.
Wolverine: Oh no...
Wolverine bounded down the right hallway and slashed through the last door on the left.
There lay Felicia...cold and wet. Shaking on the floor. Her eyes were closed, her body was limp, and she smelled terrible. Wolverine scooped her up in his arms.
Amaterasu stared and howled silently. She and Wolverine quietly walked back to the living room and placed her by the fireplace.
Morrigan had a worried look on her face and Iron Man just shook his head. Dante broke the silence immediately.
Dante: CAN WE GO NOW!
Wolverine gnashed his teeth and glared at Dante. His shot his middle claw at Dante.
Dante was offended. Again.
Dante: Whatever. Jesus christ, everyone is sooo emotional. Let's go guys.
Dante whirled around and opened the door, only to be met by CAPCOM employee ninjas who held dual katanas.
Dante raised one eyebrow.
Dante: 'The hell do you guys want?
The ninjas eyed Dante. They pointed at the clock. Dante looked aswell and looked back at them.
Dante: So?
One ninja maliciously pointed at Dante. His eyes were boiling red and veins popped out of his forehead. He finally spoke. In a most...foreign..accent at that, with very delayed pauses.
?: My...name..IS AGEV.
Dante: I could care less. Get out of the way or-
As soon as Dante said this, red liquid leaked from above the door. It spread on the welcome mat and the ninja soaked his katana in the bloody pool.
Agev: This blood...is beautiful...IS IT NOT!
Dante's eyes went from wide to wider. He gasped in shock as a body abruptly fell from the roof onto the welcome mat, lying there coldly in the pool of blood. The body was limp, salty...old. Dante had seen this before. In one of the most terrifying movies he had ever seen. Deader Rising.
The ninja laughed and poked the body. He rolled it over sadistically so Dante could see the face. The body was none other than Gen's, from the resteraunt.
Dante's eyes went from surprised to stern. His anger rising. He spoke in a serious manner, very unlike Dante.
Dante: What do you want Agev?
Morrigan stood behind Dante and eyed the ninjas. Iron Man stood by as well, intent on blasting the ninjas to oblivion if called for.
Agev: You do not go out. Ono's orders. Failure to comply...will result in death. Do you understand?
Dante: Ono wouldn't kill us! We're apart of the game!
Agev: Ono has many other candidates willing to take your place. You won't be missed if your demise is met.
Dante: That's insane.
Agev: Insane is Ono.
Iron Man: How about you guys leave before things get ugly? You murdered Gen to teach us a lesson? You ninjas are below demihumans.
Agev: Say what you will Tony. Remember, War Machine is next if you keep insulting us.
Iron Man immediately pushed through Dante and stood over Agev. The anger inside Tony Stark was about to be unleashed. He clenched his iron fist and was seconds away from knocking Agev's head off until Dante stopped him.
Dante: Tony...no.
Morrigan: Dante's right. This won't solve anything.
Iron Man hated it, but he knew they were right. His arm dropped by his side and he sighed.
The ninjas chuckled.
Agev: Wise decision, Tony. Very wise. But, we must be off. Ono is calling.
Iron Man wasn't finished. He snuck in one cold remark to have the last laugh.
Iron Man: How does it feel being Ono's little butt bitch? You give it up oh so easily to him.
Agev didn't turn around. Instead he just laughed and shrugged it off. He waved his katana.
Agev: Clean...that little mess up.
Obviously he was referring to Gen and after that last word, the ninjas stormed off, jumpimg from streetlight to streetlight.
Dante watched as they left, pondering Ono's exact motives. Iron Man walked past him, and sat on the couch.
Chun-Li sat on a stool in the kitchen with her legs crossed. She looked at Iron Man with a sympathetic look on her face.
Chun: Tony...
Iron Man immediately responded.
Iron Man: I'm fine.
Soon after, Ryu finally awoke from his sleep and stretched as he sat up. He scratched his head and rubbed his eyes.
Ryu: Ohhhhh my shinku...I feel good!
Deadpool: You only slept for 25 minutes...
Ryu: That's all I need! Ahh! I feel like sparring!
Trish: It's a little past midnight..Ryu.
Ryu's mouth dropped. He looked at the clock.
Ryu: It's 1:27 P.M. how is it a little past midnight?
Trish: Look outside Ryu. It's 1:27 A.M. not P.M.
Ryu looked outside and frowned.
Ryu: What's your point?
Everyone in the room facepalmed. Deadpool giggled and walked down the hallway to his room. Trish did the same.
Ryu walked into the kitchen to drink some orange juice. As he did so, he looked at Chun-Li, who was eying him intently.
Ryu: What is it?
Chun: Nothing.
Ryu shrugged and got a glass from the cabinet. Chun-Li just sat there and watched him. She hadn't felt like this before. She eyed Ryu's ass as we moved around. He juggled glasses with his fingers and did a variety of kicks and punches, avoiding the plates and kitchenware.
Chun-Li's hormones were running wild. She wanted Ryu. And she wanted him bad. Too bad he was so clueless. She would even take Dante. Or even Iron Man. Or maybe even Morrigan at this point.
Dante finally came in from moving Gen and closed the door.
Morrigan: What did you do with him?
Dante: I did what anyone else would do!
Morrigan raised an eyebrow.
Dante: I put him on someone else's doorstep!
As Dante said this, a scream could be heard from next door.
Dante slyly smiled and looked over at Iron Man.
Dante: We'll get them back. Don't worry about it.
Iron Man: Yeah. But that ninja...I know him from somewhere...
Chun-Li piped up.
Chun: Me too. It was that blonde ponytail...I recognize it from somewhere...
Iron Man: Yeah...and that accent..
Morrigan: Perhaps an old acquaintance?
Chun: Yeah. We'll figure it out soon.
Dante: Yep. Some crazy shit went down tonight. I think we all need some rest.
Morrigan: Couldn't agree more.
Ryu guzzled down his juice and slammed his glass on the table.
Ryu: I'm fine! I'm going to watch whatever is on that rectangular box over there!
Dante: It's called a TV...
Ryu: What's your point?
They facepalmed again. Deadpool even came out of his room to laugh at Ryu's stupidity.
The roommates went into their respective rooms to get a good night's rest. They all needed it. But Chun-Li didn't go. Instead, she sat on the couch near Ryu and watched TV with him.
Ryu was laughing hysterically at a certain TV show called God's Hand, where martial arts were taken to ridiculously over-the-top levels. Chun-Li just looked at Ryu and wanted to smack him sometimes. But..his laugh was soothing to her at the moment. She liked it. The two sat there watching the show for almost the whole night.
