Missy strutted quickly down the sidewalk as fast her feet could carry her, in painfully high heeled shoes.

She had been at work when a text had appeared on her phone from Wade.

Emergency come quick… - the message had read, with an attached map link to his location.

She hadn't seen him since he had fallen asleep next to her last night and obviously she worried that he had got himself into real trouble- yet again!

As soon as she had received the message she had left work, got a cab across town and now found herself down at the pier.

It was a sunny day and she was far too hot to be walking at such a pace wearing a raincoat over her blouse.

Reaching into her handbag she tugged out her phone and quickly dialled Wade's number.

Stepping onto the boardwalk, she dodged out of the way as two kids of skateboards flew past her.

"Come on, Wade," she murmured to herself. "Where the fuck are you?"

Strutting down the pier, she came to stop near a couple of stands.

She pressed her hand to her other ear in an attempt to block out some inane pop song a teenager on a bench was playing loudly from his phone.

'Its bananas -B-A-N-A-N-A-S…'

Missy gave a frown as she moved away from the stand, the dial tone still ringing out.

'It's bananas…-B-A-N-A-N-A-S…'

She irritably turned back to the bench to throw the kid a dirty look.

But instead froze, gaping.

There, sat on the bench in full red and black spandex was Wade, fruitlessly sunning himself in the heat. His phone lay next to him, blaring out the music.

Missy narrowed her eyes and finished the call, storming over to him.

He glanced up at her as her shadow fell across his masked face.

"Hey babe, there you are! Looking as smokin' hot as ever…" he said a playful voice.

Missy scowled staring around. "Where the fuck is the emergency, Wade?" she said loudly, causing an elderly couple that were passing to shake their heads at her.

Wade looked up at her innocently, suddenly lifting a large cone stacked with three different types of ice cream and covered in hot fudge and sprinkles.

"Your ice cream was staring to melt," he said with a shrug.

Missy shot him an incredulous look, shifting her weight from foot to foot.

"You cannot be serious?" she said in an angry tone, shaking her head. "I bailed on work AND I had to take a cab all the way across town to get here, Wade!"

He held the ice cream up to her face.

"I got your favourite toppings," he said in a worried voice.

Missy frowned darkly and slapped him hard on the arm, before slumping down into the seat beside him, defeated.

She quickly removed her coat, breathing a sigh of relief as she felt the warm sun against her now, thin layer of clothing.

"Well, if I'm here, I suppose I should make the most of it," she said with a sigh, snatching the ice cream from his grasp.

Wade grinned behind his mask and turned in his seat to watch her.

It had been ages since she had been able to get away and do something like this, to relax and feel the hot sun on her skin.

She glanced at the masked merc and shot him a small smile.

"What's all this about, Wade?" she asked, taking a lick of her cone. "We could have done this on Saturday."

Wade gazed over at her. "I just thought you seemed like you could do with a day off playing hooky," he said in a cheery voice.

Missy couldn't help but nod. She had been super busy with meetings and stationary orders and the Skrull invasion…

"I have a whole bunch of quarters in my pocket...and after you finish that…" continued Wade, nodding towards the ice-cream in Missy's hand. "I'm going to win you a giant teddy bear from one of those claw machines in that arcade over there."

Missy laughed.

"I'd probably rather a Chanel handbag," she said, nudging him with her shoulder. "But a giant teddy bear would be good too."

She shot him a happy smile and reached for his gloved hand, intertwining her fingers with his.

Usually public displays of affection such as these would normally only come from Wade, so it wasn't surprising that he let out a wide grin behind his mask.

"Fuck one, I'm winning you two teddy bears," he said cockily. "And I might even treat you to a hot dog later."

Missy took another lick of her ice cream and raised her eyebrows. "Wow, you are such a catch, Wade Wilson," she uttered.

"As if I didn't know that," he said, swiping at the ice cream with his gloves finger, before lifting up his mask slightly and sucking the dessert from his digit.

Missy rolled her eyes.

Suddenly her attention was caught by a small group of figures strutting down the boardwalk towards them.

Missy's eyes widened and she stood quickly dropping her ice cream in fright.

For walking towards them, was Tony Stark, Pepper Potts and about three other men in smart suits that Missy didn't recognise.

"What the-" began Wade, before his eyes suddenly locked onto the group. "Oh hey Stark, over he-"

But Missy gave a squeal, grabbing her coat and tugging Wade out of his seat, dragging him quickly around the back of a frozen banana stand and out of sight. She pressed a finger to his masked mouth.

"And over there is where we hope to start work on our off-shore nuclear plant about 25miles out," she heard Tony Stark say loudly as his group walked swiftly by. "We'll have a small base here on the wharf which might have a few interactive features for the kids, y'know."

Missy peered carefully around the corner. She could see Pepper, her boss, tapping away at her tablet.

"We've got to get out of here," said Missy with an urgent whisper turning back to Wade. "I don't want them to see me playing hooky!"

Wade grinned easily.

"What's the worst they can do? Fucking fire you?" he asked with a shrug.

Missy shot him a look.

"Yes, Wade!" she said in a hushed voice. "Unlike you, my skills are not transferrable enough to become a freakin' mercenary."

"I've seen your aim at that balloon and dart game at the carnival," he said a serious voice. "You've got the skills. Now all we need to do is squeeze your as into skin-tight spandex like mine and we'll be good."

Missy shook her head, trying to get a good look at the group once again. "And what happens when I get shot through the heart and can't regenerate my cells like you can? Who are you going to annoy then?" she said in an exasperated voice. "Ok, I think the coast is clear."

And with that she pulled Wade out of the shadows and back onto the main pathway along the boardwalk-just as Tony, Pepper and the others changed course and began to point in their direction.

"I think Rob, mentioned that piece of real estate going up for auction next month," said Pepper pointing to a tall building just off to their right.

It wasn't so much Missy that would draw their eye, it was Wade, still dressed in full Deadpool suit. She needed to get out of their line of sight and fast.

"Quick in here!" said Missy, dragging Wade into a tiny photo booth just outside the games arcade.

They both piled in, hands everywhere, Missy sprawling on the tiny stool in the centre of the booth, as Wade plonked himself down on top of her lap, pulling the curtain quickly across.

"Wade, get the fuck off me," she said trying to prise herself out from beneath his weight.

"Oooh Santa," said Wade in a child-like voice, bouncing on her lap. "Can I have a new ammo belt, a care bears pyjama set, a limited edition shiny Charizard Pokemon card, a set of roller skates and a pepperoni pizza."

Missy rolled her eyes, before finally manging to squeeze out from beneath him. She shifted around him, grumbling before finally coming to sit on his lap instead. Wade placed his arms around her tightly and gave a happy sigh.

Missy gave a frown, glancing down at something hard that was pressing into her thigh.

"Wade…..That better be that roll of quarters in your pocket," she said in a low voice.

He grinned behind his mask and leaned in towards her ear.

"Or maybe I'm just pleased to see you…" he whispered, as Missy shot him a look and shook her head.

Suddenly a loud song filled the entire photo booth.

'Its bananas- B-A-N-A-N-A-S…'

Holding her steady, Wade shifted his hand down into his pocket, finally tugging out his phone.

He peered at the screen before lifting it to his ear.

"Wade Wilson, wanton sex-goddess with a very bad girl on his thighs…" he said in a smooth tone.

Suddenly, before either of them could say another word, the booth curtain was snatched open and there, with his phone pressed to his ear, stood Tony Stark.

"If it isn't Wade Wilson," said Tony with a smile, ending his call to the masked merc and placing his phone back into his jacket pocket. "And- sorry I'm terrible with names…"

He looked expectably at Missy, who blushed profusely. "Melissa," she murmured.

"Melissa," said Tony with a nod. "Well you both might want this."

And with that, he held out a little black and white strip of photos that had all showed Wade and Missy in the most uncomfortable looking positions imaginable. One was even just of Missy's ass, obviously taken as they had both been squeezing themselves inside.

"Yoink," said Wade as he plucked the photos from Tony's hand and smiled down at them behind his mask. "Awww, babe, these aren't half bad."

Missy merely reddened further, just as Tony pointed down at her. "Hey don't you work for me….I mean, Pepper….down on the 11th floor?" he said narrowing his eyes.

Missy gave a gulp. "Yeah…I, er…"

Suddenly Pepper, obviously at the sound of her name, appeared at Tony's side peering over at Missy and Wade.

"Hi…Missy…. what are you-….." she said looking confused. "Aren't you supposed to be in work?"

Missy's mouth went dry as she gazed up at them.

"I was….well….I…." she started but suddenly Wade cut across her.

"All my fault," he said raising his hands earnestly. "I pulled her out of work for an emergency, which just turned out to be me wanting to have her keep me company for the day."

"Wade Wilson," he said in a charming voice, extracting his hand from Missy's waist and holding it out towards Pepper. "I don't think we've met."

Pepper gave a small apprehensive smile and carefully shook his gloved hand. Her eyes flickered back to Missy, her smile warming as she met her gaze. She gave her a knowing look, as if saying 'Don't worry I've been there.'

"Well, Missy, you've been working super hard lately," said the strawberry blonde woman. "I think you deserve the afternoon off."

Tony raised his eyebrows and gave a nod. "You heard the boss," he said with a smile. "Well we should get going. Business to run, world to save….Now, kids, don't do anything in there that I wouldn't do."

And with that he pulled the curtain closed across them once more.

"Which doesn't leave much," Tony shouted back to them as an afterthought, as they heard him and Pepper walking slowly away.

After a few long seconds, Missy breathed a long sigh of relief.

She turned to Wade and bit her lip, letting out a happy smile.

"Well, get you," she said poking him in the chest with her finger. "Finally turning into my knight in shining armour."

Wade pulled her body closer to him, his fingers dancing their way under the hem of her blouse.

"So does you knight in shining armour get to win you a giant teddy bear and buy you hot dog this afternoon," he said grinning.

Missy tugged at her lip with her teeth before pulling up his mask a little, revealing his mouth.

"Only you promise that we can spend the next ten minutes making out in here," she asked with a purr.

Wade beamed and gripped her waist hard.

"Fuck me, you're perfect," he said wolfishly, pressing his lips to hers.

Thanks for reading and thanks to dancindonna and Onitsu Blackfeather for reviewing that last chapter.

If anyone is still interested I'd be really pleased if you could leave me a review. Thanks :)
