Latvarian Embassy, New York - 18:33PM

Norman Osborne strode out of the Latvarian Embassy followed by his Avengers and two HAMMER agents carrying a stretcher. Naturally the press had arrived and were anxious to get an opinion on the events that had occurred.

"Mr Osborne," one reporter asked, "Are you going to pay for the damage caused to the city and the Latvarian Embassy."

"HAMMER teams will work to clean up the damage alongside local construction crews. I will personally fund any repair work for damage caused by Deadpool or my Avengers." Osborne stated

"Did your Avengers operate a shoot first policy with Deadpool?" another reporter asked.

"Deadpool was offered multiple chances to surrender but ultimately he chose his own fate." Osborne replied, "That will be enough questions for now but I do hope that you will attend my Avengers Official Announcement Ceremony in Central Park tonight." he added as he followed his team into the first of the waiting Thunder Hawks. As the doors closed he uncovered the body and slammed his armoured fist into Deadpool's face revealing machinery and high tech circuits underneath. "Well player Deadpool." he growled in equal parts admiration and anger.


Avengers Tower, New York - 18:56PM

As the Thunder Hawk docked at Avengers Tower, Osborne took a detour to the main security barracks. EOD had confirmed what the traitorous LMD had told him, that the demolitions charges had been a hoax. What's more Osborne had learnt the location of a SHIELD Warehouse that Deadpool had acquired and had sent HAMMER troops escorted by Antman, Ms. Marvel and Spiderman to take inventory and then burn the place down. Entering the barracks the HAMMER agents stood to attention and saluted.

"You're dismissed," Osborne said casually, "Except you Private Thorne." he added as the Agents left except a dark haired man with deep green eyes at the end of the barracks. "Agent Thorne I know from personal experience that you are loyal and brave and as such I would like to commend you before I forget about it."

"I don't know what I did sir?" Thorne answered.

"You saved my life with no regard of your own although the event will never happen anymore due to the actions that took place today."

"I don't wholly understand." Thorne replied before adding, "Get down." as a Common Remote Operated Weapon System popped up from one of the lockers flooding the barracks with gun-fire. Returning fire with his armour's Repulsors Osborne destroyed the gun his armor untouched by enemy fire. Thorne hadn't been so lucky and had seemed to take the brunt of the bullets as he lay gasping on the floor.

"Medic," Osborne yelled, "Somebody get a Medic in here."


SHIELD Warehouse, New York - 19:03PM

The SHIELD Warehouse clean-up was boring to say the least Karla thought, Inventory was a job below even the HAMMER grunts. Crazy as he was it would be unlikely that Deadpool would return to scavenge more weapons. Reaching a crate with the three agents Karla read the seal and stopped mid breath. "Give me your crowbar." she ordered the agents, "And give me some privacy." she added levering the top of the box off." Reaching inside she pulled out a glowing blue stone and smiled as the rock was reflected in her eyes.

"So that's where you put it Fury." she purred, "Well it's mine again."

In another part of the complex Antman buzzed around helping the HAMMER agents scan the crates. "Alright." he sighed, "Ancient Egyptian Sarcophagus." he stated, "Do not open."

"We have to sir." a HAMMER agent said

"Fine then stay back I'll check it out myself before we fully take the lid off." he ordered as an Agent levered the lid off slightly. Dropping inside O'Grady saw that there was no Sarcophagus inside only a glowing golden mist.

"O'Grady is that you?" Kephi's voice said from the mist

"Scarab is that you?" O'Grady asked

"Yes, I trust your search is going well."

"It's quite boring actually, what do you want?"

"To warn you, I'm sending this message from your future. She has risen once again and is out to destroy the Warriors of the Seven Pointed Star, the only people who can send her back to the Otherworld." Kephi explained, "I gave my past self information to keep the mocking warrior alive as he is one of the Warriors, his premature death would have led to the death of the entire planet."

"So why tell me?" O'Grady asked.

"Because you are one of the warriors as well, the spark of decency who will join forces with the mocking warrior, the wise wanderer, the crystalline soothsayer, the beautiful one, the armoured man and the killer of her mother to force her back into dormancy."

"Wait who is she?" O'Grady asked

"She is the one who will kill us all." Kephi stated, "I can't tell you any more or I risk polluting the time stream." she informed him before warmly adding, "Good Luck."

Crawling out of the crate O'Grady shook his head before stating, "It's empty, leave it to be torched."


Cisten, Under New York - 19:22PM

Deadpool trotted into the cistern and sat down on a computer chair located on a platform in the trendy albeit slightly damp workspace.

"Well done 22, you truly sold the deception." Deadpool said as the LMD came down the stairs and stood by the large screen computer. "Is she coming with the money?" he asked

"Yes 10 Million plus 400,000 for four Avenger kills." 22 replied, "and she's here sir."

"Ahh Lucia Von Bardas, how nice to see you." Deadpool stated as Von Bardas arrived with a suitcase, "Is that my money."

"In a way of speaking," Lucia stated her Cyborg features shifting into iridescent blue skin. "Your employer would like to speak to you before you get the money." she added as the big screen flickered revealing the face of Norman Osborne

"Well done Deadpool, you were worth every penny." Osborne said, "With the destruction you caused the senate couldn't wait to rush through the HAMMER Emergency Powers Act. In addition you tested my Avengers to the breaking point and have shown me how to approve my team. Congratulations the money is yours. Mystique give him his money."

Mystique handed Deadpool the money her reptilian smile chilling as the merc opened the lid and began to count the notes. "There is one thing, your bonus is being rescinded and instead…" he trailed off as HAMMER agents repelled down and surrounded Deadpool, "…your bonus is a stay in a new Negative Zone Prison designed for people just like you. I was going to let you go but the CROW attack in the barracks made me change my mind."

"I'm innocent," Deadpool cried, "I'm being framed." as the HAMMER agents took him away.


Camp Hammond, Connecticut - 19:24PM

"Sorry about that Doctor." Osborne apologized. "Now is the specimen I brought you a candidate for the programme or not?" he asked

"Well, the frame work once regeneration has taken place is adequate, but unfortunately he process none of the special qualities you asked for." Baron von Blitzschlag commented as electricity sparked through his hands.

"Don't worry about them I have a brigade of specimens that I will be acquiring as well as many willing test subjects." Osborne cackled, "Soon Baron I will be free once more." he cackled as the Baron picked up a bone-saw and got to work on the comatose body set in front of him.


Deadpool: - "You're sending me to jail?"

Impurest Cheese: - "Yes but I have made it clear that you will be important in future story lines."

Deadpool: - "I suppose it's better then dying, I really thought you would kill me."

Impurest Cheese: - "Why kill you now when I can give you a more fitting fate later on. Now tell the people about my next project."

Deadpool: - "Well you're doing two fanons before the new Thunderbolts, one about my old buddy Taskmaster and the other about that creepy Hand Lady and Task Force Hammer."

Impurest Cheese: - "That about covers it."

Deadpool: - "So goodnight from me and goodnight from him and the Dark Avengers who will return in Dark Avengers: The Asgard Offensive."

Impurest Cheese: - "Now take him away guys."

Deadpool: - "Wait when do I return?"

Impurest Cheese: - "Hopefully never, with you gone I can finally have a semblance of normality when I write my fanon tales. As always comment and leave suggestions for what you want to see in future stories."

Note: - Deadpool will return in Dark Reign: Escape from Negative Island
