27. SpideyPool
She didn't know what to do, what to say, when the results of the blood test came back. You always say, that won't happen to me. Beca said it too, but it did happen. Cancer in her lungs, already in stage four. There was nothing to do about it, no treatment that would actually work, so Beca spent as much time with her girlfriend as she could because she didn't know how long she still had. Then she met this man, he said he could help her with a special treatment, it would not only cure her but also make her into some kind of superhuman. Her girlfriend didn't want her to do it but Beca was desperate, she had nothing to lose so she packed her shit and left.
Now she tries to keep positive, which is like impossible since she was never a positive person. She won't let this doctor break her, all the torture he puts her through, it didn't work on her and it didn't help that he absolutely despises Beca. So after another witty remark got shot at him, he had enough and he put her in this tube that sucked all the oxygen out and left just enough for Beca to survive. It wasn't a pleasant 35 hours but it did trigger something in the brunettes body, the cancer was gone after. Not only that but also more muscle, it was amazing how Beca's muscles had grown over the course of 35 hours. So when she got taken out of the tube she tried to hit everything she could, and she succeeded. Because of her the whole building caught fire and because of her a lot of people burned alive, Beca got in a fight with the doctor that she lost when he put a metal pipe through her chest and into the ground. He bended the end so she couldn't get it out and left her to die.
The fire attracted the famous Spidergirl, who wants to save everyone, of course. The redhead under the mask launches herself in the building and goes searching for survivors when she sees Beca. Her body hangs limp on the metal pipe, Spidey gets closer. She screams when Beca lifts her head, she softly whispers one word "help" and she looks at Spidey "oh look, I met a celebrity. Can I have a picture before you leave".
"what, wait, how are you even alive? No stop, not important right now. I need to get you out of here" the spider starts pulling the pipe, it moves a bit so she keeps pulling "come on you stupid thing" then it shoots out of the floor and Spidey flies back with it, pulling it out of Beca's chest. Beca falls on the floor, 10 seconds later she's standing again and running out of the building. She's not fast enough for Spidey to lose her
"hey stop, who ar-"
But Beca cuts her off "listen man I've had a rough couple of days and I want to do nothing more than find the man responsible for those days, make sure he will not experience another day and then go to my bed and sleep. So you are in the way of me and my goal for today, so either you get out of my way voluntarily or by force, now choose" Beca's voice is low, she's really angry.
"no" Spidergirl doesn't move even though she's kinda scared. "let me help you home, you can get some rest and calm down"
At the mention of a home the brunette's face goes sad for just a sec, then turns annoyed "I appreciate it but I don't have a home" and Chloe knows she shouldn't do this but she can't help but trust the woman in front of her
"you can crash at mine"
This has a different effect than what she thought it'd have as Beca's face is angry again "stop being the hero, people might think you're amazing but I don't. I was one of the 50 that were locked in this building, tortured every. Day. Where were you?! All you do is scratch the surface and receive prays. I don't need you pity so leave me the fuck alone" and with that she jumps out a window from the fifth floor, when Chloe recovers from all the harsh words thrown at her she runs to the window, Beca is long gone.
Chloe doesn't see her for another week, it's different this time. She's not suited up and they are both at art school, Chloe finds herself staring at the girl more than once and every time the brunette makes eye contact she looks away awkward, only to look again seconds later. The redhead is in art school to learn more about photography but from what's she's seen, Beca is more into drawing than anything else. After classes are over Chloe decides to follow the smaller girl, to make sure she's okay, that's what she tells herself. Beca walks for about an hour and then takes the train to one of the outer neighbourhoods of New York, there she keeps walking until she reaches a small house. She goes inside and Chloe can hear her talking to someone, so she does have a home. The door opens again and Beca comes out "you can come in, I mean, after all this trouble of following me you're probably hungry" Chloe steps out of hiding and walks up to the smaller girl,
"hi! I'm Chloe"
Beca chuckles, it's sounds bitter "I know who you are" she spits out, and then much more nice "I welcome you into this humble house, Spidergirl. I think you and I can be friends" the redhead is shocked to hear someone discovered her secret so fast, but she does go in, hoping the nice brunette would be there and not the angry one she met before.
"so whose house is this? Not to be rude or anything but you said you had no home so where are we, come to think of it I don't even know your name"
Beca chuckles and opens the fridge to grab some food for the both of them "well, my name is Beca. No offense taken, I don't know who's house this is, it was empty so I moved in, not like I have stuff to take with me wherever I go. Need to find a job though, can't even afford to get myself a new pencil after the last one broke, let alone a sketchbook, those cost a fortune and I left all the ones I had I left with my ex and she doesn't even know I'm alive so there's no way of getting those back although I guess I could break in, that might work. But then I would have to take those things with me everywhere, if only we had lockers at school then I could just keep it there but we don't so…no, I'm not gonna ask the spider to help me, I have too much pride for that, but I would love to see her place though" only this was all so mumbled that it was barely audible and Chloe only caught bits of it
"what was that"
"oh, I don't know, the place was empty"
"I'm sure that was not all you said" Chloe looks down at the sandwich Beca puts in front of her, despite the lack of money for good food, this sandwich looks pretty good "thanks" Beca sits down in front of her, similar sandwich in one hand, broken pencil in the other.
"so why are you the hero" she takes a bite and puts her pencil down on the wooden table "what inspires you to do good in a world as dark as can be"
Chloe looks at her, Beca doesn't look back at her, her eyes are focused on her sandwich "my uncle was killed a few years back and he died because of something I did, right before he died he told me that with my powers comes responsibility and I wanted to make him proud"
"that's deep man, wish I had something to make me do good but I guess I'm just a bad person"
"nobody's truly bad, we can be a team if you want, oeeeeeh we're gonna be best friends, just wait"
"why would you wanna team up with someone like me" Beca still hasn't lifter her eyes off her bread, Chloe decided to not take offence in it.
"what's someone like you like?"
"fucked up, broken, broke"
"I think you need a friend, I think you just need to accept a little help" the food is finished and Chloe puts her hand on Beca's, causing her to look up, her other hand is still scribbling "let me help you get back on your feet, that's it, no catch"
Reluctant to take the offer, Beca looks around in the room they're staying and knows she should take up on the offer so she nods and Chloe squeals. Not much later they leave, Beca is the first outside and Chloe can't help but look at the table. Where Beca was scribbling is a drawing of her face, a beautiful black and grey portrait and she wasn't even looking at it!? This is gonna be interesting Chloe can't help but think as she follows Beca outside.
Together they go all the way back to the city and they end up in a good neighbourhood, Chloe spend all that time talking about how she grew up, what her family is like. Turns out she's an orphan, like Beca, but Chloe had her Aunt and Uncle to take care of her and Beca just went from foster family to foster family. Chloe's Aunt is rich, and she bought her a big studio near the university they both study at. Of course she has a spare room where Beca can stay, why wouldn't she… fucking rich kids. Maybe she didn't show it enough, but Beca was grateful, when Chloe ordered pizza for them, when Chloe gave her a sweats and a big shirt to sleep in and when she was told to use the shower and make herself at home. The one thing she wasn't grateful of, was when the redhead burst in her fucking shower, because she was singing!? It's not that Beca has anything to be ashamed of, if ya know what I mean. But her time at the cancer treatment left some marks, some serious marks. After all, she did get stuck in a burning building. And that was after the weeks of pure torture. So she screamed for Chloe to get out, but the poor girl was too shocked to move. It was so much worse than she expected it to be and at that very moment she couldn't even move, her brain had just stopped working. And in the meanwhile Beca tried to snap her out of it but nothing worked, she waved her hand in front of Chloe's eyes, she poked the redhead, nothing worked. Beca knows Chloe heals fast, but Chloe doesn't know that Beca is not completely human and has super strength. But the small brunette doesn't think Chloe will hate her if she does it for her own good, so slaps the redhead. And the sound rings through the bathroom, Chloe is snapped (slapped) back to reality, the force caused her to stumble into the wall. She still looks shocked but for a different reason now, her hand goes to her cheek and she doesn't seem to believe what just happened.
Beca takes a deep breath, happy that the staring is over "I'm sorry Chloe, I just didn't see any other way, I couldn't handle your eyes on me any longer"
Chloe is still a bit dazzled "wait how- what" she takes another look at her surroundings, including Beca, and turns to leave, mumbling half to Beca, half to herself "shower, we're in the shower, naked, I should leave, I'm gonna go now" and she walks back to the living room.
After finishing her shower and getting dressed, Beca goes to find Chloe, in the kitchen.
"hi, are you alright?" she asks as she goes to sit down next the girl
Who looks up and shakes her head "I mean, fysically yes but I have so many questions"
"of course, let's start this over again" Beca offer Chloe her hand "hi! I'm Beca Mitchell, better known as Deadpool. I'm an antihero, seeking one thing only, revenge" Chloe opens her mouth to say something but Beca shushes her "about 6 months ago I found out that I had cancer, and I was way too far gone to even try to cure it. I was already giving up when this man came to me, he offered me a cure, but more than that, he said I'd get powers. Like yours I guess. But their methods were, let's say, a little old fashioned. Nothing seemed to work with me and the only fun I got was to get the doctor to be pissed off, it wasn't like I had anything to lose, but I did. He put me in some kind of machine that made sure I got enough oxygen to survive but barely, it did its job. I got out and I was not only cancer free but also strong, like unhuman strong. I raised all hell and the building caught fire, I didn't die that day because my body is able to regenerate, scars stay but I can't actually die. Does that answer your questions?"
Chloe slowly nods, taking in all the information that just got thrown at her. She feels sorry for the short brunette, in her mind nobody should go through things like that. Beca's words from last week go through her head again, All you do is scratch the surface and receive prays. She realises Beca is right and her face lights up, leaving Beca confused
"oh my god!" she squeals "we should so team up, you can help me go deeper and really get rid of all the criminal activity" then she sees that she might be going too fast and she's forgetting something "oh! And I'm sorry you had to go through that, just know that I'm your friend now and you're not alone, as for the revenge part and the Deadpool part. Do you have to kill people?"
"yes, it's what I do, I'm good at it, but if it makes you feel any better, I'll only kill bad guys from now on"
"so that means you're saying yes"
"to what exactly?"
Chloe's eyes are filled with hope and excitement and Beca knows she won't be able to say no to those eyes.
"you and me kicking ass"
"we have to talk about this" Beca is trying to stall the inevitable
"not really"
"it's complicated"
"it's really not, whatever problems we find, we'll work out as we go" Chloe has confidence
"alright"
"wait really?!"
"don't make me regret this" Beca smiles at Chloe, who is literary jumping up and down, cheering because she's so happy. It's adorable really.
