So I've already got a few chapters for this written already so frequent updates for a little while. I have a good idea of where I'm heading with this, so it shouldn't have massive gaps between updates anyway.

She stood slowly after she had finished retching on the ground, her body shaking from the strain of vomiting, exhaustion from the fight, and the horror of what she had witnessed. "Who are ya?" She asked, holding her head high. Sure the guy had just watched her throw-up for the past five minutes but that didn't mean she was going to show him that she was scared of him.

"Ohh, uhh, well I'm Deadpool, it's good to see you're okay enough to talk. I thought for a minute there that you were broken what with them punching you in the stomach and you vomiting for ages. I don't deal with broken people and it would have been a shame to kill you after saving you, but don't worry, I would have, to put you out of your suffering."

Rogue stared at him in shock, fear creeping through her veins at how casually he had spoken about killing her.

"Well Ah don't know who ya think ya are, but ya can't just go round killin' people because they get a lil sick. Anyone would afta seein' you massacre people like that!" Her voice rising in pitch as she spoke, panic taking hold.

"It wasn't just a little sick!" He shouted back "you were puking everywhere! And what do you mean massacre? I only killed five of them. Hardly a massacre. Besides you needed saving, although you did take out four yourself, impressive given the beating you just took. Don't you think you should be showing a little gratitude right now."

"Raght now, Ah think Ah need to be gettin' outta here. These four maght wake up and Ah'm too tired too be faghtin' anymore t'naght. Plus Ah'm not inta hangin' around with killers" she replied, turning her back and beginning to walk away, part of her hoping he left her alone, not killing her for her attitude, and part hoping that he would follow so she could get some answers.

She had reached the road that led to the mansion by the time he caught up with her.

"So why were those guys attackin' me? D'ya know? And why did ya save me? Or did ya? Ah don't need ta worry about ya tryin' ta kidnap me now do Ah?" Rogue asked. She knew she should be more wary but the way he had been chatting didn't make him seem all that dangerous. Then again, she thought, she couldn't forget the sight of him stood over the bodies, his swords gleaming red in the moonlight.

"Nahh, I don't want to kidnap you, what would I do with you? I'm no good at looking after pets" At this Rogue looked up at him confused, but he carried on, "And I saved you because you deserve to be saved. You put up a decent fight against those goons, figured with some proper training you could become like a mini-Deadpool. Deadpool Junior! Course you'd have to actually kill people rather than just knocking them out, otherwise they can come after you again. I dealt with the guys you so lazily left behind, no need to thank me though, I know you're tired from the beating you took."

Rogue spluttered "Wha'? No! Why? Ah didn't…" He cut through her words and carried on as if she had never interrupted "And they were the employees of a man called Mr. Sinister. Bit of a stupid name if you ask me, but no one ever does…"

"But why would he-"

"…lord knows they should try more often though, I'm right about so many other things…"

"Could ya-"

"…anyway they weren't his main henchmen, they're pretty strong mutants, these guys were just his human lackeys-"

"STOP!" Rogue near screamed, causing Deadpool to jerk to a halt and stare at her in what she guessed was shock, although it was hard to tell with the mask. She continued on in a forced calm voice "Just stop talkin' for a minute will ya? Ah'm tryin' ta catch up with everythin' ya've just told me and ya just keep yackin' on."

For once Deadpool actually shut up when told, slightly stunned and amused by the feisty little southern girl. They had reached the gates of the mansion and the sky was beginning to lighten as dawn slowly broke. They stood in silence for a few moments as Rogue gathered her thoughts, a blush stealing across her usually pale face when she realised that she had shouted at him.

"Umm, Ah didn't mean ta be rude, it's been one hell of a naght and Ah'm tahrd and in shock from watchin' ya kill those guys".

"Right, well, I've walked you home safely, so you best be getting inside. I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention me to anyone. And don't worry about the bodies, consider them taken care of" Deadpool said, then patted her awkwardly on the head (like a pet) before turning and walking away.

"Wait! Just. Umm, well thank ya. For savin' me. An' walkin' me home. Just. Can Ah see ya without the mask for a second? Jus' so Ah can recognise ya if we meet again."

Deadpool paused for a second, grinning to himself under his mask, before turning towards her, waving his hand by his head in a casual salute and then turned and disappeared into the streets of Bayville.

Sooo let me know your thoughts? Good? Bad?

Thanks for reading!
