No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor)
Chapter 35: Head in the Clouds (Part 5)
…
Well shiver me timbers, looks like Ezekiel Stane's baby S.H.A.D.O.W. team was gathering up outside one of the fancy rooms.
Wade Wilson was watching them as they got all huddled up. He forgot all their names, and he didn't plan on learning them either. His focus was solely on protecting Ezekiel, AKA "Rae-Ann", supporting him/her, and making sure he/she wasn't fucked with by anyone.
Outside that, his other focus was centered on seducing Ezekiel Stane, and telling Charles Xavier and the Surveillant Council to get fucked…
….
Anywhooooo… Wade noticed that someone from the baby S.H.A.D.O.W. squad kept looking over in his direction. It was a scrappy young blonde woman. Uhh, what was her name? Wade only remembered that she was the sister to the other one, the one with the spider Gundam.
Gundam Wing? Ever heard of it? Well, Ezekiel made mobile suits that looked like Gundams for everyone. Wade recalled the detail for a sec. Huzzzuhhhh….
Ezekiel was in an office with Charles Xavier, so Wade was super bored. The mercenary missed the quiet coyote tremendously, and waiting around for him friggen sucked. PLUS, the mutant freak shrink was probably telling him a bunch of judgy shit, but whatever.
…
"So you are the one they call, Deadpool?"
…
Wade shrieked pretty loudly, cuz who the EFF ran over his precious train of thought? Someone with a lot of nerve decided to speak to him, and that was very unexpected.
He glanced down at that scrappy little blonde woman. She was right there for some reason, and her name escaped Wade once again. UGH he cringed. Grossssss… the baby S.H.A.D.O.W. squad migrated over toward him. He didn't wanna know them or mingle around with any of them.
…
"Autographs usually go through my agent…"
…
The young woman looked a little more than confused when he answered, but Wade ignored her and he looked over at the door toward his left. Ezekiel was in there talking to his shrink, and the mercenary was beginning to get antsy.
The super troopers showing up didn't help, and the little blonde said something else. She said she didn't want his autograph, and she let him know that everyone said he was insane.
She had an accent. Russian? Bruhildian? Mas-Ku-Lan? Lol Wade chuckled a little bit after she responded, then he started looking at the short blonde boy that was standing beside her and toward his right. Hawkeye? Correct? Wade remembered his cute little face, and his interesting behavior during the blood bath in Milwaukee.
It looked like he wanted to murder Ezekiel in that warehouse, and then some. That young man definitely wanted to slam a knife or two deep into Ezekiel's chest.
The red-headed spider chick said something next, but Wade didn't respond. She was clearly acting weird, but the mercenary didn't care to know anything about it.
His eyes migrated over toward the grand finale. He looked at the person who was kinda glaring at him, and he had a metal arm that reminded him of a mutant named Colossus.
The true "Winter Soldier" was there in the flesh, but Wade didn't say jack shit to any of them. He decided to wait it out and let Ezekiel do all the talking.
His plan was to get a read on all of those "teammates" and decide for himself if they were worthy enough to breathe the same air as Ezekiel Stane. That "silver dollar" was more precious than gold.
They didn't even know the half of it, so Deadpool wanted to see if they even measured up….
