No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor) - Part 2
Chapter 24: MILLION DOLLAR BABY (Part 4)
…
Wow. Okay, so Ezekiel said…
…
"I'm not sure how to tell you what's happening, but… I'm going to try… and my Surveillant Council needs to be involved when I tell you."
…
…
…
UHM, why? Why the FUCK did the Stalker fuckingCouncil have to fucking be involved. Wade Wilson didn't understand what the fucking problem was, so he lied through his fucking teeth and told Ezekiel that was … fine.
Oh, no no no nooooo. It was so beyond being fucking fine and fucking dandy, so the merc had to get up and leave the room. He couldn't fucking breathe any longer, so he told his precious little coyote that he would be out on the fucking balcony.
Wade didn't say it all crazy like that, but he really couldn't breathe. It felt like he had his mask shoved down his throat or something.
Maybe he couldn't fucking breathe because he wanted to fucking scream, but he didn't. Wade just took that silent hit, he left, and he started jumping rope outside.
Side note: Japan is loud, like the Bronx, and Wade packed a jump rope for exercise.
He needed to jump some rope until his heart collapsed, so that's what he did. He fucking jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped…
As he was leaving the room, Ezekiel quickly told him that he planned to wait until the next "meeting" before he said anything. He kept talking all fast, and he actually asked Wade to "let it go" and "forget about it" until then, and he looked…
The baby Jackal looked kinda devastated, and Wade couldn't get over the look that he had on his face. Ezekiel was practically pleading for him to forget that it happened. It looked like he was about to cry, and…
…
Hmmmm…
…
Wade just jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped, until he received an alert.
His armor alerted him out of his daze, and Sevgili explained that he had a phone call from a man with a code name called Weasel. You see, the mercenary asked Weasel to do some digging around for him, and now it was time to hopefully collect.
SO, Wade glanced behind him for a sec, then he inwardly told Sevgili to answer the call from Weasel. He kept jumping rope as the call went through, and he also kept a blank expression as his friend's voice chimed in…
…
"Hey, Wade… you must be planning your own funeral with this one."
…
"You got the goods?"
…
The "goods" was some fucking information. Wade asked for it after the last bullshit meeting. He did it discreetly when nobody was looking, because his fucking Google search wasn't working for shit…
…
"This guy? Ok, think of it like Skeletor having a baby with the fucking Juggernaut, dude. That's who you're dealing with. He's crazy smart, super psychic, AND he's a master martial artist beneath all his tricked out armor. Wade, he's skilled in all kinds of combat techniques, both armed and unarmed…"
…
Hmm. Wade Wilson kept jumping his rope as Weasel kept talking. So Doctor Fuck-Face had some combat skills hiding beneath his chrome-dome armor. The mercenary was glad to hear that, actually, because the man did have a bit of a death wish…
…
"His combat skills are so great that he's killed a friggen lion with his bare hands. He's pure hand to hand beneath the surface, Wade. Well-built, fast, agile, but he's also mastered a bunch of spooky dark magic too. This guy has even stolen omnipotent abilities from something called the Beyonders? I don't know what that is, but I wouldn't fuck with it…"
…
Hmmmmmmm…..
…
Wade kept on listening to Weasel as the man gave him some juicy details about Ezekiel's fucking science teacher. The merc could tell that Doom was involved with what happened while they were in bed all hot and bothered. He had to be, and that's why Ezekiel was so upset.
…
"He's a master swordsman too. He can heal himself, and he's got enhanced strength and durability. You know what?.. Now that I think about it, he's a lot like you Wade, but this guy paints really well though. He's filthy rich, he's super smart, he runs his own country, and he even plays the friggen piano dude. I'm low-key becoming attracted to this guy, I mean, have you seen him without his mask on?…"
…
Wade's blank stare became even more bitter and blank after he heard that random shit. The last bit of shit Weasel mentioned was kinda the straw that finally broke the camel's fucking back. Wade didn't like hearing about how sophisticated and wonderful "DOCTOR" DICK-TIP was.
He also didn't like the comparison/diss, so the mercenary silently rolled his eyes at the thought. Has he seen him without his mask on? GET THE FUCK OUT.
…
"HEY, I CAN DRAW, and how old is this fucker? Did you know that he's not a real doctor?"
…
"He calls himself a Doctor out of spite, because he considers himself to be a self-educated man. Uhhh, and let's see… he was kicked out of his university before he received his Doctorate, and he is currently thirty eight years old. Soooo, he's ten years older than you. I'll send you a pic of his face without his mask on… and … oh look… you both even have the same hair color…it's brown. Brown Wade, just like yours…"
…
UHM… OK? So, his hair was brown, like millions of others. Why the fuck did that matter? Wade glanced behind him once again as he pondered what Weasel was randomly telling him. The guy just babbled on and on for an eternity, so the mercenary almost hung up on him.
WHO CARES WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE? Wade didn't plan to look at that fucker's dumb fucking face either, because he really didn't like the sudden comparison.
Weasel just started continuously comparing him to that fucking jerk, for what? What in the actual fuck was happening? Suddenly Wade couldn't breathe again, so he finally stopped jumping over the rope.
He friggen hung up on Weasel's bullshit phone call, then he started inwardly processing the information. I mean, what just happened? A jealous streak suddenly took over the moment, cuz Wade began to wonder if Ezekiel had ever seen his face before.
Did he know what the guy looked like? Beneath his mask? Was… he…
…
Oh no no no noooo. Wade absolutely refused to entertain those intrusive thoughts. His mind began to swamp with some heavy self-doubt, so he picked up his jump rope and he started jumping once again.
He planned to be there for a while, cuz the thoughts in his mind wouldn't cease…
