No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor)
Chapter 96: End Game (Part 6)
Well now, would you take a look at that smitten kitten ….
Tony Stark kept an eye on the room as everyone migrated in, but then his eyes sharpened up when the final two players in the game finally made it to the party.
Wade Wilson walked in before Ezekiel Stane, and the mercenary always carried around this protective vibe.
The somber Jackal was only two steps behind his infamous protector, and they all watched Wade escort him into the room. Maybe Deadpool was Ezekiel's tricked out "knight" in shining armor, OH no wait… was he his queen?
In the game of Chess, the queen was the most powerful piece. There was only one of them to utilize, and the "queen" had aaaaalllll the moves. Wade Wilson clearly had all the right moves, and the proof of that was written all over Ezekiel's baby face.
Could he be anymore flustered? Tony saw those rosy cheeks, and he could tell right away that somebody had a good morning.
Ezekiel avoided looking at anyone on his Surveillant Council for a reason, and he quietly sat down beside Victor Strange. The Jackal expected Wade to sit down beside him, but that didn't happen right away.
He had to look over in Wade's direction and almost pull him back toward him, because the mercenary had to give someone a special greeting.
Deadpool put a thick middle finger right in front of Doctor Doom's metal mug, and the mercenary was all smiles beneath his mask. Doom was taking in Ezekiel's appearance before the childish assault took place….
Ezekiel looked disheveled, flustered, and somewhat ravaged. The look was beyond the level of disappointing, but Doom put all of the blame on another. That gloved finger appeared before him after a moment, and that vile gutter rat actually gave Doom an unspoken fuck you.
…
As if he'd be moved by such immature filth. Doctor Doom maintained a neutral expression beneath his metal mask, but the thought of breaking that hand did cross his mind.
Wade kept holding that middle finger right in Vader 2.0's fucking face. Fuck you, dude, cuz nobody's getting away with calling Deadpool an effing gutter rat.
…
"Your days are numbered GARGAMEL, so kindly fuck the fuck right on out…"
…
WADEEEeeee. Oh my friggen… Ezekiel wanted to pass out right there in the room. He literally stood up and made the infamous Deadpool walk backward toward a chair. His hands slammed against that bulky chest as he moved him back, back, and back some more.
Wade reluctantly sat down on the opposite side of Victor Strange, and he smiled when he saw him too. HEY THERE VIC. Wade wanted to give the baby wizard a giant hug, but someone distracted him from the thought.
Oh, right, Steve Rogers started talking. He thanked Wade for having a seat, and he asked Ezekiel if he was comfortable sitting closer to their table.
Normally Ezekiel sat directly across from them, but Steve planned to ask him about it and run the meeting in a completely different way….
He ignored whatever the fuck that was between Wade Wilson and Victor Von Doom. All of that was totally irrelevant in Steve's mind, because he was very adamant about accomplishing something and clearing things up…
Ezekiel didn't want to sit as close, this time. Well, he felt more than awkward because of the morning he had, so…
To clarify, the morning he had was beyond perfect. It was wonderful, so there wasn't anything "wrong" with what happened. He expected Wade to do something stupid around Doom as well, but… he just felt uncomfortable. He wanted to sit beside Victor, and…
Not being there would be even better, but the meeting was mandatory. He had another "mandatory" conversation afterwards as well, with Charles Xavier.
Ezekiel suddenly realized that he didn't answer Steve. He looked up at him, then he just shook his head no.
…
"Very well. This is going to be a short meeting today. We only want to clarify a couple things before we move forward…"
…
Ok. Simply clarifying things sounded easy and, amazing. Ezekiel took a moment to look out at all the faces that were there. Everyone in the room was there for him, and the thought of that was, interesting.
He almost looked in Doom's direction before Steve spoke again. He did intend to have a conversation with him as well, but Wade's behavior temporarily put that thought on hold…
