No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor) - Part 2
Chapter 61: No Regrets, Coyote (Part 1)
Soooooo… two rich as fuhkkk trillion dolllar trust fund babies suddenly walked into Mama Louisa's delicatessen, and somebody in there loudly told them that they had some "straight up" gangsta swag.
…
Can you guess who it was? Ezekiel Stane was looking right at him when he said it, and you could totally see the confusion settle on the baby Jackal's face. Ezekiel needed to friggen translate everything Wade Wilson said to him, but whatever…
The Jackal got his message, but he decided to put his response on ice for the time being. Making his precious "daddy" wait was part of the fun, and Ezekiel was known to make him wait FOR DAYS…
Anyway… the baby Jackal also took a long look around the small deli, and he could tell immediately that he was standing in Luchino Nefaria's territory. So, Howard Stark's extended family still had a grip on the working class sector of New York…
…
How funny. Ezekiel took the silent approach as he walked up to Wade Wilson's table, just as Tony Stark took his seat down beside Steve Rogers.
The two inventors came to an understanding that day, and there was no need to rehash what was said or dwell on it. Now it was time for the two of them to simply… "coexist"… but only for Wade and Steve's sake.
…
"You wanna sit down, Shiny? I won't bite… I swear."
…
Wade Wilson looked almost giddy, and very… handsome. Ezekiel snapped out of some void when the mercenary spoke up again. Wade said something peculiar when they first walked in, but the words didn't really register.
Ezekiel didn't realize it, but he started staring at the man who was sitting across the table from Steve Rogers. Wade looked very…
…
He looked, different… and Ezekiel wasn't sure how to properly describe the way he looked. Their wonderful conversation earlier began to catch up with the moment as well, so the baby Jackal kinda froze up for a sec…
…
Uhhh, the young man sat down beside Wade shortly after that, while Tony Stark kept his focus more on Steve. He slammed the door in his face back in Malibu, if you recall, so…
Tony's soul was technically under attack, so the feisty brunette didn't mean to do that. That beautiful blonde told him that he already ordered up some food for him, and Tony responded with a small smile.
He planned to apologize to Steve… later, and explain himself as best he could. You see, Steve Rogers didn't deserve that shit, so Tony was a bit annoyed with himself. Compromising on the "double date" and going through with it was a must, because Steve friggen lived for stuff like that.
Deep down, Tony knew that his precious Blondie was a social butterfly… and it was cute as fuhhhkkk…
…
Now… on the opposite side of the table, Wade Wilson really had the jitters. He was squirming around in his seat and scooting in a bit closer toward Ezekiel Stane. Steve was beyond amused with it and he pondered over the whole "parallel extension" thing once again, because Wade's reaction was amusing to him as well.
…
"Wowza, look at us, two broke jokes sitting next to two zillionaire cuties…. Steve aren't you broke, like me?"
…
Wade had to say it, because he didn't make a ton of money with his mercenary work, and sometimes, he even did the job for free. Well, it depends on the person, oh wait, Wade hadn't worked on a "job" or made any money … since… when?
Uhh, the mercenary glanced at Ezekiel, cuz he suddenly recalled the fact that he hadn't worked or made a dime since the two of them became a thing. Oops.
…
"Well, I wouldn't call myself broke Wade, but I don't technically make any money? So, maybe?"
…
Steve only received a large sum of money ages ago, but that money was barely touched. Did that mean he was a broke joke? The blonde never expected the question, so he glanced over at Tony.
Am I broke? Lol Steve snickered at the thought, and Tony kept looking at his adorable smile. No.. Steve Rogers definitely wasn't broke, and the money he had was properly invested.
Howard Stark made sure of that… ages ago. Tony was aware of the details, but he didn't want to bore everyone with that shit.
…
Oh look! The second order arrived, and Ezekiel glanced down at the food that was placed in front of him. Wade picked the "weird" sandwich, and he assumed it was Greek.
The order was actually called the "puccia uliata salentina"… and Ezekiel took a bite of it straight away. It looked delicious, and the baby Jackal was hungry. YOU SEE THAT SHIT? Wade knew that he picked the right one, so he gave Steve Rogers a big goofy smile.
…
"I have a question, if I may…"
…
Steve had a number of questions, actually, and he liked the easy going vibes that were taking place. Ezekiel heard the blonde, so he gulped down the bite and looked over at Tony. A question? Question for who?
…
"Have the two of you read over the information about Battleworld?"
…
The question was for Ezekiel and Wade, because Steve Rogers wanted to talk to them about something in an informal manner. Uhhhhh… Wade wasn't aware there was any information to "read" about Doctor Victor Von Fuck-Face's grand plans…. but, boy oh boy was he all ears…
The merc immediately snapped his focus in Ezekiel's direction, and for some reason… it looked like the quiet coyote was about to choke on his sandwich.
…
Good going Captain sexy-pants. Wade gave that question a big thumbs up.
…
