No-One But You (The Zephyr Endeavor) - Part 2
Chapter 64: No Regrets, Coyote(Part 4)
…
Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out…..
…
Wade Wilson's left eye suddenly twitched, and he was doing everything he could to remain calm and keep his cool. The mercenary physically effingggggg witnessed Ezekiel Stane's abrupt mental collapse… cuz clearly some dumb fuck COCK SOCK was still doing things behind the scenes…
…
"WHAT did he do?"
…
Was that too loud? Wade tried not to kick his gear up into the psycho range and raise his voice. They were just headed out the fucking door, and now this…
…
Ezekiel just slammed his eyes shut after some time, because he didn't expect Doom to communicate with him like that or reveal anything of the sort…
Wade was about to blow. The baby Jackal could tell, so he hugged his arms together as tight as they could get. It felt, comforting… for some reason, because Ezekiel felt as if he was suddenly losing his grip.
What did he do? Ezekiel really couldn't say. The mercenary would definitely freak out if he knew, and… the thought of that happening was pretty terrifying.
…
"Can somebody PLEASEEEEEEE shed some light on this shit? Something just friggen happened to you. WE ALL SAW IT EZEKIEL, and I wanna know what it was. What did he fucking do? What did he fucking say? I'm about to … ho man. I'm gunna fucking lose it and break open that PEZ HEAD like you wouldn't believe…"
…
Wade Wilson was beyoooondddd pissed off, so he started rambling, pacing, stomping, and moving around with all of that frustration.
Ezekiel just stood there, completely frozen. Wade looked so angry, yet so… handsome.
He was dressed nice too, and Ezekiel knew that he was trying to make things feel.. special. Oh, the baby Jackal froze up even more. He became mute. Silent. Inarticulate. The young man was deprived of his use of speech or words….
…
"You know what? I can pretty much guess what Doctor McDick-Tip Doom has to say, so fuuuuuck this… I beyond give up. If you can't tell me what he did, then that's a problem… and this banana tree's heading home for good. Okay, that came out wrong… but, I mean don't follow me. Don't talk to me anymore, Ezekiel, and don't go anywhere near Sister Margaret's OR my gutter rat house. I'm doing you the biggest favor imaginable by saying I'm done. I'm out. I'LL ONLY BE SEEING THAT COCK-SOCK FUCK IN BATTLEWORLD."
…
WADE WAS IN A BLIND RAGE, then he raged some more and stomped off. Steve Rogers absolutely had to cut in after hearing that, and he gently pulled Wade along with him as he made his way out the door.
The mercenary resisted Steve's friendly presence immediately, and Ezekiel could hear him demanding answers outside the delicatessen.
…
The baby Jackal remained completely frozen, but his heart was beating so fast… he wasn't sure if he could breathe. Wade's words were brutal, and…
Suddenly his heart felt… broken? Ezekiel felt something similar to physical pain, and he wasn't expecting any of that. The baby Jackal was beyond caught off guard as well, so the grip he had on his arms grew tense and tightened up.
Wade wasn't serious, right? He couldn't possibly mean what he said…
Ezekiel refused to believe it, but he truly couldn't turn his head, speak, or move. He eventually glanced up at the final member of their group, and an uneasy feeling began to wash over Ezekiel's somber soul.
Tony hadn't really said anything while they both ate, and… Ezekiel understood that the other inventor was only there to "coexist."
…
…
"You know… some say honesty is always the best policy, but who am I to speak?"
…
That's all Tony Stark had to say on the matter at hand, so the brunette put his sunglasses on and simply stepped out of the deli.
Deep down, Tony was more invested in keeping the Mind Stone out of Victor Von Doom's hands, so the brunette got to work on preventing that while the infamous Deadpool started ranting and raving.
You see, interesting things really were going on beneath the surface… and Ezekiel Stane's mind was the focal point. Think of his mind as a shiny prism, giving anyone who's anyone access to all kinds of yummy information.
Doctor Victor Von Doom made a move that backfired, and now all three "sections" of his opponent were on high alert. Tony and Steve monitored Doom in one direction, while Stephen Strange and his family monitored in the next.
The third component was run by Charles Xavier, and they allllll tapped into that interesting little rant.
Ezekiel Stane was officially declared a weakness for Doom, because the man had an interest in keeping him in some sort of secret state. He clearly had plans for the "quiet coyote" but he just wasn't living up to his promised potential.
Tony stepped more toward Steve, and he noticed that a sea of onlookers were still there taking pictures. A swarm of people showed up when he arrived in his suit… remember? … and what makes you think they left?
…
It was friggen stalker city outside Mama Louisa's Delicatessen, and Wade's growing hostility was making the numbers grow. The infamous Deadpool was actually a local legend… but luckily, the everyday person didn't know what he looked like beneath his suit.
So… calming Deadpool down became their top priority, and thankfully Steve Rogers was an expert at that sort of thing…
