No-One But You (The Mystic Consultant) - Part 2
Chapter 55: Istanbul(Part 5)
So, before this story progresses any further, someone whohasn'treturned to the storyline felt like going over a headcount.
Tony Stark and Steve Rogers were having a tender moment off in California, but it wasn't going as Tony planned. It seemed Steve was too in his head about his role in their relationship, and he was making things way more complicated than it needed to be. Perhaps he was afraid if he went back to New York, his best friend would "dick down" his boyfriend and steal him away?
LOL sweet baby face Steve…
Let's see…. to the east of the main story/lovebirds, Bucky Barnes went on a lunch date with Stephen Strange. There was nothing weird or sexual about it, because they'd been friends for a long time. Wait, more like, enemies-turned friends. You see, Bucky had shacked up with Stephen's baby sister... so naturally, he liked to keep tabs. Stephen was killing two birds with one stone as well when he grabbed a bite to eat with his ol' pal Bucky.
Those two started talking major shit, and it was amusing….
Now, we aren't tapping into their storyline for a couple more chapters. No, that's not where we're headed to at this point in time. Bucky and Stephen Strange were close to Greenwich Village, while Donna Strange portrayed the role of being a happy roommate off in Manhattan. She went grocery shopping with her friend, and she got her apartment all stocked up and cute.
Her concealed feels for "James" left her thought process for a moment, and the woman went about her day as if he didn't exist, ok? So thetrue heroof this story pondered that as the headcount continued…
Victor Strange and Ezekiel Stane were finally having some much needed "alone time" up in the north, and this is where thereal heroof the story has decided to chime back in. You see, there was some unspoken history going on in the Ezekiel and Victor department, and the author of this story had only alluded to it off and on.
After the house tour and an extensive session of "alone time," Victor and Ezekiel discussed returning to the Kamar taj and getting back to work. Now, what could getting "back to work" possibly mean for the OTHER adorable couple that's figuring things out in this story? It meant returning to the bathhouse threat that was tossed about by Donna Strange, and returning to a time and a place where Ezekiel Stane had his prissy ass parked in the Bronx section of New York.
Ezekiel was in the Bronx for months, doing what? I wonder? Hmmmm...
Thereal heroto this story took a moment to process the thought, because he found himself being randomly transported to what appeared to be a magical land. Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool was suddenly transported to the Kamar taj, and he had no idea why. In his mind, he processed being plucked from his original location, then suddenly finding himself standing in front of …
Ezekiel was dressed in blue. His clothes were, different… and so was the scenery. Wade was in the middle of something important when he was transported, so one hand was attached to his gun, and the other had a hold of one of his swords. It took him a moment to process the person in front of him, but, the assassin gave Ezekiel a large smile beneath his mask..
"Well well well, miss me already? I said you could call me anytime."
Daddy's been busy. Wade almost said that as a tease, but he decided to take a long look around his body instead. Ezekiel seemed alone, and Wade had no idea where they were. It looked like some sort of ancient dojo, but the scene didn't fit Ezekiel's style at all. It seemed a better fit for a wizard, or whatever the fuck Victor Strange was.
Wade slowly glanced behind him. Something was up. Super weird.
"Hello Wade."
Ezekiel greeted the mercenary, and his words were matched with a small smile. Deadpool turned his focus back in Ezekiel's direction, and he eased up on the hold he had on his gun. Wade put his sword back in the sheath as well, and he took a step toward Ezekiel. A thought or two crossed his mind in that moment, and the thought of returning to his home in the Bronx shortly followed.
"Did you lose your suit?"
Back in the day, Wade was on a mini-mission to get Ezekiel Stane out of his white armor. He also had a mission going on to get him out of his clothes too, and the mercenary accomplished both of those goals while they spent time together in New York. He was glad to see Ezekiel without his armor on. He seemed, free…
Free was good. Wade felt happy for him, but of course a lewd joke suddenly crossed his mind.
"I haven't lost it. I see you're still wearing yours."
Ezekiel commented on the red and black body suit that seemed to permanently cover Wade's skin. Thanks to Tony Stark, Ezekiel knew of Deadpool's ability to have a normal body. It was an illusion, but, a good one. He had the ability to look "normal," yet, he still wore that kevlar suit. Ezekiel looked it over, and he almost smiled. The suit was filthy, like always…
"I'm, well, you know… I'm always happy to help you out Ezekiel. Daddy issues are my specialty, but, I was in the middle of something."
"Oh?"
Deadpool saw a smirk, no wait, a twinkle of charm. Ezekiel was a playful young man when he wanted to be, and the mercenary began to feel a bit buttered up. That playful nature had to have a catch to it, because Ezekiel Stane was calculated as fuhhhkkkk…. He wondered if they were gonna hook up again. Wade wanted to, so he took a couple steps forward.
"Yes. I was in Milwaukee, handling some big boy shit."
Then he was plucked away, to do what exactly? Wade glanced behind him again, because some dojo looking guy left one of the dojo looking rooms. Other people were there doing random shit, but Wade ignored them. He wondered what the deal was, and why Ezekiel seemed at ease, and amused. They were standing closer to one another at that point, so Wade gave him another smile.
The smile was noticed, but Ezekiel started looking over toward his left. The person pulling the strings behind Wade returning to the story was Victor Strange. The Sorcerer Supreme wanted to get "back to work" and he wanted to return to the threat that was made by his sister after she had him tossed in the scalding hot bath.
She threatened to bring Wade Wilson into the mix, as if that would affect him, or test his abilities as the Sorcerer Supreme. Well, Ezekiel convinced him that Wade Wilson would make a good ally, so Victor contemplated how to stomach being in his presence. The baby Strange was watching him from the Mirror Dimension, and he heard that SHIT about helping Ezekiel with his daddy issues.
Victor had heard that joke before, and he took in a deep breath after he heard it again.
"Wade, Victor and I would like to train with you."
So, forget Milwaukee. Ezekiel's tech was waking up as he spoke. He could sense where Victor was, and the Jackal began to wonder why it was taking him so long to engage with Deadpool. He figured Victor was feeling the situation out. That, or he was invested in hearing what Wade had to say when no one was looking. Either way, Ezekiel pieced his white armor on over his skin.
It had been a long time, and his soul felt happy when Zephyr's control system came on in front of his eyes. Being in his suit was an experience that was deeply missed.
"Victor and I? Awwwee did you two patch things up?"
How fucking cute. Wade rolled his eyes a little beneath his mask, then he turned his body back in the direction where it kept wanting to go. He could feel some sort of wizard shit going on toward his right. It caused a tingle to mingle down toward his toes. Wade felt excited. He hoped Victor was there, because the mercenary wanted to play with him…
Fuck training. Wade wanted to pounce. Victor's energy was returning from the Mirror Dimension, and its was bigger than the mercenary remembered. He saw Stephen's brother, and Wade immediately asked him if they could play tag. Wanna play tag? He said, and Victor tried to keep his cool. In theory, Deadpool's body was the perfect thing to toss around the Kamar taj.
Victor understood the assignment, so that game of tag got started, right off the bat.
