No-One But You (The Mystic Consultant) - Part 2

Chapter 77: Technovore (Part 7)

...

Apparently, anyone over the age of 18 can drink AND buy alcohol in a place called Turkey. Victor Strange was just shy of turning 21, but that didn't mean jack shit in Istanbul. Also, a majority of the rules relating to alcohol were hardly enforced there.

Who knew? Well, onlyone personin their group understood that information. Wanna take a guess on which one it was?

…

Wade Wilson, Wong, and Victor were learning about Istanbul the easy way when they stepped into one of the loudest and busiest night clubs in the country. The anxiety that comes with living in the United States was suddenly lifted for the three of them as well, because nobody gave fuck about Victor's age, and they got to walk right on in.

"Her seyin bedelini odeyecegim."

WHOA WAIT, guess what else they learned.. Apparently, Ezekiel Stane was fluent in the Turkish language. Hmmm, do we wonder why? He told the bartender that he would be paying for all of their drinks. Ezekiel explained himself to the man working in such an efficient and fluent manner… Wade, Victor and Wong were left kinda speechless.

"Hold up. How many languages do you actually speak?"

Deadpool had done as much homework as he could on Ezekiel before he almost murdered him. His thoughts changed on that down the road, but we know all about that. The Jackal gave the man a plain black card to hold onto, then he looked at Wade Wilson for a moment. Before he answered his question, his focus went back to Victor. The Jackal was avoiding Wade in a way, because he didn't know how to behave at that point.

"I'm not sure, but I know a lot."

Ezekiel had strict schooling, and his father had him learning as many languages that a child could actually digest. His father also made sure he was well versed in the way things operated on every continent. The Turkish language was surrounding them in that moment, and Ezekiel understood it all with ease. The music was loud, different, and pulsing through their skin.

Ezekiel asked Victor what he wanted to drink. He wanted to treat him, but all the baby Strange could think about was how comfortable Ezekiel seemed in that moment. Didn't he realize what was happening? Victor was pretty fascinated with what he was seeing. Ezekiel was actually home, and Victor wanted to tell him right then and there.

Tony Stark said that he didn't know, and Victor even heard him say the words that he didn't know where he was born.

"Ask them what their strongest drink is. Wong's gunna get shit-faced tonight. Right buddy?"

Wade was treating "Wong Wilson" like he was an old pal. His behavior was amusing, so Ezekiel smiled in their direction. Victor snapped out of his mini-coma after a bit, and he said he wasn't sure what to drink. Victor had never really been out drinking before, but he felt happy in that moment. He felt more than happy, but he still had a plan in mind to get to the bottom of what he could see going on between Ezekiel and Wade.

That was the missing puzzle piece, and Victor was living for it.

To make things easier, they all got a single shot of the strongest drink, to start. The group of four all drank them down in one quick motion. The group took their shot, then they wandered. Some of them wandered one way, and thankfully… Victor watched WONG wander in a different direction. Good grief man, the baby Sorcerer could see that "Deadpool" was being super nice to him. He was treating Wong like royalty, and it was super weird.

Victor fixated on it for a moment, then he started getting lost amongst all the people. Ezekiel stuck close to Victor, and he made sure to avoid Wade. For some reason, being there and being with Victor was affecting Ezekiel in an unexpected way. He was reminded of when they first interacted, and he wanted to be alone with him.

"Wait, is he working?"

Victor noticed something in that moment, about Deadpool. He was weaving around the large crowd and sticking close to Wong. Yeah, the super freak was doing all of that, but the baby Strange could see that he was also studying the area. Wade was always heavily armed, and it felt like he was, working? Hold up. Victor also had to touch Ezekiel's body in that moment, because they were standing pretty close.

"Wade is technically my bodyguard. I haven't given him the official title yet, but… you can say that he's always working.."

Deadpool told him he was always going to be looking out for him. Ezekiel recalled what he said before he offered up his services. OH, REALLY? In Victor's baby mind, that made things even better. The music felt good beneath his skin, and Victor Strange wasn't even aware that he was a baby lightweight. The first shot of alcohol he took made him feel even better, so he started getting even closer to Ezekiel's body.

Oh and yes. Wade Wilson was officially working.

He was showing Wong Wilson a good time, and he was feeling out a number of people in the crowd. BUT, the mercenary had another objective in mind whenever he was in the same area, or under the same roof as Ezekiel Stane. Wade was there to protect him, and to help him dismantle everything that's been built.

He was also there to make sure Ezekiel could finally enjoy himself, and actually do something fun for once. Wade even had a special treat for him, if he wanted it. Deadpool could tell when someone was avoiding him tho, so he held off on bringing it up.
