No-One But You (The Mystic Consultant) - Part 1

Chapter78: Red Lights (Part 8)

When Wade Wilson made it back to the group, he joked around about not signing up for anything that had to do with wizards.

Deadpool didn't fuck with mystical wizard shit, ok?

He was just overpowering Ezekiel. He almost had the mad dog version of him on his back, but then he suddenly flew off toward oblivion.

The mercenary caught a glimpse of who hit him with some sort of energy, and it was Victor Strange. He monitored Ezekiel months before he decided to attack him. Wade did his homework.

He knew that Victor and Ezekiel had shacked up on more than one occasion. The two of them bounced around from place to place for months...

They were lovebirds long ago, but now? It didn't seem like it. Wade's focus kept following the baby brother of Stephen Strange. Baby Victor seemed to be in control of himself and his wizard themed capabilities.

Deadpool wondered how they were going to be able to work together. Steve Rogers seemed to think everyone would get along.

Oh look, someone left. Wade watched someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. randomly leave the conversation. Clint Barton wasn't followed through the portal and it eventually closed.

His attention returned to that pearly white suit. Ezekiel wouldn't remove it and it was beginning to get on Wade's last nerve.

This internal dilemma began to form as he stood there. It aggravated the mercenary the more the chat carried on. He wanted to remove the "costume" that he was seeing, but who was he to judge?

Wade was wearing one as well, but it wasn't as fancy.

Victor Strange asked Steve Rogers a few questions. He asked, how did he expect them to actually react to "Deadpool's" presence? Victor also asked him to explain if he even thought it through.

Wade felt like speaking for himself a little bit, I mean...

"I think he thought it through, and this community service is growing on me."

Deadpool thought of it as community service. He smiled beneath his mask, and just about everyone looked in his direction. Well, everyone looked except for one.

He couldn't really tell where Ezekiel was looking beneath that suit, but his body was facing in a different direction.

"I plan to help you guys suck a little less with all this teamwork crap. I can also help with the hand-to-hand combat stuff and overcoming any daddy issues..."

How bout that? Wade smiled again. He noticed someone's shoulder move just a tiny bit. Ezekiel was listening to what the mercenary was saying. He heard his comment, and he wondered if it was some sort of joke.

"Daddy issues might cost extra.."

Someone within the group laughed. It was Bucky Barnes, because what he heard made his day. The not-so-winter soldier was excited to have someone like Deadpool suddenly in the mix.

He looked over toward the middle of the group, where Steve and Ezekiel were standing. The "Jackal" was the only one looking in the opposite direction. He wasn't facing Wade at all, and Bucky wondered what was happening beneath the hood.

"So, how about it?"

Wade directed those words specifically to Ezekiel Stane. He even took one step closer toward him as he spoke. Did he want to work on his daddy issues and learn to play with all the others?

The idea of it amused the mercenary, so he waited.

Victor's expression started getting a little sour. He wanted to send Wade Wilson flying toward the moon again in that moment. The baby Strange didn't like what he was hearing because Deadpool had a peculiar tone to his voice when he spoke.

It sounded like he was taunting and borderline flirting with some crime lord that kinda dumped him.

Victor closed his eyes where he stood and he took in a deep breath. The baby sorcerer took a moment to remind himself that he just sent his friendly roommate back to their apartment.

He planned to talk to him, so he couldn't get wrapped up in Ezekiel's shit ..
