No-One But You (The Star Child's Eclipse)

Chapter 27: The Futurist (Part 7)


Wade Wilson was dead asleep beside Ezekiel Stane, so he missed the update about the Surveillant Council meeting…

Ezekiel didn't miss it, naturally, and his tired eyes read over what Tony Stark was trying to pull together.

That fucking snark.

The "quiet coyote's" eyes sharpened up after some time, because he read over how his presence at the meeting "wasn't necessary" a number of times…

What bullshit did that asshole cook up now? The somber Jackal could only friggen wonder…

They just saw one another a couple hours ago, and now this…

Ezekiel had to roll his eyes, because he found the update to be … idiotic, and annoying.

His eyes glanced over in Wade's direction again, then he studied the look on his handsome face.

All he needed was a teddy bear in that moment, or… whatever.

It was… adorable. Ezekiel's baby heart felt a little more than warm as he studied Wade.

He wasn't sober at all, and his mind felt trashed. Ezekiel's body felt good tho, so… in his opinion that was a win.

A big win, because Tony Stark was off somewhere freaking out and spinning his wheels.

He was obviously BOTHERED about something, and honestly… who the fuck cares?

Ezekiel let out an annoyed sigh, then he looked over another section of the "Surveillant Council" meeting request.

The name Victor Von Doom suddenly crossed into Ezekiel's line of sight, and a familiar feeling suddenly washed over his soul.

So, his presence was mandatory. That was beyond irritating, and hard for the somber Jackal to process.

He thought about Doom's scar for a moment, then those pesky emotions made him look over at Wade once again.

It might have been a … memory? Ezekiel fucking hoped that wasn't the case.

There was only one way to know, and it involved having a conversation with someone that he was doing his best to avoid.

Ezekiel's eyes stopped at the name Charles Xavier, then he closed them for a long while.

Speaking to Charles was mandatory…and, it had been a long time.

LOL. Wade said something stupid in his sleep. It sounded like he was hungry or something, because he made a comment about food.

How hilarious. Ezekiel tried not to smile at what he heard, but why?…

The Jackal never understood his own behavior, so he formed a private message on a separate screen.

He decided to reach out to Charles Xavier in that moment, because he needed the mutant to do him a favor.

The quiet coyote needed Charles to facilitate an important conversation, after the meeting, and… it had to be done without Wade knowing about it.

Ezekiel's heart was going haywire as he composed the discreet message to Charles.

He asked him to arrange for the two of them to have a conversation with … Doom, after the meeting… and yes he was freaking out.

Fuck.

His baby heart almost burst out of his chest as he sent that message off toward its recipient, then he looked over at Wade for the third time to make sure he was still asleep.

If Victor Von Doom's scar was a memory, then that was a problem. If it wasn't a memory, then… that was also a fucking problem…

He couldn't talk to Doom about it on his own, and there was NO FUCKING WAY WADE COULD KNOW.

That was a terrible idea on so many levels, but Ezekiel needed to understand what happened earlier.

So, Charles Xavier absolutely had to be involved.

Ezekiel committed himself to what he sent, then he shut down all the screens.

He pushed all that shit out of his line of sight, then he turned over and got as close to Wade as he could…
