No-One But You (The Star Child's Eclipse)
Chapter 50: Daydreamer (Part 10)
…
It took Wade Wilson and Ezekiel Stane a while to get from the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility to The Bronx, but they made it "home" eventually, and one of them started LOUDLY looking around the house for something specific.
…
Wade was on a wild goose chase as soon as he got in the door, and he was talking to himself as he scoured around and rummaged through his messy crash-pad.
Ezekiel couldn't figure out what the mercenary was doing around the house in that moment, or what he was even searching for, so…
Hmm… the somber Jackal just wandered off to Wade's bedroom for a bit. He changed into some of Wade's bulky clothes, OH, and he removed his sunglasses too.
Ezekiel felt more than comfortable doing that, and just like Tony Stark… he started digging around on a screen of his own.
He needed to review the information that his fellow inventor was bitching about and recalibrate the plan he came up with for his team.
Wade's noise got louder as Ezekiel made his way into the kitchen, and he absentmindedly started skimming around Wade's options for food.
That "quiet coyote" had developed a bit of a taste for some of Wade's junk food, and he found himself snacking on it all the time.
…
"I FOUND IT. Fuck yeah…"
…
Lol. Ezekiel playfully rolled his eyes as he heard the mercenary say something off in the distance.
Wade was tearing the house apart looking for, what now?
Ezekiel's attention was more focused on finding food, and the information he already submitted to the Surveillant Council regarding S.H.A.D.O.W…
…
"I thought we left this thing in Japan, but I found it. Ay Shiny, did you know that I didn't unpack my duffle bag from that Japan trip. How long ago was that? Cuz, I totally forgot about unpacking it… wowza."
…
Wade was rambling about… and talking his usual nonsense.
Ezekiel was listening to him as he skimmed around for something in the fridge AND while he was looking over the info.
He was working on his sobriety in that moment as well, because his mind still had a lingering buzz from all of Wade's… stimulants.
Speaking of stimulants, Ezekiel Stane's soul flustered up and started running hot the instant he saw what Wade Wilson had been looking for within the house.
The mercenary held up an extremely familiar TIMER as soon as he entered the kitchen.
The two of them utilized that timer a lot while they spent some time together off in Japan, and the baby Jackal slowly swallowed down everything that he suddenly felt.
Wade also removed the mask that concealed his face when he entered the room… so… Ezekiel's body immediately started heating up.
Oh, the clever little Jackal did his best not to show what he felt, but Wade Wilson wasn't fooled for a second…
…
"Yeah? Why would you dig that thing up…"
…
"Cuz, I've got some questions for you Shiny… big questions, and I could do this all day."
…
Tee hee. That's a plug on good ol' Steve Rogers, in case you couldn't tell.
Wade even mimicked Steve's super-friendly voice too… just for kicks. Turns out the infamous Deadpool was all about getting one's kicks, if you catch the drift.
That's slang, but whatever… let's go.
Ezekiel's heart just about stopped when Wade made some noise about having …questions.
Yeah no. The baby Jackal definitely didn't want to engage in any of that sort of foreplay.
How to turn the tides? That's the question that immediately took hold in Ezekiel Stane's young mind.
He slowly closed the refrigerator door, and he quietly approached the infamous Wade.
Having that timer in Wade's possession was a problem, because it made Ezekiel feel too much, and the "prince of darkness" didn't know what to expect from his precious protector in that moment…
…
"You could finally stick to the plan we discussed in Japan instead, and simply fuck me senseless."
…
"Oh no no no my clever little coyote. You're not gunna play your little distraction games with me today."
…
Wade's gotten to know Ezekiel Stane's diversion techniques PRETTY DARN WELL at this point in the story, so it's safe to say that he would NOT be seduced and led astray by his cute lil fiancé… yet.
LOL.
Ezekiel heard Wade's goofy laugh fill up the entire kitchen after all that, and deep down it made the somber Jackal smile.
Fuck. Something called a "jig" was clearly up, so all Ezekiel could do was playfully roll his eyes.
Wade wanted to know what he said to him in Turkish earlier, right? Was that all, because that information was somewhat easy to rehash and deliver…
…
"You set the timer for what, twenty minutes last time? In Japan? So, I'll ask you questions for twenty, then IF you're answers satisfy me… I'll satisfy you. Got it?"
…
That's the fuckin DEAL, Ezekiel… and there weren't going to be any negotiations about it taking place.
Wade watched that clever little Jackal think over what he said. He saw that sassy little smirk too, so the merc did his best to refrain…
OOH, Wade also glanced down at the clothes Ezekiel borrowed from him, then he watched that lil cyberpunk cutie mess around with something on a screen.
…
"Knock yourself out, Wade.."
…
Ezekiel had been haunted with the thought of being honest with Wade for hours. It felt like decades at that point for the quiet coyote, so fucking bring it on….
Was the alleged "prince of darkness" nervous about answering Deadpool's bonkers as fuck questions?
…
Yes, but… the timing of it all felt right, for some reason.
