No-One But You (The Star Child's Eclipse)
Chapter 66: Lone Wolf (Part 6)
…
Sofia Strange was trying to figure out the whole "soccer game" thing, and so far it seemed to be some sort of competition-based, pastime?
…
She looked to her father for some sort of guidance on what she was seeing, then her eyes started studying the bizarre looking costumes that the children her age were wearing.
Some of them had special padding on their legs and elbows, while the other ones had their arms all taped up toward their shoulders.
How, weird? Was that the proper use for that word?
Oh wait, Charles Xavier said some of the other children were mutants, and the rest had "talents" and abilities that a bulk of society didn't understand.
Sofia understood she fit in that category, since her father and mother weren't mutants.
So, what about the little girl named Ellie? Was she a mutant?
It didn't seem like it on the surface level, so Sofia continued observing.
Ellie kicked the "orb" hard and it flew across the field and into something called a "net."
Sofia's father explained that it was a net, but then his focus snapped off in a different direction.
Someone cheered out loud in that moment, but the person's presence was pretty far away.
Was that the funny man? Wade Wilson?
Sofia remembered his voice, so she turned and looked in the same direction as her father.
It was Wade Wilson, and Sofia noticed that her uncle was right there beside him on the roof.
The mercenary didn't mean to cheer so loud when Eleanor scored a point for the team, but it made him feel happy, so…
Victor's FUCKING eyes couldn't possibly roll any farther back in his head, and he was still floating round like MERLIN from the SWORD AND THE STONE.
….
HOLY SHIT STICKS. Stephen Strange was looking in his direction, so Wade went with his impulse and he immediately jumped down from the roof.
He hella ditched Victor's goofy ass... and he was standing right beside the one and only STEPHEN STRANGE before any of them could blink.
The guy didn't show his face a lot, and Wade had been meaning to ask him something a while ago.
…
"WHOA. Hi there, Doctor Strange. Are you Victor Von-Fuck Stick's parallel parking, person?"
…
Quick recap: Decades ago, Steve Rogers and Wade Wilson had a wonderful conversation about being one another's "Parallel Extension," but Wade completely forgot what it was called…
Stephen had no idea what he was talking about, and he made sure to cover Sofia's ears for a moment.
He didn't normally filter what she heard, but… the infamous Deadpool was a special case.
…
"I'm sorry? What?"
…
"Are you his parallel parker person? Steve told me about people paralleling each other. We were at a delicatessen, near his place, and it was super cool. I didn't think I'd ever be besties with Captain America, but yeah it's happened…"
…
Stephen Strange had to laugh at what he heard, and he started noticing that Wade's body language had a mini-clone out there on the soccer field.
The little girl named "Ellie" was waiting for her team to score a goal on their own, and she had her left hand firmly planted on her hip…
There was an attitude to her posture... for sure, and just like her, father? How interesting….
Oh. Right. Parallel parking. Stephen registered whatever the fuck it was Wade Wilson just said, and…
…
"Are you talking about a Parallel Extension?"
…
"YES! That's it. Nice recall on that. I was wondering if YOU are Victor Von Cock-Sock's parallel EXTENSION… So, are you? Can you kill him? Maybe you can hold him with some sort of voo doo spell, then I'll slice him… right here, so he'll be a walking PEZ. You get it?"
…
Wade was so excited, he almost pissed right there on the grass.
He didn't do anything of the sort tho, cuz all the little kiddos were there, and watching.
Stephen gave his wife, brother, and sister a short glance… then his sharp eyes focused on the goofy mercenary once again.
Was HE Victor Von Doom's "Parallel Extension?"… how funny.
…
"What makes you think that?"
…
Oh, wowza. Wade literally jumped when he saw Ellie kick the soccer ball in for another point, and he realized in that moment that he was kinda getting noticed.
Shit. Bad Deadpool. Wade started thinking that he should have stayed where he was on the roof, but he had to know… and seeing Stephen Strange was kind of a rare thing.
OH. Wait. WHAT MAKES HIM THINK THAT? Wade's focusely challenged brain finally registered Stephen's question, and he accidentally gave Ellie a cheerful wave.
Wade was a proud papa, but on the down-low…
…
"Well, it's like Steve said…those parallel extendo people are usually identical opposites. You're Doctor Strange, and he's Doctor Doom. You're an actual Doctor, and Victor Von Cock-Sock only calls himself one to look cool, or whatever. Are you guys the same height?"
…
Wade was curious, and oh shit. Emily Preston saw him wave a little earlier.. and she gave the mercenary a very confused look.
Did she forget that she invited him there? Hmmmm…
The infamous Deadpool started looking for some BALD-FUCKER immediately after he saw the look on Emily Preston's face.
She seemed very surprised to see him there, so did someone forget to cover his psychic tracks?
Wade Wilson was catching onto someone's shenanigans, and yes he cheered for Ellie once again.
…
She scored another goal, and… Wade kinda forgot to stay in character.
…
