Injuries were to be expected when in a location like this. Considering that this was a location where all of the people there were because they ended up there because they were chosen to fight another person to the death.

Injuries like this, were unusual.

"How do you lose everything but your head?"

"Look, it's not my fault that Silver Samurai got the jump on me." Deadpool's head pointed out, "The author just wanted to show off how injuries were treated around here anyways."

"Ignoring that," Iron Man grumbled, "That still doesn't explain what happened to the rest of your body."

"Buu vaporized most of it with his ki blasts." Deadpool replied, "And is it weird that I can feel my ass itch despite the fact that I don't have it anymore?"

"Probably." Tony replied, "But this is you. There's no telling what goes on in that deranged head of yours."

"A lot of cancer killing my brain cells, followed by my healing factor replacing it."

"Rhetorical question." Tony replied, "Anything else we should be watching out for?"

"Yeah, Kenshiro can't really blow up alien guys made out of putty. Plus side, Kirby also doesn't have any pressure points that Ken could hit."

"I kinda want to know the context behind that." Miguel said from his own gurney, "Shock, Silver Samurai's sword packs a punch."

"That psycho putty patrolman opened his stomach just as Kirby snuck up behind him and Kenshiro threw a punch. Since Kirby didn't have any real pressure points for Ken to manipulate - Or at least, none that can be easily reached anyways."

"I don't think I've ever seen him fight an alien being, anyways." Miguel said.

"Look, my body's going to take awhile to grow back. Can I at least get someone to scratch my nose?" Deadpool asked, "And a spare suit so that we can keep our T rating?"

"Point there. Last thing we want to see is Wade's cancer-ridden-"

"Yeah, yeah." Wade cut off, "You're just jealous that you can't make cancer look good like I can."

"You look like a walking tumor most of the time."

"And I'm the best-looking one ever!"

"That's about as sensible as saying that Superman could dodge Darkseid's Omega Beams."

"You want to know something I don't get?" Deadpool asked.

"What?"

"Superman is faster than Batman. Why is it that he can never dodge those things? - AND WILL SOMEBODY SCRATCH MY NOSE?"

Miguel got up and scratched the nose while groaning.

"Hey! Watch the talons!" Deadpool called.

"I thought you wanted your nose to be scratched?" Miguel asked, "By the way, I know you probably can't tell, but I'm smirking right now."

"Well, to answer your first question," Iron Man explained, "I'd say that it's because every Omega Beam he takes is one less hit that one of his friends or an innocent bystander has to take."

"Really? - I thought it was because writers get so lazy or that they're on the Bat's dong so much that they have to make him look good so that he doesn't look bad in comparison to guys like Flash or Wonder Woman." Deadpool said, "wow! Looks like the author has some unfinished gripes about that."

"You make no shocking sense sometimes…"

"Even without his ass, Wade still manages to talk out of it."

"It's one of my many talents!" Deadpool pointed out, "It's just like my perfectly legitimate business of killing people for money!"

"Being a mercenary isn't legitimate!"

"It kinda is in my world." Miguel added, "And didn't that J J guy that Parker complains about hire someone to try to kill him? - What was his name again? - I just remember something about a tail…"

"Scorpion?" Tony offered

"Kron?" Miguel asked, "I thought that he was my villain. Did he get stuck inside an iceberg like Steve?"

"No, the other Scorpion."

"Hanzo Hasashi?"

"No, not him. He doesn't like being called that." Tony replied.

"The German Hockey Team!" Deadpool called out.

"Wha- How many Scorpions are there?" Tony asked.

"Too many."


"I give him five minutes of brooding or until he needs backup again."

"Nah. I say three minutes, while grumbling how nobody tried to catch him." Yang said.

"I'm his roommate," Raiden pointed out, "I'm pretty sure that it'll be five minutes of brooding."

"Ah have his imprint on me." Rogue pointed out, "And ah say that he grumbles some not-safe-for-work stuff under his breath, and walks off."

"You wanna put some money on that?" Carol asked, "Because I say that Wolverine threatens us about the whole thing then walks off in a huff."

"Ah bet that last jelly-filled that you always take when we're paired for patrol." Rogue pointed, "And if you win, I'll… be your maid for a week."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. Ah'll even wear a skimpy outfit." Rogue said.

"Only if you wear one of those under outfits so that you don't accidentally absorb someone." Yang said, "Wait, are you going to go French maid or something else?"

"Why are you so interested in Rogue's outfits?"

"It's one of Deadpool's old outfits, actually." Rogue said, "He owes me one after that stunt he pulled in his video game."

"That… doesn't explain why Yang is so interested in seeing you in a maid's outfit though."

"We both saw Diana's muscles, Carol. I think we all know that neither of us is straight."

"Urh…"

"Oh hey, Logan's up." Raiden pointed out.

"Little mother…" Wolverine grumbled under his breath before walking off. Yang picked up a few words here and there, and the look on her face meant that Rogue had called it.

"Yes! And no guilting me into giving it to you because of mah asshole mom, either!" Rogue pointed in Carol's face.

"I'll just rub it in that I'm getting my own movie while you're stuck being in an ensemble cast that clearly doesn't care about you enough to give you a meaningful scene in Days of Future Past."

"Ah hate those execs. Deleting my scene and all…"

"It was basically a sidequest that didn't add anything to the plot. Quit being a spotlight hog!"

"You mean like how Wolverine here steals the spotlight from pretty much every X-Man flik he's in?" Yang asked.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"I can still hear you, you know!" Wolverine called from his new position, "Now can we take care of these things, or is that too hard?"

The four of them sighed, "I can't believe that Rogue won." Raiden mumbled under his breath.

"I know… And I was actually kinda looking forward to seeing her in that maid's outfit."

"Seriously? - Wouldn't Tifa get a bit jealous?" Carol smirked.

"I feel as if that joke's getting old."

"Seeing you getting flustered though, never gets old." The other blonde pointed out.

"Just like constantly reminding me about how mah shapeshifting mom beat your husband to death?" Rogue asked.

"You know, it occurs to me that we both have shapeshifting mothers named 'Raven.'" Yang pointed out, "Maybe we should make a club or something."

"'Kids who have a shapeshifting crap mom named Raven' club. Doesn't roll off the tongue that well, but it should work." Rogue noted.

"We can brainstorm later."


X: And it's finally done. School and work make it really hard to find the time to write.

Wade: Well, that, and wasting time on tumblr.

X: That too.
