"Ah, the best."

Colossus pulled a slab of concrete off of the machine Alina was in, Negasonic moving down to slide open the door. Alina got out slowly, looking between the pair of them before muttering, "Thanks."

"Just take it slow." Colossus told her as she got up, wincing at her massive headache, Colossus dropping the concrete down on the machine again.

"Yoo-hoo!" Wade called and they looked to see he was waving frantically at them. "Oh, my God! That was so-"

He was cut of my Francis tackling him over, onto the floor after rolling down heaps of concrete. Wade immediately kicked Francis back down, punching him int he face before snapping one of his arms and then the other, thwacking him across the face again multiple times.

Francis laughed as Wade exhaled loudly, "There are no words! Me and you are headed to fix this butterface."

"What?" Francis asked before chuckling. "You stupid fucking idiot. Did you really think there was a cure... for that?"

"What?" Wade asked, tilting his head.

"You heard me." Francis nodded.

"No." Wade mumbled distraught. "No!" Wade breathed heavily, tossing his head back as Francis coughed and laughed. "So, you mean to say, after all this, you can't fix me?"

"It sounds even stupider when you say it." Francis taunted.

"Like the kind of stupid who admits he can't do the one thing I'm keeping him alive for?" Wade questioned, pulling out Al's gun. "Any last words?"

"What's my name?"

"Who fuckin' cares?"

"Wade!" Colossus cut in as Wade went to shoot him. "Four or five moments."

"I'm sorry?" Wade quizzed.

"Four or five moments," Colossus repeated, "that's all it takes."

"To?" Wade pressed.

"Be a hero." Colossus said and Francis groaned, moving his head away from the gun. "Everyone thinks it's a full-time job. Wake up a hero, bush your teeth a hero, go to work a hero. Not true. Over a life time, there are only four or five moments that really matter. Moments when you're offered a choice. To make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw, save a friend... spare an enemy. In these moments, everything else falls away. The way the world sees us. The way we-" Colossus was cut off by Wade shooting Francis. The metal man then threw up, pausing to ask, "Why?" before throwing up more.

"You were droning on!" Wade stated. "Sure, I may be stuck looking like pepperoni flatbread but at least fuckface won't heal from that. If wearing superhero tights means sparring psychopaths then maybe I wasn't meant to wear 'em. Not everyone monitors a hall like you."
