Hong Kong: Triad's Cocktail Party

'BANG!'

'CRACK!'

'SLICE!'

"So...are we teaming up now? Kinda feels like we are!"

"Yes Deadpool. Now focus!"

"Okay, but only because it's hot when you're demanding!"

"Shut your mouth. Or I will do it for you."

"...Now that's just mean."

Deadpool retorts as the three of them were fighting against the ninjas sent by Ra's Al Ghul, the Demon's Head.

And currently it was bad odds...for the ninjas, I mean.

Shiva was either crippling or swiftly killing her half. Cass was just rendering her half unconscious with strong and quick strikes.

As for Deadpool, he handled them the way he usually does...by shooting, impaling, decapitation or any outlandish way.

And within three to five minutes, the whole room was filled ninjas laid put on the floor.

"Well...that was fun." Deadpool states with a smile as he walks to the center of the room.

But then he notices the angered looks on both Cass and Shiva's faces.

"What?" He asks confused.

"You were working for Ra's Al Ghul?" Cass questions and Deadpool raises his hands defensively.

"Whoa, Whoa, I didn't know who he was. The guy didn't give me his name! He was quite impersonal." He defends and Cass folds her arms.

"And you didn't think to ask?" She says and Deadpool sighs.

"Not how things work in the mercenary business. If a client doesn't give his name or he doesn't give you his exact reasons for the hit, that usually means shut the hell up and get the job done. Plus, I did ask why...then he hung up. " He explains.

"And you still tried assassinating me?" Shiva asks, annoyed.

"Yeah, but...I changed my mind, didn't I?" Deadpool says and Cass scoffs.

"Unbelievable." She mutters to herself. Then she notices behind Deadpool was the Head Ninja getting up and trying to get away.

Cass then grabs one of the pieces of glass on the floor and throws it at the Head Ninja, hitting him in the leg, causing him to fall down.

"GAH!" He yells in pain and Deadpool turns around and see the Ninja.

"Oh, him. You gonna interrogate him?" He asks, curious and Cass doesn't answer and simply walks towards the Head Ninja.

White Box: "Congratulations. You pissed off the girl you like."

"I did?"

Red Box: "Duh, dumbass."

Yellow Box: "I'm not the brightest of the bunch but even I know she's mad."

"Yeah, how so?" He asks, and Cass grabs the Head Ninja and slams his head on the counter then grabs a bottle.

"How do we find Ra's Al Ghul?" She questions with a serious edge in her voice.

"I...will never give up my master!" The Head Ninja proclaims and Cass breaks the bottle and stabs his shoulder with the jagged end.

"ARGHHH!" The Head Ninja yells in pain and Deadpool's eyes widen.

"Oh yeah, she's pissed." He states and Cass twists the bottle, causing more blood to run down the Ninja's shoulder.

"Either you bleed out...or give me what I need to know. Pick one." She says and the Ninja groans in pain.

"He has...ugh...relocated to his facility in...Nanda Parbat. But he will be expecting you." The Head Ninja informs and Cass takes out the bottle out of his shoulder.

Then she rips the bottom of her dress and uses it to patch up his wound.

"I figured." She replies then knocks him out and Shiva raises an eyebrow.

"We're just going to leave him here?" She says and Cass glares at her.

"You don't get to ask. Only answer. Why did you leave the League?" She demands and Deadpool looks in between the two.

"Is it that important now?" Shiva asks.

"Ra's Al Ghul wants to kill you. Simply leaving the League isn't enough to warrant your death...so why did you leave?" Cass questions.

"...Because of him." Shiva says pointing to Deadpool who was confused.

"Excuse moi?" He says surprised.

"Ra's mind has always been...unwell due to the effects of the Lazarus Pit. As he thought that was his only way for immortality." Shiva begins and Cass raises an eyebrow.

"He's found another option through Deadpool?" She asks and Shiva nods.

"Yes. You may think yourself elusive mercenary, but Ra's Al Ghul has been keeping tabs on you. You've drawn his attention. Not many can do that." Shiva informs and Deadpool chuckles.

"Not surprising. I got a...magnetic personality." He jokes and Shiva rolls her eyes.

"But he's not interested in recruiting you. He wants your ability to heal. That way he doesn't further deteriorates his mind." She says and Deadpool frowns.

"Oh. Kinda crapped all over me, but okay." Deadpool says.

"But how would he do that?" Cass questions.

"With a machine he's built. One that will transfer Deadpool's ability to him. While killing him in the process." She states and Deadpool's eyes widen before his expression turns to one of annoyance.

"And the fucker that I was going to be fine with that?" He questions.

"Obviously not. Which is why he had this team following you closely. Possibly to take you with force." Shiva explains.

"You still haven't told me the reason why you left." Cass reminds.

"Because even I know what kind of damage Ra's would leave in his wake if he were immortal WITHOUT the Lazarus Pit. His intentions to better the world have always been there but he's become the very thing he swore to rid the world of. That...is why I left, daughter." Shiva reveals and Cass's gaze softens as she reads her body language. Nothing to indicate she was lying.

"...Soooo...we going to this "Nanda Parbat" joint? Please tell me we are, because I personally want to meet this asshole of an employer!" Deadpool chines in and Cass nods.

"Nanda Parbat is in the Himalayas. I have a private jet that will get us there. But for now, we must rest. We'll leave in the morning." Shiva says then starts heading towards the elevator.

"Nice! It was cool meeting you, by the way! Again, sorry for trying to kill you." Deadpool says then looks at Cass who starts walking towards the elevator.

"Hey. Are you mad at me?" He asks and stops then turns to face him.

"We'll talk later." She informs and continues walking to the elevator.

"Oh. Cool, cool, cool, cool! I'll, uh, get some shut eye. Sweet dreams!...or Good night! Whatever you prefer." Deadpool rambles.

White Box: "She is still mad at you, y'know?"

"Gee, no fucking shit Sherlock."
