Team Obliteration : The Destruction Cube

Chapter 3

Once they reached the X-Mansion, they were greeted by Storm. She seemed very happy that they had decided to visit.

"Oh, Logan, Cass, Alex!" she said as she swung open the door. "How nice of you all to drop by."

"Yeah," said Alex. "It was Logan's idea."

"Why don't you all come inside now," Storm said. "School's still going on, but you could still hang around."

As they entered, a few kids ran up to Logan, asking him about where he had been. He answered them as Alex and Cassie headed off to their rooms with Storm.

"So," said Storm. "How long you guys staying?"

"Maybe 3 days," said Cassie.

"That's great!"

They reached their rooms and settled in. Logan headed to his own room later.

Deadpool's P.O.V.

Deadpool, Slenderman and Jayla had decided to stay behind. Yes, it was true that Logan had invited them to come along with him to visit the X-Men, but Deadpool wasn't really on good terms with them, Slenderman didn't really even know them, and Jayla had something going on. Deadpool wanted to know what that something was, but he guessed that he'd just have to wait and see.

"You're curious, aren't you?" said one of Deadpool's inner voices. This was the serious one, and he was in Bold.

"What do you think?" said the silly voice. This one was in Italics. "He's cray-cray for her, man."

"I'm not," said Deadpool as he grit his teeth. He was alone in his bedroom, and was fiddling with some of his sharp-pointy weapons.

"Yes, you are..." said Italics cheekily.

"Admit it dude," said Bold too.

Deadpool sighed. "Fine, fine. I am."

"Ta-daa. He admitted it."

"Thank you for being true to yourself."

"Whatever."

He decided that it had been long enough that he was sitting in his bedroom, and he headed out the door. Closing it behind him, he headed to the dining room. He found Slenderman sitting alone there, munching on some food.

"Dude," said Deadpool as he began preparing a sandwich for himself. "Don't you miss eating human flesh and all that stuff? I can give you some since I can heal, if you want."

Deadpool noticed Slenderman wince. "No," said Slenderman without hesitation. "I don't want to go back to becoming a serial killer."

"But, isn't it, like a part of you?" Deadpool said once more as he sat down opposite Slenderman. "Don't you, NEED human flesh to survive? At least that's how your creator created you. I mean, you should really-"

"Deadpool," Slenderman interrupted him. "Shut up."

Deadpool realized that he probably hit a soft spot, and kept his mouth to himself.

"Look at whatcha done, look at whatcha done, you probably hurt your bestest friend, ba- dum... ba-dum.." Italics sang softly in Deadpool's head to the tune of Megan Nicole's 'Look at Whatcha Done'.

"Shut up already..." groaned Bold.

Slenderman's P.O.V.

Deadpool had went over to the television to play some games after breakfast, and Slendy simply sat at the dining table. He stared at the crumbs from his cookie that lay on the table.

Normally, Slenderman would disrupt the electrical connection in the TV and it would just show static. But, thanks to Deadpool's skills at fiddling with things and making them better, the TV was now immune to Slenderman.

But Slendy wasn't thinking about that.

When Deadpool had said that killing was a part of Slendy, he didn't realize that it was true and that he had brought back some memories that Slenderman had tried very hard to forget. It happened quite a few times, days, or rather nights, where Slenderman would lose control of himself and end up going to the woods and kidnapping children. It would seem as if he were asleep, and he wouldn't remember anything that happened.

Then, when he wakes up, he would find himself in a bloody mess collapsed on his bedroom floor, with the window wide open. That's why he never put a carpet in his room. And he would taste the all too familiar taste of meat on his tongue.

And that's where all the nightmares came from.

But no one knew any of these things.

Slenderman sighed and got up. "Can I join you?" he asked Deadpool as he slid into the couch next to him.

"Sure thing, buddy," said Deadpool as he handed Slendy a controller.

Deadpool's P.O.V.

As the boys continued playing their games, suddenly they heard footsteps coming down the staircase. Deadpool paused the game and turned to find...

"Jayla?" Slenderman asked. She was dressed quite nicely, with loop earrings dangling from her ears and her hair that fell nicely over her shoulders. To Slenderman, she looked like any ordinary girl, but to Deadpool, she looked...

"Gorgeous..." Italics and Bold moaned together.

Deadpool simply sat there, his mouth hanging open behind his mask.

"Where you going?" asked Slenderman as she grabbed a cookie from the kitchen counter and headed to the door.

"Gonna go meet my boyfriend."

Deadpool was suddenly jerked away from his thoughts and he almost jumped up. But he stayed still. This was his secret, and he was going to keep it.

"Boyfriend?" asked Slendy plainly. "We all didn't know you had one."

"Ya..." said Jayla. "I don't really talk much about him."

Deadpool meanwhile was trying very hard to swallow the lump in his throat.

A loud horn was heard, and Jayla waved to both of them before heading out the door. Deadpool gasped as the door shut.

"You okay dude?" said Slenderman as he turned to face him.

"Shit," said Bold. "Come up with something quickly. He has telepathy, you know."

Deadpool responded to Bold's advice by coughing, then saying to Slenderman, "I chocked on my saliva."

Slenderman simply shrugged and turned back to the television. They continued their game, Deadpool not feeling so lively anymore.
