A Spider's Guide to Heroism

Chapter Five

    The red coloured duo stood outside the door, listening in on the conversation and the death threats that were arising.
    "Hey," Deadpool whispered. "Shouldn't we do something?"
    "Not yet." Spider-Man hushed him again. "Sounds like they're armed and there is defiantly more than one of them..."
    "Wanna use me as bait?" Deadpool offered getting a odd look from Spider-Man
    "What? No!" He scowled under his mask. "What's wrong with you, a room full of armed forces and you want me to toss you in as bait?"
    "I have a healing factor." Deadpool pointed out. "You toss me in, they shoot me, I take the bullets and you sneak in, knock them out and then demand a cash reward for saving the King Ping's ass."
    "Alright, that does sound like a good idea, but I'm not doing that..." Spider-Man replied.
    "What? Why not! You just said it was a good idea!" Deadpool exclaimed.
    "Because, you're still gonna feel those bullets going through you." He stepped away from the door and stood to face Deadpool. "You shouldn't be abusing yourself like that, the healing factor should just be used as a safety net, not a tool."

    Deadpool fell silent, he never really though that much about it but, yeah, getting shot at, arms cut, burned, crushed, all that stuff... It hurt. He'd just gotten so used to it though that he learned to kinda ignore the pain but he couldn't lie that when regrowing a new limb, he suffered somewhat. His healing factor was probably what made him so reckless in the first place though, because he didn't have to worry about a hand being cut off, but that recklessness can be very, very dangerous.

    "I'm not gonna allow you to do that to yourself just to get one up on HYDRA." Spider-Man continued. "It was already hard enough watching you cut your own head off and re-attach it last week."
    "Fair point." Deadpool continued and the pair went back to listening to the door.

    "I'll ask you again." The person who spoke first before continued once again to question the King Ping. "What is Oscorp doing with all that ISO-8?"
    "Look." The King Ping replied calmly. "I honestly don't know what he's doing with it. I just sell it to him."
    "Hmm, poor business to not keep tabs on your buyers, isn't it?" The HYDRA agent addressed. "What if Mr.Osborne  were to do something illegal with the ISO-8, more illegal than it already is to have it in possession? You'd be arrested for being his 'supplier'."
    "I have people to take care of that. All sales are final and I had him sign a contract reliving me of all liabilities." King Ping scoffed. "Now if all you wanted was information, that's all I have and I'd appreciate it if you took your leave now before I do something drastic as compensation for destroying my building."
    "Yes, I do believe we're done here."

    Suddenly the door to the office area was kicked in, and a quick web from out of no where grabbed the gun in the hand of the agent, tossing it aside just as it fired, sparing the King Ping the bullet.
    "Dude what the hell happened to not just running in!?" Deadpool questioned him standing in the doorway.
    "Spider Senses...." Spider-Man replied motioning to the scene of which he had just saved the King Ping from taking a bullet.
    "What is this bug doing here!?" The main agent asked, turning around to the attackers and having her men aim the guns at them. "Spider-Man? I thought they said you were dead."
    "Dead, who told you tha-" Spider-Man stood up straight realizing something drastic. "HYDRA!?"
    A web was shot to reel back in the mercenary whom tried to sneak out through the back door, aware he was about to get an earful. "YOU TOOK THAT CONTRACT FROM HYDRA?"
    "Look, look! I know it sounds bad but like I said I was broke. I needed the cash!" Deadpool tried to express his defence. "I faked your death remember! I wasn't actually gonna kill you, I swear!"
    "I cannot believe you!" Spider-Man tossed his hands up. "Of all people to scam, and of all companies to work for, you  willingly agreed to give HYDRA my head!?"
    "It does sound really bad when you say it." Deadpool replied, managing to cut the webs that were around him with a pocket knife. "B-but you're not dead! So there's no big deal right!?"
    "Oh we are so going to have a looooong talk after-"  Spider-Man stopped mid sentence, quickly jumping towards Deadpool and pulling him down to the ground, as a bullet passed through the area of which his head was, shattering the glass in the door.
