The Eye Of The Beholder

Chapter 13: Waiting

Deadpool

There wasn't a single trail on Taskmaster and the voices are starting to get on my every last nerve.

You know what's weird?

What?

We aren't ugly to Peter.

Is this just now hitting you? You think he would have let us fuck him if he thought we were the monster we originally thought we were?

No, I knew when we fucked him. But hell, I think even if he did think we were hideous he would still love us.

Silence..

"Really, Logic? Nothing?" I ask.

I don't....I don't have anything...

"Wait, what makes you think he loves us?"

Well, he didn't leave us.

He listened to us when no one else would. He spent time with us when the Avengers told him not to. We could go on...

"Alright, so maybe you guys have a point..."

You know we're right.

"Yeah, yeah..." I roll my eyes and look down at my Adventure Time watch. "We better head home. Pete will be looking for us. It's pretty late."

Sounds like a plan to us.

Yeah. You know...his back is probably close to healed by now.

So?

So, we promised we wouldn't go easy on him once he's healed...

Logic and I wait for a bit while Insanity takes a minute.

OHHH! WE'RE GONNA FUCK HIM!

"There you go." I sigh. Instantly, we're back at Spidey's place.

It's strangely quiet. He told me he has a paper due in two days so I figured he'd be up typing. I at least thought I would hear his new fan whirring. He can't sleep without a fan. And when he has to sleep without a fan (when I shot it because it was making me cold), he can't sleep without me. Or at least that's what he said. Maybe he was lying to make us feel better...

Peter wouldn't do that. You know that.

So he's still on patrol. If he is, he'll be on that roof.

I teleport to the roof where we hung out last, not Spidey's roof, the other one.

"Spidey?" I call. I walk back and forth a bit until I hear a crunch under my foot. I look down. A syringe.

I have a feeling we should be suspicious.

Don't be ridiculous. This is a public roof. It could be a drug addict or something. They're very sloppy.

"Yeah, drug addict...." I inhale. I know Logic is trying to calm me down but I'm still worried as hell.

I teleport back to Spidey's place and curl up in his bed. It smells just like him. It puts me more at ease.

He'll be home any minute.

Any minute now....

........

At anytime....

He'll be back soon. He will.
