I Am Cancer ((A Deadpool Story))

Chapter 16:- Origin

Wade woke up pretty late the next day, his eyes stinging from the light and a cold feeling around his wrists. He tried to move but was stuck, his body struggling against his restraints, but it was useless. "You're handcuffed to the bed, Wade." Tony's said, as he peeled his eyes open.

As he looked around the room, something felt very strange, the cold breaze hitting his cheeks as he lay there. He looked to the side of him, finding a mirror placed on the table, when he saw his face. The scars showing. "What the fuck, where's my..." Wade mumbled, trying to teleport out of there, but to no avail.

"You're going to explain everything. You can't continue going on like this!" Tony yelled, crossing his arms over his head. Wade looked between the three men sat beside his bed. His eyes brimming with tears.

"Continue doing what? Being a mercenary? Or do you mean hiding? Because I'm pretty sure you can see why I hide from people! Now give me my mask or let me go!" Wade screamed attempting to break the handcuffs.

"No we want to know what happened? What fucked you up so badly?" Peter shouted. Wade stared at him, the scars on show for everyone to see. "You're going to stay there until you tell us." Peter said, his eyes narrow and full of determination.

"How did I even get here... Didn't I..." Wade stopped himself from finishing the sentence, realising that the previous night was probably a hallucination from the absinth he had drank.

Tony looked at Steve hoping Wade wouldn't remember falling asleep next to Peter, they couldn't risk him knowing Peter wasn't really upset with him. "Are you going to tell us now, or later?" Steve said.

Wade sighed and looked down at his feet. "Once there was a young boy who fell into a -"

"I've heard this one Wade, the true story." Peter said and narrowed his eyes more, if that was even possible.

"When I was younger my mum molested me. My dad was in the military so when he'd go away shed... He found out eventually, he beat me for disrespecting his wife. She left him after that. My dad became an alcoholic and eventually drank himself to death..." Wade started.

Tony, Steve and Peter stood there, their mouths open. This had to be the real story. Wade wouldn't make something like this up, but why did he decide to tell them such a story..?

"I was orphaned and found a mother figure in the owner of the place. She did the same as my mother though. I escaped not long after getting there, before things between us got any worse, and joined the army. At 17 I became a mercenary, after being kicked out for 'bad behaviours'. I then got diagnosed with Cancer."

Tears stung Peters eyes as Wade continued his story. The tests, the powers, Francis, Vanessa. He then told them what happened with the X-Men and Logan.

"So I began to drink heavily when Siryn walked up to me, we... Did things... An then she started laughing and revealed herself as Typhoid Mary... That's when Tony stepped in."

By the end Wade had tears streaming down his face, his eyes red and puffy and struggling to breath. "I'm so sorry for making you..." Peter began but couldn't finish his sentence.

Tony unlocked the handcuffs handing the merc his mask, and sitting down in the corner of the room. "I'm gonna go, see you around Spidey." Wade said, before disappearing from the awkward atmosphere.
