A Spider's Guide to Heroism

Chapter Twenty-Two

    "Yo, Deadpool. I got a call from-" Spider-Man suddenly flinched and ducked as Deadpool's sword made a harsh swing at him, there was a few more attacks before he finally shot a web and pulled the sword away from Deadpool. "What is wrong with you!" He exclaimed, looking back at the confused Mercenary.
    "I... Oh it's really you." Deadpool replied and took his sword back, pulling the webbing off of it. "I thought you were someone else."
    "Who else could I be?" Spider-Man questioned. "You're the one who said you wanted to talk to me."
    "I thought you were the person who impersonated you last night and stole that diamond necklace." Deadpool admitted. "I was there, I had a first hand encounter."
    "You were there?" Spider-Man looked at Deadpool in surprise. "Well why didn't you stop them instead of letting them plaster me as a villain all over the news?"
    "I tried!" Deadpool cried. "But like, some things happened. The monster kept reforming whenever I tried to cut it, and then it suddenly couldn't be cut anymore, and we we're on a construction building, and the building collapsed and the thing got away!"
    "Whoa, hang on... Monster?" Spider-Man wanted to know what Deadpool meant. "What do you mean by monster."
    "I mean it was a thing, not a person! It looked like you do now, black suit and all." Deadpool exclaimed. "I would slice it and it would reform, even faster then I can regenerate, and it was hissy and growly and stuff."
    "Huh... interesting...." Spider-Man thought on things. "And you said it looked exactly like me?"
    "Yep!" Deadpool replied. "Remind me again why you had a costume change anyway?"

    "I believe I can address that."
    The pair turned to see Nick Fury standing there, arms folded and glaring at them.
    "Oh boy..." Deadpool frowned. "Mr.Fury, Sir! I tried my best, I did! Look see, Spider-Man's not hurt or anything but-"
    "Zip it, Wade." Fury stated and quickly shut the Merc up.
    "Let me guess, you want to talk to me about the suit, huh?" Spider-Man sighed looking back at Fury.
    "Get in the car, the both of you." Fury said and headed around to the other side of the black car that was waiting behind him.
    "Oh, this is like something out of some sort of government action movie!" Deadpool said. "Like we get in the car and on the way to the base he tells us dark details about the protagonist!"
    "What the hell are you on about?" Spider-Man rolled his eyes at Deadpool. "C'mon, you heard the man."
    The pair got into the car and it started to drive off, though it wasn't long before the car took up speed and ventually transformed into a small aircraft and took off.
    "Oh neato!" Deadpool looked outside the window watching the ground get smaller like a little kid on his first air plane ride. "Did I ever mention that S.H.E.I.L.D is really super awesome cool? Cause they are. This is why."
    "So, what's on the go, Fury?" Spider-Man addressed the man in the front seat next to the pilot.
    "You know very well what is on the go." Fury replied.

    "...I take it you heard about the break in?" Spider-Man asked.
    "Yes, of course I did." Fury shifted and caused a small monitor to drop down, displaying the news footage and security camera footage. "It appears our friendly neighbourhood bedbug was on the move last night and committed a crime."
    "Listen, Fury, that wasn't me!" Spider-Man defended himself. "I was asleep all night."
    "Well this footage speaks otherwise, and normally I'd take your word for things but every since you've put on that damn black suit..." Fury started in.
    "No, he's right!" Deadpool cut him off. "I was there! I followed it from the robbery and to an old building. I tried to fight it and it wasn't human. It can't be someone in a suit. I sliced and diced it and it can repair itself, and then suddenly it was able to harden it's skin so I couldn't cut it anymore! It was a monster. It hissed and everything! It wasn't Spider-Man."
    Fury looked at Deadpool. "Are you absolutely sure?" He addressed him.
    "Positive! I wouldn't lie, especially with the mission you put me on." Deadpool replied. "Though I did watch it leave the apartment building you said he lived at."
    "Yeah while we're on this subject, what's this about putting Deadpool on a mission relating to me?" Spider-Man asked.
    "Mind your own." Fury replied.
    "Mind my own! You have hired him to stalk me! I think this is part of my ow-"
    "So, it came from Spider-Man's home but it wasn't Spider-Man?" Fury continued to question Deadpool.
    "I mean... when you think about it like that it does seem like it was him..." Deadpool looked down. "But, I swear it can't be! I'm sure if I stabbed this guy right now he'd bleed out and die instead of just regenerate. The thing couldn't even talk, it didn't even know who I was."
    "I think I'm starting to connect the dots..." Fury looked at Spider-Man who was now sitting crossed armed and annoyed about being ignored. "Spider-Man, remember the last run in with the Symboite..."
