Bye-Bye, Spidey | Spideypool

iii.

When Wade arrived at the Avengers facility, he was immediately greeted by Steve and Tony, who had been waiting anxiously in the lobby. They still had no idea as to why the hell Peter would want to see Deadpool of all people, but they weren't going to deny the kid what he wanted, no matter how delirious he was.

"Where is he?" Wade demanded as he walked up to Steve and Tony. Wordlessly, Tony began walking in the direction of an elevator to the left of where they were standing. Steve and Wade followed. The elevator ride was short and no words were exchanged beside Tony's direction to Jarvis to bring them to the infirmary.

When they reached the floor, Wade practically sprinted down the wide hallway lined with doors. There were several nurses and other staff members littering the hallway that gave him rather weird looks (he was still in his suit and he wasn't exactly an angel in the eyes of the Avengers, after all) and it wasn't until he'd realized that he had no idea where he was that he stopped. Tony caught up and walked past him then into a room a few doors down, Steve trailing behind.

When Wade walked into the room and spotted Peter, he stopped short. After hearing the heavy footsteps of the three men, Peter slowly opened his eyes. Wade was still frozen at the foot of the bed. He hadn't prepared himself for this. He had seen Peter die. He'd felt it. Wade had gotten so used to having everything he loved ripped from grasp that he hadn't even decided to go looking for Peter's body until that very day.

It wasn't until a hoarse voice called his name that Wade fell harshly back into the present.

"Wade?" Peter croaked. Immediately, Wade was by Peter's side, grabbing a glass of water from a table beside the bed and holding it to Peter's lips. Peter took a few sips then batted at Wade's wrist until he moved the glass away. Peter smiled at Wade and slowly lifted his other hand to hold Wade's.

"Do you always wear your big body condom when you visit your boyfriends in the hospital?" Peter teased, although the humor in it was undermined by the hoarseness of his voice. Wade still let out an involuntary huff of laughter.

"I missed you, Princess," Wade murmured, his voice wavering. Peter reached up and gripped at the hem of Wade's mask, but faltered when Wade whispered a broken, "Not now." Peter smiled and continued lifting the mask, but stopped when he'd reached Wade's nose. With all of the strength he could muster, Peter gripped the collar of Wade's suit and pulled him down so that their lips were touching.

"What... the fuck," Tony gaped, staring motionless as Wade and Peter tenderly kissed. Steve stuck Tony in the gut with his elbow and chuckled breathily.

"Isn't that exactly how Banner reacted when he caught us fooling around in the conference room?" Steve asked. Tony could tell that Steve was trying his best to make this as comfortable as possible, but Tony knew the super soldier well enough to detect the hint of disapproval in his tone. Steve had never particularly liked Wade -his loud, irresponsible manner and disregard for human life didn't go over too well with the captain- but Peter was a good kid and Steve vowed to make an effort on his behalf.

Tony was a different story.

"Wilson? Really, Wilson?" he asked in disbelief after the two on the bed had separated. Tony didn't dare even look at Wade, but he knew he'd hurt both of them from Peter's eyes, which could match those of a kicked puppy. Peter fixed those eyes on Wade -who'd pulled his mask back down- and sighed.

"Wade, can you get me a cup of tea? It's cold in here and you know how I like it." Peter silently begged Wade with his eyes and Wade couldn't help but give in. He slowly stood up and walked out of the room. Peter waited until he could no longer see his lover before he went off.
