Phoenix Pact Into The Marvel Universe Volume #1 [Satire]

Issue #3 - The Gratuitous Cameo Issue (Currently Being Revised)

*In X-23's apartment*

*Heat was the last to enter X-23's somewhat run down sized studio apartment. Heat closes the door behind herself while Arctic plopped onto the nearby couch in the living room. Meanwhile Sparky was mousing around the place, scanning through empty pizza boxes, canned food, then candy bar wrappers. X-23 watched over all of them then solely to Sparky once noticing that he was staring at her fridge*

Heat: Not a bad place at all.

*X-23 looked over to Heat while Sparky quickly turned to a nearby toaster. He then stared up at a fresh loaf of bread, above her fridge, then glanced over to X-23*

Sparky: You know, this reminds me of Arctic's old apartment.

*X-23 slowly turned to Arctic while Heat walked over toward them*

X-23: You had an apartment, Arctic?
Arctic: Yeah, it was a bit of a phase.
Heat: So X-23...uhm, Squirrel Girl was talking about something of a wolverine earlier.
Sparky: She's probably talking about that pet her little sister...had...

*Sparky slowly scanned around the kitchen, then room looking around for someone, while X-23 shook her head*

X-23: No it's my...my new hero title. I am a clone of a man named Logan. Long story short, he had taken me in and helped me find a purpose...and well after he died I wanted to carry the mantle he left behind...The Wolverine.

*Heat firmly nodded to X-23, giving her a look of admiration. Sparky casually grabbed the toasted bread from the toaster*

Heat: Well that really reminds me of me and my dad. He uh...we were tracking a villain, named Plague, who...killed my mother and he...ended up getting killed too. I went on a warpath to find Plague when I ran into Arctic and...my long story short of it was that I was able to get my revenge...because of my friends here and carry on my father's legacy as a hero.
X-23: I'm sure both your parents would be proud of you.
Heat: As I'm sure Logan, would be proud of you too.

*Sparky took a bite out of the toast, proudly nodding to both of them*

Sparky: That's pretty touching, so where's Gyro-
X-23: And did someone give you permission to eat my bread?

*Sparky's eyes instantly became wide with terror. He heavily gulps his food, slowly moving the toast he bit away from his face. He then looks to the second toasted bread and then to X-23, handing the bread to her*

Sparky: Ugh, sorry.

*X-23 snatched the bread from his hand, shaking her head at Sparky. Sparky scarfed down the toast he'd already bitten into, causing Heat to sigh and shake her head*

Heat: Sorry about him. I'm sure Sparky didn't mean anything by it even though he does, at times, lack manners.
Sparky (With food in his mouth): I do not lack manners.

*Sparky whipping the crumbs off his face, hesitantly watched X-23 who was still shaking her head at him. Arctic shook his head and sighed as well*

Arctic: Well-...wait a minute, is Gyro and Squirrel Girl still downstairs?

{End of Scene#1}

*Apartment entrance, on the stairwell*

Gyro: Gabby will end up as a mental case if she hangs around you!
Squirrel Girl: There's nothing wrong with talking to Squirrels!
Gyro: Well, I never thought there was a step below crazy cat ladies until I met you!
Squirrel Girl: I bet me and my squirrels can wipe the floor with you!
Gyro: Do you honestly think I can be defeated by a couple of squirrels!? What do you think you and your squirrels are!? Unbeatable!?
