Everything is Red

Chapter 5 - A Super Duper Team Up

Wade kicked some rocks that laid just by his feet as he looked out into the open night as he stood outside the hole in the warehouse. He looked at the surrounding area for the man that had attacked Spidey and grumbled at the lack of one hipster bad guy that was clearly in a sore need of some ass-kicking.

I really wanted to teach that guy a lesson for laying his hands on Spidey.

And not a good lesson either! Not like a lesson in how to balance his books or how to invest in his 401k, which is honestly a really important thing to know.

Let's find this guy and teach him all about what it's like to be unalive!

Wade scanned the surrounding areas one more time for any clues on the direction in which the unknown hipster had run away too. He came up empty-handed though only finding an alarming amount of nothing. This guy knew how to make an exit, he didn't leave a single unturned stone, a broken blade of grass or even footprints in any direction.

Wade spun back around looking in through the hole back into the warehouse, Spidey was hunched over still sitting on the box with his forearms resting on top of his legs as he stared at the ground with his head hung low.

"Sorry Spidey, no sign of him and definitely no sign of where he went. Maybe you kicked him out of existence!" Wade said while walking back up to him.

"That was my last and only lead to finding Osborn.." Spidey breathed out through clenched teeth with his head still hung down. "Well, at least I didn't die this time, so lucky me I guess." He said sadly under his breath.

"Don't worry we will catch this wannabe Shia LeBeouf hipster fuck!" Wade said with more enthusiasm, placing a hand on Spidey's shoulder hoping to reassure him with a gentle pat.

"We?" Spidey said as he sat up straight and looked at Wade with a tilted head.

Wade couldn't help but notice that Spidey allowed his hand to stay on his shoulder as he looked up at Wade with a questioning look.

"Well yeah! You can obviously use some back up with this guy. I mean no offense Spidey but looks like he knocked you around to next Tuesday." Wade said looking down at Spidey.

"In my defense, the moment you saw was not one of my proudest moments but he did shoot me with that anti spider gun so there wasn't much I could do. But it definitely won't happen a second time since I know what to expect from that Captain America wannabe." Spidey said with a stern look as he began to stand up.

"Well, I'm sure you weren't planning on getting hit with the ray gun of love this time either," Wade said as he watched Spidey struggle to stand up straight.

"It was all apart of the plan, I had him right where I wanted him." Spidey joked as he straightened up into a full standing position in front of Wade.

"I'm sure you did tiger, but hey, the more the merrier!" Wade said. "Plus I've been thinking about my life choices, and all though I regret nothing! I want you to know I've been thinking about making a few changes and traveling down that old yellow brick road to becoming a real superhero!"

"Seriously?" Spidey tilted his head to the side once again, as if to question the legitimacy of the mercenaries words.

Yeah, seriously?

I don't remember us deciding to bat for the other team?

Wade was both in part lying and telling the truth, and little white lies usually never hurt anyone, right? He had always looked up to the one and only Spider-Man.   Wade wished he could be like his fellow super, no matter how bad things got Spidey always stuck to his values. This was something Wade could get on board for, he needed something like values in his life. Something to help him get out of the path he was walking down now, he could feel himself lose a little piece of himself every day and this scared him.  While he wasn't ready to admit that he didn't like the path he was going down, he was ready to admit he was ready for a change.  A change in himself and a change in how he helped people.  Wade still very much believed that some of these horrendous human beings that just continually got put away in jail and then just broke out or were released back into the world just to hurt someone again, were better off dead. But he wanted to see what the other side was like and really try to change things around.   And something that sent him down the right path couldn't be all that bad, well besides the fact he wouldn't get to unalive anyone again. But maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.

"That's great to hear Deadpool! I'm really proud of you for wanting to make a change!" SPidey said with a pat to Wades back, before he could respond to Spidey's inquiry on the legitimacy of his own proposal. 

Yeah, it would definitely be worth it. Wade thought as he stared at Spidey.

"Are you checking the yes box to a team-up right now Spidey?" Wade said excitedly with a couple of claps as he jumped up and down.

"Yes, Mr. Pool I will be your Yoda and teach you the ways of the force. And by force, I mean the ways on how to not kill people!" Spidey said with a smile not visible to Wade but a smile that could be heard in his voice.

"This is going to be the best team-up since Marty and Doc Brown! Of course, I'm Doc Brown you can be Marty." Wade clapped excitedly.

Wade watched as Spidey chuckled and flinched a little at the pain it brought. He put another hand on Spidey's shoulder. "You okay Spidey?"

"Oh, I'm peachy, just feeling a little drained of energy at the moment." Spidey smiled.

"Well, nothing brings energy back quite like some great Mexican food! Let me take you to my favorite joint in Manhattan. My treat of course!" Wade said with a light pat to Spideys shoulder. "We can consider it a get to know your new partner dinner!"

"Food actually does sound amazing right now, I can never turn down good Mexican food! Let's go then." Spidey said looking up at Wade waiting for him to lead the way.

"Awesome! Do you want to hop on the Deadpool Express?" Wade said opening his arms up as if he wanted Spidey to jump into his arms for another prince carries the princess routine.

"Thanks for the offer but I'm more of a self-efficient princess." Spider-Man chuckled as he walked past Wade towards the front entrance of the warehouse. He spun around to look back at Wade with a smile in his voice. "Which way is this life-changing Mexican restaurant again?"
