Everything is Red

Chapter 29 - Date Night Part Four (This is still going on?!)

Peter's eyes followed the path in which Wade's finger was pointing excitedly at a large booth at the end of the isle they were now walking down. Peter rolled his eyes, "Wade I don't think that's a go-"

"Peter, I know exactly what you're going to say and you're right this is an excellent opportunity for me to show off my inhuman skills!" Wade said excitedly as he quickened his pace towards the booth.

"That definitely wasn't what I was going to say," Peter tried to keep up with Wade's widened steps as he rushed towards the booth, "Wade! You know you get way to competitive about these things!"

"Don't be ridiculous, there's no need to be competitive when I win at everything I do."

"Well, that is definitely not true, I'm sure you remember that game of Sor-" Wade stopped dead in his tracks and spun around placing his hand gently over Peter's mouth stopping him from talking.

"We do not speak of that night, nothing happened!" Wade huffed as he spun back around and continued his speedy journey towards the booth.

"Well, just remember Wade to control yourself we don't need to draw attention to ourselves."

"Cross my heart I'll be good," Wade said crossing his finger in an imaginary 'x' over his chest, as he stared at the booth they were now standing in front of. The booth in question was a large shooting range, with toy BB guns. The targets at this booth were aliens very similar to the ones Loki had unleashed on Earth quite a few years earlier. A few people were already using the guns that lined the front of the booth but there was one spot open that Wade excitedly took with Peter standing just behind him. The employee at this booth came over and let Wade know that he got 25 shots if he hit 25 targets he would win a prize.

Wade gingerly picked up the rifle feeling it out a little and Peter could see a small smile spreading across his face. Pretending like he hadn't held a gun before Wade fidgeted with it and Peter once again rolled his eyes at the over acting his friend was displaying right now. "Gosh, it's been ages since I've held one of these!" Glancing back at Peter he smirked and gave him a little wink, causing Peter to shake his head with disapproval.

"Okay, everyone at the sound of the bell please take your shots!" The employee said over the speaker system, as he went and stood out of the way of everyone. Peter watched as Wade toyed around with the rifle in his hands spinning it and looking at the intricate details in the fake plastic wood. Pretending not to pay attention Wade made it blatantly obvious to Peter that he was putting up a huge act.

The bell rang and in a split second Wade had the gun securely pushed to his shoulder and his arms went to a more rigid position but still hung slightly loose in his elbows as he held the gun up. Peter couldn't help but smile at just how cool Wade looked right now. Although Peter didn't agree with Wade's use of guns he had to admit it was pretty amazing just how accurate and deadly he could be with his weapons when he was actually trying.

The sound of what Peter could make out to be at least 20 shots and loud clicks from the BB's hitting the metal aliens were almost fired so quickly that Peter couldn't even make out exactly how many shots Wade had fired until he saw him in that split second place his gun down. Everyone had yet to fire a shot and now all stared at Wade in a stupor with their guns slightly hanging out of their hands.

"Wow I am really rusty, see what you did to me?!" Wade complained as he turned back to Peter and pointed at one of the targets that instead of having a small indent right between its eyes had an indent in the middle of it's throat. "You've turned me into my worst nightmare, a bad shot!"

Peter shook his head for awhile, "Don't blame me for your lack of aim," Peter whispered under his breath "you couldn't even hit me."

Wade gasped dramatically and threw his hand up to his chest gripping his jacket, "How dare you, you know for a fact I missed on purpose!"
