Oh say can you see...

[ROUX]

Wade stumbled forward, his foot splashing in a puddle of blood as he did so before crashing into the side of one of the many crates stacked inside the building. His arm ached, his head ached, his back ached - where one of the men had stabbed him with a goddamn dagger. Plus, he had no idea what he'd just shot himself with. A couple of the policemen came through the door, shining flashlights through the dark, and coming upon Wade.


"Hey you! Did you do this?" One of them yelled, seeing the sword laying by the anti-hero's feet and another in his hand.


"No. It was the queen of England," Deadpool laughed weakly, before coughing blood out of his mouth and sliding to the floor. The cop went up to him, gun bared and Wade snarled at it, his good arm moving with a flash and stabbing the man in the stomach, burying the hilt inside. "Don't. Don't do that," he said, but the other two men were already shooting at him.

 

[SavvanahRo]

Tony dropped me by the entrance to the warehouse and landed beside me. We nodded to the police officers before heading inside, my shield up. We went towards the sounds of gunshots, Tony's hands up, ready to fire. We stepped over bodies of men and puddles of blood, the stench making me want to be sick.

 

[ROUX]

Wade lunged for the first cop and missed, groaning at the feel of the bullets lodging themselves in his body as he smacked against the floor. He couldn't even think of something ridiculous to say at the situation, but then again, that was mainly because he'd gotten shot in the throat at some point. Frigging cops. Didn't they know hot to make a clean headshot?

 

[SavvanahRo]

"Hold your fire!" I shouted, entering the room, shield raised. I nodded to the officers, before moving closer with Tony towards the man. I immediately recognized Wade's uniform.

 

[ROUX]

"Mmm. Spangles. Could this possibly get any worse?" Wade wondered out loud hoarsely, his words slurred as he fought to keep back the black that was threatening to cover his vision as he struggled to lift his head up.

 

[SavvanahRo]

"We'll take over from here, gentlemen. Search the building for survivors and apprehend them," I said, eyeing the cases of drugs. The men nodded and exited the room. I went over to Wade, ignoring Tony. "Are you okay?"

 

[ROUX]

"About okay as I look," Wade said, giving up on sitting up, though peering at Steve through his mask.

 

[SavvanahRo]

"Tony, go look for the boss." Tony, actually listening for once, left the room, with little protest. I knelt next to Wade.

 

[ROUX]

"So close," Wade mumbled, knowing he'd most likely pass out in the next few seconds. "You have worse timing than the Olivier Giroud kiss at that match last year..."

 

[SavvanahRo]

"The what?" I set down my shield. "Stay with me, Wade," I instructed, lifting his mask and checking his pulse. "Did they inject you with any drugs?"

 

[ROUX]

"No...I did," He admitted weakly, grabbing Steve's wrist and trying to move it away.

 

[SavvanahRo]

I clenched my jaw. "They're going to try and take you away. And I know you enough that you don't want to go and that you'll kill everyone when you break out. So, go now."

 

[ROUX]

"Why are you telling me this..."


Wade felt his healing factor kick in - finally - and he pushed his torso up from the floor.

 

[SavvanahRo]

"Because I don't want innocent people killed."

 

[ROUX]

Wade looked away. "No other reason...? Nevermind. I should go then," He said, holding his arm as he tried to stand.

 

[SavvanahRo]

I stepped back. "I will try and keep the officers off your tail."

 

[ROUX]

Wade looked back up at him, not really sure what he was doing or asking of the blonde man. "Steve...I..."

 

[SavvanahRo]

"Yes?" I looked at Wade, waiting.

 

[ROUX]

Wade stared at him, opening his mouth to say something when he realized that what he wanted to reveal was utterly ridiculous. He shut his mouth, shaking his head before limping towards the back exit.

 

[SavvanahRo]

I watched him limp away, before going in search of Tony and explaining the situation.

 

[ROUX]

Wade stopped when he deemed himself far away enough from the massacre, collapsing against the side of a stone wall. Whatever he'd shot himself with hadn't worn off - in fact, he was feeling worse. He was beginning to doubt the stuff was a regular drug...

 

[SavvanahRo]

Tony went and told the police officers that Tony had actually pulverized Wade before grabbing and taking off for Stark Tower.

 

[ROUX]

No. Definitely not a regular drug.


And it had slowed his healing factor ridiculously...


Wade suddenly lurched to the side, heaving the contents of his stomach on the street, his body convulsing horribly as he did so. When the spasms stopes racking pain through his arm, head, and chest, he sat there shaking.


Darren was in Washington...he couldn't help. If someone found him and recognized him, he'd be dead before he woke. And Wade could feel himself slipping again. Just before he passed out, he managed to get to his phone. He dialed Steve, who was practically the last person he could semi-trust that wouldn't double cross him, moaning in pain into the phone before finally succumbing to the darkness.

 

[SavvanahRo]

"Hello? Wade? Wade? Are you there? Wade, where are you? Are you okay? Tony! Trace his number!" I handed the phone to Tony, and knew that after Wade's groan, he was not good.


[Timeskip]


Tony let go of me and I rolled before running over to Wade, shaking him. "Wade? Can you hear me?" Not getting a response and noticing a few people had seen us, I waved Tony over. "We'll fix him up in your lab," I said, picking Wade up. Tony grabbed me and took off, grunting about how heavy we were.


[Timeskip]

 

[ROUX]

Wade woke, but kept his breath even out of habit as to not make anyone aware that he was awake. He opened his eyes however, and stared up at the ceiling. "Am I dead? Cause I figured there'd be more hot girls in heaven."
