He has to move. Needs to get up.

[ You need to hurry!]

( We're running out of time!)

The boxes cry as the Mercenary tries to drag himself up from the severe injury. The fallen bodies of his enemy's tripping him, causing the wound to reopen more as it tries to quickly heal over.

" Dad!"  Ellie cries out. Terror and pain clear in her young voice. The call for help making the parent ever I possibly more urgent and desperate in his navigation through the labyrinth of confusing halls and pointless rooms.

" I'm coming!" He calls back unable to hide his pitiful desperation as he panics as he's turned around and unable to find the most precious person that had ever come into his life.

And then the screaming starts again. Her high pitched screams echo through the endless walkways. The sound almost making the Mercenary flinch away only he couldn't. Those where coming from his little girl. Sounds no parent should ever hear. The sounds of their offspring being tortured with pain in order to drive Their parent mad with the terrible sounds and their own seemingly useless effort to save their child.

Another wave of uselessly trained people come rushing come rushing from quickly opened doors from the very walls of the maze. This time Deadpool doesn't waste his time with fighting the people sent in. He surges forward and pushed through them to the opening in the wall. Someone tries to jab at him with their sad excuse of a sword. He doesn't do anything but pull away from them as he gets inside.

The shrieking screams echo less in these halls along with the fact they become Louder. He sprints through empty hall ways.

The screams slowly die down to the heavy crying of a child. " Dad," she whimpers.

Wade doesn't dare reply. Not when it seems he's so close. He's afraid that if he does she'll only be moved rather. That maybe he won't ever reach her.

He quietly but makes his way around another of the many corners. He stops when he sees the scene in front of him. Her blood smeared along the floor of the room.

" Ellie." He says as he rushes forward. Only two meters away. He's taken from both sides. The mutants grabbing both his arms, swords clattering to the ground. He's shoved to the ground followed by loud cracks as his ribs, nose and arms break. One person kicks their knee into his spine as they hold his broken and dislocated arms crossed painfully behind his back while the other disarms him if all his weapons.

Ellie moves enough to look at her father who tries to struggle against the hold. Tries to fight against the monsters that had taken his child.

" Isn't this wonderful." Ajax says.

[ But he's dead.]

( The lake.)

[ We killed him.]

" You." Deadpool snaps, ignoring the searing pain coursing through his body. He's used to this. He can take it. He'll do anything to protect his child. He just never thought he'd have to worry about his man before.

" It's been long, Wade hasn't it?" The advanced human says with a smile.

" Let her go Francis. This has nothing to do with her. " Wade says to his old enemy, killer, torturer.

" Oh but it is. I've learned my lesson Deadpool. You don't die. "

Wade stares up at the man.

[ No ]

( He can't do that)

He tries to struggle against whoever was efficiently holding him down only he get a swift, hard kick from a steel toed boot in the face.

The Mercenary cries out, stoping his movements and cowering his well broken fave away from Ajax.

" Stop!" Ellie cries as Francis continues to beat her defenseless parent.

Ajax stills in his attack to look sideways at the tong girl. " How sweet. You love your father don't you? You want me to stop?"

Ellie hesitantly nods her head. She tries to move but only whines when her cut skin and broken leg shifts.

" No!" Wade yells at the man as his enemy walks away from him towards his daughter.

Francis doesn't hesitate before landing a hard blow to the child's unprotected stomach.

Absolute fury erupts from the man made mutant. He throws his weight sideways, loosing his captors grip. His healing factor snaps his arms right back into place along with the rest of his bones as he lunges forward. His enemy doesn't have time to seem supposed before he's in a death hold as Deadpool strangles him.

He Rams Ajax into a cement wall before slamming him down on the floor. Francis tries to kick the red clad man off but only partially succeeds before the other is already on top of him having pulled out a weapon. Before Wade can do anything with it a shrill scream makes him freeze to look at Ellie.

The other who had pinned Deadpool was standing over Ellie. One of Wade's dropped swords in hand and pushed through his child's side. He pulls the weapon out of her as Deadpool looks. Ellie's eyes shut just as her father had always told her to do if something of this ever happened.

[ Good Girl ]

The gun partially shoved down Ajax's throat is fired before the Mercenary leaps up with a yell of rage as he covers the short distance to the man. He takes his sword from the man's hands before cutting through the man's torso. The two halves of the body dripping to the ground.

A metallic clatter is heard as the swords  falls to the ground. Wade drops down to his dead child.

" No." He whispers as his hands hover over his small form. " No."

He pulls her up onto his lap. Her blood soaking into his suit.

" No!"
