Wade Wilson was in a dark place in his life. How dark? Well, his mortal enemy, Francis Freeman, AKA Ajax, came back from the dead. How? Nobody knows. But then again, nobody stays dead unless you're Uncle Ben. The same can't be said about Vanessa Carlysle. That's right, Ajax killed the love of Wade's life. So Wade was not happy. He was determined to find Ajax and murder him in more ways than one. For fear of losing those close to him, he severed ties with Weasel and Blind Al. And the hunt for Ajax began. 

Meanwhile, in Gotham, Jason Todd, AKA the Red Hood, was out drinking a fine scotch. It felt quiet. Too quiet these last few weeks for Jason. Aside from the regular rogues, there were no scumbags for Jason to take his anger out on. One could say, hey, boring is always better, but this is Jason Todd we're talking about here. Boring ain't his style. As he was drinking, he heard a deep Russian voice say, "Pardon me, but are you the one they call Jason Todd, ally to the Batman?" Jason turned his head and saw the Russian voice that it belonged to. He was a 7 foot giant with steel like silver skin in a tight costume with an X on his  belt buckle. This was the mutant X-Man Piotr "Peter" Rasputin, AKA Colossus.

Jason looked at the Russian Mutant, then at the scotch he was drinking, wondering what the hell he was drinking. He then said, "I'm not usually Batman's ally. Unless he's desperate for help. Which is rare to none. Who the hell are you?" He was questioning his own sanity. "I am Colossus, of the X-Men," replied the mutant. "X-Men?" asked Jason, "You guys some fucked up porno group or something?" Colossus shook his head and sighed, "No, we are not porno. We are a team of heroes who intend to protect both mutant kind and mankind." Jason rolled his eyes and said, "Great, yet another team of namby pamby goody two-shoes superheroes. Fuckin' aye."

"Thankfully there are no children to hear such foul language from you Mr. Todd," scolded Colossus, "but I must ask, where is the Batman?" Jason shrugged and said, "For all I know, he might be screwing Catwoman. Or Wonder Woman. Or Batgirl." Colossus looked offended by Jason's perverted mind. "I'm kidding on the last one," said Jason, "but seriously, I don't know where the hell he is. What the fuck do you want, Colossus?" Colossus then got out a picture of Deadpool and said, "This is Wade Wilson, otherwise known as Deadpool. He has a healing factor very similar to Wolverine's. And while Logan is usually justified in his killing, Deadpool abuses his powers for his own personal gain. And this time, he has gone too far. He is on a murdering rampage that has led here." Jason looked at the photo, unflattered that this Deathstroke ripoff would rip off his Red Hood helmet. As he listened to what Colossus had to say, it suddenly explained why Jason hadn't been seeing many rapists or murderers lately. Deadpool had been beating him to it. "Go on," said Jason, who was now interested in what the X-Man had to say. 

"Recently, he has harmed Dr. Kirk Langstrom," said Colossus as he then showed Jason a video of Deadpool savagely beating up Dr. Langstrom in his Man-Bat form. Deadpool constantly yelled, "WHERE'S FRANCIS?!?!?!?!?!?" And every time he yelled it, Man-Bat would screech in pain, causing Deadpool to even taunt, "ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! WHERE THE FUCK IS FRANCIS?!?!?!?!?!?" Jason cringed. He may not have liked Man-Bat, but damn, was that brutal. "Since I cannot find Batman to help me, would you be willing to help me find Deadpool?" asked Colossus. "What's in it for me?" asked Jason. Colossus thought for a minute, then said, "I know some good Russian vodka. Help me, and I will buy you drink." Jason then put on his Red Hood helmet and said, "Where's that motherfucker at?"
