Merc with a mouth

Peter and Deadpool have a...complicated relationship to say nonetheless.

The first time Peter heard of Deadpool was a week before the particle accelerator explosion and it was from the news.

The first time he and the merc with a mouth came face to face was when he was in Star City and he was with Oliver. The guy took down an entire warehouse full of men all while shouting; where's Francis?

Oliver shot an arrow into the guy's shoulder and he didn't even seem to care. They watched as he was shot several times and he kept fighting the men off as if nothing happened.

After that, Peter had the man webbed up for a good minute and he explained that he was hunting down someone who did him wrong and tried to kill him and turned him into a mutant.

-

Now, Peter and Miles were on the roof of the Spider Cave and are waiting for Deadpool to show up after Peter sent him a message as May was watching Frankie for the night.

"I have given this guy every chance to join the hero side but he'd rather act like a child." Peter informs Miles. "A heavily armed child."

"And what did you say they call him?" Miles asks him.

"Some call him the Man that never Dies, others the Merc with a Mouth, but the most common name for him is..." Peter was saying when their senses go off, indicating he's here. "Deadpool." He says and turns to see Deadpool himself lying across a air conditioner on the roof.

The man was carrying two katana swords and probably had more guns on him than anyone wants to count or even look.

"Flattery will get you nowhere, Spidey." Wade informs him as he does a backflip and joins them and sees Miles. "And you are...?" He asks him.

"Ultimate Spider-Man." Miles greets him, coldly with his arms crossed.

"Nice. An original name. Not!" Wade comments on the name. "So, what are you like his sidekick or something?"

"No, a trainee Spider-Man." Peter corrects him.

"Let me guess. Your friends left you behind on shit detail?" Wade asks them.

"What does that make you?" Miles asks him.

'Prenetnding you're here, Ultimate Spider-Man." Wade comments as he walks around the roof.

"Can we end this?" Miles asks Peter, getting sick of this guy already.

"Look, I'm a teenage Spider-Man. I'd rather be anywhere than here. I'm all about long sullen silences followed by a mean comment, followed by more silences. So what's it gonna be, huh? Long sullen silences...or mean comment? Go on." Wade says, getting up into Miles' face.

Miles thinks for a minute and sees he actually can't say anything.

"You put me in a corner here." Miles admits.

"Ah-ha!!" Wade cheers and faces Peter.

"What are you doing in my city, Wade?" Peter asks him.

"Let's see, the wheezing bag of dick-tips that did this to me is still out there. And his last known contact is here. So I need to find him before he leaves." Wade explains to him.

"And what did this guy do to you?" Miles asks him.

"This shit." Wade says and removes his mask and the two see his completely burned and messed up face. "You like what you see?"

"No." Miles admits. "Please put the mask back on." He begs of him.

"If you're doing this, I'm gonna help you." Peter tells him.

"What, Spider-Man and Deadpool teaming up? Sounds like a team up people have been waiting for the writer to do forever." Wade says and turns to the reader.

"What is he talking about?" Miles asks Peter.

"His sanity is kinda loosey-goosey. He talks to himself or to thin air a lot." Peter explains to Miles.

"Okay, fine. We do this together. But if you get in my way, I will put a bullet in your head and use the hole-" Peter quickly puts his hand over Wade's mouth to stop him from continuing.

"Language. There's a child present." Peter informs the man.

"You're no fun." Wade states and pulls his phone out. "Okay, here's the gist. His name is Agent Smith. He's either selling or flipping mutants and metahumans."

"Wait, selling?" Miles clarifies.

"Yeah, anyone with powers." Wade confirms to him. "They give people powers just to sell them. They give them their powers, fit them with control collars and then auction them off to anyone and for any reason."

"Metahuman trafficking." Peter realizes and this could be bigger than he first thought.

"And I already have a lead. Does the name Amunett Black mean anything to you?" Wade asks them.

That name does mean something to both of them for two different reasons.

"Of the underground black market?" Miles asks, remembering his father talks about her a lot.

"That woman constantly gets away whenever I'm close to getting her." Peter adds.

"Well, that's who Agent Smith is gonna be seeing about selling these mutants to." Wade explains and shows them a photo. "And this woman is in lead with her." He expains except she can't be...

"Caitlin?" Peter asks, seeing no one other than Caitlin Snow talking to Amunet in the photo. "When was that photo taken?"

"About yesterday." Wade tells him and now Peter knows where he's going.

-

Caitlin was in her apartment when a knock comes from her door and she opens it and sees the photo that Wade just showed Peter and Miles except it was printed out. Peter looked over her and sees she's at least no longer Killer Frost.

"Wanna explain this to me?" Peter asks her, keeping a professional look that he uses for his Parker Industries meetings.

"Where'd you get that?" Caitlin asks and snatches the photo from his hands. "Are you spying on me?"

"No, but the man who was would have killed you if I let him come here is." Peter informs her and Caitlin did see the news of the guy who took down the whole facility of armed men. "That's Amunet Black. And the man who took that photo knows you're working for her. A few months apart and you become a full time criminal?"

"It's not like that, Peter." Caitlin assures him. "You don't have to be concerned."

"She's selling metahumans and buying mutants. As a mutant, I'm concerned." Peter states.

"Look, Killer Frost was growing within me. The serum that Fox made did help, but I needed more. Amunett had the technology I needed that was stolen from Oscorp. But now I'm stuck as her muscle. Me and Frost have worked though some differences, and we now live together in peace in a way. When she is asleep, I'm in charge. When I'm asleep, she's in charge."

"I'm going to need to stop her, Caitlin. Don't try and warn Amunet, or anything like that or I will have to stop you." Peter warns her.

"You don't want to have to arrest me, huh?" Caitlin asks.

"No, I don't want Deadpool putting a bullet in your head." Peter expains to her. "Where do we find her?"

"A place downtown called The Horseshoe. She runs the place." Caitlin tells him. "But she's dangerous, Peter. She has deep pockets." She warns before turning and sees he's already gone.

"Please be careful." She begs to the open air.

-

Peter makes it back to the Spider Cave and sees Wade is still webbed to the wall.

"This is kinda kinky, don't you think?" Wade asks Peter.

"Let him go, Miles." Peter says and Miles uses the dissolver on the webbing. "I know where're to go. When is this Smith suppose to be there?" He asks.

"According to what I was able to find out, tomorrow." Wade tells him.

"Okay, that gives you two enough time to scope the place and see where to go and how to find him." Fox says from the computers.

"Partners?" Peter asks and holds his hand out to Deadpool.

"You bet we fucking are." Wade agrees and shakes his hand.

"Why is your hand sticky?" Peter asks him.

"You're not the only one who can shot webs." Wade explains and walks off.

"Fox, I need you to build me a replica of this suit, and burn this one." Peter tells Fox as he has a idea why it was sticky.

And he doesn't want to think about it.

-

The two enter the club without their costumes and Wade keeps a hood up so nobody sees his face since they would get a lot of looks from him and that's the last thing they need.

The club seems to have a nightlife party and bar on the side.

"How'd you know the woman in the photo?" Wade finally asks.

"She's an old girlfriend of mine." Peter tells him.

"You still love her, don't ya?" Wade can easily see. "That's why you didn't want me to go see her."

The one thing Peter knows about Deadpool is that the only reason he's doing this is because he wants to get the way he looked back before his mutation took affect. He wants to get back with his girlfriend, he's on a rampage throughout the world to find love again.

"Yeah, I love her more than anyone in my life." Peter admits as they search the bar for anything suspicious.

"What happened between the two of you?" Wade keeps asking him,

"She became an icy queen and tried her best to be cold and tried to kill me a few times." Peter tells him.

"So she's like us or metahuman?" Wade wonders.

"Like us. It's encoded into her DNA. We don't know how or why it's there. Nobody else in her family is like this." Peter explains as they look over the club.

"That guy over there, with the weird eye, you sense anything?" Wade calls out the guy across the room with a weird haircut and possibly a fake eye as his senses are alerting him of something.

"Yeah, he's dangerous." Peter agrees with him and senses aroun the door and hears voices. "There's another side of the warehouse. People are calling out numbers...they're bidding."

"We're in the right place then." Wade sees. "We have a plan?"

"One...seriously bad idea." Peter tells him.

"What does this plan need?" Wade asks.

"You're gonna love it, don't worry." Peter promises. "We need a mutant to sell. And we are two."

-

Wade has a helmet and cloth on to make him look like one of Ajax's men. Suddenly, Wade stops and enters the What If studio and slaps the writer.

"Excuse me, his name is Francis. Not Ajax!" Wade tells the author as he heads back and drags Peter who has a cloth covering his face to make him look like one of the auctioned metahumans.

"Oh, hello. Who are you?" Amunet asks as she walks up to Wade and Peter.

"This fucker put up a fight trying to escape, special present from the boss." Wade says and rips off the cloth and Peter had the idea to sell he was one of them, Wade gave him a beating and cut his cheek. He enjoyed doing it.

"Ooh, looks like he learned the hard way not to do that again." Amunett guesses. "What would he sell for?"

"He's got a shitload of powers; super strength, super healing, acrobatics, he can take a couple of hits more than most." Wade says.

"You will fetch a high price to me, I can promise that." Amunett says as one of the men drag him away.

Wade just leaves and gets himself ready for the next part of the plan. The reason they went with one of his men is because when Agent Smith shows up, he's not gonna have any idea who he is.

Peter was brought into one of their cells where he hears the whimpers and cries from the other metahumans and mutants. Some are old, some are children who just got their mutations. A number of ages and sexes.

By the time the doors opened, he was halfway healed.

"Leave us." Frost tells the guard and Peter looks up to face her. "Ouch." She comments on his condition.

"You should see the other guy." Peter quips.

"What are you doing here?" Frost asks him.

"Should ask the same to you." Peter replies. "I thought I made it clear nobody was going to leave here when I unleash the beast."

"What is your plan to get out?" Frost asks him.

"Classified information, Frost."

"You don't trust me?"

"I don't trust Amunet, who you work for."

"They're going to sell you just like all the others."

"So unless it's me, it's okay."

"You can't fight Amunet."

"I'm not going to. I have a mercenary on standby." Peter states when Amunet comes in.

"Caity. I see you met our newest seller. But...where he came from is another story." Amunett says looking to Peter.

"What do you mean?" Frost asks.

"We have someone who has no idea of who this man is." Amunett explains and then a few of her men drag Peter out and he meets Agent Smith.

"I've never seen this man before in my life." Smith tells Amunett.

"Which begs the question, what are you doing here?" Amunett asks.

"I have a friend that's been looking for you, Smith." Peter explains.

"And who would that be?" Smith asks.

Wade quickly whistles and the three of them turn to look up at the crates and see the one and only Deadpool.

"Nice to see you, Jared." Wade greets Smith. "I'll take the footlong...fully loaded." He says and Smith takes off and Wade throws a sword at Peter's handcuffs and they break off.

Peter gets up and punches Amunett and quickly tears his clothes off where his suit was hiding.

"I'll free the mutants and metas. You go get what you need." Peter tells Deadpool.

"See ya, Spidey." Wade says and runs around the place.

"Where's Francis?!" Wade asks as he starts shooting people while going down a staircase and kills them all.

Peter makes it to where they control the collars and doors then quickly destroys the systems.

Above, all of the doors start opening and the collars come off the powered individuals.

"Come on, don't you know a prison break when you see one?" Peter asks them.

-

"Where the fuck is Francis?!" Wade asks as he throws one of the people across the warehouse.

"No, please." The woman begs of him.

"Oh, god. I'm so sorry!" Wade apologizes when another woman comes up behind him and attacks him from behind.

"Oh, you little spider monkey!" Wade shouts as he throws her off of his back.

-

Peter was leading the powered people out when he runs into Amunett.

"Spider-Man." Amunet greets.

"Guys, we need a diversion." Peter says as Miles comes swinging in and kicks Amunet.

"Two Spider-Man's. I'll make a fortune off of both of you." Amunet promises as she calls a bunch of shards of metal to her and they create a gauntlet.

"A metahuman selling metahumans." Peter realizes and sees he needs to hold her back. "Get them out of here and come back."

"Follow me." Miles tells them and they start following him and Peter runs to Amunet and the two of the begin fighting.

-

"This is confusing." Wade says while gesturing to the two women. "Is it sexist to hit you? Is it more sexist to not hit you? I mean, the line gets...blurry." He states as he pulls his gun out to shoot the two.

-

Peter gets attacked by the shards and he quickly avoids them but gets hit by them as they come back to her.

"Looks like I have something to sell." Amunet states as she walks toward Peter only to be attacked by a mist of ice.

"Sorry, Amunett. But I already own the Spider already." Frost tells her.

"Frost? You betrayed me?" Amunett asks.

"No...I betrayed him." Frost states and helps Peter up. "Get up. You're not dead yet."

"No, I'm not." Peter agrees and the two get ready to fight Amunet.

"And by the way, the names not Killer Frost." Frost states.

"Really?" Peter asks.

"Then who are you?" Amunet asks.

Frost knows she can't go by Killer if she isn't going to be killing anyone and wants to be like Peter for people to actually like instead of fear. "Call me Crystal Frost." She says and then shoots a blast of mist at her.

-

Smith was running away from the warehouse when Wade comes in and slams him into a parked car.

"41 confirmed kills. Now it's 89, about to be 90." Wade states, knowing he will understand what he's talking about.

"Mr. Wilson?" Smith asks.

"Ding-ding." Wade answers.

"You're looking very alive." Smith comments.

"Ha! Only on the outside." Wade informs him.

"This is not going to end well for me, is it?" Smith asks.

"This is not gonna end well for you, no." Wade assures him. "Where's your boss?"

"I can tell you exactly..."

"Da-da-da-da-da-da-da." Wade says, shushing him. "Oh, you'll tell me, but first...there are no words to describe the gory for words, so..." he tells the reader.

-

Peter and Frost were able to work together to get Amunett and the shards separate before webbing her up.

"Cops are on their way." Miles warns them as he comes back from helping the metas and mutants get to the police.

"Great, then let's get out of here." Peter says and looks to Crystal. "You trust me?" He asks and holds his hand out with a web exiting the building.

Crystal turns back into Caitlin and wraps her arms around his neck.

"I told you I'd find my journey back to you." Caitlin says and lifts his mask enough to kiss him as they escaped just in time for the police to come in and they see a note attached with everything else.

From your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and Crystal Frost

What they didn't notice was Amunet was able to escape at the last second.

-

Peter keeps swinging while kissing Caitlin until they land on a roof and Peter pulls his mask off completely.

"I've missed you so much these past few months." Peter admits, not breaking the kiss.

"Just shut up and keep kissing me." Caitlin tells him.

"Uuugh." The voice of Wade interrupts them and they break apart to see he's here. "You two look like two seals fighting over a grape."

"Didn't you get the information you needed?" Peter asks him.

"Yeah, I got what I needed." Wade tells him. "You thought I wasn't gonna say goodbye? That's hurtful."

"Get lost, dead brains." Peter quips.

"I was here first. Get your own roof to make out on." Wade states.

"You two know each other?" Caitlin asks.

"Sorry. Caitlin, this is Deadpool. Wade Wilson. Wade, this is..."

"I'm his girlfriend." Caitlin interrupts and shakes his hand.

"Well, I've gotta get going. I've got to go find Francis. You haven't seen the last of me, Spider. I can promise you that." Wade says as he walks and drops off the roof.

The two just stand there when they hear a crash and Wade screaming.

"Is he okay?" Caitlin asks.

"No. He has never been okay." Peter assures her and she chuckles and the two start to kiss once again.

"Take me home, Spider-Man." Caitlin asks of him.

-

Peter somehow got both he and Caitlin back to his apartment without collapsing.

He was exhausted, emotionally and physically. He hadn't slept much the past few months, worried about Caitlin. And dealing with Wade, metahuman trafficking, and patching things up with Caitlin didn't help with the tiredness.

But now, they both collapsed onto the couch, curling into each other instinctively.

Caitlin let out a long sigh, her head slipping onto Peter's shoulder as she shut her eyes. "I missed this couch."

"Oh?" Peter huffed, mock-offended. "The couch all you missed?"

"No..." Caitlin murmured, grinning at him. "I missed the table, too. And your shoulder."

"Oh, I see how it is," Peter said teasingly. He shoved her lightly over and hovered himself over her, kissing her nose. "You didn't miss this face?"

"Mmm..." Caitlin scrunched up her face as if considering it. She was considering it for so long that Peter got bored and passionately kissed her.

"Yes, yes, okay," Caitlin laughed, breathless as he pulled away. "I missed you, too."

"Love you," Peter whispered, kissing her again. Then he said it three more times, just for good measure.

She was just starting to sit up so he wouldn't squish her when she looks and sees school supplies that belong to Frankie.

"Peter is there something that you forgot to tell me?" Caitlin asks gesturing to the items.

Peter looks and sees it's time she knows. "You remember Frankie?"

"Magenta? Yeah." Caitlin answers when she understands why he brought her up. "You adopted her, didn't you?"

"Yeah. You okay with that?" Peter asks and Caitlin smiles and kisses him.

"I can easily love that kid as much as you." Caitlin promises when there was a terrific crack outside and the lights flickered and Caitlin frowned. "What was that?"

Peter shook his head, unsure, and they got to their feet as the entire apartment began to shake and Peter grabbed Caitlin's hand on impulse.

They both turned as the window and they see...a flying samurai?

"Stay here, I'll be back." Peter promises and rips his clothes he just put back on to reveal his suit.
