Part 4
Wade and Logan looked to each other. "Well I dunno about you honeybadger but I'm kinda bored," Wade said getting ready to get his katanas.
"Yeah, kinda wanna get my claws dirty bub," Logan said letting his claws come out slowly to build the tension.
That seemed to snap everyone to attention and for a while there was a flurry of bullets and blades. Peterson and his men really didn't stand a chance. It was kinda pathetic really.
Steven puffed back into existence with a knife, he'd taken the time to change into some comfier clothes. "Oh... Dang it. Missed my chance." He huffed and threw the knife at the pile of bodies.
"Yeah no offence kid but you don't strike me as much of a fighter," Logan said using one of the guards jackets to wipe the blood from his face.
"None taken. I've never been in a fight," Steven replied starting to pick up the gems he'd discarded in his haste to find the key. "Yeah I couldn't give a shit what happens to this crap. Do whatever," he said dumping the boxes on the desk, "and thanks. It's great to finally be free."
"Yeah no worries. I'm assuming that chain was some sort of mutation muting thing?" Wade hypothesised, "couldn't do your 'puff the magic dragon' shtick with it on."
"Pretty much."
Logan started picking up the paperwork that had been discarded in the search for the key and had a look. "Yeah, pretty much what I thought. Still tied up with Weapon X shit," he grumbled.
"Shouldn't we be bagging this shit and spliting? I don't want to be here when the cops get here. I kinda don't have a legal identity." Steven chimed out holding a duffle bag out to be filled with the paperwork and loot. He was surrounded by blue smoke.
"Yeah good point," Wade said stuffing the bag full.
Once the bag was full Steven once again puffed out of existence only to reappear seconds later without the bag.
"Ok where the fuck did you put the shit?" Logan growled.
"I took it to yours. I think I can take you guys too but one at a time." He hurried out hoping not to become a kebab. Wade shrugged and grabbed Steven's shoulder.
"Wait!" Logan said moments too late. He didn't like watching his lover disappear in a puff of smoke. Moments later Steven was back for him.
"Ok you might wanna brace yourself, Wade puked when we got there," Steven told Logan while reaching for his hand. Moments later Logan was also puking in the toilet.
"Here. Shouldn't take too long for it to wear off," Steven handed him a cup of water.

"So how'd you get the chain?" Wade had asked which led them all down a rabbit hole of death sentence diagnoses and promises of superheroism. Turns out they'd been tortured by Ajax, Francis as Steven had recently found out to his amusement, at the same time.
"They couldn't turn me into a weapon so they sold me."
