With a glance over his shoulder, Peter slips the chip into the code box outside of Wade's cell.
"Petey, what the hell are you doing?"
Peter looks up as he plugs a thin cord into the top of the code box and then links it to what looks like an old Game Boy. "I need out of here, and I need you to help me."
"Why me?"
"You know more about hiding than I do." Is all Peter says as he presses a few buttons and pulls both triggers at the same time. There's a small hissing noise and then the cell opens.
Wade slips out the door and Peter stuffs his equipment back into his bag. After making sure the cell is closed again, the pair slips farther down the hallway and into another room. Peter clicks the light on and Wade finds his confiscated things. He begins stuffing his suit into his backpack, along with a couple other weapons. Peter makes his way through another door into a separate storage room and stuffs a couple of canned meals, along with old military rations into his bag.
He steals a can opener and a couple of bottles of water and slips them into his bag alongside his suit. He lets his eyes glance once more around the room before meeting back up with Wade out in the hallway. Wade's changed into jeans and a slightly oversized hoodie. Somehow Peter knows he has at least two knives and three guns hidden on his person, not including whatever's in the bag. Wade pulls his cap on to hide his face and gives Peter a nod.
Now it's up to Peter to lead them out.

Though Peter had lived in New York for such a long time, he's rarely ever left it. Aunt May had to work, so she couldn't really take him places, and Mr. Stark hasn't taken him anywhere at all. He's been on one mission out of the country, and Steve made it clear that they weren't doing any sight-seeing on that trip. So it was nice to be with Wade and see all the sights as the rode the bus out of New York.
Peter ended up falling asleep with his head on Wade's shoulder, and when he woke, Wade had carried him and their things off of the bus. He asked Wade why he didn't just wake him and make him walk, and Wade said he'd rather carry him than interrupt whatever sleep he was managing to get.
They walked for a little while along the coast before Peter finally asked WHERE they'd gone. Wade just smiles and says that he'll see soon enough.
They come upon a dock and Wade talks to a man for a few minutes before ushering Peter onto a small boat. Peter can't help but smile as he sits down and watches the seagulls fly overhead.
The man that Wade spoke to starts driving the boat towards an island in the middle of the water, and that's when Wade finally breaks the silence. "Casco Bay. Just off the coast of Maine."
Peter doesn't say anything, he knows he doesn't have to.
"There's a little cabin hidden pretty far into the woods, so I hope you're okay for a hike."
Peter nods and smiles up at Wade, who blushes.

On the island, the pair hike through the woods. The sun is setting and Peter is a little upset that they didn't get to watch it, but Wade promises him that before they leave they'll see both the sunrise and sunset together, and it makes Peter smile.
The hike is long. It takes them a little over four hours to reach the cabin and by then they're both tired again. There's exactly one bedroom in the cabin, with one small bed, and Wade says he'll sleep on the couch, but Peter protests.
"You can sleep in the bed just... Stay on your side."
They lay together in the bed and Peter puts a pillow between them to make sure they stay on their respective sides of the bed... If by morning the pillow is discarded on the floor and the pair are curled up together, well, nobody needs to know.
