Lunch Date
The Avengers weren't too pleased to hear that they had to talk to Deadpool outside the tower. Peter figured as such and asked Wade to make a file for them. Just so that the meeting would be as short as possible in case things were to escalate. It was more like a chance for Wade to prove to the Avengers that he was honestly trying to do the right thing. Eventually they agreed that a couple of them would go out to meet Deadpool at a dinner a few blocks from the tower. Undercover of course. They were still unsure of anyone watching them. They hadn't found anything yet.
Peter had set a time the next days after school Natasha, Steve, and Peter would meet. Steve and Natasha were dressed in casual clothes. Steve wore a baseball cap and Natasha had her hood on low. Peter wore a hood over his mask. He had his face low so no one would stare too much. He wore some new clothes Tony had stocked in the closet hoping Deadpool didn't recognize him. They sat in a secluded corner booth. Natasha and Steve on one side and Peter on the other.
Peter had his back to the wall hidden from most people. Natasha was the one to notice the tall hooded man, "12 o'clock." Her cold tone only worked to make Peter even more nervous. The youngest looked over his shoulder at the man who had his shoulders hunched in. He wore a baseball cap under his hood and a pair of leather gloves. Peter lifted his hand, getting the man's attention. He took long quick strides to them and sliding in next to Peter. He set a red folder covered in drawings down on the table.
"Hey Spidey, Captain, Mama Arachnid." Natasha raised an amused brow. "This is all I got so far on Weapon X and Hydra's collab. I set them back a bit for uh...well you'll read about it." Peter could only imagine the mess that was in that file.
"Thank you for this," Steve said taking the folder. "We appreciate it Deadpool."
"Anytime. But uh, I want to help take them down."
Natasha and Steve glanced at each other, then to Peter who shrugged. "He's the one who got us the leads," he reminded.
"And we're very thankful but due to your...previous work it could make things difficult."
"I'm just asking for a one time thing we don't have to put a name on it," Wade shrugged. Peter used his hand to cover his eyes as if embarassed.
"...right. But if the public should find out and disagree it could cause a lot of touble for the Avengers."
"I just want to join in when you enter the facility or whever set up they have."
"Does that mean you'll stop chasing leads after this," the redheaded woman asked leaning back.
"Uhhhh. Ummm," Peter smacked Wade's arm to try to get him to answer. "I'm not going to say I'll stop but no one will be able to tie me to anything."
"SHIELD will be given this information. If you continue to investigate there is a chance you will run into each other." A waiter came by to deliver two cups of coffee and an ice tea. Peter took one of the mugs and the waiter asked Deadpool if he wanted anything. He was about to decline when a glass of strawberry milk was set in front of him.
"Deadpool," Sarah greeted with a smile. "Almost didn't recognize you in those clothes! I'll take it from here Gabe." The waiter seemed relieved to be let go and quickly made his way back to the counter. "You partnering up with the Avengers now? Hey Spiderman."
"Hi Sarah," Peter greeted, his own smile visible now that he lifted the mask.
"They don't want to partner up with me," Deadpool muttered holding the glass in one hand.
"Aw why not? Deadpool's super strong and he's a really nice guy. He's got a heart bigger then his mouth," Sarah said facing Natasha and Steve.
"You flatter me," Wade said fanning his face.
"You saved my life the least I can do is bump up your street cred," she giggled taking out a notepad. "Can I get you guys anything to eat?"
"We're good," Peter dismissed still smiling. He had secretly set this up, hoping that Sarah would be able to convince them that Deadpool was a changed man. It seemed to be working because the two across from him were giving Wade questioning glances.
"Alright, you know who to call. It was nice to meet you Captain, Widow," she waved as she walked away.
"What was that about," Natasha asked.
Deadpool glanced at Peter who motioned for him to explain. He was far less animated and left out the gory details when he told the story of how he save Sarah this time. But Peter had felt the same pride as the first time he heard it watching the other two react. Steve was the first to speak afterwards, "We'll talk to Fury and Tony about it."
"I'll give you my number," Peter waited for the merc to open his phone before giving him the number. It was what Tony called a 'company phone.' It was nicer then the one he owned but he refused to use it for anything other then business.
"Working a case with the bae, another line on the list."
"I'm starting to think this list is fake and you're just making stuff up," the younger muttered.
"List," Widow asked.
"Just Deadpool being weird," Peter dismissed. "I'll let you know what they decide. Until then you should keep a low profile," he said to the other masked man.
"Are we still going to patrol together?"
He shrugged, "I don't see why not." Deadpool pumped his fist with a cheer. They decided to end the meeting there. Natasha and Steve were the first out the door while Peter hung back to check in with the mercenary. "You okay?"
"A little starstruck but I'm good. What about you? Didn't you say they broke into your apartment?"
"Yeah I'm staying at Stark Tower for now."
"Good luck with that," he scoffed. They walked outside together just a few steps behind the other two. "Did you decide to meet here for a reason," he teased.
"Maybe," Peter said tilting his head away. "Thanks again for meeting up with us Deadpool. It, uh, means a lot to me."
The merc squealed throwing his arms around Peter. "Aw you're the cutest! Anything for you Spiderlad!"
Peter was glad for the mask so that no one would see his blush. "I told you not to call me that." Just then Deadpool's phone went off, he looked at it with an annoyed groan.
"Sorry Spiderbabe I gotta job. Call me," he waved over his shoulder going the opposite way. Peter watched after him for a second then caught up with the others. They said nothing about his relationship with Deadpool and he hoped they kept it that way.
