Chapter 29
There were a few places Wade had as it turns out. The least infested and closest for all of them to meet was in a ridiculously high class apartment upstate. It was half inhabited by drugged out celebrities most of whom were passed out around the place. Wade had to clear out a room for them to use. It worked as an office.
"Is that a-"
"Nope," Wade shouted ripping the couch cushions away. Sam made an unamused sound finding a safe spot to lean against the wall away from the Merc. Clint was sat on the desk keeping a careful eye on him.
"Have you guys seen Steve," Peter asked anxiously glancing at phone.
"It's gonna take a second for him to get here. It takes forever to wake him up," Sam muttered.
"Really? He always gets up early at the tower-"
"Not Steve. His boyfriend," the winged hero said sarcastically. Just as Peter was about to ask the door opened. Steve walked in dressed in his usual civilian attire with a baseball cap resting low enough to hide his face. Next to him was a shorter man, dressed similarly but with a hood on.
"Sorry we're late guys. Sam, Clint," he greeted. "Peter, Wade this my childhood friend from Brooklyn." He gestured to the man who only shrunk himself further into the shadows. Steve nudged him with an elbow prompting him to speak.
With a disgruntled sigh he pulled his hood back enough to show his face, "'m Bucky."
"Peter, nice to meet you," the youngest said with a wave.
"Have you discussed a plan yet," Steve asked taking a seat on an armchair. Bucky stood next to him like a bodyguard.
"We were waiting for you to get here first," Peter explained as Wade opened a duffle bag. He set a blueprint out on the desk. It was covered in marks and little notes that both he and Peter thought were important.
"This is all Fury would cough up so we'll have to make do," Wade announced rubbing his hands together. "There's openings here and here, ones a back entrance ones an airduct. We want to get into this room. It's going to have all the information we need."
"Who's in charge of the base," Sam asked.
"We don't know yet," Peter admitted. "We aren't planning on finding out. We just need the information on their other locations."
"And how far they are with the no healing serum," Wade added. "They could have already made one so this is gonna be ballsy. If you want out at any time just say so."
"Maybe you should sit this out Peter," Steve started but the hero was already shaking his head.
"No way. I started this, I'm going to end it."
The rest of them gave the younger hesitant glanced before Wade changed the topic. "I have a general idea or how the place is set up. It's gonna be a lot easier getting in then getting out."
"I made these yesterday," Peter said holding up a few devices similar to sd cards. "They'll hack into their system and take any information stored in their mainframe."
"So how do we get in," Sam asked stepping up to the blueprint keeping a good distance between him and Wade.
"There's A few ways to sneak in but these vents here would be our best bet," Wade pointed to the red circle. He went into a few plans he and Peter had contemplated. Everyone listened carefully though they would shoot each other glances whenever Wade said something that hinted at his old work. Peter would quickly assure everyone that Wade would work with their rules.
"I'm just saying," the Merc stressed. "If shit does hit the fan you should stand at least 500 feet away from the entire building."
"Wade," Peter nearly begged passing him an 'stfu' face.
"What if one of us gets hit with the serum," Sam asked. "My healing factor super powered."
"Bruce and I have been testing it out," Peter admitted. "Nothing will change for you but if we're to hit someone who does have an altered healing factor it'll be weakened."
"Permanently," Bucky asked from the far end of the room. He'd wandered to one corner of the room at some point giving him a few view of the area.
"I don't know yet. That's why we need to get this information," the youngest glanced around. "What do you guys think? Can you help us?"
They all glanced between each other again. Peter stepped closer to Wade as they did. The Merc placed a gentle hand on Peter's back, rubbing his thumb in a relaxing pattern to ease the hero. It worked.
Finally Steve stood with a nod. "I'm in."
"M too," Bucky muttered returning to the blonde's side.
Sam sighed, "I guess that means I am too."
"Why not," Clint shrugged with a smirk.
Wade and Peter looked to each other and simultaneously grinned.
