Who's Team are You On?
" Peter, you are being understandably rational about all this. Still I can't help but feel as though you are giving up. "
Peter ran a hand through his hair and shrugged. " I guess honestly it's just been a long time coming and I accept it."
Matt smirked ," You know I think that is the most honest you have been with me lately. "
Peter blushed and chuckled. " Well I was fooling myself if I thought I could still afford this place on what J.J. pays me ."
" Still I can't believe you're moving out. Foggy and I are gonna miss seeing you around here. Or in my case, hearing you. Where will you go from here?" Matt asked smoothly changing the topic.
" AVENGERS Tower -- " Peter facepalmed realizing his mistake.
Matt still had his normal cool smile," How'd you pull that off its no wonder you're so calm about all this."
" Oh well you see I worked out an internship with Mr. Stark a while back and it seems he's okay with continuing it. The tower is just . . one of those perks. " Gosh Peter just had such a big mouth sometimes.
"Well in that case I don't think I will try and pressure you to stay. Chances like these don't come around too often and it sounds like you are going to be in good hands now."
Peter cringed when he realised just how smothered he was going to feel again. " Yeah ... well … yeah ... Hey Matt I gotta fly, I am meeting up with a friend for lunch ."
Matt waved Peter off, " Always busy meeting someone or doing something. Thought we agreed you would get more rest."
" Yeah well turns out life won't cut me some slack. Chat later Matt." Peter yelled over his shoulder as he ran down the hallway.
When Peter was well out of site Matt frowned and pulled out his cell and was about to dial but. suddenly stopped. " You are quite adept at what you do but, nothing can conceal the beat of your heart.. Natasha."
" It wasn't you that I was hiding from... " Nat replied as she dropped in front of him from the ventilation system. " Be glad for that or you never would have seen me coming... "
Matt crossed his arms, " What are you doing here Widow?"
" I wanted to get your assessment personally."
" You put me in a situation when you show up like this." Matt said drawing along the conversation.
Nat smirked," Don't worry he won't be back for a while. I made sure of that. "
Matt glanced down the hallway and sighed before caving. " Alright, what do you need to know. "
" I need to know if you noticed any irregularities in his heart. Not the normal stuff I mean something truly concerning. The kind of thing only you might notice ."
Matt seemed shaken by the question and he knew Widow would notice if he held back. " I guess Tony isn't as well versed on Pete's condition as you led me to believe. "
Natasha said nothing and waited for the requested information.
" Peter has multiple moments throughout the night and day where he has stutters in his heart beat consistent with what sounds to me like micro heart attacks. They only last a second or two but the pain is enough to knock the wind out of him. "
Nat turned with a flat toned "Thanks." Before she could leave Matt grabbed her by the wrist. She turned to him and calmly said" If you want to be able to continue reading brail with that hand you would be much wiser about who you grab with it."
Matt glared," I'm not a spy. I need to know if any of this is actually helping him."
Nat snatched her wrist from him. " You really want to help Peter? " Matt gave her a stern look of determination. " I know what you can do and honestly ... I think you might just be the key to one of our problems. " " What problem can Peter possibly cause in this condition ?" Nat smirked " His choice in friends." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wade sighed staring at the ceiling of his tattered apartment. " Do you guys think that our pizza is running a bit later than usual?"
(What?)
[We didn't order any food.]
"We didn't?"
(Seems like a good idea though. We should get food.)
Wade pulled his cell phone out of between the couch cushions he was laying on and looked at the home screen. The screen showed a pic of him free falling off a building and Spidey is right behind him ready to save the day .
(Awe weak dude, still no meet up locations with Webs.)
[So much for Super Bro detail.]
"Relax guys, he'll contact us when he's good and healthy."
[Ready.]
"Huh?"
(Ready for what?)
[ When he's good and 'ready'.]
"Yeah, what'd I say?" Suddenly the merc heard his window slide open and his heart skipped a beat. "Webs!"
" No Deadpool ... sorry to disappoint. " Daredevil replied with a smirk.
Wade's eyes widen, " Been a while since you last beat me senseless, what'd I do to warrent a visit from you of all super dummies? "
" Spider-man " Daredevil replied.
Wade sat up right on the couch. "Great! Just what I need another Super Hero telling me who I can and can't hang with. Well guess what?! I --"
" I want to join your team. "
Deadpool stared quietly at Daredevil , before mumbling to himself. " Dude ... did he?"
[( Team Red! )]
" Hate to be the one to tell ya this DD , but there is no team here. Just me, myself and I." Deadpool finally responded.
" I can tell you what the Avenger's don't want you to know Wade. I can tell you what's wrong with Spider-man."
" What? Are you #@*$ing serious? Does everyone know?" Yelled the merc.
" Wade! " Daredevil yelled. " Focus, this is serious."
The merc sighed and turned away from Daredevil. " You think I don't know that?" Wade muttered under his breath. " How do you even know Spidey will show?"
" Because I have been close enough to monitor his condition. He's coming as we speak. Do we have a deal?" Matt asked hearing Spider-man's web strike the building.
Wade shrugged and turned back to face Daredevil. " You're sure you can keep up with us?" And they both smirked at the same time.
