MCA #10, Friday Afternoon

[mouthy_merc]

There was an America's Next Top Model marathon on the TV, but Deadpool wasn't paying it any attention. There was an overly affectionate kitten in his lap, and he was only petting it distractedly, ignoring the other kitten who was attempting to gnaw is ankle off.

He was just... waiting.

Quietly.

Patiently.

This could not bode well.

Aly leaned against the door to her apartment for a moment, too tired to keep walking, but not wanting to stand out in the hallway for someone to notice. She pushed the door open, not even noticing that the television was on and walked inside.

"I'd like to think we're all worth it..."

There was -- perhaps -- a quick glimpse of Nate, squatted on the couch, arms crossed and looking at Wade with a sympathetic expression.

But he faded again, just as quick.

[tricksy_spy]

Aly stared at him. "You're going to decide who's worth it or not now?" she asked, her own voice rising in volume. "You're wrong, Wade. Completely wrong. You're pissed I'm hurt, but you don't get to decide who I put myself out there for."

[mouthy_merc]

The anger dissipated suddenly as Nate's -- (NOT Nate. He's dead, damn it.)-- words took effect.

"You're hurt, Aly," He said in a softer tone. "I'm fine with getting hurt so you all don't have to be, I just... This is worse, okay?"

[tricksy_spy]

She reached out to brush her hand over his arm. "It's worse for me to see you there and thinking you were dead."

[mouthy_merc]

Which calmed him as much as Nate's words from before.

"No more solo shit for anyone, okay? We get our asses kicked, we do it together."

[tricksy_spy]

Aly smiled at that. "Damn straight. Which means you and Arashi better be there cause Anakin and I might have a plan."

[mouthy_merc]

Wade shifted, slightly uncomfortable at the mention of Arashi. "When?"

[tricksy_spy]

"Tonight. At J,GOB. Then tomorrow for the attack, I think. No point in waiting any longer."

She looked up, worry in her eyes. "What's wrong with Arashi?"

[mouthy_merc]

"Oooo! Pastries and tactics, good choice." He did love donuts so.

"Nothing's wrong with him," Deadpool replied, a touch defensively.

[tricksy_spy]

"Also we can keep the squirrels away," Aly grinned. She raised an eyebrow. "Are you guys still fighting?"

[mouthy_merc]

"Nooo." That might be a pout. "I just happen to enjoy sleeping on the couch recently."

[tricksy_spy]

"Because you're still pissed that he went to see Umbridge?" Aly...was totally confused.

[mouthy_merc]

Wade looked off. Hey, was that a bug? "The... Nate... thing."

[tricksy_spy]

"...Oh."

That was bad.

"Did you explain the note?"

[mouthy_merc]

"Haven't really talked much since Wednesday," Wade admitted, still avoiding eye contact.

"'sides, don't even know if that's not just me having another nervous breakdown. They come and go."
