Again with the Kidnapping.

May 31, 2011 20:17

Chloe opens her eyes, groaning and rubbing the back of her head. Slowly, she registers the room around her and the pounding in her head begins to make sense. Somewhat, anyway. She must have been hit with something while she was snooping. Unfortunately, this doesn’t look like the facility she was investigating tonight - or was that last ( Read more... )

An Indeterminate (At Least for Chloe) Time Later. watchtowerchloe June 4 2011, 06:54:27 UTC

What feels like days later, although is probably only hours, Chloe has searched the room three times. Top to bottom, every nook and cranny. The second and third time were basically unnecessary, but sitting here and doing nothing is just not something she can do.

Instead, Chloe spends the time mentally going over the information she uncovered and adding what (little) she’s learning from her captivity to it. This place seems like some sort of prison (this room certainly brings to mind a jail cell), but it could be a barracks for Allen’s metahuman recruits. Honestly, Chloe isn’t sure which is worse. Either it’s where the nefarious Mr. Smithson keeps those he wants to silence or it’s home to metahumans with a grudge against non-powered folks. Permanently silenced (after likely being interrogated - tortured - to discover what she knows) or - Actually, the intended outcome is probably the same in either situation. Me, dead. I need to find a way out of here. Now.Chloe hears the sound of the lock turning and her adrenaline spikes once more ( ... )

The door swings wide open as a man wearing a red and black suit rushes into the room. His face is similarly masked and at his side are two identical katanas which are bound against his leg with a black cord for each. OF course, the man is Wade Wilson (Wade, not Slade dammit, PAY ATTENTION!), otherwise known as Deadpool. He strolls, no!, struts into the room with swagger as he takes a look around ( ... )

Okay. Crazy man with a couple of swords is...trying to feed her. Or poison her. Chloe is mentally calculating the odds that he's been sent in here to interrogate and/or maim and/or kill her while he babbles. Wait, did he just insult me with the thin quip?

"I'm Chloe. Chloe Sullivan and no, thank you. I'm not hungry." As if to prove her a liar, her stomach growls again at that exact moment. How long has it been since she's eaten? God, that food smells good! "Who are you?" she demands. Her nerves are shot and her friends must be trying to save her by now and she will not be killed by some crazy guy in a mask. "If you're here to take me out, you should know you'd be making a big mistake. A huge mistake, actually. My friends will come for me and there will be Hell to pay - not to mention the fact that I promise to come back and be the most irritating ghost ever to walk this Earth."

"Well Veronica, my name's Wade. I hope you'll pardon the mask, but I have a really bad patch of psoriasis right now."

To accentuate it, Deadpool scratches the side of his masked face.

"I'm not sure why taking you out would be a terrible mistake, I hardly know you. I mean, I suppose we could go out on a date, but if you're a terrible mistake, then maybe I don't want to take you to see Kung Fu Panda 2."

Deadpool turns and slowly... very S L O W L Y... walks over to the door. He stops at the door with his head down and his body slouched into a sulk and turns to look at Chloe.

"It's a shame you don't have a twin sister, Veronica. I thought we were going to be BFF's forever."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Chloe, movements not even remotely slow, rushes to the door and pushes Wade away from it. She leans her back against it and looks up at the masked man. Chloe has no idea who this guy is, but the last thing she wants is to get locked back in here. "Lovely to meet you, Wade. Or, it would be if you could actually call me by my name. Which is Chloe, not Veronica. I'm sorry to hear about your psoriasis but I the mask doesn't bother me. I really didn't think you were interested in dating me as much as I worried you were going to kill me. Try to, anyway ( ... )

Wade turns back to Chloe, still very S L O W L Y, his head rotating maybe an inch for every six seconds. Naturally... it takes him quite a while to actually turn his head completely towards her.

"Ah, sorry about that Chloe. You and Veronica look just alike. You know, I have a little bit of a crush on her. I wish I was Jason Segel and she saw my weiner in Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

Wade scratches his armpit and then lifts up his arm, sniffs under his armpit for a moment before lowering his arm.

"Being a superhero is a sweaty job when you wear spandex. I was just making sure I wasn't stinking in front of a beautiful woman."

If you could see behind the mask, you would see that Deadpool is wiggling his eyebrows Magnum P.I. style.

"But hey, I wasn't trying to kill you! I could never kill someone who was an internet star with the Chloe Chronicles! And I do still have that burger! It's over there in that bag."

Wade's mask crinkles up as he smiles and points over at the bag sitting over on the chair.

If Wade turned any slower, Chloe might have just made a run for it. "We don't look that much alike. I mean, the world is full of petite, snarky blondes. How do you know Veronica, anyway? I'll be sure to tell her she has a fan out there."

To be fair, three quarters (understatement) of what he has said since walking into the room hasn't made sense. Still, though... "Chloe Chronicles? You know what, never mind. Not important. It's always great to meet another superhero! You should, uh, look me up one of these days and we'll talk shop. I'll see if V can join us, too. You know, I'm feeling kind of dizzy. I think I'm going to just plop down right here for a second. Can you get the bag for me?"

"I don't actually know Veronica, I'm just a big fan of television."

Wade walks over and grabs the chair and the bag. He places the chair next to Chloe and as she sits, he hands her the bag.

"Y'know... I think I might even have a soda somewhere."

Wade busts out the magic satchel and begins to rummage through it, by cramming his hand deep into the satchel.. in fact.. his entire arm goes into it.

Wade pulls his arm out and in his hand is a Deadpool action figure, he tosses it to the ground and reaches back inside. His arm moves around a bit and when he withdraws it, his hand is a HEROES - the complete series DVD boxset.

"Damn shame about Elle."

Wade also tosses this to the floor and goes in for another try. He pulls his arm out again, and this time, in his hand is a giant SLUSHO fountain drink... 66 oz cup. He also hands it over to Chloe.

"There we go! I knew I'd find it."

...Well, that didn't work out very well at all. He's a damned mother hen. Under normal circumstances, a very admirable thing. Right now? Not so much. She has no idea what television has to do with Veronica and she is completely bewildered by the satchel Wade keeps pulling things out of.

"How did you - did you just - is that an action figure of you? Look, Wade. You're really very nice and all, but - oh. Er, thanks." She takes the drink from him, offering him a because she's at a complete loss as to what else to do. Chloe stands up, handing the soda and brown bag back to him. "You know, I thought I could eat this but I'm actually a vegetarian. And I haven't eaten in hours, so I'm just...gonna go, now. It was nice meeting you, Wade. I'll see you around!"

Before he can pull a salad out of that magical bag, Chloe waves and then is out the door and pulling it closed behind her.
