《what a strange name》ch.8
Advertisement
I'm sitting on the couch next to Steven when Peter walks out of his room and makes a bowl of cereal.
He walks over and sits in front of the couch, watching the news with us.
"so Peter, how would you feel about staying home today. You'll just be coming back here anyway." I say, tapping his shoulder.
"oh yeah! I forgot that was today!" He says, putting his bowl into the sink. "I'd rather join my class. Try not to embarrass me!" He says, running up to his room.
When he comes back out he is wearing a dress shirt, dress pants, and a red tie. I walk over to him and pin his old intern badge to his shirt.
"now Friday will embarrass you for me." I say, ruffling his hair. I walk him outside and watch him get on his bike and ride off.
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
I get to the school and lock up my bike. Everyone is waiting outside for the bus. I walk over to the teacher and sign in.
I see wade talking to ned and mj. I slowly walk up behind them, signaling to wade to be quiet. I throw my arms around ned and mj.
We all laugh and talk until the bus arrives. "Don't you live like, near stark tower?" Mj says, looking confused.
"um... Something like that. I don't get why we need to get on the bus. I can just ride my bike." I say, remembering that only wade knows I got adopted by mr.stark and dr.strange.
As we sit down, flash sees my name tags and points it out. "look! He even made a fake id badge! How lame!" He says, just like all the times I wore it to school during my 'internship'
"its real. It's not possible to fake a stark industries ID." Wade says, sitting down next to me. We talk and laugh until we get to stark tower. It only took 2 minutes.
The class walks into the tower and through security. I just hope mr.stark changed fridays nickname for me.
I'm the last one to walk through the gate. "welcome back, Peter stark." Friday says, making my stomach sink.
"wow. He even made it call him stark! What a narc!" Flash yells, only to be cut off by Mr.rogers putting a hand on his shoulder.
"That's not very nice, kid." Mr.rogers says, looking at flash. "but he hacked the system!" Flash says, trying to explain himself.

"are you sure? I don't think tony would be happy if Peter hacked his AI." Mr.rogers motions me by name. Uh oh.
"now, my friend and I will give you a tour." As he says this, mr.barnes walks out of the elevator, waving at me. I wave back and wade tries his best not to laugh.
"my name is mr.barnes. oh and Peter, tony asked me to give you your snack. You forgot it." He says, walking over to me and handing me a small brown paper bag.
"thanks" I say quietly, trying not to make a scene. Too late. "How do you know peter?" Flash asks, looking at Mr.rogers.
Mr.rogers looks at me and raises an eyebrow. I shake my head, id rather mr.stark or dr.strange tell everyone.
"he is tonys personal intern. Tony makes him lunch and snacks since Peter is to young for the paid internship program." He says.
Flash is quiet for the rest of the tour. At lunch we all go into one of the meeting rooms to eat. Wade, Ned, mj, and I sit at a table all to ourselves. I remember that I forgot to pack my lunch.
The room suddenly falls silent. I look at the door and see mr.stark and dr.strange walk in, holding three brown paper bags.
Everyone watches silently as they walk over to the table me and my friends are sitting at, and sit down.
"hey kid" dr.strange says, passing a bag. "hey dad... dads." I say, not sure how I should address them now that they adopted me.
I hear a loud gasp from ned and mj looks at me, seeming surprised. Suddenly flash breaks the silence that the other students were holding.
"did you just say dads? How narcissitic can you be?" He half yells, somewhat angrily. Tony turns around and glares at flash.
"did you call my son narcissitic? That's a lot comeing from the kid who tried to get their dad to pay their way into an internship." Tony says, before turning back to his food.
"son?" A random student says. Mr.stark looks at me, ignoreing the questions from the class. "when you get back, we have a press conference." He says, casually.
"ok. Can wade come along?" I ask, gestureing to wade. Wade smiles at them and takes another note of his sandwich. "sure, why not. But just wade. I'm pretty sure anyone else would be to much." Mr.stark says.

"do you need a suit? I know a great tailor." Dr.strange says, turning to look at wade. Wade opens his mouth to object, but I cut him off before he can.
"yeah. He doesn't have a suit." I say, pointing out the fact that his 'dress attire' is jeans and a button up.
Wade looks at me and smiles. I don't know what I did to deserve someone so amazing.
(at the press conference)
Me and wade are backstage, waiting for our cue. "I would like to introduce my son, Peter!" Mr.stark says.
I walk out on stage and I'm met with camera flashes and questions. I learned to handle the camera flashes pretty fast.
"and his guest for tonight, wade wilson!" Dr.strange says, gestureing to the curtain. Wade walks out, joining me by my side.
After the press git some questions answered, happy drove wade to his house, an the rest of us went to the pent house.
What a day.
After chilling out for a few hours, I put on my suit and go on patrol. I stopped a purse thief, helped an old lady cross the road, and then I saw wade in his deadpool suit, sitting on a roof.
I swing over to him and I can already tell he's crying. I walk over and sit down next go him. "wade? Are you ok?" I say, putting a hand on his shoulder as I take off my mask.
He flinches away and grabs a piece of paper that was next to him and shoved it in his pocket. "yeah, I'm fine." He says, as I take his mask off to wipe his tears.
His face is covered in bruises and his nose is bleeding. I don't even stop to stare, I just wipe his eyes and kiss his forehead.
"you don't look fine. Who did this to you?" I ask, keeping my voice calm and caring. I'm met with only silence.
"my-... a guy outside my house." He says, his voice getting higher like it always does when he lies.
"Wade. Please." I say, holding his hand gently. He wipes his tears and looks into my eyes, seeing of he can trust me.
"my mom. But its ok! It happens a lot! Really I'm ok!" He says, putting his hands out in front of him.
I put my mask back on and hand wades to him. He puts it on, confused. I hold his waist and swing back to the alley by stark towers. I swing into my room and get him some clothes.
I look away as he changes out of his suit and into my clothes. I take his hand gently and lead him inside, through the back way, around security and reception. I take him directly to the pent house.
We walk out of the elevator and he still has tears in his eyes. I hold his hand gently as we walk into the living room. The avengers are all watching a movie when we walk in.
Clint turns around to greet me and falls silent when he sees wade. He taps ms.romanoff on the arm and gestures to wade. Surprisingly they were the only ones who noticed.
Ms.romanoff walks over and leads us to the elevator."what happened?" Clint says, concerend.
"his mom beat him up. I found him crying on a roof. I never knew his mom was abusive." I say, hiding the fact that he's deadpool. Ms.romanoff looks at wade sadly.
It's only now that I understand why he was so fast to grab that paper. It was a suicide note. Why didn't I realize that? How could I be so stupid?
We get to the med bay and walk into one of the rooms. "lay down on this table." clint says, patting a metal table. Wade lays down.
"Friday, scan him for inguries." I say, still holding wades hand. "it appears he has several bruises on his face, and stomach. Likely from a blunt object."
Jesus Christ. "what type of blunt object?" Clint says. "it appears to be from a bat. There appears to be 7 in digested pills in his stomach and very high levels of the same medication in his blood stream." Oh god, no. "call dr.strange down to med bay room 3" ms.ramanoff says.
Then I feel the grip on my hand loosen and fall. I look at him to see that he passed out. No, not like this, not him.
