"Need any extra hand around here, Bruce?" Natasha asked him.
"Not yet but thank you." He answered.
An announcment was heard over the intercoms. "New arrivels. May all head staff report to the docking bay? This includes you Dr. Banner." JARVIS reported, before ending it.
Bruce sighs and looks at the assassin, who nodded to him as they both headed out.
Logan met up with them in the hall. "I got stuck on security." He said simply. Once they got inside the bay, Logan smiled, and jumped off the floor they were on to the bottom, which was only one floor but still pretty high to jump from. "Beast! You're alright you hairball!" Logan hit the blue furred doctor on the back.
"Yes I am Logan, though I was under the impression you weren't."
"When has anyone sucessfully killed me?"
"Yeah, he almost gave me a god damn heart attack when I thought he was skinned alive by Doom. Bruce said as he went over to the mutants.
"You were skinned alive?" Beast asked.
Logan smirked. "And I got to check out Asgard. Nice place." Logan looked around, and stopped, eyes glaring, and claws 'shink'ing out. "Sabertooth."
Bruce backed away when the canadian released his claws. "What's Sabertooth doing here?
"Easy Logan. Until Doom is taken down, we are all allies." Mystique wandered up behind them, walking over to the other villian. They were too far away to be heard, but it was clear that she was telling him not to kill anyone on the base.
A helicopper landed inside, and Deadpool jumped out. "I'm HOOOOME!" Everyone groaned, different people could be heard yelling out "What is he doing here?" And "Go away Wade!".
"Ode to joy." Bruce groaned when he saw the Merc.
The three other people Deadpool had mentioned fell out after him. Literally fell out. Peter Parker, also known as Spider Man, rolled up is mask just enough to kiss the floor a few times. "Why did we let him fly the plane? I didn't even think it was a good idea to let him out of whatever asylem he was locked up in." Peter went back to hugging the floor, ignoring almost everyone.
"Common, my flying isn't that bad."
Bruce chuckles a little and looks over at Beast. "It's a good thing you're here. I'm gonna need an extra hand around here."
"So it seems Dr. Banner. I believe we should start on young Peter over there." Beast sighed.
Logan had walked over, and pulled him off the floor by the back of his suit. "By the way, I heard that Tony was attacked twice, and both time the Hulk saved him. Is this true?" The teen asked.
Bruce smiles a little and nodded to Peter. "Well well, who knew that the dimwitted green bastard could saves lives." Sabertooth snarks as he headed inside.
"Wow, I thought I smelled a dead mammoth." Peter retorted, waving a hand in front of his mask. "Have you ever heard of a shower? Or a washer?"
'I like SpiderMan.' Hulk thought, while at the same time flipping off Sabertooth inside Bruces head.
Bruce smiles a little at the remark and said to Logan and McCoy "Bring Peter and anyone else that is injured to the infirmary."
"You got it doc." Logan turned, bumping past Sabertooth and out to get a check on everyone else. Peter and Beast headed off into the infirmery, Bruce leading the way.

Bruce turned to look at Peter, noting how worn he looked under the spandex. "Peter, what happened before Deadpool came and got you?"
Peter shuttered. "Doom started after everyone. The army tried to bring in tanks, but with this blue glowing cube thing, he just destroyed them. I swung around, getting people to evacuate. Got a good deal of them out of the city, but the blood." He stopped, starting to breath hard. Peter ripped his mask off, hand running through his hair. "I had landed on a building right next to him just as he... he killed Magneto." Tears started to fall. Beast put a comforting hand on the youths shoulder. "It was horrible. I saw part of Doc Oct sticking out of a pile of rubble." He whispered, horrifide by the destruction he had seen.
Bruce went to his side and said "It's okay, Peter. You did what you can. We're all gonna stop him once and for all. I swear on it."
"I'm never going to forget it, am I?" He asked, voice small. "The smell of blood, the sound of flesh tearing, the feeling of warm blood soaking into my suit." He lowered his head into his hands, letting out a shakey sob. Beast looked at Bruce, worry all over his face.
Bruce wrapped a comforting arm around him and holds the teenager close. "I know, it's hell. Believe me I know. But we'll rise up from this and save million from Doom fury. We just need to stay strong for those we've lost."
Peter leaned heavily on Bruce, letting the pain come out in uneven breaths. He calmed down a few minutes later, and finished his story. "Deadpool saved my life. He yanked on a web I was on, moving me out of a blast. It melted a car. We looked at each other for a moment, then took off running. I hid in the sewer, and ran into Luke Cage and Ghostrider while I was there."
Bruce nodded a little and said "There you go, your allies help and you even said it yourself you evacuated New York. You did good kid."
He smiled, and nodded. "I guess I did, huh?"
Beast nodded. "You did well son. Dr. Banner, you should go see if there are any others who seek help."
Bruce nodded and headed back to the loading dock.
Logan met him at the bottom of the stairs. "Only three other people, none of them serious." He reported. Quicksilver held a sprained wrist, Gambit had a mild concussion, and Daredevil with a broken nose.
"Not much. We're still waiting for AntMan to arrive. Should be here soon." Bruce led the others to the infirmary to treat them properly, while Logan went off to do the job he was assigned.
"Don't know why I'm being treated near a human." Quicksilver glared at the blind man, who just responded with the finger.
"Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean you have to open your mouth. Just keep the trash talk for Doom. I have a few cards up my sleeve for that man." Gambit started fiddling with one, laying down on a bed.
"Take it easily, all of you. Fury and the other are gonna come up with something to stop Doom." Beast assured them as he finished treating Quicksilver's wrist.
Bruce nodded a little and pulled his phone out the text Tony. [How's it going on your end?]
[It's like Doom had a fangirl crush on you. He has a creepy amount of info on you.]

Bruce tensed up a little from that. [He really is after me huh. I'm shocked Fury haven't put me back into that underground cell he had for the Other Guy.]
[Brucie, there are plans here to kidnap you from that cell. If the team didn't get you out then, you would be in his hands, and I would be dead.] The swiftness in how it came told of how worried Tony was.
Bruce bit his lips hard and texted back. [Does he really need me that much because I know so much about the Gamma Rays from the cube or what?]
[Some of that. There was also some weird stuff, different launguage, someones translating. But he did forget one thing. You being a good guy. Think the tessalect is messing with his mind a bit.] Deadpool wandered in, juggling some bowling pins. A few people chuckled.
[The man was screw up before he had the Tesseract. I feel awful that all our friends and allies getting hurt and kill is my fault, all because he wants me.] Bruce texted back.
[Whatever this man does is NOT your fault, understand Bruce? I don't care if you two were boner buddies in high school, anything he does is not reflected on you, understand Brucie?]
Bruce sighs quietly and text back [I understand. I better go and help anyone else injured]
[Alright Bruce. I'll talk to you later. Kisses. :-* ;) ] Beast walked up beside Bruce. "Dr. Banner, I can not find the gauze pads."
Bruce nodded and went over to the cupboards to get some more pads.
"Thank you Dr. Banner." He went over to Daredevil, making sure that it was fixed properly.
Bruce went back to check on Gambit until he felt his phone go off. At the moment, he ignored it.
"Well doc? Am I a dead man? If so, is Wade driving the bus to hell?" Gambit joked, looking at the red-and-black covered man-child. Deadpool ignored them, sending a wink over to Peter.
Peter rolled his eyes and looked over at Bruce. "You're gonna be fine, LeBeau. Unless the King of Spazz known as Wade here plans on making it worse for not you but for all of us." Bruce said as he checked his phone to see he got a missed call from an unknown number.
"I guess you're right. We're all doomed to be driven crazy by our resident wacko." Deadpool frowned. "I'm not Wacko, and I can't say I'm Yacko, nor Dot. But I am a bit of all three." He turned and saw Bruce with his phone out, and looked over his shoulder. "Ooooh! Do you have a secret admirer? Isn't me, so don't flatter yourself"
Bruce glared at Deadpool and then dials the number that was missed. "Banner! Where are you located!"
Bruce eyes widen when he recognized the voice. "Strange?! I'm at a SHIELD base! Where are you?"
"Hi Strange! How's it going? We're all here! Well... almost all. Have I ever told you how much I hate Doom?" Deadpool hung off of Bruce, ignoring the glare.
"Never mind that now! Which base are you at!?" Strange asked sternly.
Bruce pushed Deadpool away as he talked to Strange. "In Nevada. Strange wha-"
"Meet me at the docking bay and hurry! I have someone that needs to be treated!" And a click ended the call.
The whole room got silent, and Deadpool of all people got things in motion. He pulled a cart out, looking at people. "You heard the magic man. We have someone in need, and we're heroes/people who fight for what we think is right. Let's go!" Beast started pulling a few different medical supplies, while Quicksilver tossed a few gauze pads over to him.
Peter went with Bruce and Beast to help whoever Strange has with him. As they reached the docking bay, they both were shock to see Strange on his knees holding Nightcrawler, who was bleeding pretty badly. Bruce hurried over to them and notice Strange was injured too. "I'm fine! Help him instead!" Strange ordered Bruce.
"How much blood has he lost?" Beast asked, reaching for some rubbing alcohol to clean the injuries. Logan showed up, being able to smell the overpowering scent of blood from a few floors away. "What happened?"
"I found him not to far from what's left of the mansion." Strange saw and he carefully place Nightcrawler on the stretchers.
Bruce went over to him and notices his was covering his burns and wounds with a shaky hand and Strange's coat, which was soaked with an enormous amount of blood. "He needs to be treated sat!"
Beast nodded. "He may need a blood transfusion Dr. Banner." The mutant observed, slightly sick from the sight of all the blood on Stranges coat.
Logan stepped forward. "If you need blood, I have O+, if that'll help at all."
"Then come with us and we'll see what we can do." Bruce said as he took Nightcrawler to the infirmary with the other's help.
Logan jogged after them, eyes never leaving the damaged form of the fellow X-Man.
As they reached the room, Bruce carefully placed Nightcrawler on one of the medical bed with Strange and Peter's help. Beast grabbed an IV, inserting the needle inside one of his veins. He then set up a heart monitor, reading the printout. "Heart rate faster than normal, adrenaline level at a higher level co-responding with heart rate, he's doing very well considering the circumstances."
Bruce nodded and began to treat his wound. Nightcrawler hissed when his touched the burn marks. "It's okay. It's okay. It'll be over soon." Bruce said as he finished washing the dry blood off.
The rest of the room was quiet, everyone watching as the injured mutant was treated. Each in their heads were planning a was to kill Doom the second they have a chance. Beast prepared the stitching needle and medical thread.
"What happened?" Bruce asked Nightcrawler quietly.
"When...when we left after Doom's attack, Rouge, Colossus, and I...tried to got back for the kids....Doom was waiting....I had to stall him while the others find the kids...they made it out, but...." Nightcrawler paused as he looks down at Strange blood soaked coat he was clinging tightly to.
Beast patted a part of Nightcrawlers arm that didn't have a cut or burn. "It is alright. We will treat you, then find the others."
Nightcrawler nodded slightly and continues "I teleport Doom far from the mansion....far from where he could harm the others.....that's....that's where Strange found us.."
Strange smiles a little at the teleporter and said, "It was very brave of you what you did for your fellow mutants."
"Brave indeed." Beast agreed. The others nodded also, captive of the retell of the fight. Logan stood off to the side a bit, listening and waiting to see if they need a donor.
Nightcrawler gave them a weak smiles, but it faded away when he finishes "He....he almost ended me but....I teleport Strange and I far from him...I.....I've never seen him that powerful ever.."
Bruce bit his lips a little as he finished bandaging his wound, noticing the mutant looked like he was about to passed out from blood loss. "Logan, we'll be needing that blood now."
Logan rolled up his sleeve, arm held out for the donation. Beast inserted a needle into his arm, and put one into Nightcrawler. The red liquid flowed through the tube, getting pumped into the other mutant. "O+ blood with a side order of temporary healing abilities. They'll last about an half hour per ounce I give, and are only a tenth of my full ability, but it'll be a big help." He explained, not flinching as he gave blood.
Bruce gave Logan a small smile and said "Thank you." Nightcrawler sighs as he tries to stay awake at the blood transfer into him. Strange went over to remove his coat off of him, knowing he won't need it anytime.
"Dr. Strange, if you don't mind me asking, why were you at the mansion?" Beast asked, watching with a trained eye on the life liquid.
Strange shrugged a little and said as he folded his blood soaked coat "I was near by Westchester when Doom attacked the school."
"First or second time? Cause I managed to go toe-to-toe with him when he first started on us mutants, and I distinctly remember not smelling you around. My face was gone later, but I still know I didn't smell anyone other than Doom and the students." Logan just sighed, grabbing a chair to make it more comfortable for him as he kept donating.
"When Kurt and his allies came back to look for any survivors yes." Strange told him and looked over at either Logan and Bruce. "Why did Doom attack the mutants?"
"Ooh! Ooh! Can I answer?" Deadpool raised his hand as high as he could, acting like a five year old.
Logan raised an eyebrow, but sighed in defeat. "Fine, you goof around and I'll see how well you can function with my claws in your skull. Again."
"Yeah yeah yeah. Ahem." He cleared his throat, and stood up straight. "Dr. Victor Von Doom has gained the tesseract, and while we don't know exactly what his plans are, we do know he is attacking everyone who could possible stand a chance against him. Heroes, villains, me. He managed to attack and bring down Asgard, and whatever power he has now, it made him more loopy than me. So it's safe to say that whatever his plan is, it's going to be really big." He finished seriously, shocking everyone.
Peter's mouth nearly dropped from how serious Deadpool was for once. "You sure you didn't drugged any of us, doc?" he asked either Bruce or Beast.
Deadpool then started to giggle. "Did I do it right? I always wanted to be an actor."
Logan chuckled. "If you acted like you weren't brainless, you would get to do more stuff."
Deadpool gasped, taking shakey steps back. "Me? B-be s-s-serious!? NEVER!" He went to run out of the room, but tripped on his feet. "I meant to do that."
"Idiot." Peter groans quietly.
Strange looks back at Logan and Bruce and asked "Is what the Merc said true?"
"Yes...... yes it's true. He even tried to poison Tony twice." the physicist told him.
"Wait, Tony was poisoned twice? Why not just blow up his head up into a billion billion little pieces, and laugh as someone tries to put them back together? Or just shoot him? Or remove the ARC reactor?"
Tony chose that moment to walk in. "Uh, a few things. 1. Why is Deadpool here? 2. Why is he talking about ways to kill me? 3. What the hell happened to Strange and Nightcrawler?"
Bruce looked over at Tony and sighed a little. "One and Two, Deadpool invited himself here and brought Peter and few others here and still won't shut up went I told him what happened to you. And Three, Strange found Nightcrawler when he was trying to stop Doom from hurting the other mutants."
Tony looked at the merc, who just waved. "Right... Anyway, has anyone heard from Hank yet? His wife is getting more and more worried." He looked around the room at everyone, hoping for a positive answer.
Bruce was about to answer until Jarvis announced to everyone "Attention, Hank Pyms is approaching the bay shorty. Doctor Banner, Doctor McCoy, you may be needed there as well."
"You go ahead Bruce, I will stay behind and finish up the transfusion." Beast offered.
Deadpool sprang up beside Logan. "And could ya take the nut?" Logan glared at him, slapping his hand away from the needle inbedded in his skin.
Bruce headed up to meet up with Hank at the docking bay.
Deadpool followed behind him, holding a first aid kit with a nurse outfit over his full body suit. He even had a hat, but instead of a red cross, he had his symbol.
Tony walked two feet away from Deadpool, eyeing him. "Bruce I think once this blows over, you should check his head."
"I plan on to." Bruce told the genius as they reached the docking by. The jet (or at lets what's left of it) landed inside.
Tony and Deadpool pause. "I thought you need wings to fly something." Tony pointed to a piece of metal on the side. "Oh, there it is."
"Whatever they got hit with, I really hope the plane got it all." Tony said, the mechanical part of him cringing at the sight.
As the hatch opened, Hank limped out and took his helmet off. "There's a few agents in here the need medical care fast!"
Deadpool held the kit up, pushing the other two men forward. "As that on tv show one of our ladies loves, ALLONS-Y!"
Hank take a look at Deadpool for a moment and then back at Tony and Bruce. "Fury's excuse for budget cut?" he asked either one.
"More of he's a stray that can't take a hint." Tony answered, reaching for a stretcher that was left in the bay. "We have the information you sent, and I'm assuming you got out with not that much trouble?"
Deadpool went inside, singing off key "On top of spaghettiiiiiii!"
"With those holo-clone things Loki made, it was nothing. Didn't even loose a single soldier. They're injured yes, but still alive." Hank mentions to them. He then looks over at Bruce and sighed "Out of everyone he's trying to kill, he wants you and/or the Hulk alive."

Red Wheat
Skylar Kylee Wintersong was born an Indigo Child. Celebrated by her parents, who ensured that she suffered no restrictions that might hinder her powers, ability or genius, she has grown up knowing that she was a member of the elite, born to rule and guide. However, the cruel whims of beings who are Gods have intervened, and not only dropped Skylar in a savage reality of magic, muscle, steel, and blood, but granted her all the powers she thought she was entitled to. Her knowledge that she's been born to rule and guide, that she was a chosen one, has been made real, with all the terrible burden that entails. How will a 21st Century Earth girl survive on the Six Worlds of Shtar? A place known as "The War Worlds." The entire thing is somewhat tongue in cheek, fun high fantasy with a touch of satire. Rather than adding in likable and relatable characters, the three Earthlings are supposed to be caricatures and somewhat satirical, as I was making fun of the type of fantasy that was being spit out all over the place at the time I wrote this about a decade ago. It is currently unfinished and on hiatus.

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is complete and coming out M-W-F. The complete book 2 is available on Patreon
