"Alright, but we better get some answers sugar." Rouge and the other mutants went off with Logan, all of them fine. Punisher had gotten a short but deep cut on his leg, thankfully though, he was the only one hurt.

Bruce helped Punisher out of the jet and saw Natasha when Jarvis informed her and Clint to help Bruce and the other. "Good timing. Can you take Reeds to where Fury and Roger is at?" he asked the redhead, who nodded and lead Reeds to the briefing room.

"Deadpool is currently in this base, apparently sulking, and not a single person thought it would be a good idea to inform me!?" Fury yelled at the blond super soldier, him standing, Steve sitting. "I know Frigga is officially in charge, but I am head of SHIELD, so I'm entitled to know who is here!" Steve just sat there letting Fury scream at him.

Natasha winced slightly from Fury's tone as she led Reeds into the room, already missing taking orders from Frigga and Bruce. "Well, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have Reeds and have of the X-Men and Brotherhood here." She told Fury.

Fury spun around, while Steve mouthed a 'Thank you' behind his back. "That mercenary is unstable. He could give away our position without a care!"

"Well, from what Logan told me, all he's done was save everyone he can, worked around the infirmary helping Dr Banner and Dr McCoy, and just singing and playing dress up. He's done more work then you or anyone has here." The redhead said, folding her arms in front of her chest.

Fury looked ready to yell some more, but JARVIS interrupted. "It seems that Mr. Wilson has found the kitchen, and is wondering how many people would like some pancakes." Steve chuckled silently.

Natasha couldn't help but chuckle as well. "Well, least he's not crying about not getting a kiss."

"He's wearing an apron asking for it instead Agent Romenoff."

"How lovely." Hank said as he enters into the room. "Reed? Hey! Wait, who else came back? Is the rest of your team here too?" he asked Mr, Fantastic.

Reed sighs a little and said "I...I got separated from the Four when Doom blasted the Baxter building. I haven't heard from anyone from the team."

"We'll find them Dr. Reed. For now, it would be wise if you help Stark and the rest of the team in sorting through the files retreived from Doom's castle." Steve cleared his throat, sending Fury a pointed look. He sighed, and forced out "And Frigga is the leader of this operation, anything you find must be told to her."

Reed gave Frigga a polite nod. "Come on. I'll take you to where Stark and I are working at." Hank said, leading him to the lab he, Tony, and Janet were working at.

"Man, Doom is offically more insane than Deadpool in my books. Speaking of the psycho, where is he?" Tony looked over at one computer just as the merc in question strolled in with a stack of pancakes in one hand, and plates and forks in the other.

"No one answered JARVIS, so I took it as a yes. Dig in, no poison was use!" He grabbed one himself, lifting his mask just enough to cram it into his mouth.

Janet looks at the merc for a moment and then turned to see Hank with Reeds following behind, smiling a little. "Thank god! We need an extra hand here." she said to Reeds.

"Hi Mr. Stretchy!" Deadpool waved, and held out the stack. "Pancake?"

Tony sighed. "Wade, we can't eat in here. There's too many computers and other machines that are of the upmost importance. Go give them to someone else."

Reed chuckles a little and said "I guess I'll take a few. Thank you, Wade." Janet roll her eyes and asked Deadpool "How's Dr Banner and Dr McCoy?"

"They're okay. But rumour has it Bruce and Tony are In Love~!" He said the last part the same way people do in the movies, complete with hands interlocking and going to the side of his face. His foot even lifted up off the ground.

Hank looked over at Tony and smiles a little. "Get back to work, Wade. This isn't a high school." Janet said sternly to the merc.

"Fine! Here's me, taking an order!" Deadpool took the tower of pancakes, and left the room. "Now, Dr. Reed, it would be a big help if we got started on decoding the Tesseract information we have retreved." Tony pulled up the information for him.

Reeds nodded as he went over to the screed and starts to decode the information.

~~~~~~~~~

Bruce was back at the infirmary with everyone else, fixing up the Punisher's wounds.

"It is good to see that those who were harmed are not that hurt." Beast commented. The others nodded.

"Who would have known it took Doom becoming insane and powerful for us all to work together?" Quicksilver commented, not happy to be around so many non-mutants, but not hating them.

Bruce looked over at Quicksilver as he stitched Punisher's wound and said "You know, your father never considered me as a non-mutant, even if the Other Guy was an accident." Nightcrawler hissed a little as Strange carefully helped him sit up on his bed.

"You're different. I may have not liked you at first, but you have a way of growing on people Dr. Banner." Hulk chuckled at the silver-haired mutants words, having been quiet for a while.

Bruce smiles a little as he finished stitching Punisher. "So, back when you said to Kurt here that you can read minds." Peter said to Strange. Beast looked over, along with the whole infirmary.

"I believe my answer was I can somewhat read ones mind." Strange told them. "Then you can help find Xavier or find out where Doom is at." Bruce said.

There was a knock at the door, and as Bruce opened it, Deadpool walked in, the fluffy breakfast food and plates still in his hands. "I made food. I heard people who don't heal almost instantly need it to speed it up!" He looked around, and added as an after thought, "Did I interrupt something important? Writer, don't get in the way of Clint's sisters work." [Wade, they're not related!]

Peter sighed heavy and said "I hate to admit it, I am starving."

Strange rolled his eyes and said to Bruce, "My mind reading not as powerful as Xavier's. It involved more focus and control."

Deadpool giggled. "She so is, just not in this universe!"

Beast looked around. "Who are you talking to Wade?"

"A girl. She is on the other side of the fourth wall." He turned and passed four pancakes to Peter, winking again.

"Uhhhhhhh huh?" Peter said as he ate his pancakes, giving Deadpool a weird look.

"Can you at least try to find him?" Bruce asked the magician, everyone looking back at Strange.

"Fourth wall. I'll teach you about it later, once I'm back to being the most crazy one around here. And Strange, if you could do all that mind mumbo-jumbo, why don't you just draw power from the cube, then teleport it somewhere away from Doom and safe?" Deadpool asked.

"From what I've been told about the powers of the Tesseract, I do not wish to have something that powerful to over run me as well. I may not be powerful hungry as Doom but I don't want to bring harm to my friends and inoccent lives when it possess my mind." Strange told them.

"I risk my friends lives all the time, it's not that bad." Deadpool laughed.

Gambit groaned. "Wade, you're mouth will get you into trouble. We will lock you up and throw away the key, or at least Fury will if you're seen as a threat. Which you sort of are."

"We're not asking you to take the cube from him, we want to know if you can either locate the Professor or Doom." Bruce told him.

Strange looked at the scientist and then back at the mutants, both X-Mens and Brotherhood. "I'll try then."

"Once we find Doom, I can treat him like a baby!" THAT got some stares. "I find babies very creepy."

Logan walked into the room at that remark. "Huh, you threatened to shoot a bunch of babies one of the first times I met Bruce. You also said Omega was wetting the bed."

Strange closed his eyes and breathes in as he tries to focus on finding either Xavier or Doom. Bruce bit his lips as he waited from him to find either one of them.

Deadpool went to open his mouth, (and how would you know that?) [Your mask moved, now stop breaking the fourth wall Wade!] (Uhhhh no.) But Logan slid a claw out silently, the tip under his chin, physically telling him to not talk. Deadpool then pulled out a mini whiteboard, and wrote out

Peter looked back at Deadpool and gave him a weird look when he read what he wrote. "Your still complaining about that?" Strange breathed in and out as he finally caught one of the minds he was after.

A few squeeks, and he held up the board again. Logan brought his claw back in, and face palmed.

"Maybe you should kiss him, Parker. That'll get him away from us." Punisher joked.

Strange eyes shot open and fell to his knee. "What happened?" Bruce said as he went to his side.

Deadpool smiled, but turned when he heard Bruce. "Yo, Dr. Weird, which guy did you find?"

"The...the Professor....Doom has him...I....I saw what he saw." Strange said as he tries to breathe. Nightcrawler looks down at the magician with a worry look on his face as the rest of the X-Men.

"Please don't say that Doom wasn't wearing pants." Logan hit Deadpool in the jaw, a growl/snarl coming from him. A snap and crunch came from the now broken bone, while Deadpool fell comically to the floor. "Ow! Thath hurth!" Was barely made out.

"You got a healing factor, fix it yourself." Logan growled, more pissed off than normal.

"He....he's using the Professor to locate everyone. Human, mutant, anyone that's gets in his way." Strange told them. Bruce stood up for a moment and turns away as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration, now wanting nothing more than to end Doom, end all this chaos.

"Hold on a minute! The only one allowed to use someone as a slave is me! And that's only because they would have to laugh at my jokes." Deadpool started twirling a gun around. "Wait, is the safety on this thing?" He pointed at Logans head. "Can I shoot you to double check?"

Bruce ignored Deadpool as he began to process what Doom has, wants, and destroyed. Strange looked over at his friend and asked "Are you okay, Banner?"

Logan grabbed the gun away, and removed the bullets. Deadpool frowned, pouting as he sat on the end of Peters bed. 'Kill Doom! Rip his head off, and throw it into the sun!' Hulk roared, furious that he was using an ally is such a violent manner. 'Smash him to bits!'

"I need a moment." Bruce said quietly as he left the infirmary.

"What crawled up his pants?" Deadpool commented once his jaw was fully healed.

"Wait! Where's the Doc going?" Peter asked either Beast, Logan, or Strange.

"Let him be. He... he need to let out his anger somewhere where he won't harm us." Strange told the teenager.

~~~~~~~~

'Destroy! Smash! Break!' Hulk was seeing red, despite being green. Professor X didn't hate the Hulk, they had once had a small talk. But anyone hurting someone that Bruce like automatically was on Hulks bad list. There were different levels, and the only other person now at the very top was Bruces abusive father. 'Smash! Crush! SMASH!' Hulk was past the point of no return, which meant Bruce had to get outside fast, before he changed.

Bruce gripped hard onto his chest as he tries to find an exit or at least an empty safe room not being used.

Hulk roared, feeling the skin start to turn green. He had about a minute if he kept fighting, less if Bruce gave up. Hulk faintly could tell he was looking for an exit, but when Hulk came out to play, he would just jump through the roof and find the nearest place to smash. Not Vegas, Hulk knew that Tony loved Las Vegas.

Bruce found an exit and headed outside, not caring if SHIELD or even Doom himself would be after him. He would just rip Doom face off and kill him, for Xavier, for Nightcralwer and the kids, for Magneto, and especially for Tony.

~~~~~~~~~

"Yep! He's going green! And not in the hippie way." Deadpool sighed. "So who's going to kiss me?" A loud group groan followed that sentence.

Punisher nudge Peter toward Wade a little. The teenager glared at the group and said "You've got to be freaking kidding me."

"Oooooh! The cutest of the group!" Deadpool moved close, ignoring personal space. "You're going to give me my prize?"

Peter glared at the merc, ignoring the many stares they were getting. "Fine....but only to shut you up." he said sternly to Deadpool.

"That's fine!" He rolled up his mask a bit, so his mouth was free. Puckering up, Deadpool leaned forward, ready to kiss Peter.

Peter groans again as he closed his eyes and leans forward to press his lips against Deadpool's lip. Strange was probably the only one not watching the two kiss, concern on where Bruce was at, wondering if he should tell Tony and the others that the doctor suddenly left.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hulk let out the loudest roar he has ever done, before launching himself into the air, landing five miles away, and proceeded to devastate the landscape.

Hulk pounded on a boulder, turning it into sand, then dust. He threw another rock into space, as well as a cactus. He punched the earth, sending vibrations around him. He hit it again and again, createing a deep crease in the earths crust. A few tears escaped his eyes, but he paid no attention to them.

Bruce was beyond upset. He wished he could feel the anger, wish his pain and suffering could just end. Just for once save the day with having anyone hurt, kidnapped, or killed.

Hulk slowly calmed down. Taking a deep breath, he was about to jumped back towards the base, when he felt a powerful being searching for someone. A second later Hulk realized that it was the professer, and he was looking for him and Bruce. Hulk reached out, making a link that only those two could see/feel/use.

"Xavier? Xavier!? Where are you?!? Where has Doom taken you?!!" Bruce asked in his mind, making sure he didn't loose him.

"Don't talk! If Doom knows I found you, he will gain your location!"

Hulk grinned. 'Will not. I know my way around people trying to find out where I am with other telepaths. We have about ten minutes before he figues out that you "can't" find me.'

"Are you sure?" The telepath asked.

'How else do you think Bruce is left alone so much?'

Xavier smiled, the kindess going between the link. "I'm not sure where I am, but I do know that Doom is using the Tesseract for evil."

Bruce breathes in a little as he listen more to what Xavier had to say, wanting to know why Doom needed him and Bruce and just kill off their friends and allies.

"It seems there is an inscription on the cube. "

Bruce listen closely, letting every word stick to his mind. "A bond not shattered and hold a power over the bleakest day? What could that mean to hi-wait! What?!" Bruce thought to himself, realizing that it was possibly talking about his bond with Tony.

'No wonder he went after Tony.' Hulk huffed.

"Tony, as in Anthony Stark?" Xavier asked.

'Yeah, why?'

"Doom said he killed him, with every poison he knew, which means every poison." He informed the two.

'Yeah, twice. And I don't place him being poisoned the third time.' Bruce said sternly, now determined to protect Tony from Doom and the power of the Tesseract.

"Interesting. How did he survive?" Xaviar asked, curious.

'My money is on the ARC reacter.' Hulk told them.

"It is possible." Xaviar agreed.

Bruce breathes in again, trying to get the story, the whole plot of why Doom needed the two and why, and Tony can take him down to sink in still.

"I must go. Doom will figure out I contacted you otherwise."

'We still have two minutes. Send us where you are, and we'll come get you.' Hulk prompted, not wanting to lose the professor again.

'Atta a boy, Hulk.' Bruce said quietly, first time he ever called him that instead of Other Guy or Big Guy.

'That's the first time you ever called me by my name.' Hulk smiled widely.

"Alright, but it will be dangerous."

'When is our life ever not?' Xavier chuckled at that, and sent the latitude and longitude.

'Got it. Final words till we see each other in person?' Hulk asked.

Bruce nodded slightly and said to Xavier "See you soon, I promise."

'I'll make sure that I punch Doom just for you.' The professer chuckled.

"If you see any of my students, tell them that I love them, and am waiting to see them again." The connection broke, and Hulk walked back into the base, snatching another pair of sweats as he turned back into Bruce.
