《Sticks and Stones • Spideypool ✓》Chapter 13
Advertisement
We decided to go to Wade's room as we didn't want to risk waking Uncle Bruce up again. I jumped onto the bed making myself comfy whilst Wade shut the door and turned the lights off.
He climbed into bed next to me, wrapping his strong arms around my torso. Shivers shot up and down my spine at his touch. I turned carefully in his arms to face him. "Goodnight Wade." I mumble, my eyelids already drooping.
"Good night, Spidey."
What he said didn't register until a few moments later. My eyes widened and my brow got sweaty.
"What." I whisper, confused. But Wade was already asleep. He looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake him.
I drifted into an uneasy state of sleep, anxious.
----
I woke up to the sound of rustling. I sit up, groggily wiping sleep out of my eyes and stretched my arms. I caught sight of Wade sitting at a desk drawing. He looks up from his pad and smiles at me. I smile back, but my face quickly fell when I realized what he was drawing.
Spiderman.
"How did you know?" I didn't mean to sound so hostile, but I was frustrated with myself. "It wasn't exactly hard to figure out. You would disappear, then an hour later Spiderman would be on the news. Plus whenever I brought it up around your parents they would get all awkward and change the subject." Ah, right.
I shuffle around looking at the floor. "You could have told me you know. I wouldn't tell. I am pretty used to keeping things to myself." I didn't want to question what he meant. It was clear by the tone of his voice he was upset, I didn't want to make it worse. "I'm sorry. I was going to tell you, I really wanted to. But I didn't know what you would think."

"It's fine. I understand. You want to keep your identity a secret, I get that."
"You do?" I cock my head, like a confused puppy. Wade's face turns bright red and he mutters something under his breath.
Shit, shit, shit, SHIT.
I was not supposed to say that. Damn you boxes, putting ideas into my head. Now it was my turn to look at the ground. No way could I tell him I'm Deadpool. He would flip. Since I figured out he was Spider-Man, I have been awaiting the day he figured out who I am. Granted I am more talented at sneaking out than him, with the whole teleporting thing but people still notice when I am gone.
"Wade," Peter's voice was calm and soothing, making keeping secrets ten times worse. "You can tell me anything. You can trust me." I shake my head. The truth was, I hate being Deadpool. My dad forced me to become him once he realised I had powers. He forced me to kill, to torture, to kidnap innocents for information. I never wanted to be part of this. So I used humour to cover up my hatred for myself. But I couldn't tell Peter that. He would never be able to see past the murder.
Have you even met him. He looks for the good in everything. Of course he will see past that.
"He could kick me out." For the second time in the space of a couple of minutes I mentally slap myself.
"Why would I kick you out. What's going on Wade?"
I take a deep breath before looking at him in his beautiful hazel eyes. "I am Deadpool."
His jaw drops open, and for a second I thought I saw a terrified look in his eyes. He backed up a little. "The mercenary?"
"The one and only." Now is not the time for humour Wade. Seriously what is wrong with you. Peter turns and makes his way to the door. "Please I can explain. Don't leave." He ignores me, slamming the door shut behind him.
Well that was unexpected.
I am never listening to you again.

8 183A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.
