[ It was true, and it was not like heroes and villains could be in their work clothes 24/7.
The flat look still directed Wade's way as he watched that brow. How did he and Spider-Man do that? It is something in the way he responds that makes Michael finally sigh. A clear sign that he's resigned himself to whatever is next. ]
Fine, I am trusting you on that. Just know if you mess up down here, I will be blamed as much as you. Come along, I am sure you remember the way.
Aw, I always knew you liked me! Guess that's why you never blocked my number! You should totally follow me on my socials.
[ Totally unfazed by that look, Wade did indeed remember the way but seemed happy enough following Morbius to wherever they were going. ]
Tell ya what, I owe you one! You just call me whenever you want Webs outta your hair. He and I are, like, friends or something now. He'll listen to me.
I have considered blocking you. [ He grumbled, but still, the record shows he has not blocked anyone. ] I also do not use social media, Wilson. Why would I? It is just a trash heap of vanity and superficial thoughts.
[ At least Morbius didn't grumble now. His tone returned to normal as they made their way back towards the city proper.]
I hate to admit it, but that is a tempting offer. You have a deal. [ Offering over the pale hand to shake on it. ] I won't even hold it against you if you fail in that. I know how the Spider is. Though, I do question how you befriended someone as unpleasant as he is.
The shake returned just as strong as before he let go and started walking again, hands going into the pockets of his robe. ]
We can agree to disagree on this, Wilson. Spider-Man is… No, no. I am letting it go. [ Nah, he'll brood later; it's fine. ] Things down here are improving. Reconstruction from the last attack has been completed. There is a little more order as well, thanks to the others. I have not been back all that long myself.
[ He hadn't really been keeping up since the whole thing with Shiklah and then Staten Island... It was for the best if he avoided accidentally becoming monster royalty for a third time. ]
Though if I'm gonna be lying low here a while, I might need to... You remember Princess, right? My daughter?
It appears that way for now. As much as I would rather not, someone has to.
[ He would rather not be a leader, but he also didn't want Wade taking over either.
Looking back to him a moment as he considered it. ] Your daughter? I thought Princess was the red were-creature with you?
[ He looks like he's not certain he used the right phrase. ] She can come here; I wouldn't make you leave your daughter behind, Wilson. I am not a complete monster.
[ Someone yelled 'hey!' as soon as he said it. A quick call of 'sorry, no offense meant!' back to them. ]
Though, you may want to let the heat die down a few hours.
Symbiote, actually. Long story. Worst pregnancy of my life. [ ONLY pregnancy of his life!! Hopefully forever. ] Weird pregnancy cravings for cervella fritte.
I never thought I would have a use for this ridiculous 70s icon, thanks!
[ Nope. That demanded he stop in his tracks again. Those already wide red eyes widened some. He will deny the way his jaw dropped for a few seconds before that brilliant mind caught up with the rest of him. ]
Wait. Wait, no, you are kidding right now, correct?
... Okay, SparkNotes version? Got kidnapped, had my body used as a symbiote incubator, baby girl got big and strong feasting on my liver, burst out, and became a dog. I don't know either. Ain't nature beautiful?
[ He was engaged to an American for a while before he got bitey. She had shown him Alien, thinking he would hold her, but the nerd he had been just picked it apart until she got mad.]
You know what? Never mind. We will write that off to mad science and be on our way.
[ He says that and starts walking, yet he looks back again. ] Were they stupid or just assumed you could survive it? No. Sorry. I say we should move on.
Almost had me thinkin' you were cultured for a sec there, doc.
[ And Wade will happily follow after him as before. ]
To answer your burning question, they knew what they were doing. Why wouldn't I survive? That's not even the worst thing that's been inside me. Non-sexually, I mean.
A movie where the idiots go onto a foreign planet and breathe in spores without some form of protection when they do not know what is on the surface? It is bad writing, Wade. The Thing was much better.
[ Not the same, but he will argue it. ]
I hate that you knew I was thinking it. [ A door pulled open to motion Wade inside. The small block of rooms where most of the Legion lives and works. He was certain that Wade knew the way. ]
Why would you say that? Now I am curious, and I don't want to know. It's not even that it's sexual; it is that it is you, my friend. I don't believe you have limits. [ He had to clear that up before he sounded like a prude. That V-neck is far too wide for him to be a prude. He just gave up on romance and the like after the last two train wrecks.]
[ Wade took a look around once they were inside; it'd been a while, but it didn't seem like too much had changed. The doctor was right about the reconstruction having been successful. Although preoccupied, he seemed to catch the tail-end of what Morbius was saying and snapped back around. ]
Hey! I don't know what you're implying there, friend, but I have standards! I'll tell you what they are as soon as I remember.
[ He wouldn't let just any old thing inside him, c'mon! Probably. ]
[ That was apparently the correct answer, though Wade made a show of crossing his arms and lifting his chin in mock offense. It seemed he couldn't prevent the little niggle of curiosity though, tilting his head toward the doctor just so. ]
[ Morbius can't even judge it. He would probably react the same if someone insulted him. On purpose or not... and also depending on how depressed he was that day. Factors mattered in how much he cared about what people say. ]
I would really rather not dig my grave any deeper, thank you. You know who my best friend is.
[ Jack, of course, he's not denied it even when they bicker. Granted, Emil held that title first, but Emil is dead, and he doubts Deadpool knew of the childhood friend he accidentally ate when he first became the living vampire.]
People gossip down here worse than any newspaper above; I should not have listened. So, where did you leave your child?
[ Absolutely trying to divert away from his blunder.]
[ We're talking about the guy who slept with Wade's wife. Ex-wife. All water under the bridge now, Wade supposed. Jack getting his head shot clean off was probably punishment enough. ]
My perfectly polite pupper Princess? She's at the office. Can't take her on every job. She likes to chase cars, and it's a bit alarming to the average citizen. Can't imagine why. [ More importantly: ] Fireworks ain't symbiote friendly, anyway.
Well, you know how he is, more so when he gets talking with others.
[ That or his head looking like a cub when in werewolf form. Something clearly helped, or didnt help. Either way, it was a bit of drama he did not want to get involved with.
All the vampire could do was blink again.]
Yes, well that makes sense, most normal people would not know how to react to that. [ It was a comical image if nothing else. ] No, I would not think a symbiote would handle fireworks well. Which you still should not have tried to bring down here

I did not mean it to be insulting. I just truly did not consider that you have limits, just from the stories that are still told around here.
