OF ANGRY ELVES AND MOUTHY MERCENARIES
Many thanks to Sundowhn, who corrected some of my German and gave me several excellent suggestions, especially for Deadpool. Set several days after Bobby’s death in UXF #24, and prior to what happened in Deadpool #50-54. Also prior to Betsy and Fantomex’s departure from X-Force in #25. DARKHOLME A couple of days after I killed Bobby, I was still feeling the effects of the beating I had taken. My eye was no longer so swollen that I couldn’t see, but it wasn’t willing to open all the way yet either. Much of my face would surely have been black and blue, if it hadn’t been blue already. The rest of my body hadn’t taken as much damage as my face, fortunately. I’d just finished a cautious workout and had cleaned up and changed into sweatpants and a T shirt, but I still felt restless. Although the sun was going down, I wasn’t ready for bed yet. Perhaps If Logan hadn’t gone off to check on his School, I might have approached him for some sex, but that wasn’t an option and I just wasn’t in the mood to jerk myself off. Maybe some quiet time watching the sunset up on top of the butte that held Cavern X? Ja, that would be just the thing. A few beers and some solitude. Some time to think as the day ended. Maybe a bit of quiet meditation, to clear from my mind the memory of the hideous screams of a man who had once been my friend. Grabbing up a six pack of beer and a sweatshirt against the chill of the desert night, I ‘ported up to my favorite place on top of the butte. Imagine my dismay when I found it was already occupied – by Wade Wilson. WADE I knew who it was the moment I heard that noise he makes when he appears from out of nowhere. Damn, not him again! Can’t a guy get a little privacy around here? I was hoping to treat myself to a nice handjob. Hey, come on! You know we like to needle him. Lighten up. Could be fun. Yeah. I guess. So I turned around and greeted him cheerfully. “Well, if it’s not the Angry Elf. Glad to see ya. Pull up a chair.” Waving my arm in a grandiose gesture, I indicated the expanse of rocky space around us. “Well, pull up a rock might be a better suggestion.” He didn’t even crack a smile, but then his face was still pretty banged up, so maybe it hurt too much to smile. At first, I thought he was going to just leave in the usual puff of smoke, but he didn’t. Instead, he pulled on the sweatshirt he had in his hand, then walked over to the very edge of the cliff and sank down into a crouch, screwing the top off of one of his beer bottles and taking a deep swallow of the stuff before he spoke, his back to me. “Vhat are you doing here, Vade?” “Enjoying the sunset, of course. Just like you are, but without the booze. Whatsa matter? Trying to drown your sorrows? Or is this a celebration of your victory over the late, but unlamented, Iceman from your world?” His only reply was a disgusted snort, as he continued to stare off into the glare of the lowering sun, which was just about to touch the ragged outline of the horizon. A scattering of thin clouds in the western sky suggested it could turn into a colorful sunset. “Hey, you should be happy, seeing as how you scored a hit on your first target. Melting the Iceman! What an idea! Wish I could’ve been there to see it.” “If you had heard him scream, you vould not say that.” There was something about his voice that let me know I had hit a nerve. “Do I hear a hint of sorrow? Remorse?” “He vas once a good friend of mine.” “Well, if that’s how you treat your friends, then I’d really appreciate it if you’d count me as an enemy,” I replied, laughing. “Death is not funny.” “Maybe not to you, but I think it’s pretty hilarious. Even funnier when it’s someone you don’t like at all. I’m sure the son-of-a-bitch deserved every minute of it.” “Halt’s Maul, Schweinhund,” he growled menacingly. I laughed again, then moved over next to him and sat down with my legs dangling over the sheer cliff. “Come off it, pal. You think I don’t know that’s a nasty name you just called me, not to mention that it’s also a very impolite way to tell me to please keep my mouth shut?” He still wasn’t looking at me, but I saw him frown in profile. “Leck mich, Arschloch.” “I know that one too. Thanks for the invite, but I really don’t think we know each other well enough for me to want to lick your ass. But be careful what you ask for. You just may get it.” “Sprechen Sie Deutsch?” he asked, with the first hint of actual interest I had heard in his voice so far. He may even have glanced sideways at me, but with those blank eyes, who can tell for sure? “Can’t say I sprechen it very good, but I make it my business to know choice insults in various languages. Never know when you might need one, nicht wahr?” “Scheisskopf!” “Naughty, naughty! I know that one too.” “Mein Gott, first Logan and now you! Does the entire X-Force know German?!” he exclaimed, sounding very exasperated. “Don’t worry. Like I said, I only know the common cusswords.” That’s a lie! We speak pretty damn good German. So? He doesn’t need to know that. Without missing a beat, I continued, “If you tried reciting a couple of verses from the Bible, I seriously doubt I’d know what you were saying. But then, I don’t guess someone who looks like you would be quoting the Bible, would you, Elf?” He turned to look at me at last. Fire flared in those eerie red eyes. For a moment, I thought he was about to toss me over the edge of the cliff. Then he got himself under control. “I have told you many times not to call me Elf,” he said in a tone as buttoned down as a businessman’s shirt collar. Yeah, I was getting to him, all right. I held up my hands in mock defense. “OK, OK, you don’t like to be called Elf! I got that. So what should I call you?” “Darkholme vill do.” “Nah, I like nicknames better than real names. Let’s see now: how about we switch around the two middle letters of Kurt, then stick an “A” in the middle?” using my fingers to demonstrate what I was doing in mid-air. Pretending to study the word I had created, I finally nodded. “Yeah, that’s a good one. Given your accent and all, it suits you better than Elf anyway. I’ll call you -- Kraut.” He just closed his eyes and heaved a huge sigh. “What?” I asked, all innocence. “You don’t like that? OK, maybe I was wrong. You’re definitely a Kraut, but maybe you’re not an elf; maybe you’re really a fairy. Shall I call you Fairy?” “Und vhat do you mean by that?” His voice was as cold as the skin of the man he had recently killed. “Would you understand it better in German?” I answered lightly. “Sie sind ein Hinterlader. There. Is that clear enough?” I figured that obscene and insulting way of calling him a faggot would set him off, but instead he only looked at me calmly and replied, “Sie sind verrückt.” “Yeah, I know I’m crazy. So what’s new about that? Come on, tell me which nickname you like best and I’ll use it. I promise.” I made the cross my heart and hope to die gesture. He shook his head disgustedly. Once again staring out at the colors that had begun spreading across the sky, he asked mildly, “Vould you like to hear a story?” “Uh -- yeah. I’ll bite.” “Vhen I vas quite young, there vas someone who vould tickle me in order to make me laugh. I vas a very serious child and did not vant to laugh. She knew that, but did it anyway, just to annoy me. One day, I simply made up my mind that it vould no longer bother me. I vould not laugh.” “So what happened?” “After a few tries, she gave up. It vas no longer any fun.” He fixed me with a steady glare from those red-glowing eyes. “I have decided that it vill no longer matter vhat you call me. So go ahead. Call me Elf, if you vish, or call me Fairy, or call me Kraut. Macht nichts.” “It doesn’t matter, huh? Well, shit! And I was having so much fun. How about if I just call you Spoilsport?” He snorted and shrugged. “Okay, I know when I’ve been shot down. I’ll just stick with Kraut, since you don’t seem to care.” “Haven’t you figured out that it is not possible to insult someone by calling them something they are proud to be?” “Hmph! Why should you be proud to be German?” “Vell, for one thing, in my vorld, Europe, unlike America, vas not ruled by Apocalypse.” “Whoopie-Do! Unless that was your doing, there’s no reason to take credit for having been born there.” He frowned. “My mother vas involved in smuggling people to safety in Avalon, so I knew early on vhat vas happening in the outside vorld, and my sympathies vere vith the resistance.” “Your mother, huh? Is that the one we know as Mystique?” “Ja, natürlich.” “I’ve met her. Why doesn’t she have an accent like yours?” “She’s not only a shapeshifter, but she can also imitate the voice of vhatever form she has taken. That being the case, she’s able to easily adopt any accent she vishes. I don’t have that talent. I learned English as a second language, so it is not natural to me, even now. Besides, I like the accent. It reminds people around here that I am from another continent.” “So it sort of makes you a living embodiment of the fact that things are better in Europe, even in your wretched world, right?” “Ja. I could probably lose the accent if I tried, but I do not vant to.” “Uh-huh. Makes you better than the rest of those poor dupes who had to live with Apocalypse.” “Not necessarily better, but certainly different. In my vorld, Germany is a country to be proud of.” “Even with the history you guys had with Hitler? Or didn’t that happen in your universe?” “It happened. But ve have redeemed ourselves since then.” “OK, Kraut, I get it.” We spent a few minutes admiring the blazing colors in the sky before I went on to needle him further. “But I still know what’s going on between you and our fearless leader.” “Und vhat is that supposed to mean?” “Means ole Logan is fucking you, that’s what.” “Und vhy vould you think that?” “Well, for starters, I heard that Logan took Kurt’s death pretty hard, if they were only friends. Then there were some rumors floating around that those two had something going on, if ya know what I mean.” I gave him a meaningful look, then cocked my head sideways and smirked. “On top of all that, I’ve seen how the boss man looks at you when you aren't looking." I was going out on a limb a little ways here. Although I was pretty sure it was true, I wanted to get him to admit it. He snorted disdainfully. “Vell, you are half right anyvay.” “To quote what you just said, ‘Und vhat’s that supposed to mean?’” “Very simple. Means sometimes Logan is fucking me, and other times I’m fucking him.” That gave me pause. I honestly didn’t think it would be so easy for him to admit it, and not quite like that. “Oh. OK. Maybe you’ve got more balls than I’m giving you credit for, if you can make the Wolverine bend over and pick up the soap.” “I don’t make him. He likes it as much as I do.” “Is that so?” “Ja. That is so. So vhat?” “So, does that make you two lovers?” “Nein. Ve are just vhat you vould call fuck buddies. There is no emotional attachment beyond that.” “So you say. What does Logan say about it?” “I don’t know. I haven’t bothered to ask him.” “Kind of a cold fish, ain’t ya?” He fixed me with a hard stare before he replied. I could practically see the flames that stoked the fire behind those glowing red eyes. “In this line of vork, ve have to be cold, nicht wahr?” “Yeah, guess you’ve got a point there.” I shrugged. “I’m no romantic myself.” I broke away from his glare to glance quickly down over my body. “Now, considering what I look like underneath this outfit, there’s no one who’d bother to want me, romantically or otherwise.” Yeah, that’s it. Understated self-degradation. Let him think he should pity you. Maybe it’ll make him curious. Maybe he’ll offer us a mercy fuck. Would you take his pity? I thought you had more pride. Oh, I do. But it would be better than nothing. There really is a sort of sexiness about him. Especially sitting crouched like that, with his legs spread so far apart. I eyed the crotch of those sweatpants he was wearing, wondering briefly what was under them. Probably a cock as blue as he is. Yeah, but is it all furry, like a dog? Hell, how should I know? Maybe we can find out. You don’t mean that. Do you? Maybe I do. Logan sure ain’t no sissy and he seems to be enjoying the Elf. Hmm. Maybe you’ve got a point there. Not real sure how to get into his pants though. Oh, I think we could find a way, if we put our mind to it. DARKHOLME Not much of Wade is visible in that outfit he always wears except his eyes, but I could see out of the corner of my own eyes exactly what he was looking at when he glanced over at me, without him realizing I could notice. Was it possible he wanted to have sex with me? What is it with the people in this world? Are they all sexually frustrated or just constantly horny? Then again, what would it be like, with someone like Wade? Was there anything I could do to him without totally disgusting myself? Or anything he could do to me? I could tell that my curiosity was starting to get the better of my judgement, but was that necessarily bad? I do rather like him. He can be irritating at times, but I admire his courage, and he does have some pretty good moves. I don’t think he’s as inane as he pretends to be either. Many of his remarks contain a certain amount of sardonic humor, not to mention an occasional acute insight. I think there’s more to him than he shows to others, but I don’t know quite what it is. Might be interesting to try to find out what’s behind his mask, both figuratively and literally. But then, we all wear masks, don’t we? Well, literally speaking, I don’t. However, a man can be wearing an impenetrable mask even if his face is completely visible to others. I should know. I’ve done it all my life. Sometimes I even think I’ve hidden from myself, in an effort to survive the unsurvivable. WADE The silence stretched rather uncomfortably between us as the sun disappeared further below the jagged horizon. I wondered what he was thinking. “You realize that we’re all imaginary, don’t you?” I asked him. “None of this is real. I’m just making up the whole superhero fantasy thing.” “Hmph! Philosophers have been coming up vith that sort of nonsense for ages. Granted, it’s pretty much impossible to actually prove one’s own existence, but that doesn’t change anything, as long as ve think ve exist.” “No, really. It’s all just my fantasy.” He shrugged. “Have it your vay. But if it’s all your doing, couldn’t you make it a nicer fantasy vhile you’re at it?” All right, he’s the first one to react that way when I tell them the truth about the world. “Hmm. Got to think on that for a while.” “You do that.” It got quiet again. I don’t like quiet, not even with a beautiful sunset spreading across the sky. “You remember the day we were in the Danger Room that looked like a bar?” “Ja. Vhat about it?” “You might have thought you were impressing us with your derring-do and fighting skills, but you came across as nothing but a loud-mouthed blowhard.” He hesitated a moment, then replied, “I guess I may have overdone it a little.” I’d have looked pretty surprised at that casual admission, if he’d been able to see my face. I had expected my insult to provoke rage or denial. “Yeah, you kinda did,” I replied. “But the swordplay was pretty damn good.” He actually smiled. Or maybe he just wanted an excuse to bare his fangs at me. “Danke.” He raised his bottle of beer to his mouth and drained it in a couple of swallows, then replaced the empty neatly in the cardboard holder. Picking up a bottle, he held it out to me. “You vant one?” “Uh, yeah. Thanks.” He helped himself to another and opened it. I did the same with mine, forcing myself not to hesitate when I lifted my mask far enough to allow me to drink. I felt uncomfortable having part of my face exposed, so I covered my discomfort with a quip. “Gonna try to get me drunk so you can have your way with me, Kraut?” DARKHOLME Wade’s voice said he was kidding, but the bulge of his uniform in the area of his crotch said otherwise. It can be very useful to have no visible pupils in one’s eyes, as other people cannot tell precisely what you’re looking at. Taking a swig of my beer, I turned and faced him directly. “Maybe. It all depends.” He took the bait, asking, “On what?” “Vhether or not you vish to be taken advantage of.” “Ha! I’m almost as hard to get drunk as Logan is, since I’ve got a healing factor also, even if it can’t seem to get rid of the cancer that keeps trying to eat me up.” He cocked his beer bottle at my face. “Too bad you don’t have one, huh? It would come in handy about now.” He had a point there. My right eye was still swollen half-closed. “I’ll be fine,” I retorted. “Besides, I don’t think I’d need to get you drunk. You vant me to fuck you as it is.” “I – might be persuaded,” he replied, ostentatiously studying the bottle in his hand. “It’s been a long time. Gorgeous girls don’t exactly stand in line to tear my clothes off, since the word is out about what they’ll find underneath.” “So you’re maybe desperate enough to make do vith a handsome devil like me?” “Maybe. If you think you can handle it.” I shrugged. “You can stop bitching and moaning about how awful you look. In my vorld, you vere not so careful to keep your face covered, so I have a pretty good idea of vhat’s underneath your uniform. I’ve seen raw hamburger that vas more appealing.” “Really? You knew me? Uh – him?” “Ja.” I nodded. “You vere called Deadman Wade. And you are indeed dead in my vorld, since I killed you.” “Did you? Ohh, I’m afraid.” “It vas easy. I teleported his head off.” “Yeah, I’ve seen you try that trick a few times here. I didn’t think our Elf could choose to ‘port just part of someone’s body.” “Maybe he just never tried. I realized I could do it fairly early on. All it takes is concentrating hard enough on vhat I intend to take along and vhat I intend to leave behind. If I don’t do that, the entire person or object that I’m touching automatically comes vith me. First time I tried it vith a living person, I took his finger off. Your head vas more complicated, as I had to make multiple ‘ports in order to hide it in a crater outside Avalon so no one could find it and re-attach it quickly enough.” I shrugged. “Not that there vas anyone around who might have done that, but I had to be sure.” “And it worked?” “If he survived, I never found out about it.” I drank more of my beer. “You vere crazier in my vorld. And more dangerous in that craziness than you are here. It seemed as if you thought you vere doing people a favor by killing them.” I shrugged. “At least here, the only one you seem to vant to kill is yourself, if you could figure out a vay to do it.” “Hell, wouldn’t you want to also, if you looked like me?” “Perhaps. But I do not look like you, Gott sei Dank!” “For someone who has no use for Christianity, you take God’s name in vain a lot.” I shook my head. “It is an expression, nothing more. But ve vere not discussing God.” WADE “If I remember correctly, we were discussing sex.” “Ja.” “It’s been ages since I’ve screwed anyone,” I said nonchalantly. “Hell, I don’t even like to look at myself in the mirror without my clothes on.” That last bit about the mirror is really true, so I’m sure it sounded entirely convincing. No, it sounded pathetic, that’s all. He’s never going to believe you, much less react the way you want him to. Why not? He’s got to know how it feels to have people revolted by his appearance, after all. Not everyone wants to cuddle up with a blue devil whose eyes glow, you know. Keep telling yourself that, loser. If it’s a choice between both of you stark naked, I say the devil wins hands down. Hey, whose side are you on, anyway? “There are things I am villing to do vith my hands that I may not vish to do vith other parts of my body,” the Kraut replied calmly. I knew he was trying to project less interest than he really felt, since his sweatpants hadn’t gotten any flatter since the last time I looked. I’ve got him now! I’m gonna have the Big Bad Wolverine’s boy toy! Is that what this is all about? You just want to play with one of Logan’s toys? Well, no. I really am pretty horny, and he’s not too hard on the eyes, once you get used to him. Is that all? OK, OK! So maybe I’m kind of lonely. Maybe I want someone to desire me, as repulsive as I am. I want someone to look beneath the surface and want me. I admit it. Are you satisfied now? Uh-huh. Just wanted to make sure you know just how crazy you are, that’s all. No one’s going to do that. I wouldn’t be so sure of that, if I were you. You are me, remember? Oh yeah. Thanks for the reminder. DARKHOLME After a moment’s hesitation, Wade asked, “Like what?” “Logan has taught me very vell how to find a man’s prostate, vith or vithout using mein Schwanz.” I paused to see if he knew the obscene double meaning of the word for tail. I was fairly certain he knew much more German than he let on, especially since he had used the proper version of “you” earlier in our conversation. Someone who only learned the curse words wouldn’t be likely to have studied the finer points of pronoun usage.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
