When Darkness Falls

[Deadpool]

Intruders

Deadpool felt a rush of adrenaline through his body and pulled out his sword. “I’ll take these intruders.” Deadpool let out a roar like sound and charged towards the group, hitting the biggest on the forehead with the handle of his cutlass. The huge brute fell for what felt like hours and finally landed with a ‘THUD’. Deadpool, shocked by his actions, stood ready to face the next man.

The man with the knife rushed and swiped at Deadpool, but wasn’t fast enough. Deadpool slapped the knife out of his hand and threw him to the floor next to the other man. As the bandit went for the knife, Deadpool kicked it toward Phil who stared in amazement. “Get him you fools!!” The two other bandits rushed towards Deadpool as commanded.

The two tackled Deadpool and held him to the floor. “We got him!” One of them knocked his cutlass out of his hand. Phil rushed to help him, but was knocked unconscious by their leader. “You don’t survive in this world by being a mindless buffoon.” said the bandit as he chuckled at Phil. The three of them surrounded Deadpool. “Get him to his feet.” His two lackeys grabbed Deadpool by the arms and held him up.

“I’ll make you a deal you can’t refuse mate, join us and I let these pitiful peasants live.” Deadpool looked at the bandit with great confusion. “I could use someone of your fighting skills in my crew.” The bandit stuck his hand out. “Well, what do you say? You join me they live. You don’t I kill them and you.”

Deadpool thought long and hard about it, and then finally let out a sigh in defeat. “I’ll join you, just let them go first.”

“Wise decision, my friend.” Deadpool grabbed his hand and a smile ran across his face. “I knew you’d like coming along with me instead of being boarded up in th--“ out of nowhere Deadpool unleashed a bone crushing headbutt to the man. The man staggered over to the window in a daze. Without warning Deadpool ran and pushed the bandit out of the window.

“Let’s get out of here!” said one of the last two bandits as they ran out of the house. “Is that… you?” one of them said to Deadpool on his way out. “What? Get outta my sight before you end up like yer boss out there.” The bandit raced out the door after his friend. Phil came back to his senses. “I thought you said you didn’t know how to fight?”

“I thought I didn’t. Are ye alright?” Deadpool helped Phil to his feet. “I’ve been through worse.” Phil sent his family off to bed and brought Deadpool to the kitchen to talk. “Are ye sure you don’t remember anything of yer past mate?”

“I don’t recall anything before waking up your barn.” Deadpool’s vision started to fade. Everything around him went black. “What’s happening?” A bright light caught his attention. “What is that? Phil is that you?” The light came closer and closer to him. “Stay back, I’m warning you!” Deadpool reached for his cutlass, but it wasn’t there.
