Hayden opened her eyes and blinked against the harsh light beaming down from above her. She raised her hand slightly to cover her face and tried to get her other hand to push her upright, but it was proving difficult as she felt very weak and heavy. As she got used to the light, she noticed a woman in a white lab coat with dark red hair busy paging through some paperwork on a nearby desk nearby, her back facing her.

She finally managed to prop herself up after much effort, when a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder and gently guided her to lie back against the headboard, she winced at the stinging heat that came from the source of the touch; and when she whipped her head to the left she found that Nathan was standing over her.

“Get your hand off of me, prick,” she glared at him.

“She seems fine to me,” she looked to her other side to see a man wearing a singular red lens that was strapped from temple to temple across his eyes.

“Who the hell are you? Where’s Wade?”

“You need to relax,” the woman finally spoke, her voice was soft and kind. “I’m Jean, this is Scott, and I can assure you that we’re both here to help,”

“Not the best thing to say to her,” Nathan warned, crossing his arms and taking a seat next to her bed. “And as for the tool, he’s outside annoying the others,”

She nodded and looked at the other two, “You work for Xavier don’t you?” she sighed.

“With him, we’re not his slaves,” Scott corrected.

“You may as well be with all the rules he has you following, talk about your Prisoner of War camp-” Wade said as he entered the room, he moved to Hayden’s side immediately, making Scott have to walk to another part of the room.

“Shut up, dipstick,” Nathan grunted, “Unlike you, we’re actually trying to help.”

“Um, excuse me? Who was the one who brought her back after she collapsed?” Wade huffed in disbelief.

“Me, because you were busy shrieking like a scared little girl, and flailing your arms around like a complete and utter moron,” Nathan retorted.

“Technically by getting your attention, I did help,” he argued.

“No, you didn’t,”

“Well then, who ran the tests to see what was wrong with her?”

“I did, because I’m the qualified doctor and you almost broke the machine with all your button-pushing,” Jean sighed, holding the clipboard she had gathered against her chest.

“But then you pushed the right button, because of me.” he looked at Jean and she shook her head, “No? Alright, then who-”

“Wilson, just give up already,” Scott exhaled loudly and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Anyway…” Jean cleared her throat and walked over to the bed, “Hayden,”

“Hades,” she corrected her right away.

“Hades, okay. Well, I’ve been running a few tests on you to see what was wrong, and all I can really say is I’m stunned, I’ve never seen anything like this before.” she tapped the clipboard. “And I’ve seen a good handful of mutants with cell regeneration before you, but this, it’s unbelievable,”

“When you were asleep most of your cells were collapsing in themselves, as if they were dying. Well of course they were dying, but… I’m sorry it’s crazy,” she shook her head. “Does this happen a lot to you?”

“Yeah,” she shrugged, “It’s nothing special, I just get stronger after someone, or something, stronger than me kicks my ass, it’s like a… A survival mechanism that goes into overdrive,”

“I see,” Jean nodded, “And you must know that your immune system is vulnerable right now since it’s trying to regenerate again,”

“Yeah,” Hayden nodded, while brushing her arm to stop the sudden chill she had.

“So when Juggernaut tossed you round like a ragdoll earlier, your body started to kill its own cells, and knock you out in the process?” Nathan asked.

“Pretty much,”

“How the hell didn’t I know about this?” Wade asked, “Did it just slip your mind that this might be important? Even just a little bit?”

“I didn’t say anything because I didn’t think I’d fight someone that strong again, it sure as hell didn’t seem like a possibility,” she argued and now brushed both arms to warm herself up. “Why’s it so cold, can we turn up the temperature here?”

Jean looked at the others and they all shook their heads, “I think you’re the only one who’s getting cold Hades,” she put down the clipboard and then grabbed a thermometer, “Open your mouth please,”

“What? I’m fine, it’s noth-” she frowned heavily when the thermometer was put in her mouth, “‘ey, rude,”

“Don’t talk,” Jean instructed and Hades complied despite her initial complaining, she eyed her watch and after a few moments removed the thermometer and looked at it.

“I told you I’m fine, you’ll see for yourself,”

She shook her head, “Your temperature is already five degrees lower than it should be,” she frowned and pressed her hand against Hayden’s forehead, “It’s like you’re hypothermic, and yet, you feel fine?”

“Like I said, it’s happened before,” she rubbed her arms more, “I’m just used to being alone when this happens,” she eyed everyone for a moment.

“Right, well maybe we should leave you until you’re ready,” she pressed a button on the side of the bed and a holographic monitor flickered up above the bedrest.

It showed a bunch of statistics including her heart rate, temperature and blood cell composition, most of which were already beginning to drop slowly in count as they looked at it.

“Is all this really necessary?” she poked at the heart rate section, a strange noise beeped out and she scrunched her face slightly, she was quick to grip the shirt at her chest, “Ow, ow- okay,” she breathed out, “Just a cramp, nothing serious,”

“You’ve got some nerve calling a heart cramp, ‘nothing serious’,” Nathan looked at her with a raised brow.

“What the hell does it matter to you, old man? Why are you even here?” she scowled at him despite taking erratic breaths.

“Hey I’m the one who carried you here, remember?” he stood up from his seat, “No thanks necessary, princess,” he headed towards the door.

“Hey, I didn’t ask for your help asshole!” she sat upright and then winced immediately after, grabbing the side of the bed and gasped as her heart cramped again.

Wade soothed her backside and made her sit against the headboard, her skin was paling again and she closed her eyes for a few seconds as she adjusted to the new level of pain.

“Hayden, I think I should give you something to ease the pain,” Jean turned around and started scratching through drawers, eventually pulling out an unused needle and then searching through the various medications for the right solution.

“It’s fine Jean, don’t worry about me,” Hayden raised a hand, “My skin can’t be pierced, and oral drugs don’t work either,” Wade snickered when she said ‘oral’ and she gave him a look before continuing, “Trust me when I say, I’ve tried everything.”

“So, how do we help you then?” Scott asked with serious concern in his voice.

“Honestly the best thing you could do is leave me alone,” she pulled another face while Wade sat down in a chair next to her bed, “Wade, I’m serious, you have to go too. This isn’t something you wanna see,”

“I think we have to do as she says,” Scott nodded and looked at Jean, whose shoulders dropped as she agreed with them.

“You know yourself better than I do,” she looked defeated, “But you will shout if you need me right?”

“Yeah, if I need you,” she flinched and rubbed her chest, “Ah… You guys better go,” they slowly made their way out, “I’ll be fine in about an hour, you’ll see,”

“You better be,” Wade looked at her seriously as he was standing at the door, she managed to give him a small smile and he returned it, giving her a salute before closing the door behind him.

Wade threw himself against the wall and slid down to the floor, groaning into his hands and then lifting his head when he realised Nathan was sitting across from him in the hallway.

“I thought you’d left,” he tilted his chin up.

“Yeah, well, got nothin’ else to do,” he grumbled, he was focused on cleaning out his nails with a pocket knife, flicking the dirt he scraped out somewhere else. “How’s princess holdin’ up in there?”

They heard a loud moan and looked towards the door, “By the sounds of it, not much better,” he sighed. “This is my fault,”

Nathan raised a brow at him, “Her cells regenerating is your fault how?”

“If she hadn’t come looking for me, she wouldn’t have gotten hurt in the first place,”

“She chose to come after you, God knows why,”

“No need to be jealous,”

“Jealous? The fuck do I have to be jealous for? You and your psycho lady friend can get yourselves killed for all I care,” he huffed and went back to cleaning his nails.

“You say that, but your eyes say something else,” Wade chuckled, “I know you like to act like the grumpiest fuck on earth, but you’re a softie deep-down, deep, deep down, under all that crust, and hate-”

“Dumbass,” he muttered, making Wade smile.

Behind closed doors the monitors started alarming with various sounds, and Nathan stood to his feet without thinking, he barged into the room despite Wade calling him back and found Hayden curled up in a foetal position. Her whole body was trembling and when he reached her side she sat up too quickly, letting out a shaky breath as she looked at him, her eyes were barely staying open.

“Cable- the hell are you, you doing here?” she doubled over, her arms wrapping around her waist and he noticed her scars pulsated a faint violet colour several times under her nearly blue skin.

“You sounded like you needed company,” he placed his cyborg hand on her shoulder and she stiffened.

“Don’t. Touch. Me.” she growled and he removed his hand quickly, “Get out, now.”

“I’m staying whether you like it or not,” he sat down in the chair and crossed his arms, “I’ve seen that pained look behind the eyes before, you say you’re fine, but you’re lying so that nobody worries about you,”

She tried to laugh at him but ended up wheezing instead, “You think I sent them out to ease their worries?” she moved back onto the bed and gasped as her head hit the pillow, “I did it for their own d-damn safety,”

He noticed that her heart beat was slowing down even further, and her temperature was dropping rapidly, but despite that she seemed to have sweat beading on her face. He stood up and walked over to her, “Is there anything I can do?”

“Leave, you can just leave,” she tried to shoo him with her arm but was too weak, he took her arm and started examining it with his cyborg eye. “Hey, get off!” she tried to push him away and he stepped back, causing her to roll off of the bed and onto the floor with a definite thud. “Ah! Fuck!”

“Shit, sorry,” he bent down to reach for her and she deftly smacked his hands away, he then stepped back and watched as she took a few deep breaths, before reaching up to the frame of the bed and grabbing it.

“Would you just leave me alone? You’re n-not helping,” she didn’t even look at him as she spoke, instead trying to get her other hand to grab the frame as well. Once she was clutching it she tried to pull herself up, but the metal buckled underneath her grip.

It was starting to crack when Nathan moved behind her, placing his hands underneath her arms and lifting her up with ease, she released the frame in surprise and immediately crossed her arms once he placed her back onto the bed.

“I didn’t n-need your help,”

“Yeah, cause you had everything under control, right?” he sat back in the chair, crossing his arms as they stared at each other.

“Whatever,” she finally spoke up, and forced herself to lie back in bed. “Just don’t blame me for whatever... Whatever trauma you get out of this,”

He sat up, watching her curiously, her eyes were blinking slowly and her breathing was clearly laboured, “Is this as far as it goes?” He waited for her to answer and frowned after a few moments. “Hades?”

He stood from his seat only to realise that her body had stiffened, the monitor had been beeping and he hadn’t even heard it until he stood next to it, her eyes were glazed over, completely lifeless. He gave her a onceover, and an overwhelming sense of panic had nearly prevented him from thinking clearly, until he took a breath and tilted her head back.

He spread his hands out on her chest and pressed them down firmly, repeating the motion several times, he pressed firmer each time and gritted his teeth as he stood back. “C’mon kid,”

He shook his head as the monitor showed no response, he did a few more chest compressions and then took a deep breath, lowering his face to hers and preparing to put his mouth onto hers when she gasped loudly underneath him and he jumped back in surprise. “Jesus!”

She coughed for a few seconds, trying to sit up before shaking her head and facing him, “What the hell were you doing?” she looked down at his hands which were still on her chest and he promptly pulled them away.

“CPR, you were dead a few minutes ago-”

“Yeah, I know,” she nodded at the monitor, and he saw the levels were going up, “Happens every time, that’s why I wanted to be alone.”

“Right,” he nodded along, staring at the monitor now, “So that’s it, you just up and die, then spring back to life like nothin’ happened?”

“Yeah,”

Nathan walked back over to his chair and sat down, looking dumbfounded, “I don’t get it. You’re not a mutant, but you’re a lot like that dumbass,” he gestured outside to where Wade was waiting.

“It’s a long story,” she swung her legs over the bed and started to stretch out her arms and backside. “What?”

“Shouldn’t you rest? I mean, I might be wrong here, but you did just die and all,”

“Nah,” she waved her hand, “I’m fine, see?” she pointed to the monitor and he saw that all her levels had returned to normal, he looked back at her and scanned her with his cyborg eye.

“You really need to stop doing that,”

“Doing what?” he tilted his head slightly.

“That creepy thing, with your eye,” she gestured, “It feels like you’re looking under my clothes or something,” she shuddered.

“Sorry,” he grunted, “And for the record I’m not doing that. Do I look like a pervert?”

“Look I don’t know you, I’m just being wary,”

“After seeing you kick Juggernaut’s ass, you really think I wanna mess with you?” he leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, “I’m not stupid enough to sign my own death sentence princess,”

“You’re still an asshole though,” she stood up and looked at the door, “I don’t know why you saved Wade, but it doesn’t forgive what you did in the first place, and neither does staying here with me, understand?” he looked up at her and sat back when he noticed her eyes had changed again, “And don’t call me princess,”

He only nodded as he watched her walk out of the room, and then he shook his head and frowned, getting up from his seat and leaving the room as well.

* * *

After roughly two weeks the three of them settled into their new home, Domino spent most of her time with the children that had been rescued from the so-called rehabilitation centre, Nathan was slowly getting accustomed to living in their time despite his initial annoyance that everything required manual input on his part; while Hayden had taken the longest to settle in, she wasn’t used to living with many people except for Wade and Vanessa, and even then it was a brief stay, and she kept her distance as best as she could.

Nathan could see she was getting agitated by the littlest of things, she was clearly not sleeping well given the dark rings that had formed under her eyes, and whenever Wade tried to interact with her she would snap at him and tell him to leave her alone. He said nothing when she sat on the couch opposite him, she curled up with her phone and listened to music with her eyes shut, her skin would sometimes start glowing before settling again, and she would sit still for hours on end without speaking with anybody unless they dared to speak to her first.

Most nights she did seem to snap out of her trance and join them for dinner, and she became surprisingly social and friendly, but other nights she simply went to her room and only came out the next day to repeat the routine she had set. And since he started thinking about it, he couldn’t recall her eating very often at all, and he was annoyed that he couldn’t figure out how she was still even alive at this point, it wasn’t human at all, but she wasn’t mutant either as she claimed.

The water rushed down around Hayden from every angle, she was trapped in a large tank that was quickly filling up and the air was getting thinner and thinner by the minute, every breath beginning to feel like it may be her last as she kept paddling furiously to keep herself above the water.

“Let me out, please!” she begged and tried to bang on the sealed opening with her fists. She could feel herself slipping under as she was losing energy, the gap was closing between the ceiling and the water and she was panicking.

“Please!” she gasped for one last breath, slipping beneath the torrent, she managed to open her eyes and pressed herself against the glass to see her father, his arms crossed as he stared at her emotionless.

She opened her mouth to scream, only to realise too late that she was releasing the last of the air she had in her lungs, the bubbles escaped to the top of the tank and she choked as the water filled in its place. It wasn’t long before she lost her consciousness, the world went black and her heart stopped beating in her ears.

Hayden gasped as she sat up in her bed, gripping the sheets in her hands for a moment, sweat was dripping down her forehead, she took a few deep breaths when she realised where she was, and moved off of the bed. She was unsettled for umpteenth night in a row, so she grabbed her go-to kit, and headed to the rec room to escape the nightmare that played back in her mind, at the very least she would feel less trapped in the bigger room.

She tiptoed past the other bedrooms as quietly as she could, as the floors were old wood that tended to creak whenever they were stepped on, and made her way down the stairs quietly. She reached the couch, sitting with her legs up and leaning forward, she put the earphones in and pressed play and then crossed her arms over her legs and rocked slowly back and forth. She let the tears begin to stream down her cheeks as she tried to breathe to remain calm, she ducked her head down and shut her eyes tightly.

Nathan took in a deep breath before he leaned over her, his lips a mere inch away from hers, when they touched and he found that they were soft. Ridiculously soft, if it weren’t for the current situation he felt like he would linger for some time, he forced the air out of his lungs and into hers.

She was unresponsive, but it was rare that the first attempt would give immediate results, so he tried again, and again, and again. She remained still, lifeless. He moved his head back and looked over her features, her eyes were glassed over, the pain still reflecting behind the empty gaze, and her skin was ice cold beneath his hands that rested on her chest.

He spread his hands out on her chest and pressed them down firmly, repeating the motion several times, he pressed firmer each time and gritted his teeth as he stood back. “C’mon kid,” he leaned over and pressed his lips onto hers and breathed air into her before compressing her chest once again.

He shook his head as the monitor showed no response, he did a few more chest compressions and then took a step back and ran his hand through his hair. If he had just tried harder, if he had only come back to her sooner.

He stared at Hayden with hot tears that were fighting to fall from his eyes, her dead unblinking stare was focused on the ceiling. He collapsed into a nearby chair and put his face in his hands, his body shuddered as the tears flooded out.

Nathan breathed heavily as he shook his head back to reality, sitting up in bed before standing up and then washed his face from sweat and hot tears that had shedded in his sleep; he dried his face with a towel before looking hard at himself in the mirror, his cyborg eye was glowing dimly back at him.

“What the hell is going on with you, Summers?” he asked himself.

He walked back to the bed, uncertain if he would be able to fall asleep after that nightmare, he sat down on the bed letting out a big sigh and rubbed his face with his hands. He closed his eyes and fell back into the bed, trying his hardest to block out all the thoughts that rushed in, but he heard what sounded like someone crying which caught his attention and that made him sit up, he tried to focus on where it was coming from.

He glanced at his alarm clock. It’s one in the morning. Who else could be up? He wondered, then he heard the sound a little louder and realised it was coming from down stairs in the rec room. His curiosity got the better of him, so he threw on a jacket and pants before he left his room to find the source.

Nathan rounded the wall of the stairs and recognised the glowing light right away, it was a mix of white and dim violet, Hayden was holding herself tightly and sobbing on the couch by herself, listening to her music again. He felt his heart ache for some reason, but compared to the nightmare he had had earlier, this was preferable to see and it gave him a sense of relief.

Without hesitation he made his way over, sitting down next to her which startled her and she nearly screamed, but he covered her mouth before she could.

He quickly removed her earphones and spoke quietly, “It’s me, Cable,”

She grabbed his wrist and yanked his hand away, and whispered, “You scared the shit out of me asshole! And hey, don’t touch the earphones!” She grabbed them back and bundled everything onto her lap.

“Alright, alright. Calm down,” he moved back slightly and she frowned at him.

“Calm down? You can’t sneak up on someone like that and expect them be calm,”

“Why are you here in the middle of the night?”

“Why are you here?”

“Because I was awake, and I heard someone crying. Now I’m asking again, why’re you down here?”

She leaned back into the couch, crossing her arms, “Can’t sleep.”

“When’s the last time you got a good night’s rest?” he asked, leaning back into the couch as well, she shrugged. “Let me guess, nightmares?”

She nodded, “Why were you awake?”

“Nightmares,”

“Why do you get nightmares, isn’t the future supposed to be some kind of Utopia?” she leaned her head back onto the couch, and turned her head slightly to look at him.

“The future isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, there’s a lot of shit to deal with,” he disagreed, “You’re young, so what exactly do you get nightmares about?”

“Present isn’t all it’s cracked up to be either,” the corner of her mouth twitched into a smile, “Been through a lot more shit than you might think,” she moved her head back and closed her eyes, “You know I’m not sure why I’m even talking to you, Wade’s the only person I trust,”

“Well you can stop talking anytime you’d like,” he suggested, hoping there was no tone in his voice.

“I guess you’re right,” she agreed and made herself more comfortable, “I didn’t want to wake him though, losing Vanessa has really hit him hard, as much as he’s been playing it off like it’s nothing,”

“I was the same when I lost my family,”

“Were you though?” she asked.

“I suppose he was more suicidal and I was more uh…”

“Homicidal,”

“Yeah,”

“To a kid, and I’m not judging, I'm just, connecting the pieces.” she paused for a moment, “I suppose I should be thanking you,”

“For what?”

“Coming down here and checking on me, you could’ve just as easily walked away,”

“Don’t mention it,”

“And thank you for going back and saving Wade, that must have been a tough decision to make,”

“As much as the guy annoys me, he seemed to be important to a lot of people, I was only doing what was right,”

“Mm,” she hummed.

He leaned forward off the couch and looked back at her, wanting to ask more but stopped and watched her, her chest was rising and falling slowly and her face had softened from her irritated demeanour she first had. “Hades?” He gently shook her leg and she moved slightly, but said nothing.

He stood up and leaned over her, managing to scoop her from the couch and walked carefully with her in his arms up the stairs to the rooms, when he reached hers he approached her bed and then lowered her slowly onto it. He then took her blanket and covered her, tucking her in like she was a child, he stepped back and smiled at his handiwork. I still got it.

Nathan left her room and went to his own, and his eyes fell on the teddy bear that belonged to his daughter, he walked over to it and picked it up. He thought for a moment and then took the stuffed animal back with him to Hayden’s room, he placed it under the blanket next to her and held his breath when she stirred, only for her to wrap her arms around the teddy and continue sleeping.

He walked out of the room and turned around when he reached the door, “Sweet dreams kid, Hope will keep you company tonight,” he whispered before closing the door quietly behind him.

* * *

Hayden woke in the morning feeling well rested for the first time in two weeks, she frowned at the fuzzy soft warmth that she had unknowingly cuddled during her sleep, when she could see clearly she realised it was Nathan’s daughter’s teddy bear.

She sat up and eyed the bear curiously. So this is what normal children have? I wonder how old she is.

A soft knock on her door tore her away from her thoughts, it opened just a little and Nathan’s voice spoke through the gap, “Okay to come in?”

“Yeah I guess,” she placed the bear on her lap and watched as he settled himself on the foot of her bed.

“How you holdin’ up kid?” He looked genuinely concerned.

“I was holdin’ up, fine until you just called me ‘kid’, I’m twenty-eight not ten,” she raised a brow at him.

“Fine, but you’re a terrible liar, Hades,”

“Sue me, I just woke up,”

“Been that long since you had decent sleep, huh?” he asked smugly.

She sighed, “Yeah, thanks for uh, last night.”

“Last night! What happened last night?” a dramatic gasp came from Wade who was waiting in the doorway, “Did you two fuck last night?”

“Jesus.” They both said; they looked at each other before looking back at Wade, and a small smirk appeared on his face as he glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

“You two fucked with Jesus?” Wade looked even more shocked, “Why didn’t you call me? We could have made it a party!”

“Because out of all the people you’re the most sinful shithead in the world Wade, Jesus would burn in your presence alone,” she shook her head.

“Ooh baby’s got some fire in her today,” Wade smiled, making him roll his eyes and move further to the edge of the bed when Wade decided to jump onto it in-between them.

“Watch it,” he growled, the soft expression and concern he had moments ago vanished.

As if Nathan hadn’t threatened him, Wade had wrapped his arms around both of their necks and hugged them close to his head, they both squirmed uncomfortably as their faces squished against his, but Wade took no notice.

“Look at my two amigos getting along so well, huh!” he laughed, “We make a great threesome, speaking of, wouldn’t it be fun to-” They each escaped from his hold and grabbed his arms, before twisting them and hearing an audible popping sound from both sockets, Wade yelled at the sudden pain.

“Ooh yeah Mommy and Daddy know just how Baby likes it-” They both dropped his arms and gave him a disgusted look. “What, just me?” He looked down at his limp arms and practically squealed, “It’s too early in the fucking morning to deal with this bullshit!” he stood up, his arms dangling loosely on either side of him.

“No, it’s too early in the morning to deal with your antics Wade,” she corrected.

“I was just thinking the same thing,” Nathan agreed.

“How the fuck am I supposed to have my morning masturbation now?” Wade whined as he swung his arms around, “Unless, Cable-”

“Fuck no.”

“Wade?” She stood up from her bed, placing the bear carefully on the bed and approached him.

“We have a volunteer!” he cheered.

“Eww no, get out, that’s what I wanted to say,” she started pushing him towards the door, and once he was out she closed the door on him before he could argue.

“And he’s your... Brother?”

“Honorary brother, a decision I’m regretting every day,” she sighed but smiled regardless, and sat down on the bed again. “I love him like a brother, but sometimes his crap is just too much.”

“You’ve known him for a long time, haven’t you? I mean to put up with all that crap.”

“About six years now I’d say,”

“And you still hang around him? How the hell do you tolerate it?”

“He… He helped me, let’s say, to escape when I didn’t even realise that I was in danger,”

“Escaped, from where?”

“Ironically I think I could say hell,” she forced a laugh, “Even after all this time I still get nightmares about that place,”

“It’s been years since I was introduced to this thing,” he gestured to the metal half of his body, “I still get nightmares from the day it was introduced to me,”

She nodded and tilted her head to the side, “Is it some kind of illness?”

“It’s called the T.O Virus, it’s techno-organic. Turns living tissue into metal tech, very deadly, very painful,” he raised his left arm and examined it. “The only reason this thing hasn’t killed me yet is because of my other abilities,”

“Guess you’re pretty lucky then,”

“Don’t think lucky is the word for it,” he gave her a small smile.

Hayden reached for the teddy bear and handed it to him, “You should take this back, give it to your daughter when you see her again,”

He held it and stared at it for a moment, “If I see her again,” he cleared his throat, “I used the last of my fuel, might be stuck here for the rest of my days if I don’t find a way to fix the problem,”

“Oh, right,” she paused, “Maybe we can find a way to get you back,”

“Yeah, maybe,” he stood up with the bear in his hand, “Come on, let’s get some breakfast before Wade figures out how to pop his arms back in, it’d be nice to have a peaceful meal for once.”

“I’ll be down in a minute,” he nodded and left the room, she quickly changed into her clothes before searching her room for her phone. Oh that’s right it must still be downstairs.

She put on a light jacket and then made her way downstairs, only to stop dead in her tracks as she saw Wade sitting on the couch with her phone in his hands. “What the shit do you think you’re doing Wade?” she ran to take back her phone, he dodged her grab and chuckled.

“Nothing illegal, well if this were Amsterdam I mean,”

Hayden whacked him on the head with one of the pillows, which made him drop the phone in surprise and then she picked it up, “Oh God, Wade!” She dropped it and shook her hand, looking disgusted, Nathan crooked his brow from his seat at the breakfast nook.

“It’s just porn Hayden c’mon, I’m sure you’ve seen porn,”

“That’s a gross violation of someone else’s property.” Nathan said before taking a swig from a protein shake he had just made.

She picked up the phone again slowly and frowned, turning the device in her hands, “Wait a minute, why is it sticky- Oh you didn’t!” she glared at him. “‘Phone sex’ doesn’t mean having sex with the phone Wade!” she threw the phone at his head, and he rubbed it after yelling out.

“Keep it, that’s disgusting, I need to wash my hands with bleach.” She moved into the kitchen and grabbed the bleach from the cupboard, and began scrubbing her hands furiously, Nathan shook his head at Wade.

“Well I’ve learned something new today, how about you kids?” Wade beamed as he picked the phone up and pocketed it happily.

“You’re absolutely disgusting.” Nathan remarked as he took another sip of his shake.

“If you think that’s disgusting, what would you think if I told you that I once used your protein shake bottle as a makeshift flesh-light,” he said, “Boy, that was a good night.” He sighed happily.

Nathan choked and spat the liquid food that was in his mouth all over the counter, making Wade bent over clutching his stomach with laughter, he glared at him and his cyborg eye glowed brightly.

“God you should see the look on your face!” he clapped his hands, “Don’t try this at home kids,” he added seriously, looking in the direction of an empty space.

“If, God forbid, if God exists, he allowed a son of a bitch like you to live so long as you have Wilson, I should have left your sorry ass to die.” Nathan growled.

“Why yes I do exist, as witnessed by the handiwork you two have personally experienced,”

Hayden dried her hands off and shook her head at Wade. “I’m revoking your status as Honorary Brother, you’ve gone too far with the,” she shivered, “Flesh-light.”

“What, you’re not being serious? That’s not even the worst of what I could’ve done!” he whined.

“Did you even wash out the bottle after you abused it like you did?” she asked, crossing her arms and looking up at him, clearly knowing what the answer was.

“Erh… Does water count?”

“Jesus.” Nathan scrunched his face in contempt for Wade, and then threw the bottle into the bin. “You’re a pig Wilson,”

“Wade, water doesn’t- you know what, never mind that- I stand by my decision and you can’t change my mind,” she shook her head and then walked out the room.

Nathan left with a huff as well, heading straight to his room so that he could wash out his mouth, and mentally bleach out the images of Wade abusing his protein shake bottle.

* * *

A few hours later Hayden received a new phone, with help from Negasonic on getting the package delivered to the right place, she wiped down the old phone before she transferred the music files and then gave it back to Wade; she was still quite annoyed with him.

But now she happily sat on the couch listening to her music, scrolling idly on the phone and ignoring the outside world, while Nathan sat across from her reading his newest copy of the ‘Guns and Ammo’ magazine that had also arrived. He disclosed to Hayden the fact that he had gargled a full bottle of mouthwash and wasted thirty minutes of his life getting his mouth clean of ‘Wade’, and she explained that he had one brain cell operating his brain and that’s why he did stupid shit.

They sat in a comfortable silence, as both knew to respect each other’s boundaries, and something nagged in the back of Hayden’s mind that she shouldn’t get too comfortable as something was bound to happen soon. Cue Wade, who entered the room carrying a large and fully loaded box before dumping it loudly onto the centre coffee table and startling the two of them.

“What are you up to now asshole?” Nathan sighed, placing the magazine on the couch and eyeing at the box suspiciously.

“Well that’s rude Mr Potty-mouth considering I come bearing gifts!” he announced eagerly, rubbing his hands together. “Heh, come.” Nathan rolled his eyes.

Hayden removed her earphones and sat to attention, “What’s all this?”

“Gifts!” Wade grinned.

He looked at her, “I don’t trust him,”

“Neither do I,” she agreed.

“Aw come on you guys! I’m not always bad,” he started to dig through the box, “Here, I’ll prove it-”

“Wade, I know what you’re doing, and if you think you can sweeten me up, I can tell you it’s not going to work, you understand me?” She walked over to the box and looked at it.

“But I got you a box load of your favourite chocolates!” Wade panicked and showed her the box before putting it next to her, he then unpacked another box, “I even got you microwave popcorn, the extra butter kind that you love!” he looked genuinely upset.

“That doesn’t matter Wade, you can still be my friend, but you’ve lost your title as ‘Honorary Brother’ for good. What you did to Cable was disgustingly indecent, and it’s embarrassing for me to try and cover for your behaviour, especially at that level,” she crossed her arms which only made Wade lower his head.

“I guess I’ll just give these and go,” he pulled out a smaller box and handed it to Nathan, who looked at it warily, “Just take it Arnold,” Wade rolled his eyes.

He slowly opened the box and pulled one of the items out, “A new set of protein shake bottles?” He noticed there were more in the box.

“Yes to replace the one that I- let’s say horribly ruined and leave it at that, shall we?” he rocked on the balls of his feet and looked between them nervously.

“Why?” Nathan asked.

“Because I’m nice!” he pretended to sound offended. “Oh, I almost forgot,” he grabbed a container and handed it to him glumly. “A month’s supply of protein powder to go with it.”

“Wow, that’s actually- decent of you, Wilson,” he looked at the gifts before him.

“And I’m sorry,” Wade said in a mock Canadian accent, then cleared his throat after seeing Hayden’s expression, “I mean, I apologise for my actions, they were wrong and disgusting. I hope you enjoy your new role that Haydes is probably going to hand to you now-”

“Wade,” Hayden smiled, causing Nathan to frown, and wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly before letting him go, “You’re an idiot, you think I was really going to remove your title?”

“You, you weren’t?” he sounded hopeful and his eyes lit up.

“I would never replace you, you’re a damn moron for thinking otherwise,” she shoved his shoulder playfully as she laughed at him, “I just wanted you to apologise for being a major prick, I knew you’d replace his stuff,” she smirked.

“You scheming little-” he smiled, “You’re definitely my sister,” he ruffled her hair and she slapped his hand away, shaking her head and putting an arm over his shoulders.

“I think life here is gonna to be a lot more tolerable around here if you can manage to keep Wilson in check,” Nathan said as he took his items to the kitchen area, “But I’m still gonna to keep my eye on you after this,” he warned.

* * *

Two months after moving into the X-Mansion Wade had asked Hayden to join the new team he had made, and after some convincing Nathan decided it might be a good idea as well.

A few hours ago Hayden had gathered the X-Force together and informed them of a militarised unit that was on their way to one of the cities nearby, and they quickly arranged a plan of defence, and before Nathan could ask how she had gotten the information they were leaving.

“Oh no, you don’t!” Deadpool stabbed another one of the soldiers in the lower spine, he screamed out in pain before he fell to the ground, paralysed.

There were too many to count, it was like an infestation in the more densely populated outer dwellings of the city, the more they killed the more they seemed to be replaced.

“Okay seriously where the fuck, are all these assholes coming from?” Deadpool yelled as he shot three soldiers down without missing a beat.

“I don’t know Wade, but right now we need to make sure they don’t get away with anyone,” Hades reminded him, she easily threw a soldier into a group that had come running in.

“Uh, we might have bigger problems than that right now,” Cable said as he nodded in the direction of a tank, it was wheeling through the tight spaces between the buildings and leaving serious damage.

“They brought a motherfucking tan, are they serious?” Deadpool sounded hysterical. “Who do they think they are?”

“A tank?” Hades turned to see the machine just as it stopped in the centre where all the chaos was happening; families were running in all different directions to evade being captured by the soldiers, now the panic had risen with the appearance of this display of weaponry.

The tank aimed its barrel to its target, Hades’ eyes followed the direction and widened as she saw the tiny girl clutching at her stuffed toy at the end of it, the hatch of the tank opened and a man holding a megaphone stood up.

“Attention all citizens, those who do not wish to comply and leave with us, will face the consequences that are about to be demonstrated for you now!" The megaphone clicked off and they heard him clearly yell, "Fire!"

The missile launched in what felt like slow motion and Hades' eyes flashed to violet, Deadpool and Cable turned their heads when they realised she was moving, but they were unable to do anything as they were too far away, she ran forward and leaped into the air as the missile was nearing its target.

“Hayden!" Deadpool yelled with wide eyes as he ran toward the scene, Cable couldn’t feel his feet at that moment and felt frozen in place.

The missile exploded with so much force that it caused the parked cars nearby to topple over and left a fairly deep dent in the surrounding ground. Deadpool coughed and waved his hand in front of his face to clear away the smoke so that he could see clearer, and Cable shook his head back to reality and ran over.

They both breathed a sigh of relief when they recognised Hades' figure hunched over, she moved her arms away slightly and examined the girl’s face with heavy concern in her glowing eyes, the little girl looked at her in awe.

“What are you?” she asked, staring at Hades' eyes before looking at the glowing scars on her arms.

Suddenly the girl was grabbed away by a pair of hands which made Hades jerk up and stand to attention.

“You get away from her you freak!” the woman spoke shakily as she picked the child up into her arms and clutched her to her chest. “Honey, don’t ever go near people like that, do you understand?” The woman spoke to her child as she carried her away, the girl nodded but kept her gaze on Hades and mouthed the words ‘thank you’.

“You people are the reason they came here!”

Hades looked to the ground, her eyes faded back to their usual blue; she looked back up at them with a hurt look in her features.

“Bethany, she just saved your little girl, how could you even say that?” a man stepped forward from the small crowd that had gathered. “We don’t even know what those monsters were after,”

“Yeah, these mutants didn’t even have to come in and save us, but they did,” a woman added.

Cable’s hand reached Hades' shoulder and pulled her back gently as she hadn't moved away, tears were forming in her eyes and she briefly looked at him, before looking at the woman and her daughter again.

“We might be the real monsters, but at least we have some humanity,” Deadpool said as he joined the two, he placed a hand on her free shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "C'mon, we still have work to do,"

“Hey, look out!”

Click.

The men stepped back with wide eyes as they looked at each other, each had a collar around their necks, Deadpool felt around his neck and sighed.

“Fuck not again,”

“Let’s go you three,” the soldiers led them away from the crowd that had run away in fear.

Hades wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings and made no attempts at resisting their force, while Cable had been trying to shove them off but was shocked into submission and stopped when he realised there was no use; and Deadpool was compliant being in such a feeble state with the collar on, as the cancer came back to him.

“They’ll do perfectly,” one of them remarked, "He'll be pleased,"

They cuffed them just to ensure there would be no trouble and then separated them into three military vehicles, before driving out of the city into what looked like no-man's land.

A good half an hour into their drive and Hades finally snapped out of her unaware state, she shook her head and realised she had something around her neck, she turned to look out the window and saw an endless stretch of barren sandy land swirling passed.

Shit. She looked around and a slight panic set in. Where the hell is Wade, and Cable? She touched the collar around her neck and looked carefully at the reflection in the window. Damn it’s one of those power dampening collars.

She shuffled in her seat and focused her attention beyond the separation between the guard and herself, seeing another vehicle just ahead of them, she focused harder to make her vision clearer.

Looks like Wade’s not far, they better not have done anything to him.

She reclined in her seat as she noticed her eyes were glowing violet in the reflection, and quickly looked to the ground in case the guard picked up on that, she clenched her hand in a fist and discovered that she still had her strength.

‘I gotta stop ya there buddy, I’m not a mutant,’ She remembered saying that to Colossus when they first met.

Hades placed her hands around the collar and gripped tightly, the metal began creaking and she could feel something tickling the nerves on her neck, she yanked it off completely and it snapped in two.

“Hey, what’s going on back there?” the guard asked, he glanced back but she was not in his line of sight, and he sat up immediately, “Hey-”

Her hand broke through the thick glass separating them with ease and she turned her arm to hold him around the neck, it snapped it seconds like a twig and the vehicle started to slow a little, she quickly reached into the driver’s section and grabbed the handgun that was tucked in the guard’s holster, shoving it haphazardly into her back pocket, before she pushed at the ceiling of the vehicle and it popped open like a can.

She hauled herself out and climbed to the roof, somehow steadying herself for long enough to jump forward from the roof and tumble onto the ground not far behind the vehicle ahead. The one she had been in swerved off course and came to a stop, but she was already on her feet and running speedily for the next one.

She leaped and grabbed onto a metal ladder that was built into the back of the vehicle and then she pulled herself onto the roof, she crawled carefully to the left and grabbed onto the side before she swung herself through the window to get inside.

“What the fuck?” Wade gasped before he smiled, “You beautiful daughter of a bastard- how’d you get out?”

“Not a mutant, remember?” she smiled before she grabbed for his collar, as it buckled it sent out that tickling feeling she had felt earlier, but Wade squirmed and pushed her off.

“You’re going to kill me if you do that,” he wheezed, “It’s sending out electrical currents and shocking me.”

“It is?” she looked at her hands, “So that’s what’s tickling me, um…” she opened the passcode box on the collar and pressed the number seven, the collar beeped and shocked Wade again making him groan.

“I guess that you tried Domino’s code huh?” he asked irritably. “I told you that was lazy writing,” she rolled her eyes.

“We have a breach, repeat we have a breach.” The guard spoke on the other side of the glass.

“That’s not good is it?” Wade asked, she ignored him as she stood up.

Hades shattered the dividing glass and grabbed the handgun from her pocket, she leaned herself halfway through and yelled at the panicked guard in Russian. “You’re going to tell me the passcode for his collar, before I shoot you in the dick!”

“It’s, it’s fi-five-nine-four-two,”

“No, no, no don’t believe the asshole-” Wade whined as she started pressing the numbers in, the collar beeped and shocked Wade, “OW! Fuck. I told you. What did I tell you?”

She gently touched Wade’s cheek and smiled, “Sorry Wade,” and then turned her attention back to the guard. “Okay, we’re going to try again,” she clicked the gun and shot the man in the crotch, it bled profusely and the man screamed and almost swerved the vehicle completely off course.

“And if you’re wrong again, I’m going to shoot you in the fucking head, alright?” she said through gritted teeth.

“You’re really hot when you’re angry like this,” Wade mumbled.

“Way to ruin the moment.” She sighed, “Passcode, now!” She yelled again.

“Eight-seven-five-four! Please don’t kill me!”

She typed in the passcode and the collar deactivated, she smirked and tossed it to the side, she spun the gun carelessly around her finger, “Hmm, how about, no?”

“Wait, Hades-”

She pulled the trigger behind his head and the guard’s blood splattered everywhere, making the vehicle swerve out of control and rolled into a nearby dip, the pair rolled in the car and collided into each other.

“Ugh... I said wait woman,” Wade groaned, “We could have made him stop and then shot the fucker in the head,”

He climbed out of the now sideways vehicle and brushed the sand off of himself and removed his mask to pour out the sand that had gotten in, and then he extended his hand for her to grab, she took it and he pulled her up, she brushed herself off.

“Thanks,”

“What are brothers for?” he smiled before putting his mask back on. “Now where in the fuck are we?” He placed his hands on his hips and squinted.

She looked around, “That’s an excellent question,”

“Great we’re in the middle of butt fuck nowhere,” he gestured to the third vehicle that was a speck in the distance, “And the only fucking clue we had has fucked off.” Wade could barely contain a laugh that had bubbled up, and she looked at him in confusion.

“Oh they’re so screwed, he’s gonna be a major pain in their ass,”

“Wade be serious,” she smacked him on the arm, “What the hell do they have planned for an actual mutant? We know they wanted normal people to experiment on like Ajax-”

“We agreed to never talk about Francis.”

“Fine, but I’ve a bad feeling about this,” the vehicle disappeared from view and she grabbed his arm, “Let’s get going, while there’s still light out,”

* * *

Cable had no idea how many hours had passed since their capture, he was alone in this particular room that they had forced him into, it was full of equipment that was clearly used for experimentation and he was strapped down to a cushioned slab in the centre of it. His wrists and ankles were strapped down by metal cuffs, and he tried in vain to struggle against them, he could feel the T.O virus moving on the infected side of his body and stilled himself. He knew the virus would only spread if he was moving, and with his telekinesis gone it had the opportunity to do it much quicker.

A man was hovering around him, he couldn’t see his face but he had a feeling that nothing good was about to come from his visitor; another man interrupted his approach with news.

“Sir, the other two mutants- they’ve escaped,” Cable’s ears pricked at that, and he tried to turn his head to see their expressions, but it was difficult to move at all.

“No matter, this one is a prime specimen, once I’ve examined him I’ll crack open that lovely head of his, that’s where everything comes together,”

“The fuck you will,” he growled.

“Ah,” he laughed and clapped his hands together, “He has a fighter’s spirit, but let me not get affectionate with you. You are merely a project, you might just be a somewhat ideal design of what man and robot can be, but you are superfluous after all,” the man stood behind him now, unexpectedly quiet.

He grunted suddenly, almost biting his tongue, and refused to let a scream escape his mouth as something sharp started to slice along his spine. The new wound burned against the air of the room, while the blood that oozed from it cooled the skin, the metallic smell filled his nostrils and he gritted his teeth through the pain.

“It’s all so beautiful, the way that his cyborg half melds with his human half,” the mad man remarked, and then Cable winced as a hot wet cloth fell over his back, a somewhat pathetic attempt at stopping his bleeding, and he struggled against his restraints.

“I’m not your play thing you sick fuck,” he growled. “You can’t just poke and prod at me like some dead corpse-”

The man chuckled, “I can and already have, and by the end of this you will be just that, a dead corpse. I, of course, have no use for you once I’m done with you.”

The man started pressing buttons on his machine and he had an uneasy feeling start in his stomach, a buzzing sound erupted around him and he waited as someone began to fiddle with cables around him.

Another man had repositioned him into a kneeling position on the floor, as the slab disappeared underneath him, his arms were restrained above him, and his head hung as it was too much effort to hold it up. The cloth slid slowly from his back and he felt more of his blood start to spill out, some of it dripped onto the floor beneath him.

“Argh!” he yelled out as his skin around his chest was being pierced by cold steel, spiked steel rods to be exact and they were then fixed in place under his skin. “When I get out of this I’m gonna kill-”

A switch was flicked and he closed his eyes as an electrical current surged through his body, it heated his blood and made his mechanical half twitch beyond his level of tolerance while the muscles of his human half spasmed. He roared under the duress, closing his eyes and praying that the T.O virus wouldn’t take its chance to spread.

The man was laughing maniacally as he watched Cable writhe about, before he turned the current on a higher setting, his laughter was cut off by a loud bang and the others were screaming. Cable took no notice as struggled to keep his focus, but he could hear them running around in a blind panic as shots were fired behind him.

“Wade, go and turn that thing off, now!” He heard a familiar voice order, “Let me deal with this piece of fuck.”

“Stop it! You’re ruining everything you fools!” The man screamed as Deadpool turned the machine off, Cable let out a shaky breath and struggled to raise his head to see what was happening, black spots appeared in his vision wherever he looked.

“You’re just making this easier for me pal,” she forced the man to his knees, and rested the gun between his eyes. “I would’ve loved to prolong this, but you don’t deserve to take another breath you worthless piece of crap. I just wanted to see the light leave your eyes,”

She pulled the trigger and the bullet went through the man’s skull and into the floor behind him, his dead body fell to the floor, and she hurried over to Cable without looking back and crouched down to his level.

“Hey Cable, you still with us?” she gently touched his face as she made him look her in the eyes, he could barely focus on her face.

“Yeah,” He managed.

“Good.” She removed her hand and looked at the steel rods, before looking at him again, “This is going to hurt a lot, sorry in advance,” She grabbed the rods and pulled them out quickly, sending sharp shooting pains through his body and making him shudder. “Sorry,” she spoke softly, “There.”

“Um, Haydes?” Wade called as he walked over.

“What, Wade?” she asked without looking, now annoyed, while unbuckling his restraints. Once he was free he rested his hands against the floor, still on his knees.

“Did you get the passcode for Cable’s collar? Cause I sure as hell didn’t,”

“Shit.” she straightened up.

“What?” Nathan frowned between the two of them.

“The passcode was the only way to get the collar off without hurting you, but now I have no choice,” she moved her hands so that her fingers slid in the gap between his neck and the collar, he heard a creaking sound as she tugged carefully, “Sorry.”

She moved her hands apart quickly and the collar sent a massive current through his body, thankfully the steel rods were not in place anymore, but his cyborg half still allowed it to linger.

“Cable, you alright?” she asked in concern, he barely nodded his head, his breathing was however staggered and his arms were shaking as they kept him falling to the floor. “Shit, you’re not.”

The next thing he knew was that he was off the ground, and the last thing he saw as he was blacking out was Hades’ violet eyes as she carried him out.

He didn’t recall waking up and making his way down to the kitchen, but at some point he must have done, because he was now sitting in the rec room on the couch and trying to clean himself. Hayden was busy eating something and had spoken to him but he didn’t hear her.

He winced as he tried to reach the cloth to the new scarring on his back, it had healed considerably through means he did not know, but his muscles still ached and he was struggling to do his task.

Hayden sighed from the kitchen and walked over, “Give.” She held her hand out, he looked at her, “I asked if you needed help, you said no, and you clearly do, now give you stubborn old man,”

He begrudgingly gave the cloth to her, “Did you really speak to me?”

“Yeah, like two minutes ago, you don’t remember?” she asked as she sat behind him.

He shook his head, “No, I guess I was out of it, sorry,” he mumbled.

“Don’t worry about it,” she gently wiped the cloth over the bloodied scarring, “You were lucky you know, your wound stopped bleeding somehow on our way back,” he was surprised at how gentle she was, both in the way she touched him and how she spoke to him now.

“You reckon?” he turned his head slightly as she started to press the cloth, but eased up when he had moved, he relaxed a little and turned back.

“Yeah, we thought you were halfway dead by the time we got back,”

He tensed when something small and soft pressed against the top of his spine where the cut started from his neck, although uncertain of what it was, his muscles relaxed again and he somehow felt more at ease.

“There, was that so hard?” He caught her smiling which in turn made him smile, before she grabbed the other small towel and gently dabbed the wound dry. “You know, any more blood loss and you would’ve been a goner.”

“Mhm,” He agreed, his eyes now closed as he was enjoying the moment.

When he opened his eyes again he was startled to see her sitting in front of him and she chuckled in amusement.

“What?” he asked defensively.

“Didn’t mean to startle you, just checking that you didn’t miss something. Infections aren’t a joke you know,” she examined his arms and lifted them before examining his ribs, he noticed her eyes glowing violet again and she got annoyed with his staring, “What?”

“Your eyes,”

“Oh, I just see better this way,” she shrugged his question off, “Alright, now let’s just make sure that he didn’t make you uglier than you already were.”

She cupped his face and looked over his features; her thumbs brushed his cheeks and moved down his jawline, his breath hitched in his chest as he waited patiently. He swallowed hard as he watched her eyes scan over every crease and scar on his face, and he wasn’t altogether sure why he was feeling as nervous as he did.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa what’s happening here? Didn’t realise I’d need to knock before I came to the rec room,” Wade’s voice filled the room, making them both straighten up in their seats.

Hayden’s eyes flicked back to bright blue in seconds, her hands moved to her sides and she stood up. “I was just making sure he wouldn’t get an infection, dumbass. It’s easy for older people to get ill that way.” She cleared her throat before she walked out the room.

“I wouldn’t worry about her calling you old,” Wade assured, as Nathan watched her leave and his face turned into a scowl.

“Why the hell would I worry about that?” he grunted, making Wade roll his eyes.

“Alright fine, whatever,” he raised his hands, “But both of you can tell me I was right once you’re over the whole ‘yearning from a distance’ bullshit, and you two finally bone.” he shook his head.

“Asshole,” he muttered as he stood from the couch, he walked upstairs to his own room and closed the door behind him.
