Back home again
Ok, so the trip to Somalia was weird. But she did the job, and found her long lost father. Family reunion done, time for things to get a little more back to what passes for normal in the surreal place Kelly lives.

She calls the only other person outside of 'work' she has all that much contact with.

There is the sound of bone on glass as the ball is shaken. "BLAH! I WAS SLEEPING YOU CREATON!" replies the head - disturbingly enough - and it blinks it's eyes open. Looking around, Wade tries to get the sleep unstuck, which is hard if you don't have any hands, and then somehow gives himself a shake.

"Where the hell am I? Who're you? Why is everything watery?" he then demands as brain functions come back online.

Luckily he's regrown most of his face by now - it appears half of it was blown off in Somalia.

Crosshairs takes all of this perfectly in stride... and she's still skipping. She sets the ball down on the coffee table after shifting stuff around enough to prop it up so it won't roll.

"Dad, you're in a nutrient and tequila bath, remember? There's pizza coming. I'll give you some breakfast through the nacho slot." she explains, before plopping down on the couch next to Melissa.

"Dad, this is my gorgeous, perfect, wonderful girlfriend who is letting me have two butterfly knives. Melissa, this is my daddy, Deadpool's head."

Words still aren't forming. Melissa is still trying to make sense out of this.

"Um...hello, Mr. Deadpool's Head. Are you in pain? Can I get you anything? Kelly's right. There's food coming. Pizza and wings." she offers, trying to treat this like it's a normal occurrence.

"Kelly, did you find him like this? Did those pirates do this to him?" she asks. There's a strong undercurrent of sadness in her voice now as she looks at Deadpool's Head.

"I'm right here, y'know. It's not like I'm a retard or anything - KELLY DON'T SAY IT!" he replies as milky blue eyes look to Mel. Headpool isn't a handsome guy, and with only half a mask, it's pretty hideous to look at him.

"But I'm not in pain, unless you count the FREAKING FISH THAT ARE NIBBLING MY LEFT FOOT!" he then cries, swishing around in his bath and threatening to knock the while bowlingball headtank contraption off the table.

"Dad, don't yell at my girlfriend or we're going bowling again." she warns her dad firmly. "And then I'll put your ball in front of a Brady Bunch marathon." she adds, just in case he thinks she's not being serious.

"No, no... the pirates were just going to chain him up and shove him overboard. He got this way because he didn't keep track of time and tried to do too much looting and pillaging when my detonator timers were specifically set to ninety seconds." Yes, totally his fault, not hers.

"His body is somewhere in the Indian Ocean and I didn't have any scuba gear. The fish have probably eaten his toes and fingers and stuff, and there's probably crabs in his rib cage by now - they'll keep good track of it til I can get the gear to go get it for him. Scuba diving sucks though, so it might be a while."

	"Ohmygod. And...he's still alive after all that? I'm guessing this is where you get yours from, huh?" Melissa asks. She winces at Kelly's threat to put him in front of the Brady Bunch marathon; that's pretty cold, even to her. "Scuba gear isn't much of a problem, but the Indian Ocean is pretty big." she says. "How long can he stay like this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Okay, so Kelly must have hit the nail on the head. "Brady Bunch" illicits an ear splitting scream from Wade, and he somehow manages to press himself against the back glass of the headtank.

"No.. No.. Anything but that!" he quibbles, his expression a mask of pure horror.

Three point five seconds it's gone though, and he drifts forward once more, his mask seeming to smirk with his lips. "I dunno. Never been just a head before." he then replies to Mel. "I just survived what appears to be fifteen years in a shipping crate and I didn't starve.. so... who knows! The tequila is great though."

"Red's genetic engineers say that with this nutrient bath, he'll be fine for however long he's in there. They've got normal human body parts they've kept alive for months, and he's definitely not normal." Understatement.

"So he'll be fine as long as the ball doesn't get cracked or drained. I figured it'd be a great accessory to take into the field with me." Where its much more likely to get cracked, of course.

She finally gets back to her threat. "No more screaming, Dad. Just be nice to my girlfriend, and I'll put in your Golden Girls DVD for you later. And mix more tequila into your nutrient bath."

	"Okay, so. Three of us for pizza and wings..." Melissa is saying, before the buzzer near the fridge rings. She walks over and speaks for a moment, then turns to Kelly and Deadpool. "Oh, look! Pizza man's here. I'll go get it!" she says, a little quickly, before going out the door to the apartment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No more screaming. Right." replies Wade as he nods his head to Kelly.. somehow. Who the heck knows how he moves around in that tank.

He gives a little swish, then says in a low tone, "She's really nice, Kelly-pants. You bagged yourself a good one! She's even really hot too. Now, I'm not trying to be a creep, y'know.. It's just hard to miss that your baby girl's girl is smokin'!"

Kelly beams. "Oh, its ok, I know she's hot. We're going to go blow up a warehouse on our next date, I think. And she's taking me gun shopping and buying me butterfly knives. I totally hit the jackpot. Just no hitting on my girl." she replies firmly, talking about blowing up warehouses and gun shopping to her dad's head in a bowling ball while she casually gets out paper towels and plates for everyone.

"Hope you like spicy - I ordered the hottest stuff they've got."

Melissa sighs as she pays the pizza guy, not even noticing that he's checking her out. She's still trying to get herself calmed down about the scene in her apartment because she doesn't want Kelly to think she can't handle this. She promised not to freak out, and she's going to honor that.

She goes back upstairs, taking deep breaths on the way up the stairs.

Not freaking out, not freaking out, not freaking out....

She whispers the command to disable the wards so that she can enter the apartment.

"Okay, food's here!" she says cheerily.

"Extra hot hot wings, regular buffalo wings, and two pizzas. One pepperoni and cheese, the other sausage and pineapple." Mel says.

"Let's eat."

"DO I like spicy stuff.. does the pope shit in the woods?" replies Wade to Kelly, and hops a few times. Making the tank hop with him. the whole "no hitting on my girl" makes him stop, and rather soberly, he says "Kelly, if I have my way, she'll be making an honest woman out of you. Hitting on my future-to-be-one-day Daughter-in-law is just groce!"

When Melissa returns with food, he's all smiles. "Yay! Mel-mel has pizza!" he says, rolling a bit back and forth and generally seeming tohave ants in his.. uhm.. non existent pants.

Kelly lays out a napkin and plate for Mel and waits for food to be set out. "Mmm, that smells awesome, thanks, sweetie!" she offers, craning her neck up to give Mel a kiss on the cheek.

She fishes out a hot wing and stuffs it into the nacho slot, messily, then helps herself as well.

"I don't know, dad. We're just getting to the meet the parent stage and taking things slow. I haven't done this serious dating thing before. I'd introduce her to Mom too, but I've never met her, she doesn't know I exist, and as far as I've heard, she'd probably try and shoot you out of a cannon or mount you on the trophy shelf."

Melissa actually laughs at Kelly's description of her mother's treatment of Deadpool.

"Wow, that almost sounds like my Mom and Dad when they got into a fight." she chuckles, grabbing a slice of pizza and a couple of wings.

"So, what's the plan now, Kelly? Are you and your dad just going to do this whole talking head thing for a bit, or is there a bigger plan coming up?" she asks.

	Kelly blinks, genuinely surprised. "There's a plan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
