[And he stares at this. Glowering. Of course he's not fucking Avengers level, or Ultimates or whatever the hell they're going to call themselves. No matter what Nick Fury said, he's just not cut from the same cloth. So sorry he didn't grow up a billionaire and got to build himself into a hero. So sorry he's not a super spy assassin, or that he never turned the tide of World War II, or that he can't shoot a bow and arrow.]

He might be where you're from. Trust me, you're nothing like the Deadpool I knew. He was on a reality TV show where they were shipping in kidnapped mutants, and he'd hunt them down and kill them on air for kicks
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I've been at this longer than some adults, frankly. And the CDC didn't care about whether I'm legal or not either, and I don't have a choice where they're concerned either.

[What is he supposed to say to that? The kid has a point--and yet the point IS, he shouldn't have to do those things. He shouldn't feel like he needs to risk himself for the lives of others, day after day, without any reward whatsoever.
Maybe being a hero is its own reward.
Deadpool wouldn't know. He's never been that selfless. Never gonna be that selfless.]

yeah naw. i'm no hero, but that's not my shtick. and i guess.
[He's still gonna look out for this kid, he thinks. The world needs a Spider-Man. Even if it doesn't know it.
They don't know how goddamn lucky they are, having a kid put his life on the line for them.]

Yeah they're kinda short changed when it comes to anyone who's not got a million dollar backing.
[To put it at its absolute lightest. Peter has to look away from the blackglass, seething mad all of a sudden. He's not sure whether Deadpool read the file in full but even if he did, there's no way that he'd suss out the guy Peter took the bullet for was Cap. Nor that the reason he died in a fight right after was because the asshole up and ditched him after the bridge they were on got bombed.]
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
You don't have to be a mercenary either, Deadpool.
[Similarly, Peter stares a long while at his in turn. He'd actually tried? Deadpool. Tried to be a good guy. He pulls up his file for the umpteenth time as if it might have been updated, or there was a key word or turn of phrase he'd missed his first fifteen times around.
There's nothing. Horrible past, horrible outcome. Not quite horrible guy.]

Didn't say you had to be a happy go lucky do gooder either. I get it, not everyone's cup of tea.
