"Are you angry?" Deadpool asks, taking a step back just in case.
"What makes you say that?" Came the reply.
"Well you keep eyeing your knife collection, and honestly, it’s slightly disconcerting
..
" Deadpool replies eyeing the younger man.
"Just slightly ?" Peter taunts, twirling a karambit by the loop in the hilt."I was hoping I could put some fear into your heart.”
“Well little spider, consider me afraid.” He pauses a moment, watching as the assassin sets the blade down in favor of one tinted red,”You can also consider me completely turned on.” he winks.
“Oh?”
“I mean, hot damn , look at you. You’re A complete badass now. Honestly I think I like this you best. It’s hot. And the outfit! Good choice on getting rid of the webbing design. The author hates drawing it. “
“Well, I needed to go with an assassin look. Wouldn’t want to go around and have people still think of me as the hero.”
“In a way you’re still a hero. An anti-hero. Like me! And The Punisher! Killing baddies and saving the innocents, just…maybe a few differences here and there and - wait, why were you eying your knife collection?”
Peter grinned, eyes glinting,”Don’t you just love knives?”
He took a step towards the older assassin, running a finger over the tip of the red blade.
“Remember how we had a little race of ‘who can kill the target first?’ Well, you honestly thought you’d win huh?”
“Well I am more experienced. I’d say your little spider-sense is cheating.”
“Well I could say your immortality is also cheating.”
“Still more experienced.”
“And you wonder why I’m eyeing my knife collection,” his grin grew wider.
