"Hey! Buddy, are you coming?"
"We're here!"
"Everyone's waiting for you!"
Wade spoke so fast that Alaric couldn't even get a word in.
Then, for the first time, Alaric used his all-seeing eye to observe Wade's location and surroundings, activated magical teleportation, and appeared behind them.
"I'm here," said Alaric, looking at Wade's back.
Hearing his voice, Colossus and Warhead turned around, their eyes widening instantly.
They were sure there had been no one behind them.
How had this person suddenly appeared!?
Was this a teleportation ability?
Colossus and Warhead thought the same thing at the same time.
As Colossus was thinking, he noticed Alaric's radiant eyes.
This person would be a perfect addition to the X-Men!
The X-Men needed people with such powers.
The only thing that worried Colossus was what Alaric's personality was like. If he was like Wade, unpredictable and indifferent to life, that could become a problem.
And that outfit… it reminded him of Magneto.
Colossus was cautious.
"Where are you? I don't see you!" Wade was still holding his phone, spinning around.
"Behind you," said Colossus.
"Oh! Buddy, glad to meet you!" Wade greeted him cheerfully.
"Did you come on purpose to help me change outfits? Awesome!"
"You're still calling me Alaric." Alaric rolled his eyes. "This is my everyday outfit."
"Hello, Alaric! Then let's get started!" Wade immediately turned serious and moved forward.
Colossus and Warhead temporarily pushed aside their doubts about Alaric and moved left and right toward the deeper parts of the scrapyard.
Alaric quietly followed behind them, not fitting into their formation.
As they walked, Warhead noticed that Wade didn't have the bag in his hands.
"Wade? Where's your bag?"
"What bag… Fuck! It's still in the taxi!"
Wade looked down and only then realized.
Then everyone stopped, and Wade started calling the taxi driver, Dopinder.
Taking advantage of the moment, Colossus approached Alaric.
"Hello, I'm Colossus, and this is Warhead."
"Hello, Alaric."
"Are you also a mutant? That teleportation, is that your power?" asked Colossus with genuine interest.
"I'm not a mutant, I'm a sorcerer."
"A sorcerer?" Colossus and Warhead exchanged puzzled looks.
Mutants were known to the public; some even cooperated with the government. But hardly anyone knew about sorcerers like those from Kamar-Taj. They remained hidden and operated from the shadows.
That's why Colossus and Warhead had no idea that such a group even existed. They even thought that Alaric had made up the story to conceal his true identity.
That only irritated Alaric even more. Just as S.H.I.E.L.D. always monitored and tried to recruit everyone with special powers, so too did the X-Men feel responsible for keeping track of mutants. When someone denied being a mutant, it only raised their suspicions.
Alaric just sighed inwardly.
'Forget it, when this is over, I'll erase their memories so I don't cause myself trouble.'
"I told you, I'm a sorcerer, not a mutant."
"I understand." Colossus nodded but decided that when this was over, he would ask Professor Charles for his opinion.
"By the way… which X-Men movie did you film… I mean, does your professor have hair?" Alaric suddenly asked out of nowhere.
Colossus and Warhead exchanged confused glances for a moment. They thought he was as weird as Wade.
"Our professor has hair, why do you ask?" Colossus replied.
"Oh, nothing, just curious." Alaric answered.
If the professor still had hair, it meant that this was the time period after the events of Days of Future Past. The major upcoming events in this era included the appearance of Apocalypse and later the story of the Dark Phoenix.
Even though the movie Dark Phoenix was poorly made, that didn't matter here. This was the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everything could be fixed.
Alaric didn't bother himself with it.
"Damn! Nobody's answering! Let's go!" Wade sighed and gave up after a few minutes on the phone.
He pulled out his pistol and stepped forward.
Colossus and Warhead immediately followed him.
Just as they entered deeper into the scrapyard, they were surrounded by a group of armed soldiers.
"Wade Wilson!!"
Francis stood on the deck of an abandoned, massive ship and looked down at him from above.
"What's my name!!" Wade shouted angrily.
"Wait, I'll help you figure it out later!!" Francis replied mockingly.
Wade glared at him.
Angel approached Francis's side and jumped down.
Wade whispered excitedly, "Superhero landing…!" ready to mock her.
Boom!
Angel struck the ground, creating a small crater.
"Honestly, that's not good for the knees."
"You're beautiful, but I'm busy with Francis, so I'll leave you to the big guy!" Wade patted Colossus on the arm.
Colossus didn't hesitate and immediately moved toward Angel.
The result…
Boom!
Before he could do anything, Angel punched him and sent him flying backward.
"Oh! Fuck!"
