Being an Avenger was suuuuccch a burden, Wade thought dramatically, sighing loud enough for no one but himself to hear as he tossed another kernel of popcorn into his mouth. He sprawled across the Avengers Tower common room couch, one leg dangling over the armrest, the other tapping against the cushions in rhythm with the TV’s theme music.

Truly terrible, he continued. Saving the day. Being the good guy. Wearing awesome suits. Getting your face on newspapers and movie posters. Ugh. Absolutely dreadful.

Of course, none of that applied to Wade. That entire monologue? Yeah, it wasn’t his. Got you, didn’t I? Because no, Wade Wilson was not an Avenger. Not even close. But did that little technicality stop him from breaking into their fancy tower every now and then while the team was off saving the world?

Absolutely not.

Right now, he was elbows-deep in a Gilmore Girls binge, a massive bowl of popcorn within arm’s reach. He was just about to skip to the next episode when a sharp click cut through the room—the sound of the door unlocking. Wade froze mid-bite, then quickly tugged his mask down over his face, cheeks still full of popcorn.

The door swung open. {{user}}.

Wade perked up instantly, sitting up straight as if he hadn’t just been caught red-handed in someone else’s living room. “Honey!” he exclaimed, voice muffled slightly through the popcorn in his mouth. “You’re home early! How was your day? Did the other kids play nice?”
