Ok, first off, Wade is only about 19 years old. Second, he doesn't know Venessa at all. And third, Wade doesn't have his burn scars but he does have scars from being stabbed, shot, slashed, etc, etc. Sorry about this being late, I'm trying to update but it's kind of hard. I probably won't be able to update for a while as my life is kind of going up in smoke. The good news is that I may be getting a tattoo next summer! Anyway, here's a chapter.

May 6th

Peter: Hey MJ, Its been a week since you got in the middle of that fight. I don't even know what you were thinking when you punched that man. And then he shot you. I just really wish I could have helped you

Peter: Dad told me I should stop texting you, said it's not healthy. I told him to fuck off.

Peter: I'm just really missing you right now



Wade had been startled when these texts showed up on his old burner phone. Who was this Peter and who was MJ?


May 23rd

Peter: Hey MJ, I'm so sorry I let you die

I stare down at the tiny screen in my hand and tilt my head back. It's been almost a month and it still feels like yesterday. I can still hear the gunshot and I can still see the blood pouring out of her chest. It was on a constant loop in my head.

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't focus in the lab, I couldn't go to school, I couldn't go on patrol. I really wasn't doing well at all.


June 2ed

Peter: Hi MJ, I tried, I really did. I just can't stand being here without you anymore, you were my best friend other than Ned. You were the first I told about being gay and I was the first person you told about you being a lesbian

Peter: I'm sorry but I'll be with you soon.


I look down at the murky water and swallow thickly, this was it. May and Happy tried to help me along with the remaining avengers. T'Challa even took me to Wakanda to help me recover like he did with Bucky. It just didn't work.

Peter: Goodbye


**************************


Wade looked down at his phone in panic, he may be an ass but he wasn't about to let someone kill themselves. He had gotten a new phone number a month ago and had been getting these texts from some guy named Peter.

He actually seemed like a really sweet guy, the complete opposite from me. But, he is like me in the sense that he's trying to kill himself. As I said, I may be an ass but I'm going to do my damndest to save this guy.


*****************

I'm about to take the step out over the edge of the bridge when my phone vibrates. I look down at the screen and would have fallen without my sticking power. On the screen was a text from MJ, or at least her number.

MJ: Don't do it!

I know it can't really be her, but what if she got some lessons on faking her death from Fury?

Peter: MJ?

My thumb hovers over the send button and I finally send the message.


*********************


Incoming text: MJ?

Wade sighs as he sees the text, at least he's still alive. At least I can try to save him. If I could save Russell, I can save this poor sap.


*****************

MJ: Where are you?

I look at the simple text and laugh, she's asked me this over a billion times, often with a 'loser' attached. Should I tell 'MJ' where I am? It could just be some random person texting me, but she could have pulled a Fury.
