Chapter 3: 03 - The Ruined Date with Scarlet
Derrick's shout of happiness echoed through the hall.
Listening to the scream, the guards in charge of looking over the experiments looked towards each other.
'Hah, nice.'
'Another one has gone crazy.'
The guards were no strangers to the experiments' yelling.
In this dark lab, the most indispensable thing is the experimental subjects who have gone crazy. Often, those signs meant that the experiment had started to manifest their powers as a mutant.
They thought that Derrick probably was the same, they just glanced at him a few times and then turned their eyes away.
"What's the deal? Fuck, you interrupted my date with Scarlett." At this time, a hoarse voice came from the bed next to Derrick's.
Derrick calmed down a little and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.
The person who spoke was a young man with a beard on his face. His face was frighteningly pale, with two cheekbones protruding high on his thin cheeks. He looked like a terminally ill patient living his last few days.
The young man glared at Derrick viciously: "Damn it, we were about to proceed to the last step of foreplay before the last base but Scarlett was scared away by your yelling. My date was completely ruined!"
Seeing the serious expression of the man, Derrick was a little speechless.
"Wade, I remember you said that you have a girlfriend outside, right? Instead of having these useless daydreams all day long, you should find a way to get out quickly, otherwise, a few years later, you would suddenly have children call you uncle."
"Fuck!"
Hearing Derrick, Wade immediately broke out of the role he was playing and said angrily: "After I get rid of those damn cancer cells, I will go out and get Vanessa back. Then I will show you the most beautiful woman in this world."
"The premise is to be able to go out..." Derrick said.
As Derrick said, he suddenly remembered an important matter, related to Wade. The man in front of him was named Wade, full name, Wade Wilson.
He was the man who would become Deadpool in the future. The famous mercenary who is also one of Marvel's best characters.
When the cancer cells were detected in his body, Wade, who had nowhere to go, took the initiative to participate in this genetic modification experiment as a volunteer.
Inside the lab, his bed was right beside Derrick who had just crossed over. The two easily got along due to their similar personalities.
Though this was a result of Derrick's initiative to get acquainted with THE DEADPOOL, as time went by, Derrick and Wade became good friends.
Regardless of Wade's unreliable character, as a top mercenary, Wade's abilities were beyond doubt. If Wade hadn't voluntarily stayed silent in the research institute to undergo the so-called 'genetic modification', the security team of this research institute might not be able to keep him quiet.
According to the development that happened in the movie, only after Wade gets his self-healing power, he came up with the idea of escaping.
According to his plan, there will be an explosion in the research institute, which will cause a fire and the fire will spread to the entire research institute. At that time, this place will become the most dangerous area and all people staying in the research institute would face lethal threats.
Derrick was planning to escape secretly amid the chaos that Wade would cause but plans can't always keep up with the changes.
Derrick did not expect that the title of Super High School Stuntman would be so powerful. In the blink of an eye, all his serious injuries were recovered.
His body was so healed that it was suspicious now. If any of the guards or the lab's staff, especially Francis, noticed Derrick's ability, it would be harder for him to escape under the extra attention they would give him.
And so, Derrick must now escape from the lab before his Ability is exposed.
Time is running out for Derrick and it does not wait for anyone, not even the protagonist.
Derrick quickly went through the whole movie's events in his mind.
Suddenly, he had a bold idea.
Looking at Wade who was still shouting at Derrick for ruining his date, Derrick narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Wade, do you know the secret of Ajax?"
"What secret?" Wade suddenly became interested.
Because of his nice face, Wade often received special care from Francis.
Hearing that it was about Francis's secret, Wade was immediately interested and serious.
Derrick smiled slightly: "Actually, the name Ajax is fake. His real name is Francis. Ajax was originally a company that manufactured dish soaps but that Francis guy took it for himself."
"No way, are you serious?"
"Yup, it definitely is true. This secret is only known to me at the moment."
"Hahahaha! I knew Ajax was a fake name but I didn't expect it to be a brand of dish soap. What parents would even name their child Ajax?" Wade laughed like crazy, his body contorted on the hospital bed.
At this time, Derrick's expression revealed a hint of worry.
"By the way, it's only the two of us who know about this. Remember not to tell anyone else, especially Ajax... I mean, Francis."
"Be sure to remember, don't laugh at his name as a dish soap brand. Francis has a short temper, he will bite when provoked." Derrick still seemed to be worried, emphasizing several times over the matter.
"Don't worry, don't forget what I used to do. Secrecy is the basic professional quality of a mercenary." Wade said. He still continued laughing loudly but patted his chest to show reliability.
Seeing his appearance, Derrick sighed and nodded.
"Well, I'll believe you."
.
.
On the next day, Francis appeared in the lobby as usual.
As the person in charge of the research institute, Francis needs to regularly check the progress of the experimental subjects. After all, these experimental subjects are their important materials. If something goes wrong, the loss would be great.
After inspecting several subjects, Francis picked up the test reports of other subjects and continued to walk deep into the hall.
Soon, Francis came to Derrick and Wade's bed.
Right when Francis stood in front of them, Wade looked at Francis and saw his face.
"Pfft..."
Francis was taken aback for a moment by Wade's reaction?
But before he could ask or say anything, Wade writhed inexplicably on the bed.
Immediately afterwards, unscrupulous laughter sounded in the hall.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it. There are such idiots in this world who use the brand of dish soaps as their name. Damn, it's so funny, hahaha..." Wade said while continuing with his rolling.
Derrick stared at Wade, realizing just how royally screwed up he was.
