Linda was out of breath as she lay next to a tied up Wade — she may have gotten carried away with the seatbelts. She had dried blood on her face from Wade and hers escapades but she didn't mind it — her eyes slowly closed as she turned towards Wade and fell asleep.

Wade woke up before Linda, "Thor!" He exclaimed before realizing Linda had cuddled up to him in her sleep. He did his best to try and hold her close but the seatbelts got in the way which made Linda wake up. She quickly sat up and wiped her mouth before she cut Wade free and the two stepped out of the car — looking over they saw a door into a derelict building.

"Where are we?" Linda asked as they stepped inside making Wade shrug, "No clue, but I like it here." Linda didn't respond as she began sniffing out a bottle of alcohol that she began to drink, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Wade tried to take the bottle away but the sound of footsteps turned their attention towards the door. The two looked to the door and watched as the others walked in.

Linda's lip curled as she growled. Three people walked in — the electricity hummed from the lights above them — Wade held his hands out as he looked between Linda and the three figures, "Okay... look at you... all.. You must be the others." Linda grimaced, "Terrific." She mumbled making Wade hold his hand out to her, "So just to refresh, you are.." he pointed at the woman, "Wonder-" she cut him off, "Elektra."

Wade nodded and put his hands together, "Elektra? Yes, who could forget?" He pointed at another one of the others, he was wearing sunglasses, "And you, I was not expecting to see you here." Wade shrugged, "I thought you were you know, retired." He chuckled after the poor impression of the man he was talking to. "Re-" The man said the r-word making Wade instantly put his hands out, ""Retired." I'm already in The Void. I'm not trying to get canceled again." The man looked Wade up and down, "I don't like you."

"You never did." Linda looked between the two of them, confused. Wade put his attention on the last man, "And who's this succulent reminder of my own inadequacies? Look at you." Wade sighed, "You look like the superhero version of Hawkeye." The man spoke with a thick Cajun accent, "The name's Remy LeBeau, Le Diable Blanc." He looked at Wade then at Linda, "But you can call me the Gambit." Linda looked the man up and down through narrowed eyes, he smirked at her. Wade looked between the two and quickly put himself in the man's eye line, "It's been a while since I've seen Sling Blade, hit me again."

"They call me the Gambit." Wade nodded before quirking his head, "Do they? Are you sure you just didn't really, really want them to, but it never quite worked out?" Gambit didn't pay attention to him, his focus back on Linda, "You know, we never had a Wolverine up in here." Linda's lip curled, a low growl emitting from her that Wade heard making him look at her, "But I can tell you now, it's just a common courtesy to ask before you drink up all my liquor." Linda rolled her eyes, "Well, it's a good thing I don't give a fuck." Gambit laughs before speaking in French. He takes a card out of his pocket, glowing a bright purple before he threw it at the glass — slicing right through it. "Fuck." Linda mumbled as she dropped the rest of the bottle, Wade claps his hands together, "So embarrassing, boo, boo, boo, well now that that's settled — look, we came a long way to find you three."

Elektra spoke, "There's four of us." Wade furrowed his brows, "There's four..." He held a hand up, "Hey wait, is it Magneto? Dear sweet God in heaven, let it be Magneto." Blade spoke bluntly, "He's dead." Wade threw his hands up, "Fuck! Now the author gets too overwhelmed to write in Magneto! It's like they told me they're gonna stop writing another chapter cause of 'no ideas'." Gambit grins, "Ooh, mon petit rouge. Laissez les bons temp rouler, huh?" Wade shook his head, "Not a single word. What do you do exactly?" Gambit replied, "Charge the playing cards and make 'em go boom!" Wade narrowed his eyes, "Your power's close up magic. That's good."

Wade looked at Linda, "We're not totally fucked at all." He looked back at the group, "So who brought us here?" A new voice spoke, "That would be me." It was her. "Don't make me regret it." Wade raised his brows as his eyes widened, he looked at Linda, "Holy shit. Linda. That's her. That's X-23. She's the one I told you about." Wade looked back at the group, "Hey, how did you all get stuck in The Void." Blade looked down, "There was a knock at the door. TVA sent me here." Elektra nodded, "Me too." Gambit shrugged, "Maybe I was born here... it's.. it's hard to be sure." Blade sighed, "TVA decided our universe was dying. And I never even got a chance to fight for it."

Elektra continued, "People like us don't go quietly. TVA knows that, so they took us out." Wade looked like he was going to explode with how giddy he was, "The answer is yes, I'm in." Blade looked at him with a crooked brow, "In what?" Wade held his arms out, "A team." He pointed at each of them, "Me, you, you, and me." He smiled, "All of us together. Let's get the fuck out of this place." Linda finally got up, "Don't listen to him." She stared him down, "He's a fucking liar!" Wade yelled back at her, "It was an educated wish!" Linda was chest to chest with him, "Ha!" She laughed — Wade turned towards the others, "Look, we've been inside Cassandra's lair. The only way out of The Void is through her."

Wade spoke, "She can get us home. She told us." Blade held his hand up, "Wait a minute, you've been inside? And you made it out alive?" Elektra rolled her eyes, "Bullshit. Nobody's ever done that." Wade motioned to himself and Linda, "We did." Gambit sighed, "Every time one of us has gone up against her, they die. The Punisher, the Quicksilver, the Daredevil." He listed off. Wade spoke, "Daredevil? I'm so sorry." Elektra looked away, "It's fine." Gambit continued, "Even that sweet baby angel Johnny Storm. He up and gone missing like, what, two days ago?" Wade looked around, "Ugh, that's so sad. Wherever this Johnny fella is, I'm sure he's thriving." Linda chuckled.

Wade clears his throat, "Look, there's... there's strength in numbers. All right? Us plus you guys. We can put Cassandra over our knee and force her to let us out of The Void. I know what it means to feel self doubt." Elektra and Blade speak simultaneously, "I don't feel that at all." — "I'm good." Wade continues, "Gnawing at your gut like a coked up tapeworm." Gambit is the only one that agrees with him, "It's like you're holding a mirror up to my soul." Wade continues, "You guys may not have been able to save your universes, but you can avenge them... it's what Johnny would have wanted." Elektra held up a hand, "Wait, you knew Johnny." Linda chuckles, "Oh yeah, dickhead here talked him into a team-up, and Johnny came down with a little case of the deads."

Wade shook his head, "No, no, no. We don't know that. It was just a flesh wound, he may have survived." Linda looked at Wade, her arms crossed, "If he survived that, he is prayin' for death." Wade rolled his eyes, "Thank you, Doctor Wolverine!" The others all approached Wade, weapons drawn, "Spill it!" Blade exclaimed as Gambit pulled out his deck of cards, "What'd you do to Johnny, huh? Talk or I'm gonna start dealin'." Wade held his hands up, "Okay, okay. Hey, hey, hey. Look. He ran his fat ass mouth about Cassandra — then she zip-zapped his skin, leaving his organs to splash crudely onto the ground while the soil greedily drank his blood. It was horrible, he was like a brother to me. Look, he died before he could make a difference but...." Wade looked down, laughing, "Look, maybe you can't save your worlds but... but Jesus Christ you can save mine!"
