We open on the preview pages with Mystique delivering the Nuke pills to a client, claiming she stole them off the Weapon X-Force team. Her client tries to double cross her, and the team swoops in. Domino starts shooting & Creed tells her to be careful as the tanks are full of gas. An explosion follows, taking out the goons and blowing money everywhere. Neena smiles and says she meant to do that. All that's left is gathering up the money & dividing it evenly among themselves.
Domino is ready to take her leave, since she got the money she wanted, but Creed tells her they have another job. Domino admits she's greedy, but she's now got more money than she can count. Creed tells her this gig isn't about money, which confuses Deathstrike who thought they were only about money now. Sabretooth finally explains the mission. Mystique got notification from Monet's parents to find her after she's disappeared and bring her back to them. Upon hearing the name, Deathstrike points out that Monet is Creed's ex-girlfriend, causing him to get defensive & tell her to shut up. He says it wasn't like -but he's cut off by Domino who finds it cute, so she's in.
Creed & Mystique head to the place of a strange cult. Mystique shapeshifts into a random woman, and takes a codename of Andrea Jorgenstern, and Creed is her guard, Dick Steele. They chat briefly about the mission, and Creed tells Mystique he cares about Monet like a sister he never had, which she doesn't believe. They get inside and we see the scene JDW posted weeks ago with the cult leader introducing a hooded figure. The figure is willing to cast her lot with them, and leave all her material possessions in atonement. The leader thanks her, and asks what she'd like in return. The figure says nothing, she only wishes to share the gift with another. The person she summoned there -Sabretooth. The hooded figure being Monet. Sabretooth drops his cover and claws his way through the crow, telling Monet to come with him, they're going to save her.
She appreciates the thought, but she brought him there to save him. She clobbers him, and Mystique calls the others for backup. Monet fights the Weapon X team, and they don't do so well against her, as she effortlessly clobbers Omega Red. Sabretooth goes after the cult leader, who is the mind-controller Mentallo. Before he can be manipulated, Deathstrike injects Creed with nanobots, protecting him from the effects. She does the same to Monet, who's snapped back to normal again & she's very pissed. Creed asks her who's saving who again & she mentions she was going to thank him but he makes it hard. Creed grins and tells her that he knows she loves him. They close in on Mentallo, before an explosion knocks them back. It's DEADPOOL, And he can't let them kill his boss. |
