"Hey! Where'd we go?!"
((s**t! I can't see a thing!))
You looked into the light, didn't you?!
((No, I had me eyes closed!))
*narrator slaps writer*
((OW!! RRRUFF! BARK!!!))
"Hey, man! Leave him alone!"
*Slap!* You keep outta this!
*Slaps back* "Oh yeah?!"
Yeah! *slap-fight ensues*
((uh . . . exit C.J. and Lady Deadpool to Land of the Unliving?))

((Enter . . . oh s**t. I goofed.))
Roll with it! We gotta buy Rosie some time!
((Right . . . enter BLACKJACK from Land of the Unliving.))
The door flew open three hours later and a world of Cosmic Mojo shot Blackjack through the door like he was blasted out of a cannon. He hit the roof, the back wall, ricocheted off the bartender's mirror and skidded three times as he fell to the floor dazed. However, what DIDN'T Blackjack realize was within the chaos, things were horrifically amiss. This was not the time of the pirates. This wasn't Jack and Bou and the rest of the crew to greet him. Hell his skull makeup that he wore in the Land of the Unliving melted away to reveal his true identity.
This was no mere voodoo priestess' apprentice, but a very familiar friend: C.J. Benoit had made his return . . . but he looked different. Three years older. He looked like he had lived a BIT. Hell, his trusty baseball cap showed signs of wear and tear . . . hell, EVERYTHING on him looked worn out.
"Ugh . . . my achin' hea- uh oh." C.J. looked around. This wasn't home. Hell, this wasn't even FLORIDA!!! Was this?! Could it?!

Everyone in the resteraunt took note of the man's... interesting arrival. Not half as much as a small group of men in black suits sitting at a nearby table. The men looked at him for a long moment, then carefully glanced back down at the table. One pulling out a phone and scrolling through it. He found a picture, looked back up at CJ, down at the phone again, then carefully closed it down and slipped the phone back into his pocket. He gave the others a very small knod, then went back to his dinner. Seemingly ignoring CJ.

C.J. got up and dusted himself off as he smiled. Well, while we're here! he thought as he staggered over to the bar and smiled. His familiar grin would give the suits more suspicion to look into this strange case.
"Hola, amigo! Dos cervezas por favor?" he asked in a more fluent Spanish and sat there at the barstool. That is, before he realized he was being watched, by almost LITERALLY EVERYONE!
"WHAT?! Can't a guy have a beer in peace?" he asked before he waited for the brew.

The group of men at the table carefully watched. The ones who were facing CJ at least. They were smart enough not to make it look too much like they were ONLY watching CJ. One man staring at him pulled out his phone again just to double check the image on it. Satisfied that it was a match, he frowned deeply and looked back up at CJ. Then turned and muttered something to his friends. One nodded grimly in agreement.

However, someone DID notice, and as C.J. chug-a-lugged the first beer and nursed the other one as he relaxed. Who are those assholes and why're they watching me? Waitaminute . . . this wasn't a trick was it? he thought as he nursed the beer, taking another drink. The others were slowly getting back to their usual meals and merriment, so he decided to play it cool. He didn't want to cause a ruckus.

The group of men just sat at the table and quietly observed as inconspicuously as they could. After a moment or two, one of the men pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. He held it up to his ear and listened, but didn't answer the phone. Instead, he pressed a button to let it "beep", then hung the phone up and slid it back into his pocket.

He smirked as he took another drink of his beer. Who ARE those assholes?! Are they from Arkham? St. Agnes? Nah, can't be St. Agnes. Those bums gave up after I jumped that train! he thought, going through his list of foes. Fisk? Not likely. British? Nah, that war ended by now. Caveman? Did he MEET him yet?! C.J. was lost in thought that he didn't realize the weather had taken a turn for the stormy. Not a good sign!

As CJ became lost in thought, another suit came walking through the resteraunt. A woman wearing the same sort of black suit that the group of men wore. Her dark hair was cropped short and curled around her face, and her heels clipped quietly against the floor.
"C.J. Benoit?" the woman asked as she walked up to him. Stopping just to the side of him with her arms crossed behind her.

"I haven't been called that in YEARS." he drawled. Then it came to the horrid realization. He was . . . this had to be . . .
THREE YEARS?! Did time fly? The breakup, the hookup with Lady Deadpool? The asylum trip? The escape? Bringing the band together and falling through the wormhole? THAT TOOK THREE YEARS?! He smirked as he finished his beer and put it on the table, taking out several gold coins and put them on the table.
"But regardless, you got 'im. Now who're y'all? And what's with the Reservoir Dogs look?" he asked.

The woman arched her brow at his reply. "Oh? Perhaps our records are out of date then. And as far as you or your lady friend are concerned, we're protective custody." she said, then motioned towards the group of men. "And we would appreciate it if there was no scene in this rather civilian crowded establishment as there was at Fisk Towers not very long ago."

Lady friend?! he thought. If he was a she, and he knew which she he was talking about, C.J. would have proceeded to beat the tar outta him! However, he was still a she and C.J. was confused. Then it hit him.
Three years ago he was dating Misty, and she was the one who left him high and dry in a small Texas town, who made up a sob-a** story to cover her tracks and then married some assclown while he was incarcerated! <******** . . . I'd take the Brits over dealing with HER a** again. he though before smirking. THIS time, he could get out of it.
"Start explaining and there ain't gonna be a scene, compadre." he drawled.

/// Oooooooohh...... ////
"Very good." the woman replied. "Our current employer is highly interested in securing her saftey. We have her in custody as we speak, thanks to your... surprisingly extended absence. She has been... difficult though. She has refused to be cooperative until she was guaranteed that you were alright. With the hours you had been gone, she had assumed the worst, and of course, assumed we had something to do with it."

((Allow me to explain: See him? HE's the dude that was at Arkham. AND at PoV. The future that coulda happened if they DIDN'T get back together and have the sugary-sweet ending.))
C.J. snarled as he sucked on a toothpick. Huh, so she actually gave a s**t? Intriguing. he thought as he got off that barstool and stared down the suits. He didn't expect to get beamed into a showdown, BUT . . .
"I leave to take a mission and she gets her a** captured. GREAT . . . . " he growled under his breath. "Uh, huh . . . and I'm Nick Fury. Who y'all with and where is she?" he asked.

/// ...... if... if she got married to someone else at that time, it probably would have been to Blackstone. The haven't-divorced-yet husband from her own world. Extremely wealthy, and extreme level of security for Saph and the kids.
... oh this is going to be good. Good on you for the dramatic little twist. ///
"We aren't at liberty to reveal our employer at the moment. He would prefer not to be personally involved until he can be assured that the woman is not going anywhere, other than his... secured location." the woman replied.
"Oh just bring him. That stone guy isn't going to want to wait around forever. It was luck that the signal turned up around our area to begin with." one of the men said. Clearly tired of waiting around.
In due time..." the woman scolded, looking back at her irritated partner. Then she looked back to CJ. "She isn't far. We haven't been able to get her into transportation."
"B*ch stuck a hole through Grant for trying." the man growled again.
