622. TVA!!!
"Who the hell are you?!"
A chill ran up Pierce's augnted spine as he looked at the dozen or so strange figures in bizarre uniforms. His mind stalled completely.
The Reavers weren't part of the military — their origins traced back to a global rcenary outfit. But ever since they partnered with the Essex Corporation, they'd taken on the appearance of a quasi-official military force.
In this world where humans and mutants were locked in a never-ending war, any human-aligned force had essentially been drafted by the U.S. military — Pierce's squad included.
But Pierce could swear on his life — he had never heard of a squad like this among any human forces. Dozens of battles, countless augntations, and yet he hadn't detected their approach at all.
If Deadpool hadn't suddenly spoken up, these people might've slit his throat before he even noticed.
And that was what truly terrified Pierce.
In response to his shout, the Reavers imdiately turned their guns, aiming straight at the black-clad intruders.
Yet despite the hostility and raised weapons, the leader of the black-uniford team showed no reaction. He remained stone-faced, as if he couldn't care less about the barrels pointed at him.
"Are you Wade Wilson?" the helted man asked, scanning the group before finally landing his gaze on the most flamboyant figure in the crowd — Deadpool.
"What, are you a fan?" Deadpool tilted his head. "Be honest, you guys didn't just walk off the Star Wars set, did you? Oh wait — copyright issues. Those are terrifying."
"That mouth… yeah, no ID required," the man said coldly, clearly already fed up with the rcenary's nonsense.
Without another word, he pulled out a device that looked like a handheld ga console, fiddling with it as he addressed Deadpool.
"Wade Wilson, we're officers from the TVA. You need to co with us."
"Officers, huh? Yeah, I saw that little cara on your chest. Is that a body cam? I don't like those, you know. I'm a rcenary, not a movie star. Caras creep out. Unless we're talking about making actual movies, of course."
As Deadpool's words rattled out like rapid fire, the commander's expression darkened. Finally, as if his patience had run out, the man silently lifted his hand and waved forward — signaling his team to go grab Wade.
The TVA agents imdiately moved in formation, marching toward Deadpool. But just then, Pierce stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Deadpool.
"Hey, hey! There's gotta be so order here, right?"
Seeing that the strangers hadn't acknowledged his presence even once, Pierce clenched his jaw. He didn't know who these guys were, but this was the first ti he'd been so completely ignored.
He hadn't felt this kind of humiliation in a long ti. Raising his weapon, he pointed it right at the leader's forehead and spoke in a furious tone.
"Listen up. I don't care if you work for Stryker or the damn President. Wade is my target."
"That's right!" Deadpool shouted, poking his head out from behind Pierce. "I'm rolling with these guys now. If you want , you gotta get through them first."
The TVA leader rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Then — for the first ti — he looked at Pierce directly.
"You really have no idea who you're trying to bargain with," he said in a low, steady voice.
"Is that so?" Pierce sneered.
Around them, the distinct click-clack of guns being cocked filled the air.
It seed to give Pierce more confidence. He straightened his back and glared hard at the man, his tone cold and sharp.
"I've been around the world and back. I've never seen anything like this. So either explain yourselves right now… or you're not leaving. You're staying here — permanently."
Hearing Pierce's delusional bravado, the TVA commander looked at him like he was a complete fool.
He gave a side glance to his adjutant, who instantly stepped forward and began briefing him in a low voice.
"Captain, according to TVA records, this guy is Donald Pierce. chanical engineering prodigy. Participated in the abduction of Charles Xavier and helped destroy the Hellfire Club. Not well-liked, likely due to being a cyborg."
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Pierce raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah… just a side character," the commander said casually, shaking his head.
Then he looked Pierce dead in the eye and spoke slowly and clearly.
"Listen, Pierce. You don't understand what you're involved in. Leave now. Do not interfere. Or you'll regret it."
"What a joke," Pierce muttered, narrowing his eyes.
"Let's see how you plan to make regret it."
Without waiting another second, Pierce fired.
A sharp gunshot echoed through the woods — and the special alloy bullet exploded out of the barrel…
…moving toward the TVA leader at a snail's pace.
Yes — at a snail's pace.
Pierce could clearly see the bullet's trajectory — inching forward in the air like it was moving in slow motion. If one looked closely, there was even a faint ripple of a sonic wave visible in the air.
"What the fuck?!"
The entire scene left Pierce — and everyone around him — completely stunned. None of them had ever witnessed sothing so bizarre. Even Deadpool was yelling in shock.
"Holy shit! The Force!"
Deadpool excitedly slapped Pierce on the shoulder, screaming and pointing at the TVA commander.
"It's the Force! He used the Force!"
If it had been anyone else daring to slap him like that, Pierce would've imdiately made them regret it in the most brutal way. But right now, he could barely speak.
Glaring at the man across from him, Pierce forced down the panic swelling inside him. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and sneered.
"I get it now. You bastards are mutants too, aren't you? I've seen a woman before — codena Sway — she had powers like this. You don't scare ."
"Heh."
The TVA leader gave a mocking laugh and replied with a sneer.
"Ignorant."
Without another word, the man finally lost all patience. He raised his baton and began striding directly toward Pierce and Deadpool.
Seeing this, Pierce imdiately moved to counterattack — or at least, he tried to. But the mont he attempted to act, he realized he couldn't move at all. Not even blink. Not even speak.
And it wasn't just him. All of his rcenaries were frozen too — locked in place as if soone had hit a universal pause button. They couldn't even pull their triggers. They could only watch, helplessly, as the strange uniford figures approached.
"Oh fuuuck! What did you do to them?! I an— That was badass, honestly. You guys should've done that from the start. That blond guy was threatening , you know? If it weren't for you, I might've been toast."
"I just slowed down their ti. Their bodies are moving a hundred tis slower than normal, but their minds remain synced with real-ti. That ans they can hear us talking... but there's nothing they can do about it."
The commander stopped right in front of Deadpool, casually explaining the situation — just enough for Wade to realize exactly what kind of position they were in now.
Deadpool could still move, but it was clear he knew there was no escaping now, so he didn't bother resisting too much.
"That move was aweso! Can I learn it? Honestly, I've always wanted a ti-stopping superpower. Oh, or teleportation! Or both — yeah, I'd totally take both combined."
"You should shut up now, Wade," the squad leader said, raising his baton, its tip glowing as he aid it at Deadpool's head in warning.
"Okay, okay, General Grievous — you scared . I swear I'll shut up." Deadpool grinned awkwardly and took a couple of steps back.
But the next mont, two TVA agents stepped in from both sides and firmly grabbed him, instantly disarming him in the process.
"Ow! Be gentle! That area's sensitive, alright? Don't be so rough, you two."
The leader said nothing, simply staring at Deadpool with a cold, unblinking gaze.
Feeling the pressure, Deadpool coughed and muttered, "Okay, shutting up now. For real this ti. Trust ."
"Sir, is this really the guy we're looking for?" the adjutant stepped forward at that mont, casting a disdainful glance at Deadpool and speaking softly to the commander.
The leader simply stared at Deadpool for a mont, then slowly shook his head.
"I'm not sure either. But orders are orders. We just follow them."
"Understood." Although clearly unimpressed, the adjutant didn't say more.
She tapped twice on a small handheld screen, and an orange, rectangular portal suddenly stretched open from the ground.
"Take him in," the leader ordered, casting one last cold glance at Deadpool.
The TVA agents followed the order without question. They hauled Deadpool through the glowing portal, then quickly regrouped and followed him in, disappearing one after another.
Only the squad leader remained behind.
He looked down at the frozen Pierce and gave a mocking smirk before pulling a small hourglass-shaped device from inside his coat.
"You're no longer of any use. Consider this… an act of rcy."
With that, he placed the hourglass-like object on the ground, turned, and stepped into the portal — vanishing without a trace.
