[There's something about watching Not (?) Logan go back and forth from the window that gives him a very distinct Lassie impression, like the guy's gonna start digging under the door in a hurry to try to get him out.
Oh, god, it's worse than Zodiac. He's stupid. That's the problem. That's why he keeps going back and forth. It's been a nice time, breathing air. See, if he'd watched Reminiscence, Wade would know what he was working with here! Though -- did he have muttonchops in that movie? Shit.
It's in between one of Muttonchops's reappearances that Wade gives a startled yelp. He doesn't know why, but there's a kid with diabetes staring at him through the water, until he takes a double-take and it's like swirling flames had taken him over, but made of water. Instead of burning, they tremble and flow. As soon as his brain pings Russel? the face sinks back into the water.
Wade drops the binder without thinking, reaching into to grab a face he knows isn't tehre.] Okay, there is not a chance in hell this is in the CGI budget. [He loses sight of the pacer outside the window, forgets him now he's not in sight when there's another face: the same amount of diabetes somehow, but it's sporting an Evil Spock goatee and bonus mustache. Somehow even in the water, the eyes are flat and dull. Nothing in them, even as Wade's hand goes straight into it.]
All right, what are we quarantining here? Bad memories and traumadumping?
[It's about the time long, long tendrils of hair start reaching out, ebbing and flowing with the water against Wade's arm that he suddenly jerks back, and a speaker buzzes to life, echoing through the office with a single alarm: QUARANTINE LIFTED.
Wade, along with the water, suddenly gets sucked to the side, along with the binder (probably somewhere on the floor) and computer chairs, computers, and everything else in the water's way. With a yelp the water spills outside like blood in the Shining's elevator, and him with it. Wade rolls across concrete, driving forward for purchase against the ground until the water starts moving up -- up into the fucking sky as the rain is still pouring down, and he has to swim out of it somewhat frantically to not be pulled up with it.
And as he pulls his boot out of the last slosh had flops to the ground, laying there as he watches a few thousand gallons of water disappear into the sky.
That seems abbynormal.
A head pops up overhead, but this time it doesn't come with the shing of claws right after, which in some ways would be a distinct improvement. Wade's heart does this heavy sink. Look, there's a shitload of variants, but it's just like, fuck, he had a good thing going, why is he back to a solo act? Just. Huh. Muttonchops, a few less wrinkles... (That's being generous. A whole lot less wrinkles, and minus one divorce. God, that changes a guy's face, huh?)
Then there she is. Bub. Wade gasps. If he wasn't already soaking fucking wet from his inside to his outside, he might even shed a tear.] Bub? [Thank god, it's him. Loge. He coughs water to the side and spits, flopping back down as his arms lay out beside him. Wade shivers, lifting a hand to give a salute. Hey, wait. Been here before, but Big Yellow wasn't in that movie.] You really are a goddamned hero.
