Wade Winston Wilson, also known as Deadpool, looked around as he suddenly appeared inside a pyramid covered in hieroglyphics. Although a little annoyed by another breakfast interrupted, he had promised Harry that he would keep an eye on his sister, girlfriend, cousin – whatever Lady Death called herself. After passing through several tunnels, he entered a large room to find a man face down in a large pool of blood.
"What are you doing here, old man?" He asked no one in particular but almost jumped as a familiar voice replied.
"Oh, that Ozymandias. He was once a warlord in Ancient Egypt under the service of Rama-Tut."
"You don't say. Looks pretty good for some guy a few thousand years old, well, not so much now." He looked up and grinned and pointed to a grey-skinned man impaled by her spear. "And who might that be?"
"Oh, well, this is En Sabah Nur," she said after giving the spear a good twist. "He was, let's see, born nearly five thousand years ago in Egypt. Although I think you know him as Apocalypse."
Wade nodded and jumped on a stone block, taking a seat. "I heard that he is leading, or was, the Alliance of Evil. What about the Ozymandias guy?"

"He worked for Nur. So, did my master send you here?" She asked, sounding a little nervous, pointing to two bodies. "He would have noticed that."
Wade reached over and patted the stone next to him. "Want to tell me about it?"
Nodding, she vanished the spear and sat down. "I am trying to fix some of my mistakes."
"Mistakes?"
Lady Death pointed to the grey-skinned body. "Nur was a slave who became a conqueror who believed that only the fittest, toughest, most ruthless should survive. Not an uncommon belief. He also believed his mutant powers gave him immortality, extending his allotted time. And because he interested me, I allowed it."
"So that's against the rules?" Deadpool asked.
Lady Death rocked her hand back and forth. "Normally, we don't care. No one can outrun death. His powers don't work that way; even with his ability, he is mortal. But I wanted to see what he would accomplish with immortality."
"I only heard that he was powerful. So, you became enamored with him because of his powers?"
"That and he was planning on Global genocide."
Wade grimaced. "That would be a problem."
"Most people don't know Nur and his followers have been interfering with earth's history for a long time. Fate's not happy with me; Master's not happy with me." She sighed. "So, I'm fixing my mistakes."
Wade looked around. "So, you're done here?"
"Yep."
"Breakfast?"
"Waffles?" Lady Death asked hopefully.
"Sounds good." Deadpool jumped to the ground and offered his arm. "My lady."
Tackling with a grin, the two vanished, leaving only the dead in the ancient tomb.
