I don't know what country you're in, but I need to talk to you about something. Don't freak out, it's not that big of a deal.

Got back from the Caribbean yesterday. Sup?

MSF wants me to go to Africa to fight Ebola. I think I said yes.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

You think? That's the kind of thing people are generally sure of before informing their hyper paranoid mercenary friends.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

[1/2]Well, I kinda...
[2/2]Okay, I already said yes.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

So you're, what? Asking me to run security for MSF pro bono? Can I get this kidnapping situation figured out first? Like, before you board a plane and head to a country full of potential Patient Zeroes for the zombie apocalypse?

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

No! See, I'm telling you now so that you have, like, time to come to terms with this before I go.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

You want to go to a country full of superstitious, potentially hostile people dying of a plague for which we have no cure or vaccine. And you want to do it without security - because I don't trust those government people MSF gets to work protection details for them. Not at all.

I was in a country full of violent gangsters and tropical diseases for 2 years, Wade. I went through all that school to help people.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

You can't help people if you catch a virulent disease and die within three weeks!

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

I'll be safe! Plenty of people are going and coming back fine, and I've got a shield.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Will you at least let me set up a meet with one of my contacts there for you?

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Fine, if it will make you feel better. FWIW I leave Thursday.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Janjay and Garmuyu Dukuly will meet you at the airport. I had Weasel hack your itinerary.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Are you mad at me or worried about me? I can't tell.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Why would I be mad at you? You're doing what you do. I'm just trying to make sure you come back from doing it.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

[1/3] Ok.
[2/3] Now that you've agreed, can I just say
[3/3] I know I have to do this and I want to, but I am a little terrified.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Stays in disease-ridden third world countries don't usually make one feel all safe and comfortable.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

"It's going to be okay, Cecilia. Your healing instincts will keep you safe, Cecilia."

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

You don't have a healing factor, Cece. So y'know. Latex it up and put on your protective eye-wear. Maybe a full face mask.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Wade.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Never mind. Meet me in the gym later. I need a kickboxing partner whose face I can aim at.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Sure. I'll see you there.
